tor n Turn.

Word was received by the kinau on
her last trip that u. n. Hitchcock was
very III and that his death was mo-
mentarily expected. so that little sur
prise was occasioned yesterday when
the news came that he passed away at
his residence on Waianuenue street.
Hilo, at 11:55 a. m. last Tuesday.
David Howard Hitchcock. ST., was
born in Honolulu, May 29th, 1882, and
received his education at Williams Col

through and paying his expenses by
teaching during vacations.
He returned to the Islands in 1855
and shortly afterwards was appointed
Tax Assessor for the Island Of Molo-

These supplies were mostly brought

10000 Men to Take Our Census.
l9ror, r aa,,-.,

The. general scheme of taking the CEN
sus is about the same as in all countries
Our own bin provides for one director
800 supervisors and one enumerator for
every 1000 Inhabitants. The director and
supervisors are appointed by the Presi-
dent. The director, though under the i'm
mediate direction of the Secretary of the
Interior, is the head of census office
created for the time necessary for the
work. His salary, according TO the twelfth
census bill, is only $500 per annum. The
salary of the 1890 director was $1,000. WHY
the new bin gives the 1900 director a small
er salary for more work is not known.
The supervisors are apportioned among
the various states and territories. and
take their orders from the director. Each
supervisor controls a district. He separa ties
his district into subdivisions, or
blocks of 1900 persons each, and appoints
an enumerator for each subdivision
With Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines included in the 1900 census. DO 900
enumerators will be needed. Each euum-
orator is allowed a maximum pay of Sc a
day. This will mean about $4,000 a day
for thirty days, or cost of perhaps
81, 100000 just for the men who count the
people and apply the inquisitorial process
The bill provides for everybody in the
charwoman. There is an assistant di-
rector at $4,000, five chief statisticians at
$1,000 each, one chief clerk at s., 500. one
stenographer at $4,000, forty-ive clerks
averaging 81 1900 each, an indefinite num-
Der of clerk at $40 each, a captain of the
watch at $40, two messengers at $500
each, a disbursing clerk at $1,000. and a
number of helpers classed as skilled labor
ers and unskilled laborers, the first at 800
and the latter at s240 each. The total of
these figures shows that the home office
of the census--the headquarters-wlll cost
about 500, 900 per aunum. For the purpose
of starting this office Congress has placed
at the disposal of the Secretary of the In
terror the sum of 100000, The whole cost
of taking the census of 1890 was Sc. 400. 900
The census OF 1900, however, will cost
fully twice as much, for there are more
questions to ask and more peNple TO an
swer, and much greater ares 70 cover.

FORGED 4 PRIESTS NAME.
Rev. Father Bazin's Signature Used
by a sMindIer.


Forged checks bearing the name Of Rev.
Father Bazin. pastor Of the Church Of the
Immaculate Conception in Atlanta. and
formerly pastor Of st. Patrick's Church in
this city, were presented to several peo-
pie in Atlanta recently. The checks were
for small sums and were presented by a
man caring himself Father signorri. The
Constitution says, some of the papers were
presented 10 Father Bazin, and he at once
pronounced them fOrgeries. Other papers
OF the same nature followed, and these
likewise were pronounced forgeries. The
forged papers are still coming in. until
Father Bazin has placed the matter in The
hands of the detectives.
The false priest. if the mysterious char
acter has really been playing the role with
which he is charged, has proven himself
to be as mysterious as a wi,-o' the
wisp. People have seen him, and yet they
are only able to give the most meager
descriptions of him. He IS said to have
been dressed like a priest and to have
every appearance of one.
Father Balm said he knew nothing
about the man at ALL He only knew Of
some one who Il is said represented him
self as FEATHER Signorri" and who had
been in Atlanta few days and had pass
ed several papers with his name forged
TO them.
AN the papers were undoubtedly for
geriess said Father Bazin. They have
cropped out now and then, but 1 know
absolutely nothing of the man who has
done the work

sTowAwAYs BRING LUCK.
Sailors Believe "A ship Never Sinks
With One On Board.
From Cassel's Magazine.


From Cassels Magazine.
IT am not given to lose my temper"
said one captain to the writer, but l
confess that when on one voyage we
found no fewer than fourteen men had
managed to stow themselves away be-
low, I felt inclined TO give them all
ducking, and said So" This was the cap
tain of an Atlantic liner, man to whom
the stowaway is a perpetual nuisance.
Though the strictest watch is kept to
prevent his getting on board, it is rare for
a trip to be made without one or two
specimens of the deadhead fraternity be-
ing carried, willy niuy, free. OF course,
this is not done entirely without con-
nivance on the part of somebody on board
the ship. The stokers are not infrequent-
ly the guilty parties. With their or
others aid the stowaways get down into
the hold and finds a dark corner in which
to secrete himself until the vessel is at
sea. If then he is discovered and set to
work he does not mind. 1t is not work
he is afraid of, but the being without
work and the bread that accompanies it.
When it is considered what an enor-
nous thing an Atlantic liner is, and how
many dark places there are IN her vast
interior, it is not surprising to bear that
scores Of men during the course OF year
get free passage across the herring pond
in one ship or another-and this trough
a steamer never leaves port without a
search being made to see that no unau-
thorized person is on board. Many are
discovered in bunkers and other such
places, and, of course carefully conduct
ed on shore, but not a few manage to
elude detection, and, of course, once away
from land, little is feared from discovery
There is a curious notion prevalent
among some sailors. 1t is that a stow
away is lucky passenger to carry. Ask
ed once why it was, an old salt answered
that he never heard of ship being lost
that had stowaway On board. OF course
ne had an instance in point to relate It
was to the effect that a stowaway was
discovered in hiding on an outgoing YES
sci at the last moment and elected. Shak-
ing MS fist at the captain, the wouid-be
voyaser cried: I'm glad you've turned
me out of your rotten ship; neither sha
nor you will live to see Christmas dav.
while | shall The prophecy proved a.
true one. The vessel went down within
week of sailing, and only the second
oHlcer and a few men were saved
one wonders why such superstition
arose, if superstition it can be called
Does II arise from the notion-old as the
hills-that the unfortunate are ever IN
