 Johnson's unconsciousness of self was natural concomitant of his un- selfishneses. He was one of the kind est and best of men. As he had none of the vanities so often accompanying artistic, sensibility, he had none of its other weaknesses.

men all the world over see themselves always exactly as they are not.
 Anyhow, I have no doubt that to the Italians Signora Duse's sadness seems typically Italian just as the sadess of Mrs. Campbell (who is partly Itanan) seems typically un-English to the English, and just as Miss Ellen Terry's .sunniness seems to the English not less typically English. Exotic though this sunniness is, there is in the actual art with which Miss Terry conveys 1t quality that really Is native. Here is a lose irregular, instinctive art. It has something of the vagueness of the British Constitution, something of the vagueness of the British genius in all things-political, social religious and artistic. It is for this reason that French critics are so astonished when they see Miss Terry act, and so pug zled. To French critics, even, now Shakspere seems a bit of a bararian. They cannot understand the disorder Illness of the English genius in art, any more than tkey can understand 1t in religion, politics etc. They have not ears attuned to irregular rhythm. And they will hardly be persuaded that Miss Terry has any art at all. But it Is just because her art is so spontaneous, so irreducible to formule, that she has been and is matchless in Skakspere comedies. She has just the quality of exuberance that Is right for those heroines. Without it, not all her sense of beauty would have helped her to be the perfect Beatrice, the perfect Portia, that she is, In modern comedy that virtue becomes a defect.

HEARD HE WAS WANTED.
So Edward Carroll Went to Police Sta
 tion to Facilitate Arrest

So Edward Carroll Went to Police Sta
 tion to Facilitate Arrest.
 It is not often that a man walks into police headquarters and startles the precinct with the declaration that some detective in the department Is looking for him to place him under arrest-that is, if the fact is such Yet that was the procedure in the arrest of Edward Car roll, of 156 Olive street. last evening. Carroll and companion came into the police station in Court street and told Sergeant Cook that he understood that Sergeant Dennehy was looking for him. Sergeant Cook knew nothing of the de- tective sergeants quest, but upon in- quiry in the detective bureau it was learned that Sergeant Dennehy was out after some man of the name of Carroll.
 As there was nothing to hold the man for, he was left at liberty and was about to leave the station, when Ser geant Dennehy returned. When he saw the man he found him to be the man whom he was seeking. He had Carroll placed under arrest on charge of ob- taining money under false pretenses.
 Carroll, it appears, had formerly re- sided at 129 Howe street, where he met an Englishman named John Hall, of the same address, Carroll made an ar rangement with Hall to purchase a horse for him and obtained about $35 or $40 from him for that purpose. He agreed to deliver the horse last Monday evening, but on Monday he sent Hall a registered letter saying that he would have to be in Branford that evening and postponing delivery until Wednes- day evening. It seems the horse did not materialize then, and a complaint was made to the detective bureau.
 Carroll is held with bonds set at $500

Among the single horses may be mentioned one owned by Charles Warehouse; James Nesbit's Virgil B., pr. Laden with his good roader, and Clifford Hubbard driv- ing his speedy animal. Altogether it was a fine exhibition of fast horses and the crowd of spectators was much in terested in watching the performances of the racers.

Fight To
Claimants
ATTORNEY GENERAL PETERS
WILL NOT BUTT IN TO THE
KUNIAKEA CONTEST.

The Attorney Generals Department
has decided not to butt in to the
TSuniakea estate case for the purpose
OF having the estate escheat to the
Territory, as a matter OF policy. The
contest over the $4,000 worth Of prop
erty will be left to the various claim
ants and when they have all done, IL
none of them is able to establish
claim, the Territory viii step in and
take the property.
AT the start Of the case the depart
nent took an interest and watched 1t
with view to intervening and claim
ing the estate, there being said to be
no legal heir. Attorney General Peters
said this morning, however, that he
would not make any attmpt to get the
property. GAS a matter Of policy I
think we should rather hope that some
legitimate heir or heiress exists and
will prove title" said Peters. ut
would therefore be more our duty to
assist claimants in establishing title,
than to attempt to prove that there is
no legitimate heir and that the prop
erty should revert to the Territory.
"Acting under this Wow this depart
ment will keep it's hands off the case
until it is finally determined. The
various claimants will be left free to
tight their battle until 1t is settled by
the Supreme Court. Then, If it APP
pears that no one of them has title,
it will Of course be our duty to claim
the property for the Territory"
The hearing Of the case was continu-
ed all yesterday before Judge Robin
son, and was adjourned at the close
of the day until tomorrow. The case
is marked by remarkable contradic-
lions of witnesses regarding the rela-
lions existing between deceased par
ties whose relationship Is the MAN
matter at issue.

gineers at work doing preliminary
work for carrying out the 1851 900, 900
enterprise for increasing the wafer

