KAHUNAS PRAYING
AGAINST DOLE
They Want Him to be Perman,
entity Incapacitated-An-
other Victim.

Few people who have not lived here
long time know the extent to which
the kahuna superstition of praying peo-
pie to death" or to disease prevails
among the Hawaiians. Just at present
there is general excitement among the
natives over the report that the kahunas
are at work upon Governor Dole and
that the latters illness is attributable to
their prayers. Hawaiians believe implic-
lily in their necromancy, and even some
of the men in the Legislature say that
Governor Dole, Now that the kahunas
are after him, is assuredly doomed to at
least state of permanent incapacity. 1t
was the first plan to pray the Governor
to death, but this was changed when the
task seemed too formidable, and the ka-
hunas went in for an incurable disease.
A kahuna said yesterday that L. A
Thurston would be the next victim, The
magicians want him to become paraIyzed
in the left leg, and those among them
with special facilities of eyesight say the
leg Is beginning to drag already.
John Young was the first white man In
Hawaii upon whom the kahunas piled
their arts-but they never did it but once
On a fine morning a witch-doctor set up
an altar and began praying for the
death Of Young. whereupon the latter put
up an altar of his own and began pray
ing for the death of the kahuna. The
magician was so scared that he succumb-
ed in three days.

Norrie's Rules Popular.

This is curious town. Yesterday
morning when the Advertiser printed
Norrie's health rules the openIn g
chapter of which described a walk and
gin fizz, there was a run on the To-
cal bars for gin fZZes which has not
been equalled in the recent history of
the trade. Cunha reports an extraor-
binary demand. The combination of
sauerbrunnen and white Wine which
Norrle said his health required at
lunch time seemed to excite the thirst
or the convivial set, and at the Grill
twelve separate parties We're served
with that unusual mixture at noon
Evidently Norrie's rules will set the
pace that kills all over town.

COMMISSIONERS
FROM WASHINGTON
The Employees Appointed Here
Prior to June ID, 1900,
Are Not Affected.

William A. Rodenberg, president Of
the United States Civil Service Com
mission, and Chief Examiner Server,
who arrived on the Picking, from
Washington, d. c., as stated in yes
terday's Advertiser, to establish civil
service in the Hawaiian Islands, will
begin their work in a very short time.
large number of clerks and employees
in the postoffice, customs and Internal
revenue departments, will have to I'M
dergo examinations to fill the positions
which they already occupy.
When asked whether the employees
of departments now under federal jur
isdiction who had held their positions
prior to. June IA, 1900, would have to
take the examinations, Mr. Rodenberg
replied that they would not. This is
one of the questions which customs
house employees and guards, together
with the old posoftice employees have
been asking of federal officials for
some time past. but to which they new
er received a satisfactory reply. Com
missioner Rodenberg's statement set
examinations will have 10 be taken by
all clerks and employees appointed at
any time since this day last year, when
the Republic of Hawaii became the
Territory of Hawaii.
In the apportionment of department
al work. which consists of appoint
ments to various departments In
Washington, d. c., Mr.. Rodenberg
stated that Hawaii was entitled to fif-
teen positions in the Government
Printing Office at Washington.
This will afford an excellent oppor-
tunity for some of your ambitious
young men engaged in that Grass of
trade to take these examinations and
Washington said the commissioner.
There they will have ample opportu-
mites to study the American govern
ment from practical standpoint. APP
plication blanks for these positions, as
well as in all other branches which
come under our jurisdiction will be
available at the postoffice in a few
days. An examining board will be To-
Gated in this city, and two others on
other islands, possibly Maui and Ha-
waii.'
Both gentlemen are delighted with
Hawaii, it being their first visit to the
Islands. Even the sultry weather of
yesterday did not deprive them of the
pleasure of taking in some of the sights
of the city. In the morning they visit
ed the Circuit Courts. For the present
they are domiciled at the Hawaiian
Hotel
Mr., Rodenberg announced that ].
W. Irwin, superintendent or the free
delivery system, with headquarters at
San Francisco, will be here IN July to
establish the clerk-carrier department
Mr.. Rodenberg asked in this connec-
ton whether the houses were all num-
bered as yet. This, he stated, was a
prerequisite to the establishment of
such a service
