Henry George,. First Friend.

Henry Georges First Friend.
In the late seventies Henry George,
the single tax reformer, came east
from California. He was desperately
poor and had but few acquaintance.
Shortly after his arrival he lectured
before the Saturday Ethical club of
New York. where his brilliant oratory
and shabby attire made so striking
contrast as to excite the sympathy of
those present.
After he left the club appointed
committee to aid him in getting up a
public lecture. Among others, the COM
mittee included Seth Low, who was
then engaged in business. He was in
mittee were in hurry, so he told them
to send him lot of tickets. They for
warded 20 to him the same day and
felt happy at having secured $50 for
the lecture fund. The next morning
came letter of thanks from Mr.. Low
praising the lecturers intellectually
and inclosing check for $3.50. The
affair was a success, netting about
$500, so that President Low may be
said to have been the first man to start
Mr.. George on his eastern career.
Twenty years later, in 1897, Mr.. Low
was the citizens candidate and Mr..
George the labor candidate for mayor
of New York. The latter made a Wig
orous campaign and in all his speeches
advised the citizens, if they could not
vote for him, to vote for his friend
Seth Low, and on one occasion he said
that if it had not been for the latter
he would not be there as a candidate.
Few understood his full meaning

FATAL ACCIDENT.
John Soetes Blown to Death by Giant
Powder.

HILO, November 22.-One of the
large undertakings of the Olaa Sugar
Co. is the construction of the flume
! from Kaumana to Olaa. In the work
a number of men are employed and
much blasting is done in order to OBJ
tain holding ground for the flume
| framework.
John Soetes, a luna under Mr.. Han
neberg, had charge of the blasting. on
Tuesday the work was progressing sat
isfactorily until it became necessary to
| spread" a piece of lava. The usual
quantity of powder with fuse and cap
was inserted but the charge failed to
explode. Hanneberg and Soetes walk
ed to the place and the latter with
drew the fuse and inserted a new piece
and Ngether the men walked away,
both, however, looking back to see if
there was any sign of the fuse burn
ing. When twenty feet away Soetes
remarked that the thing would not
burn and both men stopped for a mo-
ment. Soetes then went over to the
blast and just as he stopped over the
explosion took place. Hanneberg threw
himself on the ground as Soetes shot
up into the air, his body turning like
"a cart wheel. When Hanneberg re-
covered from the shock he ran to where
Soetes had fallen and found that one
| half of his head and one arm had been
| blown off.
Word was sent to town at once and
Doctor Reid went ou4 and made an eX-
animation of the body the result of
which was reported to the sheriff. De-

EXHIBIT WAS A FAILURE
MIR. BERREY TELLS ABOUT SHOW
IN PARIS.
Hawaii had Niche in the Wall and
Very Little i'm the Niche-Thinks
Money Thrown Away.

@. II. Berrey returned by the Aorangi
Saturday afternoon from Paris and a
tour Of the mainland. He was away
eight months, and i'm that time gained
IS pounds. A most enjoyable time was
had all over by. himself and wife, and
the broker returns with a list of stories
that would fill a book.
The objection of Mr.. Berrey to the
Hawaiian exhibit at Paris is well
known, having been published here be-
fore. He thought the exhibit a failure
in almost every sense, and said that
one day he was there ii was in charge
of Frenchman who did not know a
word of English.
The trouble with the Hawaiian eX-
hibit' said Mr.. Berrey this morning.
was that there was no exhibit at all.
In the whole exposition no country
made such a poor showing. Outside of
flag and bag or two of sugar and
coffee, which nobody recognized there
was nothing to it. Had l not been a
Hawaiian, and as such knew what was
in the bags the niche in the wall reser-
we'd for the Hawaiian exhibit would
have occurred to me as a storeroOm OF
a place for scraps from the exhibition
1t took two weeks to look all through
the exhibit Of the United States;it took
about the same time, with spy glass
to find the Hawaiian eXhib.
Il was completely DISCUS 4, and I
say to you now that the none spent in
sending forward anything was thrown
away. l was ashamed of our showing
Here where we have SO much with
which an entertaining exhibition could
have been made, to go there with a
farce of a showing made me sick. The
exposition itself was not a bowling sue
cess, but the Hawaiian part of it was
away down at the tail end"
Mr.. Berrey expects to buckle down to
work at once. He was at his office this
morning and will probably be in full
| harness tomorrow.

