IN A MOMENT OF SANITY
LUNATIc BEES FOR DEATH
Implores Attending Surgeon to Kill
Him If Unable to Permanently
Restore His Reason.

Ann Arbor, Mich. Dec. 2.-Restored
from what seemed bopeless lunaey, To
complete sanity, yesterday, by a sur
gical operation at the University hospi.
tai, William Dwyer, in a momentary
period Of control after being placed on
the operating table, begged the surgeon
to kill him il it appeared that he
would always have to be crazy.
Two years ago in a smelter furnace,
ta Portland, Ohio, Dryers skull was
crushed. by being hit by steel rail.
After an apparent recovery, he became,
a month ago, rsving maniac.
In the operation it was demonstrated
that his mental trouble was entirely
due to an abscess in his brain. This
was successfully removed and a silver
plate, about two inches sqnare, fitted
in the hole that the surgeon had made
in the skull
Then the scalp was sewed in place
and the patient is well on the way back
10 his former usefulness. Dwyer is IS
years old and has a wife and two child

Diamondville, wyo., Dec 2.-Eigh'
teen miners lost their lives in an ex.
plosion late last night in the Diamond
Coal & Coke Company's mine. 1t is
believed all the men who perished yere
instantly killed What caused the dis
aster is not definitely known but the
theory advanced by the miners is that
"blow out" shot caused the dust to
explode.
The force of the explosion was felt
all over town, rocking the buildings so
violently that the occupants ran from
them. This is the second disaster. Of
the Diamond mine, February 20, 1901,
thirty.two miners perished.
Practically the whole population Of
Diamondyille, including the wives and
children of the entombed miners rushed
TO the mouth Of the shaft, and the
scenes were most pathetic.
Although men were ready to enter
the mine, the superintendent refusd to
allow it, owing to fears of afterdamp,
and it was late today before the frat
rescue parties entered the shaft, and
after that some time before the first
body was brought TO III surface
Every man in the mine persisted. and
that the loss Of life was not greater is
attributed to the explosion occurring
at night when only a small force was
employed The dead miners were most
ly Englishmen.

Residents who object to the coloniz-
ing scheme want to have the land de-
veloped as residence property, rather
than as a collection of small Portu
guese farms. The land is about the
best in the vicinity Of Honolulu, for
home purposes, and If it were opened
to the public would rapidly fill with
good residences, 1t is believed. This
would improve the whole district.
1.-THE Portuguese have already been
given what should have been the best
residence district in Honolulu" said
one of the kickers. "They have all the
slopes of unchbowl, really the best
part of Honolulu for homes, and l do
not see why they should be given land
which constitutes the best remaining
residence district that is unsettled.
There are plenty of places where small
farms can be had if the government
will offer the land it has, and the Por-
tuguese or others who want homes
should be encouraged to develop them,
should be helped in every way, in fact.
But there is no reason why Honolulu
should try to entice them by offering
the farmers the best residence property
left in the possession of the govern
ment."
Land Commissioner Pratt said this
morning that the matter had only
reached the stage of investigation so
far. There are about a thousand acres
of land held by the government in Ma
kik valley, much of it being very de-
sirable land. Pratt is looking into the
proposition of opening it up.
If the government attempts to cut up
the land and open it, suits will at once
be filed by the former owners, to set
aside the condemnation proceedings Of
years ago. 1t is claimed that all the
legal authorities support the doctrine
that land condemned for one purpose
| is considered as abandoned if used for
any other purpose. The Ii estate had
| ia acres of the land, and G. A. Brown
manager of the estate, said this morn
| ing that a claim would be put in for
it. 1--WE have been looking up the pro-
position" said Brown land there can
be no doubt that the government has
no right to the land except for the one
purpose for which it was condemned.
If the land is not needed for a water
shed the government will have to give
it up and allow the former owners to
resume their titles. Certainly it would
not be fair to us, to condemn our land
and take it away from us to use for a
watershed, and then cut it up into lots
and sell it at a big profit. If the gov
eminent doesn't want it for a water
shed it has no right to it at ALL"
! The various suits which will be
brought cover most of the thousand
acres of valuable property. The value
! has greatly increased since the govern
! ment condemned it in 1881, securing it
| for comparatively nominal prices

