The Scope Of the Census.

There is n wide difference between
United States and in other countries.
The American census is an invaluable
national account of stock" costing
the American people, in 1900, $780,
S1791, and embracing extended inoui-
ries concerning population, mortality,
agriculture and manufactures. Each
or these topics Is considered a legitim-
ate part of census investigation, and
receives equal care and consideration.
In most other demonstrating countries
the census is much less comprehen-
sive, being generally confined to an
enumeration of population by sex, age,
nativity, conjugal condition, occupa-
tion, etc, together with, in some cases,
details concerning number and kind of
dwellings.
In Europe, up to 1901, only five coun-
tries-France. Hungary, Germany,
Denmark and Belgium-had taken in
dustrial censuses: and these, although
including some valuable data not Sc
cured in the United States, We're much
less comprehensive than our census
of manufactures. In France and
Hungary nothing more was undertaken
than the collection of information re-
lating to the occupation and personal
condition of employers and employees.
The German industrial census paid but
little attention TO the personal condi-
tion of employees, but called for de-
tailed statement of the kind OF estab-
lishment, and the motive power and
machinery used. The Danish census
was, in the main, similar to the Ger
man but omitted machinery, and ask
ed for the wages paid to employees,
classified by kind of work done. The
most detailed and comprehensive of
European industrial censuses Is the
one taken b" Belgium in 1896. This,
like the French and Hungarian CEN
suses, comprised detailed information
regarding the occupation and personal
condition of employees. and in addition
called for the hours of labor and pc
riods of rest, the wages and method
of payment, the kind OF products and
the motive power.

A N0NSU|T
Pacific Mill Company's
Case Does Not Go
to Jury.

The Portland Oregonian of October
contains the following report of the
ending in a nonsuit of the Pacific Mill
Company's action against Inman,
Poulsen & Co. 1t would appear that
the Honolulu corporation failed in
proof of the allegations Of its COM
plant:
A non-suit was granted yesterday
morning by Judge Sears in the $780,
900 damage action of the Pacific Mill
Company of Honolulu against Inman,
Poulsen G. Co., which was a victory
for Cake G. Cake, attorneys for the
defense. The trial was begun on Sep
TENDER IA before jury.
The Pacific Mill Company alleged
that in August, 1901, it entered into a
contract with Inman, Poulsen G. Co.
to ship Oregon pire lumber to the
Hawaiian Islands, and do certain 9TH
er things. The Pacific Mill Company
was to increase its capital stock from
$4,000 to $4,000 and was to dispose of
$3.50 of the increase in Honolulu and
collect the subscriptions in one, two,
three and four months. Inman, Poul-
sen &c Co. were to take the remaining
$4,000 stock. to be paid for in ship
ments of lumber. The Pacific Mill
q
Co. with breaking the contract, and
the latter commended that the mill COM
pany did not sell the $4,000 additional
stock, and make the collections as
agreed.
The complaint alleged a performance
of the contract by the Pacific Mill Co.,
and Judge Sears granted a non-suit
on the ground that the evidence in
troduced failed to show performance
on the mill company's part. The court
held that the mill company must per-
form or offer to perform before it
would have cause of action. 1t was
alleged in the complaint but not prov
ed. The mill company failed to prove
that 1t had carried out the agreement
with reference to obtaining subscrip-
tons and collecting for the $4,000 adj
ditional cash stock. The company OBJ
tanned subscriptions, but did not COL
lect. and what 1t did collect was re-
turned to the subscribers.
Ralph Dunning, attorney for the
plaintiff, contended that Inman, Poul-
sen & Co. broke the contract, and
that was why the Pacific Mill Com
pany did not finish the work of re-
aliZing on it's $4,000 stock subscrip-
tons, and returned $1,000 which it had
collected. He maintained that, when
1nman, Poulsen & Co. quit. that acted
as n waiver of the conditions of the
contract to sell new stock, and the
Pacific Mill Company was not bound
to fulfill its part of the agreement.
The point was whether the agreement
to sell and collect $4,000 worth of new
stock was a condition precedent or a
condition subsequent to the fulfIlment
of the whole contract, and the court
took the former view of it. The case
will be appealed to the Supreme Court.

