The feroclous cat was growing,
snarling and digging its hind feet into

Hazard remembering the fragile ma

fearful force. At the same time he
tried to draw his right arm from the
fearful fangs OF the creatures mouth.
He could not do it. but found he could
slowly slip his arm down toward the
wrist.
Slowly but surely he worked it be-
tween the cruel teeth. He reached the
elbow; and the big cat chewed and
growled, and clawed and struggled to
gain it's feet. Then the fangs had
gashed their way half way down the
forearm. and still the terrific struggle
between man and beast, both fighting
for their lives. Then the wrist was
prisoner between the cleaning molars,
and Hazards knees were grinding

But another stroke Of luck came

a snap, the leOpard's ribs caved in.
A last yelping, snarling moan Of pair;
a last desperate struggle to gain its
feet; a last sweep of the razor-like
claws; last crunch of the cruel fangs,
and all in a moment the beast went

The suburban passenger train was
due to leave Anaconda for the West,
and unless it was stopped OF the runa-

agent at Eclipse, and wrapping the

ON
NEGRO LABOR
DOES NOT THINK LOCAL MAN
Ayers APPRECIATE THE TRUE
SOUTHERN FIELD HAND.

Commissioner T. Thomas Fortune
who while looking into the labor pro-
blem of these islands, has suggested as
solution, the Importation of negro
labor from the plantations of the South
ern states of America, has been promi-
nent in the general interests of the
negro race for the past twenty years.
He believes implicitly in negro capacity
for field work in the tropics and their
adaptability to become good citizens,
quoting many instances of their having
been found superior to Italian and other
imported labor under trying conditions;
and citing them as having rendered the
South what it is today in redeeming it
from its natural wildness to a cultivat-
ed land.
Il do not think, " says Mr. Fortune,
that those who object so strongly to
the Introduction of negro labor here
have seen the true plantation laborer.
There are one or two Southerners here
who know the class of people l mean
and they will uphold me as to their
fitness for the work The true negro
is a different individual from the half
breed tinctured with the ambition of
the white unitedto the natural shirk-
ing of responsibility of the negro. 1t
makes a bad combination. And in a
milder degree this is true of the class
that has come here and which has been
culled from BARRIERS, walters, touts, dock
hands and the riff raft of Southern
cities spoiled for work by their closer
association with white mans ways
which they initiate but do not emulate,
THE true negro agriculturist can I
grant not be easily persuaded to leave
but it is a possibility, if you go at it
the right way and get men like Booker
a h in OFT
others who have the interests of the
race truly at heart, to get the supply
for you. Southern negroes are grow
ing more dissatisfied with their home
conditions every year"
Fred Meyer, manager of the Waianae
Company, himself a Southerner, is
quoted as having already advanced the
propriety of bringing negro labor here,
provided certain conditions were OBJ
served. These regulations tally exactly
with the scheme formulated by Mr..
Fortune and consist of making little
colonies for the negroes, not requiring
them to commingle with other classes
of labor after work hours or, if possible
during it. Other Southerners who know
the great difference existing between
the ranks of Southern darkies, express
the same view.
Commissioner Fortune is acting in
connection with a big rubber planta-
ton on the Congo in West Africa and
will endeavor to supply them with
negro labor for use on their plantations.
The shipment of negroes back to their
home country, and close to their orr
ginal settlements, after an absence of
four generations seems to many like
the sending of Goals to Newcastle but
Mr.. Fortune explains that the native
labor on the Congo settlements does
not work intelligently being prone to
cut down and destroy the rubber trees
altogether at one sapping instead OF
so tapping them that they will be avail
able the ensuing season.

BOXER
UPRISING FEARED
SHANTUNG BOXER CHIEFS IN
ING PROPAGANDA OF REVENGE.

