Chinese Commission ]. KC Brown IS
awaiting advices from the Department
Of Commerce regarding the introduce

surement of Chinese. When Inspector
General of immigration Sargent was In
Honolulu some months ago, he stated
that he would issue a new regulation
directing the use of the Bertilion sys-

have been received by the local office,

The Commissioner of immigration, F.
NJ. Bechtel who arrived here some days
ago to take charge of general immi-

work, says that when he was in San
Francisco DR.. NJ. F. Gallagher the eX-
pert on the Bertillion system was in
that city instructing government immi-
grafton employees in the method of using
the new system. The various posts
throughout the United States were be-
ing equipped with apparatus for using
the system but it was expected that
some time would elapse before the sys-
tenn would be in general operation.
DR.. Gardner expected to visit the
Puget Sound country, but in answer to
a question by Mr.. Bechtel, said he did
not know whether he was Ito come to
Hawaii or not. Certainly some one
well acquainted with the Bertillion sys-
tenn will have to come to Honolulu to
instruct the local officials in the details
OF the system of measurement.

THE SMART POSTUM.

Will Haymart of Earl, Mo-, tells a
touching story of a tender-nearted she
'possum he captured the other day.
Haymart was hoeing corn when his at
tention was attracted by the barking
of his dog in a neighboring wood. He
went into the wood, and found the dog
had freed an old possum with three
young ones. He decided to take the
young ones for pers; land don't you
know" he says, that as / took those
little 'possums away from their mother
tears ran down that old 'possum's face
as free and as plain as tears ever ran
down the cheeks of a human being?
Haymart hadn't the heart to part
them so he took the mother along, and
placed them all in a Slated box. Here
the mother gave further indications OF
an intelligence and feelings almost hui
man. During the four days of her cap
tivity, Haymart says, she never ate a
bite. Having, i'm this way, reduced her
