d Lacked Finish and Got Himself
and a Thief IItO Trouble.
A Paris correspondent tells an inter
esting story of how a shop thief was
captured recently at the Bon Marche
in circumstances that in all probability
are unique. One of the private detect.
Ives in the pay of the establishment
noticed a man who, with the most
barefaced effrontery, was appropriate
ng articles of every description. The
Individual indeed seemed to make lit
tie or no attempt to keep his operations
secret lie simply walked from coutl-
ter to counter and filed his pockets
with whatever attracted his fancy.
In spite of the strangeness of the
mans proceedings there was nothing
to be done but to have him arrested.
and he was given into custody. His in
dlsnation was extreme. He protested
that II was most unjust that he should
be interfered with In this way when
other people who were behaving in ex-
actly the same manner were left I'M
molested, and he pointed to a stout
gentleman of most respectable appear
ance who he asserted had been. lay

without resorting to the formality Of
paying for them.
Tie policeman TO whom he had been
given In charge had been accustomed
to. listening to unconvincing explana-
tons and took his prisoner 10 the sta
tion. A few minutes later the stout
gentleman, also in the care of a police
man, arrived at the same destination,
The detective, whose curiosity had
been aroused, had watched the per-
sOnage and had found it to be true that
he was perpetrating theft after theft
with the utmost dexterity.
After a short investigation he was
recognized to be an expert and notori-
Gus shoplifter, whereas the prisoner
first arrested proved TO ne a lunatie
but recently discharged from an asy; |
luQ, whose mania took the form Of
initiating any person who might hap
pen to strike him. The professional |
thief was beside himself with rage at
what he described as the bad luck of
getting into trouble through the Vaga-
ries Of mailman.

A YEARS WORK At OLAA
TRANSPORTATION OF A VAST
ESTATE.
Seven Thousand Acres Cleared-Rail-
road Extension and a New Mill-Wa-
terheads Discovered i'm the Mountains.

HILO, October 20.-About one years
work on Olaa Plantation has worked
vast transformation on the big estate
near Hilo, where one of the lai gest su-
gar plantations ever known is being
cleared and planted. Already 1900 acres
are planted tor the first crop, which will
be the largest first crop on record in the
Islands. There are ABOUT 2l,OOO acres
in all, of which about 5000 acres in adj
ditiun to the 1900 are cleared and ready
for the second crop, which will also be
1900 acres.
Manager McStocker has built a fne
residence on the plantation, at the low
or end. 1t is surrounded by the 1900
acres of cane which has grown very
rapidly and promises to be a splendid
product
Olaa now has a saw mill with which
the cutting of lumber is being done,
and such an abundant supply Of water
that there will be a lot to sell to others
who may need il. The saw mill is a long
way mauka. 1t is making railroad ties
for the extension of the Hilo railway
cOmpany's tracks and will be used TO
cut lumber for buildings on the planta-
ton. There is great quantity of lum-
Der at the mauka end OF the plantation.
Olaa's waterheads have d flow of
24OOO,OOO gallons an hour. Their dis
cOVery was an interesting exploration
of the geological formation of the land
above HilO. 1t was only after a long
and difficult search among the dense
forests that the source of some small
springs was found. Then by digging
through the soil and lava Mr.. Nc
Stocker arrived at the underground
stream beneath. At three different
places streams were found, about 20
miles from Hilo. Fumes are to be built
to carry the water makai. AS little or
no irrigation is needed at Olaa, at least
half of the supply can be sold.
The HilO railway has begun work up
on an extension of it's line from Olaa
station, nine miles from Hilo, through
the plantation several miles mauka
The railway camp has been started, and
McStockers saw mill in the mountains
| is making ties.
Another great improvement that is
now well under way at Olaa is the
building of the mill, the foundation for
which is now complete, near the rail-
way station. The mill will have a ca
pacity of 1900 tons of cane a day, or
$50 to l15 tons of sugar every "a hours
A large part of the machinery is now
on the ground and all the rest is en-
route.
Olaa plantation is one of the biggest
enterprises of the kind ever set on foot
in the islands, and in the rapidity of
| going ahead and amount of work done
| the first year of it's existence as a plan
tation it is said to have no equal. First
class roads have been constructed all
over in addition to the clearing of 1000
acres, 1000 of which have been planted
the erection of buildings and construc-
ton of the mill foundation and develop
ment of Waterheads. In the end Olaa
will be turning out 10000 acre crops. 1t
is on the stage road between Hilo and
the Volcano, and attracts the attention
of all tourists who visit the Volcano.

REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS.
Stirring Meetings Held by Both
Parties.


The utmost enthusiasm prevailed at
the Republican meeting last night at
the residence of w. r. Sims. Sam Par
ker spoke refuting the claims of MIR.
McClanahan OF the Democratic party
who had tried to represent that Parker
and President Mckinley were not upon
intimate and cordial terms. In further
support of these statements the nomi-
nee for Congress read a letter of con-
graduation from his friend the Presi-
dent.
George r. Carter made a stirring and
telling speech in which he presented the
claims of Parker most effectively. The
speaker also took up the Republican
platform and elaborated upon the bene-
fits which it promised to the people. He
scored the hit of the evening when he
made an apt reply to George Markham
who asked some questions upon NUM-
cipal government.
T. McCants Stewart made a speech
during the course of which he read
letter that he had sent to a local paper
resenting being called a niger" Ad-
dresses were made by j. l.. Kaulukou,
w. j. Coelho, Enoch Johnson, Keala-
haihonua, John c. Lane, L. L. Nc
Candless, w. c. Achi, w. r, Sims, and
Junius Kaae.
An enthusiastic meeting of Democrats
was held last night in the Orpheum.
The first speaker was Thomas Clark OF
Maui. He declared that it was the De-
mocrats who had given Hawaiians them
franchise. The Republicans wanted
to limit the franchise but the Demo-
Gratis had refused 10 enact any such
law and steadfastly opposed them. In
conclusion he warned his hearers that
if they wanted to regain their indie
pendence and their flag there was no
other way to do it than by voting the
Democratic ticket.
John II. Wise said that through the
election of Bryan the people would get
cheaper clothes and supplies on ac-
count of the low tariff. If Bryan was
elected Cuba and Porto Rico would
get their independence and the peo-
pie here could not get the cheap
negro laborers. Samuel Parker

Il. r. Nicola nahan made a stirring

in its treatment of the Filipinos. j. e.

points.