SHANGHAI, December 2-The North
China Daily News says:
A serious report and one that is preg-
nant with danger and menace to the
peace and safety this winter of foreign
ers in the interior towns, especially of
Chilli province, is published in local
vernacular paper, the truth of which
report we are expected to accept, as
corroborative news has already been
received here at various times, some
of which has appeared in these notes"
This is the report that Chilli is being
gradually again invaded, as in 1900, by
Boxer propagandists from Shantung
the land of the Society's birth, and
that the invaders are finding not the
least difficulty in obtaining proselytes,
as in 1900. In the present instance, as
stated in the vernacular paper in ques-
ton, band of some thirty odd Boxer
Chiefs" have lately appeared in the
district cities of Chingyunhsien and
Yenshanhsien, having come over from
Shantung by coast junks. The ruling,
and therefore more dangerous, idea in
the propaganda of this special body of
Boxers, is that of revenge for the dis
asters suffered by the members of the
Society in 1900 and 1901 at the hands of
the Allies. For this reason this new
body of Shantung Boxers are all at
tired IN white mourning clothes, ana
care is taken by them to make known
to all whom they meet that they are
| intent on avenging the deaths of their
comrades who fell in 1900 and 1901, at
! the hands of the Western "barbarians,"
| and that never will this mourning at
tire be Invested until the deaths of the
martyrs of two years ago be avenged
| by TIE slaughter of one foreign life for
each Boxer life taken by the Allies"
1t is stated that recruits in large num-
bers are joining this body of Boxers,
and that the officials of that part Of
Chilli are getting seriously alarmed.

IN MEMORY OF

PUPILS OF KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOL
RENDER IMPRESSIVE MEMO
RIAL SERVICES.
$27O,444.72"

The annual memorial services of .Ka-
mehameha Schools were conducted to-
day in the grounds of the mausoleum in
Nuuanu valley according to the reg
ular custom in memoriam of the found
er, Bernice Pauahi Bishop.
The older boys in cadet gray, the
younger, members of the preparatory
classes, in white blouses and knicker-
boukers with black cap, ties, shoes and
stockings and the girls, from childhood
to early womanhood, dressed in white
filed this morning from the Kameha-
meha school premises to Nuuanu valley,
led by the territorial band and marshall
ed by officers of the National guard and
their own supervisors.
Approaching the mausoleum the
march slowed to the solemn music of
the band and the procession took it's
place in regular formation around the
monument erected to the founder and
the Kamehameha dynasty. Concerted
music was sung by all the pupils and

Pauahi" rendered by the clear voices of
the girls, now enjoying the advantages
of the founders royal endowment, and
who every year send a call across the
years into the beyond in recognition Of
her bounty
The court that surrounds the monu-
ment was then stTewn with white mar
guerites, golden marigolds and white
carnation leis and the pupils with or
derby precision left the mausoleum
grounds, the band playing Nearer My
, God to Thee" in slow time. The pro-
cession reformed with the boys at the
head, followed by the preparatory
scholars and the girls, each company of
boys carrying the banner of their
school. They turned toward the noun
tains taking the upper route back to the
schools on account of the muddy con-
clifton of the lower road.
This afternoon luau will be held at
the schools and this evening memorial
services conducted in the Bishop Chapel
when addresses will be made by Bishop
Restarick and the Rev. Henry Parker
in English and Hawaiian. These SER
vices former students are especially in

and in case of new railroad, $101, 709. 95,
would Indicate that such works were
not lightly undertaken but were in the
nature of business necessities.
The law does not specify how a loss
must be incurred, though it is reason-
able to suppose that 1t is intended to
cover any loss properly incurred in
connection with the business concern
ed. In this case it appears that the
abandonment of the old mill and prop
critics were required of appellant and
not sought by it,"
The decision quotes a federal case in
support of the principle that in assess
ment of tax ut is excess of value of
new over the old that the law is in
tended to reach. The law of this Ter
ritory provides that no deductions shall
be, made to increase the value of any
property or estate: A fair interpreta-
ton of this is that such improvements
are taxable so far as they do increase
the value of the property or estate, and
to determine such increase a deduction
is permitted for actual loss.
'As to the amount of such loss in
this case, specific details and figures
are not given, but an estimate is fur
nished by witnesses of character and
standing in the community, one of
whom has great familiarity with the
sugar industry in general, and as man
ager, with the mill and plantation
property of the appellant in particular.
1T is in evidence that the amount
necessary to replace the old properties
superseded and abandoned would be
not less than $S60,O00. The claim for
loss of $27O, 444.72 does not by compare
son appear unreasonable under the
conditions.
