to use it, and if he means that, he
means possible murder in his heart.
In law-abiding community such as
this no man need carry a pistol; in
deed the law strictly forbids the car
rying of concealed weapons, and any
one carrying a pistol in his hip pocket
is breaking the law.
That death did not result from last
nights shooting is no palliation of
the use of the pistol. That the young
man who was shot struck the pistol
wielder is no palliation of the use Of
the pistol. The law would have pun
ished the young man, if it had been
invoked. The taking of the law into
ones own hands and attempting to
punish by death or manning what
the law would punish by fine or i'm
prisonment is a very heavy respon-
sibility indeed.
The community of Honolulu has
been terribly shocked at this occur
renee. 1t is bringing phase of life
into this quiet and orderly society Of
ours which it deprecates deeply. The
whole city feels that an outrage has
been committed. The newspaper fra
ternity feel it especially. 1t casts a
stigma upon a profession, which up
to now has been composed of orderly
and law-abiding men.
The habitual use of the pistol low
ers the moral tone of any community.
Its use by those who occupy positions
of trust and honor make it more low
ering. Those who should set the ex-
ample of law-abiding citizenship, who
criticize others if they break the law,
should be the last to violate it.

MISS ACKERMAN'S
EXPERIENCE THERE
Lecture Last Night on a Horse
back Trip Given at the
Y. IA. c. A.

"a m lSS JESSIE ACKERMAN'S lee
IVl ture on Eight Hundred Miles
I'VE Through Iceland on Horseback"
was well attended last night,
the Young Mems Christian Association
hall being crowded. Miss Ackerman
spoke informally, interspersing witty
and epigrammatic observations upon
people and things as she sees them,
and throughout her lecture, which oc-
cupied an hour and half, she kept
the close attention of her audience.
She began with an apology and an
expression of regret that, through lack
of lantern apparatus of the proper size,
she could not exhibit her rare photo
graphic slides of views in Iceland in
ILLUSTRATION. 1t is unfortunate that
there is not an apparatus of the proper
size in town, as Miss Murcutt's views
of the great Passion Play, taken dur
ing the last summer drama in Ober-
amrnergau, which were to have been
exhibited next Thursday evening, will
also have to be omitted. Miss Ack-
erman, however, announced that Miss
Murcutt's lecture would be given with
out the views, by request of those in
terested in the subject but that on ac-
count of Thursday evening being the
date of the concert at the opera house
the lecture would be given on Monday
evening Arstead at the Young Mems S
christian Association hall at o'clock.
The lecturer gave an interesting de-
scription of the people of Iceland and
of their ways of living in the north
land, the manner and hardship of tray-
el, the marvellous beauty of the coun-
try, the peculiar customs, dress and
social life of the northland people.
She said she went into Iceland at the
special invitation of the officials there,
las a representative of the Woman S
Christian Temperance Union, and that
in her journeying she was accompan-
led by two other women, one a prim
Quakeress who had never made a joke
in her life, and the other an always
girl. The first difficulty
they met with was that of making
themselves understood, although the
first thing they saw upon landing was
la sign, English is spoke here over
little shop. Further inland they found
the Islanders we'll versed in English
and other languages, and surprisingly
well educated. Miss Ackerman said
that in all her travels during the past
twelve years she has never found a
people so thoroughly content as the
Icelanders. She spoke of their equal
code of morals for men and women and
tits strict observance in social life. She
ascribed the reason of the domestic
lcontentment and happiness to simple
ireason-that the husbands and wives
were acquainted with each other. a
thing they had had time to become be-

AGENT SAYS
HE'S INSURED
r. Burns Tries To
Hold Holt To
Policy.

