SHARPENING AXES
FOR DECAPITATION

CHICAGO, Jan. D.-The financial
powers controlling the destinies of the
great railway systems of the nation
are reported to be sharpening their
axes for the necks of the vast army
of travelling passenger and freight
agents and other officials directly en-
gagged in the solicitation of business
for their lines. Should the axes be
bright in the service of official decap
itation. more than 5000 men will fol-
low. and an annual saving of millions
of dollars to the carrying companies
will be the result. The reports of
the intention of the railroads to in
augirate this new reform came as
the result of the recent big deals en-
gineered by j. Pierpont Morgan, Jas
j Hill and others.

POPE COMPLAINED
OF PROPAGANDA

ROME, Jan. 9.-At the reception of
the English pilgrims today the Pope
complained Of the propaganda OF the
Protestant sects which attacks the
papacy. He said even In Rome there
were about 500 pilgrims present, in
Guiding many from the colonies
They were headed by the duke of
Norfolk who read an address in Eng
lish. to which Mgr. Bisiti read the
Popes reply in French. The text Of
the English address has been pub
and has created sensation In polit-
ical circles on account OF the fol.
lowing passage.

popE's ATTITUDE ON THE WAR.
1t Causes Indignation Among the En-.
glishmen Living In Rome.

LONDON, Jan. 9.-It is reported In
Rome that the delay in the reception
OF English pilgrims by the Pope was
due to an exception taken by the Vat.
ican department of state to certain ref.
erences to the war in South Africa in
the address which it was proposed to
present to his holiness. 1t is certain
that the feeling among the British
Catholic colony in Rome III bitter at
the strong pro-Boer sentiments which
actuate the Vatican.
Some time ago the newspaper
LItalie announced on what was pur.
ported to be Vatican authority that
there was no truth in the report that
the Pope had sent a gracious letter
and handsome present to Mr.. Kruger
but neither of the recognized organs
of the Vatican confirmed the denial.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Apprehen-
SION is felt in official circles that the
controversy which has arisen over as

bly, TO intervene. 1t may be stated
on the highest authority that the pres

between the rival American claimants
to the concessions, but he does not pro-
pose to permit the Venezuelan govern
ment to cancel n concession given in
good faith to American citizens and
iorcibly dispossess the concessions

ial decision has been rendered in sup

Under the instructions given him.

Venezuela has passed upon pending
lawsuits which involve the question

GAMBLING DEN
IN CITY'S MIST

| The attention of the police is agar
called to q notorious gambling joint
on Union street which has been run
ming wide open and full blast every
night for the past several months.
The place is controlled by a notorious
gambler who got into disodor last sum
mer for his unsavory connection with
a match race run at Kapiolani Park
ir which the favorite was killed" and
a ton of money burned up
Cards and dice are nightly played
in this den for high stakes, and OF
late there have been many complaints
from men who have been fieeced, as
they say, by crooked work.
The scheme of those connected with
tie nefarious enterprise is to have
suckers steered to the cottage, presum-
ably for a friendly game of draw. Once
there. they are lucky if they can raise
a jingle when they depart.
Plantation employees coming to town
for a good time are eagerly bounced
upon by the Union street sharks. When
a bOokkeeper with a roll looms in sight,
the high cockalOrum of the local Monte
Carlo takes off his coat and aided by
his favOrite pack of cards personally

MALE LELUA AGAIN.
Kaa human School Paper BIakes It's
Second Appearance

NN~S--~ - / = go - 49,
The Male Lehua," the neat little
monthly quarto issued by the pupils of
Kaahumanu school, made its second ap-
pearance yesterday. 1t is well gotten up
geographically, and has many interest
ing features TO commend it. Considera-
be space is devoted to the history of the
American flag, and to what il repre-
sents, and descriptions of the fag-rais!ng
at the school on November q. AS the
proceeds from the sale of the little paper
are TO go to a fund for building a school
gymnasium, there have been generous
contributions from those whom the stu
dents have asked to buy copies. The ed
itorial column contains the following.
The first issue of Male Lehua was a
success. 1t not only brought the Kaahu-
manu- school in a handsome nest egg,
but 1t gave the pupils plenty of good,
useful work to do. This issue has also
brought it's share of work Most of the
children have in one way or another been
doing something for the paper. a boy
in the seventh grade wrote nine hours
during his Thanksgiving vacation, and
we are sorry that space does not permit
us to publish all that he wrote. The
children of the school are doing their
best in language work. Why? Because
the teachers send the good compositions
to the Male Lehua. The best are not
always selected, but the children who
try are likely 70 have their stories print
ed.
We have made beginning this term,
and we are glad there is a bright New
Year before us. "19O2r' May we be able
to do all we have planned for ourselves
and for others during the coming
months!
To those who have sent in contributions
we wish TO express our gratitude, and
to all who have bought copies of our
paper we also wish to extend thanks.
May the Christmas bells ring joyously
for them this year! The Male Lehua
wishes the parents, teachers and friends
of the Kaahumanu school merry, merry
Christmas and happy, happy New
Year.
