YOUNGER A SUICIDE.

James Younger, a. compatriot of
Jesse James, committed suicide re-
Gently by shooting. Younger was
not long ago paroled from the Still
water, Minn., Penitentiary.
Younger was engaged to Miss Alice
Miller, pretty girl who lived in
Saltwater. She fell in love with
him when he was in prison garb and
they hoped to be married when his
parole was granted, but it was found
that under the laws of Minnesota
Younger, as a life convict, was le-
gally dead and therefore could not
be married until he had secured a
full pardon, which he found it i'm
possible to obtain. This disappoint-
ment in love, after all his other hard
ships, led to his self.destruction.

LIFE's MIRROR.

There are loyal hearts, there are spirits
brave,
There are souls that are pure and true;
Then give to the world the best you have,
And the best will come back to you.
Give love, and love to your life will flow,
A strength in your utmost need;
Have faith, and score of hearts will show
Their faith in your word and deed.
Give truth, and your gift will be paid in
kind,
And honor will honor meet;
And a smile that Is sweet will surely tiud
A smile that is just as sweet.
For life Is the mirror of king and slave,
'Tis just what we are and 10,
Then give to the world the best you have,
Aud the best will come back to you.

WAITED, BUT NO BRIDE.

Frederick w. Wright, of Cash
Point. Essex county. Va, walked into
a Baltimore police station Saturday
and asked the police to find the girl
he expected to marry that day.
Last Thursday Miles Garnett and
Miss Harper were welded at Cash
Point and came to Baltimore on a
wedding trip. They were accom-
panied by Miss Hossie Belle Harper,
sister of the bride, who was maid Of
honor at the wedding; Frederick w.
Wright, who was best man, and
Roland Garnett, cousin of the groom.
Wright had been attentive to the
brides sister for some time, and
while they were here they planned to
take the others in the party by sur
prise and get married. He went to
the courthouse and got the license,
but when he returned to the appointed
place, he found no girl. He waited
four hours, and then found that the
girl had gone with the other to
Washington. He said he believed
Miss Harper had eloped with Garnett.

TWO CORKERS.

Here are two pretty good yarns as
news items going tie rounds of the
press:
When firemen broke into an un-
occupied factory in New York they
found an old man on the third story
unconscious from smoke. They car
ried him to the barber shop next
door, where he was resuscitated with
bay rum.
Then the Hospital surgeon dag.
nosed his case as alcoholism, and ne
was locked up in the west Twentieth
street station. While the fire was in
progress 800 girls in a cigarette
factory across the street stopped work
to watch it. Emma McGowan, to
see it better, put her head through
the elevator shaft. The elevator
came down and she almost lost 1T.
Her screams saved her, but she has
a terrible headache. She was sent to
her home in a cab.
George Wagner, with bullet hole
in his hand insisting that his wife
Annie did not shoot him, and the
wife, equally insistant that she did
shoot him, and only regretting that
she had failed to kill him, were
chased out of the Stagg-Street Station
in New York. The police could not
think of any way they could prosecute
when Wagner refused, and to be rid
of them they hurried them away
with threats for the future if they
appeared again. With them was
Mrs. Haffner. Wagner's mother-in-
law, and she also said that her
daughter shot him and that she, her
self, seeing that the wound was only
trivial, pitched in and beat her SON
in-law until his face was black and
blue. Yet Wagner was apparently
happy aud wanted neither wife nor
mother-in-law taken from him and
locked up.

killed himself was found long
Manila envelope, OH one side of which
was written:
To all that is good and true love and
bid farewell. JIM YOUNGER.
On the other side of the envelope
were these words:

No crocodile tears wanted.
Reporters, be my friends. Burn me up.

The"water Cure" Under Louis XIV.

(From Nouember McClure's)
In his latest story, "The Leather Fun
mel" Conan Doyle describes with quite
sufficient realism the horrors Of the
water cure" as practiced in France in
the time of Louis XIV, though in those
polite days the process was known by
the more judicial sounding name of "the
extraordinary question" The tale is good
history as we'll as good fiction. 1t is
based on the records of the trial and
torture of peeress of France, one Of the
most famous poisoners of history, and
the whole Is worked out (by the methods
which Sir Conan learned of Sherlock
Holmes) from n faint row of teeth mai ks
on the hardblack surface of the leat her
funnel, the only answer the lady vouch-
safed to "the extraordinary question"

