THE TEACHING OF ENGLISH.

Yhe special emphasis that Is laid up
81 the teaching Of English in some Of
the schools OF Hawaii has a broader
meaning than many people suppose. one
easily understands that where so many
pupils are OF Hawaiian, Asatic and
Portuguese birth a strict drill in En-
Rlish is needed to enable them to get
0n at all in general studies; bu1 this
tells only half the story. 1t is not
merely that foreigners shall be taught
the language of the country but that
the children of English speaking par
sats shall not have their language cor
Dupted by foreign idioms.

GETTING TOURISTS HERE.

Of last season and the money Increment
will be more than the slS,O0O,00O which
that multitude of sightseers brought

Of men and money TO the coast, Hawaii
surely ought to attract goodly num-
Der and an impressive sum.
The thing to do IN stimulating immi-
aration is to get among these winter
tourists and convince them Of the
charms and healthfulness OF these ISL
ands. 1t can be done by opening agen-
Gle. nj san Francisco and Los Angeles,
where not only literature and products
may be seen but stereopticon views
and moving pictures exhibited. The
usual way has been to tell about the
volcano and the hula girls; but since
Martinique, volcanoes have lost their
power to draw and the hula-girls are
much below par. Stereopticon views OF
civilized Hawaii, of it's scenery, and
urban charms, Of its homes, schools,
churches. hotels, and great business
houses: OF its forests, canefields and
waterfalls: OF its streets and highways
and beaches, would be much more eff
feetive than the old methods Of adver-
Using. For one thing they would re-
move the impression that this is a
barbarian country where a third OF the
people wear grass skirts, another third
have leprosy and the remaining third
are missionary slave-drivers, cracking
their whips.
II is 200 much to hope for the estab-
lishment Of a cyclorama of Honolulu

ASSAULTED AND MURDERED.

ASSA ULIED AND ID mURDEhED'
AS was stated yesterday the body OF
young white woman Was found ST.
urday last 10 the woods near P,t,rs-
burg, o small village in Fsuquier coun-
ty, on the Southern Railway, about
nine miles east of Front Royal. A
negro man known ss William Alex
ander, st the sboye-named date, while
hunting in the woods, discovered the
body and 1t once report ID the facts to
Justice Marshall, who immedi. t sly
summoned ooroner's jury and with
them repaired II the place designated
by William Alexander. There they
found the body OF young woman
about nin San years old, t1st had ep
parently been lying there, or rather
propped against Tree, for about two
months. There was q pistol wound
under her ltf. eye and also q severe
fracture on her forehead, probably
made by the pistol. The body was
very much decomposed, but frozen
parts had been eaten away by the wild
denizens OF the forest and presented
alt 1gether q terrible spectacle. The
spot was lonesome and secluded,
and the murderer for that reason
bid his terrible crime for the period
OF two months. An assault
was indicated by her clctl-
log being torn away. She appeared t1
be- q young girl with beautiful suit OF
golden hair. She was ideL tilted by MIR.
James Jarmau, who lives in that CON-
munity, as Miss Lou Wise, of Salome,
Fauquier county, Virgiuis; tle remains
were also identified by Mr.. John Jar
man ss those OF a woman who was to
come to his house during t ne Christmas
holidays. There is now no doubt as tJ
her Identification. The verdict of the
Jury was that death came by violence
ct the hands OF an unknown party and
tnat an assault, 10 their bsliei, had been
committed. By order Of the Fauquier
county authorities, small hole was
dug In the ground and the body put In
without o coffin. The people OF Lin
den, In Warren county, feeling that this
was rather barbsrous method OF bury
lug human being, purchased coffin
and had the remains exbumed and re-
moved to the Methodist burying ground
at Linden. There is O good clue as to
the murderer, and it islto be hoped that
he will soon be brought to justice.
