Native Hawaiian members of the
Legislature want very much to aid
their districts in acquiring public
works, and some of them ask for large
appropriations. Their only chance to
get these favors, in the present state of
Hawaiian finances, is to see that the
treasury is not emptied beforehand to
meet extraordinary expenses, SUCH as
unadjudicated fire claims, royal pen
sions and the like. The Home Rule
program calls for more money than the
aggregate of taxes can supply; and it
is not yet decided whether some of the
new schemes for revenue, notably the
income tax law, would prove constitu-
tional. The Legislature will do better
by those who elected it and by the pub
lie generally if it restraints it's impulse
to remove money from the treasury in
large blocks to satisfy private claim
ants. The general public, which pays
the taxes, should have the first benefit
of their expenditure.

Some enterprising photographer, with
one of those old-fashioned galleries on
wheels, might make big bag of coin
by travelling among the Chinese of Ho
nolulu and Oahu and taking their pic
lures for registration. AS things are
now arranged the Chinese complain Of
the price for photographs and of the
number they must order; While others,
particularly day laborers, who are
'docked" for lost time, and smallfooted
women who never leave home, do not
want to visit a big gallery and wait
their turn. Consequently $4,000 Chinese
remain unregistered and unphotograph-
ed, yet all must sooner or later conform
to the law.

Francis Murphy was not long in get
ting to work when he reached New
Zealand and the papers there report
good prospects for him. Many years
ago one of his converts, Dick Booth,
who had been barber at Ithaca, n. Y,
reused all Australia with a blue ribbon
crusade, and going thence to London,
won thousands of converts there.
Since then a new generation has grown
up in the antipodes and Mr. Murphy
will have a fresh audience to hear his
appeal. 1t would not be surprising if,
as result of his labors, the South Sea
commemorative should have an enthus-
iastic temperance revival

HOLLOWE'EN LOVE TESTS

The most common and most pecu'
liar ways of making matrimonial lore
casts is by means of roasting nuts
Two nuts are placed side by side, and
named for the person trying and the
preferred lover or 'loveress.' II they
burn quickly and brightly it means
sincerity and affection; cracking and
jumping away means Inconsistency; II
they burn together happy marriage
is indicated. Another trial is to name
two nuts and then throw them into
the fire; if one of the nuts should
burst. the person for whom 1t is
named is not sincerely affectionate;
hut if it is reduced to ashes a warm
feeling is betokened. PerpleXlty
comes to the poor maiden whose two
nuts both burn to ashes, unless her
feelings help her to give the prefer

FAVORlTE NIGHT WITH THE
YOUNG FOLKS.

Two hazel nuts | threw into fame
And to each nut | gave a sweetheart
name;
This with the loudest bounce was sore
amazed,

blazed
As ba2ed the nut. so may thy pas
sion grow,
For twas thy nut that did 50 brightly
glow"
The night before All Saints Day
called All Hallow Even, or Hallow-
cen, is perhaps more remarkable
than any other, according to ancient
belief and modern custom, and for the
peculiar observances with which it
was so long observed. The leading
idea respecting Halloween, says an
old English writer, is. that it is the
time, of all others. when supernatural
influences prevail 1t is the night set
apart for a universal walking abroad
of spirits and all sorts of beings not
of this world; the night of sure divina,
ton, when fortune tellers of the
earthly are discounted Burns said:
1T is thought to be night when
witches, devils and other mischief
making beings are all abroad on their
hanetul midnight errands," and from
this belief has probably grown up the
modern custom among the young
folks of mischief making, gate break
ing. etc
With maids 1t is favorite night in
which to discover their future hus'
bands, one authority on ancient Gus.

alone to a looking glass, eat an apple

ion will be seen in the glass peeping
over your shoulder"
We learn from Burns again that
burning of nuts is a favorite charm
as is told in the verse at the begin
ming of this article.
Another talisman is the pulling of
kali or cabbage stalks. The boy and
girl go out of doors, hand in hand,
with their eyes shut tight. and pail
the first stalk in the garden they come
to. They then return to the tireside
and examine their prizes. According
as their stalk is found big or little,
straight or crooked, so is the future
wife or husband of the person who
pulled it to be, and the quantity Of
earth clinging to the root is supposed
to denote the amount of their fortune.
Anoher divinatiOn is called the
three dishes. One is filled with pure
water one with dirty water, and one
is left empty. These are arranged in
row before the fire. and the parties
approach blindfolded, dipping their
left hands into one of these dishes. If
they dip into the one with clean water
they will marry maid If in the
dirty water, widow, and if in the
empty one, they will not marry at all,
Among the superstitiOus rites of
Halloween, says the author of Tradi-
tons of Edinburg. knotting the gar
ter holds a distinguished place. 1t is
performed by young ladies', as a di-
vination to discover their future part
ners in life. The left leg garter is
taken and three knots are tied in it.
During the time of lnottng, the per
son must not speak to any one, other
wise the charm will fail. She also
repeats the following rhyme:
This knot. this knot this knot | knit
To see the thing neer saw yet
TO see my love in his array,
And what he walks in every day,
And what his occupation be,
This night in my sleep may see;
And if my love be clad in green,
His love for me is we'll seen,
And if my love is clad in gray,
His love for me is far away;
And if my love is clad in blue,
His love for me is very true.
After all the knots are tied, the
garter is placed under her pillow, and
it was believed that her husband to
be would appear to her in her dreams,
These are but few of the well
known customs Of this night, the 3lst
of October Nearly every boy and
girl knows a hundred more.

SUGGESTIONS FOR HALLOWEEN

Have one of the young ladies who
knows a little palmistry be the witch
of the evening. A short, bright-hued
skirt, a gay plaid shawl crossed over
her shoulders, a scarf bound about her
head, will make very striking cos
tune, and, with the aid Of a little
paint and powder, quite an effective
disguise. If she is enough acquainted
with the guests to give some personal
history she can produce some very
telling fortunes.
After the witch has exhausted her
ingenuity as a palmist let her offer
to disclose the name of the future
bride or groom of each one present,
by means of the fairy mirror. The
room she uses should be dimly
lighted. She writes the name on a
mirror with French chalk, rubs 1t Off
lightly with silk handkerchief, calls
in the person for whom the name is
written and requests him to breathe
on the glass. When he does so the
name will appear
For souvenirs have water-COior
sketches suggestive of HallOwe'en
If the cards are cut to represent
leaves the effect is pretty. AS a final
gift to your guests, give them at part
ing the half of an egg-shell filed with
salt, with the injunction that ii must
be eaten Just before retiring, and who
ever the person dreams of will be his
future bride.

Especial to News and ObserverD

Newbern, N. c., June 2S.-A drowning
in which four lives were lost occurred
in Neuse river at this place this after
neon. The accident has cast a gloom
over our city and in many homes there
is weeping and lamentation
The names of the dead are:
WILLIAM e. CLARKE.

The latter was about fifteen years old

can be gathered in a time of so much
distress and excitement are as follows:
Late this afternoon, Mr. Clarke, in
company with the drowned children
and his young son George, went out on
the river for a row. The boat upset
was the property of Mr.. Clarke and had
been used for similar excursions quite
frequently in the past, no danger there
fore was apprehended,
