Superstition is more prevalent

"and even the hard-headed intelligent
farmers are, to a certain extent, af-

years old, a man of more than ordi-

acres of fine land, well stocked, and
who had several thousand dollars in
bonds and other securities, why he did
not build himself better house. The

Considerable progress is being made
In connection with the movement for
providing school for Maori girls. His
excellency the governor and Lady Ran
furly have, in furtherance of the
scheme, recently had a most interest
ing gathering in the ballroom at Gov
ernment House, Wellington.
At one end of the room was a group
OF Maori chiefs, their dark faces and
grizzled heads forming a picturesque
dado round the cleaning amber-col
ored walls. To some of the chiefs
present their surroundings must have
been strange, though they never lost
their self-possession or dignity and
their eyes never wandered down the
rows OF people Ia idle curiosity. A few
of them carried meres or clubs. The
governor in a short opening speech i'm
pressed on his hearers the necessity Of
educating the Maori girls, the future
wives and mothers of the race. Among
the more prominent items Of the pro-
gramme was a Maori song by the
chiefs. Then Rev. f. Bennett Zone of
the native race), who is devoting him
self to this crusade, addressed the
gathering.
In picturesque metaphor he showed
the necessity Of aiding the Maoris to-
day, who. IL official returns are to be
believed, and no aid comes from their
white brothers, are dying as a race.
In speaking about the question Of
dress, Mr.. Bennett told a humorous
tale OF an old Maori who came into a

miles away. one hot summers day. He
had little money and wanted to buy
European clothes in the store. He
stood puzzled by the choice Of rail-

strutted in the sunshine outside, his
bare legs showing below the coat. All
day he showed off his finery in the
streets, but in the evening Mr.. Bennett
found him sitting outside hut with
nothing but a shawl twisted around
his waist Where are your clothes?"
asked the clergyman. 'Too hot; no
good" said the old man.
In summer money is fairly plentiful
with the Maoris, and the natives buy
clothes and wear flannel and sub
stantial materials. In winter, when
money is scarce, they are often reduced
to straits, and their clothing is OF the
most flimsy nature. This causes great
mortality. The little children especial
ly suffer through the ignorance Of their
mothers, and Mr.. Bennett gave many
sad instances where knowledge OF
diet and nursing would have saved the
lives OF the babies. In one district
the poor Maori mothers were told nour

used il raw, mixed with water, and

It was particularly noticed at the

WHERE THE REFUGEES WENT.
While the buildings were roaring fur
naces scores upon scores of Orientals
of all ages gathered like frightened
animals in the vicinity of their burn
inb abodes and the majority wore be-
Wildered faces. Some stood about
stoically. and with uncnanging de-
meanors saw their small fortunes go
up in smoke. There were many who
had saved nothing but the scanty
raiment they wore when they escaped
from their sleeping quarters. A we'll

attic rescue of a japanese woman
from a blazing structure on River street
between Hotel and Pauahi. Most of
the inmates of the building had already
bed clothing and wearing apparel, when
Captain Kanae saw a japanese woman
climbing out Of a room through a win
dow onto a wooden awning over the
sidewalk Fearing that she would jump
to the street the officer yelled to her
to stop where she was. Behind her the
smoke tumbled furiously through the
room and out of the upper part of the
window, and she was seemingly in
great danger. The woman hesitated
and Kanae climbed a telephone pole,
stepped upon the awning and the wo-I
man mounted upon his back closing
her arms around his neck. In this
manner the Captain descended the pole
to the ground in safety. When he was
about to climb the pole he carried a
shotgun which he had taken from an
Oriental. and he handed the weapon
to native woman on the opposite
sidewalk. When he returned both the
woman and the gun were gone. Cap

County Finances.

The Auditors report shows a
healthy reduction of county indebted
ness during the last quarter. The
County Commissioners have levied
the same rate of taxation for 1902
as for the year past, being So. 50 on
the slOO-including, of course. the
State tax. The reduction of the
old Indebtedness already effected, on
account of the license revenues and
increased realty valuations due en-
tlrely to Tonopah, together with the
unexpected continuance of the high
levy, ought to raise the market value
OF county warrants or scrip well on
to par, even without taking into
count such an important factor as
the coming bullion tax. All charges
against Nye county except salaries
will be reduced in exact proportion
to enhanced quotations ON scrip, thus
materially aiding in the work of plac-
ing our county financial affairs on
cash basis. The net reduction of the
outstanding indebtedness during the
past three months was 1928 46. !
with remaining cash in the treasury
to the amount of 1888 A.

OLD BILL
Presented by Akron
Gas Co.
Board Will Investigate Before
Paying It..

A bill for $12O was presented to the
city Tuesday by the Akron Gas Co.
The claim is that the amount was de-
posted in 1897 to cover the expense cf
relaying certain paving torn up while
pipes were being laid.
The Commissioners have taken no
action on the bill, claiming that there
is no record of it on the city books.
1t will be recalled that the Supreme
Court has decided a case against the
city, directing it to pay the Akron
Gas Co. $500, claimed for furnishing
gas to the old City Building. The
city had tried to offset the bill by
one of an equal amount for the relay
ing of pavements on streets torn up
by the company while laying pipe.
1t is now a question with the Board
whether the bill presented Tuesday is
part of the claim for $500, or an
extra amount. At any rate, there will
be some investigation before the bill
for $120 is paid.
