Former Resident Lectures on Ha.
wall and People.

At Pomona, Cal, recently, George
W. Merrill, who at one time represent
ed the United States Government in
Hawaii, delivered a lecture on the ISL
ands and people. A report says that
there were passages of vivid descrip-
ton, beginning with his departure
from San Francisco and ending with
his visits TO the prominent towns Of
the several islands. The description of
the principal volcano was realistic and
lie and private character of the people
were briefly referred to. Mr.. Merrill
says there is not an authenticated case
Of cannibaliSm in the traditional or
native Hawaiians never revolted
against native authority; that they are
essentially a hospitable, peaceable and
cOnfiding people. but when their conf

general, and nearly all read and write
their own language, and many one or
more other languages. The influence
not creditable.
\ great many articles Of native
manufacture were exhibited and their
construction and uses explained.
The attendance was large and all
felt we'll paid for their presence.

FUN IN EUROPE
Col Jim Dodd's Gay Days
as Minstrel Manager.
Had Big Company of Real Black
Peop'e-NeSroes Found Many
Admirers Abroad

The visit of the McAdoo genuine
with CCl. Jim Dodd The Colonel took
the same kind of company over
Europe some years ago. He had thir-
ty-four men and eleven women in the
darkies and all artists The problem
of preventing desertiOnS from the com
pany was what made Dodd and his two
assistant managers gray before their
time Negroes were curiosities in the
interior of Germany and in fact every
where a few miles from the seaboard.
All the bright song and dance men had
numDerless opportunities to locate in
various towns. Some of them found
white sweethearts. Two of them
Sims and Campbell-married and are
over there yet. They tried to leave the
troupe in Leipsic, but Dodd secured po-
lice intervention. On another occasion
j big detection was headed off by ship
ping the baggage on ahead. On account
of the cheapness Of wearing apparel in
Europe every negro had accumulated
a vast wardrobe and their fondness for
their costumes made them follow their
trunks. The negroes had their bumps
OF vanity protruding beyond their hats
all the time they were in Europe.
Everywhere they were made much of
and took kindly to attention. They be-
came so independent that Dodd had to
IresOrt to a drastic measure TO control
Them For the trip into Russia he Sc
cured passports from the American
Minister at Berlin. The United States
passport, says Col. Dodd, is the most
effective that can be carried into the
land of the Gar. In st. petersburg
the darkies set out for their sightseeing
trips, but were stopped before they
could get 500 yards from their hotel.
So soon as they found out about the
passports in the Colonies inside pocket
they were willing to promise anything
to get a little liberty, but the Colonel
was obdurate. At Moscow the darkleS
Organized a strike. AS they were leav-
ing the hotel in body they saw a
string of eighty Russian cOnvlctS IN
chains marching away for Siberia.
They had been threatened with the po-
lice and when they saw this impressive
spectacle gave in at once. At times
the darkieS were very eXactlng IN the
matter of treatment al hotels, compar-
ing the service with what might be had
| in America Of course they had never
dreamed of having such accommoda-
tons in the States but they liked to
put on style Dodd had the company
| in Europe for two years. He sent them
| home to avoid trip into Germany
during the prevalence of cholera. The
darkies liked Germany the best OF any

| latto women were greatly offended
there. School children followed them

of their hands.

A TALK ON LABOR
An Address BY a Planter
to the Research Club.
Experience In - occurring Field Har DIS
for Island Estates-Profit Shar-
irS-ItaIianS.

j. B. AthertOn. better able t1an al
most any man here to speak to the
labor problem as it now comforts this
country, was the orator on that subject
at the meeting OF the Young Mems Re
search club held last evening at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. w NJ Kincaid.
Mr.. Atherton spoke with earrestness
and presented vast array of facts, de-
failing the history of securing field
hands for the industry of the Stands
In talking of cooperation he made the
point that while profit-sharing ssnemes
could be made permanent on some es-
tates, such plans would fail on others
This was clearly shown by reference to
the difference in productiveneSs of
plantations. Incidentally Mr.. Atherton
mention that Hawaii had at last cut
stripped Java in the production of
pounds of sugar to the acre of land Gull
tivated and now stood at the head of
the list in this regard. In touching on
the use of Italians in the field of Louis
lana, the speaker said he understood
that this labor was really just as much
contract as any labor that had up %
date been recruited for this country.
Mr.. Atherton recited at length the eff
forts that had been made by the plant
ers collectively and by individuals in
the cane business to secure settlers for
plantation WORK. He spoke hopefully
of the future, but pointed out the
greatly increased demand for labor on
account of the establishment of many
been closed to Chinese and in a few
months Japan, by the action of this
Government, will be practically cut off
as source of supply. The effort that
we'll known, particulars have been pub
lished during the PRESENT week. Mr..
Atherton told of the small! wages paid
in the early days of sugar production
when there was little or no money in
the business. The increase OF pay has
been such that for many years all of
the people engaged as laborers have
been enabled TO send a portion of their
earnings 20 the home land.
Professor ]. T. Crawley spoke OF cane
field labor conditions in Louisiana, tell
ing how the Italians went direct from
the ships to the estates up the Missis-
sippi. Mr.. Crawley said that the negro
was not a satisfactory laborer. 1t ap-
pears that the darkey is not steady.
There was some talk, along the usual
lines, about the Hawaiian as a work.
man about the plantation.
Professor Scott, who was to have
made one of the principal addresses on
labor, was unable to be present.
At the conclusion of the discussion

himself, knew the symptoms as soon as
he saw the man. He told him to keep
iaway from the people and he reported
the case to the police station. The
man waited at the foot of Fifth street
until the Board Of Health sent men
down there TO take charge Of him. He
was later sent to the almshouse.
Simms has been in this city since
Friday last, having come from Belle
willie and Norfolk, Va, where It is sup
posed he caught the disease. On Fri
day night he stopped with a man by
the name of Floyd, who lives in Pritch-
ett's court. On Saturday night he stop
ped on Front street, and last night he
slept at "Al.' wrlghts lodging house
at Front and shipley streets.
DR.. A. T.. Frantz was called and an
nounced that the man was suffering
with smallpox and had a severe case

tlons, and he said his body was just
as bad.

ed by DR.. Stevens, who gave him an
order admitting him to the almshouse.

mittance, as the note was not in proper
form. Since then simms has

sired, and no one seemed TO notice his
