Only TIE other day an unhappy man
in New Hampshire city shot and
killed his wife and then shot himself
When dying he told his friends that The
mania to kill had been born in hii
heart under the influence OF the gossip
Of neighbors. He knew nothing against
his wife, but the whispering OF persons
he believed to be friends. and doubtless
who thought themselves his friends
made him mad. and he killed the woman
he loved
Were the persons who, as seli-ap
pointed eensors OF the private affairs OF
this man and his wife put into his heart
the black suspicion that grew until only
death could allay il, touched BY a twinge
Of conscience when the man and his
wife lay deadS The chances are they
we're not, for the gossip seldom realizes
the evil done by gossiping In many
natures proneness to gossip is so sadly
dominant that an idle tale about this
that or the other one is ever on the
tongue. i may be true. but more often
Il is only half true, and sometimes not
true at all; and the person OF whom 1t
Is needlessly told is never benefited by
the telling OF 1t.

GEORGE ENLLER INJURED

George Fuller. met with a painful and
unfortunate accident yesterday after
noon while practicing for the coming
football game. During a scrimmage,
he fell to the ground and broke the
smaller bone of his right leg, near the
ankle. The injury will not prove Sc
rious but it will be the result of the
Punahou Athletic eleven, loosing one of
it's best players
The practice was being held back of
the Punahou Preparatory school on Be-
retania street. Fuller was playing full
back. Opposed to his side were some of
the members of the club. He took the
ball and started to run with it, and was
either caught and thrown, or else trip
ped up. In falling, his leg was twisted
around in such a way that the weight
of three or four men in the mix up was
thrown on 1t, the smaller bone being
broken. He was removed to his home,
corner of Nuuanu and School streets.
He expects to be out on crutches with
in a week or ten days
Fuller was regarded as the best or one
of the very best players which the team
had. He was one of the regular guards.
His particular line was in kicking goals.
The team has sustained a bad loss in
his forced retirement

JUDGE KAULUKOU IS FINED
PAYS TEN DOLLARS FOR BEING
LATE.
Kealoha Found Guilty Of Rolling a
Drunk-Enects Of Six Glasses of
Swipes.

Ex-Judge Kaulukou was fined $40
this morning by Judge Humphreys, for
being late and keeping the court and
jury waiting. Kaulukou was attorney
for Kealoha, charged with larceny.
The case was set for 10 o'clock this
morning, and the attorney was absent
at that hour. He was sent for and ar
rived in court i'm about fifteen minutes,
the court taking a recess in the mean
time.
Kauukou said he had forgotten all
about the case. He had some business
in the district court, and forgot t1at
he had a case in the circuit court.
Judge Humphreys ordered him to pay
a fine of $40, and the amount was duly
paid to the clerk.
Kealoha was accused of "rolIlg
drunk" His victim was one Kinahuu,
who took the stand and told about 1t.
In reply to a question from Assistant
Attorney General Douthitt Kinahuu
testified that, on the evening of April
90 1901, he was drunk. He was thor
oughly drunk for he went to sleep and
didn't know what happened. lie was
with Kealoha in house in Iwilei dis
trict and he had six glasses of swipes,
or more. They were full sized glasses,
and what happened after the taking OF
the sixth glass had to be told by other
pocket, rested oblivious to all that went
on.
1t appeared that Kealoha had found
the sleeper and taken the $45 from the
latters pockets. He was seen taking
the money and Kinahuu was arrested
as a drunk and taken to the station,
where he woke on the following day.
with nothing in his pockets, and was
told by the police that he hadn I
cent when he was arrested.
After the case was closed kealoha
attorney raised the point that the pro
secution had failed to prove the 1uIls-
diction of the court, not having SHOWN
that the offense was committed in the
territory of Hawaii. The court over
ruled Kaulukou and the case went 10
the jury. ,,, ooso
The Jury in the Kealoha larceny case
this afternoon returned verdlct OF not
guilty. Kealoha was accused OF steal-
ing $45 from a companion when tne
latter was drunk. The jurors were NOT
satisfied that the alleged victim OF the
theft had had $45 with him at the time
of the occurrence.

PROTECT FROM PLAGUE
ARRANGEMENTS TO MAKE
WHARVEs RAT PROOF.
Assistant Superintendent Campbell Re
called from Hawaii-Funds Promised
Work to be Urged Forward.