with the departure of the Gilbert
Islanders for :her South Sea home in
the British 5. s. lsleworth, the art Of
native hat making is likely to fall
into deCadence. Strange as 1t may
seem the majority OF the native hats
sold in Honolulu for many years past
have been made by the Lewalewas who
in turn were taught the art by the Ha-
waiians. From the island of Hawaii
come the more expensive native hats,
and the departure of the Gilbert ISL
anders will undoubtedly give an impe-
tus to the art In Iona and Kohala.
In and around Honolulu there are
but few Hawaiians who have the deft
art at their fingers ends, and except
among the older generations of natives,
little about hat making is known. AS
with hat weaving so with the making
of mats. An old native woman at

Alcoholism and Heredity.

In n we'll known but slightly sensa-
tional medical journal, The London
Lancet, a rather surprising opinion Is
advanced by G. Archdall Reid. He Is
satisfied that predisposition to drink
ing is not inherited from Incorporate
parents. He argues in this fashion:
If offspring are affected then, in time,
the race grows degenerate and finally
becomes extinct. on the other hand.
II they are not, then the power of re-
sistance becomes developed and
strengthened, and later generations
crave liquor less than did their ances-
tors. The latter rule explains to Mr..
Reid the present existence of old races
like the Jews, Greeks and the nations
of Southern Europe who for ages
have had alcoholic beverages. Young
er stock, like that of Northern Europe,
having had less time in which to ac-
quire resisting powers, might, on the
other hand, show greater suscepti
bility. In other words, he holds that
alcohol as we'll as disease, Is the cause
of an innate immunity against itself.
To this doctrine much dissent has
been expressed. a resident of Buffa-
10, Lawrence Irwcll, declares that If
distinct craving for drink is not trans
lHltlcu no CnlIiItll, tncfe Is at least an
inherent susceptibility. \ writer in
THE Medical Record" denies that the
people of Southern Europe are today
abstemlous. He then remarks: Mr..
Reid cannot prove that the children
of habitual drunkards are normally
developed both mentally and physical
ly. When drink is INDUCED in to eN-
cess through successive generations II
results in insanity, paralysis, idiocy or
cerebral defect of some kind. The the.
DRY that in a drinking nation the UNIT
are weeded out and that among the
survivors considerable degree of inn
munity to alcohol is established is
plausible and probable. The craving
for drink may not he directly trans
mitted, but the children OF drunken
parents or one drunken parent will in
all likelihood inherit some physical or
mental defect or both, which may of
a certainty be put down TO the drink
ing habits of their progenitors.'

thing he or she does is to seek a curio
store and invest in a native hat, and
after adjoining it with a faring striped
pugaree do" the sights of the city.
The hats have always an attraction
for the newcomer But few of the ma
lihinis or even kamaainas have ever
seen them made.
The Gilbert Islanders, as well as the
natives, but not the present generation,
are horn hat weavers. With a wealth
of material these people weave strands
of fiber, ferns, grasses and striped
stalks into the oldest possible conceits.
Here almost everything green that
grows in the earth can be
utilized to practical ends, and the
chief purpose to which they are put
is in transforming such materials
into hats. From the grasses that
spring up near the seashore to the
scraggy bushes that grow near the
highest mountain ridges, the Hawaiian
makes use of all. If the grass cam

CAME TO BLOWS

There was a mix-up last night on the
free-for-all political stand at the cor
ner of Hotel and Bethel streets in
which couple of the Home Rulers who
essayed to talk to the crowd, got the
worst of it. Caypless departed from
the lively crowded section with a
bleeding nose, and John Wise, the 16
to l Observation-Disclosures Home Ruler,
found the wsest course to be to take
to his heels and repair to place less
dangerous to his features. Caypless
went on the stand and in his argument
challenged any Republican to refute
his statements. Birbe accepted and
mounted the platform. Caypless sized
up Birbe and began dealing in person.

