FEVER INCREASES
ON TOE ISTBMUS

NEW YORK. July 11.-Three sus-
pected cases of yellow fever from the
Panama Canal zone We're. taken from
the steamer Advance when she arrived
We're removed to Hoffman Island for
obs, >rvation. The suspected cases were

and Frank Namact, from Texas.
From Colon the steamer brought the
body of the late Secretary to Gov
ernor Magoon, Samuel Y. Hirsch. who
died of yellow fever at Panama
George G.. Matlock. of Louisville, KY.
Superintendent of a dock at Christobal
who was among the passengers of the
Advance, said:
Things are very bad at the isthmus.
The diseases prevalent are measles,
chagres fever and malaria, and there
was one case of bubonic plague. The
dead train runs from Colon to Monkey
Hill Cemetery. mile and a half south
of Colon, always once and sometimes
as often as IA times a day, and it some
times has as many as four collins
aboard. In fact, there is so much yell
low fever about that they keep 10
graves always ready for cases of
emergency.
The working clerical force in the
isthmus is about 80 per cent short. One
District Superintendent I know has
work for Il clerks. and has so far only
seven. The Government seems to be
delaying the paying off of the men.
Forty-one of my mates were waiting
for Their money in order to catch this
steamer but only six got it in time to
SAIL
Miss A. A. Robinson, of New York,
who had been a hospital nurse on the
isthmus, also returned on the Advance.
Miss Robinson said she had been about
a year in the isthmus and was very
glad to be back again.
The supply of nurses" she said, is
beginning to fall off, and by fall the
hospital at Panama will be very short
handed None of those who are leaving
now will return to Panama and many
others will leave as soon as possible
The pay. considering the conditions
that prevail is not sufficient. The
sickness there is increasing and condl-
tions are becoming worse

has been eclipsed in a matrimonial
way. Information from Owingsville,
KY, is that down in the hills of Tay-
lor county lives Matilda Jane Ayres,
known from one end of the State to
the other as the woman who has been
married nine times and never yet been
separated from husband by the
divorce route. She has just been mar
ried for the ninth time, and is believed
to hold the world s record for much
married woman. She is now only 33
years old and almost as pretty as she
was when, at the age of 16 years, she
eloped from the little country school
house with Morgan Ellet, a handsome
young mountaineer.
Eight graves in her own private
cemetery, all headed by gravestones
exactly alike, mark the resting places
of the eight husbands who have tasted
the joys of being loved by this pretty
mountain girl The gravestones all
have cut in them: ''Beloved husband
of Matilda Jane-till we meet again.
All that is different from the others
is that the name of the latest dece-
dent is inserted in the blank space.

MORE LAND
FOR CHURCH
Robertson Lot Is to Be
Added to Yard Of
st. Andrews.

Bishop Restarick of the Protestant
Episcopal Diocese of Honolulu has
completed arrangements for the pur-
chase of the Robertson property, ad-
joining Emma Square on the Waikiki
side. This will be an addition to the
cathedral grounds which has been much
desired because this lot, has shut the
priory school grounds off from COM
munication with Emma Square While
the purchase has not been completed, it
being necessary that certain formalities
be complied with. among them the Sc
curing of the consent of all the heirs.
an agreement has been reached which
means that the church will own the
property within a very short time The
consideration is said to be $4,000.
Extensive improvements are contem-
plated within the cathedral yard in
the near future. The priory school,
which still occupies the original build
ings consecrated by Bishop Staley
years ago, is to be entirely rebuilt
Bishop Restarick already has some of
the money for the new buildings in
hand and is working to raise more
Before many months work will be be-
gun on the addition to ST. Andrews
cathedral which is now in an unfinish-
ed state. An architect has already
done some work in modifying the ori-
ginal plans which were far too elabor-
ate for a city of this size A search
is being made for building stone that
present structure which was brought
from England
The carving in the interior of the
cathedral has been little noticed by the
public but when studied it shows won-
derful diversity of design. There are
hardly two capitals or two corners of
column base thai are alike, yet some
of the designs are SO nearly alike that,
it takes close observation to discover
the difference. Many of the capitals
are unfinished as yet
The pending purchase of property to-
gether with the recent purchase of the
place, fronting on Bereta-
mia avenue gives a cathedral yard of
large proportions, opening on two sides
of Emma Square, on Emma street and
on Beretania avenue. Within this
space are 10 rated many institutions.
Beside the cathedral there is ST. Peters
Chinese Chapel, the Sunday school
building, the ST. Andrews Priory school
and Iolani College. Besides the prop
arty described above the church owns
some of the lots on Beretania avenue
directly in front of the cathedral. At
present these are under lease

AFTER MR.,
MOSQUITO
Good Work Of Catholic
Brothers on
MoIokai.

