The fact is that inquirers Of this sort
are in line with much other bosh which

Wireless telegraphy, the public is in
formed is working perfectly between
the Islands to the South of Honolulu"
Whether that means that it is working
TO the Marquesas deponent sayeth not.
Presumably all the stations are said to
be in communication from Hawaii to
Oahu. But why doesn't the company
give some news of the happenings in
Kau, or the movements of the Kinau
and Claudine and half a dozen other
steamers. What vessels are in Kahu-
lui. Is there heavy rain in Hamakua,
and so on. Wireless telegraphy every
one will grant has been stated to have
succeeded elsewhere, and every one
hopes that it will succeed here, but it
is very evident that there has been
serious bungling on these Islands or
else the whole thing may have to be
put on a level with the Kelly motor
Everyone hopes for its success. But
certainly the realization is far below
the hope.

A LITTLE BOSH.

A very curious study has been recent
ly made with regard to fear and it's
causes among children. Investigations
of this kind only become of value if one
can be sure that the investigators are
perfectly honest. Any one who knows
anything about such Investigations
knows that both the inquirer and the
respondent are in nine cases out of ten
self deceived. The inquirer is prepared
to receive certain answers, and twists
unconsciously the reply into the pre-
conceived notion.
The child, in answering, is affected
in two ways. First, the average child
wishes to please and answers what it
thinks will be satisfactory to the ques-
tioner. This is heredity from our pri-
mitive ancestors. 1t is this trait which
makes the western man generalize to
the effect that all primitive races are
liars. AS fact all primitive races are
mentally children, and they use the
weapon OF children, which is to please
those who are in charge OF them. From
this one might argue that lying is (a)

Now is the season when the good
house wife is fore handed with her
Christmas cheer. The pudding the
mincemeat and the Christmas cake are
being compounded from curious recipes
which have been handed down from
generations which have passed away.
There is much joy among the young
folk who help stone the raisins pick the
currants and blanche the almonds,
every dainty of which pays little toll
as it passes into the huge mixing dish.
And then every one has to have a stir,
even the tiniest "randchild. Christmas
is not here yet, but the anticipation of
ii is a delight TO the boys and girls.
The old folks get their share of enjoy
ment out of the childish pleasure and
the "reminiscences of the past. There
was one house in Honolulu, where the
thirty first annual set of Christmas
buildings was made yesterday. What
number of bright faces that little Incl
dent means. What a number one has
known and loved have passed away in
that time. Life has some sorrow, much
sorrow, but happily we remember the
joys and not the sorrows.

The Mormon jubilee meetings have
been a success. The addresses have
been received with enthusiasm and no
doubt added life has been given to the
Mormon missionary efforts upon the
Islands. 1t is a curious fact noted by
one of the Roman Catholic priests of
this city, that the greater number of
Mormons in the Territory are recruited
from the ranks of the Roman Catho-
lies. Of this one feels sure few people

such matters

The Zealandia carried away many a
loving message and remembrance to
the Coast yesterday. 1t is a popularity
of the Islands to have a soft heart and
a ready purse Gifts and good wishes
were borne to the colder cline as the
steamer entered the channel and then
steered for the open sea. 1t is much
better to be the bearer of good tidings,
than to carry news of i'll. Christmas

1t is reported that the Grand Forks
smelter will blow in about August 15
There is about 5000 tons of ore now
in the bins of the smelter and the
first roast pile of 1000 tons has been
fired.
If the rumor that the B. A. G. is
seeking to secure the Trail smelter al
SO proves true it is thought probable
that that also will be enlarged. The

Great excitement was caused in Kas-
10 last week by the news of three mag
nificent strikes on the south fork of
Kaslo river. The most remarkable of
the three was that made on the Bis
marck claim, which was bonded at one
time by Frank Sherwood of Spokane.
The find was most unexpected. 1t was
made about 20 feet to the east of the
upper tunnel and consists of clean ga
lena from four to II inches wide. The
vein has been stripped for 30 feet, and
old-time miners say that it is the most
important event of the year.
Another good find is the one made
on the Cork mineral claims, owned by
the French syndicate. They have eight
feet of galena in an open cut They
are driving a tunnel to crosscut. The
Cork is at the bottom of the same hill

New Orleans, July 29.-Mob violence
seems to have spent itself and the city is
quiet again. No fresh outbreaks are re-
ported, the burning of the 1nomy Lain
school having evidently been the crown
ing piece of mob violence. Mayor Capde-
vile says that the lawlessness, such as
that which has shocked the community
for the last few days can only be sup
pressed by force He said today that he
had no intention OF disbanding the special
police or discharging the militia until the
last vestige of mob violence had disap-
peared Among the communications re-
ceiyed by the mayor today was an offer
from the leading citizens of Tangipahoa
for a sufficient number of able bodled men
to annihilate the negroes of New Orleans"

