Senator Kalauokalani's idea that his
son should be paid s266.50 for translating
the Austin findings for use in the
minority report he did not write, is
cneerfully reminiscent of Home Rule
legislative days. Two years ago such a
bill would have been paid off hand and
the Wilcoxian statesmen would have
seen no flaw in the Kalauokalanian
plea that "the young man ought to be
allowed to make a little money"

Senator Kalauokalani is not the clev-
crest man in the world but he will prob
ably know enough not to touch the Ari-
zona brand of pitch a second time. It
IS mixture which not only soils the
fingers but the reputation.

The less the Senators bother over a

Speaking of the mosquito it may be
some years before Honolulu can get
rid of it, owing to rice and taro swamps,
but much can be done on city premises
by care in cleaning up. Mr.. Van Dine,
the Government entomologist, discover
ed $4,000 immature mosquitoes in one
stagnant water butt in back yard.
DR.. Wood, by putting acupful of gaso-
line in an open tank, practically freed
his office of the insects which We're won't

one in Honolulu would be equally
watchful of his premises the city would
have much better reputation among
tourists than it now enjoys.

The people who went to the Audito-
rum to see Foxy Grandpa" Tuesday
evening forgot the extreme cold wealth
er and the troubles of the fuel situa-
ton in their enjoyment of the antics
of the sly old man, his two grandsons
and his many other friends. Foxy
Grandpa is one of the best musical
farces that has appeared here in long
time. 1t is nonsensical of course but
its nonsense is not silly. From the
beginning to the end there is some
thing doing, and what happens is most
always really amusing. The story
deals with the adventures of Foxy
Grandpa and his two grandsons whose
faces have become so familiar to ev-
eryone through the columns of the
Sunday papers. Grandpa in the play
is the same crafty old joker, contin-
ually getting one on the boys when
ever they attempt to work him, but he
meets with number of experiences
which are new to the public. At the
start matters are complicated by the
appearance of facial artist who i'm
personates Foxy Grandpa so well as to
deceive even the old man himself
When grandpa falls in love with an
Italian signorina il is the impersonator
who receives all the endearments, and
when grandpa finally wishes to get rid
of the mercenary young woman it is the
impersonator who elopes with her.
Joseph Hart in the title role was all
that could be desired. His make up
was excellent. his actions amusing, and
in addition he was decidedly foxy in
number of ways. Carrie DeMar, as
Polly, grandpa's protege, was bright,
vivacious and attractive, and proved
herself an excellent soubret Club and
Blunt, the grandsons, were well imper-
sonated by George Mack and Bohbie
Barrie, while Eugene Redding, as Sig
nor Bolero, the facial artist, was de-
cededly good in his line. All the re-
parts were well taken, and the /
chorus sang very we'll. Among the mu
steal numbers, of which there were II, I
the most pleasing were Military /

Bad Boys by Grandpa and his grand
sons, My Clementine" by Millicent |

CATTLE HUNTING IN MARLBORO.
Sport Furnished by Herd of Wild Heifers
Which Have Had the Run of the Town for
the Last Summer
the Last Summer


The Nimrods of Windham county
have tried their prowess on many kinds
of quarry this fall, but the latest event
in hunting circles is cattle coursing as
it is carried on by the mighty men OF
Marlboro. For the past week a force
of seven men with two dogs have been
beating the covers of eastern Marlboro
in search of seven heifers, to which
several months of free and unlimited
range have given spirit of wildness al
most akin to that of the Vermont deer
The heifers are the property of John
Cornell of Chesterfield, n II. who last
spring pastured them on the farm of
Charles Bartlett in Marlboro. Mr..
Bartlett farm limits were not bound
ed definitely enough to restrain the
heifers' nomadic instincts, and conse-
quently during the past summer and
fall they ranged all over the town
sometimes wandering as far north as
the Newfane boundary line and often
coming westward to the edges of Brat
tleboro. With their increased facili-
ties for wandering the cattle gradually
grew wild until at length they became
as timid as any wild beast. At the
sight of human being they would i'm
mediately take flight, and it is stated
on good authority that the herd has
been seen to clear a five-foot fence at
bound.
With matters in this shape Mr.. Con
nell went to Marlboro last week to get
his heifers, and, needless to add, re-
turned without them. On Monday
therefore he organized force of men,
two of whom,..J. H. Allen and Fred
Marsh, own experienced cattle dogs,
and began a systematic hunt. The
party would range about in the neigh
borhood of the cattle's haunts until
their tracks were discovered and would
then start in pursuit. As soon as the
herd was seen, which was not very of
ten, the dogs We're loosed and they
would chase the cattle, trying to throt-
tie them. After one morning of this
sort of labor one heifer was captured,
the dogs clinging to its throat until
the men arrived and secured the ami
NAL with a rope. Two more of the
heifers were caught in the afternoon
but the remaining five are still at
large although efforts are being made
to capture them.
Cattle hunting is an occupation to
which many farmers are often obliged !
to resort, especially if their fences hap |
pen to be weak. Some of them make |
it point to train dogs especially for
this purpose and it is said that a well /
trained dog will follow the scent of
cattle and bay like a fox hound. Or /
dinarily, however, it is extremely diff /
fcult to capture bovine which has |
been at liberty for several months as
Mr.. Connell is no doubt willing to tes |
tify.

