of Lockwood against the Ohio River
Railroad Company and Samuel Logan.
The Calf Creek Oil Company a few
years ago leased the property OF Will
lam Irwin, in Peasants county, through
which the Ohio River railroad ran. and
got some good producers. NJ. j.
Peters afterwards leased the Ohio Riv-
er Railroad Companys right of way
through the farm and sold his lease
TO the South Penn Oil Company. Since
the decision OF the Court at Richmond
that the contract under which the
railroad was using the right of way did
not grant the OH or mineral rights. the
suit has been brought to recover thu
value of the oil taken by the South
Penn Company from the right OF way.

The John Copley No. /. located 1,40O
feet north of the big gusher on the
Copley heirs farm, was as much
surprise as the Copley gusher. It is
only forty barrel well in the Gordon.
What made it so surprising was that
it filled up nearly to the top OF the
hole from stray sand, just above the
Gordon. Then it promised to be q
well fully as large as the Copley, The
Gillooly No. 1, another important test
in this field, is well in to the fifth

more.

A COuDle of Shocks.

A Couple of Shocks.
"Wherc have you been, Mr. Rocky"
demanded the boss.
"Oh, SIR" replied Rocky mendacious-
~, my landlady is n most excellent
woman, and she has been so i'll that I
had to stay at home to nurse her"
This excuse went, and the boss turned
away. The following day Rocky felt
like he had sand in his head, and q
headache as long as n rainy Sunday
in the country developed. He staid at
home, sending the exeuse that his
landlady was dead and he had to at
tend the funeral. Later in the day q
woman entered the bookstore and in
quired for Mr.. Rocky.
"The reason I came here" she ex-
planned, lis because l am his landlady,
and not having seen him for q week !
became uneasy and called to inquire
about him."
"His %landlady!" gasped the boss.
"Why, woman, he's attending your f.
neral this very day and has been nurs-
ing you for a week."
It vas a shock to the poor woman to
find she was dead, but a shock Of an
other sort struck Rocky when he came
back to work. 1t was his funeral that
time.-Louisville Times.

II not the author-at least the warm

the commissioners Of valuation.
Intimate friends Of Senator Martin,
who speak from direct knowledge, state
that the exact opposite is the truth.
Senate Martin was not only not an
sdvocat of, bat was opposed to the legis

unfortunate in creating a new Office an
imposing an additional burden on
the treasury. He believed the same OBJ
ject could have been obtained through
the present commissioners Of revenue

SECRETARY HAY WRITES
EXPLAINS POWERS OF COUNCIL
OF STATE.
Body May Pass Appropriations, But
Shall Make No Laws-Routine Mat
ters In the Cabinet.

President Dole received by the Pek-
ing a letter from Secretary Hay ex-
planning his telegram of last week in
regard to the powers and duties of the
Council of State. 1t appears from 1t
that the Council is given complete leg
islative powers in the matter of appro-
priations, but has nothing to do with
laws. The point raised in the meeting
yesterday, as to whether or not the
Council had the power to amend a bill
submitted to the Executive, is not
cleared up by the letter.
The detailed instructions, however,
gives the Cabinet more certain sailing
as there is no longer a doubt as to the
intentions of the central overnment in
respect to the Council of States. 1t is
certain that that body is clothed with
the ordinary legislative powers in the
matter of appropriations, subject to its
own rules.
At the Cabinet meeting this morning
Mr.. Mott-Smith read a letter from Mr..
IIartwell in which it is stated that the
Hawaiian Bill in the House will be
voted upon on April 5.
1t was voted that the Government
lot at the kerosene warehouse be turned
over to the Minister of the Interior for
the purpose of establishing upon 1t a
garbage crematory.
The matter of the application of the
Board of Health for more funds for
the suppression of the bubonic plague
came up and it was decided to recon-
mend to the Council of State the pas
sage of a bill appropriating the sum
of $240,000 for such expenses.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-03-23
BEFORE THE HAOLE CANE
PAUELUA wAIoLoE's VERY LONG
CAREER.
Saw Kamehameha the Great When She
Was a Girl-Gives Her Age as a
Hundred and Eight.

Pauelua Waioloe, the aged Hawaiian
woman who was reported by a sanitary
inspector as being destitute and in need
of immediate assistance, but who is not
gives her age as 10S. She says her
memory runs back to days before the
haole came to Hawaii and when Ka-
mehameha the Great was fighting his
battles to conquer all the islands.
The old woman is still able to talk
with plenty of vigor and has an active
mind. She can walk around and up
and down stairs without any assistance
and seems good for much better rec
ord for longevity than she has now. She
is living with her granddaughter, in a
small house on Kuakini street, where
she has been ever since quarantine pre-
vented her going back to Puma AS it
is, she has become enamored with the
kuakini street place, and says she will
stay there with her granddaughter,
whose name in Kaonohi.
Pauelua Waioloe says that she saw
the great Kamehameha when she was
fifteen years old. He went to Hawaii
to break rock so as to make the rain
| come, says the old woman, and she
/ thinks he had the right idea. Doesn't
the white man break the rocks and dig
to get water, and with success? That
shows that Kamehameha began rightly
anyhow.
1Ile missionaries ndu not come TO ftd-
waii when Pauelua attained years of
discretion. She says she was married
before the haole came. Her memory
! extends back to the days when Kane
/ hameha was in the midst of his career
of conquest that came to a climax when
| he drove his enemies over the Pail. II
| includes the events of five Kameha-
! meha's reigns together with those of all
| their successors, and the revolution that
| put an end to them all. But Pauelua
| does not know very much about his
| toric affairs or politics. Asked if she
was glad the haole came she smiled and
said through an interpreter that. she
| had mashed" two of them.
Kamehameha the Great, died in 1919
| and the missionaries came in 1920, SO
| that the woman's statements that she
saw the great king and that she was
married before the missionaries came
agree with one another, and indicate
that she must be at least 100 years OF
age. Her daughter says she has been
| told that the old woman is 113.
