BROWN OFF
FOR EAST
Land Commissioner To
Washington.
GOES ON THE ALAMEDA
Will Confer With Interior Office and
Post Himself About Public
Domain.

j. F. Brown Commissioner of Public
Lands for Hawaii, departed for Wash
ington last evening by the Alameda.
He intends to have a conference with
the Interior Department relative to the
status. of Hawaiis public lands. He
believes that important questions
which have come up can better be
handled by personal talks than by
sending mail reports with long lapses
of time between the arrival and depar-
ture of steamers.
He will put himself in position to
answer all questions concerning the
public lands here and submit general
and specific information which may be
required by the departments.
Mr.. Brown took with him a recently
completed map of the Island of Ha-
waii and will have it Autographed in
Washington. 1t was prepared in the
Survey Office and is a complete revi-
sion of the official map of 1886 which
was drawn by w. A. Wall.
The new map is scaled 10, 900 feet, one
inch. j. M. Dom, who was formerly
connected with the u. S. Coast Survey
made the map.
| The crown lands will be explained
by Mr. Brown and some idea conveyed
to Congressman as to what the term
means. Whatever legislation on Tho
public lands of Hawaii is proposed

ity to be heard upon it,

Doorkeeper."

A German inventor has patented a
device to take the place of the warning
bell which now announces the entrance
of a customer into many small shops.
1t is called "the musical doorkeeper.
AS it's name implies, it announces the
coming of visitor by sounding tune
as the door is opened. Another tune
is sounded when the door is closed, so
that one can always tell whether it has
been opened or shut. One can also tell
by the quick or slow succession of the
sounds whether the door has been open
ed or shut rapidly or slowly. In addi-
ton, it is possible To change the device
so that fresh tunes may be substituted
when desired.

The consolidation of the British Co
lonial empire presents an interesting
phase in the antipodes. where New
Zealand is trying to annex the Fills
and other circumjacent, groups. The
idea is to unite them. after the fashion
of the Australian commemorative, into
one Federal pact. At present there is
a hitch, as the Fijians, stimulated by
the not disinterested appeals of the
Crown Governor. are fighting hard to
preserve their colonial autonomy but
the chances are that they must finally

No doubt these Islands could raise
good figs if they set about 1t in the
scientific way. but most people would
prefer that they should resume the
business of raising good musk melons.
Time was when the Hawaiian melon
was a thing of beauty and promised to
be a Joy forever. But along came a
noxious insect and spoiled the crop. II
Professor Koebele would set about 1t
and find the natural enemy of this de-
structive pest he would confer favor
that the assurance of any amount OF
figs could not equal. I'm the name OF

1t now appears that President Jor-
dan of Stanford University was kept
from delivering his proposed address
on Imperialism before the Irouuois Club
or San Francisco by the interfering
wishes of Mrs. Stanford. That estima-
bic lady has strong political as well as
economic views and she proposes to
have her university impress them on
the rising generation. Any scholar
who imagines that a Stanford ap-
pointment gives him freedom of
thought and who ventures to ignore the
superior claims of capital on the hu-
man understanding hears from Mrs.
Stanford by tho first mail or perhaps
by telephone. Likewise Mrs. Stanford
insists that her political opinions shall
BE- the only ones taught. Evidently
President Jordan has brought himself
to such state of subsection that he re-
spends easily to the curb, circum-
stance which leads us to hope that the
feminine owner of the brain and con-
science of the faculty will not decide
that the earth Is fiat and the moon
made of green cheese. Should she
reach these conclusions President Jor-
dan might be greatly embarrassed,
though we have faith that he would
come up smiling in the end and agree
that such hypotheses are worthy Of
more than passing thought.

If the ordinary sidewalks in the sub

cement walks there might be STAYED off
indefinitely. But where the walks are
never mended and where some of them,
as in the case of frontage owned by a
rich absentee owner are permitted TO
grow grass. the public soon insist upon
cement PATHWAYS as a right. Owners
who don't care to stand an assessment

With the swift steamers of the Ooe-

on the principal street, intending to rob

Nor did the proximity of an organized

where the land is suitable for the uses

ceptions being sugar tracts in actual

Navy with knock-down blow and
thus lost a chance to figure with that
gilded functionary and ambassador

macy of the Samoan mission. No doubt

was not imported. Acting on this be-
lief. the Glasgow magistrates have de-
cided to appeal to the Catholic clergy
to discourage the holding of wakes.
The clergy admit that among the poor
er classes wakes often degenerate into
drinking orgies. but add that tine
watching of the dead ought really tn
be a solemn function. Fortunately,
Glasgow possesses Parliamentary pow
ers to prohibit the holding Of wakes
over the bodies of persons who had
