Helped the Business of Illicit Sellers in
South Kona-Routine Business of
Commissioners of Education.

A special meeting of the Commission
ers of Education was held yesterday af-
ternoon to catch up with some deferred
business. The minister and all mem-
bers in the city were present.
One matter considered, and one which
took up most of the time for discussion
was the case of George Kanikau, a
school teacher in South Kona, who had
been arrested several times for selling
liquor without a license. The inspector
general reported on the matter. From
the statements of the authorities of
North and South Kona, it appears that
the man had been ordering the liquor
for a hui which was selling it,
The inspector recommended that the
commissioners express themselves as
much against that sort of thing, and
that Kanikau be informed If ever he is
heard of again as ordering liquor for
anyone or assisting anyone to get liquor
he will be summarily dealt with This
recommendation was adopted and the
secretary was instructed to communl-
cate with the man Immediately about
the matter.
Miss H. F. Coan, of the Hilo Union
school, was granted a life certificate on
length of satisfactory service with the
department.
w. Nredenburg, Waimea (HawalD
school, was granted leave of absence for
balance of term, he to supply substi-
tute.

of term on account of illness. Same
course was taken with respect to Miss
Franc Eaton, Hilo select school.

.KAHULU| BA BUSY PORT THE WHITE MANS BURDEN
READY TO HIRE THE BROWN MAN
TO BEAR IT.
California Farmers at Eva, the Exper-
iment in White Plantation Labor, are
Hiring Chinese and Japanese.

The Young Mems Research Club held
its last meeting of the season last even
ing at the residence of Rev. and Mrs.
Kncaid.
Several plans are under discussion for
the work of the next season. One of
these is designed to bring out more full
ly individual research by members. The
suggestion is that each member be re-
quested to signify to the executive com
mittee subject upon which he will be
willing to present paper during the
season. In this way the committee Will
have a better guage of the range OF
matters of interest to the club.
The subject considered last evening
was Labor in the Hawaiian Islands,"
j. Il. AthertOn gave most interesting
talk on the subject He outlined the
history of the growth of labor needs IN
the Islands, showing the reasons which
had led to securing labor from the
sources that it had been secured from.
The planters, he said. in the manage
ment of large estates which were liable
to serious losses from an inConstant or
precariOus source of labor, had sought
sources of supply that could be depend
ed on, simply from motives of ordinary
business prudence, and not from any
preference for one kind of labor over
another, or from objection to white Ia
Dor. In fact, contrary to belief in some
quarters, almost all the planters were
desirOuS of securing their labor from
class of citizens who would assimilate
and become a desirable citizenry, and
had made some costly experiments In
this direction. That they had not sue
ceeded was not to his mind conclusive
that it could not be done, but simply
that yielding to the immediate neces-
stiles of the case, they had gone to
sources of supply which they knew
would not fail them for the bulk of their
labor not daring to risk too much on
experiments of which the result was
doubtful, and which so far had not
proved very successful.
OF the experiment with white farmers
from California on the Eva plantation,
| he said the outcome was yet uncertain,
but the Indications were far from sat
iSfactory at the present AS a curious
fact in connection with this experiment,
an experiment for the introduction OF
white labor, he said that many of these
farmers We're themselves employing
Chinese and Japanese to do their work.

is IN TOUCH WITH WASHINGTON
HYDROGRAPHIC OFFICE.
New Correction Made in Barometric
Observation-Disclosures of the Bureau
Reports of Weather

A new correction in reporting the ba-
rometer has been introduced in all the
weather bureau work. throughout the
world, says Professor Lyons. 1t was
adopted here February 1, and all read
inGs since published have this correc-
tion, which for the Hawaiian Islands is
-.06 This is an important piece of in
formation for the captains of ships. The
mercurial barometric readings given in
The Stars daily weather report are
adopted as standard by the hydro
graphic office at Washington. Aneroids,
set by these readings, will be found
correct in reaching San Francisco.
The weather bureau was established
and observations regularly and system
atically taken in 1881, the work being
carried on by Professor Lyons of the
Government survey. In the year 1890,
they were first published, and they now
form part of the daily news of the city.
The results are forwarded every month
to the photographic bureau in Wash
ington and form part of the work in
that useful institution.
Professor Lyons has become identi-
fled with Hawaiian meteorological OBJ
servations, and has been most pain
stalking and accurate during long ser
les of years. BY constant practice and
careful scientific study, he knows more
about weather conditions than any man
on the Islands,
Besides the observations at the Puma
hou Weather Bureau there are daily
observations of the tides. These are
kept by an automatic register which is
under the charge of Walter Wall. The
results are also forwarded to Washing
ton. The observations have now been
carried on so long that sufficient data
has been accumulated to enable the
bureau to calculate the tides ahead
and they are published now for year
in advance.
This work is unostentatious and Is
not much thought about by the average
citizen, but it is of very great practical
and scientific value, and it is fortunate
that there are able scientific men in the
public employ who can devote their at
| tention to such matters. The ship mas
| ters watch the repOrts with great care

4 CORPSE ON THE BEACH
BODY OF A CHILD WASHED UP BY
THE SEA.
Found by the Police and is Subject of
Coroner's Inquiry This Afternoon.
Mysterious Case.

The body of a girl baby, in a box,
was found in the sand at the edge of
the water near the kerosene warehouse
in Kakaako about 10 o'clock this morn
ing. Evidently it had been cast into
the sea and had floated upon the beach.
A telephone message to the station
house announced the discovery. Deputy
Marshal Chillingworth hastened to the
scene. The box was shown him, and,
taking off the lid, he found the badly
decomposed form of the child. 1t was
at once renGved to the station house
where an examination was made by DR..
Emerson.
The race of the child could not be
determined The body had been eX-
posed to the sea at least two weeks and
the flesh was black. A part of holoilri
wrapped about the little FORM would
seen to indicate that it was Hawaiian
or part Hawaiian. Deputy Marshal
Chillingworth so believes.
There will be an inquest. Marshal
Brown said at noon that it would be
held today. The coroner stated that
John Kuana and others would be SUM-
moned.
The opinion in police circles is that
the child died shortly after birth and
was disposed in the way indicated
above.

THE IVA BURNED.
Fire Breaks Out at Sea; the Crew
Saved.

saved.
a second disaster to Island shipping
was reported late yesterday afternoon
The steamer Iva was burned and sank
at the entrance to Punaluu just after
the crew had taken to the boat.
The steamer caught fire about z
o'clock, when the vessel was off Wal
manalo. The fire started in the boiler
room and all efforts to put it out were
unavailing. Captain Kaufman deter
mined to try and beach her at Punaluu.
But the flames made such headway that
the crew were forced to take to the
boats at the Punaluu entrance.
The Iva was the smallest of the In
ter-island fleet. She was formerly own
ed by r. r. Hind of Kohala. She was
purchased by Wilson & Whitehouse
some time ago to carry material for
their contracting work in the various
Islands.
For some months past she has been
in the general coasting trade. Lately
she was thoroughly overhauled. A new
propeller was put on her which consid-
erably increased her speed and her up
per works were entirely rebuilt. She
was insured for $4,000 through j. s.
Walkers agency.

MORE OF THEM Used.

There are probably more Singer sew
ing machines used in the United States
than of any other one make, This is a
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points of merit are strength, durabil-
ity, easy running and simple construc-
ton. Very little mechanism to get out
of order makes repair bills small,
When IN need of a new sewing ma
chine examine the Singer before pur-
chasing any other make. b. Berger
