Gin House Came Near Burning.

About + o'clock last. Sunday
morning the gin house of MIR w.
L. Naninndingham Of Dry Creek
was discovered attire by Hattie
Vnnlandingham II daughter of
Fred NanIandingham, col, who
lives near by. She woke up the
household and ran with her broth
er Ed to the building and break
ing open the door they worked
heroically with others who heard
the alarm and came upon the
scene. 1t was mainly due to this
coIored girl and boy that the
building and contents were saved.
MIR. ", only lost about 100
pounds of seed cotton out of two
bales in the building. The fire
went all over the building even to
the Int room. There is no theory
except rats and matches as to the
origin of the fire. The mill was
run AL day Saturday but the fire
originated on the second floor in
the cotton and could not possibly
have been from the engine. Mr..
V, had no insurance and had the
hre not been extinguished his loss
would have been heavy. He re-
quests us to extend to his neigh
b"rs and friends, both white and
colored, his warmest thanks for
their kind and efficient services in
saving his property.

NATIVES AND HAOLEs TOGETHER
IN PANEL.
Jurors Kick Because They Have Been
Drawn Too Many Times-No More
Separate Juries.

The new jury list for the August term
is out today and there is big kick.
According to men summoned to serve
the list is the same it has been for sew
eral years, with a very few exceptions.
Some of the natives who seemed to
have had 4. e tenure have been let off
for the reason that they do not under
stand the English language thoroughly.
There will not be any general interpret
ing of all cases in the court A few of
the old line haole jurymen have been
left off of this list for the reason that
they are dead and their present ad-
dresses are unknown to the summonlng
officers.
Il think it is an imposition" said
one juror this morning. Every term
L have been summoned to serve. 1t
comes around as regularly as taxes
Now, L have a business. that requires
attention all the time. My absence
from it means loss. 1 am ever willing
to do my part in everything, but l do
not like to be imposed upon"
We'll, perhaps the clerk whose duty
1t is to draw the jury has especial
confidence in your ability integrity and
patriotism, as Governor Dole would
say" was suggested.
"Oh, that's it. But did you ever hear
of w. G. Irwin being drawn on the
Jury? Is not Henry Waterhouse eligi-
BILE to serve? How about George W.
Smith and Charles Mccarthy? There
Sam. Damon and Col. Soper and doz-
en- other good men who have the cash
and the time to spare for jury duty.
just simply can't afford to be drawn
every time; my business will not stand
it,"
The speaker called attention to
bookkeeper who has been drawn so
many times of late years that the road
to the jury box is as familiar to him
as the road home
There is one marked difference in the
list this time There is no foreign, and
native jury listed separately. They
are all run together in one panel. Trial
juries will be drawn in the same way,
so that natives and haoles will sit to-
gether on white cases, and like iuries
will try native cases. The right of chal
longing remains as before.

REVOLUTION MAY FOLLOW
MYSTERIOUS DEPARTURE OF
LEUNG CHI-TSO.
Excellent Chinese Authority Has it
That He Was Called Home to Assist
in Overthrowing the Empress.

A new story has cropped out TODAY
in regard to the sudden departure OF
Leung Chi-tso, the Chinese reforner
Tor the Orient. 1t will be remembered
that after receiving three cablegrams
from san Francisco by the Nippon Ma
ru tuesday morning the refOrmer pack
ed up suddenly and sailed for Japan.
1t is now asserted by reliable Chinese
authority that as soon as Leung Chi-tso
arrives in the Orient, and the leaders of
the reform movement have conferred
with the allied forces, one of the biggest
revolutions in the history of mankind
Will burst forth. There will be a million
young Chinese who have had a taste of
western civilization, allied with the DOW
ers of Europe. America and japan.
against the untutored hosts or the EN-
press Dowager
This struggle has been brewing since
1898; Leung Chi-tsO, who has Just left
mere; DR.. Sun Yet Sen, who is now IN
Japan; Lau Chong, who recently died
in China, and a number of others were
prominent leaders in the movement for
reform. Many leaders were detected by
the Government and beheaded Kwans
Yu Wal, Leung Chi-tso and DR.. sun
were among the number who made
their escape.
1t is now asserted that Ii Hung
Chang. the Gladstone of China is heart
and soul with the reformers and is ex-
erting every effort to establish the new
era. Moreover it is added that one
of the cablegrams received by Leung
Chi-tso Tuesday was from the old dip
lomat Another came from Kwang Yu
Wal at Singapore They told Leung
that the time had come and that he
should return to the Orient at once.
The scheme seems to be to get an un-
derstanding with the allied powers that
the Emperor, Kwang Hsu, will be re-
stored to power upon the suppression
of the Boxer movement. With this
agreement the signal will be given and
the reformers throughout the Empire
will arise as one man and march with
the allies against the Boxers and the
forces of the Empress Dowager. The
reformers are confident of the outcome.
They believe that in very short time
peace will reign again Everything de-
pends upon the acceptance of their
by the powers, for the EN-
peror with them is the king-pin of the
situation.
Money in large quantities has gone
from every Chinese settlement in the
world to aid in the reform revolution.
Much has been sent from Honolulu, and
more is going forward by every steam
er. IT is believed that the fund is now
large enough to maintain a large army
indefinitely.