1t is not often that a man has his
life insured for the paltry sum of $4,000
when he doesn't want it and has paid
nothing on the premium. Yet accord
ing to the protestations of I. r. Burns,
agent of the Provident Saving and Life
Assurance Association, George H. Holt
is so insured. Judge Dickey of the
Second District Court, however, is of
the opinion and has so decided in the
suit brought against Holt by Burns
that as Holt has paid nothing on the
policy supplied by the Provident Saw
ing and Life Assurance Association
through Burns, he cannot be held liable
for the payment of the policy if he sees
fit to reject it. According to Mr.. Burns
statements in court. If Mr.. Holt should
die today his company would be liable
for the 100000
Some time ago Holt agreed to take
out $4,000 insurance policy on his
life and was examined by Dr. Herbert,
the examining physician of the associ-
alton. Burns sent to the home office
for the policy and upon it's arrival sent
the same to Holt by collector named
Lockwood. Holt had by this time
waxed cold in the matter of insurance
anu TeIuSeu IO ldhe H. lut COL
lector threw the document at Holt's
feet and told him to pick it up. Mr..
Holt disdained to stoop and Mr.. Lock
wood finally took it back to Mr.. Burns
office. Suit was brought and the at
tempt was made to have Holt disgorge
the amount Of the premium which he
had promised to pay. He said he
didn't want it. Judge Dickey held that
as no premium had been paid on the
policy before it's presentation to him he
was not liable for any payments there
on. Agent Burns said if Holt died be-
fore he could have the policy cancelled
in the home Office, the company would
owe the $4,000 in spite of the non
payment of the premium.

LEPER NO LONGER HERE.
Authorities Sent Pratt Back to the
Coast ION Recent Steamer.

Tt is reported that Pratt, the leper
who came to these shores In the hope
that he would find home on Molo-
kai, a couple of months ago, has al
ready returned to San Francisco and
is not still on quarantine island, as
every one supposed.
Great difficulty was experienced by
the authorities in getting Pratt back
to the Coast, where he belonged.
Whenever prospective passengers on
any of the boats going to the Coast
heard that it was intended that the
leper was going along, they registered
heavy kick, and there was SO much
fuss made about the matter that the
authorities decided to lie low and
watch their opportunity.
1t was reported that he was going
to the Coast on the China. This be-
came known generally and it became
impossible to send Pratt on that YES
sci. He was gotten away on later
steamer, however, and is now in San
Francisco.
1t is claimed that the local health
authorities have exposed Pratt's al
legged cure for leprosy, and that it is
nothing more than a connection of
sulphur and certain leaves, and is re-
garded as a fake.

cause they worked together at fishing.
rendering oil, sailing Goldfish and in
other occupations of the Islanders. She
made a humorous comparison between
the statures of herself, whom she de-
scribed as at that time being IAN old
maid, so thin that she had to go twice
into the sunshine to make a shadow -
and the diminutive Icelanders
In travelling through the country up
on their little Icelandic ponies the
tourists lodged with families at night
and were enabled to study the people
in their homes. Miss Alderman gave a
humorous recital of her difficulties in
accommodating the length of her per-
son to the ShortnesS of the Icelandic
beds. After many restless nights she
was rejoiced to find, at one house, a
writing desk, with which she made an
extension to the foot of her bed and
rested very comfortably
The party visited the homes of the
three Iceland poets and were entertain
ed by the Chief Executive at the White
House of the north. They rode down in
to the crater of the great Iceland vol
cano on horseback. Miss Ackerman
compared this to the volcano at Kilau-
ca, which she visited last week.
In closing she gave an interesting ac-
count of the commercial phase of Ice
life, and she told how lumber and
building materials are brought in on
ships from other countries, there being
only two trees in the whole of Iceland.
The party remained in Iceland un-
til the period of daylight had almost
passed: Miss Ackerman said she could
only imagine what the place would be
like in the long period of darkness that
was to follow. She was told that a
mania of unconquerable .melancholia
came among the people with the wan
ing of the sun, and the depression of
spirits during the three months night
often turned the minds of the victims
or drove them to suicide. OF this the
darker side of their existence, from
which the sunshine was often elimin-
ated in spirit as we'll as in substance .
Miss Alderman said she could not
speak, but that the Icelanders were a
remarkably cheerful and contented
people and that she knew of no race
better calculated to survive the period
of darkness than the ones the Creator
had placed there.
At the close of the meeting a collec-
tion was taken UP for the furtherance
of the temperance cause, to be used in
the special rescue work which Miss
Ackerman and Miss Murcutt are doing.

