Marston Campbell was a passenger
ed rather Unexpectedly, catching the
steamer by the merest chance. He had
been away from Honolulu for fort
night. up to the time of his return, ex-
aiming the roads on the mokupuni nui,
which he reports TO be in excellent con-
dition, considering the lack of funds at
the disposal of the roadmakers of the
Big Island. Everywhere he found the
thoroughfares dry and dusty. The lack
of rain has affected everything on Ha

commercial value. 1t costs twenty five
cents a bucket for water with which to

the Island. One day after Mr.. Camp
bell had driven from sunrise TO sunset,
followed by cloud of white, binding
and sitting dust, he came upon little
Chinese store by the roadside and asked
the woman at the door for water with
which to wash. She shook her head to
his inquiry. and said: No water for
wash. Water only for tea now No
amount OF entreaty could change her
mind.

signed the same. there will be more
work done on the roads of Hawaii. For
the present the roads are receiving no

BEEN BADLY HANDLED

The delegates Of number of local and district
assemblies belonging 70 the antParsons faction Of
the knights OF Labor made public yesterday pre-
ambe and resolution adopted by them in which
labor leaders criticised sharply for their alleged
management Of recent strikes.
The preamble states that the large national trade

of unions to benefit the workers and great dissatis

the last railroad mems strike in Albany so
badly managed by the leaders that II resulted in
agreement being signed which placed the men in
worse position than they in before the strike
With regard 10 the machnsts strike il says that
the strike leaders overlooked the most important
problem-the displacement OF men by labor saving

American Federation OF Labor, II says, gave the

The resolutions call on all labor unions to have
strict accounting with the heads Of their organiza

Then the resolutions say. addressing the rank and
file of the labor unions:
Before allowing yourselves to become part OF a

HUMAN ROOSTER DISTURBs HIN.
THEREFORE THE BRooKLYNITE SUES THE
VAUDEVILLE ACTOR WHO PRAC-
TISES AT HOME.

Five hundred dollars is the modest sum de-
manded by one Alfred Gardner of Brooklyn
who has brought suit in the Municipal Court OF
that borough against a neighbor who lives at
No 372 Bainbridge-st.. alleging that the amount
mentioned is the extent to which he has been
injured by loss of sleep and wear and tear on
his delicate nervous organism consequent upon
the vocal exercises praCtised raucousy morn
in, noon an night" by a leather Iunged rooster
belonging TO the said neghbOr. The said neigh
bor's name need not be Given, although it's omis-
sion may distress his press agent. For purposes
of reference hereafter It will be sufficient to call
him Benthysen Skagglitt. Skaggltt is a vaude-
VILE actor. and Gardner declares that his un-
speakable bird is wearing him to a shadow of
his ebullient self by it's redundant vocal
ism. He has protested in vain. he says. but
Skagglitt only gives hirl the hilarious 'Ha. ha,"
in return.
Skagglitt. however. denies the allegation. and
defes the alligator. He has rooster. and
hopes never to have one. He admits, however,
with becoming modesty that in the course Of
the refined and instructive entertainment with
which he regales his audiences and earns his
daily champagne Le is frequently called upon
TO initiate the cry given by the lusty barnyard
fowl when he salutes the gladsome morn. This,

Anyhow. says Skaggiitt. Cardners remedy, if
ne has one. lies with the Board OF Health. and
not with a court of law.
The case is still undecided Meantime Skagg-
