If a friend was in their midst. Akana,
the half Chinese detective came
down Achi lane but not a man or
woman moved. He walked part of the
way down it and then back to Bere-
tania street and left the vicinity.
He probably appeared on the scene
in response to a request from anoth-
er detective who had seen the re-
porter enter Chinatown.
Several young men, Chinese and Ha-
waiians, were equipped to mount bicy-
cles and when the word was announced
to carry it as fast as possible through
the streets. One was a part Chinese,
who was well dressed He wore blue
cap with a cross in the front. An
other was the young Chinaman who
was first seen nearly a month ago to
be the carrier of the winning words.
He did not wear a coat
A native announced to the reporter,
sotto voce:
Watch the Maunakea street flag
pole. That's where the winning word
is to come out
Taking a position of vantage where
the flagpole, the Prost saloon and Achi
lane could be watched at one time, the
reporter saw a Chinaman dressed in
white, with a pink shirt and Panama
hat come to the fiagpole. The coat
less bicycle carrier approached him and
in an instant after getting the word
turned about and passed the word to
the other bike riders. Instantly the
bike riders sped away, everybody on
the street was on the qui vive, and

"Nanana'' was given out. That was
at 12:45 noon. and not a police officer

scene.

CHE-FA GAMBLING STILL
DRAWS CROWDS TOGETHER

Che-fa was booming yesterday in
Chinatown. 1t is a curious thing to
record that most of those playing the
banks are Hawaiians. -
Scores of Hawaiians and chinese,
with a sprinkling of Portuguese, gath
cred at the usual haunts along Bere-
tania, Maunakea Pauahi and River
streets and Achi lane about noon wait
ing for the winning word to be an
nounced from the Hop Lee bank But
the announcement was delayed for
nearly an hour, much to the chagrin
of the waiting throngs. This was due
to the appearance of an Advertiser re
porter on the scene.
1t is true that detective" wander
ed about but his presence did not dis
turo the walters, and neither did that
of a policemen in full uniform. But
wherever the Advertiser man went,
there was muttered cursing, and the
crowds dwindled away like chaff, on
ly to reappear in the immediate neigh
borhood in the hope that the reporter
would leave them to their own sweet
devices.
The first group encountered was at
the Prost saloon, a favorite rendezvous
on Beretania street. On the makai
side of the street Chinese players sat
on their hamnches. gazing with eager
eyes up and down the street. Some
were old-timers at the game, and are
to be seen almost any day in the same
place and about the same time.
But the crowds had collected in
greatest numbers in Achi lane in the
shade of the tenements. Men and
women, Hawaiians and Chinese were
there by scores, squatted on the long
steps fronting the tenements, or re-
clining in the shade of the fences.
Other groups could be seen lounging
on Kukui street. But as the reporter
all arose and slipped away
to other gathering places.

Supervisor Lucas stated that sam
Johnson had given up the automobile
idea almost as soon as it had reached
the experimental stage.
1t was suggested by Moore, in order
to settle who had authority over all
roads, that the board grant the peti-
ton of two men to lay d water-pipe
across Vineyard street.
County Attorney stated that the
county had the maintenance of public
streets but that the Supreme Court
had in a certain measure passed upon
this point to the effect that the pow
ers of the Public Works were modified
by the coming into power of the su-
pervisors.
He thought that eventually there
would be friction on road authority
between the Public Works and the
county. The Attorney General had
rendered an opinion declaring that the
Public Works was supreme. Douthitt
differed with the Attorney General
Lucas thought that the board ought
not to encourage the supply of water
by private parties, depriving the Ter
ritory of legitimate revenue. Theodore
Sichards was merely selling water 10
ofaer people for a price. from his ar
teSian Wei.
Moore favored the granting of the
petition in order to test the county's
authority in the premises. If the Pub /
lie Works objected on the ground that
revenue was being diverted from the
Territory. the Superintendent of Pub !
lie Works could bring an injunction to
restrain Mr.. Richards from furnish
ing water from his artesian we'll to
citizens. |
Moore stated that the Superintend-
ent of Public Works had said that he
would oppose the laying of the pipe
if the matter. were referred to him.
Douthitt suggested that in case OF
injunction proceedings they would De
against those who wanted to lay the
pipes and not against Richards
Lucas moved that permission De
granted for the laying of the pipes
but that the water be not allowed 10

A nice game for two girls is for
one to have a piece of paper and
pencil and write down a proverb,
but instead Of writing it properly
only the first letter of each word
must be put and a cross instead of
each of the other letters in the word.
Then the second player must add
the proper letters over the crosses.

Glsanings and Comment.

NEARLY everyone is Interested
in the doings of the postoffice de-
partment. The postmaster-geE-
eral, Geo. B. Cortelyou. has made
his annual report which shows .
deficit of 14a millions of dollars.
He suggests that this would be
overcome by doing away with
the "franking evil" and he is
right in this respect. Hundreds
of tons of worthless matter IS
annually mailed under frank of
various government officers, de-
partments, and agricultural col
leges and the postoffice depart
ment pays the freight" in ex-
orbitant transportation rates to
the railroads. He favors improv-
ment in the rural free delivery
already established rather than
penny postage, a parcels post sys-
TEN, postal savings repositories,
etc. He asks consideration of
the matter of having bulky pei
odicals and mailable merchandise
go by fast freight" instead of
fast mail" to cut down expense;
also that the merchant marine be
encouraged so that our foreign
mails be transported under
Old Glory and improved condit-
ions. He suggests that the sec
ond-class rate be five cents per
pound. Probably his best recon-
mendation is Il at t, e Sd and 4th
class mail matter be merged at
the rate Of two ounces for one
cent. I'm this way" he says,
all merchandise parcels rot ex-
ceeding four pounds in weight
would continue to be carried at
at one-half the rate now charged
and afford a great opportunity
for distributing light packal es to
a multitude of PAGES not r h I'd
by express companies" This
would be step, although short
one, toward a parcels post. 1t is
noticeable that he is looking out
for the express companies by not
recommending anything in oppo-
sition to their interests.

our public schools, because the growth
Of the country. and the consequent in
crease in trade, commerce and all other
branches of business, the greater part
of which is done through correspond
ence, requires thousands of good, rapid
penp1an, where one was formerly need

Good writing is a necessity of our
day, and yet how few are to be found
who write, a good, legible hand.
"At present there are two styles Of
writing, the vertical and slant, being
taught in the schools of our land. Let
us briefly consider these two styles.
Which has the most points of cxcell-
ence in its favor? Which is the more
practical? The three desirable results

three essentials demanded b. the whole

public will give this their candid con-
sideration. we submit the following

3. Remember, carelessnoss and TOO
