A FORTUNE OUT OF PIE.
How q shrevd scotchman In Aus.
4 tralia Made = Comfortable
Pile of Money.

One of Chicago's globe trotters spent
the most of last winter in Melbourne,
whittier he has lately returned. He is
naturally full of his travels and when
asked by friend to describe Melbourne
he said that the two features of the
place he best remembered are Coles
Book arcade and Hosie's Scotch pie
shop, which are almost next-door
neighbors in Bourke street. He de-
clared that to have been in Australia
and to not be able to talk about them
is to exhibit woeful deficiency in the
art of conversation. AS II to prove that
he is not thus deficient, he proceeded
to give somewhat particular account
Of the two men, Cole and Hosie, and
their enterprises respectively.
"Cole is alive and WE'LL" he said, but
Hosie has just died at the age of 6s.
An energetic young Scotchman with
only few dollars in the way of capital,
he landed in Melbourne in the early
SOS and started little Scotch pie shop
at the end of Bourke street-what time
two other young men named Spiers and
Pond were beginning in little res-
taurant at the other end of the same
street. In 1861 spiers and Pond risked
all their available capital in bringing
out the first English cricketing team to
Australia. The speculation proved q
great success and on the profits Spiers
and Pond were enabled to transfer
themselves to London and TO revolu-
tionize the lunch business in England.
But their pie shop in Melbourne is still
doing business at the old stand.
"Unlike Spiers and Pond, Hosie re-
mained in Melbourne, made fortune
out of his three-penny Scotch pies, built
pretty bijou theater, provided Mel
bourne with luxurious Turkish bath
ing establishment, erected couple of
gigantic hotels and attained the dig
nifty of mayor. He was liberal donor
to Melbourne charities, but always
stipulated that his name should be kept
secret. Now that he is dead and" said
this Chicagoan. "only few weeks be-
fore 1 left for home, it transpired that
it was he who in 1889 added wing to
the Melbourne Homeopathic hospital
at cost of $4,000. All his great
wealth was made out of pies. Chicago

An ALLEGED KAHUNA HELD.
SAID TO HAVE TREATED NATIVE
WOMAN.
Patient is Dead and Matter Now Being
Investigated by Coroner-Accused
Admitted to Bail.

The police have the handling of an
other kahuna case.
A native woman named Kha died
yestel day afternoon. Two men appear
ed at the station house and applied for
a burial certicfiate. Agent Reynolds
had refused to issue the certificate for
the reason that there did not appear to
have been proper medical attention.
Deputy Marshal Chillingwort inves-
tigated the matter. The men stated
that the woman had been attended by
DR.. Akina, a Chinese physician, but
that he had not seen her within two
weeks before her death. They denied
that there had been further treatment
OF any sort, but when closely question
ed admitted that a kahuna had been
called in.
The name of the kahuna, as given by
the men, is Namakaokeahi. He is said
to have visited the woman several
times, offered prayers, chewed ava and
gone through the usual performances
of professional sorcerer. At the
same time he said he hardly hoped to
cure the woman for the reason that she
had been attended by a physician.
Last night Chillingworth arrested the
alleged kahuna and locked him up.
This morning he was admitted to bail
in the sum of $500. He engaged j. L.
Kaulukou as his attorney. The charge
against the man is violating section S3t
of the Penal Code, which relates tc
sorcery, etc. and prescribes a fine OF
from 500 to 5000 or Imprisonment not
to exceed six months.
a native coroner's jury, with Johr
| kuaana at the head, has been sum
moned and will this afternoon look into
the case. The two men who applied fol
the burial certificate have been held as
witnesses. Dr. Akina will also testify

HISTORIC old STRUCTURE MILK LAW TO Be TESTED.
CONTENTION THAT 1T is NOT
OPERATIVE
Matter Goes to Supreme Court and in
the Meanwhile Judge Wilcox Wants
no More Milk Cases.

Food Inspector Shorey's crusade
against the dairymen who water their
milk was suspended unexpectedly this
morning by an order of District Judge
Wilcox.
Il driver for one of the dairies was up
and pleaded guilty to a charge of wa
tering milk. Sentence was suspended
for six months, The Judge added that a
test case had been taken to the supreme
court and until the questions raised
therein were determined, he did not
wish any more adulterated milk cases
I'm his court
j. T. De Bolt is the lawyer who has
gone to the supreme court in the inter-
est of a Portuguese dairyman. He con-
tends that there is not law in Hawaii
against diluting milk with water, and II
a section Of the statutes may be so
construed, it is so vague as to be in
operative. Judge Wilcox seems to feel
that the point is well taken.
| Mr. Shorey is undecided what he will
do. The matter will go before the
/ Board of Health this afternoon. 1t has
been suggested that persons diluting
milk may be prosecuted for gross
cheat. This section of the law is being
measured against milk frauds today tc
see If 1t will hold. In case the supreme
court sustains Mr.. De Bolt, there viii
likely be a test proceeding under it.
The dairyman who have been arrest.
ed from time to time under the sup.
posed milk section of the law are bi
elated over the turn of events this
morning. One was heard to say tha
he would put on two more wagons Il
the section proved imperative. Water
is cheap now.
