LITTLE FOR Congress
THE HILo JUDGE HAS BEEN
MENTIONED"
Says He is Willing If The Public WafFt. g
Him But is Making No Canvass-Na-
turalization.

Judge Little of 1ilo arrived last Sat
uTday on the Kinau from Hawaii and
is at the Hawaiian hotel. Recently his
name has been prominently mentioned
Tor Delegate to Congress and il was
thought that perhaps the visit to Ho-
nolulu might have been made for the
purpose of sounding the political lead
ers regarding his candidacy. Such
however is not the object of Judge Lit
ties visit for he is here he says, merely
TO attend to some personal business and
to consult with United States Circuit
Judge Estee regarding naturalizations.
by the courts. Judge Little naively ad-
mits however that he would be glad to
act as delegate to Congress if it is the
desire of the public that he represent it.
MY name has been very prominently
mentioned for congress" said Judge Lit
tie this morning. PERSONALLY I have
taken no steps in the matter as yet and
have been attending strictly to business
| have received a large number of re-
quests from prominent people of Ha-
wall, Maui, Lanai and Kahoolawe to
allow my name to be put forward as a
candidate but I am not making any
announcements upon this subject at the
present time If it is the desire of the
public that I should serve them in Con-
gress of course l would be most happy
to do so for it is very gratifying to re-
NSiNS ouIll dSSuIdhCtS VI the commence
of the public. Thus far however I have
taken no steps, and will await until I
have received further assurances"
My present trip is made for the pur-
pose of interviewing Judge F!s,ee upon
the question of naturalization. Previous
to coming here / held the same opinion
that he did regarding the power of the
courts to naturalize citizens but not I'M
til / got ready to leave Hilo did learn
that he held the same view of the mat
ter as myself.
Regarding my refusal to accept Mr..
Doyle as Interpreter 1 will say that the
statutes provide that have the right to
make the appointment and I decided to
do So"
Business is excellent in Hilo and the
sugar crops have all been very large"

has been for many years Clerk of the
Court for this Circuit, has resigned this
position, although his resignation will
not take effect until his successor shall

stenographer for the Fourth Circuit.

stenographer for the Supreme Court of

HILO August 1S.-Because his wife
refused to obey him a Japanese laborer
stabbing her with a knife The Japan
csc had been employed by the sugar
company at Keaau but for some time
past was DESTROYS of removing to Maui.
His wife, who performed odd jobs
about the neighborhood, refused to ac-
company him. He repeatedly begged
her to go with him, and on Thursday
night he made a final appeal. The
mans suspicious had evidently been
aroused for upon her refusal he be-
came angry and siezing knife stabbed
her number of times in the neck. He
surrendered to the authorities. The
woman was taken to Hilo and died
Saturday night. The Japanese waived
examination. He said that disobedent
wives could be killed.

No Heads on chinese Coins.

Z Numismatics who may in the dim
and distant future investigate the
coinage Of China in order to find some
authentic record Of the lineaments Of
its sovereigns will be doomed to dis
appointment. A representation Of the
human head separate from the figure
is there an object Of horror; hence
there Is never an ef1gy Of the emperor
on his coin. Further, the hermit-like
seclusion in which the Son Of Heaven
additionally lives is intended to stim-
sulate veneration; and there are very
few Of the subjects apart. from the
officials, of the palace. who ever see his

The deep window box was arranged
SO that the upper edge was even with
the glass, that the full benefit Of the
growing plarts could be seen from the
inside. In eac.- corner Of the box
thrifty honeysucAle roots had been
placed, and these soon sent strong
;branches up to the top Of the window

secret of those who had been crushed
In the downfall. A more etlcally
wrctched condition never met the eyes
Of men.
AS the day get older, however, there
was other work than grieying.
There was no drinking water In
the town, and the uninjured food
supply was short, while conmu-
nication was cut of from tue
world that was willing to help. But
above all was the necessity to get rid
of the dead, which in so hot a climate
began quickly to decay. In very many,
indeed in most, instances the dead
could not be recognized, and therefore
could not be claimed hy relatives.
The bodies were buried in trenches,
and boat loads were taken to deep

Advertising Street Lamps.

An Englishman has designed street
lamp which is intended for use as an
advertising device as well as to illu-
inmate the streets. The upper por-
ton of the casing surrounding the
fame Is used for the lettering, or O
pocket may be formed in the top Of
the lamp to receive porcelain or glass
sheets, which may be changed at in
tervals. The lower portion of the
casing Is formed Of clear glass, and
thus the advertising does not interfere
with the proper illumination of the
streets at night. The inventors idea
is that cities shall sell advertising
space on the lamps to partially pay
the lighting expenses Of the city.

from the northeast pitched the waters
against the rharyes and abutments,
choking the sewers and flooding the
city from mat quarter. The wind,
which had been some fifty miles an
hour, quickened to eighty-fouSl when
the measuring apparatus of the
Weather Bureau w:s wrecked, and the
rest can only be guessed at. The
streets wee rapidly filling with water,
and each person had to stay where he
was caught, rs 1t was nigh impossible
to move from place to place.
In times such as this, however, the
impossible Is done, and many men did
succeed in getting their families into
the more Lstantial buildings, such
as the public schools, the court house
and the hotels. From three o'clock In
the afternoon the wind increased
steadily until it was at its highest, and
certainly not less than 100 miles IN
hour. tt, barometer also continued
to fall, reaching its lowest, 2S.O4E
inches, at 7.30 p. m. This was the
very height of the storm, but this high
est continued for more than two hours.
The tiimsy among the structures in
the city were nearly all down, knocked
into kindling wood by the fury of the
wind, and even the me : substantial!
of the buildings were Ding damaged.

The Land OF Graves.

Egypt is the land Of graves, and the
whole energy of the people, that could
be spared from keeping life together,
was devoted to death. The mightiest
tombs in the world, the pyramids,
were raised upon the deaths of multi
tudes of tolllng slaves. The hills were
honeycombed passages and galleries,
chambers, pits, oil painfully excavated
In honor Of the illustrious dead, and
sculptured and painted with elaborate
skill to make, them fit habitations for
his ghost. Wherever he looked, the
Egyptian beheld preparations for the
great turning point Of existence. The
mason was sQuaring blocks for the
tomb-chamber the potter moulded I'M
ages of the gods, or bowls and jars,
to be placed in the grave for the pro-
lection or refreshment Of the IA, eX-
hausted with the ordeals Of the Under.
world; the sculptor and painter were at
work upon the walls of the funeral
chamber, Illustrating the scenes
through which the ghost was to pass,
or depicting the industrious life OF the
departed. The very temples which
cluster along the levels beside the Nile
were, in sense, but vestibules to the
tonbs in the hills behind. The sacred
lake, now the weedy, picturesque haunt
of waterfowl, was then the scene OF
solemn ferryings Of the dead. The
temple walls were covered with the
terrors of the judgment to come. The
houses of the living, indeed, were built
of perishing mud; but the homes of the
dead and the shrines where supplica-
tion was made to the gods who ruled
their fate, were made to last forever.
On these, all the strength, the science
and the artistic skill Of the ancient
Egyptians were cheerfully layished.
