1 came down town on an early car
the other morning. 1t was a few
minutes before o'clock. Along King
street near to each other there was
gang of Sam Johnson's road men, and
a gang of Manager Ballentyne's track
labOrers. 1t lacked about four minutes
of Z. The men in one gang were sitting
down smoking cigarettes or pipes, and
waiting for 7 o'clock before they be-
gan to work. The other gang had al
ready begun their days labor.
No, gentle reader it was the road
gang that was at work and the track
laborers who were waiting for the clock
to strike.
This fable teaches that the josh
about men employed in the public SER
vice is not always so.

A good many people have wondered
how as good campaigner as Link Nc
Candlcss should have been defeated,
especially when he had so good a re-
cord i'm the senate behind him as he
has But l think I have found out.
At least l have found out one reason
why he was defeated. He made enc
mics trying to protect the public. The
last legislature was called on to cut
down expenses so as to bring Terri
torial expenditures within Territorial
revenue. McCandless was one Of those
in the senate who stood for retrench-
ment. That is probably why he was
defeated. The amount of retrench-
ment that was required made. it neces-
sary to cut in all departments. After
the school teachers had been cut down
to beggarly salaries, McCandless
thought it only right that the pruning
knife should be applied elsewhere, and
the number of BoaTd of Health ms
pectors was cut down from twelve to
eight. During the campaign and on
election day, both the eight who were
retained, and the four who were cut
out in the appropriation bill, as well
as most of the other employees of the
Health Department were working hard
against McCandless. Captain Paul
Smith was another victim of McCand-
less record who worked against the re-
election of the senator from the Fifth
At the time the last legislature was in
| session Smith was an employee of the
Board of Health, and in addition he
collected the Doctors fees from the fall
/ len women of Iwilei, and ALSO 1 be-
lieve, kept the books for this business
For this he received $50 a month be-
sides his salary as an employee of the
| Board of Health. The matter came VI
for investigation in the senate, and Nc
! Candless was put on the investigating
| committee. His report broke up the
| licensed prostitution which had grown
up in Iwilei under High Sheriff Henry
| and with it Paul Smith lost his book.
| keeping and fee collecting job. So hi
worked hard to defeat McCandless.
AS McCandless only lacked about {
| hundred votes of being elected, it i!
| to be presumed that if these Board o.
| Health employees had any influence a
| all, they ought to have been able t.
| influence that many votes against Nc
| Candless. The lesson will probably no
be lost on legislators-elect.

A married friend of mine who enjoys

was yesterday offered, by a bachelor
friend of his, an eighty pound pig with
the understanding that the welded one
engineer the roasting of the porker on
CHRISTMAS Day and invite the lonely
bachelor to dinner. He of the welded
state, with watering mouth agreed
but closed the bargain without taking
his wife into the reckoning. Wifey, on
being Informed Of the porcine oppor-
tunity said Christmas was her day for
putting in enough prayers to do her
until the next Christmas and she in

I'm going to take rest and wish. New

Gloomy Gus is at last a living breath
ing personality. His existence is no
longer limited to the pages of a comic
weekly but he is alive and stalking in
our midst. If you do not think so lust
look at Frank Kruger. The personality
of Gloomy Gus obtained it's reincarna-
ton in Kruger last Tuesday. That was
the day when Kruger's boon companion
and pal Alec Robertson, departed for
the mainland. The departure of Rob-
ertson was as sudden as it was I'M
expected. For some reason he made
known the fact of his intended depar-
ture to only one person and that per-
son was not Kruger When the news
of Robertson's departure became known
there was a chorus of mournful ejacu-
lations. The famous Onion Club of
which Robertson had been the official
president and the acknowledged chief,
resembled a gathering of mourners
Where there had before been nothing
but convivality and series of jokes and
bantering, all was stilled as in a tomb
The bunch seemed to be like a band
of Quakers waiting for the spirit to
move them. But the spirit of mirth
had departed. Kruger says that he did
not think Alec would treat him that
way and he can not understand it.
No more can anybody else. The
departure of Robertson savors of
considerable mystery Explanations
have been numerous. One is to the eff
feet that he has gone to Washington to
confer with the President relative to
things political. Another ddmirer de-
clared that Robertson would never re-
turn to these shores again. His treat
ment by Prince Kuhio, who cheated
him out of the delegateship had broken
Robertson's heart and he intended now
to go to the mainland, settle down
somewhere and within ten years be a
United States senator where in the hall
of the great White Capitol building at
Washington he could snap his political
fingers at the ungrateful Ali and turn
down all the measures introduced by
the Hawaiian Prince. Another rumor
has it that Robertson has gone away
in Connection with a long delayed estate
whose heir is a well known island navi-
gator and that "a big fee awaits Alec"
in connection with his trip.
Even the women have a theory but
where the men are divided in their be-
lief, the women are united on one ex-
planation. "He has gone away to get
married, Of course" they say. OF
course, nobody but a woman would
urge such a trifing explanation when
affairs Of politics and the settlement Of
huge estates could be suggested.
These do not comprise the entire list
of possible causes for his departure.
The list is manifold. The only eXpla-
nation for his departure that l have
not yet heard, and which I now offer
for what it is worth, is that he went
away to get religion.

