CT NERAL FUNSlON'S
NARROW ESCAPE

MONTEREY, July 22.-General Fred
guinaldo and hero of many hard fought
skirmishes in the Philippines, had a
narrow escape Friday from a most
prosaic death in a collision between a
Monterey and Pacific Grove trolley car
and the vehicle which was conveying
the General and his staff, Lieutenants
Long and Mitchell from the Hotel Del
Monte to the Preside.
The Generals party left the hotel
about 2 o'clock for the Preside in a
carriage driven by Morris Smith, Col
Wards most trustworthy driver. When
opposite the Pacific Ocean House the
driver for some reason decided to cross
the railway tracks, and without a
backward glance at an approaching
trolley car less than twenty yards dis
tant, put his decision into effect. The
result was a frightful crash, which
threw the occupants of the vehicle to
the pavement in a heap and sent the
frightened team gathering up the street
with the battered carriage dangling at
their heels.
The wounded and bleeding officers
were assisted to a neighboring store
and telephone call for the Preside
ambulance sent in. General Funston
was bleeding from severe cuts received
from contact with the asphalt pave
ment, but no bone were broken. Lieu
tenant Long was severely bruised about
the head and face and sustained
severe sprain of the left arm. Lieu
tenant Burton Mitchell was bruised and
received severe internal injuries which
will confine him to his bed for some
time. The driver, to whose neglect
the accident was due, escaped without
a scratch. No blame whatever is at
tached to the motorman, who could not
possibly anticipate the unguarded
of the driver. The injured
officers are resting easily and General
Funston believes he will be able to at
tend the general inspection at the Pre-
sidio on Monday

GREAT CALAMITY in THE
HOUSE OF THE OCTOPUS

The octopus family out at the aqua
rum has met with a perfectly appal-
ling catastrophe, and every member of
the household but one has become
squid. That is to say, they are all
dead, but one. When an octopus dies
he at once becomes squid and people
dry him and other people, some other
people, eat him at luaus, and places.
You see, the aquarium building has
never quit settling, and so the big
glass fronts to the tanks crack and
leak at intervals, and must be re-
placed. To do this, of course, the tank
must be emptied, and the fish taken
out and put somewhere else. This hap
pened TO the house of the octopus, and
naturally the family had to move out
while the repairs were going forward.
Now a fish does not like a man near
" so we'll as a man likes fish. You
never heard of a fish catching man
unless the fish happened TO be shark

JOB
ON DITCH
Another Fever Outbreak
on the Island Of
Molokai.

PUkOO, Molokai, August &C. W.
Renear, accompanied by four assist
ants, left Honolulu for KohaIa on the
Likelike last Tuesday, to look after
the concrete work on the KohaIa
ditch. In the hold of the steamer was
also large amount of heavy machin-
cry, which is to be used for this work.
Mr.. Renear expects to be absent
from Honolulu about two and a-half
or three years. This length of alb
sence indicates to some extent the
magnitude of the Kohala ditch enter
prise. The entire length of the ditch.
estimated at thirty-three miles, is to be
concreted-sides and bottom. This is
owing to the porous condition of the
lava across and through which the
ditch is being constructed. Mr.. Re-
near did a similar work on the eleven
mile Maui ditch.
Another epidemic of fever has broken
out at Halawa, mainly among young
people. The symptoms appear to be
the same as those of the fever pre-
vailing when Acting Governor Atkin-
son, DR.. Yost and others found three
dead at Pelekunu on the famous expe-
dition of several months ago. 1t would
seem a wise thing for the Board of
Health to send supply of medicines
to Halawa to be dispensed by the
school teacher.

men good deal less than some men
like squid. Consequently, when the
octopus family come to be man handled
in moving, it all got panicky and died

knobby little chap that is not old
enough yet to know how to get scared
to death 1t isn't old enough to know
much of anything but hunger. And it
looked mighty lonesome all by itself
