that region. All the products are shin

MANY CHINESE IN HAWAII.
Registration Just Completed Shows
That $4,000 Celestials Reside
on the Island
(By Associated Press.)


Honolulu. June 16, via San Francisco.
June 24.-The registration of Chinese in
Hawaii has been finished. The number
registered is about $1,000
This is about a thousand in excess Of
the number shown by the last census to
be in Hawaii, but the difference is ac-
counted for by the fact that many per-
sons whose blood was partially Chinese
took the precaution of registering to in
sure their right to live in the country,
while such We're not put down as Chinese
in the census.
The treasury department has been
asked for ruling as to the standing of
Chinese who are absent from the terri
tory on certificates allowing them to re-
turn after visiting China.
The special court tied by the legis,
lature to hear claims growing out of the
plague fire in Chinatown now has 1884
claims before it, over half of them being
Japanese. The amounts asked for ag-
gregate about 81, 100000.

The section in question is that which
declares that no corporation in Hawaii
shall hold and acquire more than 1000
acres of land.
The sugar company has set forth in
it's pleadings against Atherton that he
already holds more than a good thous-
and acres of land in behalf of the Wa

as only an imitation has been destroyed.
The test. however, is doubtful with ru-
bies. If ruby can be affected by a steel
file or by quartz it is surely not genuine:
but such a test with topez is liable to
injure a valuable stone.
The test for hardness is of no avail
with emeralds, as this stone is not much
harder than quartz, and in addition pos
sesses the quality of cracking easily.
For examining rubes and emeralds the
optical test is best. glass magnifying
about 100 times suff1ces. Every expert
knows that almost all precious stones
have little flaws. Nearly every ruby and
all emeralds have manv defects. which
are so characteristic that the genuine
ness of the stones is readily established.
Such test is very necessary with ru-
bies. because the limitations are very de-
ceivinS. Their color is absolutely dur
able, and often much finer than that &C
the genuine. although it may be stated
that a somewhat yellowish tint is all
ways suspicious.
The only reliable way in which gem
uine rubies can be told from limitations
is bv the minute air bubbles of the lat
ter, which become clearly visible under
the magnifying glass. These are not to
be found in the natural gem; on the 9TH
err hand, the limitations lack certain de-
fects characteristic of the genuine rubies
certain vacuums. whose outlines are
much more indistinct than those of tie

FIRE ON MAIN STREET.

On Thursday night of last week,
about O'Clock, the old Reinhart barn
was discovered in flames.
The band was playing and the mill
tia company drilling on the street at
the time, and large crowd was out.
Everything stopped off short and the
crowd adjourned to the fire without
any formal motion.
The dilapldated old stable made a
big blaze for short time. 1t seemed
to be atire all over at about the same
time. The fire boys reached the scene
soon after the fire started, but could
only hope to keep the flames from
spreading. The two residences next
the stable were soon ablaZe, and but
for the prompt attention of the fire
boys would have burned to the ground.
As it was, the small one on the west
side of the stable, belonging to Mr..
Rickel, was pretty well riddled,
There is but little doubt that the
fire was of incendiary origin.
Mr. Rickel was using the old stable
as sort Of wareroom and had num-
Der of wagons and buggies stored in
it. A few were taken out but num-
Der burned. Mr.. Rickel was insured
to the extent of his loss.
The old barn belonged to Alex Geist
and not to Mr.. Rickel, as reported.
This old trap had been an eyesore for
many years. 1t was one of the origin
inal buildings of the town.
The prompt and efficient work of
the fire company alone saved some
valuable buildings in the block. No
one who visited the fire can say our
fire company is not efficient and well |
worthy of the support of the city.
Col. Dora Herod is deserving of much |
praise for the way he has brought the
up and kept the boys to
gether.

them. Several of the characters were

Fletcher Fogg as Biron was the star
Of the evening. Kate Barrett as the

work of Otto Briley and Olive Van
