now KILAUEA LOOKED
THIRTY YEARS AGO

Here is an entry from the Volcano
House books made by the late Premier
Walter Murray Gibson on September
6, 1875:
The Kilauea lake had risen to with
in thirty feet of the top of it's highest
bluff, or about ninety feet whilst Ha-
lemaumau lake and the Kilauea-iki pit
were full and boiling over, and pouring
forth streams of lava, some flowing in
to the Kilauea lake and others flowing
in a southeast direction towards the
basin of the main crater. I observed
new boiling pool about 800 yards
southeast of Halemaumau, and out
side of the high en1bankment that en-
closes the two principal lakes. After
my return to the Volcano Hotel at
later hour after night had set in, I
rode with Mr.. Scha efer to a point in
the north bank of the great crater and
we observed the two lakes in a high
state of activity, and Illuminating the
sky above in most brilliant manner.
During the night we could observe
from our beds the jets of lava leaping
above the entertainments of Kilauea
and Halemaumau, SO that the lava
had risen over 100 feet in these lakes
since our first observation on the 7th."

TAKEN FROM
ROCK PILE
Leniency. to Kumalac
and Johnson is
Temporary.

An inquiry was telephoned from the
Attorney Generals office yesterday
evening to High Sheriff Henry, as TO
the reported Ieniency shown to Jonah
Kumalae and Enoch Johnson in tax
ing them in" from hard labor at the
road quarry.
The High Sheriff reported that the
action for the present was only tenn
porary, being taken at the request of
A. S. Humphreys, one of the attorneys
of the prisoners while their trial was
pending Mr.. Humphreys asked that
the hard labor be suspended until he
could have certain certificates prepar-
ed
Whether the certificates are to be
medical ones for a case of 'cruel and
unusual punishment or legal ones in
the way of an appeal to the, United
States Supreme Court remains to be
seen.
In the event of an appeal Kumalael
prison until it was disposed of, which
would probably be for about a year,
and as they would not be held to hard
labor in that time they would have to
serve the sentence of hard labor after
ward if the appeal went against them.
Such. at least. is the view of the At
torney General subject to a possibility
of the prisoners being admitted to bail
pending the appeal.

About Bathing

We recently told of IL Cecil county
man Who>p Eo1St w,lS that he hadn't
washed his cat;rr body for thirty years,
and that there WAS not Il healthier man
in the State. He insisted that soap in
jurcd more persons than it benefited.
Nobody believed him, and treated him
as 4 crank on the subject of bathing.
New. at Il meeting of the Promotion of
Health Club of Chicago DR.. Mary Sey-
mour and DIR. Price agreed THAT 'peo-
pie are better without bathing" DIR.
Price asserted that 1--WE are not dirty
enough. In my practice | have noticed
that tn" most sickness and the highest
mortality is among those who use soap
and water and are particular about
bathing In England the suggestion
that the liberal use of soap has. impaired

Those Pension Frauds

UNLESS you concede that the entire
Pension Department Of the Government
at Washington Isl honeycombed with
corruption. it is difficult to imagine how
pensions could he secured for Il num-
Der of claimants, who had never even
been mustered into the United States
service.
How could 50 lupablc Il violation of
law be effected?
Yet. ten members of the Pension
Board of Review have been asked to re
sign for granting pensions to members
of McI.anr's Pennsylvania Regiment
which was never mustered into the ser
vice of the Government. The Review
erS claim in defense of their action that
they were rushed with business and
passed the applications by accident.
Will the public believe that statement?
If that defense holds good, what quail
ity of men is the Government tolerl ting
i'll its public offices?
Now, the report comes from Washing
ton that the MclMne applications were
passed upon the order of Il high official
in the Pension Office.
This Is worse and more of it.
