NO HOLE IN THE STREET.
An Irish Witness So Testified and Justi-

A score of witnesses had orn that

''No, sor," was the emphatic an

'FWhat?" said the attorney; "no

was a big hole. You must be mis-

''No, sor, I'm not there was no hole

COST OF OCEAN CABLES.
Too Great to Compete with Success
full Wireless System.

From an Authoritative" article IN
the Century, we take this note apro-
pos of Marconi's work in wireless tel
egraphy;
Mr. Marconi believes that his sys-
tenn may become a formidable COM
petitor against the ocean cables. To
do so on land is not so easy, as the
lines there cost only $500 mile,
whereas the cables cost 81 900 a mile
and require expensive steamers to re-
pair and maintain them. A transat-
lantic cable represents an initial out
lay of at least $3,000,000, besides the.
cost of its maintenance. A Marconl
station can be built for $50, 900. Three
of these, bringing the two worlds into
contact, will cost only $100,000, while.
their maintenance should be insig-
nifcant. What his success will mean
can be best grasped by considering
the extent Of the property which
would be displaced thereby, although
it is only since August 5, 1858, 43
years ago, that the first Atlantic
cable was laid. There are now IA.

seven times. These require a great.
number Of ocean-going cable steamers.
for their laying and repairs, and while
the total value Of thecables cannot be
easily computed, it is known to be a
fact that British capitalists have
S100,000,0OO invested in cable stock.

THE GOEBEL MURDER.
Former Kentucky Sheriff Tells Sen
sational Story.

Henry Broughton, according to
the Courier-Journal, former sheriff
of Bell County, Kentucky, told a
sensational story Monday on the
witness stand in the Berry Howard
case and made some startling adj
missions on cross examination. He
asserted that he aided in getting
together a crowd of mountain men
to send to Frankfort, knowing that
the plan was to have Goebel killed
on January Is. He said he gave to
Caleb Powers, at Powers request,
the names of three men who could
be secured to assassinate Goebel.
These men were Frank Cecil, Zach
Steele and Jake Van Bibber, all OF
Bell County. He made many other
statements equally as astounding,
aud admitted that he had expressed
his pleasure when he heard of the
assassination, and that he had pro-
tected Berry Howard from arrest
until rule was issued against him
in the Franklin Circuit Court.
Broughton's brother, Anthony
Broughton, corroborated his testi.
mony relative to the Powers Incl
dent, and in some other particulars,
Other important witnesses were
Mrs. Irene Davis, of Versailles, Mo-,
and F. Wharton Golden.

PEPPER AS A SMOKE CURE
Young Woman Follows Cousins Adviee
with Apparently Good Results.

with OOVo NSS0ANSS |
One Of the trials Of young mar
ried woman who lives on the East side,
so near the lake that she can look
from her back window out on its icy
bosom, has a cousin but few years
younger than herself. He is young
man, extremely fond Of joke-on
others-and seems to think that his
pretty cousin is better subject than
anyone else.
She rarely gets angry, but joins in
the laughter as if she were the joker
and he the joked. His latest was sug-
gested to him a few days ago by a
coal wagon backed up at the woodshed
coal hole. From the seat Of the wagon
to the top Of the shed was an easy
step, and from place Of vantage to
the roof of the house was another.
From the chimney Of the house smoke
was pouring out in heavy volumes.
On the clothesline that stretched
across the yard hung a piece Of carpet.
1t did not take him long to decide
that it would be Gust lots of fun" to
place that carpet and board over the
chimney and then step into the house
and watch proceedings.
They came, sure enough, and the
room was soon filled with smoke. The
young housewife poled the ashes
from in front Of the stove, shook the
CRATE and danced around in great
alarm when she found that her efforts
we're in vain. Her reprobate cousin
stood around and tried to show deep
concern. Finally, out Of the good
ness Of his heart, he offered to tell her
how to stop the smoke.
She was only too glad to be advised,
but when he told her to put pepper in
the stove she was inclined to think
that the advice was worthless. Never
theless, as a last resort, she threw
handful Of pepper in the fire. Her
worthless cousin then quietly stepped
out through the back door, removed
the carpet and came in again. Not
suspecting the significance of his leav-
ing the room, the young woman was
so grateful for the pepper-in-the-fire
suggestion that she rewarded him

SCHOOL BOARDS MEET.

