Mr. F. Kohler, bookkeeper at the Pi-
oneer plantation, Lahaina, accompan-
led by Captain SAKE of, the Euterpe,
came over from Lahaina to Wailuku
last Monday on horseback, being five
hours on the road. They report that
from Lahaina to Olowalu there is but
little damage done to the road. From
Olowalu to the foot of the pail, how
ever, they report the road to be in
very damaged condition. In a number
of places for fifty yards it is full of big
boulders. In other places huge wash
outs are cut through the road.
Across the pali much damage has
been done. In many places vast heaps
of mud have been piled up in the road.
A number of the rock walls on the low
er side of the road have broken loose,
opening lateral gaps several inches
wide for their entire length, the crew
ices being too deep to see the bottom
of them.
From Maalaea Bay to Wailuku there
are number of deep washouts across
the road. Mr.. Kohler states that it
will take from six weeks to two months
to repair the road and that it will cost
several thousand dollars.
From Thursday of last week until
Tuesday of this week the road from
Makawao to Kahului was s/impassable
on account of the mud deposits in the
low places. Wailuku, which gets its
milk supply from Makawao, had to
take it's coffee and tea straight" from
last Thursday till Tuesday of sthis
week.
THE PLANTATIONS.
The destruction of cane and cane
lands on the plantations is not nearly
so much as at first thought. On many
of the plantations some of the cane
was overfiowed and covered with de-
bris and some of the ripe cane was
broken off, but the loss in this direc-
ton will not make any perceptible re-
duction in dividends.
Manager Lowrie of the Hawaiian
Commercial reports that the loss of
cane on that plantation is compara-
lively slight. The principal damage
was done to the old ditch which was
filled with gravel by the wash from
above The new ditch was but little
| injured, only two fumes having
washed out.
/ Olowalu suffered more than any of
the other plantations in the relative
amount of cane actually destroyed.
The Kihei cane was not injured at all,
but was immensely benefited by the
rain. Paia plantation tand those lying
east of it, around to Kipahulu, were
not injured, as they We're on the lee
side of Haleakala from the brunt of

Outside of lao valley but little harm
was done to the Wailuku plantation

amount of flume has been washed
away, however. and will have to be re-
placed before the next sugar making
season begins.
A NARROW ESCAPE
Mr.. Carl Waldeyer, superintendent OF
ley, had close call. He was stopping
at the old Lamb residence in the lac
valley. This residence is below the low
er end of the tunnel and directly in the
path of the new stream. About z

New York, Oct. 16.-The unions
which are agitating throughout the
country for shorter workday have
decided to use a new argument, which
they say they will show by statistics
to be invincible. Hitherto the chief
argument was that il the workday was
shortened there would be more people
employed lNow it is held that there
IS less drinking of stimulants with a
shorter workday and a dimlnution OF
visits to t'e saloon, with better work
as the result. The new argument
started originally in Chicago. Many

rhe rara.Ite OF ElephantIssIs.
Go be continued.)

BY Reuter- telegram it is learned
that the second malarial expedition Of
the Liverpool School of Tropical Medi-
cine has wired home from Bombay, in
Nigeria, the important discovery that
the parasite that causes epephantiasis
has been found, like that which causes
malaria, in the proboscis of the mos
quito. 1t has long been known that
the small worm which produced this
disease of hideous deformity by taking
up its abode in the Emphatic vessels
of the human subject can also live in
the mosquito, but its discovery II the
proboscis of the insect shows that the
bites OF these pests are responsible for
the human affection. The disease is
very prevalent among the natives of
tropical countries and sometimes at
tacks the European residents. 1t is an
interesting fact that this discovery has
been announced almost simultane-
ously with that from Bombay by DR..
Low in England who found the para
site in mosquitoes brought from Aus
tralia, and by Capt James as a result
Of his Investigations in linda.

LINCOLN HELPED HER.
How Nancy Scott, q Runaway Slave,
Found Her Husband
Again.

The death at the Rhode Island state
institution for the insane of Nancy
Scott, aged 20 years, which occurred
during the last week of May. brings
TO memory story of Abraham Lin
coin which has never been published.
Way back in slavery days Nancy
Scott and her husband were slaves on
a Virginia plantation owned by one
of the prominent and wealthy f. f.
VS. of the commonwealth. Nancy
was the trusted housekeeper of the
family. While young she was mar
ried to a young slave on the same
plantation. Her marriage occurred
about the beginning of the civil war,
and after the first few months of
fighting her husband disclosed to her
bis intention of running away and
working his way north, seeking a
means of livelihood; he bade her re-
main where she was until he could
when he became established where he
was sure of supporting her he would
send for her to go to him.
Months went on, says the New York
Sun, until one day a duslSy little one
came to Nancy's arms. When the
baby was a year old Nancy decided to
cry and escape and travel north, hop
fng to hear some news of her baby's
father. She left her cabin one night at
nearly dawn, carrying her little one
In her arms, and passed slowly across
ahe country which was the fighting
arena Of more battles than any other
territory in the south. She was try
ing to make her way to the Potomac
river, and there, at some obscure land
ing, take a boat for Washington.
Such place she reached one hot day
Whenthe boat arrived she went aboard
keeping as much out of the way OF the
passengers as she could There was
a group of men seated on the quar-
terdeck. Among them one whose
lean, gapnt figure and dark, seamy
face somewhat attracted her notice.
When the boat neared Washington
she left her place below among the
freight and timidly went up to the
gangway. The steamer had arrived
at her dock and the passengers were
leaving, but the group in which the
dark, rugged man was seated had not
yet dispersed.
Nancy Scott went forward toward
the gangplank, but before she had
reached it the purser stepped forward
and said, harshly:
Here, you, woman, where are you
going? Where's your ticket?"
Paralyzed with fear she hesitated.
You're runaway niger, and you
can't go ashore; you go below and
Wen see about you later"
But the dark, seamy-faced man, with
the tired eyes, came up then and said,
quietly:
what is the matter?"
The tears streamed down Nancy
SCOTS face as she said she only want

II was one day last winter when the
theater-going public was all expect
ant over the coming of Sir Henry Try
Ing. A gentleman sat In a BARRIERS
chair while the garrulous little tonso-
rial artist fused around. The gentle
man knew the barber quite well; he
also knew his weakness for things the
atrioal and so he was not surprised
when the one-sided conversation
turned to the subject of the stage.

between strokes of the razor.

"Tell me your story" said the dark
man.
In simple words she told him of her
separation from her husband, the
birth of her child, her weeks of weary
waiting and the eyes of the dark man
grew soft with pity.
Turning to the purser, he said:
"Let this woman go ashore" Then
taking her by the arm he walked by
her side until the street was reached.
Giving her some money he told her to
find some decent colored family and
make inquiries for her missing hns-
band
TELL me your name, sir?" begged
Nancy Scott.
my name, my good woman, is
plain Abraham Lincoln" said the
man, and turning away he lifted his
hat "just like 1 was a grand lady"
and left her.
Nancy Scott, with the help of the
pastor of a church for colored people,
found her husband; he had vainly
tried to communicate with her many
times; he had not dared to go in
search of her. He was employed in a
hotel and able to care for his little
family comfortably.
Later he died, and Nancy found en-
ployment with the family of treas
Dry clerk. with whose family she
came north.
