| Mr.. Peters is at Honolulu, the
capital, and is engaged in the cat
lie business. He says he is doing
we'll and improving every year.
He brought over stock cattle from
California, and is crossing Ameri-
can cattle with the native breeds.
He says the American colony is
constantly on the increase, and
at the time he wrote, Nov. u,
1899, the islands were in good
condition as to health and other
wise. He mentions fear of the
bubOnic plague and precautions
taken against it, and referred to
the fact that experienced plague
physicians were there, who would
be able to control the disease in
case it made its appearance. Mr..
Peters letter is in part as fol-

"Ivhe largest investments in the
Hawaiian Islands are in sugar

like the views anywhere else that
I have ever travelled.
"With the passing of Queen
LiliuOkalani new life was breath
ed throughout the Hawaiian
group. When the queen was in
power superstitutiOn and gamb-
ling ran riot, and it is said that
some of the old sacrifices were
occasionally offered to the God
dess Pele, to whom at one time
it is said children were offered
and slaughtered to appease the
divinity named. The island is
full of legends in which gods and
gOddesses figure, but the Pagan
practices are dying out along with
the lottery schemes which used
to flourish under the patronage
of the queen.

IN MGLennan county The sUD-
merged acreage now amounts to

Waco Boating and Fishing club.
Col. Walter V. Fort, Fred Day,
J. W. Mann, w. 5. Heard and a

acres a short distance beyond the

GAVE THEM BOTH BARRELS.
Plucky Woman Defends Herself
With Shotgun.

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 29.-Mrs. W. H.
Hall, wife Of a well-to-do Atlanta me-
chanic, who lives at Lakewood, is being
congratulated upon the defence she put
up against four white men who attempted
to take advantage of her husbands alb
sence. Just after her husbands depart
ure for the city the four men went to
Mrs. Halls home. She saw them at the
front gate acting boisterously. They
showed no disposition to leave, but con-
tinued their insulting conduct.
MIR Halls double -barreled shotgun was
in his room, and it was loaded. She
picked up the gun. stepped to the front
door, and deliberately emptied both bar
rels squarely into the crowd. It was a
good shot. for she hit three out of the
four. The men ran away and nothing
more was heard OF them until they
boarded a trolley car about half a mile
nearer the city. Among the passengers
was Dr. Ebbert, who had a short talk
with the men, seeing that they were
wounded
Zone of them" stated the DOCTOR had
a dangerous wound on the face and neck
The others were wounded in the thigh
and face. They left the car at Ridge
Avenue. The men were all nicely dressed
and were between twenty and twenty-five
years Of age"
The police have a description of the
young men, and if possible they will be
caught.

Tatesville, just over the Bedford County
line, indicate a serious condition OF affairs
there, resulting from the disappearance
of New York contractor, J. C. Fogarty.
who is alleged to have owed the Italians
who worked for him six weeks wages

The Italians, who are camped in
shanties just outside the town, are des-
titute, and, infamed by the exhortation of
leaders, they have made several desper-
ate attempt TO wreck property and indulge
in wholesale robbery. The sheriff has
organized posse and thrown g Gordon of
men around the camp. which is watched

tity of dynamite from the stock on hand

and they threaten to blow up the town
unless they are kept in food, and unless
a citizens movement is organized to com

Der of doctors and one hundred hospital
corps privates.

THE ALABAMA,s TRIAL.
Speed of II Knots Attained Without
Driving or MIshap.

The Navy Department has received an
official telegram confirming the press re-
ports of the successful speed trial Of the
Alabama. a despatch to the Department
from Rear Admiral Rodgers said that the
Alabama had made an average of II knots.
This was supplemented by message from
Chief Engineer Perry, saying:
Alabama easily made seventeen knots.
without driving or mishap of any kind
The easy manner in which the Alabama
exceeded her contract speed by full knot
leads the Department to believe that,
driven at her full capacity, she might sx-
ceed her trial speed by a considerable frac-
tion. There was no speed premium paid on
the Alabama and her builders probably
felt that it was useless to force her to the
utmost limit at the risk OF probable mis-
hap to the machinery. The Iowa, which is
the only battleship SO far that has exceed
ed the speed of the Alabama In trial. made
1904 knots. and the speed premium paid
on her by the Department amounted to
S217, ,420.
The Navy DEPARTMENT yesterday finally
accepted the battleship Kearsarge, which
has been in commission for several
months. This will net the builders $780,
000 heretofore held back in accordance
with the law pending tire final acceptance
of the vessel.
