that it makes tombstones cheaper The

Brighten. Roger Jones writes re-
garding this incident: There is an
error in the statement that Commo-
dore Jones was suspended from the
service for Selling Monterey-he was
relieved of the command of the Pa
clfic squadron for that act, not sus-
pended from the service. At the same
time our government was glad he act
ed as he did, and there is no telling
how much it FASTENED the conflict with
Mexico, which gave US an empire of
priceless value
The Commodore again commanded
the Pacific squadron during the lat
ter part of the Mexican war. His pres
ence in Hawaii counteracted possible
plans for seizure by Great Britain.
Mrs. VIM. r. Monsarrat of Honolulu
is Jones and her grandfather was a
first cousin of Commodore Catesby
Jones. She is a Kentuckian, and was
born in Clark County, Kentucky
The first progenitor of the family of
Jones in America was Capt Roger
Jones, who was born about 1925 or 1885,
His family were cavaliers and he bore
a captains commission in the army
of King Charles II. He came to the
colony of Virginia with Lord Culpep-
per in 1880.

COMMODORE THOMAS AP cATEsBY JONES' u NJ FAMOUS
IN HAWAIIAN AND CALIFORNIAN ANNALS.

Thos. ap Catesby Jones, or Commo-
dore ap Catesby as he was called, was
born in Virginia in 1888 The follow
ing is taken from Appleton's CycIope-
dia of American Biography:
His (Roger's) brother, Thomas ap
Catesby, naval officer, born in Virginia
in 1888; died in Georgetown, D. c.. May
80, 1858; entered Navy on November
p, 1906. and became lieutenant May
"a, 1872, commander, March %, 1920
and Captain March IL, 1929. From
1908 to 1912 he was engaged in
the Gulf of Mexico where he was sue
eessful in suppressing piracy, snug
Cling and the slave-trade. When the
British naval expedition against New
Orleans entered Lake Borgne in 1914,
he endeavored to intercept forty Brit
ish vessels with his small fiotilla AL
though wounded and compelled to
surrender, his conduct was much
praised. He commanded the Pacific
squadron in 1912 and took possession
of Monterey on receiving the errone-
Gus information that war existed be-
tween the United States and Mexico,
for which he was temporarily suspend
ed from the service"

NO BOUQUETS
FOR THE DEAD

There is a curious settlement in &
short grass county of Kansas, accord
ing to one who was in that part of the
, country looking after claims.
THE population said the returned
collector, lis a sort of mixture OF
Quakers and Populists. OF the latter
this nest is about the only one left in
the State
THE cemetery near the town is an
index to the character of the place.
The few tombstones contain only the
names of the departed with the date
of death and sometimes the age. Not
a line of sentiment is carved upon a
single stone.
Il was curious to know why. A
patriarch undertook to enlighten me.
This town. he said, is no Hall of
Fame. Leastwise not yet. The COM
munity has been fooled so often that
we don't take up with anything new
at first sight
We got wise after tribuIation.
doubt if you could find a man in the
town who, if he told you the truth,
has not eaten into something hollow
since he has been here. For while
il seemed as if this was the camping
place of every fraud and skin game
on the road.
After a long run of this sort of
thing the community finally got suspf-
cious of itself. Then a few of the
leaders organized sort of testing COM
YOittee One of the teuetS of this COM
mittee was to say nothing about
mans virtues, if he had any. until he
had been dead a year.
Several men who had cut a con-
siderable figure in their lives died and
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-04-16

received a lot of notices about what
they had done. We found out later
that they had been morally rotten and
rascally on the sly.
Now, when man dies in this COM
munity, especially one who posed to
the good, the committee meets and the
question is asked, WAS the deceased
what he cracked himself up to be-" If
any one present can prove that he was
we simply record that he died and then
wait a year to see if anything turns up
against him. If he rings out all right
we hold another meeting and the de-
ceased gets what is coming to any
good man.
BY that time the monument fever
has cooled down and one good dead
man is on a level with another. Be
sides, this sort of thing saves money.
If the dead mans family wants to
put up monument and smear it over
with a lot of Scripture, that's their
business. But there isn't a monument
of that kind in our graveyard. If we
learn anything against the deceased

Territory of Hawaii, Island and County
of Maui, IS.
On this 18th day of April, A. D. 1906,
personally appeared before me A. n.
Hayselden, who being first duly sworn,
deposes and says on his oath as follows:
| am resident of Lahaina, County
of Maui, Hawaii. On the 9TH day of
March of this year / was present and
was an eyewitness of the rescue of two
Japanese fishermen made by Hawaiian
named Kuaiwa 1t was during the
fierce storm that ragged on the coasts of
Hawaii on that day. Three Japanese
fishermen could not make the entrance
to the Lahaina harbor on account of the
storm, the great waves and the terrific
currents. They held off outside, until
large sampan with a rescue party
went out to give them additional crew,
to aid them in the attempt. The return
of the first boat was done without acct
dent, but the second with the three
who were storm bound was capsized
and overturned with all the occupants
thrown into the sea. The waves We're
mountain high with a strong outward
current that seemed to sweep every
thing before it. All but three of the
men reached land with tho assistance
of those on shore; those who were in
the first boat outside We're swept by the
current out of reach, out into the great
breakers. Kuaiwa, with some COM
rades, took a canoe and attempted to
go to their aid. but the frail boat was
carried by waves and dashed to pieces
on the line of rocks by the shore.
kuaiwa then seized plank from the
broken boat and dashed into the sea
in the direction of the nearest man. He
succeeded in getting him ashore. He
then went out again for the second man
further out On reaching him, the cur
rent was so swift and the waters so
rough that he could not make land with
his burden. He did not desert the
man, however, as he might have done
to reach land himself Together they
were swept outward and far beyond
the line of surf. For about two hours
they battled with the sea, and were
carried down the coast for perhaps
about a mile. Here, Kuaiwa was able
to guide the plank with its human
freight in toward the shore at a point
where the breakers were less rough and
they gradually approached the shore
until they reached land. The man he
rescued is named Shimada. He was
very much exhausted and almost dead.
with medical attendance he has recov-
cred from the shock. The third man
has not been seen since.