The Board of Education, tht
Board Of Mayor and Alderman
and the Board of Directors of the
Union City Training School held
meeting at the mayors office last
Monday. The meeting was called
for the purpose Of discussing the
school situation in this city and to
take such steps as those present
deemed best for the further ad
vancement of educational interests
here. The meeting was harmo
NOUS one indeed and every man
present was heartily in favor of all
working together for the better
ment of our schools.
Hon. Seid Waddell, of the
Training School, was present and
made short talk. He favored
good schools, high grades; paid a
very high compliment to tie city
public schools, and said it was not
the purpose of any of the Training
School directors to lower the
grades of the public schools, but
to raise them higher if possible.
He said if the school boards would
get together, and work harmonl-
ously, and charge non-residents
the same rate of tuition, both
schools would be greatly benefit
ted.
All the gentlemen present heart
| lily Endorsed the views of Mr..
WaddelI, and finally, the following
gentlemen were appointed as q
committee to investigate the mat
ter and adopt uniform rate of
tuition:

This committee held a meeting
in w. H. Gardeners Office Tuesday
morning, aud after thoroughly
discussing the matter, fixed the
rates as follows:
Sixth and seventh grades, s.
per month; eighth and ninth
grades, 81 per month; all grades
above the ninth, IS per month
OF course this only applies to non
residents, as those living inside the
city limits are entitled to all bene
fits of the city public schools free
of charge.
The Boards of both schools
thoroughly understand each othel
and all are determined that the
schools of the school year 1902
1908 shall be the best in the histo
ry of the town.
Since the resignation of Prof
D. A. Williams, the directors O
the Training School, who were re

Robinson Proposes Jones and Reynolds
But the Courts VIII Probably Con-
tinue as They Are.

A quiet campaign has been going on

stenOgraphers positions since Judge
Robinson took office 1t was supposed
that another stenographer would be
appointed and there were a number of
applications, but it is now stated that
there Will be no regular appOintee, but
the plan of assigning a reporter as one
Is needed will be followed.
The appropriation for court reporters
is $4O0 a month. Col j. w. Jones and
Miss de Cew are the reporters now.
When Judge Robinson went i'm it was
reported that he would appoint G.. t.
Reynolds who is the official reporter of

The plan proposed by Judge Robin
son is said to have been the appoint
Inent of Jones and Reynolds as the
regular stenOgraphers, allowing them
to draw the $4OO a month that is avail
able and looking to them to keep the
three courts supplied with reporters.
Under this plan they would have had
to employ assistants themselves and
would have run the business as a sort
of contract. The other judges, how
ever, did not approve the scheme, and
il fell through.
Humphreys stated this morning that
no further appointment of a regular
stenographer would be made, and that
he did not favor the idea of giving
the work to Jones and Reynolds. "I
do not see why they should be called
on to give up any salary, for the pay
of assistants" he said. Moreover, the
plan would mean that Miss de Cew

SCHOONER BROTHERS HAS EN-
CITING TIME.
Narrowly Escaped Being Piled Up on
Mololkai and Later at Kahului-Ed-
ward May in Distress.

