Struck by Lightning,

Daniel Shelhamers residence at
Alyintown was struck by bolt of light
ming ON Saturday. 1t entered the
house through the chimney and broke
plaster and woodwork inside, but for
tunately missed the family. Mr.. Shell
hamer is lying quite Ill in bed and the
shock has further weakened him.
The fences around the properties of
Mrs. Charles Sweeney and Bernhard
Dim, at Birvanton, and around St.
AIMS convent, were damaged slightly
by the lightning.
The flag-pole on top of Upper Lehigh
tower was also shattered, but no other

Life Are Bearing Fruit-One Instance
of the Several Successes Scored Through
Determination and Perseverance,.
The observing people of our COM
munity cannot help having noticed the
steady and growing tendency in late
years of the young people of Freeland
and vicinity to lift themselves to a
higher plane of education and to obtain
greater knowledge OF the worlds
affairs. These efforts of our young men
and women were a dozen years or so ago
scarcely discernible, so few were the
| number who strove for advancement.
In the meantime, however, u wave of
progression swept over this section, and
the limited educational facilities at home
were soon deemed inadequate. The
youth sought for broader and deeper
fountains of learning, and the town
stands today unrivaled in the efforts
made by its young people to fit them
selves for higher spheres In life. Free
land has now more students in the
several academies, colleges and univer-
sites of the country than any other
town OF like size in the state. That
| thls Is no idle boast can be verified by
the number OF collegians who are daily
arriving home from their studies at this
| time of the year.
Though it was but recently, compara-
lively speaking, that this general desire
for advancement among the rising
generation became so pronounced, its
effects are already noticeable in our
midst.
Our girls today fill positions in the
schools, in the business establishments
and in trades suitable to the sex, while
many young men of the region have
already advanced sufficiently to obtain
merited recognition as Instructors,
physicians, ministers Of the gospel,
attorneys-at-law, etc, and in the
skilled trades Freeland boys have no
peers, all of which can be traced direct
ly to their own determined efforts and
perseverance.
One of the most recent of those who
were honored by the court of the county
admitting them to the legal profession is
r. j. O'Donnel-a gentleman who is a
fair type of the pushing young men the
town is developing.
Like so many others who have risen
before him, Roger began to earn live
hood on the breakers; later he entered
Drfton shops, where he graduated as
moulder. His ambition, however, was
not in the direction of the trade he had
mastered so well, and after receiving
ms ulpioma from Vlllanoya college

Now in regard TO the present land
laws, Mr.. Loebenstein, what is your
view of them?"

| largely of restrictions and require

| United States lands laws are good
| enough for me, and if they have helped
| build up a country of seventy millions
of people, they certainly can be made
applicable to what the present Govern
ment has always been pleased to term
the peculiar conditions existing here,
| but those same peculiar conditions
have never hindered from granting the
same long leases on public lands as I'M
der the monarchy, and have never
hindered from making exchanges of
public property with individuals with
out such scrutiny as should have been
taken, or without showing such favors
to some as were denied to others.
These facts are of course known in
Washington as is evidenced By the pro-
enjoining the Government from con-
tinuing on those lines. Now, while
there may be a sense of comfort in
sneering at two-bit politicians and
others, not unidentified as being in
opposition to the Government. it may
not be amiss to state the fact that these
same two-bit politicians as rule have
carried the elections in the past and
can carry them in the future because
they are of the people, speak right and
work for the people,
Have you seen the Cullom letter
sent to Hilo, Mr.. Loebenstein?
4 am not at liberty to say
do you know any thing about the
matter and the statements made by the
local press?"
4 could not very well be ignorant or
unaware of the panic which the sup
posed contents of this letter have caus-
ed Senator Cullom, like Secretary
Hay, is probably unaware of the lines
upon which the Government has been
running since Senator Cullom was here,
and it is probable that the reported
influx of hordes Of Japanese and
Chinese as contract laborers is only
a fabrication Of political opponents
made use Of for misinformation,' and
that the promises made the commits
sion in respect to the future labor sup
ply have faithfully carried out. To
conceive as possible that a man like |
Senator Cullom could be mfsinformed
or deceived by any one, either in touch |
with the administering powers on Ha-
waii or the two-bit politicians Of Hilo, |

terday afternoon and naturally asked
first about his rumored Washington
mission
Are you going to Washington, Mr..
Loebenstein?"
Yes, | am going to Washington in
the due course of time, probably some
time in January next. No, 1 shall not
hurry, because l have reason to believe
that Congress will not take up our
affairs before that time"
In reply to the question why he was
going to Washington, Mr. Loebenstein
said:
Il go at the request of several of the
leading men of the Island of Hawaii.
and also of some of the prominent citi-
zens of Honolulu; there is also a GER
tain element in Honolulu, the native
Hawaiians, and, in fact, throughout the
other Islands, who will be largely de-
pendent upon me for representation
at Washington. Yes, you have heard
correctly, | also go at the solicitation
of several United States Senators who
are DESTROYS of better and more definite
information on certain subjects than
they have heretofore secured; especial
ly upon the matters of the electorate
and public lands.
"Oh, who pays my expenses. Well,
I'll tell you, if you won't tell any
body. 1 presume 1 have as much right
to ask the Council of State to defray
my expenses as any one else. But on
second thought 1 shall not apply, pre-
Stunning that a grateful country will
reimburse me-"
Just so, but what will you advocate
in regard to the electorate, Mr.. Loe-
'benstein?'
II shall advocate universal suffrage
for Hawaii"
\ What do you think of that portion
of the Cullom bill relating to the fran
chise?"
In the main l approve of it. But
upon reading of that section defining
the qualification of electors for rep
resentatives, 1 find the qualification
practically an educational one, in that
the ability to speak, read and write |
the English or Hawaiian language is
called for. This practically means a |
Acknowledgement of large number of |
those who have hitherto participated |
in the duties and privileges of citizen |
ship from 1887 to and including the |
last election held in 1897. Mind you, |
| have special reference to our Por- |
tuguese citizens, who for many years |
have always been found to protest |
support all lawful and constitutional |
means TO check such tendencies. In |
fact the Portuguese have been the |
bridge that has carried us across the |
stream in our every effort to popularize
republican institutions. 1t is custom
airy in some quarters to sheer at the
Portuguese, at their illiteracy, at their
to their clergy, and in
otner ways the effort has been mani |
tested to belittle them as a factor in
the Americanization of the group But

and its outskirts, but every outside
