GOVERNMENT FOR HAWA
Prominent Residents of the Islands
Express Opinions On the Subject.

San Francisco, Sept. 2.-The Call
prints large number of interviews
with prominent residents of the
Hawaiian islands upon the form of
government preferred by. them, the
labor question and other matters of
interest. The views expressed are sum-
married as follows:
Ninety per cent of those interviewed
believe q territorial form of government
the best suitable for the islands. Only
is of the opinion that the monarchy
should be restored.
The appointment by the president of
the United States of the members of
the judiciary is favored by a large
majority. There is but little opposition
to the retention in office of the present
judiciary.
The concensuS of opinion as regards
the officers for the proposed territory
to be appointed by the president is
that they should be selected from
among the residents Of the islands,
There is a division of opinion as to
whether the other officers for the
territory should be appointed by the
governor or elected by the people.
A large majority emphatically de-
clares in favor of the repeal of the
penal contract labor laws. Numerous
suggestions are offered regarding the
solution of the vexatious labor problem.
The granting of the franchise to all
native born and naturalized citizens of
the territory is favored by most of the
Hawaiians. Some think the franchise
should be restricted by educational or
property qualifications

Wewl. a cousin of Dreyfus, is staying
at an obscure hotel in this city with his
wife. He admits his relationship, but
denies his identity with the much talk

he is organizing lodges of the Wood

Freaks of the srauser.

'Those Mauser bullets did some
mighty queer things" said a wounded
soldier the other day to a New York
Commercial Advertiser man. "As long
as they were flying through the air
they went straight enough. but when
one struck a mans body there was no
telling what 1t would do. Sometimes
it would be straight through him,
bones and all, and go tipping on to
plug some poor fellow half a mile
away. perhaps. And then. again, It

a Nauser. The ball, instead Of lodg-
ing in his brain, went through his
temple and down the side Of his face
in front Of his ear, just under the skin.
It kept on under his skin, leaving a
red track all the way, went down the
side of his neck, over his shoulder and
down his back. Near his waist it came
out. The man Is getting well. An
other man was shot in the left breast.
The ball went through his chest, turn
ed down, went through his liver, plow-
ed its way through the muscles Of his
right thigh and came out near his right
knee. It's mighty queer the way those
balls go sometimes. / suppose they
hit bones and glance, but that won't

thing is that most all the men we're

LAST OF THE RosloRUcIANs.
Hermit Chemist OF London Dies 1t an
Advonrod a~e

-
Hermit Chemist Of LOndon Dies 1t an
Advanco Age.
The pre-Faraday school Of chemis-
try, the chemistry Of the elixir Of life
and the philosophers stone, in whose
strange nomenclature metals we're
known by such uEcouth names as the
red lion" the green serpent" the
blue dragon" and invested with mys-
t%erious, inexplicable properties, has
recently lost n Of it's last. II not its
very last, genuine disciples. His name
was George Knox, and he died the
other day in London at the age OF
somewhere about 80 years. For the
last thirty years he had lived in the
quarter of the city known as st. Johns
Wood, the last place where one would
expect to find a philosopher. The old
gentleman, however, knew nothing Of
the Ways Of his neighbors and they
knew as little Of his. Though a cheer
full old mar and exceedingly active for
mis- years, he lived the life Of a hermit,
his whole energies being bent on the
task OF resolving the chemical prob
lens Of the middle ages. MIR. Knox
used to call himself the last of the
R~osicrucians, and the chief objects Of
his pursuit were the elixir of life and
the philosophers stone. Three small
fortunes he had had left to him at
different periods Of his life and the
whole OF two OF them and the greater
part of the third went into the crucible
and the mortar. When a young man
he had Travelled all over the east, camp
ing with Bedouins and ~hobnobbing
with Brahmins and Tartars, seeking
information concerning the reconcile
and occult. The latter half of his life
was spent in endeavoring to apply the
information thus gained. One fortune
went in the making Of a few small
rubies and a commercially valueless
diamond. The elixir of life swallowed
up the second. Among other processes,
this latter chimera involved the boil
ing of a liquid in a crucible for three
years. Up to the day of his death he be-
lieved that he had discovered if not the
veritable elixir at least something ap-
proximating it, and to the close he at
tributed his health and longevity to his
connection. The results of some Of the
experiments he made with the elixir
before he perfected it we're curious.
It killed his favorite cat and took all
the fabrication out of his own joints,
so that for several days he went about
creaking like a gate with rusty hinges.
