HUMAN BONES
EXHUMED BY DOGS
Sad Condition of One of the
Government Burying
Grounds.

DR.. Wood complains about the
shameful neglect of the government
cemetery next to his house. Not In
frequently. he says, human bones are
dug up by dogs, and a couple or years
ago his own dog brought such disjecta
membra on to his lawn. The Doctor
did not mind it so much himself, as he
is used to such things, but he feared
that callers at his house might be too
sensitive to rightly appreciate their
chances, while crossing his grass, to
make anatomical studies.
Occasionally" says the Doctor, ''es-
pecially after rains, the ends of collins
protrude from the ground. 1t wouldn't
surprise me much to find skeletons In
the street. The state of the yard Is
disgrace to the city, and to civilized
society"
Who is. supposed to have charge Of
this cemetery he was asked.
The Board of Public Works." re-
piled DR.. Wood.

high official He said the Governor was
q fit subject for consideration by a
court. He referred to the work of the
Legislature, saying that little had been
done, and attributed this in part to the
lack of a good leader, with which he
thought there could have been much
good work done. He said that the Ha-
waiians had chosen Wilcox for their
candidate for the Governorship, and
unite for the fight.
Wilcox was called out and devoted
that there should be a close drawing of
the lines. that the Home Rulers should
be called together and that those MEM
bers who had been false to the party
trust in the last Legislature should be
singled out and they should not be
given any votes when another election
comes off. There should be an end of
quarreling, he said. and the people
should unite upon one point and win X.
He referred to the need of education
for the people, saying that though
there had been prophecies that there
never would be a Hawaiian boy at
West Point there was one now and he
would be a credit to the Territory.
There was, he said, the best feeling at
Washington for the Territory, and the
people here should justify that inter
est. He said if there was now a young
man who had been educated In an ag-
ricultural college. such as that OF the

what was needed most, in his opinion,
was to unite the people so that there
could be some effective work done.
THE author of the resolution then took
the floor and made long and earnest
address in favor of its passage. There
was a general discussion during which
Chairman Palau said 1t would be pet
fer TO Law the matter over until there
couId be a full meeting, and Mahuka
thought there should be special meet
ing on Sunday or Monday for the con-
s;daration of the matter. Other speak
ars sa;d that If the executive commit
tee would not meet and carry through
;+s business the members should be
aisobareed. 1t was only after great
deal of discussion that the matter was
laid over.
when some of the men present then
asked what was before the meeting
Chairman Palau said that there snouio

vacancy and that there ought to be

, advised that the young men should
take the civil service examinations and
fit themselves for any place under the

AS to the Governorship he said that
1t was idle for the people to talk of a

as the Republican party was in power
there would be none but a Republican
or a man who would represent the

AA AGOON is always wide awake
tyI For subjects for his trust,
He dearly loves the thriftless
ones
He also loves their dust;
To put temptation from their path,
Most nobly he doth seek.
To guard their filthy lucre which
A curse on them would wreak.
Then have a care,
Here comes the philanthroplst-
He's got nose for rentals,
Which perchance you have missed;
So sign the pledge,
And walk discreetly round
And then you'll never fear Magoon
Nor grace the spendthrifts' pound

n EWARE all ye with incomes,
n Your finish draweth near
Unless you straightway curb your
taste
For hack-riding and beer;
Magoon has got his eye on you,
And day and night doth plan
To save you from your thriftless selves
Most philanthropic man.
Then hush, lie low,
Here comes the guardian man;
He's organized a spendthrift trust
You figure in his plan;
So swear off beer,
And never ride in hacks,
Or else Magoon will spot you soon
And down you in your tracks.

M AGOON Is sleek and glossy,
lvI And worth his weight in gold
Small token Of the gratitude
OF spendthrifts young and old;
Heroic Is his sacrifice,
But happier far the lot
According to the guardian
Of those whose wealth he's got.
Then never spend
A dollar of your own,
Unless you want to add a bag
OF gold to Magoon's throne:
For If you do,
To wealth you'll bid goodbye.
And be allowed four plunks per week
For lemonade and pie.