CALIFORNIANS MAKE NEW
CONDITIONS AT WAHlAWA

on land but just reclaimed from the will
derness no one doubts who has tried it.
The man who removes his family from
all the advantages of civilization and
completes an honest residence on land
on the Island of Oahu has paid In ex-
penditure of cash alone 4 fair price for
his land That residence is interpreted
more accommodat:ngIy to local settlers
by government officials than to the man
in California does not increase the at
tractiveness of the enterprise.
The land which was pronounced worth
less by all Corners, the Californians have
demonstrated by their own hard headed
efforts to be No. 1 pineapple land. No. 1
lime orchard land not surpassed for
watermelons, and FL No. cane land.
They have by their joint efforts develop
ed valuable water right which, al
though threatened at one time, was res
cued by strenuous effort and made ap
pugtenant to the land. So that the tract
which more than one man N preceding
years would not pre-empt on the ground
that IT was worthless, has been made
valuable by the enterprise of the colo
nists. The first thought of the colonists
was q settlement with a village as nu-
cieus. At one time land could have been
bought for a country club. But as the
land has rapidly advanced IN value for
planting it has become increasingly diff
cult to buy land. In California under
proper and usual management the streets
at the end of two years would be lined
with shade trees; well-kept roads. walks
and drives would be a feature. In Wa
hiawa, advantage might have been taken
Of the brilliant and beautiful Towering
trees for which these Islands and Cuba
are famed by a main avenue set with
Poinciana Regia. An opportunity to have
streets and avenues of unique and trop-
ical beauty has been lost at Wahiawa
through the opposition of the manage
meut, with the brilliant result that after
two years residence the horticulturists
and orchardists at Wahiawa find them
selves living in a settlement for the first
time in their lives that has not one tree
on any street.
The desire for beautiful and pictur-
esque town has in the face of such dis
courag gements and procrastinations be-
come beautifully less, and the landhold-
ers viii concentrate on planting for prof
it. Land In small parcels has to this end
become increasingly inaccessible.

MAKAWELI TO
ISSUE BONDS

At a special meeting of the directors
yesterday morning it was voted to is
sue bonds to the amount of $1,000 900
for the purpose of carrying out the
projected improvements. The vote up
on the proposition was unanimous.
There was some discussion of the work
which is to be done, and the decision
reached was that there will be needed
for the purpose only about 100000 OF
the sum authorized. This amount will
therefore be utilized, and the remain
der will remain in the treasury of the
company. 1t is understood that ar
rangements for the placing OF the
bonds Will be made by Mr.. s. I. Alex
ander, who came down from San Fran
cisco, largely it is said for the pur-
pose of attending to this matter.
There has been some discussion on
the street of a plan to issue bonds of
the Kihei plantation for sum said TO
be in the neighborhood of 100000. The
plan has not reached any great proni-
nence as yet, but it is receiving much
attention from the stockholders 1t is
said that the present crop will produce
like 5000 tons, and the men
interested are of opinion that with the
floating of bond issue of half mil
lion dollars there will come something
like a dividend very soon. All reports
from the plantation are that there
will be an excellent yield, and that eV-
erything in connection with the next
crop is in good shape.

The first intimation of the affair was
received by telephone at the police sta

patrolman sending a message to the
effect that large number of sailors
bad gathered near the Railroad wharf,
and that shots had been fired.
A dozen armed officers were dispatch
ed to the scene in the patrol wagon.
which was hurried along to the limit.
At the lumber yard near the wharf
everything appeared to be quiet and
there were no signs Of trouble to be
seen or heard. After a little skirmish-
ing, however, a body of sailors was To-
Gated. These men, fourteen In all, were
placed under arrest and taken TO the
police station, where they were held
for investigation.
The men arrested and the ships they
belong to are as follows:

reveal any weapons. 1t looked for a

Two of the men arrested, G. Smith and

pected light on the matter. They told

the result was that instead of the rival

After fruitless vigil, one Of the bands
got tired and agreed to call the sport off

fell into the ambush of the other band

not until hard blows had been exchanged

THE SURVEYS OF
WAIPiO VALLEY

| Prof W. D. Alexander has received
| the following interesting letter about
| the Waipio valley surveys:
| Kukuihaele. Hawaii, Jan. II, 1902
Prof. w. D. Alexander. Chief of Govern
! ment Survey, Honolulu, Oahu, II. T.
| Dear Sir:-Some three months ago my
ticle concerning the Investigations which
L am making for the B. p. Bishop AIu-
scum, of the water supply of the Waipio
valley; in this were numerous gross ex-
! aggerations OF facts and a reflection on
the accuracy of the government surveys.
For several reasons Il annoyed me con-
siderably at the time, and in my official
correspondence 1 reported that the state
ments made were entirely without my
authorization, and were quite incorrect
in many particulars. 1 had desire for
a newspaper discussion, and thinking
that the story would attract but little
attention. dismissed it from my mind.
Since then 1 find that it has been gener-
ally accepted as reliable, and besides ap-
pearing in many of the Hawaiian papers,
has also been copied by at least one in
San Francisco. and two in New York.
Within the last two days 1 have been
told that another story has recently ap-
peared in one of the Hilo papers, pur-
porting TO be an interview with a young
man who was for a time a member OF
my party; this is said TO contain an as
sertion to the effect that the Waip.o val
ley is three miles longer than the gov
ernment survey would indicate.
I have not yet seen the article, nor
have 1 had an opportunity to interview
the reputed author of it, but as the mat
ter has thus been given renewed publci-
ty, / feel that it is due to myself with
out further delay TO make an emphatic
denial both of the accuracy of the state
ment referred to, aud of any responsible
ity therefor
Before l came to Hawaii I was inform
ed by Mr. Rudolph Herring, C. E., of
New York. that the government survey
work was quite remarkable, both as TO
accuracy and scope, and 1 wish to say
that SO far as my experience has gone,
I have ample means to corroborate the
assertion, and am ready to place implicit
confidence in the data which your office
so kindly furnish me. The reputation of
your bureau for careful and conscien-
tious work I believe to be such as to
need no public refutation of such charges
of inaccuracy as have been made, but in
case you desire TO make use OF this let
ter in any way, you are quite at liberty
to 60 SO.
/ remain, Yours very truly,
