WENDELIN RESIGNS
ASKS TO BE RECALLED FROM
MOLOKAI.
The Catholic Priest About Whom the
Board of Health Got Into Tumult
Wants to Leave The Settlement.

Rev. Father Wendeln Moellers who
has been the Catholic priest stationed
at the Leper Settlement on Molokai for
the past fifteen years, it is understood,
has asked to be recalled. He is known
as Father Wendelin, and 1t is he whose
permit to remain at the settlement was
revoked by the Board of Health some
weeks ago, the revocation itself being
rescinded sometime later on the earnest
representation of a large number Of
citizens.
Report had IT that Father Wendelin
had resigned. but as under the rules Of
the order to which he belongs, which
has charge of the catholic work i'm these
islands he could not resign, but could
only request his bishop to recall him,
this latter is the form his expression of
desire to be relieved from the work in
the leper settlmnt has taken
Bishop Gulstan is now on a visit to
the mainland for the benefit of his
health. In his absence, the NiCar-Gen-
eral of the mission, Father Matthias,
has charge of such matters. Vicar
General Matthias however declines to
say anything about the matter, either
to confirm or deny the report Father
Valentine said he had heard It stated
through other than church sources that
Father Wendelin had resigned. but that
nothing more than request to be re-
( called if indeed Father Wendelin had
| expressed any wish or desire to leave
/ that work Such a request if made
/ would be addressed to the bishop or IN
/ his absence to the vicar general. Father
Matthias, and the fact of it having beer
! made, If 1t had been, would only bt
| made public by them.
| However, from reports from the set.
J tlement there seems little or no dOub
| but that Father Wendeln has made
such a request, and it is probably now
/ i'm the hands of the Vicar-General
! Whether he will take any action in tin,
matter during the bishops absence, IL
/ not known. 1t is thought by thos,
! familiar with the work of the misslor
/ that he will not, especially as the Bish
/ ops absence is not expected to be o
Ilong duration.
Father Wendelin, is said by those whit
| know him to be a man of great piety
purify of mind, and strong and acut
| sensibiities on breaches Of the mora
code, and that whatever opposition n
has aroused in his work among the peo
pie of the settlement has grown out O
his expression of these strong senti
| 0ents and convictions.

KILAUEA WARMING UP THOUSANDS ARE LOST
FIRE AT WASHINGTON MERCAN-
TILE COMPANY.
Water Damages Stock of Company and
Ruins $4,000 Worth of Goods Belong
ing to ]. p. Rodrigues.

A smouldering fire in the two story
brick building on the makai Eva corner
of Queen and Fort streets this morn
ing, was the cause Of thousands of
dollars worth of damage being done to
the stock of the Washington Mercantile
Company and j. p. ROdrigues, the tai
lor. Most of the damage was caused
by water, as the fire did not spring INTO
a blaze of any size.
The origin of the fire is not known. M.
J. Bissel, the manager of the Washing
ton Mercantile Company, expressed the
opinion that in some manner, it might
have started underneath the stairway,
as a large quantity of paper bags was
kept in that portion of the store.
Wherever the fire started, it smould-
cred for hours. At 2:35 a. m. a police
officer happened to stop on the steps Of
the Hackfeld building to wait a couple
of minutes before turning in his patrol
call to the police station and, happen
ing to glance across the street, he saw
the smoke coming from the front of the
washington Mercantile COmpany's store
He went to the Mercantile cOmpany's
door and felt the woodwork and discoV-
cred that it was very hot There was
no blaze to be seen inside the store
which was filled with smoke. An alarm
of fire was turned in by the officer and
the department responded promptly
The location of the fire could not posi-
lively be determined, so the firemen had
to pour large quantities Of water into
the building before the fire was finally
put OUT
The Washington Mercantile Company
carried stock of between $4,000 and
$4,000 the store, with insurance Of
/ SIS 600. How much of this stock was
damaged can not be determined posi-
! lively until an appraisement of the
stock shall have been made at the ware
house of the Union Feed Company
| The loss will run probably into the
| thousands
| J. p. Rodrigues the tailor had small
store on the Fort street side of the
| building. He carried stock valued al
$4,000, on which there was insurance
of about 81 200 All of the stock was
! damaged by smoke and water. J. Fries
had a notary public desk room with
Rodrigues, Frias' loss viii be slight.
The damage to the building will alsC
amount to several thousand dollars, as
much of the interior woodwork was
burnt out and much damage was alsC
done by smoke and water.
The Washington Mercantile Company
! will open temporary offices in the ole
feed warehouse in Fort street just ma
kai of their former store.
The printing establishment of EC
| ToWse and Company occupied the sec
ond story of the building. Little dam
age was done to the printing shop al
the fire did not get up there and oni!
the smoke entered the upper portion o
the building.