ITS SUFFERINGS MENTAL.
NAKATANA FINED FOR CRUELTY
TO A MONKEY.
Judge Wilcox Thought the Animal Suf-
fered While Dodging Rubber Balls
The Owner Makes Statement.

Nakatana was fined 500 this morning
by Judge Wilcox for putting a monkey
up for patrons of his establishment to
use as target. 1t was not that the
monkey was hit very often, or by a very
hard missile but the nervous strain the
animal endured while waiting to dodge
the balls was real suffering. The Judge
thought that the monkeys terror be-
tween the shots was enough to make
the case one of cruelty.
Humane Officer Miller was the only
witness for the prosecution. He told
the court how the monkey had been set
before Nakatana's customers at Iwilei
and how the latter at five shots for
nickel, threw rubber balls at the mon
Keys head. If they shot straight the
monkey in ducking his head put the
basket in place so that the ball went
in the basket, and the thrower won a
prize of five cents. This game kept the
mokey quite busy lodging, Miller said
as 1t didn't wait to see if the shots were
exactly right before making it's jump.
He thought the monkey was suffering
very much. In court the little animal
seemed to show the effects of it's treat
ment. Every time Officer Hanrahan
dipped his pen in the ink it got behind
post, and when Deputy Sheriff Chill
lingworth reached out his hand in an
eloquent gesture, it sought the shelter
to be constantly looking for things
to be thrown his way.
Nakatana made a speech in his own
behalf He said that the monkey had
not worked for long al a time. He fed it
at noon, and then gave it two hours to
sleep and dream of rubber balls before
1t took the target stand. At five it had
dinner and another rest of an hour, af-
ter which the rubber balls came its way
again till closing time. He didn't think
it was cruelty at all. The monkey was
a very quick animal, and seldom got
hit, though now and then it failed to get
it's face out of the way in time.
Judge Wilcox suggested that if there
was no suffering in the monkeys occu-
patton, a Japanese boy might be put
up to dodge the balls for a while, but
Nakatana said it wouldn't pay After
the imposition of the fine Nakatana
left the court with his monkey, taking
care to remove the basket from it's back
first. He left it tied on the sidewalk
for few moments and someone releas-
ed it, whereupon it bounded upstairs in
to the courtroom again. The monkey
served to amuse the prisoners down
stairs for day, while it was kept as
evidence

RURAL DELIVERY Of MAIL
HOW COUNTRY DISTRICTS MAY
GET 1T.
Inspector Flint Details the Modus Oper-
andi to be Followed by Applicants
Salary of Carriers.

The application of Laupahoehoe, Ha-
wall, for a rural delivery of mails has
brought up the question of the require
ments of the department in that regard
M. H. Flint, the postoffice inspector,
has collated and furnished the fol-
lowing information for the guidance Of
districts wishing the delivery:
The question of the establishment of
the rural free delivery at any point
throughout the Territory of Hawaii will
not be considered by the Postofiice De-
partment in Washington unless the fol-
lowing instructions are complied with:
Prepare petition addressed to the
First Assistant Postmaster General,
Washington, D. c., requesting the es-
tablishment of the service, have the pc
tition signed by all the proposed pa
irons of the route and then secure the
favorable endorsement of Governor
Dole.
This will be necessary until a dele
gate to Congress is elected in the Ter
ritory.
THE route should not be less than 25
miles in length, and the roads must be
in good condition
"A rough map should be furnished of
the country to be traversed, accom-
panied by general statement as to the
number and avocations of the people to
be served.
Ihe intention of the service is to give
delivery of mail once daily to farming
and rural communities but there must
not be less than 100 families served by
each carrier.
Carriers for the first year receive a
salary of $400, which includes horse
hire, this compensation will probably be
increased the second year to $500.
Patrons of the routes are required to
place receiving boxes at the entrance to
their farms or homes, thereby eXpedit-
ing the delivery of the mail"
