There was much more that should re-

foul and dangerous here on account of
the rank growth of vegetable matter.
This drawback or fact is peculiar to

against the health of the district is the
stagnant water seen in every direction.

ing by Frank Ferreira and charged
was riding along by Emma square
when the officer saw the horse was
suffering to such an extent that it was
trying to lie down. When Ferreira
started toward Kaanaana the latter
tried to escape but was soon captured.
When the horse was examined it was
found that there were four large raw
spots along the back These were
swollen and seemed to be intensely
painful from the chafing OF the saddle.
The case will be heard this morning.

A Soldier Ouartette.

and began to sing MY Old Kentucky

crowd showed its appreciation by en-
Enthusiastically applauding. The soldiers
then sang a number of the sentimental
songs familiar to every soldier. Each
one of the singers had a voice Of good
quality. This was especially true of the
tenor Ernest H. Judd, his voice being
remarkably pure and sympathetic
Finally the crowd became so dense that
policeman had to order the singers to
cease. Their names were Ernest Judd,

Not Involve FataliSm An
Interesting Discussion.

The Social Science Association meet
ing at Oahu college, with Mr.. +. A.
Hosmer as the host. The paper was by
John Thomas Gulick, the well known
missionary and eminent authority on
evolution. The distinguished student,
by the way, is a graduate of Oahu col
lege and as a boy played about the
place where he last evening spoke to
a gathering including the most schol-
arly men of the city. Mr. Gu1ick dates
his research in the field in (which lie
has become noted from the time he
spent his vacations here gathering e
land shells in the valleys back of the
city The subject of the essay pre-
pared for the association was Does
Evolution Necessarily Involve Fatal
ism? % The conclusion of Mr. Gulick
was in the negative He differs from
Wallace and other great men in the
field, but is rather in accord with
Darwin. The reasoning of Mr.. Gulic!l

heavily influences growth or develop
ment, formation or change also de-
pends to a great degree upon the eff
fort or the performance or the thought
of the animal or the species itself. An
elaborate exposition of the law or
method of natural selection was Civ
en-, with an incisive criticism OF the
theories of Wallace, and other writers
on the subject of evolution. Mr.. Gu
lick speaks in a conversational tone, is
graceful and clear in his presentation
and has a remarkable faculty, for so
shaping his propositions that the very
logic shows the verdict of his mind be-
fore the summing up.
Much interest was added to the sub
ject under discussion by the remarks
of Professor Scott. Rev G.. M. Hyde and
others, by the reading, by Mr.. Gulick of
excerpts from his correspondence With
men famous in the world of investiga-
tion along the line that had been TAX
en- up for the occasion AIR. Gulick
proved his marvellous familiarity with
his subject by the readiness with which
he answered questions. He quickly
dissipated some repeated statements
that were presented as problems and
with facts from his vast thought on
the subject was able to brush away
faulty premises upon which some old
conclusions had been based. Reports
on number of experiments which had
been carried on in different parts of
the world were given by Mr.. Gulick
and added much to the knowledge of
number Of those present. There was
for a time lively debate on the subject
of the transmission OF acquired traits
or habits. Mr. GuIick could not agree
with those who maintained that each
individual was exactly and could only
be precisely what his environment
would naturally make him.
Mr.. J. S. Emerson presided during
the evening. Rev. Chas. NJ Hyde was
the secretary. By request Professor W.
D. Alexander read short commenda-
tory notice from a French scholar on

AWfulness Of Prison Life
The Realization That the Brand Of s'convict'
Never Can bo Removed.

"The first aspect of prison life that
strikes one who enters within tho doors
ofaprison is its cutoffness from the world
outside" writes Mrs. Ballington Booth in
the February Ladies' Home Journal. ssThe
man who has friends who still care for him
may receive stated number of visits q
year, when for few minutes he talks
with wife or mother or friend in the
guardroom, and he is allowed to write
one letter mouth and to receive letters
twice week. To him there is, there
fore, still this little bridge between his
cell and the world from which he has
been banished. To many, however, there
does not exist this link-no friends have
they to call on them, and the deliverer
of letters passes their cells every week
for years without stopping to hand a
message through the bars to them. Stern
discipline, loneliness, long hours of work,
narrow little cell with just enough
room for stool and bed, with thick
barred door through which the light falls
hanked shadows as constant reminder
of confnement-these, in part, make up
prison life. The felon of wealth and the
poor prisoner from the slums may march
next each other in the lock step and oc-
cupy adjacent cells on the gallery, for
to all intents and purposes they are alike
now. The striped dress, close-cropped
hair, the utter stripping off, of all com-
forts have a leveling influence.
"The awfulness of prison life lies in
the memories of the past; the dismal
contrast between home and prison cell;
the longing for loved ones whose hearts
are aching away out of reach the know
ledge that the wretched companionshlp
of misery must be theirs, in the weary
round of prison toll from morning till
night, for the long years ahead, which
seem interminable. Above and beyond
all this, prisoners have the bitter realiza.
ton of the brand that has fallen upon
them never to be removed convicts-
that they are degraded before the pub
lie, and will be looked upon forever as
accused."s .a.

opinion is that in order to annex them
we will have to fight. On the trip I
went into the mountains and saw the
dwarfs of which great tales have been
told. They are about four feet high,
pot bellied, slim and lank, have kinky
hair and are nearly as dark as a negro,
which they very much resemble. The
men Wear nothing but breech clout
and the women only knee skirt and a
loose armless waist. They are the same
as the Australian bushman, a very low
order of human beings and according to
some authorities are becoming extinct.

of Manila in the Province Lagunna, and
found very intelligent, enlirhtened
people. They are different from any I
have seen here. They are we'll devel-
oped, clean cut, intelligent people and
considering their opportunities, have
made wonderful progress. They live in
good houses, have excellent schools and
manufacture many useful articles. Free
and unhampered there is great future
for these people. From what I have
seen am convinced that the most mon
umental liars in the u. S. have at differ
ent times visited the Philippine Islands
and written of what they have seen.
Most of the articles which have appeared
in the newspapers, especially before the
war, are a conglomeration of distorted
facts and fabrications. I am as firmly
opposed to annexation as ever. The fact
that the people are intelligent is no ar
gument for annexation, for if they are
intelligent enough for self government,
we are guilty of an lnexcusable outrage
if we annex them against their will and
that is the only way we will ever do it.

change. If they are not intelligent
enough for self government, and don't
believe they are, they will he burden
to us and source of continual trouble.
We owe them no duty and are under nc
obligation to them. We have crippled

The Filipinos.
Seen From Soldiers Point of View.

S. G. Anderson, a friend of the editor
OF this paper and one of the brightest
law student at the university, writes a
letter from Manila, where he has served
in the 18th to one of his home papers.
He is a resident of Hutchinson and has
just returned having secured discharge

MANILA, P. l., Dec. 81, 1898.
In the last mail received the Leader
in which appeared my letter to Mr.. Lew
is. Since then I have visited quite q
large portion of the interior of Luzon
and find that have made some mistakes
in my impressions of the people. I Wis
rfed five provinces and from what saw
have concluded that it is impossible to
write up the people of the Philippines
without visiting every island and nearly
every province. They intermingle very
little and the people of one province
differ as much from those in the neigh
boring province as the different nation
alities of Europe. Very few people who
have visited the Philippines have seen
the people of the Interior. They have
Judged them all by the good-for-nothing
specimens that live in Manila and along
the coast and have done the Philippines
an injustice, or at least part of them.
I have been guilty of this error and want
to set myself right. I went 1876 miles
northwest from Manila and found We