nHORTIMER 1. STEVENS, who was
W shot Wednesday night in the
IV1 Republican Office by Edwin S.
Gill, editor of the Republican, is
at the Queens hospital with excellent
chances of recovering from the bullet
wound inflicted by Gill. Doctors Way
son and Taylor sought for the ball yes
terday but failed to locate it. They
will wait several days when develop
ments may disclose the location of the
piece of lead.
The physicians say that they hare
some fear of blood poisoning from the
wound but as Stevens is in a healthy
condition his friends hope for the best.
He is cheerful and able to receive Wis
itors.
Public feeling over the Republican
editors attempt at murder was very
strong yesterday. The course of the
Republican since its starting was dis
cussed by many and the majority opin-
ion was expressed that the papers s
methods are a menace to the commun-
ity. The insulting of women and the
shooting of an unarmed caller were set
down as but fitting climaxes to months
of dwelling on filthy subjects and the
general abuse of citizens in which the
Republican has indulged.
Gill, who was released on bail We'd
nesday night after spending some time
in cell, appeared in police court yes
terday forenoon in company with F. w.
Hankey, his lawyer. The following
complaint against him was sworn to, by

at said Honolulu on the 9Th day of Feb
ruary, 1901 violate section 81 of the Pc
nal Laws of 1897, for that he did at such

TO TEACH HAWAIIAN.
Bill to Perpstuate Native Language
To Be Introduced.

A member of the lower house of the
approaching Legislature will, it is un-
derstood introduce a bill providing for
the teaching of the Hawaiian language
in the public schools. There is mucn
diversity of ideas on the subject, some
educators believing it tosbe practicable,
while others deem it most impracticaDie
in the primary grades. The subject Is
naturally one which interests the Ha-
waiians deeply.
The natives feel that their language
is becoming a thing of the past ana
that it is rapidly dying out They are
of the opinion that some attention
should be paid to their language: that
it should be taught in the schools De
fore it disappears altogether
If it is found impracticable to estab-
lish the teaching of Hawaiian in the
English schools the bill will provide
for native school in each district.

A NEW EXPERIENCE.

The Advertiser makes an effort to
create a public sympathy for a mem
Der of it's staff who went on mis-
sion looking for trouble and got it.
From the unbiased accounts of the
deplorable affair in the Republican
office last night it appears that a
representative Of the Advertiser who
has been widely published abroad as
"a football player, high diver, a
crack cyclist, a remarkable broad
jumper and also a hurdler, ETC., ETC.,
etc." went to the Republican editor
ial rooms to discuss matter on
which there is ample opportunity for
minds to differ as to its being any of
his business The Advertiser repre-
sentative displayed his prowess by
striking the editor in the jaw without
waiting for the editor to place HIM
self on the defensive. The editor, not
being accustomed to that cordial
freedom which forces a man to ac-
cept such evidences Of good faith in
his own house, objected. The editor
being a man of small stature, not
football player, not cyclist, not
wrestler nor a hurdler, ETC., etc..
ETC., drew a revolver and shot the
representative of the Advertiser land
the ball entered Stevens leg just
above the left hip" wherever that
may be.
The Advertiser says Mr.. Stevens
would not have complained If blow
had been met with blow" This is an
interesting afterthought. Doubtless
If Mr.. Stevens had spoken about this
on his entrance to the newspaper Of
flee In question his request would
have been taken under consideration.
The courts will take charge of the
rights and duties of the two gentle
men interested in the affair. What
ever that decision may be. the young
man with a record can add to his list
of accomplishments the knowledge
that a man running a bluff on two
spot high sometimes encounters four
aces.

TAKES THE WORCESTER
TECH FOR A MODEL

Pittsburg, Nov. 12.-Just before the
close Of an all-afternoon meeting OF
the board Of trustees of the Carnegie
Institute today, Mr.. Andrew Carnegie
surprised and delighted the members
present by the announcement that he
had decided to increase by $1,000, 000
his already large donations-$1 000,0 900
to Carnegie Institute and 100000 to
the new Polytechnic School
Mr. Carnegie said he would increase
his original offer TO endow a polytech-
mic school from 100000 to $1,000 900,
provided the city of Pittsburg would
donate a site. His original proposition
was to furnish money for the erection
and equipment Of polytechnic school,
at whatever cost the board Of trustees
might agree upon, and start 1t with an
endowment Of 100000 900. This endow-
ment he today raised to $2,000000. Be-
cause of the rapid growth of the insti-
tute, which comprises the art, music
and literary departments, Mr.. Carne-
gle said he would increase its endow-
ment from 81 900, 900 to $1,000, 900.
The board of trustees adopted plans
for the new school and selected a site
for the buildings. The buildings viii
be modelled after those of the Wor-
cester Polytechnic Institute, and the
site, comprising II acres, which the
board will ask the city to donate,
lies just west Of the Carnegie Library
building and extends along Forbes
Avenue to Boquet Street The city
has already optioned this property
from Mrs. Mary Schenley, and it is
believed that the erection of the school
buildings will begin in a very short
time.