GENERAL SMITH
TO Be GOVERNOR

The rumor that Judge James F..
Smith, now a member of the Philip
pine Commission and secretary Of pub
lie instruction, will be the next gov
ernor general of the Philippine islands,
has, been practically confirmed from
high ecclesiastical circles
over a month ago it was stated by a
returning resident here, that Arfchbish-
op Ireland and Bishop Riordan of Cal
ifornia, two personal and intimate
friends of General Smith had made
the statement that the next governor
general of the Philippine islands would
be a Roman Catholic, and that he was
at present on the commission. This
left only one inference, namely that
the successor to Governor General
Wright would be James f. Smith.
Now the rumor is confirmed by a
positive statement contained in a let
ter to a prominent member of the
Catholic society of the Philippines, that
President Roosevelt had written to
Archbishop ireland announcing his in
tentlon of appointing General Smith
to the highest position within the gift
of the president in these islands.-Ma-
Mia Times, June 10.

TO SAVE THEM
FROM LEPROSY
Continued from page one)


bly, surprised to find such large num-
Der of children at the settlement who
are not leprous. 1t is practically GER
tain that all who remain there perma-
nently will become lepers. 1T seems
like a crime to allow such a state of af-
fairs" said Atkinson, land it certain
ly our duty is to provide a home for
them as soon as possible. Experience
with the girls home has shown that
the children who live in such home
are saved from leprosy. No matter
what was the condition of their par
ents they do not contract the disease.
We cannot therefore act too quickly in
providing the home for them her"
The home is to be in Honolulu. The
children at the settlement are not COM
PEELED to leave and occupy it. That is
a matter which is left with their par
ents, and the policy of forcing the lat
ter to part with their children is one
that will probably not be adopted. But
every opportunity will be offered to
those who are willing to have their
children saved from the dreadful dis
ease, hence the desire to hasten work
upon the new home.
The acting governor, with Land
Commissioner Pratt, President Pink
ham of the Board of Health, c. A.
Brown, A. Gartley and William Hay
wood, left for the settlement on the
Bennington, at half past two Sunday
morning, arriving off Kalaupapa at
1880. The party was met by the Ka-
laupapa Athletic Association and sew
eral concerts were given ashore in hon
or of the guests, by the leper band. A
visit was made to the site of the pro-
posed federal station and the water
supply was investigated.
There are S55 lepers at the settlement
now. This is 25 less than six months
ago, A having died and 10 new ones
having been received during the past
six months. OF the $3.50, 511 are men.
There are IA persons, including help
ers, Catholic sisters and brothers, etc,
and the 70 non-leprous children, who
are not afflicted with leprosy.
The meetings of lepers were address
ed by Acting Governor Atkinson, with
words of encouragement Commander
| Lucien Young was also asked to adj
dress the meeting at the Bishop Home.
But the scene was new to Young, and
he struck his colors. Young did not
speak.
| The acting governor was given a
governors salute of II guns as ne
boarded the Bennington on leaving the
settlement. The lepers had not seen
man-of-war for a long time, and they
had asked Lucien Young to fire some
shots for them. By way of granting
! their request the commander carrie
out a threat he had jokingly made ~
/ Honolulu, to give Atkinson some heavy
salutes if he ever came aboard tn,
Bennington. The entire settlemen
gathered on the wharf to watch tn,
little war vessel and listen to the thun
der of her guns as the acting COVER.
nor was rowed out to her.
IF anyone is anxious to help the lep.
ers, remarked the acting governor
! this morning, "he might assist in max
| ing them happy by some gifts of base
balls, bats, mits, ETC."
