A Sharp Youngster.

Otto Gertz, young Island boy,
is behind the bars at the Police
Station The young fellow left here
one or Two years ago for San Fran
cisco, after his Island home had
been broken up, and became mes
senger boy in which position he
learned the sharp tricks of the
World
He returned to Honolulu and was
employed in the New England
Bakery. Working on wages seemed
too slow a method to gain fame and
fortune, and Gertz is now held in
custody for fraudulently circulating
confederate paper money. As a
medium, it is alleged, that he Red a
young Filipino boy whose confess
sion has placed Gertz in pilikia
While being Investigated by the
Marshal, young (5ertz showed a
surprising sharpness in answering
the questions put to him. Upon a

money were found, although it is
alleged that he has 5000 worth OF

Tt is most serious problem to
deal with and it seems as if the
authorities are facing situation for
which they are entirely unprepared.
1t would not be right to keep people
pronounced free from any suspicion
of the plague in quarters where peo-
pie from infected houses are to be
lodged If no case breaks out at the
detention houses at Kakaako, say
during this week about 200 people
will be entitled to certificate of
health and their release. Would it
not be outrageous to keep these peo-
pie there and ask them to mix with
a fresh lot of men and women taken
from he condemned quarters and
amonG whom the epidemic may at
any time break out, and thereby jeo-
pardizing the lot that was entitled
to be released from quarantine?

Never fear, Mr.. Chinaman. This
tiny speck of plague is not to kill
you all
Every white man in Honolulu is
your friend aud is sorry for you in
your anxiety and is working and
planning for your real good aud for
your future prosperity. But there
must be health in a city first of all,
the conditions must be made very
secure even as have intimated be-
fore, and at the cholera season, if
house and fence and sidewalk go to
make smoke! What is under your
old rotten sidewalk? Bring ont the
microscope. This country Hawaii
is being, to-day, crucifed in way;
but resurrection will surely come
and come quickly. The people are
of one heart and are Of one mind in
this matter. Intelligence aud skill
and will are in the work and it will
all be done and be done thoroughly.
There will be resurrection. In less
time than two years Chinatown 20

through good streets, remarking the
fine corners the beautiful buildings,
its young palms, its park for poor
children and many other points of
beautiful aud comfort.
We believe that this touch of the
plague is solemn warning to tell
us, in large point, what might hap

unmindful or forgetful in the future;

mand that they rise to our level of

fashions of temperance and true
living. "Am | my brothers keeper?"

A Point Well Made.

Lord Russell took great interest in
sport of all kinds. and he had a weak
ness for lecturing people of all sorts
on their shortcomings. When in Oc-
tober, 1898, the London Irish Rugby
football club was matched to play
Hammersmith club on the London
county athletic ground, Herne hill,
Lord Russell was invited and consent
ed to kick off the ball. On arriving
punctually at the hour appointed he
found that some of the members of the
Irish team were not on the ground. He
waited patiently for ten or fifteen min
utes until all the players were assem-
bled, and then called up Mr.. Dyas, the
captain of the London Irish, and de-
livered the following homily: Capt.
Dyas and members of the London Irish
football club. desire to point out to
you that one of your cardinal rules In
life should be punctuality. Unless you
study that rule, whether in business or
play, you will never be successful men.
and hope that you will take to heart
the lesson l am now reading YOU" The
lord chief justice with the utmost grav-
ity then proceeded to kick off the ball.

Bows LassO a WheeIman.

Small boys of Oak Park are giving
the police much trouble. Led on, it
is said, by reading wild west litera-
ture, they have armed themselves with
small arms and lassos, with which they
are doing much damage among the
song birds and annoying greatly the
citizens with their ropes. Last Satur-
day George Baldwin Of Oak Park was
jerked from his bicycle by being las
seed by some boys. He was going at
rapid rate. and the rope thrown over
his head brought him to the street
He was injured severely by the fall,
but refused to prosecute the boys be-
cause they were sons of his friends

CHAPTER Y

The White House was one of the
most comfortable of homes; no dis
sension was ever heard there. The
very servants. who had been in Mrs.
Anstruthers service for years, seemed
to share the prevailing harmony OF
cortentment, and took pride in serv-
ing the family faithfully.
And MOllie could not but notice the
difference as. after a somewhat quiet
walk home along the country rold that
separated the two houses by about a
mile, the gates of ChalfCnt had Changed
to behind them, and a m0rOse- looking
maid opened the hail door.
No household could have been happy
under Madame Dubois tyrannical rule.
Mollie had quite made up her mind to
that; and also another point-namely:
That both mother and son were to be
kept at arms length; that she was a
I.'Estrange. and could not-could not
stand them,
And she had walked home in a fer
ment of indignation because Henri,
after all the rebuffs she had given him,
had actually dared to call her Mol
lee" before the Anstruthers and few
visitors who had come in, and assumed
airs of proprietorsbip as he marched
them home.
So as Kate skipped off after the
sulky-lOoking maid, she turned abrupt
ly to the young man, who was loung
ing in the doorway furtively watching
her with a faint cynical smile in his
round black eyes. She was but a
school girl, this young English mees,
hut she was adorably pretty. with a
skin--ah, such lovely white skin
what would not Celestine or Lucie give
for it!
Monsieur Dubois" she said gently.
fixing her clear gray eyes upon his
dark face, NOW my half-sister Is gone
! wish to speak to yOu-tO remind you
that we are mere acquaintance, and
to such I am not 'Mollie.' but Miss
L'Estrange. I am sorry you have
forced me to mention this. ! hoped
that you understood It."
For a moment they stood facing
each other. but her eyes never quailed
before his; she had spirit and courage,

The funeral in Hamburg is a novel
~ for the American. The big hearse
has fancy curtains on It's glass sides,
front and rear, Of sky-blue cloth. 1t
Is followed on foot by bearers decked
like the knights of old in close-ftting
black jackets, white skirts with large
ruffled collars and fronts, dark velvet
knickerbockers, lOw-cut shoes with
broad silver bands. A black chapeau
such as Napoleon used to wear covers
the heads and each man carries a
sword. One cortege that saw had
two open carryalls filled with men
smoking, and this pastime was carried
on with the hearse only six feet ahead.

drivers were dressed in bottle green

False Teeth as Legacy.

Mrs. Henrietta Chase of Danbury,

little property to various persons. To

will be founu in the upper right-hand
drawer of my bureau" The young
man at once concluded that his aunt

And she paused irresolutely as his
mccking laugh fell upon her ear.
"Rah. mademoiselle, she lives but for
me-" he said. with yelled insolence.

1t was true Mollie's heart was beat
ing uncomfortably fast; the prospect
looked gloomy; but she had plenty OF
spirit. and Henri's whole manner was
so detestable that her pride came to
her aid and stilled her fears.
If l am not treated with ordinary
politeness, and allowed to live n