Among matters that may be present
ed at the Board. of Health meeting this
afternoon is that of the mosquito pest
President Pinkham finds that the pest
is again becoming intolerable in some
districts. Already steps have been
taken to abate the nuisance
Another thing will be a question of
reimbursement to the Catholic Brothers
who are great aids to the authorities
in helping the patients at Kalaupapa
and Kalawao, Molokai The board de-
pends almost entirely on the Catholic
brother and sisterhood for aid in the
care and social welfare of the young
and helpless in the work there 1t has
been found necessary to send a Brother
to halaupapa to act as dispenser owing
to inability to secure other reliable and
steady help. Most of the brothers come
from Belgium at considera BILE expense
to the Catholic Mission, and President
Pinkham deems it but fair that the
mission be reimbursed. The monthly
stipend asked by the brothers is very
small.

HAY AND THE BREAD WINNERS

NEW YORK. July 3.-A semi-offi-
cial announcement was made today
that John Hay was the author of
''The Bread Winners, the mysterl-
Gus and much discussed novel which.
twenty-three years ago, was the reign
ing literary sensation. It's authorship
has been puzzle to the world of
letters ever since it's publication.
Those who were in touch with the
publishers of the work have never
denied that Hay was the author.
Henry Alden, the veteran editor OF
Harper's Magazine. said today: 81
have not absolute evidence at hand
to show that Hay wrote THE Bread
Winners but I think no mistake
would be made in saying that he did.
For several years | have understood
so and | think there can be no /ques-
tion of it,
..The Bread Winners was publish
ell by Harpers. 1t sharply criticises
the methods of the labor unions. The
book is noted for its epigrams.

CALLING DAY FOR
ACTING GOVERNOR

Yesterday was calling day with the
Acting Governor. At half-past two
O'Clock in his tall hat and his frock
coat and accompanied by Colonel Jones
in full dress uniform, Mr.. Atkinson
was whirled away to the Naval Station
to pay his respects to Captain Lyon and
Iieutenant C Commander Niblack. and
was received, of course with the full
regulation salute to which the office
that he represents entities him.
/. After that the carriage horses were
turned toward Waikiki. and the Acting
Governor and his chief of staff paid
their respects. and the respects of the
territory, officially. to Major Van Vliet
and the officers OF Camp Mckinley.
Lastly, the Acting Governor and
Colonel Jones paid their respects to
Brigadier-GeneraI Davis, L. s. A, re-
tired, who has come to make his future
home in Honolulu.

charter. 1t seems to me that, under the
provisions as they stand, they are ask
ing for good deal. Say man buys
stock in this company, thinking he is
becoming interested in a railway? The
owners of the majority of the stock
under that charter, can take the capital
and use it for building a canning fac

me. But, as l said before, l have not

PAXTON NOT
READY To co
Agent Of immigration
Bureau Is to Sail
Later.

The agent of the Immigration Bu-
reau, Mr.. e. r. Paxton, did not leave
for the mainland on the Sonoma yes
terday as had been the intention. to
study the immigration question at Ellis
Island, New York, with a view to sup
plying the labor demand of the islands
with white men, Italians from Northern
italy, Portuguese, or others. The de-
parture of MIR. Paxton, however. is on V