The labor forces of Holland have
been united. Twenty-four organiZa-
tons met in national convention, re-
pudiated their old policy of obstaining
from political action, formed an alli-
ance under the name of "The Social
Bond" and adopted the platform and
principles of the Social Democratic
party. The "a organizations compose
the strongest unions in the country.
The result of this action will be that
labor representation will be largely in-
creased in parliament and municipal
bodies.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics OF
North Carolina, in it's twelfth annual
report, states that the average daily
wages paid in the tobacco factories of
that state are: For skilled male la

cents; for unskilled labor men receive
26 cents. In the wooden mills skilled
labor receives, male, $1.10; female, So

male 81 cents; female, 20 cents. Other
industries compensate employees at pro-
portionate rates.
Some of the St Louis employers are
trying to force their employees to ride
on boycotted cars. The employees are
threatened with discharge if they re-
fuse to comply with the request of their

plications are probable.
The strike of the dock workers in
London has been on for several weeks,
but the daily newspapers of this coun-
try have not mentioned the fact. There
are nearly 10000 men out. The cause
is that the capitalists have broken their

1t is expected that the Morning Glory
will be cleared of water and ready for
work in few days.
The Surprise in Keller camp, con-
tinues in rich ore, and the owners feel
confident that they have the rich Dewey

1t is stated on reliable authority that
the Republic Reduction company's
plant will be in full operation by Sep
TENDER Z. If this proves true the Re-
public mill and the custom mill will
commence operations about the same
time.
The value of the ore in the Quilp
is increasing rapidly.
The water has been taken out of the
shaft and drift on the Flag Staff in
Cody camp. 1t was considerable of an
undertaking, as the shaft is 100 feet
deep and there is nearly so feet of
drift. The water came close to the
50-foot level.
It is reported in Republic that the
Mountain Lion company would declare

The ore in the raises never looked so

The Badger Girl group of mining
claims, which are being worked by
eastern capital under the management
of S. Bennett, has made a splendid
strike of rich galena ore at the bottom
of the incline shaft This ore is the
richest galena yet found in the camp
and the quartz with which it is mixed
is reported to assay high in gold val
ues. Mr. Bennett is more than elated
over the outlook for the property,
which is rapidly developing into one
of the foremost mines of Meyers Creek
camp.
Superintendent George Miller of the
Ben Hur believes that he will connect
the lower level of the mine with the
intermediate level within the next five
days. The lower level is 230 feet below
the surface and the intermediate only
115 feet below. A raise is being made
from the lower and a winze is being
sunk from the intermediate. When
these are connected the mine will be
we'll ventilated. 1t is then proposed to
stope on the lower level and it is not
improbable that the shaft will be con-
tinued down 100 feet The ore in both
the Wine and raise is of good grade,
running from $40 to $40 per ton. The
superintendent thinks that the average
is not far from $50 per ton.

Another rich ore shoot has been en-
countered on the Black Bear, at Loo
mis-. 1t is in the east drift on the
250-foot level. For the last so feet
this drift has been running beyond
any of the other workings of the mine
so that the strike is an entirely new
body of ore. Free gold is visible all
through the face of the drift, and the
ore will undoubtedly run exceedingly
high, though no assays have yet been
made. The finding of rich ore outside
of the area of pay ore already explored
is important as it increases the value
of the deposits to an as yet unknown
extent. There was much jubilance
over the find.

London, July 29.-Lady Randolph
Churchill (nee Jerome) was Saturday
married to Lieutenant George Corvallis
West at ST. Pauls church, knights Bridge.
Tie church was thronged with handsomely
dressed women. There was no restriction
upon the number admitted 10 the church
to witness the ceremony except the ca
paeity of the church, but only relatives
and intimate friends were bidder to the
subsequent wedding breakfast, and no re-
cepuon was held.
The usually quiet neighborhood of VIII
ton Place, where St rauPs church is To-
Gated, was Saturday morning early astir.
Before o'clock crowds had collected out
side the church gates. BY 1915 the
crowds had sweled to enormous proper
lions. The late opening of the church
doors caused great Inconvenience to early
guests, who were pushed here and there
and almost swept from their feet when
the gates were actually opened, and rush
vas made for the doors by the crowds,
fighting and pushing to enter the church.
1t was only with the aid of policemen
that they were controlled.
The church was not overcrowded 1t
was sparsely adorned with palms and
white blossoms. The two front pews
which had been reserved for the family
of the bride were quite unoccupied, while
the Cornwallis-West family was not rep
resented.