The first trip Of the gasoline schoon-
er Brothers on the paiai contract to
deliver that stun between Kahului and
Kalaupapa, proved a very exciting eN-
perience and had not Herbert Young,
the captain, undergone great personal
inconvenience the vessel would have
been lost.
She left Kahului on Thursday morn
ing of last week and arrived of Na-
lGupapa on Friday morning. The
weather was so bad that Young realiz-
ed it would be impossible to land the
paiai at the settlement and as there
was a strong sOutheaster blowing, he
headed to the eastward Of Kalaupapa
about five miles for shelter. The wind
suddenly shifted to the northwest and
the sea began breaking over the ves-
sci. Young realized that unless he got
out of the place he would be piled on
to the rocks. He took his small boat
and slipped the two anchors and then
headed out leaving the boat and an
chors behind. Two big waves broke
over the little vessel as she was get
ting out of the anchorage but she
shook them off and got over to Ka-
hului in three hours and fifteen min
utes.
At Kahului on Sunday the weather
was exceedingly rough. The bark Ed
ward May dragged her anchors and
three, elBnL lnCn stern lines Sudppeu
aS if they had been fish lines Signals
were set up for the pilot to come to
her assistance, toward the evening.
The boat boys tried to make her fast
to the buoy again, but the buoy was
in the breakers and the lines could
not be secured. The boat had to make
the best of her trouble but as the gale
subsequently moderated, the May did
not hit the bottom.
The Brothers parted her mOOring
chain and had not a line been sent to
Captain Young by the master of the
schooner James Rolph, the little ves-
sci would have been swept ashore.
Another attempt was made this week
to. get to Kalaupapa but the weather
was so rough that Young abandoned
the idea and returned to Honolulu yes
terday. He started out originally from
Kahului with $50 bags of paiai but in
order to tighten the vessel during the
rough seas all but SO sacks had to be
cast overheard. The remainder of
the stuff was sold at auction this
morning at the Old Fishmarket wharf.
Captain Young declares that the
Brothers is a fine sea boat and is able
to handle herself in the rough weather
encountered in these waters
The schooner James RolPh was eX-
pected to sail for San Francisco today
while the Edward May was already
loaded and was waiting for a steamer

Asked TO Contribute Funds to the
Cathedral From Which They Have
Been Securely Locked out.

Objection is expressed and much in
dignation Is felt among members Of the
Second Congregation of st. Andrews
and other contributors to the funds
with which the present cathedral
structure has been built at the present
determination of the bishop and his
followers to cOnsecrate the cathedral in
its present unfinished state
The prime objection mace is that to
COnsecrate It in It's present state will
d. to handicap all future efforts to COM
plete the structure according to the orr
ginal or modified plans, or the hopes Of
all ChurChmen. 1t is said that after an
episcopal church is once consecrated
no changes can then ever be made in
IL which viii involve q lien upon the
building Thus after the Cathedral has
been COnseCrated. If at any time it
should be attempted to complete the
structure of which the present is only a
small part the whole amount required
to complete it would have to be actually
i'm hand before a brick could be laid or
single move made; otherwise a debt
would be incurred which would be a
/ lien on a consecrated building. Thus,
as the proposition has been more con-
cretely put, If the contemplated inn
IprOVementS would cost 500 600 and only
$4,000 were in hand though the other
$1,000 in ~ reason could be expected to
/ be raised by the time il would be need
| ed. nothing could be done. The whole
100000 would have to be actually in
| hand before the work could begin.
| While the building is unfinished, and
! yet it may be expected that IL can be
finished in the course of a few years.
| 1t is insisted that there is no call for a
conservation of a building from which
! the majority Of those interested in it
and contributing to it, have been lock-
ed out
The American bishops or the Ameri-
can church has not asked that It be
consecrated. Neither has there been
any desire expressed for its consecra-
tion at this time by any large portion
of the local churchmen, it is said.
1t is cause Of considerable indigna-
ton that the circular letter issued by
the bishops wardens asking for dona-
tions to enable the unfinished building
TO be consecrated at this time has been
sent to members Of the Second Congre-
cation which the bishop has sought to
destrC- anu has prevented from wor-
shipping as body in the cathedral. A
number of prominent members Of the
Second Congregation, have expressed
/ lhe nope that none Of the members of
! that congregation will contribute to this
! purpose. bat viii reserve their contrfbu-
tions for fund to complete the edifce
when the whole church can with salts