The shipping men met yesterday af-
ternoon to discuss the devisng of ways
and means to effectually prevent the
future Introduction of rats and the ac-
companying risk of pest germs into this
port. Representatives of the following
firms were present: w G. Irwin and Co,
Hackfeld and Co., Dawes and Co.,
Oahu Railway Co., Castle and Cooke.
and Alexander and Baldwin. The per-
sonnel being respectively Messrs. Gif-
lard, Pfotenhauer, 7. Give Davies, II.
Focke, G. p. Dennison, j. A. Gilman
and j. p. Cooke.
At the meeting it was decided to go
ahead with the improvements as out
lined by Assistant Superintendent of
Public Works Marston Campbell at the
joint meeting of shippers and Board OF
Health members and Federal officials
last Monday. The plan in brief lies in
the providing of the wharves with
aprons that will make the spaces un-
derneath air tight and capable of be-
ing fumigated. This will render the
port immune from possible plague and
enable the Quarantine authorities to
give a clean bill of health to vessels,
thus facilitating shipment in ordinary
times.
Ships will by these means be enabled
to enter San Francisco without further
quarantine. In time of plague in the
city the wharves will be germ and rat
proof and vessels will be allowed to
pass through without trouble or un-
necessary detention at either end.
A message was sent to Hawaii to
Marston Campbell asking for as prompt
a return as possible, the reply giving
assurance of a speedy arrival Mr.
Campbell will be met by a committee
of three consisting of Messrs. Giffard,
Pfotenhauer and Gilman, who will con
fer with him concerning the plans, spe-
cifications and details of the proposed
plan.
The Planters Association. it is un-
derstood have agreed to see that the
money will be forthcoming for the ini-
tial cost. The rough estimate calls for
10000 with monthly expenditure of
$500 more for running expenses.

SCHOONER LADY,s PILIKIA

The schooner Lady. Captain Nelson,
made port this morning at an early
hour after being weather bound at Ha-
nalei for several days. The vessel en-
countered the toughest kind of weather
and Captain Nelson and his crew had
great trouble coming home. The vessel
left Hanalei last Tuesday evening and
on Wednesday. after clearing Kaena
Point, north east gale sprang up.
The vessel came along under reefed
sail. Fer flying glib was blown away in
the storm. Heavy seas were running,
Nelson was at the wheel twelve hours
on one occasion. The salt water blind
ed him so that he had to have his face
constantly wiped with cloth by one of
the Japanese sailors. in order to see
how to steer.

ed on Monday next for the sale of seats
for the three first opening nights Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday Of next week.
The combination comes here under the
management of a local hui i'm which
Prince David is interested. The an
nouncements promise something es-
pecially good in the line of minstrelsy.
Hogan proved a great favorite down
here and there are stated to be eight
comedians all as good as Hogan. The
public will probably be satisfied II they
are only half as good. Three quartettes
are billed, male, lady, and picannny.
Several Of the names on the program
are quite well and favorably known in
the states several Of them having been
brought from Chicago and New

EDITOR REPORIED RICH

Edwin S. Gill, editor of the Republi-
can, is reported to be rich. According
to advices received by the Gaelic yes
terday he has just inherited a large
estate in the east. Whether these re-
ports are correct or not, Mr.. Gill is
unable to say, but he expects to re-
ceive further information of the sub
ject soon.
In speaking of the matter he said:
"Yes l did receive news by the Gaelic
that / had been left a legacy. The
Cincinnati Enquirer of two weeks ago
contained an article saying that east
ern attorneys had been making in
quiries in that city for me and claim
ing that 1 had been left a large estate
by an old friend who formerly resided
in California.
THAT is all 1 know about 1t and ]
am not inclined to look upon 1t as
amounting to anything, until l learn
something more definite. Cincinnati Is
my old home and l was we'll known
there, which would account for inquir-
les as to my whereabouts being insti-
tued at that place by attorneys from
the east"

In addition to this treshet, the wal
luku river near Hilo was also reported
to have risen to within seven feet OF
the bridges and the people living along
the river banks had been forced to de-
sert their houses to escape the rise Oh
water. Houses were inundated and
fears were entertained that there would
be a further rise 50 household goods
were being hurriedly carteq away.
The news of the freshets was given
TO Purser Simerson by Japanese po-
lice officer named Utaro who came
from Hilo and boarding the Mauna
Loa on the Kau coast, to go up to one
OF the Kona ports on official business
No information of the reported wash

SOUTH KONA PLANTATION.


special meeting of the stockholders
of the South Kona Agricultural COM
pany was held this morning at the
office of w. r. Castle. The meeting
was called to hear the report of the
officers and directors on the status of
work on the plantation, the plans for a
mill, mill site, and plantation railroads,
and on the efforts made to float a bond
issue in San Francisco. A full report
on the negotiations for the bond issue
was made, and the stockholders direct
ed the officers to continue these nego-
tiations which give every prospect of
success. The proposed issue is of $780,
900, though the bonds are not all to be
sold at once, but only as the need for
the money in the development of the
plantation requires.
The report of operations on the plan
tation was very encouraging. The
plantation has about 300 acres of cane
which if it could be timely harvested, 1t
is believed, would yield about eight
tons to the acre. But as facilities for
harvesting 1t will not be ready at the
time the cane natures, 1t will be cut
back.
The report of the cost of cultivation
from the beginning of the preparation
of the land until the cane is ready to
mill was reported as very low. The
natural facilities as they have been
developed by experiment and survey
were reported most excellent, and op-
portunities for a $1,000 ton plantation
are believed by the stockholders very
satisfactory.
If the negotiations for the sale of
the bonds are successful, as it was re-
ported there was every reason to be-
lieve they would be, the stockholders
directed the officers to go ahead with
the development of the plantation
along the line of the plans submitted
and approved.
