CHINESE AFTER IH' MONEY

About twenty Chinese laborers have
applied for their $3.50 each, under the
old contract with the Republic of Ha-
wall, declaring their intention to re-
turn to China. This will take about
$500 of the money now held by the First
National Bank and to be turned over to
the public treasurer in a few weeks.
The contract under which the Chinese
get this money back provided that the
Chinese should stick to the plantation
labor for which they were brought here.
Otherwise they are not entitled to the
return of their deposit. Wray Taylor.
who has had charge of the matter as
immigration Commissioner under the
old government, says that the present
applicants are all from the plantations
and that it is a mistake to suppose that
Chinese contract labOrers in any con-
siderable numbers are leaving the
plantations and trying to get into bust
ness in Honolulu. I'm all the cases /
have heard Of" said Taylor. II have
only known one Chinese brought here
under this kind of contract who left
the plantation and tried to get work
in Honolulu. He became a blacksmith
here. l think those who are applying
for their return funds have all
complied with their contracts. They
are from agricultural districts in
China"
Taylor thinks that the Chinese Con
sui was misinformed when he wrote
his protest against putting the money
in the treasury. THE money i'm the
bank does the Territory no good" said
Taylor. The Territory gets no interest
on it, and is at the same time respon-
sible for it all. / think the Consul if
he had known what the plan was, would
have understood that it was all right.
The money is being called for, and 1
think the greater part will be eventu-
ally returned to the Chinese"

ANOTHER INSURANCE SUIT.

by fire. In this case, however, the dam
ages are not asked for property des-
troyed in the great fire or by accident,
but for buildings that were deliberately
burned down by the Board of Health
Lee Ahlos buildings were consumed by
order of the Board before the big fire

David Bradnick.

One by one, old and young, are
passing to that bourne from
whence no traveller ever returns.
1t becomes our sad duty to record
the death of David Bradnick, of
Dublin township, which occurred
at one o'clock Thursday morning,
September 10. He was born
near the place of his death June
2, 1859, being, therefore, compar-
atively a young man-42 years of
age. He was the seventh child of
Conrad and Anna Bradnick. Sew
eral years ago he was converted
and joined the U. B. church, of
which he continued a member for
some years; but as many others,
amidst Affections and troubles, he
neglected the means of grace, and
fell away from the service of the
Master; yet, when stricken by the
grim destroyer, he was brought
again to the foot of the cross and
died happy in the assurance of a
blessed immortality.
He selected the passage of
Scripture from which his funeral
sermon was preached, Philippians
1:23.
He leaves surviving him wife,
three brothers, and one sister; he
was a good neighbor, and one
without enemies.

turning from Knobsville, they
discovered a dark bay horse
hitched to buggy in the woods
near Hustontown. 1t being at a
late hour, and the boys being
peaceful, they did not make a
thorough investigation, but con-
cluded by the appearance of
things, that the character of the
driver or owner must have been

Telephone Suggestion To Our
Farmers.

Rev. S. S. Wylie, Middle Spring,
in his trips across the continent
writes from Monmouth, ILL.,, to the
News of Shippensburg, from
which we take this extract:
Private telephone companies
are rapidly being organized in
central Illinois, among country
people. The little town of Flea
nor, ILL.,, not larger than Middle
Spring, is the center for a tele-
phone company, gotten up by
country people, and there is
scarcely a farmer in all that re-
gion that has not his phone.
After the expense of the introduc-
tion of the phone it only costs
each house So per year. They
make good practical use of them.
A lady at 10 a. M, wanted to have
a number of friends for tea, that
evening; in ten minutes she had
invited, and they had accepted,
and that evening we met around
the festal board, delightful cir
Gle of Christian people. The
same was true of a church social
a few evenings after, where we
met much larger circle of peo-
pie. They use their phones for
all possible purposes, in buying
and selling, engagements, crack
ing jokes on one another, and by
such methods, it is wonderful
how time and space areannihilated
