KUA|WA, THE
MAUI HERO
Measures Taken to Get
Carnegie Medal
for Him.

The brave Hawaii boy of Maui
| Kuaiwa, who saved the lives of the
| .Japanese fishermen whose sampan cap
| sized Off Lahaina during the great
| storm of March Z, is to be given 6
| Carnegie medal for heroism. Acting
| Governor Atkinson, who has already
caused the boy to be publicly thanked
at Lahaina for what he did, has written
| to f. NJ Wilmot of Pittsburg, secretary
and manager of the Hero Fund set
aside by Andrew Carnegie for just such
eases, and has procured to be sent with
his letter affidavits reciting the facts of
the rescue. The Hero Fund is an en-
dowment of $5,oo0,0o0 set aside by An
drew Carnegie for the benefit of ''the
dependents of those losing their lives in
heroic efforts to save their fellowmen,
for the heroes themselves if injured,
and to provide medals to be given in
commemoration of heroic acts
The three affidavits given below, re-
ceived at the Governor office Satur-
day, tell tale that is calculated to
make the blood thrill, and are certainly
proof that the Maui hero deserves the
medal:

poses and says as follows:
I am japanese fisherman, living at
Lahaina, Maui On the eth day of
March, A. d. 1906, / was one of the oe-
cupants of japanese sampan, which
was trying to enter the port of Lahaina
during the storm that was raging on
that day. The boat was occupied by
myself and others, and on reaching the
entrance, the high waves capsized the
boat and we were all thrown into the
water. Some reached the shore, but /
with few others were being carried to
sea by the strong current, and being
pounded to death by the high waves.
Not having sufficient strength to reach
land 1 was being carried out and was
on the point of giving up hope, when
one Kuaiwa, a native fisherman, came
toward me with board. Giving me
one end he then tried to make for land
but the current was too swift. He
could have gone back to land by him
self but being burdened with me it was
not possible. He stayed with me, how
ever, and we were both carried far out
to sea. / was on the point of giving
out number of times but Kuaiwa en-
couraged me and l managed to cling to
the board he had brought out. We
were in the water it seemed to me about
two hours, and at last by the efforts of
Kuaiwa we were able to get through
the line of breakers some distance down
the coast line. / was nearly dead when
we reached safety. With medical at
tendance I was able to be around after
a few days. 1 know that without the
help of Kuaiwa / would be dead man
today, and for his heroic rescue I am
very grateful.

TO the same and to the struggle of the

There was a raging sea flowing at the
time and with strong current running
out to sea. A number of the men in the
water were unable to make land
against the sea and waves and were fasL
being taken out by the current. At
this time when it was evident that I'M
less help was forthcoming the men
were doomed, a Hawaiian man named
kuaiwa with a crew of natives.

tempt to reach the men in the water
The boat was thrown on the rocks and
broken. Kuaiwa jumped into the water
and brought one man ashore. Then he
took plank and jumped into the water
again to go after another man farther
out in the sea. On reaching the man.
he found that the current was too
strong for him to make land with b;s
burden, and he and the man he sough1
to rescue were carried out to sea- He
stayed with his man for at least an
hour in the high surf and raging sea
and at last succeeded in making land
some distance down the coast, where the

GUARDING THE CZAR.

One of the most interesting features
of official life In st. Petersburg is the
intricate system by which the czar's
life is safeguarded. Since the tragic
death of the Grand Duke Sergius the
spy system has become more compli-
Gated than ever. until now there are
whole regiments of officials and care
fully picked men and women whose
duty it Is to guard the czar.
These officials are scattered through
the ministry of the interior, the secret
police and the ministry of war. The
inner circle of the system is the dread
ed third section" of the secret police
the men who are charged with the
guardianship of the czar's person.
These men are highly educated, are
artists In disguise and possess extraor-
dinary knowledge and power. High
officials, nominally their superiors in
rank. dread the vicinity of one of
these men, lest their most innocent
act--a call on a friend. a journey for
health or pleasure-be construed into
a sinister act demanding explanation.

INGERSoIh ON NAPOLEON.

little while ago 1 stood by the
grave of the great Napoleon-a mag
niflcent tomb of gilt and gold. 1 saw
him take an empire by the force of
his genius; saw him upon the fright
ful field of Waterloo. when chance
and fate combined to wreck the for
tunes of that former king; and saw
him at Saint Helena, with his hands
crossed behind him; gazing out at the
sad and solemn sea
1 thought of the orphans and Wild
ows he had made; of the tears that
had been shed for his glory; and of
the only woman who had ever loved
him pushed from his heart by the
cruel hand of ambition: and 1 said
would rather have been a French
peasant and worn wooden shoes;
would rather have been that poor
peasant with my loving wife by my
side, knitting as the day died out in
the skies, with my children upon my
knees and their arms about me.
1 would rather have been that man
and gone down to the tongueless ST.
lence of the dreamless dust, than to
have been that impartial impersona-
ton of force and murder known as
Napoleon the Great."-Robert G. In

Like a bold, bad, unregenerate son,
BY the spirit of mischief goaded.
An ounce of powder and three of shot
He had dumped into the carbine's
% muzzle,
And glOated over his hellish plot
Like n child with Chinese puzzle.
Then he hied away to a safe retreat
Meath a stone wallis friendly cover;

"Till the din of battles over"
Then came a burst of thunder sound;
The old man-where was he?
Curied like a squash vine on the

TARIFF SHOULD BE LOCAL.