I1nmigra ton to near from the various
plantations as to just how much labor
will be taken by each, and what in
ducements will De held out to the la
oor ers to get them to come to Hawaii.
OF course, it is understood that white
laborers Will not be apt to look with
"a great deal OF favor on any propogi
ton that does not hold out at least an
eventful hope of the possession of some
land for himself by the intending i'm
migrant. the white laborer from Eu-
rope differs from the Asatic in THIS
that While in many cases he sends
money back to the old country. he does
not do that to lay by fortune for his
own enjoyment there, intending to re-
turn and spend his last days where he
spent his first.
He comes to the United States per-
manently to better his condition. and
in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred
he intends to become citizen of the
country, to raise his family and to end
his days here. The money that he
sends back to his old home is either fo.
the support of his parents, or to help
some of his family to come out to the
new land and join him.
In dealing with this class of immi-
grants, of course the Bureau of Immi
grafton must be prepared to offer some
thing more definite than would suffil e
TO interest Chinese Or Japanese coolies.
Mr.. Paxton will go on his mission a
little later, and when he does go will be
prepared to say how many laborers
places Will be found for, and what will
be done for them. And thus he will be
able to avoid making more than one
bite of a cherry.

A RECEPTION
To GOVERNOR
Friends Have Already
Begun to Plan
for Event.

81 do not know when the Governor is
coming back" said Acting Governor
nothing from him..
However, it is thought from some
things that Governor Carter let fall
ures upon returning to Honolulu about
the middle OF next month. OF course,
it is entirely possible that his talk with
the President may have changed his
plans in this respect. Roosevelt may
have urged an immediate return, or he
may have suggested that the Governor
is in need CT a vacation. and might as
well begin taking it now that he is
absent from the islands.
1t is known, at all events, that the
friends of the Governor have been urg-
ing him for some months past to take
the rest that all of them feel that he
greatly needs. 1t was planned, even
Governor, when that body should con-
clude it's labors, was to go away for a
long rest to the mainland, coming home
with the Taft party. That was when
it was supposed that the Legislature
would do all that it planned to do in
the ordinary sixty day session The
acric1 LOT fo-11 ba6 oil ,,.l
expected to finish up their work, appro
priation bills and all, in sixty days.
Then came the extra session, with
it's added burden of work, and of course
it was impossible for the Governor to
go while the lawmaking body was still
at work. Lastly just prior to the ad-
journment. Secretary Atkinson was
called away to the mainland on most
imperative business, and again the
: Governor was knocked out of his rest
Maybe if he had not been. there would
never have been any talk of resignation
at all. At all events, many of his
friends felt that, when they We're urg-
ing him to reconsider his determina-
tion. and stay with his task.
Finally, when Jack came back and
the Governor did get away, it was upon
the mission which has terminated in an
assurance OF support from the Presi-
dent. and the determination of Carter
to stick to his post
Now his friends here are beginning to
talk of his return, and upon the proper
kind of reception to give him when he
does come back. There can be no doubt
that steps will be taken to make the
event memorable. Senator d. P. r.
Isenberg, who is now on Kauai, will
take the matter in hand, for one, it is
said, and viii have plenty of co-opera-
tion when it comes to the arrange
ments. All that will be necessary will
be an official announcement of the date
of Governor Carter's return. Very
probably he is now on his way to
Lake Tahoe, where Mrs. Carter is
awaiting him.

PEABODY Will BE GOVERNOR
Republicans Decide on Acton in Cot
orado.

DENVER Col, Jan. 3.-Arnounce-
ment has been made from Repr
sources that when the General AS
sembly convenes in joint session to
canvass the vote of State officers, as
required by the constitution, two sets
of returns will be presented from
the Denver Election Commission. The
majority report will show plurality
of about 1000 for. Alva Adams, the
Democratic candidate for governor,
while the minority report will set
viii declare that Governor Peabody
carried this county by plurality sui
ficient TO overcome Adams plurality
of about 5000 in the remainder of the
State. No particulars concerning this
minority report have yet been made
public. 1t, however, is confidently
asserted by the Republican leaders
viii be supported by the full Republi-
can vote in the Legislature; that the
certificate of election will be awarded
to Governor Peabody, and that he will
be inaugurated as governor for a sec
ond term on January 10, the date set
by the constitution. This line of ac-
ton according to the view of the Re-
publicans, will make it necessary for
Adams to bring contest, if he should
still care TO assert claim to the gov
ernorship.
Another announcement by the Re
pnblicans is that the Senate. when
called TO order, viii consist of p Re
publfcans and IS Democrats, with
one vacancy. 1t had been generally
supposed since the completion of the
canvass that there would be at the
outset 10 Republicans and IS Demo
cratic senators,
