A Great SchooImaster.

that it was terrible thing to lose his
respect" writes former pupil Of DR..
George Moberly, for many years head
master of the Winchester School, Eng

and impressive. In six Great School
masters" the author says that DIR. Mo-
berly would occasionally use his pow
ers Of ridlcule and sarcasm to an ex-
tent that seems scarcely fair.
He had been much annoyed by let
ters from the mother Of one Of tie
boys, begging him to see personally to
all sorts of small matters connected
with her sons health. DR.. Mobcrly
determined to put stop to this. SO
one day In public, before whole-elaSs
ne said to the boy:
"B., have heard from your mother
saying that you are to wear flannel
next your skin and to masticate your
food. See that you do it,"
tits possible to imagine the agonized
letter which went home by the next
post, begging that no more such letters
should reach the doctor.
A boy once brought to DR.. Moberly
a letter from his mother, asking for
leave out. The boy had been smoking
and the Letter smelled strongly of the

RAAS DIED
MONDAY MORNING

Albert Raas, capitalist, of San Fran
cisco and Honolulu, died yesterday
morning, supposedly in the former city
although the cablegram that convey
ed tho SAD news. received by Brain
erd H Smith, did not give the place.
1t was melancholy surprise, for
Mr. smith recently had word that Mr..
Raas was soon going to Mexico He
was second vice president of the Hidal-
go Plantation and Commercial Co,
operating coffee and other plantations
in that country.
The late Mr.. Raas was native of
France and about 81 years of age.
While in Honolulu part of the time he
was acting consul for France. He
came here about seven years ago and
became interested in sugar stocks,
taking a seat in the Stock Exchange
which he held until his death. Out of
respect for his memory the Exchange
will not hold any meeting today. Mr..
Raas was deservedly popular here. be-
ing the soul of courtesy and wearing
always a sunny demeanor. Besides
wife and two children he leaves
brother in San Francisco, member
of the firm of E. J. Lyons & Raas co.
Mr. Raas probably left a considera-
BILE estate He took ont $685. 900 life in
is worth, according to last sale of
seat there, between $4,000 and $4,000,
ard it is insured for $2500.

The luau was given in the court
house and was attended by all the
Waimea friends of the Carriers and
number from other districts.
The courthouse was beautifully dec
Grated with green's and flowers and
great credit is due Mrs. w. NJ. s.
Lindsey and Miss Neal for the success
of the luau and also the very pleasant
dance which followed.
Before the feast, Mr.. and Mrs. Car

W hich was draped with flags, and re-
ceived their many friends VINO came to
bid them goodbye and extend good

.H|L.O JAIL
UNHEAL THY
Why the Territorial Pris-
oners We're Brought
to Honolulu.

The immediate cause for the re-
moval of the prisoners from Hilo to
the Oahu Prison." said Attorney Gen
eral Peters yesterday, was the report
made by Dr. Mays to the effect that
the Hilo Jail was overcrowded. and in
IA most insanitary condition. But
their removal was certain to have
come, sooner or later, anyhow.
You see, when county government
was first adopted, there was a desire
islands to leave the prisoners in the
outside jails where they were, in order
that their labor might be available on
the roads and elsewhere. High Sher-
iii Henry, however consulted me about
the matter, in view of the Mays re-
port and in view also of the court de-
cisions to the effect that misde-
meanants could not be kept in the
same prisons as felons, and 1 told him
that not only was it a wrong to the
prisoners to leave them where they
were, but that he was rendering him
self liable to suits for damages.
1T was a system that was likely to
work harm in various ways. If the
prisoners should have had writs of ha-
beas corpus sued out in their behalf,
a condition of affairs would have been
created that the County Attorneys
would have found it difficult to cope
with, and there would have been no
end to the confusion created. Taking
it altogether, / advised that the pris-
oners be removed from Hilo, and if
they were removed from there it fol-
lowed that they had to be removed
from all the islands. They must all
be treated alike.
And so the habeaS corpus mill set
up by the lawyers in behalf of misde-
has defeated it's own pur-
pose so far as the outer islands are
and deprived the several
outside counties of the work of the
prisoners. The habeas corpus mill has
been defeated by the High Sheriff here
by the cutting through of a back door
into the new prison on the Reef, so
that misdemeanor men need not be
taken through the main prison to reach
their quarters. In effect, THEREFOR
Oahu Prison has been made into two
prisons in one. 1t will be better for
the prisoners to be kept in the main
prison, and more expensive to the Ter
ritory to get them there.
However, if High Sheriff Henry sue
ceeds in establishing his jute mill in
the prison it will all come out even,
and the Territory will be the gamer
in the end because it will have the Ia
Dor of all the convicts to draw profit
from. and the prison may in the end
ba made Self-SuStaining

