Brother and Sister Odd Fellos n
Epioy Themselves

Harmony Lodge, 1. o. o. f., was
visited last evening at its hall on King
street by the sister members of Pacific
Rebekah and Olive Branch lodges. This
is the first feature of social intercourse
between the lodges of the men and of
the women inaugurated in Honolulu.
The visiting ladies were formed in line
in the ante room in full regalia, and
when all was in readiness they We're
led into the hall by Brother j. d. Nc

A short address of welcome was
made by the Noble Grand of the Har-

thrown open for the festivities. A pro-
gram OF exercises was given by va
rious members of the Rebekah Lodge.
The Quintette club furnished music for
the evening and dancing was INDUCED
in until midnight.
Ice cream, salads and cake was
served during the intermissions. The
hall was crowded with the dancers
who so thoroughly enjoyed the innova-
ton of socials that they will make an
effort to have them regularly every
month.

"CHEERFULNESS."
How 1t Lightens The Life Of the
World

Cheerfulness is the illumination of the
soul. BY its radiant and helpful influence
the struggling mass of humanity is lifted
out of darkness and despair and shown
brighter way. 1t is to humanity what
the sun Is to the earth. That Is, it
changes darkness into light. And its
cheering, comforting and uplifting infiu-
ence reaches the sad hearts of the de-
spondent and oppressed. Marching on
ward, upward on the hill of life, pleas
ant greeting, and a few encouraging
words helps the weary traveller on his
way: ever placing before him the beaut.-
full vision of hope, bidding him not. to lin
ger or faint by the roadside. for the final
destination Is not reached. Cheerfulness
has in its power to tighten the weight of
that enormous chain that the living In
general drag behind them. 1t springs
and flows from the fountain of pure unset
fishness, and a spirit that enters the
thoughts, feelings. and interests of 9TH
ers.
The beaming glow OF cheerfulness Il
welcomed on the street. For many 9

the sight of bright face or bewitchfnt

BITS OF SPORTING
NEWS OF HONOLULU

The Healanis were not out yesterday
afternoon. Captain Atkinson complains
of being unprecedentedly short of men
and says that where he has one man the
Myrtles have three. He says that the
prospects of his club are worse than they
have been for the past two years, and
that enthusiasm is sadly lacking, which
fact he attributes to the tghtness Of
money at the present time and the in
creased pressure of business.
There was dearth of men at the Myr
tie headquarters yesterday afternoon an6
only one boat went out, operated by Al
Ian Judd, Albert Judd. p. NJ Lansdalr
and A. Fuller, who are likely to consti
tute the Junior crew. Owing to the alb

returned from Hilo and is not expected

TON Of IRON
Otto Nikomed Escapes
Death.
BOTH HIS LEGS INJURED
Shocking Accident at the Honolulu
Iron Works Yesterday
Afternoon.

otto Nikomed, young man working
at the Honolulu Iron Works, met with
a shocking accident yesterday after
noon shortly after 2 o'clock, while in
the discharge of his duties. He now
lies in the Queens Hospital with both
legs swathed in bandages, the right
one being terribly cut by the fall of a
heavy piece of machinery upon it. The
strangest feature of his injuries is
that he did not sustain a broken limb,
although pinned down for several min
utes by nearly ton of iron.
Nikomed was working in what is
called the middle machine room, of
which Mr.. Scott is foreman. a big
casting weighing nearly 1000 pounds
was placed beneath a hole drill. The
casting was a portion of a pumping
plant, and did not stand well when
propped up. The young fellow COM
menced to adjust the drill over the
casting when without warning the
casting toppled over. Nikomed was
caught between the casting and an
other piece of iron near by in such a
manner that both legs were crushed
and his left arm was badly lacerated
/ by the pinching il received on a sharp
edge.
/ The fall of the casting was heard by
his fellow employees and his cries fol
help were readily responded to. The
men at once pried off the huge casting
from Nikomed and he was dragged out
where his injuries could be attended
to. Throughout the ordeal he did moi
lose consciousness. The patrol wager
was called and he was taken directly
to the Queens Hospital.
The flesh of the right leg from the
knee to the hip on the outside, haC
been torn open until the bone wa:
clearly exposed, making an ugly
wound. The knee-cap was at first sup
posed to be damned out of it's socke
but upon examination was found IL
place. The other leg was also badl.
mashed, together with the left arm
His injuries are serious and it may b.
some time before he is able to regain
use of his limbs, although it is no
feared that amputation will be neces
. sary. Nikomed has not been with tn
Iron Works very long and is not reg

, tant in whatever department he wa

much of finance as a monkey, and who,
II is likely, has only recently become

This incident illustrates one Of the
blessings and consequences of expan-

Through the plague, fire and quaran-
tine. some OF the evil affairs In the city
have been brought to light, especially
regarding the traffic in Japanese girls.
Many OF the better class of people, un-
der the lead of the Ministerial Union,
became quite exercised ABOUT 1t. The
efforts put forth have had a two-fold
direction: first, to endeavor to deport
the Japanese men who own the gir.s,
and. second, to open a rescue home
In which to receive these and all I'M
fortunates of any nationality.
The first proposition came to a head
while / was away. and a number of
these men were brought to trial. but
the cases were thrown out. One bright
feature of this rather sad business was
the action of little Japanese lassie
who. determined TO leave the life into

been forced against her will. bravely
took the stand against ner owner. Fol-

1t called forth the appreciation of a.

During the trial and since we have
taken care of her in our home, and
never look at her but rejoice that she
has been rescued from that life. A tenn

SUICIDE OR
MURDER?
The Remains of W. E.
Miller Found.
WAlALUA PLANTATION MAN
Deeomposed Body with Head Blown
OF Discovered in Tent Near
MokuIeia.

Deputy sheriff Andrew Cox OF Wal
alua district yesterday afternoon noti-
fed High sheris Brown by telephone
Of shocking discovery which had
been made up in the hills behind Wal
alua plantation near Gays Ranch. Mo-
kuleia. The body of w. r.. Miller. a
water prospector for the plantation.
had been found In his lonely tent on
the hillside. with every evidence that
he had met his death by violent means.
A telephone message from Gays
Ranch TO Deputy Sheriff Cox was the
first lntimation that he had of the
tragedy. and he summoned cor Jner's
Jury at once and repaired TO the place
where the prospector had been living
for few weeks past. The party went
into the tent and beside n nauseous
odor. n scene horrible in its details met
their gaze. Upon the floor was stretch
ed the badly decomposed remains Of
Miller. Little was left Of the skull.
From n cursory examination the party
at once concluded that Miller had come
To his death by foul play. The entire
top OF his head was blown of and por-
tons OF the brain and fragments OF the
skull were found cllnging to the canvas
walls OF the tent.
The tent was also found fun of holes
as N done by several discharges from a
shotgun. This at first inclined the In
vestigating party TO the belief that
some one had placed the muzzle OF the
gun near the mans head 80 that In the
discharge that followed the shot were
