HIGH SHERIFF BROWN WANTS
PERFECT MEN AS POLICEMEN
Candidates for Police Honors Will be OBLIGED
10 Go Into Long and Careful
Training

A T LAST High Sheriff Brown has q
"A weight off his mind. The rules
and regulations for guidance OF
the police department have been print
ed, and the many sleepless nights spent
by Sheriff Brown have borne fruit in
the shape of neat little book in
sheepskin cover. That it will cause
much uneasiness on the part of those
who are already on the force and find
that they do not come UP to his ideal
OF policemen, and cause aspirants for
the honor of wearing a star on their
left breast, to tear their hair in des-
pair, does not affect Brown.
He has only done his duty: what
more can man do?
1t the new policemen are able to pass
the required standard woe be it unto
any man who attempts to protest when
his presence is wanted at the station.
The candidate must be five feet, ten
inches in height, and that, too in his
stocking feet. 1t will be well for the
applicant to remember that point. and
also that he is expected to ge gen
orally intelligent"
1t is evident that no one will be per-
mitted to join the force if he is a
married man, for the rules distinctly
say that He shall devote his whole
time and attention to the business of
the department" Yet even this may

some husbands may look with favor
upon calling that will give them a
| good excuse to remain out late al
nights. This would certainly be bet
ter than the old excuse about the
Club
But after devoting his whole time
to the ''perfesh'' the poor policeman S
trouble is not over yet, for in the next
article it says that "a policeman is
considered ALWAYS on duty Mr.
Brown is paving the way for a strike
among his men for shorter hours
But woe betide the man who joins
the department with any hirsute orna-
mentation upon his face. If he ap-
proaches Brown in the proper manner
he may be able to procure permission
to wear moustache, but under no
circumstances would he be permitted
to wear a beard. In fine weather the
shoes must be carefully polished, but
in wet weather he can obtain a little
comfort, and put on his old boots
But all credit is due to the high
sheriff, for if he attains his object Ho-
nolulu will have a police force that any
city might be proud of; and if, when
passing we forget and come to the
position of attention" with one hand

prominent people in town in regard to

the affair will be so arranged that diff

investigate the various aspects of the ex.
hibition, SO that the feat of Papa Ita

that all thoughts of deception or hypno-
tism may be dispelled. I myself would
like to be the committee on hypnotism
as am specially fitted for it, having had
considerable experience in that depart
ment. Lord Douglas, Mr.. Bidwel and
myself will, if Papa tia is. willing, walk
over the heated stones after Papa TIA
has led the way"
The reporter interviewed Mr.. Douglas
in regard to the matter Of following Pa
pa tia on his white-hot pathway. Mr..
Douglas was found at home in a modest
but comfortable room on Fort street, on
the same premises with Charles F. Fftz-
Patrick Hall.
He was enjoying an afternoon cigar in
company with couple of friends His
coat was off on account of the heat of
the day, and he looked altogether COM
Portable and at ease. Lords-at least the
lords in novels-are never discovered
looking comfortable. The very fact of
their having to look the lord every min
ute of their lives forbids their being COM
Portable.
After Mr.. Halls description of Doug
las, the reporter half expected that he
would be really rude and do the freezing
act to the satisfaction of the most exact
ing. But nothing of the kind occurred
Mr.. Douglas, to be sure, was not over
come with joy at being disturbed in his
conversation, but, nevertheless, he did
anything but the refrigerating act.
He laughed heartily when asked If he
intended walking over the white-heated

FROM THE MAUI NEWS.

