stealing and sentenced to be hanged

but a rope was tied around my neck
the other end was thrown over the
limb of lone tree, and six husky
men began to tug at the end of the
rope.
Before the rope frightened enough
to choke me, the leader of the men
came forward and said, stranger,

my doubts of your guilt. Amt there
no way for you to prove your inner

stranger said, If can unfasten
this rope which you have fastened a
round my neck and not unite it, l

Fright you are, stranger he said

long in the afternoon | took a long
walk along road or trail which led

of the road | found halter, and
throwing it across my arm | started
back to the hotel, thinking that |
could trade the halter for cigar if

Suddenly, | felt touch on my

Another observer of sea serpents'
comes forward in support of DR.. Bsh-
ops theory that what the Japanese
and Mr.. Mckenzie saw off the Coast
of Kohala was battle between whale
and some thrashers, and no sea serpent
at all. While it would be absurd to
deny the possible existence of gig
antic sea serpent, the evidence in favor
OF such a creature still inhabiting the
waters is by no means conclusive, and
is generally explainable upon some
other theory. The one strong case in
favor of the sea serpent" rests on the
statement of the officers and crew of
II. b. NJ s. Daedalus, which, if memory
serves, was in the early part of this
century or the end of last. The story
was discredited at the time, but the
officers were unanimous as to the fact
and several duels resulted because
their veracity was impugned.

Five days have now elapsed since a
new case of plague has been reported
and three days since there has been
death. The death of the woman,
Mimi, which was first reported as
plague, proved upon investigation by
the bacteriologist to have been a case
of pneumonia. This makes the situa-
ton remarkably encouraging and the
effect of it is seen in many direction.
Stocks have felt it, and there is renew
ed vitality i'm a branch of business
which was practically dead. People
are brighter and more active, and the
gloom which weighed upon everyone is
gradually being dissipated.

Manager Pain must have vivid i'm
agination' He is credited with stating
that the cars are busted at, the terminus
after each trip. There are hundreds
of witnesses to the fact that no such
thing is ever done, AS for the cars
being washed every morning, there are
equally hundreds of witnesses who
would swear that they have been in
cars on their first morning trip, which
not only had not been washed, but
which had not even, been swept. It
may be that Mr. Pains orders are that
these things be done, but his orders, if
such they are, are certainly not car
ried out. What the Board Of Health
should do is to insist on the musty old
cars being thoroughly cleaned and flu
migated, and if Pain won't do it, have
it done and the cost charged to the
Company.

The suggestion made in these col
umns yesterday that in the interests
of economy and for the relief of a
number of enlisted men who are serv-
ing at great pecuniary loss to them
selves a change of guarding should be
made has met with considerable sup
port from various directions. The pay
roll for the military during last month
is said to have been close on to 100000,
and there have been other expenses.
At present the force is being fed at
public expense, then there is a consid-
cradle amount for carriage hire and
other incidentals which goes to swell
the bill.
The Star does not say that this mo-
ney has not been we'll expended. At
the time it was absolutely necessary to
eXpend the money, and in point of fact
it did not matter what the cost was,
so long as the plague was beaten. But
as soon as it has been stayed and there
is time to take breath, it becomes in
cumbent on those who have charge Of
the public funds, that every possible
economy should be practiced. Now is
it absolutely necessary to have the full
military force of the Territory at Ka-
lihi7 Is there not some cheaper way
Of having the work done, just as effec-
/ lively?
/ The Star made two proposals yester-
| day The first was that as 100 men
were required for guard duty, vour-
teers should be called for from the
ranks, and the remainder of the force
should be allowed to return to their
regular avocations. This however would
necessitate the retention of the staff
which would considerably add to the
expense. The other proposition was
that special constables should be sworn
in, and working these men in eight hour
watches only 12O men would be requir-
ed. This seems to be a fair PROPOSE
| ton. OF course 120 men may be con-
sidered too few, but that is a question
of detail which would rest upon
whoever had the responsibility for the
guarding. What the public desires is
efficient guarding at a minimum of
cost. There are heavy expenses ahead,
which many people do not seem to
have taken into consideration.
There is yet another point of view
which must be considered. The mill
tary has been popular organization,
but if the work is made too burden
some, when there does not seem ade-
quate reason for it, the popularity will
wane, and the very men who form the
backbone Of the organization will not
care to re-enlist, but will take their
discharge when their term is up. 1t is
not wise to work a willing horse to
death.
The question is one of the hour. 1t
interests the general public, it inter-
ests the custodians of the public funds,
and it interests great number of men
in the ranks, who, while perfectly will
ing to make sacrifices when absolutely
necessary, still feel that some consider
alton should be shown for their inter-
ests when the direct pressure is re-
moved, and other men could be employ
1 ed to do the work. 1
