Ex-British Commissioner Kenny Sent
Speeding On His Way.

The late Actiug British Commits
sioner w. j. Kenny Jeff by the S. S.
Hongkong Maru last night for his
new and influential post at Hako
date, Japan, where he will continue
his valuable and highly.prized-by
his Observation-Disclosures from
practical standpoint into Oriental
conditions attaching to commerce
and politics.
He was by no means allowed to
slip away like ghost at the ap-
proach of dawn. The watchers were
on hand in strong force aud caught
him really son the fly" By some
mysterious influence OF heart.sym-
pathy Captain Berger desired to
present him with volume OF Ha-
waiian melodies and this could only
be done with the band present, and
although it was their day of rest, bi-
cycles, runners and telephones gath
cred them together in strong force
and harmony prevailed amid clink
clink of the ice" in the tumbler.
The next onslaught upon Mr..
Kenny's modesty and peace of mind
was made by the lei girls who, aided
by the British Pratoriau guard
headed by Murray, Macintosh,
Stanley, Give Davies, Harrison and
Henshall, and ably backed up by
the rank and file of the Cricket
Club, not only Hobsonized him but
so buried him under floral tributes
that he was a mountain of flowers.
Seeking refuge by flight to the
deck of the steamer he fell into the
hands of another large raiding party
somewhat more sedately but none
the more dang gerously friendly head
ed by British Commissioner Hoare,
Hon. A. S. Cleghorn, Starkey,
Sproull, Wright, and the fellows
who loved cricket in their youth.
Mr.. Kenpy's hands having become
somewhat lssome aud wsaried by
haudshakes, he was sufficiently
tanned to become absolutely defense-
less and in proper condition to be
victimized and martyreG on the
altar of friendship.
The attacking force TO the num-
ber OF three score or more placed
him in their midst, and taking the
time from Berger's band, and with
barred heads dulcetly but enthusias-
tically warbled "God Save the
Queen" and then woke up the slum-
berers at the Quarantine Station
With For he's q jolly good fellow"
Whats the matter with Kenny"
"Kenny's all right, you bet," and
cheers which showed that Honou-
LUIS cricketers are not sufferers from
lung weakness, or heart disease ex-
cept SO far as noisy failings in appre-
ciation of manly friendship is con-
corned. (And right here we must
interpolate a note: Consul Hoare
has a good voice and sings with
gusto and knowledge. Excuses at
our next merry meeting" will be
declined with L.Anks when he is
called upon to warble, and this is
fair warning, Please remember it,
Stanley and Mackintosh.)
AS drizzling rain, even with a
moonlight, is not as pleasant as
snug cabin an adjournment was had
to "indoors" and there the "doch
and dorrich" was pledged with
"Auld Lang Syne" and our next re,

spoke with friend as friends should

Not an eye was dry, nor a thirsty

When the Advertiser gets into its

sagely about the amount of coin in

cal economy, would it kindly tell US
VIII st amount is annually drawn
from Hawaii aud spent by the alb
sentee landlords, the number of
whom lie increasing daily, in Oak
land, Paris, Bremen, Wiesbaden, and
other jolly places. By SO doing
some light could be thrown on our

The capture of the Spanish pos
sessions is officially stated as being
in the name Of humanity and duty
solely. That the Fillipinos and
Cubans don't see it in that light any
more than the Hawaiians could see
why they should be robbed of their
country, is the misfortune OF these
misguided brown men. The S. F.
News Letter says rightly.
"What right have these scurvy
fellows, the Fillipinos, to fight for
their homes and their firesides.
Where is t,under the wide. wheeling
sun that might makes not right !?
What lnpndeut fancy caused that
arrent rebe', Aguinaldo, to point to
the American Declaration of Inde-
pendenre as a precedent to his own
fight for freedom "By and with the
consent of the governed" is an old
fogy idea and was long ago rslegated
to that other ancient brio a-brac of
patriotic tradition in the junk shop
of common sense,-George Wash
ington! What if it costs thousands
of lives and barrels of money, these
eight millions of barbarians must be
taught the delights and privileges
of civilization and brought to an un-
derstanding of the taking ways of
Christianity. Let us absorb their
scalps and shout Gods praises. Who
says this is not the land of the free?"

Freak of m Insane Man.

Martin Schultz, a farmer living
about four miles northwest of Brigh-
ton, became violently insane recently
and set fire TO his large hay and grain
barns which together with his horse
barn and a shed, were burned to the
ground. Mr.. Schultz has had spells
during which his mind seemed to be
deranged, but had never displayed any
violence. He made two attempts to
burn his house before he set fire to the
barns. After the barns had been de-
stroyed he went and laid on the rail
road tracks. An officer and large
number of citizens from Brighton had
a desperate struggle with Schultz. lie
was armed with knife and declared
he would take his own life before he
would surrender. He was finally over
powered and taken to the county Jail.

August, and from that date onward to
send 1000 soldiers a week until the
Philippines are pacified This will
give upwards of 10000 men by Oct. /,

have been closed since the outbreak.
These include San Tornado, coast of
Luzon, Apart, Curiamoa and all ports

must risk coniscation by the insur-
gents, who exact heavy tribute of all
shios they permit 10 sail.

Robbed and Then Murdered.

brutal murder took place at Flint
shortly before midnight on July lst
John easier, wcll-lxnown and re.
spected resident of the city, was as
saulted and robbed while returning to
his home. He lived until about
o'clock the following morning, but did
not recover consciousness. easier was
down in the city during the evening.
He was alone when last seen. People
heard shots but paid no attention to
them thinking the reports were made
by tirecraclers. Shortly after a pass
erby found easier lying on his face
near the walk breathing heavily. An
alarm was at once given. easier had
a bullet hole in the top and back of
his head, the ball having passed in and
downward toward the nose. Nearby
was Casters revolver, with one of the
cartridges exploded. There were evil
dences of rough usage on the murdered
man, one being a Jagged wound on the
scalp. Evidences of struggle were
plain; Casters hat, crushed in, was ly-
ing some distance away, and in yard
was his coat. His pockets had been
rified and considerable money taken.

be placed in regular commission in

II the story of Arson Castor, of
Flint, is true, his son, Fred Castor, an
Juno cent man, is serving sentence of
four years in Ionia prison, and the
guilty party is free. Frank Logan was
sent from Kalamazoo last November to
Iona prison on n sentence of four
years for burglary. A few days ago
Arson Castor was told by man who
had just completed a sentence at Ionia
that his son Fred was serving time at
that prison. The son told his broken
hearted father his story as follows: He
had been tramping it some and had as
sumed the name of Frank Logan to
hide his identity. While at Kalamazoo
he was arrested and charged with bur-
glary. 1t seems that some time ago
there was a fellow about Kalama-
zoo by the name assumed by this
young man who bore a very bad
record, and this fellow being about the
same age and build was mistaken for
the other party. He was convicted on
the evidence of one VIM. Cavanaugh,
who was a partner in the crime, aud
who said that Frank Logan was the
other party.

at noon on the Goth. Immediately af-
ter firing the fatal shot the assassin
turned his revolver upon himself, and
also took n dose of carbolic acid, dying
in about an hour. Layer had held the
position of city director of the poor for
a number of years, and displayed n
great deal of bitterness when Mayor
Balbirnie refused to appoint him last
spring. He had evidently brooded
over the matter, and had determined
to kill the mayor and then commit sui
eide.
