A FAMOUS OLD HOUSE
Around Which Hover the Memories
 of Famous Old Family.

There are just an even dozen IictUre buttons in this city that would be taken for campaign buttons by the or dinary person who sees them, but that are in reality not campaign buttons St all, though they bear in one corner miniature pictures of Roosevelt and Fairbanks. The greater part of the button. though, is devoted to a picture of the old Fairbanks house at Dedham, Mass. and the big oak trees that sur pOund it. And the story of the button at this time is particularly irterest- ing, as it is the story of the Fairbanks family, which is one of the oldest and most notable in American history. Everybody knows that fact concern ing the Fairbanks family, but not everyone knows just how prominent q family it is, nor can one-half the facts be set forth in a newspaper article. The fact that Senator Fairbanks be- longs to the family is the warrant for his picture on the button, and the fact that he is a candidate for vice-presi- dent makes him at this time probably

1 the most notable member of the fam fly.
 The family maintains a family or i ganization. Senator Fairbanks being 1 its vice-president. and Victor A. Met ! calf, secretary of the department of ! commerce and labor. is the second | Yice-president. A family reunion is | held at the old home in August of each
 year, and there is quarterly publica- ! ton in Boston known as 'tYes Payer 1 bancke Hfstorial,'' which is devoted
 entirely to the interests of the Ear
 banks family. The family geleajogy is traced back as far as the crusades, and it was a very notable English family in those days. But this stcry has only to do with its American re ord, which began with the arrival here of Jonathan Fairbanks in I633. from
 Yorkshire. Three years later. and-six- teen years after the landing Cf she pill grirns, he built the famous o.d house at Dedham. Mass. a few mUe5 from Boston, and the picture Of whi n .s the text of this article. The ma king oe the souvenir buttons was by the order of the family society. ana the purpose was to give to each Chttd of the pres ent generation, descending from the old stock, a dozen of the buttons to present to her most esteemed friends, the gifts, of course, be- ing more highly prized at this time by reason of the candidacy of Senator Fairbanks. Through this method it is designed to cultivate in the minds of the younger generation a Iaudable family pride and an ambition to keep the family ideals at the same honor able standard they have always r1lsin- tained. It happens that among the descendants of the family is Mrs. Eliz- abeth c. Brown, who resides on West
 Washington street in this city. md to her little daughter, Miss Bessie, came the dozen buttons. with the corlTli- ments of the family. Mrs Browns mother and Senator Fairbanks ire sec ond cousins, and the senator's father was born in the old house at Delham. his branch of the family moving first to New York, then to Ohio, where Sen ator Fairbanks was born.
 Incidentally, while Mrs. Brown is a republican in sympathy and through the Fairbanks line of descent. Et is in teresting to note that her family pride will not be susceptible to mortal ftIrt whichever way the November election should result, for she is almost as closely related also to the dem acratic NeAAAAAAdtC AOA BLtS4uEltA Her fathers mother was of the same family to which Judge Parker belongs. She is also. connected by ties of consaneuin- ity with other men of democratic faith who have been notable in New York history. For instance. her father was a cousin of Horatio Seymour. one of New York's best known Gemocra tic 1 governors. Mrs. Brown Joined the Daughters. of the American Revolution on the record of five revolutionary an cestOrs, one through her mothers fam fly and four through her fathers fam fly. her mothers ancestry including Thomas Dudley, Simon Bradstreet and Matthew Gilbert, all colonial gover- nors of Nassa chusetts. She has an in- teresting genealogical compilation, ar ranged in unique manner for ready reference, that shows all these and

and business men; none has been more patriotic or shed its blood more freely in defense of the nation. How many descendants of the family served in the civil war is not known, but at a Grand Army reunion in Boston 300 survivors of that conflict were present and were referred to as the Fairbank battalion.
 Among other notable descendants Of the same stock who do not bear the name of Fairbank are Dr. Albert Shaw, editor of the Review of Re views; Josiah Quincy, formerly mayor or Boston; Countess Margharita de ChraPOritsk of St. Petersburg and the Marchioness of Donegal. who lives ip Belfast, Ireland. Other members of the family who reside in Arizona are MT Wallace Fairbank of Congress. secretary of the $. F. P. S, P. Railroad company, and Dr. Willard Tales or Clifton.