THINKS HE rs EMPEROR.
Chinaman Who Claims to Have
Escaped from the Palace at Peking.

VICTORIA, B. c., April 15.-The steamer
Rio Jun Maru arrived yesterday from the
Orient, and brings a strange story of
Chinaman who was arrested at wu-Chang.
After lying in jail and being beaten he
proclaimed himself to be the Emperor. He
claimed he had escaped from the palace,
where he had been imprisoned by the EN-
press dowager and has since been travel
ing incognito. He possesses documents
bearing the seal of the court of Peking
Identifying him as the Emperor.
A party of British government surveyors
engaged on the work of defining the Bur-
mese boundary had a collision with a large
body of Chinese laborers. who some time
ago waylaid and murdered Consul Lytton,
Major Kyttle and Mr.. Sutherland, OF the
former boundary survey party. This time
the Chinese were completely routed, eighty
being killed and many injured.
Official advices have been received at
Peking of severe engagement between
the imperial Chinese troops and a large
body of Boxers" a secret society. The
battle, which was indecisive, occurred at
Yen-Chin, in Pe-Chii province. About
four thousand men were engaged, the
forces being equally divided. The casual
ties were very heavy.

WASHINGTON. April 15.-Secretary
Longs implied willingness to accept the
Republican nomination for the vice presi-

made by him on that subject yesterday
was a matter of general comment in
Washington to-day. 1t set the Republican
slate makers to thinking and for the time
being has seriously upset the calculations
of those who believed that the honor would
go to one Of half dozen others mentioned
for the vice presidency. Secretary Long
was called on by a number Of persons dur
ing the day and was importuned for an
exact statement of his attitude on the
question. He seemed disinclined to enter
into any general discussion of the matter,
however, preferring to let 1t rest with what
he has already said on the subject, believ-
ing that the vice presidency is an honor
oi such character that no man could well
refuse to accept ii. The secretary, however,
is not an avowed candidate seeking the
place, but the belief is general that If the
nomination is offered to him he will accept.
Secretary Long was asked tonight for
an expression of opinion regarding Ad
miral Dewey's candidacy for the presi-
dency. In a good-natured way he evaded
making a reply. but laughingly remarked
that Dewey twas the honored man of our

will meet tomorrow TO take up all con-

csion of the committee will be final. Mr..
Brownlow and his friends control the state
committee, the former being its head.
Commissioner Evans stated tonight that
two sets of delegates would apply for ad-
mission to the state convention, and that in
case the Brownlow committee refused to
seat his delegates two conventions would
be held and contesting delegations sent to
Philadelphia. Mr.. Brownlow maintains
that nothing but fair treatment will be
accorded the Evans faction of the party
and that all proceedings of the committee
and convention will be regular. Fully one
third of the total vote of the convention
is contested, and upon these contests the
committee will have to pass. Two candi-
dates for Governor will also in all prob
ability be put forward by the Republicans
and a bitter fight ensue.

CLAIMS OF LOUIsIANIANs.
Canery Republican Faction Thinks
1t Will Carry the state.


1t VIII Carry the State.
NEW ORLEANS, April 15.-The state
campaign closed last night with rival mass
meetings i'm this city. The Democrats had
a rally at Elk place, presenting three dozen
speakers from four platforms. The Caffery
Republican wing held meeting at the
head of Canal street, styling 1t an indigna-
ton meeting to protest against election
frauds which they fear will be committed.
The campaign has been very bitter. The
Caffery Republican faction, of which Sen
ator Cafferys son is the candidate for
Governor, has severely arraigned Demo-
cratic election methods and attacked the
one-man power which they say is exer-
cised by Governor Foster. The latter at
one time threatened to call Senator Caffery,
who has taken an active part in the Re-
publican campaign, to personal account.
Despite the feeling aroused, however, the
outlook is for a quiet election on Tues
day. There are two Republican tickets,
one representing the Wimberly faction and
one the Caffery faction. The Democrats
have one ticket i'm the field. The Caffery
managers claim they will come to the city
with 10000 majority, which will not be
wiped out in the city. The Democrats say
the Caffery ticket will not get 10000 votes
in the State. The Wimberly faction claims
it will poll a larger vote than Caffery,
though it comedies Democratic success.
The election on Tuesday will be for the
entire state ticket and local tickets in all
the parishes. The next Legislature will
elect two United States senators. S. d.
McEnery will succeed himself. while Gov
ernor Murphy j. Foster is almost sure to
succeed Senator Caffery.
