THE FATE OF HAWAII
Politicians and Statesmen Are Much
Interested in It.
Natives Want Statehood or Annexa-
tiOn to CaIifOrnin-Others Think
Territorial Government Is
Good Enough.

While Delegate Wilcox, of Hawaii,
IS urging that the archipelago (now
territory be admitted to the union
rs state. the recommendation is
| heard in Some quarters that the is
lands be annexed to California. The
Honolulu Sunday Volcano, for exam
| pie, says
The Volcano, in advocating the an
nexation of Hawaii to California,
does so with the most patriotic mo-
tives. The Hawaii of to-day is carry
ing all of its eggs to market in one
basket We are raising two products
sugar and children. The contract
labor laws having been abolished,
children are hardly a commodity of
commerce. Hawaii under present
conditions to be prosperous must have
stable market for it's sugar. The
market for Hawaiian sugar is Amer
lea. Under the Downes decision of
the United States supreme court con-
gress has the power to levy duty on
any or all goods shipped from ter
ritory of the United States. Now we
do not believe that congress will ever
place a duty upon Hawaiian sugar.
But, believing this, would it not be
presumptuous to say that congress
never will do it? There is no telling
what an Hawaiian Legislature or an
American congress will do.
'Is it not best to be safe in this
matter? Haven't the people of Ha-
waii had enough dearly purchased ex-
perience in assessment sugar stocks
without investing in an assessment
government. BY becoming a part of
California, Hawaii would be forever
free from a tax on its sugar. What
strong argument this is for annex
alton to the Golden STATED"
The semi-official Philadelphia Press,
however, expresses it's belief that

Lightning Strikes Feathers.

The popular idea that feathers are a
nonconductor of electricity, laboring
under which delusion many people
scary about lightning climb under
feather beds, even in summer, was eX-
ploded in very remarkable manner
during the recent heavy thunderstorm
at Chambersburg, Pa. While the
storm was at it's worst bolt of light
ming struck the center of the public
square of a country town and struck
a rooster which was running across
the opening. 1t hit him square on the
head, and, of course, killed him in
stantly, and also burned all the feath-
ers. off his back and sides.

ROMEO USED TO THE CITY
Full Grown Sheep Which Follows
New York Man Around Crowded
Streets Like a Pet hog.

\ young man with a sheep that
followed him like a pet dog attract
ed attention on Broadway, near
Forty-second street, New York city,
the other afternoon. The sheep,
which was full grown, wore collar,
and, although undismayed by the
crowds, seemed to take considerable
interest in his surroundings. The
young man and his novel pet walked
down to Thirty-fourth street and
turned across toward Eighth avenue.
The sheep was evidently used to the
hustle and confusion, and dcftly
picked its way through the mass of
cable ears, carriages and other vehi-
cles with as much unconcern as a dog
would have done. The young man
said:
Il am much attached to Romeo,
who is faithful and accompanies me
wherever | go. | raised him myself,
and | would not part with him tor
anything. | live in a fiat up town,
and the neighbors are used to Romeo
and think almost as much of him as
| do"

TO the middle of May. Second, the po-
litical atmosphere would be damper
on educational work. Finally, the
scheme for governing board with
the president as a member was alb
surd. "a big university" he said,
needs management, and that re-
quires time and care such as any who
would be appointed to the governing,
board of great national university
would not have time to give" The.
latest objector of note to the national
university plan is President Williaml
r. Harper, of the University of Chi
cago, who spoke against it at the re-
cent meeting of the National Educa-
tional association at Detroit; but in
spite of his arguments the associa-
tion passed resolutions favoring its
esta blishment.
The objections of all men and of all
time were anticipated by Washington,

Horse Coughs up Bank Bills.

Elwyn Philips, employed by o. C..
Gardner, baker in Southampton, L.
l., lost $3.50 few days ago, and was
unable to find any trace of the money.
The bills were in roll held together
by an elastic band. One of the bakers
horses had coughing fit the other day
and coughed up the roll of bank notes
intact. The rubber band had held Sc
curely, and the money was returned to
Philips. He believes that he acci.
dentally dropped the roll from his
trousers pocket, and that the horse
picked it up and swallowed it.

fairly with In matters of public health each State
has right to know the exact conditions in other
States and the measures that being taken to stamp
out contagious or epidemic diseases II they exist To
refuse freely and honestly to furnish this information
just cause for others suspicion and rigid quaran-
tine is the only course left open.
And It seems from the from California that
the threat OF such quarantine is an effective way OF
dealing with the suppression of health facts and a
stimulus to sanitary action in the quarters affected IN
this way as the Sacramento Bee suggests Texas is
operating only protector of its own people but
as a sanitary force in California compelling the au'
thorties at San Francisco to clean up and take other
precautionary that should have been rigor'
ousy applied year but that are better late than
If other States want to escape the Texas 1uaran'
tines they need only to act fairly toward and do
their whole duty themselves well as to u.s. Texas
