BOOK AGENT FALLS AND BREAKS
HER LEG.
Well Known Character Who Pluckily
Earns Her own Living-Has No
Resources.

Mrs Healy, a well known charac-
ter about town, who eked out a scanty
existence by selling books and PAM
phlets of a more or less religious char
acter, sustainedva n severe accident this
morning by falling down a flight of
stairs and breaking her leg.
The little old lady is in a sad pre-
dicament. According to her own state.
ment she has neither money nor friends
to help her through the long spell OF
sickness that is sure to ensue from the
breakage of a limb of one so advanced
in years as she appears to be.
Clad in a long black dress with a
long shawl covering her person and
crowned with an old fashioned bonnet
and trying to make her daily wage, she
had just failed in selling a pamphlet fol
a quarter in the grocery store in the
Progress block and had turned into
the Bergstrom Music Company hoping
for better luck. j. w. Bergstrom, wht
sometimes aided the old lady, was busy
at the bookkeepers desk in the rear OF
the store and towards him the little ole
woman in black directed her steps.
Instead of advancing to the door Of
the office or to the cashiers window
she walked behind some pianos an6
without noticing her steps fell down the
flight of steps leading to the basement
which were in plain view.
Hearing a fall and someone groan w
d. Adams, an employee, FASTENED dowI
stairs followed by three or four other:
and found the little old lady at the foo
of the stairs family groaning. So quiet
ly had she come in that no one haC
noted her presence and were astOnisheC
to find her there.
Mr.. Bergstrom telephoned for DR.
Garvin who promptly responded ant
| pronounced the leg broken. At his sug
gestion the patrol and a stretcher wer'
sent for. A chair and pillow were ar
! ranged and the unfortunate woman
was taken to the Sanitarium on Kini
street at her own request where sh'
was admitted and will be properly
| looked after.
Mrs. Healy belongs to the Seventh
| Day Adventists and asked to be takel
to the Sanitarium as the proprietors o
| that institution are of the same belief
| 1t Is said that the old lady was a Durs
in her PALMER days. She lived in
| little room on Nuuanu street and wa
quiet inoffensive old body, asking n
aims and pluckily taking up the strug
| gle for existence. She was apt to ac
| abstractedly at times and was probabl
thinking of anything else but her pat
when she fell down the stairs thi
morning.

EHLERS WILL IS ADMITTED

The will of the late Paul Friedrich
August Ehlers was admitted to probate
this morning by Judge Gear, and w.
Pfotenhauer was appointed administra-
tor. Ehlers was a former resident OF
Honolulu and though he had been away
from the country for number of wears,
be left quite large Hrovcft~s interests
here. He left at about the time of the
change of government, and it is said
that dissatisfaction with the new order
of affairs was one of the reasons why
he went
Ehlers was drowned last June, in Ger
many. His will named ]. F. Hackfeld
as the administrators and left all his
property to his wife, with provlso
that if she died before she came into
possession of the etate, it should go to
the sons. 1t happened that Mrs. Ehlers
did die in Germany within aNmonth
of the death of her husband. Hackfeld
renounced as administrator on the
ground that he was about to leave the
Islands and II. A. Isenberg, acting Ger
man Consul petitioned for the ap-
pointment Of Pfotenhauer The latter
was placed under bonds of 1886, 900.
The estate consists of $4,000 loaned
out on mortgages in Honolulu, a life

CLAIMS ARE HEAVILY CUT down FLIGHT OF STAIRS
COMMISSIONERS WILL RAISE A
ROW.
Proceedings Indicate That Claimants
Win be Rudely and Dlsagreeably Sur
prised-The Appropriation Enough.