The demand of the California sugar
growers that the reciprocity treaty
with Cuba be annulled and the high
tariff on sugar revived proves once
more that the tariff is a strictly local
issue.
IL California wants to protect ner
sugar growers why should she not be
allowed to place any tariff on sugar
she might deem expedient? But II
Illinois produces no sugar and does
not wish tariff to burden her con-
sumers why should she be forced 10
submit to the unjust tariff?
In Nebraska, where there is no
timber from which to make lumber,
why is it not just and right to admit
all kinds of foreign lumber free Of
duty? The people need it and they
have no home manufactures to pro-
tect Why should they be forced to
submit to a high tariff demanded by
Oregon. Washington and other timber
states which want the tariff to protect
home mills from Canadian lumber?
. The same is true of every other pro-
duct States that are non-producers
have a right to secure commodities as
cheaply as they can, while states hav-
ing special interests to protect may
burden themselves as they see fit.
In Texas. where swarms of free
trade democrats reside. everybody is
an advocate of a high tariff against
Mexican cattle. Then II the Dakotas
and Montana want cheap cattle from
Mexico, should they be denied this
privilege simply to protect strictly To-
cal interests of Texas?
The tariff under its present ar
rangement Is a leveling and merciless
master. exactinG a like tribute from
all. whether able or willing to bear
the burden. and entirely regardless of
the needs and requirements of the
various communities.
1t is as though father stood his
10 sons-the big. little. strong, weak,
and lame, all in one row and
demanded a gift Of 800 from each
simply because the biggest and
strongest was willing to give that sum.

NATION WITHOUT RHEUMATISM

A writer in France de Demain,
Paris, says that rheumatism is prac-
tically unknown in Japan. This con-
dition sis explained by the extraordi-
nary sobrlety OF the race, the MEM
bers of which scarcely ever touch
meat and live practically on rice and
dried fish. Add to this a passion for
water under all OF its forms, for not
only do the Japanese take two or
three daily baths in all seasons, but
they drink such a quantity of pure wa
ter that there is resultant lavage OF
stomach and kidneys"

WORSE THAN MURDER.

The physical death of Frank Steun-
enberg. former governor of Idaho,
who was assassinated at his home last
Saturday evening. the merely natural
event of passing from earth. is moth
Sng compared to the diabolical sys-
tenn of revenge which caused his
death.
Death. to courageous man. has no
terrors. Physical dissolution IL but q
mere breath in the wind, closing of
the eyes. u slight clenehing of the
hands. and all Is over.
But the absence OF a sterling char
acter from the earth. the cowardice
which took him off the ingenious and
supremeiy cruel Vaccinations of the
murderer. the undying thirst for re-
venge which was nursed for over six
years. and the startling secrecy by
which the murderer laid the death
dealing machine in the unsuspecting
mans own threshold-these are the
alarming and serious features of this
crime.
With such a system of secret crime
abroad. who Is safe from the bomb or
the dagger? What fearless man hav-
ing done his plain duty, may not next
taIl victim to such dastardly and
fIendish consplrators?
Under pressure of such a system it
may be the girl working in your own
kitchen. 1t may be the next door
Deighbor. it may be an everyday as
sociate--no one Is certain of his
ground For the slightest offense
against this murderous cabal. this
secret band of assassins, nursing their
Imaginary wrongs. and fermenting
their passions with schemes of r.
Senge. any unsuspectlng and fearless
official or private citizen may become
Q victim to such a plot!
Murder is a mild word compared to
the name of the crime which resulted
In Steunenbergs death. Conspiracy
is a tame word compared to dlabolicai
system which has gloated over
this deed for six years.
II II time the country we're aroused
and such hotbeds OF anarchy as Colo
rado and Idaho have presented in the
past few years were forever crushed
out.
The murder of Frank Steunenberg
be not blow at the trusts or monopo-
Hes which have cursed the land. It Is
not a blow at tyrant who inflicted
cruelty upon innocent people. 1t is a
blow at the very heart OF the law OF
the land.
When steunenberg asked for fed
eral troops In the Occur d'Alenes. the
entire northwest was crying out
miners. Steunenberg had waited un-
Ill he was censured by the public, be-
fore asking for soldiers. for he hoped
20 put down the trouble without harsh
measures.
After this leniency and indulgence
on his part, after ne had given the
miners every opportunity to reach a
peaceable and honorable arrangement
he must pay this terrible penalty, six
years after the incidents happened.

After several years. experimenting,
officers of the Pennsylvania railway
have come to the conclusion that di-
rectly behind a locomotive is a bad
place for sIeepers or any other cars
which are used by passengers. For
this reason an order has been issued
that Gin all instances baggage car,
whether the car is needed for baggage
purposes or not, must be the first car
of the train" This Is the first Off
cial acknowledgment from a railway
company that the middle of a train
is the safest place to ride. Recent
accidents have convinced many rail-

of passenger trains, but also the rear,
should be protected by baggage car,