WOMEN IN TROUSERS.
In Champery, Switzerland, the Sieht
 Causes No Comment

It will probably be news to many ad- Vocates of feminine dress reform to hear that the women of Champery, a primitive mountain district of the Can ton Falais. Switzerland, have worn trousers from time immemorfaI The Champery region is in the southwest ern part of the Canton Valais the vii lase of ChamDery itself being at the foot of the Dent du Midi. well known to Lake Geneva tourists.
 The men of Champery are noted. fo- their lazy habits, and beyond acting as guides to mountain climbers in the summer months they lead au abso- iutely idle life. The women perform. ali the hard labor required of a noun taineering people. It is they who pas ture the cattle on the steep and often dangerous Alpine slopes, cut the timber and now the grass. It is a usual sight to see ChamperE woman. her daily toll ended, returning to the village dragging her husband on one of the wooden sleishs in general use through
 out Switzerland. her lord and master all the while lazily smoking his pipe.
 Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the women of Cham pery should have adopted the mascu- line attire Their costume is of the SIihAleSt klhu-a Jerkin of rough, dark blue material with trousers to match, and red touiard to protect the head.
 While desperately practical, nothing more unpreDossessing in the way of feminine dress could be imagined than this costume of the ChamDerv danes and damseIs. Moreover. these wives and mothers of Champery, who are ac- customedf to all the work generally supposed to be the lot of the sterner sex not unnaturally seek what. con solation they can in masculine com forts Chief among these is the short briar pipe, which they all smoke, and evidently enjoy as much as, if not more than, their husbands and fathers.

MADE A NICE DISTINCTION.

other lines of ancestry, including the Wade family, that is also traced back
 10 the time of Crusades, and showing
 the coats of arms of the leading fam flies, including the Fairbanks, which has been spelled in various ways at
 various times.
 But reverting to the Fairbanks fam fly home, it is one. of the most histor- ] -ical spots in America and one of the very oldest that is still standing with
 out material alteration from the ap-
 pearance it Presented more than 250
 years ago. Hundreds of tourists visit
 1t annually, and it has been estimated that over 100000 pictures of it have
 been taken in one way or another. i picture of it was printed in the No vember, 1903, issue of the Ladies Home Journal in competition with
 others as the most famous old home in
 America, and it was awarded the prize
 The property has never left the owner
 ship of the family, having passed by direct line through the possession of eight generations. and it is now owned by Miss -Rebecca Fafrbank. Miss Bessie Brown Of Phoenix, belongs to the twelfth generation from Jonathan F'airbank, the progenitor of the family in America.
 The old house has the original gam brel roof, and there is a large lean-tO. the caves of which come almost to the ground. It is a spacious structure. and seems from the picture to also have an addition at either end. The ceilings are low, some of them being hardly high enough for a taIT man to stand erect in. The frame is of solid cak. and the windows and furnishings were all brought from England. The. windows are of lozenger shaped glass. set in lead frames. The house is a Veritable museum of revolutionary days, and on the somber beams and in old-fashioned cupboards may be found scores of quaint and ancient things that would fire the heart of collector of antiques. There are numerous specimens of old pottery, china, etc. imported 200 years ago. and it is said that the. Fairbank cats of the present day drink their milk from china bowls that would be priceless to collectors 1T they had them. One most interest ing exhibit is an old fintlock gun. six rect and four inches long, that has rested by order of the succeeding own CTS of the property in the same old hooks on the wall, where it was kent in the colonial days. It is said that only the strongest kind of a man is able to lift and handle the weapon, and in It's day It did as much service against the tribesmen of that country as a can non now does in time of war, and is considered one of the most cherished relics of the old place. The chairs are also of old English oak, as is the china 1 closet, which holds one piece of Dutch 1 delft that is said to be worth it's weight in gold. There is also to be | seen an old iron lamp, used in the days l when the bowl was filled with grease | and only fiickering light was cast by | the loose wick; but it was a luxury | then to have any lamp at all.
 The family was always notable in l the town annals of pre-revolutionary | days, and since then, as everybody knows. no family in the country has | produced more statesmen. students |

CLAIM CAPTAIN
SHOT A SAILOR
CAPT. WESLEY OF GILLIAN SHIP
CREW.