CHEERFUL LIAR
At ORPHEUM

Messrs. Auerbach and Drum, the
leading comedians with the BUTLER COM
pany, who have delighted Honolulu
audiences for the past five months,
have gathered around themselves a
company of local players and will
present on the 18th inst at the Or
pheum Theater, the celebrated three
act comedy, The Cheerful Liar Not
the least cheerful thing about this
effort of the talented players who are
devoting all their spare time in the
rehearsal of The Cheerful Liar" is
the fact that the proceeds of the per-
Torrance will go towards charity and
the further amusement of Honolulu
baseball fans.
The kona Orphanage, which depends
entirely on charity for it's existence,
and the Lusitana Athletic Club, who
have lately come into public notice
through the excellent games of base
bali they have played will be the bene-
f1ciaries. The share going TO the Kona
Orphanage will go towards feeding and
clothing poor, homeless orphans, and,
the l.. A. c. share. towards the ex-
p@nse of purchasing new uniforms.
Aside from the purpose above given
Tine Cheerful Liar is brimful of fun
and holds the interest throughout the
three acts.

BOGUS CHECKS
CAUSE TROUBLE

H Lake, criminologiSt of the County
Attorneys office, while endeavoring to
apprehend some bogus check passers
made q mistake on Saturday night
and took in the wrong man. For some
time past small Japanese merchants
have been victimiZed by paSSerS of
bogus checks for small amounts. The
matter was placed in the hands of the
County Attorney, and an investigation
was begun. Mr.. Douthitt placed Mr..
Lake in charge of the case. He VS.
tied the Japanese who had been VIC
timized and obtained a description of
the young men alleged to be passing
the checks. For two nights Lake kept
watch on several places where he
thought he would locate the man so
described. On Saturday night Lake
posted himself on Bethel street below
Hotel street. Two young men came
along and in one of them Lake
thought he recognized the one answer
ing the description given by the Japa-
nese. He emerged suddenly from his
place of hiding and stepping up to the
young man in question: told him to
consider himself under arrest. The
young man stepped back, so Lake
says, and his hand went to his hip
pocket. Lake Immediately drew his
revolver from his hip pocket, but there
being no effort on the part of the
young man to make gun display,
Mr. Lake transferred his revolver to
his coat pocket. He then escorted the
young men to the police station. There
il was ascertained that it was a case
of mistaken identity, for Lake had
gotten hold of the wrong man. The
young men were at once discharged
from custody by Sheriff Brown.
1t is quite unlikely that any more
checks of this description will be pass
ed by the forgers as the japanese are
wary of such paper and Saturday
nights incident is an indication that
the law is after them.

FIX PRICE
Of WATER
Government Will Buy a
Supply for Lahaina
Town.

Acting Governor Atkinson yesterday
authorized Superintendent of Public
Works Holloway to appoint a commits
sion to put a value on the Lahaina-
luna water supply, to the end that
enough of it may be purchased for
is urgent need for this, as in the event
that a settlement is not reached with
in thirty days the towns supply is
apt to be cut off. E. A. Southworth
will be sent to Maui by Mr.. Holloway
today to measure the water, prepara-
tory to the consideration of the value
to be placed upon it by the Commits
sion. Southworth will put in wiers to
measure the. flow, and get all other
data ready as soon as possible.
There has always been a lot of trou-
BILE about the Lahainaluna water. The
supply is taken from the Pioneer Mill
Company'S pipes, the school being
given four and one-half hours flow
every day. OF this one-half goes to
Lahaina-or four and one-half hours
flow every other day. The complaint
is made by the Lahainaluna mana ge-
ment that under this arrangement the
school does not have enough water for
its taro patches. Il saw some pretty
dry taro patches up there, too said
Mr.. Holloway yesterday, in going over
the case with the Governor. Il do
not know of any other way to settle
the matter than to appoint a COM
mission to put value upon the water,
and buy it outright. We have no
power, under the law, to condemn it,
1t was at this point that the Act
ing Governor authorized the Superin-
tendent of Public Works to go ahead
and appoint a commission. 1t is un-
derstood that this commission will
consist of one member to be appoint
ed by Holloway, one by the other
party in interest, and a third to be
selected by these two. The government
has the money to pay for Lahaina's
water supply as soon as the price has
been agreed upon but it is hardly
thought likely that thirty days will
suffice to get the water measured and
the whole matter adjusted.