HAWAII AND THE
BILL BOARDS
WHAT THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
HAS TO SAY ABOUT OUR METH
ODS-IT GIVES APPROVAL.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has
the following to say regarding Homo
lulu and the bill boards.
The movement for the abolition of
bill-boards has reached the Hawaiian
Islands and the Hawaiian Promotion
Committee is waging a vigorous cam
paign against them 1t is realized full
ly how much the unsightly and often
sive billboards detract from the APP
pearance of the city, and the appear
ance of Honolulu is one Of its great as
sets. In the endeavor to improve the
city and make it more attractive to
tourists, the billboard offense naturally
presented itself as one of the obstacles
in the way of civic improvement.
After the discussion of various meth
DDS of getting rid Of the nuisance,
ranging from the most stringent leg
islation possible against them to a
general boycott upon goods advertised
IN this offensive manner, it was final
~ determined that the evil could not
be abated in full by any methods of
legislation. A general boycott was I'M
lawful and individual boycotts would
hardly prove efficacious. A statute
could but minimize the evil, not do
away with it entirely,
Finally, the promotion committee de-
cided to seek the cooperation of the
merchants. The Merchants Associa-
ton and the Chamber of Commerce
have each been communicated with
and the committee is now using all Of
its energies to induce the merchants of
Honolulu to enter into an agreement
to refuse further to patroniZe the bill
boards or to engage in tbs offensive
form of advertising, which detracts
! from the beauty of the city and thus
becomes a direct injury to the public.
The manner adopted in Hawaii' OF
dealing with the situation seems a
practical one. 1t is educational in its
methods. 1t may take time to con-
vince the merchants WHO now use
! billboards that the advertising benefit
which they receive from their use IS
of less real value than a beautiful
city which would attract visitors and
increase the number of their custom
ers in thatm amer. BY united action
among the merchants. the bill board
nuisance can readily be abated. The
billboards are put up because space on
them is purchased for advertising pur-
poses by the merchants. IF they cease
to purchase the space, pillboards will
no longer be erected and those which
are up will come down.

NEW SERVICE TO
BEGIN IN JANUARY
AMERICAN-H HAWAIIAN LINERS TO
CONNECT WITH ROAD OVER
TEHUANTEPEC IN JANUARY.

SEATTLE, Sept. 12.-Beginning Jan
uary 1, 1907, the new Tehuantepec SER
vice will be inaugurated, according to
an announcement made yesterday by
c. w. Cook, agent for vhe American
Hawaiian line. The service was to
have been established nU0t month, but
was postponed on account of damage
done by the earthquake to the two
steamers building in the Union Iron
Works in San Francisco.
The Isthmian is to be launched in
November and the Columbian early in
December. Mr., Cook stated that the
terminals on both the Pacific and the
Atlantic sides are completed, and that
the railroad is hauling goods across
the isthmus.
The company plans to maintain sew
en- steamships on the Pacific side and
five on the Atlantic coast. The 18TH
milan and Columbian are to be kept on
the Pacific. The service will do away
with the voyage around the Horn for
vessels of this fleet, and a reduction OF
rates between Seattle and New York
is looked for.

Though an Irishman, George Ber-
nard Shaw, the famous playwright
seems to keep in touch with American
economic affairs. In a recent inter-
view in London regarding the Chicago
meat packing revelations he said:
"Why condemn the beef magnates in
particular? Every millionaire is gull
ty of some crime of equal hideousness.
"But the fault does not lie with the
millionaire. The poor millionaire can
not help himself. The present social
system forces his crime upon him. He
is in business as a millionaire and the
spirit of the times dictates that he
shall succeed. If there is competition
he is compelled to grind the competi-
ton down. 1t is not the fault of the
millionaire, it is the fault Of the sys-
TEN.
"You cannot control trusts nor make
them honest. If you want to be rid of
the evil they do, the only course is to
wipe the trusts out altogether

ATTACK ON CZAR.

ST. PETERSBURG, August 20
Saturdays unsuccessful attempt on the
life of Premier Stolypin, with it's
slaughter of thirty-two persons, was
followed to-day by another revolution
airy outrage in which General Min,
commander of the Seminovsky Guard
Regiment, and who since his promo
ton to be General has been attached
as personal adjutant to the suite of
the Emperor, was killed on the sta
ton platform at Peterhof by young
woman who fired five shots into his
body and then without resistance sub
mitted to arrest.
The capture Of the girl was effected
by General Minis wife, who held her
until the arrival of an officer.
This was the third successive at
tempt on the life of General Min, who
was condemned to death by the terri
orists Immediately after the Moscow
revolt last December on account Of
stern repression practiced by a bat
TALON under his command, and espe-
cially for the wholesale execution of
persons condemned by drumhead court
martial for being caught with arms
i'm their hands.
General Min was returning from his
summer residence at Peterhof, and had
just greeted his wife and daughter on
the platform, when a young woman
almost a girl-approached from behind
and fired two shots into his back and
then three more into his body as 1t
sank to the ground. Further shots
were prevented by Nine. Min, who
threw herself upon the murderess and
seized the hand which held the pistol.
The woman did not attempt to escape,
but she cautioned Nine Min not to
touch a handbag which she had placed
on the platform before shooting Cen
eral Min, adding that it contained a
bomb.
To the police the girl acknowledged
that she had done the deed, saying that
she had executed the sentence of the
fighting organization of the social re-
volutionists, but she refused to give
her name.

they were searched the instrument Of
death was discovered and they were

him closely. The man gave a salts
