He was rugged, uncultured, plain

She was pretty, college bred, aristo'
cratic. He believed in Drawn and brain
She believed in blood and breeding.
They were not neighborly. She
called herself "horticulturist." He
was merely florist. OF course, Dick
Russell was a bachelor and in love.

breath.
"'Cause / want it," said Dick.
SO, in spite Of opposition and dire
predictions, the telephone was in
stalled, connecting the house with the
distant village Of Prittlewell. His
point won, and his crop money safely
deposited in the bank, Dick threw him
self heart and soul into the compile
ton Of his queer gas plant. He bought
miles Of slender iron piping, and many
tons Of hard coal. He dug bitches and
laid a portion Of the piping around his
orchard and at regular distances
across Il, until the ground looked like
a gigantic gridiron. The unused pip
ing (by far the larger portionl was
stored away in the gas house. When
the work was finished and the bitches
filed in. curious neighbors comment

above the ground intervals along the
straight rows of buried pipes

FOUND CURIOUS DOCITMENT

Collector Stackable found a very in
teresting document recently while look
ing over some old papers. This docu>
ment Is an engrossed souvenir evident
ly of the overthrow of the Southern
Confederacy. On the document is an
extract from Daniel Webster's reply to
Senator Blake of Virginia on the sub
ject of the dismemberment of the Uni
on. This speech was delivered June 3O
1885. Underneath this speech is a
statement that on March 16, 1865, the
residents of two Louisiana and Missis-
sippi counties having learned of the
restoration of the old flag, assembled
at Mt Vernon church and raised the
Union flag amid cheers. An ode which
was also included on the document was
read. A poem entitled Save The Uni
on" bearing the date of May 20, 1861,
Hilo, Hawaii, was also on the souve-
mir. Just how the HilO contribution
came to be put on the souvenir is not
certain The document is certainly
very unique.

LEFT HIS ALL
TO THE CHURCH
THE WILL OF THE LATE BISHOP
GULSTAN F. ROPERT IS FILED
FOR PROBATE.

The will of the late Bishop Gulstan
F. Ropert was filed for probate today
by Humphreys, Thompson & Watson.
tt is short document, leaving all his
belongings in trust for the Catholic
church in the Hawaiian islands. 1t
was signed on October 8, 1898 and wit
messed by Associate Justice Antonio
Perry and Col j. H. Fisher.
The bishop left his property first to
the Rev. Father Clement Evrard to be
by him held in trust for the church. In
the event of Father Evrard not sur
viving the bishop, Father Celestin Ru-
ault was named, then Father Maxine
Andre.
The petition for letters of adminis-
tration states that the property in the
estate consists of a lot about an acre
in size, near Lahaina, and some per-
sonal effects. Judge De Bolt made
the usual order for advertisement of
the hearing of the petition for appoint
ment of an administrator, who is to
be one of the three fathers named.

PAINTER ROBBED BY HIGHWAY
MEN SATURDAY NIGHT-ROB-
BERS HAVE SUSPENDED.

o. Tideman, the painter is reported to

and a watch and chain and also took
his bicycle. The affair was reported
to the police this afternoon. The mat
ter is being Investigated.
The highwaymen appear to have sus-
pended operations temporarily this
week. The recent hunt for them by a
large posse after the robbery on Pacific
Heights, has probably scared the pair
and led them to hold off until the police

TO USURP .KANG
HSUS THRONE

Empress Dowager's Chinese New Years
gifts to Hawaii.
"A meeting has been called for tomor-
row night at the rooms of the United
Chinese Society at which the whole
matter, at least as far as the present
information on the subject will permit,
will be discussed.
The whole prospect grows out of the
Chinese Telegraph system which Ii
Hung Chang promoted some ten or a
dozen years ago and which the EN-
press Dowager now wants to seize.
This telegraph system with head
quarters at Shanghai and extending
practically all over the Chinese En-
pire, is owned by private or quasi
private company, capitalized at several
million dollars. The company was
promoted by Ii Hung Chang who Sc
cured subscriptions to the stock from
Chinese merchants all over the empire
and even from Chinese merchants in
Honolulu. The subscriptions in Ha-
wall were secured through Yung Chu
Him formerly partner of Goo Kim
Fui, and now the proprietor of a Chi
nese drug store on Aala lane. On the
strength of information received by
Yung Chu Him by the Hong Kong
Maru yesterday, he has called the
meeting for tomorrow night at the
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1903-01-21
The Empress New Coup

The reason officially assigned for taxi
ing over the telegraph system is that
the government needs the revenue de-
rived from it to pay the indemnity to
the powers.
The real reason suspected by those in
China who do not approve of the prop
osition, is that it is a part of a scheme
on the part of the Empress to dethrone
the Emperor K'ang Hsu, and call an
other to the throne as she attempted to
do in 1899 when she placed the six
year-old child of Prince Tuan on the
throne, but was not able to keep him
there because OF the support given to
the K'ang Hsu by the representatives
of the foreign powers.
The fact that the telegraph system
was in the hands of a private corpora-
tion at that time Is said to be held re-
sponsible by the Empress for her fall
ure at that time. In preparing for her
coup she teegrapher her design to all
the viceroys on whose support she
could rely But in this way the knowl-
edge of the affair came to a large NUM-
ber of persons who were not in the
service of the Empress, and il was by
them communicated to the viceroys
who did not support the Empress and
to the representatives of the foreign
powers. and through them the design
was frustrated.
1t is assumed that the Empress seeks
to secure the telegraph system at this
time to prevent such miscarriage in
her present design. 1t is said that she
proposes to set up the new emperor
on New Years day, so that the year of
the new Emperor's era will correspond
with the beginning of the calendar
year.

