was killed at Balaklava in the charge
of the Six Hundred; my mother was
left in comfortable circumstances and
lavished a wealth of affection on my
sister, Mary and myself. Mary was
the younger by two years and a very.
beautiful girl. Until she reached her
fifteenth year she was my constant
companion. About this time Mary
asked my mother to let her go to Brus-
sells, with dear girl friend, who WAS
about to finish her education there,
and it was arranged that she should
remain at the seminary of Mademoi-
selle Villiers until they became pro-
ficient in the French and German lam
guages, as we'll as in music. Mary
wrote to me weekly, her letters being
girlish descriptions of the pleasant
times she was having on the continent.
After she had been abroad some eight
months she came home for a few
weeks. Shortly after returning to tho
seminary, I noticed a change in the
tone of her letters, something hard to
describe. She seemed to be just as
affectionate, but there was a sort of
restraint, and I felt that / was not;
enjoying her full confidence as in the;
dear old home days. Then came q

insect Balloons.

Insects enjoying aerial navigation
by the use of balloons were recently
caught by French naturalist, who
noticed them as small, bright objects
floating in the air and behaving as
if they were being steered. He caught
some of them and found them to be
viscous bubbles one-fourth of an inch
long, Of uniform dimensions, and
showing iridescent reflection. Each
balloon was suspended by the feet OF
an insect resembling the hornet fly.

that she could not get on very we'll,
was much surprised some weeks ago
to see the young lady return home
again with all her belongings. The
old man listened very attentively to
her story, and then went to his desk
and wrote a note to his son-in-law
which he gave to his daughter, as
surfing her that her husband would
receive her kindly after this. The
pair, on reading the letter, found in it
the following notice:

and were reconciled.

champagne, which natives call "sim-

was rather deaf. with the question,
"Simkin, n omsahib?" AS the lady
did not hear the question. he repeated
it in little louder tone, and she

her. Whether, he thought it was q

know, but anyhow he promptly filed

The wall damaged the pump and the
water flooded the stump so that the

could not be shut off.
Diver Herb Young was employed to
work under the water and try to
close the gates that shut off the water,
He succeeded recently in doing so and

THE GOVERNORS
FIRST MESSAGE
CAUSE OF DEFICIT.
Continued from page 2)

CAUSE OF DEFICIT.
An examination of our expenditures
shows not so much reckless extra
vagance as the wide range of service
we are attempting to render from our
general revenues; and, therefore, to
cut out extravaganza will not entire
ly meet the emergency, but we must
do away with the least important func-
lions of the government and provide
for special services by special charges.
This, gentlemen, can only be done and
can best be done, by the Legislature.
Our experiment of government
will fail unless the people can be made
to recognize the full responsibility of
citizenship; that no government has
any resources except those obtained
fro mthe people; that under our Ter
ritorial Act we cannot bond a deficit,
but must pay as we go. Therefore,
if we are to prove worthy of the pri-
vileges granted us by Congress, we
will face this situation squarely and
adopt such measures as will offer the
best solution.

could perhaps best illustrate the idea
somewhat as follows
SEGREGATION OF EXPENDITURES
Such a commission might devise a
plan by which the next Legislature
could select and segregate as Terrific
rial matters-the care of the insane
and of our unfortunates at Molokai
the expenses of a Territorial penitenti-
airy, the cost Of superintendent Of each
general department such as Public
Works, Education, Finance, etc.
To meet all of which a fair proportion
Of the revenues Of each Island or Dis
trict could be set apart. Against the
remaining revenue of each Island could
be charged the proportion spent in each
district for public Improvements, po-
lice, education, etc, the surplus, if any,
remaining to the credit of each Island.

Such a plan would, perhaps tend to
satisfy i'm part our disappointment at
the failure of county government, and
yet it would not conflict with the Or
ganic Act, nor need it increase the pub

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
HIS CANDIDACY

E. P. Dole has Withdrawn as can
didate for appointment to the Ter
ritorial Supreme bench, This news
received here this morning in a cable
gram. The withdrawal of the ex-
attorney general for the appointment
to the Hawaiian Supreme Court came
as a surprise to his friends. 1t has
been supposed by them that he would
continue to allow his name to be con-
sidered but for some reason probably
best known to himself, he withdrew.
