Mrs. Fair are known to have made
more than one will. Fair. 1t is said,
made at least three. His will which
is in the possession Of Messrs. Knight
and Heggerty. was made in April, 1900.
Before the discovery of Mrs. Fairs
will yesterday the attorneys were Of
the opinion that II was made some
time after her husband made his, but
the comparison of the date line of
both wills disclosed that they were
both made on the same day.
Charles Fair was peculiar about his
private affairs. He scarcely ever
discussed his private business mat.
tiers with anybody, and the fact that
the attorneys are rather reluctant to
discuss the provisions of the two wills
or even to give out the date when they
were made is taken to indicate that
they are not absolutely certain that
they are in possession Of the last will
OF the deceased When il comes to
discussing the will Of either Mr.. or
Mrs. Fair the attorneys generalize and

Wills and other legal documents dis
posing of vast estates which they un-

Senator Fairs property has probably
filled them with all sorts of fears OF
what might happen in the matter of
the existence and subsequent produc.
tion Of other wills.
1t is a little early in the day for any
thing OF a real hostile nature to deSel-
op in the impending squabble, but the
war clouds are gathering on the legal
horizon and 1t is not Unlikely that the
Fair millions will be again sifted
through the nets of legal controversy.

MISTAKES OF Do-NoTHINGISM.

blessed be they who do nothing,
for they shall make no mistakes"
Taking this for a text II. A. French,
general manager OF the Sacramento
Chamber Of Commerce reads the people
OF his city a lecture which touches
many points common to the character
OF Honolulu. He tells his fellow citi-
zens that the community where the
tendency to find fault is far greater
than the tendency to praise, is in bad
way in the march toward prosperity.
, Just at the present time this city
seems to be in fair way to get out OF
the ruts OF ponderous Incidence and
ready to do something without being
oveTawed by fear OF mistakes, The
knoCker is still at work but the prod
ucts OF some of the more recent depar-
lures from old time sluggishness are
aiding materially in putting this retro
gressive agent in the back ground.
A few days ago the Merchants AS
ISOLATION heard a report from its Fair
committee showing a balance on hand,
after having engaged in an enterprise
which many predicted would be a ques
tionable venture II not a fiat failure on
account Of depressed business condi-
tons. Merchants were cautioned TO do
nothing and make no mistakes. They
decided to take the chance, risk the
mistake, but to act at all hazards. The
Merchants Fair was a success from
the start to the final balancing OF ac-
counts 1t Cheered up the town. People
began to think Of something besides
hard times.
On Friday afternoon the combined
business bodies listened to the formal
report OF the Commissioner sent to
Washington to obtain an appropriation

not obtaining all that was sought the
business men are quite satisfied. II il

Mercantile and commercial leader,
now have under consideration the de.

years, il is decided TO avoid mistake:
by doing nothing. Errors have been
made in the past. 1t will be remark,
able If errors are not made in the fu-

demonstrate what Is to be gained by
