THE KING OF LAYSAN.
Captain Spencer and the Island on Which
He Is Authority.

lie Is authority.
The "King of Laysan Island' is in
Honolulu with his wife, having ar
rived on the bark Ceylon, on n visit
for the benefit of the health of her
majesty, the queen. The king is Cap
tain j. II. Spencer, we'll known as q
ship master for nearly 80 years. For
the past few years he has made his
home on Laysan Island, where he
looks after the interests Of Hack
field & Co., owners of the is
land, in the loading of vessels sent
there for fertilizer. Since his taking
up residence on Laysan, the captain
has been called king of the island
by those who know him, as he is in
supreme authority on the little isle
from which Hawaii has secured so
much sugar-producing fertilizer.
Captain Spencer lives in n comfort
able fourroom cottage on Laysan Is
land, which, he says, is very nice
little spot, with a climate bit cooler
than Honolulu. There are three white
men on the island, 4 luna, carpen-
ter and an engineer. Thirty japanese
laborers, Captain Spencer and Mrs.
Spencer make up the rest of the popu-
lation. There is nothing for the king
to do but 70 see that the ships Hack
field & Co. send from Honolulu are
loaded with all possible dispatch, and
to receive and look after the supplies
sent him.
Laysan Island is about eight miles
in circumference. 1t was quite unin-
habited, though fertile, until the haole
of Hawaii found that there was good
fertilizer in its soil, and then worimen
were sent there, and the vessels be-
gan to call and take away as much Of
the island as they could carry. This
was 10 years ago, and since then
many shiploads OF guano have come
to Honolulu from LaySan. During
the past two years 5000 tons have
been shipped.
There are no courts, no judges, no
police on Laysan Island-only Captain
Spencer, who is master just as If he
We're on n ship, state of affairs to
which he is quite accustomed.
In few years the fertilizer will
all be gone from Laysan. Then it will
be deserted, the cozy home of Captain
Spencer will fall in ruins, and the
birds will have the little spot all to
themselves again. 1t Is estimated
that there is enough fertilizer left for
two or three years more, of the quality
used in the DaSt CAPTAIN SDpncpr
says that there may be great deal
more of inferior grade.
The King of Laysan has had a long
and interesting career on the sea. He
was a ship captain for 80 years, com
ing to Honolulu at intervals, his first
trip being in 1852. He was captain
at different times of the ship Florence.

1t is probable that the earliest sun
dial was simply the spear of some no.
mad chief stuck upward in the ground
before his tent. Among those desert
wanderers, keen to observe their sur
roundings, it would not be difficult
thing to notice the shadow shortened
as the sun rose higher in the sky and
that the shortened shadow always
pointed in the same direction-uorth.
The recognition would have followed
very soon that this MONDAY shadow
changed in its length from day to
day. a siX-foot spear would give n
shadow at monday in latitude 40 de-
grees of u feet at one time Of the

other time.

permanent form in the obelisks of

actual instruments of observation
had ceased. An upright stick
carefully plumbed, standing on some
level surface, may, therefore, well
make the first advance upon the M

Black VOLTS Daughter rnherits Million

An Indian girl, Annie Truehart Dill
lon. aged Il, daughter OF the Kiowa
chief, Black Wolf, has inherited Il
fortune of $1,000,00O from a rich cat
tle-man, John Dillon, who 10 years
ago was saved from death at the
hands of a half-breed assassin by this
little girl. The girls education is to

Of the Bishop of Monterey.
Dillon formerly owned a ranch on
the Rio Grande in Texas. On one oc-
c0sion, when an Indian employe
sought to murder and rob him, warn
ing was given by little Annie. Dillon
placed a dummy in his bed and
watched the would-be assassin drive
knife into it. He then shot the In

left every cent of his property to the
little Indian maiden who saved his
life and whose parents allowed her to
take Dillon's name.-Chicago Inter

LABOR CONDITIONS IN CHINA
Where the squeeze" System Is in Ehect-
Wages, Guilds and Strikes.

