IAUkEA'S CONTEST.


While all these preliminaries are
necessary, it by no means follows that
Iaukea s contest against Kalanianaole
viii be heard very soon.. AS rule
the House is slow to consider election
contests and it sometimes happens that
these contests go over into the short,
or last session of a Congress. The
contest against the Delegate from Ha-
waii must first be presented before one
of the three election committees of
the House. But these committees will
hardly be named before next Christ
mas, certainly not for two or three
weeks after the next House organizes
and elects Speaker. It is equally
certain that the committee, to which
the contest is assigned, Will not take it
up to hear the evidence and the aEgu-
ments of attorneys on both sides be-
fore the beginning of the New Year,
1906. and it would not be surprising
if the consideration of the contest be-
fore the committee were postponed till
February or March of next year. As
elections Committee No. 2, of which
Representative Olmsted, of Penn. is
chairman, considered the Hawaiian
protest from the Home Rulers at the
last session of Congress it is quite like
lv that the Speaker OF the next House
will refer the Iaukea-Kalanianaol
contest there for consideration. It
might also be proper to say right here
that the chances are nine out of ten
that the House committee viii find
against Iaukea. In that event, with a
House Of about 116 Republican major
itv. it is certain that the House itself
will give the contest little considera-
tion and that the vote will be over
whelming against Iaukea. Those may
sound like sweeping statements but
men who have been around the Ma
tional House with an opportunity to
observe the trying of election contests
Will recognize them as true. Many
contestant has tried to secure a larger
allowance than 1900 for the expense
of conducting his contest, as Iaukea
may think of doing. Such efforts. from
much more influential men than Iau-
kea have utterly failed. The general
policy of the House is to discourage
contests and the opinion prevails that
s.. 900 is too much anv way for the
expenses of the contestant. If Iaukea
pays his transportation from Honolulu
to Washington and back again. and
adds to that the cost of living here
three or four months, with something
for attorneys fees and for other ex-
penses. there viii be a deficit in his
personal excheguer before the rumpus
IS over.

tion was printed here yesterday. It
did not occasion much surprise in well
informed circles, where it became
known some weeks ago that the gov
ernor might prefer to quit office soon.
Whether President Roosevelt will ac-
cept the resignation or whether he will
advise Mr.. Carter to go back and re-
sumo his work, probably Mr.. Roosevelt
himself would be unable to say at this
time. 1t was stated on authority 20
day that the President had not had
opportunity yet to form any opinions
on the Hawaiian situation, as caused
by the governor s resignation. and
that he probably would not until after
Mr.. Carter arrives here and has a talk
with him.
There is considerable regret here in
official circles that Mr.. Carter has re-
signed. While those in a position to
judge, from the standpoint of the ad-
ministration. have been aware that he
was getting into numerous difficulties
with people in the islands, the Pres
ident and the Department Of the In
terror have looked upon Mr.. Carter as
very efficient governor. worthy OF
their confidence. It was stated today
that whatever action President Roos-
evelt takes in naming Governor Chr.
ter s successor, he viii be largely guild
ed by what Gov. Carter himself rec
ommends. IL the Governor is not re-
appointed he will probably, in effect.
name the man who succeeds him. And,
because of President Roosevelt's ad-
miration for the young governor the
latter will likely remain strong in
fuence with the administration in
shaping Hawaiian affairs, as far as
that task falls to the President.

NEW FUEL FROM REFUSE
Paper Pulp Furnishes Material Con-
vertihle Into en- Economical
Heat Producer.

From the refuse Of paper pulp mills
an Indiana glass worker has invented
new fuel which is said to possess
more heat units per pound than either
coal or wood and which can be manu-
featured and sold at a profit at one
half the cost of coal. The refuse, re-
ports the Chicago Tribune, combi-
nation OF soda and lime, is mixed with
crude oil until the, finished product has
consistency of putty, being manu-
Iactured much as a plasterer makes
mortar. In this state it may be cut
with spade and thrown into the fur
mace or beneath the boiler, no kindlirg
being necessary, as the material ig-
mites readily from the flame of match
and burns with an intense heat and
without smoke, except when under a
strong draft. Its success as fuel for
domestic purposes was determined
some time ago, but not until recently.
when it was used beneath an engine
boiler, had its value for manufacturing
purposes been demonstrated. In this
test a bushel basket of the fuel be-
meath 16-horsepower boiler kept
steam up for eight hours, no clinkers
and little ash remaining after the fire
had burned down. Aside from the pos
slbility Of a cheaper fuel, the invention
is OF Importance in converting the
thousands Of tons Of refuse which ev-
cry pulp mill in the country turns out
annually into valuable by product.

HEATING TOWNS NEW FIELD
Illinois Communities That Are Fur,
nished with Steam and
Eot Water.

Young men Of an engineering and me.
chanical turn Of mind are finding a
promising business in establishing
heating plants in the larger country
towns. Most of these plants, reports the
Chicago Tribune, are conducted in con-
nection with the electric light plants,
the exhaust steam of the latter being
utilized for heating water for hot
water service.
Paxton, an Illinois town. is one OF
the examples of what may be done in
this line. 1t has a hot water service, and
is now being served to IS patrons, who
claim that the experiment has proved
satisfactory. The exhaust steam of the
electric plant which is owned by the
heating company is utilized in heating
the water. A charge of 20 cents per
square foot of radiation year is made,
and at this rate it is claimed saving is
had over other kinds of heat.
Other Illinois towns that have tried
this service are Waukegan, Evanston
and Bloomington. At Bloomington
there is both a steam and hot water
service.

WORRIED ABOUT HIS GOWN
Law Student in Quandary Over Pro-

Il am not worrying much over the

earth am ever going to get a gradua-

"All that bother comes of the prac-

New York firm prepared to supply the
paraphernalia a fellow could just drop
in and try on gowns till he found one

Ware the Mustard Pot!

Even though we avoid all drafts; even
though we refuse to touch anything that
Is not thoroughly sterilized; even If we
shun the hydrant water; even if We
dodge the germs in the paper money, We
are still far from secure against trouble
we persist in using mustard on our

looks innocent enough, remarks the Chi

make it all the more dangerous. II q

appearance repealed us. something that
we would naturally shrink from in hor-
Tor, 1t could do us little harm. It is that
demure yet fascinating expression
which it takes On, especially in the pres
ence OF ham sandwich, that allures us
and finally leads us to destruction. In

spread thin layer of mustard on the
upper side of the ham and. after giving
1t graceful flip, another layer on the

Tor a thirst which sooner or later will
cry loudly for schooner. but such, alas!
is the case. DR.. David Paulseu, who has
investigated the matter. and who there
fore knows all about It, declares: TT
sands of young men buy these sand
witches and spread them over with mus
tard, and before they have finished eat
ing they want drink. Poorly cooked
and highly seasoned food creates thirst
that the town pump cannot satisfy"
1t is nonsense to hold that the average
young man is possessed Of moral char
acter which enables him to rise above
the mustard on his ham, and even above
the ham itself. 1t is not his moral char
acter, but his stomach, that must be con-
sldered. At first. perhaps, he does not
himself realize the influence that mus
tard is exercising over him. Years may
elapse before it assumes its full sway,

between him on the one side and the