There will be a howl when the Court
of Claims begins to hand down deci-
sions, and there will be some very rude
and disagreeable shocks for claimants
who have been anticipating receiving
goodly sums of money from the apprU-
priation made by the Legislature. So
say those who have watched the work
of the commissioners. and heard the
questions they have been putting TO
witnesses. The commissioners are
ready for a storm of denunciation, and
they will get it. If rumors that are being
circulated count for anything. They
took the oath to investigate and rightly
adjudicate the claims presented and
they have found so much fraud and
eXaggeration of losses that there is no
doubt that the aggregate of claims is
little basis for calculations as to what
will be awarded.
1t is very probably that the sum of
a million and a half, set aside for the
payment Of claims, will prove enough
for ALL in spite of the fact that the
claims now amount to 200 900 in round
numbers. In fact it is stated by those
who are best posted that there is every
likelihood that there will be money left
over.
So far the court has not decided any
claims, except one or two that were
simply thrown out as unworthy of con-
SlueTdIlOn at all but lne court mas
heard the evidence in 1,500 cases, and 1t
has had executive sessions at which the
evidence heard has been discussed. 1t
Is understood that the decisions will
come oil at once, when the court gets
through. After that, the deluge of
kicks.
The commissioners have found rank
fraud and have listended to equally
rank perjury, but aside from these con-
siderations, they have found in most
cases an oVervaluatio that is apparent
even if witnesses statements are ac-
cepted. In most cases the prices asked
for detroyed goods are the cost, no mat
ter how old the goods may have been at
the time of the fire. The cross-examin-
ations of witnesses by the chairman,
and of natives especially by Judges
Testa and Kepoikai, indicate that the
court proposes to appraise the values
itself, making reductions for several
years use, of clothing, furniture, etc
This would very largely cut down the
totPl of amount to be paid out.
"I would be willing" said an attorney
who has had something to do with the
work, "to take the $1,500,00O and agree
to pay every award the commission
makes. 1 think 1 should make very
good money out of the bargain. There
will be no need for q future Legislature
to appropriate more money for these
claims. There will be money left over
in the resent appropriation"
In the meantime the commissioners
are cultivating thick skins, ready fol
the hundreds of soreheads who will Dt
out with hammers when the court be-
gins handing down decisions. 1t will bC
a time for sackcloth and ashes, among
about 5000 natives, Chinese and Japa'
nese.

BABE MURDERER IN COURT
ARRAIGNED BEFORE JUDGE Will.
cox.
H. E. Bigelow Has Been Retained by
Friends Of Defendant to Look After
His Interests.

Funah kasabaro who strangled his
infant child last Saturday because of
his poverty, was arraIgned before
Judge Wilcox this morning on a
charge of murder in the first degree.
To the surprise of practically every one
| in the court room, special counsel ap-
peared for the Japanese.
The case against the defendant by
his own confession, appeared to be so
positive that it was hardly expected
that he would make any defence. IL.
E. Bigelow of Kinney, Ballou and Nc
Clanahan, appeared as special counsel
for tne defenuant. Mr.. Blgelow was
retained by friends of the defendant,
VINO appeared at the last moment this
morning and engaged him to look after
the interests of the japanese.
a continuance for week was
asked for by the defence while Deputy
High Sheriff Chillingworth wanted the
case to be continued until tomorrow.
Judge Wilcox stated that the grand
jury was in session and he did not care
10 have any long winded examination
so he would request the officials to
bring the matter to the attention of
the grand jury. Mr.. Chillingworth re-
| piled that this had been attended to
already.
There was a large crowd present in
court to see the prisoner. He was at
tired in an old blue sweater and a rag
ged pair of blue overalls. The man 5
condition bespoke the utmost squalor
and poverty and his attitude was one
of childish Indifference. What defence
will be made in his behalf was not in
dicated at the arraignment this morn
ing. The authorities insist that the de-
fendant is not insane and that the mur-
der was simply a cool blooded premedi-
tated affair. The case was finally set
for next Friday morning.

THE REST METHOD.

The best method of protection yet de-
vised is life insurance. Every man, :sci1I ::tc1I
or poor, owes II to himself his creditors
his family some measure of indemnity
against loss, In proper proportion to mig
means, and commensurate with ris res
possibilities. Life Insurance is a oeces-
sity, not a luxury. AS a charge against
income it is quite as legitimate ls taxes
or fire insurance. Take out q policy in