Where the "squeezo" system Is in Effect--
Wages, Guilds and Strikes.
The squeeze" system Is so uni
versal In China that it has to be taken
into consideration in discussing the
wage question. If a mans opportunl-
ties to squeeze are large his wages
will be small ANY employe VIII pur-
chases or gives contracts for his eii'-
ployer will have only nominal wage
or none at all, for it is recognized that
he will compensate himself from eX-
tortlon of the people under him, or de-
pendent upon his patronage.
The man who has no opportunity
however to squeeze is paid only the
lowest possible pittance capable OF
supporting life. This varies with the
price of food stuffs, and as transporta-
tiCn facilities are very poor often
makes considerable difference in
wages within 100 miles. For instance,
in Chinafu, the capital Of the province
of Shantung, flour Of good quality
can be bought for 25 cash per catty.
At cities two days distance by mule
or donkey the price Is nearly twice as
much.
Usually employers Of large numbers
of men feed their employees and pay
them still smaller wages, But if the
laborer buys his own food the follow
ing scale may be taken as accurate
for China north of Shanghai. l am
Informed that it is much the same all
over China, but have no personal
knowledge south of Shanghai.
This scale applies only to natives
employing natives. Foreigners en-
ployng Chinese always have to pay
higher rates. The wages are calcula-

They came to Chicago twenty-seven
years ago, and that was the beginning

The tide of anarchy in Chicago rose
higher and higher, and with it rode
Parsons and his Indian wife. They
lectured, and wrote, and took part in
all the secret meetings of the Reds.
When the bomb was thrown in Hay
market square and Chicago walked up
to the danger Parsons was one of the
men who was tried and hanged for the
crime. He was one of the Chicago an
archists hanged in the county Jail,
while the streets were deserted and
still, shutters fast on houss and a
black pail hung over the city, and men
were white and trembling with fear
From that time to the present Mrs.
Parsons has been growing more bitter
in her denunciation of present condi-
tions. She is woman with a griev-
ance. Her creed is education, agita-
ton, evolution with an occasional rev.
olution thrown in to make things live
ly. She believes in no private owner
ship nor in political government. Her
idea is to divide society into industrial
groups, each of them to manage its
own industry in its own way.

AN ANARCHIST QUEEN
the Head of the Chicago
Reds.
Lucy Parsons,

The dominating figure in the an
archist circles of Chicago Is Mrs. Lucy
Parsons, the wife of the noted an
archist who was hanged for his con-
nection with the Haymarket riots. She
is to Chicago what Louise Michel is to
Paris. Recently Mrs. Parsons was ar
rested for anarchistic utterances, but
she is accustomed to being in police
tolls. She hates the police and the
latter watch her as they would can
Of dynamite. "Hirelings of capital!"
and Minions Of plutocrats!" are her
pet names for the officers of the law
and these she hurls at them when she
harangues her followers on the street
corners.
Mrs. Parsons was born on the brown
barrens of Texas ranch As years ago
Her mother was Creek Indian and
her father pure Mexican, so that this
noted queen of anarchists is mixture
of the Aztec and the North American
aborigine. Her features are not In

well shaped, although her ears are
rather badly turned. Her eyes are
long and brown, and her hair is not
straight black but kinky. Her hands
are characteristically long and large,
with pointed fingers. When she talks
her rather thick nostrils dilate and her
whole face and figure quiver with ex-
citement.
She married Albert Parsons when
she was II years old, and left the Tex
as ranch. Parsons was then a report

Guides have existed from very early
times and regulate in some degree in
some places the price of labor. But
as competition is very great and the
country is most places overcrowded,
the prices of food for the days alb
solute need is about the price of labor.
a man has little or nothing left after
paying for his food, so that to obtain
clothing is often matter of difficulty.
The surplus after the days food is
more often expended in opium or
gambled away than put on the labor
er's back. Misery in winter is conse-
quently universal
Strikes ordered by guilds occasional
ly occur, and they are generally sue
cessful, as they are never undertaken
except in direct extremity and for an
otherwise irremediable evil.