The Introduction of negro labor on
the Island offers a possible solution
of the labor troubles. But good judg-
ment must be used in the matter.
They should only be brought in limit
ed numbers at first, and every planta-
ton which uses them should also Sc
cure the services of a white man from
the South who knows and understands
negroes, and leave their management
largely in his hands. They are not to
be handled as are Chinese and jap
aneSe, and any manager who is not
familiar with them will not be able
must be remembered that they are
American citizens, and are familiar
with the higher forms of civilization
1t must also be remembered that as
hands, and they instinctively look up
on their employers as their friends
If they are met and treated fairly and
receive advances to enable them to
live till they become self-supporting
they win form a valuable element of
Island labor. and will come to the
Islands by thousands. The better ele-
ment of them will not come at first,
but if they find it all right here, the
very best class of them will come. All
that is then to be feared is a STAN
pede from the South to the Islands.

FROM THE HILo HERALD.

L
The introduction of negroes in
large bodies into Hawaii may be a
good thing for the planters, but if we
are to judge by the reports from the
States they are a class best left in
their native lair. Some years ago
when the subject was being agitated
it was understood that none but mar
ried couples with families would be
imported but it seems that the lot
for Maui is composed principally of
young single men. Nearly every
State in the South has had its lynch
ing bees in which a, negro has been
the central figure. The lynchings
: have been in some Instances as revolt
ing as the crimes committed These
occurrences have not had the exact
effect desired-that of toning down
the morals in the quarters; rather has
it had the effect of driving the more
dangerous ones to other localities and
where some of them have met the
fate their depraved morals and I'M
governable passions brought upon
them. Lynchings of negroes for UNI
mentfonable crimes have become pop
ular as far west as Colorado, and if
the exodus of negroes from the South
to Hawaii becomes general the popu-
larity of these bees may extend even
to the isles of the Pacific This Island
needs laborers in order that the lead
ing industry may continue, but it
should not be maintained at the ex-
pense of others. It must never be

The Determination of Death by N-Ravs.

The Determination of Death by X-Rays.
The subject of the definite deter
mination of death is one of great i'm
portance, and new tests are from timo
to time submitted The latest one
suggested, as we learn from the
american X-Ray Journal for April,
which quotes the passage without,
however, stating its authority, is that
of Professor Ottolenghi, Of the Uni
versity Of Siena. The professor is
said to have discovered that, while it
is easy to apply the rays to the lungs
of person who is alive or in a trance,
it is extremely diff cult, indeed practi-
cally impossible, to apply them to the
lungs of person actually dead"
The reason is that some intervening
obstical prevents the rays from enter
ing the body. He has repeatedly
made test of this kind, always with
the same result. Professor Ottolenghi
therefore suggests that, as this test
can be easily made by any physician
it should in the future be employed
in all cases where there exists doubt
of death. It seems to us that the
value of this test could be easily settled
by experiment, and that its further
investigation is desirable. -NelU York

LETTER TO o. T. WILLARD,
BARTON, VT.


Dear Sir: Most painters insist that lead ard
oil is good for three years; but they also lin
sist that it needs going over again il three
years. It is as much as to say it's a good job
of paint that lasts three years.
Which is true; and better that lasts six
years. Lead and oil lasts three; Devoe lead
and zinc lasts six.
When paint begins to let in water, then is
the time to repaint. 1t may be one year; it
may be ten. Lead and oil lasts three, if we'll
put on; lead and zinc lasts six if ground to-
gether and well put But painters are
better acquainted with lead than with zinc
Zinc IS newer.
Devoe lead and zinc is the proper mixture
ground in oil by machinery; same proportions
as used by the U. S. Government.
Yours truly,
81 F. w. DEvoE & Co.

Great Patent Nation.

The United States grants p, 900 pat
ents per annum, or nearly as many as
all the rest of the world. England
grants 5000 per annum and France
and Germany each about 1000, and
such countries as Canada, Australia,
Austria, Italy and Russia grant about
1900 each. An interesting and hope
full fact is that more patents are grant
ed in proportion to the applications
than ever before in the history of the
patent Office, showing that mechanical
genius is not chasing as many rain
bows as formerly. American inven-
tive genius is shown in all lines of in
vention, but it greatly predominates
in machinery for manufacturing,
transportation and labor saving. Eu-
rope and the orient have begun to
find that without American industries
they would be unable to go ahead

Saved by Masonry.

