Several children were seen last night
trotting away from the place with
buckets of beer-and foam. Several
more did not trot, but no sooner had

From what can be learned of the af-
fair, Tokonato carries passengers for
less money than the natives, and they
hal i've become embittered against him on
this account. During an argument on
Saturday the big native who struck him
abused him, saying he could not row a

In their haste to make themselves
known to the drinking public, the
proprietors of the Aloha have thrown
open their saloon before the place has
been left by the carpenters and paint
ers. The doors are not yet hung;
the paint is not yet dry upon the
walls, and cigar stumps and shavings
Uttered the floor. The swinging doors
are not yet swinging. IF they had been
last night, they would have been an
fncumbrance. The windows of the
place were raised as high as it was
possible to get them, in order to venti
late as much as possible the thick,
foul-smelling, over-heated atmosphere.
In serving the free beer yesterday,
which was largely foam, little or no
attempt was made to get it before the
consumer in an artistic manner. The
chief and only aim was to get it there.
The miXologist is a brawny fellow, de-

his ability to sling beer.
In front of. the bar gathered the

Their faces were flushed with too
much drink, and the speech of many
came thickly and ineoherently. Men
sang lewd songs and told lewd jests,
unmindful of who was listening or who
might hear. In little groups about the
room, sailor and kanaka discussed with
all the seriousness that a drunken man
can assume, national questions Of
grave import, and told each other in
strictest confidence, the story of their
lives. Roustabout and sailor explained
as lucidly as their beer-befuddled
brains would allow, wherein this naval
commander or that, was woefully
weak, or wherein he was unfortunate

EVERYTHING NOW
RUNS SMOOTHLY
The Agitators Will Not Be Taken
Back Though They Want

The strike at the Honolulu Iron
as far as the Iron Works Company is
concerned The company is running
full force of men-about 500 in all de-
partments-and the men who made the
trouble for the company several months
ago can be said to have lost their bat
tie. Not one of the striking machinists
has been taken back, except five half
whites who went back to work yester-
day morning.
1t was only out of sympathy that
these five men We're given their old jobs
back They learned their trade in the
Iron Works, are married and have fam
lilies. Before the advent of the machln-
lists and other workers from the Coast
they knew nothing of unions. They
were drawn into the local machinistS'
union without knowing what the future
would bring to them by reason of their
connection with it.
When the white men who headed the
union ordered the strike, the half
whites. as well as a number of natives,
walked out with them. When the weeks
heightened into months these men saw
the folly of their action, and last week
they implored the management to take
them back. They were not especially
needed, but as they had received all
their knowledge in the shops here, and
would not be able to procure employ
ment elsewhere, they were once more
placed on the pay rolls.

came here from the Mainland hearing

1--WE are running a full complement of

half-whites and told them they could

promptly sent in their designations to
the union. The men who made the
trouble for us have gone to other parts,
some to San Francisco, some to the obi
onies and some to the Sound country.
We won't take on these men. We IN

during that time, will be given the pref

The gypsy families who invade London every

approach of cold weather, thousands of these
nOmads come into London, and regularly
leave when warmer weather shows signs of ap-
preaching. When in town they frequent the
suburbs each family haunting the same district
year after year. and setting up their homes
on some convenient open space. Now and again
they dsmayed to find stately villa a

the last ten years or so the gypsy folk have felt

Phil Paquette, woodsman, never
loved any girl until he saw Annette.
the brown-eyed daughter of the boss
of the Michigan lumber camp In when
he and a hundred others worked all
winter
He came upon her in clearing one
day where she was spreading a feast
OF grain before a flock of birds. with
her was Hammond. the only man In
the world that raquette had time
enough to hate.
Hammond was tall and fair and per-
fectly familiar with the English lam
guage. Phil was big, with broad
shoulders and clear eyes, and to the
strong mans contempt of the weak he
added the hate of man who thinks
he should have the something that
another has.
So he stood with folded arms and
watched the girls snug1y fitting jacket
brush close to Hammond's arm and
saw her laugh into Hammond's face.
and he vowed that he would save the
girl from Hammond. Paquette had
let into his wild brain the idea that the
girl was as far above the assistant boss
Saginaw river, by whose banks he and
the rest labored. So he watched Ham
mOnd.
He saw that the girl talked to him
often and carelessIy he listened once
or twice. The talk was about books
of which he had heard but dimly. and
of plays of which until then he had
never heard at ALL One day he said
RI Apnatta'S father.

but refrained. -
In his pocket he had the savings of
the winter, and he meant to spend 1t in
books that he, too. might read and be
worthy of talking to the boss daugh-
ter But he had Fever bought books
before and he had often bought whis
ky. So to get courage enough to go
into a shop and ask for book he spen,
some of his money for drink. Then he
postponed buying the books for an
hour or two and drank more.
He went into gambling place that

BALLOON EXPERIMENTS

Serve to Point 3 Moral by Bringing
Undeservsd Compliments.
How completely and honestly people
can deceive themselves, and how risky
1t is for one to believe his own ears"
was illustrated the other day by an ex-
pertinent of the Rev. Mr.. Bacon, an
Anglican clergyman, who is engaged in
experimenting with wireless telegraphy
and war balloons for the British War
Office. He sent notices to the papers
throughout the kingdom that he would
on n certain date, at a certain hour,
ascend in balloon from the Crystal
Palace and fire on a collection of fog
signals from beneath his car. People
were asked to listen for the sounds
of the explosions and to report the re-
suits of their observations.
Mr.. Bacon made his ascension all
right, and when some 100 feet above
the earth applied the electric current to
one of his bombs. The result was nil.
He tried another, and that too, refused
to explode. In fact, no one of his sig
nails would work, and he descended to
earth again.
In due time there came in to him
from all over the country letters from
persons who had heard the explosions
which did not take place and who were
able to give any amount of data con-
corning them.-New York Press
