HAWAII'S POPULATION
INCREASED

SCHOOL ENROLMENT.



Assuming the proportion of children
to adults is the same now as i'm 1900
If school enrolment of 1851 took place
with a population of 154,OO1, the popula-
ton indicated by a school enrolment
of 21143 is about 100000.
Il do not know Of any reason to sup
pose that there has been a very great
change in the proportion CT adults to
school children" said the governor. at
any rate the school enrolment has in
creased SO 1-3 per cent, and it must
mean a considerable increase in popu-
lation."
A number of new schools have been
built since 1900 and it is thought
possible that a larger proportion of
all the children here are in the schools.
On the other hand, the use of truant
officers has been abandoned altogether.
Another factor which might make a
difference in the proportion of adults
and children in the Territory is that
a majority Of the departures have been
of laborers without families. 1t is
thought that these considerations may
indicate that the total population is
something less than 100000. but that
there is still probability that the in
crease over 154OO1 has been consider
able.

in California with $4,000 barrels of fuel
oil. The Enterprise will be given some
oil from her for fuel so as to make the
return to Hilo and San Francisco. The
Enterprise is now loading refined sugar
and will take a cargo of raw sugar
from the steamer Mauna Loa tomor-
row.
The S. S. Whittier which arrived last
week from Monterey brought 5000 bar
rels of fuel oil for the Union Oil Com
pany. Previous to her arrival it was
thought likely that she might be sent
to Kahului to bring about a thousand
barrels of fuel oil to this place. subse-
quently it was decided unnecessary
to dispatch her on that mission so she
sailed for Port Hartford.

one OF these mornings when the evil
mood was upon her. Agatha, the young

with anger.

She had spoken with a rising voice,
and a clasping and opening of her Ions
white fingers, so that it was no marvel
that, ere the speech was over, the
skirts of Agatha were whisking round
the door and the click of her sobs to be
heard dying swiftly away down the
corridor.
Alleyne stared open-eyed at this
tigress who had sprung so suddenly to
his rescue. There is no need for such
anger" he said mildly. 1.-THE maids

Such was a sample of the sudden

times when Alleyne had to ask himself

knight chose out his men from the
swarm of volunteers. Many an anxious
consultation he held with Black Simon,
Sam Awkward, and others of his more
experienced followers, as to who should
come. and who should stay. By All
Saints Day, however, he had filled up
his full numbers, and mustered under
his banner as stout a following of
Hampshire foresters as ever twanged