Birbe passed the lie and Caypless slap
ped his face, and was knocked hard
by Birbe, blow on the nose unloosen-
ing the claret. The police at once
rushed forward, and Caypless gave
Deputy Sheriff Chillngworth the defy,
which resulted in Caypless taking a
tumble from the stand in a heap. John
Wise then mounted the platform,
abused the Advertiser and Wanted his
physical powers In some way he
countered Pinkerton, the herculean
motorman, and in an instant Pinkerton
made rush for Wise. Had the two
come together Wise might have been
a subject for the coroner Chilling
worth grasped Pinkerton, but was
thrown off, when McDuffie, Pinker-
toms old "bunkie' came to the rescue.
Wise took advantage of the situation
to make hurried exit to near by
saloon. He remained there until a
favorable opportunity came to slip
away.

to remain unpaid, and has committed
other wrongful acts. 1t is stated that
the actions of Mr.. Sigler in conducting

something that win clothe or adorn.
But the art of making hats is an art
to which the Hawaiians seemed espe-
cially adapted and which they passed
on to the Gilbert Islanders. From a
few ugly strands of tough grasses,
from a delicate fiber taken from the
inside of a pumpkin vine, or even from
the stem of the dainty maiden hair
fern, hats of the jauntiest type mag
Unable are made. The strands are
braided with unerring accuracy and
the inches rapidly grow into fathoms
almost before the watcher comprehends
the methods employed.
The hat most common in Honolulu
is that made of the young leaf of the
hala. The material is boiled, then
dried and afterwards scraped until it
is quite smooth. The strips thus made
are coiled into rolls and woven over a
block. There are two species of the
hala-the white and the red. The red
hala makes the rich brown hat, which
is more expensive than the white one.

SMALLPOX MIXED IN ROMANCE
Webster City Girl Contracts Disease
while Bravely Nursing
Her Lover.

WEBSTER CITY. Ia, May 12-(Special.)-
What might have been a serious smallpox
romance has just had a very happy ending
in this city. John Jones, the first unfort-
innate to come down with the disease this
season. and his pretty sweetheart, Miss
Pearl Rogers. have Just been released from
the detention hospital. 1t was through the
devotion of the girl to Jones that the two
came to be occupying the hospital at the
same time.
Before Jones was taken to the detention
hospital he had become sick at the FL
Monte hotel In this city. II was not at first
discovered that he had smallpox. the dis
ease having been thoroughly wiped out Of
the city two years ago. Jones, upon his
being confined TO his bed and in need Of a
nurse. Miss Rogers. his sweetheart. volun-
teered to take care Of him. The case was
reported to City Physician Rummel and this
ofhcial. upon visiting the place. at once
pronounced the ailment as a clear case of
smallpox. Jones was removed to the de-
tention hospital and the hotel f~umigated.
Miss Rogers and the other guests, however.
were, strangely enough, allowed to depart,
it not being thought by the officials that
they had been exposed.
Jones had not been occupying his lonely
retreat more than a week before his preHy
sweetheart came down with a serious at
tack OF the dreaded disease. Miss Rogers
was very devoted to Jones and had given
him the best of care during the time that
she was with him at the hotel. As a
natural sequence she had contracted the
disease. She. too, was removed to the de-
tention hospital and the two separated
lovers were no longer parted. The disease
has now had Its run and each has well
withstood It's ravages.

that they be committed to Mount Pleasant.
An information charging Fegley with
being a dipsomaniac was fled some time

ting him TO Mount Pleasant on his promis-
ing to abstain from intoxicating liquors.
He has failed, however. to abide by his
promise and has been arrested several
times recently for drunkenness and dts
turbing the peace. Thomas Lookabill is an
old offender and spends the greater part OF