LAVA HAS INCREASED IN THE
SMALL PIT.
Latest News From The Scene of Vol
canic Activity Brought This Morning
BY the Steamer Kaiulani.

The activity of Kilauea is steadily in
creasing. News of the progress of the
volcano was brought this morning by
the steamer Kaiulani which arrived
from Hilo and Hawaii ports. The Kaiu-
lani left Hilo last Monday three days
after the Kinau which, up to today, had
brought the latest news OF the eruption
Yesterday the Kaiulani left Kawaihae
so she has six days later news tnan
that by the Kinau.
The lava in Halemaumau is reported
10 be rising Only when the winds blow
the smoke and steam aside however,
can the lava be seen. Manager Wald-
ron reported on yesterday to the ope-
rator at Kawaihae, that the volcano
was about the same and the condition
had not changed much during the past
few days. There might perhaps have
been an increase in the volume of
smoke and steam and a slight increase
in the fire at night but the difference
has not been of a startling character.
The officers of the Kaiulani thought
they could see the reflection of the fire
from Hilo during the nights of their
stay in that port.
Large crowds have gone to the vol
canO house from Hilo and, according
to advices, the place must be crowded
with guests.
Smoke was also reported to be coming
~ small quantities from MokuaweoweO
the summit crater of Mauna Loa.'
The Kaiulani brought back a big
load of sugar and 65 head of cattle, the
live stock being loaded at Kawaihae.
Captain j. Dover received painful
injury while experimenting the loading
of the cattle aboard the steamer yester-
day. He was seated on the steamer
rail- when a steer showed it's head
against him and knocked him into the
water. Just as Dover fell forward, g
boat with number of cattle tied abou
the side. came alongside. Dover fel
into the water and his right eye strucl
against the horn of one of the steers
cutting the flesh very severely anC
buising the eye.
The cattle were unloaded this morn
ing at the cattle pen. Some of then
were wild and the task of transferring
them from the tseamer deck to the pei
was a very risky business One of tn,
steers got loose and after chasing all o
the sailors over the rails, ran up th
forward companionway onto the for
ward deck house. 1t looked for a few
minutes as if the steer intended jump
ing overheard but the sailors hurried
after him and drove him down onto tn
main deck again where he was put int
the sling and lifted over the rail ant
deposited in the cattle pen.

 A man who has made something Of a study on this line writes from Iowa City When I first tried Grape-Nuts it was at the table of a prominent State official and the remarkable taste attracted me. l afterwards investigated the subject care fully and discovered that Grap0-Nuts contains dcxtrose sugar. The starchy part of the food is transformed into starch sugar or dextrose. Those same re- suits are produced by the digestive or Eans by the action of the saliva and the pancr2atic juices on starchy foods. These facts convinced me that Grape-Nuts is a natural. pre-digested food and just what I required and needed.

A Car, A Spring,
 A Frightened Horse.
@Fe.e.@=s@@=s...

minor accident to car on the Court Street line of the Montgomery Street Railroad Company yesterday afternoon caused a horse attached to. a buggy to run away, upset the equilibrium of the motorman and conductor, gave the Das- sengers on the car some annoyance and caused much merriment for pedestrians in the vicinity of Adams and Court Street.
 The car, filled with passengers, was rattiing south on Court Street about 2 o'clock when one of the big springs un- der the body of the car, one of the springs that are supposed to give com tort 10 the occupants of the. cars but do not. became unloosencd and fell from street.
 Hi. dere." screamed a street gamin to the motorman. "yer cars comin' ter pieces" as the big spring rolled toward the gutter.
 A fiery horse attached to a buggy stood in front of the residence of Colonel Rob- ert +. Ligon. The spring went careening in the direction of the animal which pricked up his cars, looked surprised and began to stamp his feet. Closer came the spring and the now thoroughly terror ized horse broke his fastenings and dash ed into Church Street taking the vehicle with him
 By this time the car spring had found lodgment in tho gutter and the motorman had stopped the car.
 Back her up," called the Conductor. Then gazing intently at the fleeing horse he asked d dsntercsted passenger: Whose horse is that?"
 How dye spose know,' retorted the passenger. "I guess he left the scene because he expected the whole car to come to pieces"
 The runaway horse was stopped on Church Street and no damage was done to the buggy. Tho motorman and con ductor. laughing as though something very funny had occurred. picked up the spring from the gutter. placed 1t inside of the car and proceeded on their way.
