MURDERER WAS
NOT A HAWAIIAN

Speaking of Brown. the executed
murderer at Kansas City, the Inde-
pendent says: Jim Brown was part Ger
man and Russian, the former on his
fathers side and the latter that of his
mother; and thirdly, he was not born
here, but on one of the many small
islands dotting the expansive Pacific
Ocean.
sailing vessel from here happened
to call at the island and found the
mother and child, the husband and
father having died, as the only living
residents and were subsisting upon
.cocoanuts and fish. They We're brought
here and lived among natives, the
mother dying here among strangers.
Jim Brown, at about thirteen years of
age, was committed to the Reforma-
tory School. He was one of the boys
who was sent on the II. NJ. S. Kaimiloa
to Samoa in 1887, and on returning be-
came a member of the Royal Hawaiian
band, he being. a horn blower at the
Reformatory School and on the Kaimi-
loa.
AT the overthrow he was still a
bandsnan and threw in his lot with his
Hawaiian compatriots. He went to the
United States and while in Kansas City
married white widow. who was en-
amored of him, and who had childran
by her former husband.

The effort, originally planned, to get
the Legislature in special session to

been dropped. The matter was breach

Soper who is one of the promoters of
the enterprise, and abandoned when the
Executive announced his opposition to
any legislation, other than that requir-
ed to solve the financial problems of the
Territory. Col. Soper then stated that
he would not attempt to secure a
franchise at the special session, as lie
did not wish to in any way interfere
with the program.
Some time ago ]. H. Boyd, as Super
intendent of Public Works, granted a
permit to the Standard Telephone Co.

WHEN FROGS WERE
IMPORTED HERE

A person is hardly up-to-date in Ho-
noluIu nowadays if he does not eat
frogs legs. And they are not very
expensive luxury either, for the islands
produce an enormous quantity The
origin of the frog here is shrouded in
mystery, or rather in lack of reliable
probably has the late DR.. Hillebrand
and the late John Hassinger to thank
for the plentiful supply. An old news
paper file contains the following:
I'm the fall of 1857 Dr.. HilIebrand
imported from California a number of
frogs, in the interests of garden
ers and horticulturists, for the frog is
a we'll known destroyer of insects. The
native California variety is somewhat
larger and darker in color than that
of New England. They were turned
loose in a large taro patch near the
valley road, and for a time We're APP
parently doing well. Their bell-like
voices at night was sweet music to
the ears of many an exile from New
England, and walks up the valley road
were often taken for the sake of hear
ing the doctors frogs. But in a few
weeks the melodious croakings became
few and far between, and two months
after the Importation the frogs were
neither to be heard or seen. Whether
they were destroyed by rats, as some
one suggested was the case, or became
victims to a sudden change of climate,
remains an unsolved question. Per-
haps, as is said of Ireland. snakes and
toads cannot exist in Hawaii nei''
Captain Christensen, of the schooner
Helene, tells a story of a little con-
versation he had with the late John
Hassinger in 1880. At that time Has
singer told him that his life in Hawaii
would be one continual round of hap
piness if he could hear frog croaking
occasionally. Accordingly Christensen
set to work to produce this happiness. F.,
On his next voyage to the islands he |
brought four dozen live frogs, 'all |
done up nice in bucket and fed until
they were fat as porpoises with flies
from Tie cooks galley" These frogs
were taken out to Hassingers home on
Pensacola street. A tank was erected !
for them and this was carefully screen |
ed off with mosquito netting. But the
frogs refused to either propagate or
sing in such captivity and their owner, !
at the end of about three years, turned
them loose. Since that time the frogs
have multiplied and they croak, too,
perhaps in not as lively a manner as a
real big one from a Vermont swamp
could; but lively enough to make the
frog eaters mouth swater.

special virtue of Honolulu as a show

That is Needed for Building.

The library board is making a
strong and strenuous appeal to An
drew Carnegie for sufficient money
to finish the library in the manner
desired. At first the venerable phil
antrophist was not inclined to grant
the appeal CT the board, but the hard
luck story put up by President
Oscar and other members of the
board will likely result in an addi-
tional appropriation. The board
have told Mr. Carnegie all about
how the farmers in the town of
Washbnrn came in one day ard
took all their money when they sup
posed they were on easy STREET and
how in consequence of this they have
been short on funds to finish the
building. The building is certainly
one of the finest ic the city, and
there has been no money wasted in
it's construction. Architect Wilhag
en- has furnished additional plans
and drawings which have been sent
to Mr.. Carnegie.

Sudden Death of Prominent Citizen
OF NaShburn.
is SICK ONLY A SHORT TIME
Returns From Hunting Trip on Account of
not Feeling Well, Visits With Friends
at His Hotel and Dies After a
Few Minutes of Sickness

Chris. Peterson, for five years
proprietor of the Hotel Washburn,
died very suddenly at the hotel
Tuesday night. Mr.. Peterson has
been subject to heart trouble, but it
has not been considered to be of a
very serious nature He has spent
a good deal Of time hunt ting this fall
and returned to town the day of his
death, on account of not feeling ve"y
well. However no one suspected
that he was sick man, and he sat
in the office of the hotel all Of the
evening, talking and visiting with
some of the guests of the hotel.
Between nine and ten o'clock he
comp planned of feeling very badly to
some of his friends, but they augh
ingly told him he was all right.
No, | feel as though I was going to
die" he said to Joseph Riley. Mr..
Riley treated the statement as a
joke. Mr. Peterson got up and
started for the telephone, but came
back and started for his rooms up
stairs. At the foot of the stairs he
sat down, and his son and wife
helped him up stairs. In few
minutes he was dead. Mr.. Peder-
son was a generous, big-hearted
man, and his best friends we're
among til )se most closely connected
with him. There was no man IN
Washburn more devoted to his fam
lily, and when he made a friend that
friend was bound to stick to him.
He possessed many of the most eX-
cellent traits of manhood, and was
esteemed by everyone who came to
his house. One of his friends in
speaking of the deceased said: ANY
man who didn't like Chris Peterson
simply didn t know him, because TO
know him well made one like him.
He is survived by his wife and son
Ed, and daughter Miss Mabel. The
latter has been in Chicago for sever
al weeks studying voice culture, and
was called home by the sudden
death of her father. The deceased
was fifty-four years Of age, and was
born in Norway. He came to this
country when a very young man,
and lived at Hayward for IA years
before coming to Washburn At
Hayward he run the Hotel Fergu-
son for a number of years. He was
married in Chippewa county, Mime
sofa, twenty three years ago. The
funeral will be held Friday after
noon from the Norwegian Lutheran
church.