JUDGE Gear IS
upheld ON
APPEAL
Award Of AIimony to Mrs,
Dole is Sustained but Enforce
ment by Contempt Proceed
ing is Prohibited,

The Supreme Court today rendered q
decision in the E. p. Dole divorce case,
sustaining the ruling of Judge Gear as
to the jurisdiction of the court of equi-
ty. This is the case in which Gear
wrote an opinion of about 80 pages, and
the Supreme justices have been wrest-
ling with it for many weeks. Justice
Galbraith dissents in part, and Justice
Perry writes a concurring opinion. The
case settles an issue new to the courts
here, in the matter of the power of
courts of equity to order husbands to
pay alimony where no divorce proceed
ings have been begun.
Mrs. Dole's suit was for maintenance,
no divorce or decree of separation be-
ing asked, as she had not lived here
long enough to be legally entitled to
ask for one. Gear ordered the payment
of $3.50 a month and an attorney fee of
$3.50. Dole refused to pay and con-
tempt proceedings were brought before
Judge Gear, but never heard, the Su-
preme Court issuing a writ of prohibi-
tion, on which the decision was handed
down today.
The principal question argued in the
Supreme Court was Has equity juris-
diction to grant permanent alimony or
maintenance independently of proceed
ings for divorce or separation" Other
pendente lite might be granted by a
court of equity and whether an appeal
was allowable from an order for tenn
porary alimony.
The syllabus says:
Equity may grant maintenance to a
wife without special statutory author
ity and independently of a suit for di-
Vorce or separation, on the ground that
the remedy at law through the pledg-
Of tIa ho pc
saries is inadequate.
Temporary maintenance may be
granted in an equity suit for main
tenance.
AN order for such temporary main
tenance is appealab,a.
The Circuit Judge is without juris-
diction to enforce such order by con-
tempt proceedings pending an appeal"
The opinion, which is Sby Frear holds
that the writ of prohibition should be
made permanent as far as the con-
tempt proceedings are concerned, and
thus prevents Judge Gear from enforc-
ing his order to pay alimOny, while an
appeal is pending.
Justice Galbraith's opinion agrees
with the views of the court as far as
the powers of the court of equity are
concerned, but holds that the order for
alimony is not appealable, and that the
writ should not be made absolute in
any respect. He says:
ut is claimed that an appeal ought to
be allowed for the reason that the hus-
band could not get the money back
if the order should be found to have
been wrongfully made. Where, as in
this case the marriage Is admitted, and
the allegations of the bill confessed by
demurrer the obligation is fixed on the
husband by law and there does moi
seem to be any possible circumstances
under which he would be entitled tc
recover the amount of the allowance Il
paid. The only thing he can or could
have to complain of on appeal is as tc
the reasonableness of the allowance
The error is this, if any, could be re-
viewed and corrected on the appea

United Chinese society rooms, Of all
Hawaiian stockholders of the Imperial
Chinese telegraph system.
This information which is partly Of
fetal and partly unofficial is to the ef-
feet that the Empress Dowager
through her advisers has decided to
nationalize this Ii Hung Chang system
OF telegraph. This is to say according
to the advices received here, she has
decided to take over the entire system,
making is government system and
taking 1t entirely out of the ownership
and control of the stockholders
To pay the stockholders for the prop-
erty in money would take several mil
lion taels, which is something the Chi
nese government hasn't got just at
present even in deprecated silver. SO
1t is proposed to pay off the stockhold-
ers in orders and decorations of rank,
nobility and official station. While the
exact scale of prices has not been re-
ceived here, it is supposed that the
system will be something like this: For
a million taels worth Of stock, the EN-
press Dowager will give the decoration
of the Peacock Feathers; for half
million taels worth, the order of the
Yellow Jacket The owner of a quar-
ter of a million taels worth of stock
will be recompensed with the rank of
mandarin with two buttons on his hat.
For a hundred thousand taels worth of
stock, a man may get a one button
mandarin's, and so on down to the
owners of single shares.
The Honolulu stockholders at their
meeting will collate all the information
they have obtained on the subject but
it is not stated that they will decide
wheher to accept the Empress offer or
no.

CASE
DECIDED
TYPHOID IN
NORTH HILO
OF THE DISEASE
CONTINUES AND is THOUGHT I )
BE DUE TO JAPANESE ARRIVALS

DIR. Archer Irwin's December report
to the Board of Health as government
physician for the district of North Hilo
again calls attention to the prevalence
of typhoid fever, and expresses the
opinion that it is being brought into
the district by new arrivals. There
were twenty cases during the month.
The report says:
I'VE have had a large number of
cases of typhoid at Honolima amongst
some new Japanese. 1 am inclined to
believe the patients were infected be-
fore they arrived here, as some of them
never workd a day on this plantation
after arriving. We have had three
deaths altogether and the rest are con-
valescent.
81 would ask the Board to have print
ed in japanese a few pamphlets des-
cribing in simple language the nature
and cause of enteric fever, the necessity
for carefulness in the use of drinking
water, the value of personal cleanliness
in the care of fever patient, the dan
ger of contagion, the value of seeing a
physician early in any fever and in fact
a good general history of the trouble
and how to take care of it,"
