LIHUE Kauai, July 5,-The Repub
lican precinct club Of KOlOa, Kauai,
held an adjourned meeting Monday
evening June 80, at Koloa district court
house, in conformity with party Tegu
lations for the election of officers for

e. Miller and A. Pilier judges of cleo
ton; f.. w. Russell and J.Jensen mem

publican voters on Kauai take a great
interest in politics, as they feel that the
good work done at the last term of Cir
cult court by inducing 1l6 foreigners to
become American citizens. gives the
party a big show to win at the coming
election. 1t is expected that at least
100 more foreigners on Kauai will take
out their naturalization papers at the
next term of Circuit Court in Septem-
ber and thereby increase the number
of qualified voters for the coming cleo
ton over the number voting at the
last election by about three hundred.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.-Customs
Collector StrattOn has requested the
United States District Attorney to
bring suit against the Japanese Steam
ship Company for $1,000 penalty for al
lowing DR.. Yung Wing to escape from
the Hongkong Maru last week. The
doctor had resided in New Haven,
Conn.,, for forty years and was return
ing from a visit to China. He wore the
American style of clothing and spoke
pure English without a foreign accent.
For that reason the customs inspector
at the gangplank did not suspect him
of being a Chinaman and allowed him
to pass out with the white passengers.
He came in the first cabin and was
manifested under his true name. He
had taken out naturalization papers,
but these are valueless

large number of visitors, who have

and fine singing is expected. Last
Thursday evening educational ques-

Association will probably commence

the Sunday school hoike. Most of the
addresses are in the Hawaiian Ian
guage.

She addressed the letter with a fevel


From an old journal that was Kept
in 1915 by a merchant of Oswego 1t
would appear that 1t cost the citizens OF
that city something to live In those
days. Anthracite coal was unknown,
and for Illuminating purposes candles
and whale oil were used. Salt In those
days was as much necessity as now.
but 1t cost $125 per bushel, or $5.3S
per barrel. Whisky was worth 81 a
gallon, rum $2.75 per gallon, tea 81 a
pound, corn 81 bushel, tobacco A
cents pound, sugar 26 cents per
pound, loaf sugar 81 cents q pound,
cambria 81 yard, dimity 81 per yard,
molasses S1.44 per gallon. raisins so
cents per pound, shifting 80 cents per
yard, potatoes Al cents per bushel, rye
and wheat S150 per bushel, red fan
mel S8 cents per yard. oil 81 per gallon.
The drinker and the smoker had a
good time In those early days, and the
family man had 1t not nearly SO good.
Now, happily, whisky and tobacco cost
more and necessaries cost very, very
much less. Dress goods and foods can
now be used freely by those who, If
living in 1915, would have had calico
dress once In several years and had
sugar but very seldom. The "old days"
were not as good as these.-Retail Gro

An African Night.

From the bush rose the death scream
OF some animal in the grip of its pur-
suer, jackals yelped in the distance or
the prolonged howl of hyena broke
out close at hand. A wakeful hoy"
initiated 1t derisively, the shores gave
place to renewed murmur Of talk, the
askari flung another log on the smol-
dering fire. Not always did the land lie
silent. 1 have known sleep made DIM
cult by the antics of hundreds of zebra,
who thudded hither and thither on the
plain like diminutive cavalry and cried
in n succession of little barks, worried,
perhaps, by finding the camp between
them and their accustomed watering
place. In some districts when on wet
nights rain had swamped the fires, a
geological garden of "questing beasts"
was apt to foregather round the tents.
Thus hyenas, jackals, three lions and a
brace of hippopotami contributed in
timately to one seancs that I wot Of,
and, as the darkness was too thick for
vision, that night yielded but scanty
peace. Hippo are at all times awkward
things to get raveled up in the tent
ropes.-Cornhill Magazine.

Convict Power.

In one Of the convict camps of New
Caledonia timber Is brought down from
the hills to the sen by means of an odd
railway. When Mr.. George Griffith
visited Prony on his tour OF prison in
spection, he was invited to enter the
state car Of this railway.
There was no engine, but fifteen blue
clad figures, each with halter and
hook rope over his shoulder, came from
one of the dormitories. A long chain
was shackled to the front Of the car.
The human beasts of draft passed the
halters over their heads and hooked to
the chain, seven ON each side and one
ahead. AT first the line was almost
level, but when we got into the hills
came the collar work, and our human
cattle bent their necks and backs.
For very shame's sake we got off and
walked whenever there was an excuse
and at last, to our infinite relief, the
journey was over. In distance of O
little over four miles those straining,
painting men had dragged us up 1900
feet. 1t took an hour and three-quar-
tiers to do 1t.

kissing" said the antiquary, was
commoner In Philadelphia 200 years
ago than 1t Is now. See what belle
wrote in her diary In 17o1." The good
old man took out his pocketbook and
read these words, which no had copied
carefully from some dusty volume of
the past: "0ne hates to be always
kissed. especially as It is attended by
so many Inconvenience. 1t discom.
poses the economy of ones necker-
chief, disorders ones high roll and ruff.

The antiquary opened another sheet
Of foolscap and said that he would now
read an extract from love letter,
typical love letter of the eighteenth
century. The extract was: "That the
silver stream of my dearest affection
and faithful love will be willingly re-
ceived into the millpond of your tender
virgin heart, by your walling up the
floodgate of your virtuous love and af-
lection which will completely turn the
wheels of your gracious will and I'M

1t IL an elementary and not a partlcu-
larly brilliant Joke to refer to all for
eigners of the Latin race as "dagoes."
But how many of lis WHO thus adver-
tlse our narrowness know where the
word dago originally came from?
In early days the hewers Of wood
and drawers of water in California
were Portuguese They cultivated
thrifty little gardens and carried on
fishing trade along the shores and up
the creeks near San Francisco. The
most common name among them was
Diego. pronounced Deeaygo, and the
transition from Diego to Dago was
natural. The epithet was transplanted
to the Atlantic coast. and the Ameri-
can hoodlum there, as everywhere,
found 1t a convenient term to express
his crude intolerance.
One day ut railway station two
italian laborers We're talking volubly
In their native tongue, and two Amer
lean laborers We're regarding them su-
perciliously, yet with some pity, as
one might view the efforts of chin
panzee to make himself understood.
Presently one of the Americans, who
certainly thought that he belonged to
Il superior race, said to his companion:
THAT amt no language them fellers
are talkin'. It's nothin' but Il jabber."

Babies Never Get seasiciS.

ball; but not SO with the babies.
Whether 1t be rough or smooth at

title of Il horse. DO you know the ex-
PLANTATION Of this singular fact2 1t is
ny simple as the fact Is strange. Ba-
bies don't get seasick because they are
accustomed to the rocking of the cru
die. That movement Is much like the
rocking Of ship. A baby aboard ship,
therefore, is merely baby in mn I'm

odd to him about the rocking. for 1t is
what he has been accustomed to all