H. o. ALDRICH DEAD IN BOSTON.
Native of Windham County and Frequent
Brattleboro Visitor Expires at His Home
on Commonwealth Avenue-senior Member
of the Cobb, Bates g. Aldrich

Henry 0. Aldrich, 70, senior member
of the firm of Cobb, Bates & Aldrch,

health the past summer but it was not
known that he was in critical condi.
ton. Mr.. Aldrich was well known in

that town. After the death of his
father he assisted his mother in the
care of the farm, at the same time
gaining what education he could in the
strict schools.
At the age of 20 years he was gradu
ated from the high school, and having

that cannot in some form employ ad

THE MEDBRER.
"T The coat ITS put 10 on"

For the benefit of those who inteno
to buy their Christmas cheer at the
town agency the Meddler will state
that four cases of champagne were bad
ly chilled by the cold weatherof Tues,
day. Now most everybody knows that
nothing will take the life out of cham.
payne any quicker than a slight freeze.
! OF course the wine may be just as good
for medicinal, mechanical and chem,
ical purposes, but there are some
people who never have noticed the lit
tie sign behind the counter and expect
whatever they purchase to be fit to
drink. Bear this in mind, therefore,
and when you purchase your holiday
champagne be sure that it has the
sparkle in it.
The cold weather of the past week
has proven beyond much doubt that
the heating apparatus in the High
school building is but very little bet
ter than it was last winter despite the
improvements which were supposed to
be made during the summer. The
only way the building can be heated
properly is by shutting off the supply
of out door air and circulating the
same old atmosphere over and over
again. Even this has not been efficient
the past week and many of the pupils
were dismissed Wednesday on account
of the low temperature. The real trou-
BILE seems to be that the committee in
charge installed IA heating plant much
too small for the size of the building.
The system is all right and SO is the
apparatus, what there is of it, but there
is only about two thirds enough. Some
people knew this last summer when
the work of remedying the mistake
should have been done.

The passing of the coal wagon has
been a dreary sight to many people this
week. With the thermometer way be-
low zero and no wood or coal to fight
the freezing temperature the serious
ness of the fuel situation has been
brought home to many families in
Brattleboro within the past few days.
The people who are most seriously af
fected are those who have put off buy
ing wood in the expectation that coal
could be secured before cold weather
set in. During the mild fall which has
passed most people could not be
brought to realize what a winter with
out sufficient fuel might mean. Now
many are realizing it to their extreme
discomfort. 1t is aggravating indeed
to see load of coal pass ones door
and know that it belongs to somebody
who has ordered it months before and
know that there is no telling when any

A CUBAN PRISON DELIVERY.
1t is Contemplated By RESOLUTIONS
Adopted BY Both Branches OF
the Cuban Congress.

New York, Sept. Both branches
of the Cuban congress have passed
resolutions calling for the release OF
all convicts now confined on the is
land of Cuba who fought in the Gu
ban army, says Havana dispatch to
the Tribune. The resolution proposes
to be general and irrespective of the
crime that the ex-soldier is guilty Of.
The proposition met with some oppo-
sition by some of the more conserva-
tive members of the congress, but the
revolutionary members succeeded in
getting it through. The two branches
of congress have appointed commit
tee, which is to wait on President
Palma asking him to take the action
desired.
The resolution provides that all of
the convicts be released on October
10,
