GETTING AMERlCANIZED.

The Celestial wash man has been the
butt for the Photographer for years,
eyer since he was known, in fact. He
has been sung in the stories of the
Western bards until his peculiarities
are supposed to be known, but it re-
manned for the strike of yesterday to
uncover a new side of his character.
The Americanization of the Chinese
seemed to be complete when he had to
have a union of the wash-house men,
"all samee plumbers" But alas for
the poor yellow man. he had only taken
one degree of unionism. He had enter
ed the ante room, but no further had
he penetrated in the mysteries. For
when his union was strong enough to
strike against working with non-union
men, and the members walked away
from their tubs and JaveI water, they
had not taken the precaution to name
walking delegate or grievance COM
mittee.
1t was like the simple, trusting ma
ture Of the Fasteners to not see to this,
which Is to the American laborer in a
union prerequisite. A union without
. grievance committee seems like Ham
let with the star part out of it.
So 1t proved, too, for the attempt of
the bosses to communicate with their
non-working workers was a failure, as
the union had not a representative
This Is an oversight which the union
friends of the Celestial must remedy at
once. SIt~is mot fair to him to have him
go part or the road and miss the most
pleasant portions of 1t. For some hard
working washer, whose Bonded back has
borne the heat and burden of many
ducks, from coats to skirts, there is
coming time of resting, when for him
Will bloom the box in the barber shop
or corner store, ard will ripen the best
OF cabbage for his smoking. Instead of
perspiring in denim in Iwilei, in softest
crepe or silk he will air himself on the
gallery of the club and drink tea with
his former boss. He may be rich in
time, but life will hold no greater pleas
ure than his sojourn among capitalists,
while safeguarding the interests of his
fellow wash men.
A walking delegate who had confined
his peregrinations to the vicinity of the
scene of the troubles, could have saved
many temper yesterday There would
have been less wondering why the wash |
man did not come for the clothes less
fear felt by many good housewives, but |
now that all Is known it Is with pity |
that he had not been put wise" that |
he must be viewed. But 1t will go as !
hard with the man who told about the |
good thing union and left out the I
delegate as 1t might with the |
Flying Jordans, had |
they been caught Once the office is |
created there will be one candidate in |
the lodge-one for each vote to be cast.

UNMASkEO!

The part of the Chronicle interview
which the plotting judge Is most eager
10 repudiate, or which his paper sees
the necessity of repudia ting for him, Is
as follows:
There Is no political reason why the
change should not be made. 1t would
be necessary only for Congress to pass
an act that could be written on a sheet
of foolscap paper, AND THERE WOULD
BE NO NECESSITY OF SUBMITTING
1T TO THE PEOPLE OF THE ISL
ANDS AT ALL.
Finding that the latter clause is en-
raging the Hawaiians, Humphreys pa
per denies that it is his, and says that
no one would suspect him of so foolish
a statement. Yet the statement is pre-
cisely in line with the Supreme Courts
decision in the insular cases and it was
by Humphreys kept even
Ing paper in its issue of June "a. We

which were opposed to the scheme prior

which were opposed to the scheme prior
to annexation.
Note that in this official prospectus,
printed by q paper which represents
Humphreys plans as faithfully as does
the journal whose weekly deficit he is
paying, no reference is made to the sub
mission of the annexation scheme to the
people of these Islands. On the contrary
it is explicitly stated that if the con-
sent of California" can be had annexa-
ton must soon take place; that Califor-
nia-not Hawaii-would regulate the
time limit; and that it was the intention
of the original promoters of the move
ment here to first present the plan to
California through Washington''-in
other words to have California pass an
act in prompt conjunction with Con-
gress, annexing Hawaii to the Golden
State whether the people here liked 1t
or not.
In the face of evidence like this,
touching the nature and aim of the
annexation plot, Humphreys denials
sound like those of the man who tries
to explain away the marked coin found
in his pockets after the robbery of the
till, by saying that some designing per-
son put it there.

The lawyer who INDUCES in raking up

it must take all kinds of lawyers to make

An immense and most artistic mon
ument of Christ Is to be erected on
Mount Vesuvius, the exact place Sc
lected being the Salvador square on
the Calderoni Hill. this being the
place where a chapel stood in old days.
Pending the erection of the monument,
which will be of marble. a wooden
cross will be placed OF this lofty peak.
and its dimensions will be so great that
a clear view of II ear be obtained from
Naples. The monument will be con-
structed by some famous sculptor, and
by the orders of Pope Leo the follow
ing inscription will be engraved on II:

whose homes have been near Mount
Vesuvius have piously believed that
the fury of an eruption could be much
mitigated by the prayers to the Al

in some consecrated spot. When the
terrible eruption began in 1851 Car

the Amoses shot and killed Vaughn.
They claimed that he had tried to es-
cape. However, three of the five shots
which had pierced the dead mans body
were fred after he had fallen-so the

Gated. The Amoses at that time did
not know of the existence Of Charles
Vaughn-who was employed on a
ranch in Texas-and, after they had
killed Jim, settled down to quiet life.
WILDER remained in Caney and Dennis
Amos, with his young wife and child,
located on a farm just east of Cedar
vile. A friend of Jim Vaughn In the
meantime notified Charles Vaughn Of
the n in which his cousin had
been killed, and Charles ~thereupon
boarded the next train and went to
Caney. He remained quiet a day and
by inquiry learned of the whereabouts
of the Amoses. On the second day af-
ter his arrival he met WILDER Amos In
a drug store, and, walking up to him,
informed him that he was there for
the purpose of killing him. Amos
reached for his gun. but Vaughn was
too quick for him and sent a 45-caliber
bullet through his brain. The dead
man had hardly struck the floor before
Vaughn was on his horse riding at a
breakneck speed toward town. Dennis
Amos was eating dinner when Vaughn
reached his house, and without intro
ducing himself the Texan opened fire
and sent one bullet through Dennis
breast and another through his head.
The Infatuated cowboy then picked up
the child and dashed its brains out
against the floor. He also fired a shot
at the woman, but she escaped into
the bedroom, and Vaughn, thinking
his pursuers were close upon him,
mounted his horse and rode away. AL
though a posse pursued him for two
days he was not overtaken and his
whereabouts had never been known
from that day to the day of his death.
Yesterday, when, after a six weeks
struggle with the fever, he found that
he had to die, he told his attendants
that he was Charles Vaughn and mar
rated the above story. which the older
residents of this town know to be true.

By the death OF Charles Vaughn,
fifteen miles south of Cedarvale, Kan,
In the Usage reservation. the last sur
vivor of a feud which was fought along
the border with all the f~ierceness of a

wiped out. The participants were IN

that he would return in three days and

on the appointed day went back to Ca

pulling his six shooters began firing
and walking toward the Amos joint.
The Amoses replied with a broadside
from their shotguns, and when the
smoke had cleared away Vaughn lay in
the street with his body full of buck
shot and Tom Amos lay on the floor
with his jaw shattered by a bullet.
Blood poison set in and four weeks
later Amos was buried. On the other
hand, Vaughn. who was thought to
have been MORALLY wounded, recover
ed, and in two months was able to go
to work again. Vaughn was a crack
shot and the Amoses lived in constant
terror of him, and after they found
that he had gotten well they swore out
a warrant for his arrest-which was
an unusual proceeding in those days.