A warrant charging Captain Wesley
of the Chilian ship OthellO with assault
with a deadly weapon was issued last
night and placed in the hands of Cap
tain Harry Flint for services. The
Otheno was anchored off Puuloa and
Flint went at once in quest of the cap
tain to make the arrest. Captain
Wesley is charged with shooting Jap
anese sailor named Yasuka.
According to the statement of the
Japanese and five of his countrymen,
the men shipped some days ago as
able seamen on the OthellO. The YES
sci sailed for Port Townsend Saturday
afternoon. The wind was very light
and the vessel drifted in shore in the
neighborhood of Pearl Harbor. Cap
tain Wesley dropped both anchors.
Evidently the captain did not think
the Japanese sailors understood any
thing about sailing so he decided to
secure another crew. The mate was
sent ashore and came to Honolulu
and secured four new Japanese sailors
When the latter Joined the vessel Cap
tain Wesley discharged the original six
sailors. 1t is claimed that Yasuda
was too slow getting over the side Of
the vessel and that the captain without
prOvocatiOn, shot him in the neck. No
arrest of the captain was made by Cap
tain of Police Durrant who was in the
launch alongside the vessel. The
wounded Jap was taken to the Queens
Hospital. The injury of the man is
not serious.
1t was reported yesterday that the
| Othello was aground so the tug Fear
| less went down to her assistance. 1t
was discovered that while the vessel
was close in shore she was not on the
bottom so the services of the tug were
not required.

OF THE
CHURCHES ON HAWAII
AN ORGANIZATION TO INCLUDE
ALL RACES Is FORMED AT HILO
CANDIDATES EXAMINED.

HILO, March 1S.-The session of the
Congressional Association of the Island
Of Hawaii in Hilo this week has been
the most successful church convention
ever held in this city 1t has been at
tended with enthusiasm at it's every
session, and all who have participated
in its labors so away with renewed de-
termination for their work in their local
vineyards during the coming year. The
meeting here this week is the first UNI
der new plan devised under the su-
pervision Of Rev. D. Scudder Core
spending Secretary for the Hawaiian
Board at Honolulu.
The assembly was duly organized Fri
day with Rev. William Kalaiwaa of
hailua as Moderator and D. Alawa,
Scribe. The first business was the pre-
sentation and adoption of a constitu-
ton The constitution OF the Oahu
Congressional Assembly was used as a
basis Of discussion and guide. The idea
prevailed that the constitutions for the
different islands should be as nearly
identical as practicable. This would
simplify the work and make it easier
for workers transferred from one dis
trict to another The work was enthu-
siastically taken up by the delegates
read and adopted one by one, a basis
being reached on which all the churches
of all nationalities could unite and
work as one. In this work the most lib
! eral sentiments prevailed, each nation
atty seeming to be anxious to forego
the most in order to find common
ground.
The reports from the individual
churches showed all to be in fairly good
condition. Some showed notable ad-
vances others were holding their own
and in only one or two instances was
there a decline.
Monday the convention resumed its
| labors, discussing the erection of par
! sonages and the financial condition of
/ the Hawaiian Board. So far this year
the debt of the Board has been increas-
ing at the rate of $2,1OO per month
The debt now reaches nearly the
$4,000 mark. The delegates resolved
to go home and labor hard to wipe out
this debt. Monday afternoon the as.
sembly adjourned while the Sunday
School Association was in session. Re.
ports were heard from all over the
Island showing a growing and healthy
condition in the Sunday School work
Tuesday an examination was helC
for applicants for licenses to preach
The following passed examinations anC
were granted licenses: S. K. Kawelo
Mo Man Wing, U Cho Ping, S. Sakabe
T. Inouwe and N. Washiyama. Rev
e. G. da Silva was elected a permanen
member of the Association. Wednesda!
the subjects discussed were the sup
port of pastors and Foreign and Hom
Missions. In the afternoon a delegation
went out to Honomu to hold a meeting
which was conducted in four languages
Mr.. Scudder and Washiyama spoke Il
japanese, Mr.. Gulick in Hawaiian, MI
