Methods of Collecting Taxes Institutod
 by an Official of San Erancisco.
 They are going to collect the tax, the whole tax, and nothing less than the tax out in California. It seems that there have resided in the city of ups and downs many Of that ubiquitous class of citizens who believe 1t cheaper to lie than to pay taxes, Salaries, it is rumored, were falling behind; his honor needed cuspidors in his office. The methods adopted by the new as- sessor, elected on a reform platform of his own making, whose name, cur iously enough, is Dodge, savers pung- ently of the ancient inQulsition. The way the thing has been done in most cities is for the deputy collector to call and leave a blank. This re- ceivtng no attention beyond a few minor items, such as "Steinway piano, twenty-five dolls;" household goods, furniture. ehattels, etc, one hundred dolls" the deputy humbly pockets what he knows to be a lie and goes his way; the result being that the very slgner of such libel Is obliged for another year to stumble over the pave ments he has since childhood decried. and stand up for more months in the street ears, whose overloaded condi- ton he has in print so violently exe- erated. These unmethods are de- elared by Dodge archaic, The new way is to force ones way into house and estimate the value of the goods from the standpoint of an outsider. The procedure is naturally meeting with much opposition, even by those who voted for reform and MT. Dodge The latter gentleman, however, is seemingly careless of a reelection and pursues the even tenor of his way all undisturbed The constitutionality of the case is being contested in the San Francisco courts.

SERVANT TO SEW 4RD,
Aged Retainer ot the Famous Secretary
 Leaves Fortune.

Leaves Fortune.
 William F. Butler, who served Will liam H. Seward for more than forty years in the capacity of body servant, has died in Brooklyn, worth some $75,- GOO. He was slave in his early life, but managed to buy his freedom. Com- ing to Washington he took a cookship in a restaurant, where he was when the secretary came across him. There was a certain quaint philosophy about the black man which was charming to the white. Butler was with Seward during the greater part of his public 9areer, and on his death had saved sufficient to retire. The tips he had received from his master have been well followed. He purchased land in that part of the capital which Stewards g knowledge of the city led him to be- lieve would soon be valuable. His small investment grew until the sum mentioned above is easily procurable The fortune is left entirely to Miss Evangelina z. Walker. of Brooklyn. Miss Walker is 8 young negress of 19, described as being of light color, as straight as a poplar, and of Cauca- sian cast of eountennce. She was godchild Of Buffers, and having lived in the house with him since babyhoodr regarded him as a second father. She nursed him tenderly through the last two years of his life, in view of which those immediately interested are prone to believe that she is justly entitled to the bequest. Butler was not mar ried, but has several sisters, who may contest the will. Miss Walker Is well educated.

AN EXCITING RUN.

Deputy Marshal Chillingwortb
aud n number of mounted and
bicycle patrolman had An exciting
run up Nuuanu street to Kauma-
kapili church Sunday night. 1t
was about 8 o'clock when three
children rushed into the police
station and made the statement
that there was a big fight in pro-
giess in the vicinity of Kaumaka-
pill church. The officers about
ten in all, hurried to the scene
and found a large crowd collected
about two dogs that were indulg
ing in fight to a 6nish, The
police had following them, a
crowd of about two hunred peo
pie, 50 that the number already at
the place was greatly swelled. or
course the officers were very much
disguised.
1t turped out that the childr en-
were telling the truth about the
matter. A sailor from one Of the
merchantm IN 10 port went up to a
place back of Kaumakapili early
in the evening and began to insult
a young native girl who had re-
fused to go along with him. The
natives of the vicinity were very
angry when they found what the
white man had done and chased
after him. When the fellow
reached the main street, he STUN
eled and fell. The natives then
jumped on him and started to give
him a good drubbipg. Just at
that time, Officer Peabi, who lives
in the vicinity, ran up, with his
dog following. The animal spied
an enemy and gave fight at once.
the natives forgot about the white
man, allowed him to escape and
and turned their attention to the
dog fight.

WILL NEED THE SURPLUS.

Minister Damon has wisely
kept out of any controversy whic b
would lead him to defend his
action in not dealing out public
funds with more liberal hand.
The annual report of the Minister
of Finance and Auditor General
speaks for itself and it is apparent
that Mr.. Damon needs no further
defence than a reference to his
current account balance sheet.
The Minister has been
playing careful hand on account
of the probable loss, at a not far
distant day, of sources of revenue
that will be taken over by the
Federal government,The 6gurestor
the past year Indicate that Mr.. Da-
mons conservative policy is not as
i'll advised as his opponents repre-
sent. The income for the year,
less the revenue from the customs
and postotiice departments, was
81 ,5S5, O57. SO; the general expenses
not including interest on loans,
expenses of the customs and postal
departments was Sl,778,69O 80.
Thus had American laws been ex-
tended to Hawaii at the begin ming
Of the fiscal year the Minister OF
Finance would have had to face a
deficit of about 100000.
Extension OF American laws
will cut off over fifty percent Of
Hawaii's present income while the
reduction of expenses in depart
mental pay rolls will not be more
tlan twenty five percent, There is
NJ question that Mr.. Damon will
find an opportunity to use the
gu plos he is carrying in the in
terests Of the pr ople, when Ameri-
can laws are in force.
