LESS BEEF

High Price onMaui

MEAT RATIONS CUT
DOWN ONE-HALF
Whoopins Cough in Maui-The
County Seat Question
Dispensary Bill.

MAUI, April 20.-The old law of de-
mand and supply is limiting the rise
in the price of beef. One of the Ma
kawao butchers states that when the
price of beef was low he used to sell
900 pounds weekly, but that now he
retails only four and five hundred
pounds. 1t is the same in Wailuku, and
probably all over Maui. The butcher
has sale for but about one-half the
amount of beef that he formerly sold
at lower prices. Many customers have
ceased to purchase beer at 10 cents
per pound, and thus the demand is di-
minished. Butchers state that to
raise the price still higher will not
increase the profits of the cattle own
err but will only further diminish the
demand.
A postoffice is TO be established. or
rather, re-established, at Waiakoa,
Kula. C. E. Copeland Will be the new
postmaster.
Whooping cought is again SHOW
itself in various localities or Makawao
district.
During the week petitions to the
Legislature have been in circulation all
over Maui praying that the county
seat be not Lahaina, as mentioned in
the county bill, but Wanuku, mas
much as the latter town is larger and
is nearer the center of the population
Of the proposed county.

structed two pretentious cottages near

Public opinion of Maui is seemingly
against the dispensary bill, for accord

it was four precincts against two, VIZ

THE CREMATION BILL
Brilliant Specimen of Ind. Rep. Home
Rule statssmanship.

The following bill to punish man
who permits his own cremation with
out giving previous notice in writing
to the Board of Health, is a fair speci-
ment of the sort of legislation the
Home Rulers are trying to achieve:
An Act to Prohibit the Cremating Of
Deceased Persons Without the Con-
sent of the Family of the Deceased.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the
Territory of Hawaii:
Section l. The cremating of any de-
ceased person in the Territory of Ha-
wall is hereby strictly prohibited ex-
cept at the request of the family of
the deceased.
Section 2. If any person wishes TO be
cremated or the family of any deceas-
ed, notice must be given to the Board
of Health in writing. But the expense
must be borne by the person or family
who so desires to be cremated.
Section 3. That all rules made by the
Board of Health in reference to crema-
ton is hereby abolished.
Section 4. And if any person or per-
sons fail to comply with the provisions
Of this Act, he or they shall be guilty
of a crime, and if proved guilty shall
be imprisoned not more than one year
nor less than six months.
Section s. This Act shall take effect
on and after the date Of its approval.

SCHILLING Is
HEARD FROM
The Paper Suit Man Who
Visited Honolulu in
June, 1898.

The Japan Gazette contains the fol-
lowing article about Geo. NJ. Schilling,
the round-the-w world pedestrian who
made a call at Honolulu three years
ago:
George NJ. Schilling, the armed
pedestrian, who is walking round the
world for wager that during the tour
he will neither beg, borrow, nor
spend and will return to New York,
from whence he set out in a paper suit,
with $4,000 (gold), arrived in Hongkong
on the 18th inst, by the S. S. Glenfal
loch, and at once registered himself at
the United States Consulate. He call
ed at this office on the 18th inst, and
handed US a pamphlet which he said
he was selling to obtain the means to
carry him onward, and enable him to
win the wager he had made before he
set out on his underworld walk. He
produced several books Con the pages of
which were the Consulate and Munich
pal seals of the various towns through
which he had traYelled), as document
airy evidence of his bona fides. He said
he left New York, accompanied by his
dog, King II, on 3rd August, 1897, went
across the American Continent and
shipped at Vancouver for Australia on
3rd June, 1898. Arriving at Sydney on
25th August, 1898 he travelled through
Southern Australia, New Zealand, Tas-
mania, and the other colonies, accom-
pishing the unprecedented feat of hav-
/ ing walking 10 900 miles in years. Leav-
/ ing Freemantle on oath August, 1900 he
shipped for Ceylon. From Colombo he
walked to Handy and returned by train.
J A few days afterwards he took a steam
er for Calcutta, and walked across In
dia to Bombay. Returning by train he
left India by boat for Rangoon on 8th
January last, and set out for Mandalay.
reaching there on 18th February. 1t was
his intention to proceed to Bhamo, and.
crossing the Chinese frontier, walk
through the Yunnan province. but on
arriving at the Upper Burma Boundary
he was advised that it was useless to
proceed any further in consequence Of
the disturbed state of the country. The
local authorities at Bhamo refused to
allow him to enter the interior, and
ISchiling, finding his attempts to pro-
fceed through China by that route al
together frustrated, determined TO re-
turn to Rangoon and ship for the
Straits. After. remaining in Singapore
a few days he took the GlenfalIoch for

to Japan and thus complete his tour OF

Altogether. Schilling says, he has walk
ed % 900 miles, and judging from the
portraits he has shown US, his physlcaI
condition has been very little affected
by his pedestrian feat. He tells US that
he was laid up with dysentery IN Kan

his faithful dog, King IL, at Bombay
but beyond that he is none the worse
for his adventurous tour He says that
if he can walk through China from
Shanghai he viii do so after Japan has
been visited and then proceeding to

through the British Isles. Schilllng is
hopeful that some local gentlemen WI
take an interest in his feat, and as

can lecture on his tour, and obtain the
means to carry him further on his

FOR OLD AGE

To the old, as to babies, the
even balance of health is more
important than anything else
in the world, The possible
health, in age, is not high and
strong; it IS only even.
There is no end, but death,
to the trouble that comes of
its loss.
1t ought to be watched like
a baby's.
Their future is short; but oh
how it turns on comfort on
whether the wrinkles are
wrinkles of pain or Of long Sc
rene enjoyment!
SCOTS emulsion of cod-liver
oil-for very old and very
young in different ways-is
the food to secure this even
condition of health.
Wen send you a little to Try, if you like.

CAPITALIZATION is HUGE

Trenton, N. j., April THE United

noon filed with the secretary of state
articles amending it's charter and in
creasing it's capital stock to S1,100,-
100000. The states fees for filing the
papers was 100000. The original ar
ticles, filed some time ago, are amend
ed for the purpose of taking advan-
tage of the act passed by recent leg
islature. Originally the corporation
could mot mortgage or pledge its real
property or any of stock of any other
company except by an affirmative vote
of the owners of two-thirds of the cap-
ital stock. Under the amended char
ter it is necessary to have only an af-
firmative vote of two-thirds of the
stock represented in person or by

He is Christian socialist of the

attempt to restrict employment to
union men only. Union cards will be

appointed at each colliery to see that
men without cards are not employed
1t is possible the operators will object,
as there are not enough workmen,
union and non-union, to fill all the
places. There are several thousand
non-union men in the region, and it is
sought to either force them into the
union or out of the mines. If the op-