Edwin FL. Conger, who has just re-
turned to his old home in Iowa for
visit after his arduous duties as min
lister to China, owes his life to Free
Masonry, and behind this fact lies the
story of why he became Mason.
Mr.. Conger enlisted in the Union
army at the age of 10. His regiment
was one of the Illinois regiments, and
after being filed it was hurried to the
front as rapidly as possible. In the
forced march across Tennessee the
heat was intense and many of the new
men dropped out. Conger was among
the number overcome. He was told
that he might go to the ambulance,
but declined the privilege, and after
resting himself short time resumed
his march.
Finally, however, weak and deliri
Gus with fever, he was left by the
wayside in the enemy's country, with
only comrade who was to wait for
the end and then reJoIn the regiment.
With scarcely anything to eat and
no shelter the situation was appalling
Finally plan suggested itself to the
watcher. He went as quickly as pos
sible to the nearest village, and, ap
preaching the first group of men, said:
81 am a Mason; is there Mason
among you or near at hand?'
One of the most prominent citizens
of the village stepped forward and
warmly greeted him.
He was told of the apparently dying
soldiers .condition and promised aid
at once. Conger was then removed
to the village and given the best of
treatment. In short time he was
nursed back to life and sent home to
gain his strength, and one of his first
acts as soon as he was old enough was
to apply for admission into the
Masonic fraternity.

THE SUCCESS OF CARNEGIE.

One of the secrets of Carlegie's
great success lies in the fact that he
has always surrounded himself with
young men. Youth combined with
brains has always received recognition
at his hands. He has been on the
lookout to discover this combination.
In his steel company there were some
thirty partners chosen by Carnegie,
promoted and advanced by him to
partnerships. He made them all
wealthy. None of them is worth less
than a million. The oldest one of the
the shrewdest of them all, is SO. An
exchange names those most promi-
nent as follows: Schwab's power is
greater than that of any monarch in
the world. He controls fleets of ships,
thousands of miles of railway, hun
dreds of mines, more than 10000 coke
ovens. He has in his employ and at
his direction half million men, and
they, with their families, make up
community of four millions of people
more than the entire population of
the state Of Missouri. His advance
ment was dazzling. At Is he was
driving stakes in surveying party;
at % he was general manager OF the
Homestead plant. w. E. Corey, who
is next to Schwab, is SO years old.
Fifteen years ago he was water boy
at Homestead. Then he became a
clerk, an assistant uperintendent,
then put in charge Of the Harvey
process, which he improved and was
made a partner and a millionaire.
A. r. Peacock was a linen salesman
eleven years ago. He forced Carnegie's
attention to himself by his persever-
ance, went to work for the company
in an humble position, was made chief
salesman and is now partner and
worth from $4,000, 900 to 81 900, 900
L. G. Phipps lived down the antipathy
of Carnegie to epotism-Phipps is
remotely connected with the great
magnate of that name, made himself
a reputation for his business Judgment
and at the age of 80 had become a
partner with his millions. James
Galley the only college man among his
partners is Al years old, the chemist
of the company and the chief adviser
Of Carnegie in his library building.
He started in fifteen years ago in the
chemical department and has money
enough now to endow colleges him
SELF Thomas Morrison was a me-
chanic thirteen years ago; he is now
general superintendent and several
times a millionaire. P. T. Berg, a
Swede, who could not speak English
went to work for the company as a
Iaborer in 1880. He is now chief en-
gineer of the company and has more
patents to his credit than any other
man in the world. He is also Il and
had his millions some years ago

The New Constitution.

The latest production of the Her
reshoffs, the cup defender, Consti-
tuition, has defeated the Boston boat
and the old defender, Columbia.
This new boat is wonder and as long
as the Herreshoffs live to build the
defenders there is little possibility of
an English boat regaining the cup.
