CAMPAIGN AGAINST LIQUOR.
Crusade Intended In Honolulu by w. G.

Lepers-scont and Girl suicided.
lCorresnonlence. J


Honolulu, Dec 19.-IIonolulu IS
about to have a temperance crusade
led by tile Women's Christian TEN
perance union and the Ministers
union. Two Representatives Of the
Women's Christian Temperance
mion. Miss Jessie McKerman and
Miss Ada Nurcutt. are expected here

Is part Of the plan of the crusade 70
diffuse sentiment in favor of the bill
of Congressman Littlefeld, of Maine,
introduced in the house, to absolutely
prohibit the sale Of intoXicants to
the aborigines of the Pacific islands
over which the United States exer-
cises control.
The sum OF $293 i'll silver dollars
was taken to the leper settlement at
Melokai yesterday being 81 for each
leper as Christmas gift from the
people of Honolulu. The money was
the proceeds from the annual concert
for the benefit Of the unfortunates.
It is now thought that the suicide
of the American scout. Frank Ben
nett. was due to remorse on hearing
of the death by poisoning of Miss
Clara Schneider and that her death
was also by suicide, fer which Ben
nett held himself responsible, A
searching investigation by the police
failed to bring forward any proof
that Bennett gave her the poison.

CONTROL OF A SCHOOL.
Philippine Commission to Decide Whether
1t Should BE Held by Church
or the Government.

Manila, Dec. 2S.-The Philippine
commission completed the tariff bill
and mailed it to Washington for APP
prevail. The decision of the commits
sion will be made public Monday
The first question to be dealt with
by the commission effecting an issue
between the church and the United
States government is whether the con
troll of the San Jose medical college
is vested in the government or in
the church. The college was estab-
lished, by bequest iii the seven
teenth century, and the Jesuit order
was given its control. When the au-
thority of the Jesuits i'll the Philip
pines ceased the Spanish government
assumed direction of the college,
and later permitted the dominican or
der to conduct San Jose college as
part of the university of Santo
Tomas. Following the American oe-
cupation Il representative of the peo-
pie indicated that the college, under
the treaty of Paris came into the
control of the United States, and
ought not to be controlled by the
church. The church authorities
claimed the church had full legal
possession. General Otis finally
closed the institution. The first
hearing took place shortly after the
commission arrived Arehbishops
Chappelle and Nosealeda made the
presentations of the church's posi-
ton.
If the commission decides that the
control is vested in the government
litigation is considered probable.

After the conference it was decided
to hold further communication with

.Sex,ere Lake and Ocean Storms

The storms by sea and land of the
late autumn and the beginning of win
ter have been unusual in their violence
and in the sweep Of their effects.
Ocean navigation has been disturbed
to an unnatural degree even for the
time OF year. The biggest and fastest
steamers have been buffeted by ad-
verse winds and waves and some of
the stanchest vessels have been in
serious danger. There has been an I'M
usual number Of disasters on the At
lantic coast with considerable loss of
life. The tempests on the lakes have
been violent and disastrous to vessel
property. In some wrecks the crews
and passengers were lost. In fact, the
entireseason of navigation on the lakes
has been remarkable for the number of
persons drowned in shipwrecks. The
loss of life is greater by 20 per cent
than during any recent previous year.

Stories about misers are sometimes
exaggerated, but 1t has been verified
that a beggarwoman, named Marie
Leret, who has died at Versailles, left
behind her in gold and bonds about
$4,000. The money was found in an
old cupboard in the howell wherein the
deceased had lived for over half CEN
fury. Marie Leret was elghty-three
years old. and was one OF the most
successful mendicants Of the day. She
begged persistently at church doors,
in the streets, at the railway stations,
and received, moreover, substantial
gifts from charitably-disposed per-
sons who had no idea that they were
assisting miser. OF the sum found,
nearly $4,000 in gold fell out of a
long stocking, the remainder being in
various securities, Of which the divi-
dend warrants had not been utilized
for eighteen years.

CHE Vanderbilt Miilions.

The schedule of the property Of the
late Cornelius Vanderbilt, filed In
court last week, is practical illustra-
ton of the earning power Of money in
vested, not in speculative deals, but
in securities of an assured earning
power. The total value Of the proper
ty is about S73,O00,O0O, of which $751;
999, 1867 was invested almost exclusively
in railroad stocks and bonds, while the
remainder, little more. than $2O,OOO,-
900, was placed in real estate, which
did not yield Mr.. Vanderbilt a large
income, as much of this property con-
sisted of his own sumptuous resi-
dences. The bond and stock invest
ments. most of the items in the list
having a market value higher than par,
brought in interest and dividends a
little less than $1,750,O00 income an
nually or about 1928 per cent. Consid-
ering Mr.. Vanderbilts opportunities
for making investments, and that ne
never took risks, the New York Times
argues that return Of 31s per cent
is the most an investor who looks to
the security of his principal can ex-
pect, and that anything above per
cent means a risk. Even at this small
percentage, however, Mr.. vanderbilt
was enjoying an assured income OF
nearly two millions year. The sure
ness of the income must have carried a
sense of comfort and freedom from
apprehension as to the future many
others would like to enjoy.

The newest fashion in New York
sky-scraper construction is to begin at
the top and build downward. 1t seems
impossible, yet that is what a con-
tractor is doing with a bank building
at Wall and William streets. At pres
ent the upper five floors, with granite
walls, are practically finished. The
lower ten are as yet mere skeleton OF
Orders and trusses. The larger blocks
of granite for these lower floors
were not ready on time, so the builder
decided to go ahead on the ones above.
1t is perfectly safe, yet the appear
ance of the structure is so unusual