l met Tom Mckay the other day and
1 heard good news about Hawaii from
him. Mckay is the most famous ira
yelling agent in the Pacific. He re-
presents most of the big transcontinen-
tai railroads and all of the San Fran
cisco-Oriental steamship companies
and he is an authority on tourist mat
ters. He says that he has undertaken
to help Hawaii. He makes it a per-
sOnal matter to distribute the pham-
plets and booklets about Hawaii to
people in the Orient. Mckay sends
this literature not only through Japan
and to Chinese ports but he distributes
it as far as India and when Tom Nc
Kay once starts an advertising scheme
there is likely to be no ending to it.
He says he is to issue a guide cook
shortly, and he will give Hawaii two
pages. This information should GER
tainly please the Promotion Committee.
Mckay is going to San Francisco for
a conference with General Manager
Schwerin of the Pacific Mail Company
relative to passenger business to and
from the Orient to San Francisco and
across the continent. The passenger
agent will also extend his trip to the
east. With such a friend as Tom Nc
Kay the Hawaiian Islandes are fortu-
nate. He is a thorough man of the
world and person who meets all of
the famous people that come within
his part of the Orient. He is the man
whose advice they seek for their It'll
nerary. If Tom Mckay advises five
people to stop off at Honolulu it is
safe to hazard that at least three of
them will probably do So The Pro-
motion Committee is to be congratu-
lated in having his cooperation in this
work

IN OCEAN DEPTHS.

Some of the most beautiful sights
are found in the seattle coral reefs
and the sunken gardens, filled with
strange marine plants. Some marine
animals live only in the purest wa
ter, others only in the foulest water;
for every condition there is a life to
at it.
In all ocean basins, hills and ridges,
as we'll as troughs and deep holes, oc,
cur, and, the bottom is covered with
the skeletons of marine animals,
changed by time into slime and stone.
Some OF the animals of the ocean
have no eyes, having no need of them;
others have hundred eyes.
The largest animal and the tiniest
animal are found in the sea. In places
the sea is 10000 feet deep. Its aver
age depth is over 10000 feet. Twice
every "a hours the water rises and
falls. At the entrance to the Bay
of Fundy the rise at spring tide is no
less than 70 feet. The natural power
that controls the tide is tremendous
one.
And the plant life in the ocean is
almost as remarkable as the animal
life. Learned men have been study
ing it for centuries and are only be-
ginning to understand it. If you want
to be interested as no novel can in.
terest you, procure a book telling in
a simple manner of the life in the
seas. There are plenty of such books
written for the people rather than for
scientists.
One of the worms found in the ocean
Lives by swallowing sand, extracting
MON it whatever animal or vegetable
dood 1t may contain. The animals
of the ocean live on each other. One
animal kills its prey by means Of an
electric shock. A fish is known which
fishes with a sort Of hook and line
and thus secures its food. There Is
a phosphorescence Oh the sea that at
times produces a light so brilliant
that at night one may read by 1t.
This is produced by millions of living
things.

TRUE SOUTHERN CHIVALRY
kentucky Colonel Didn't Apologize,
But He Came Very Near
Doing It.

Many stories have been told of south.
ern chivalry but the palm apears to &c
to story told by former governor Of
Kentucky while visiting Philadelphia re-
Gently
According to the narrator, genuine
Kentucky colonel boarded street car
which wai. very crowded, and somehow
he stepped on the foot of very pretty
woman. Of course, the woman expected
the colonel to apologize, just os did
everybody else who heard her give a
mouselike squeal when the colonePs foot
came down.
And she looked as though she expected
an apology. but the colonel. divining her
thought. dotted his hat and said: No
madam, I'm not going to apologize. When
the good Lord was so gracious as to
make women so beautiful and charming
and with such wonderfully small feet
that man has to tramp on them 20 find
them, then | don't think that an apol

The compliment was too graceful fol-
the woman to resist, and all that fol
lowed was smiling acknowledgment Of
the colonel's gallant speech.

BIRTHS TOO NUMEROUS.
AN INSURANCE COMPANY OF
MASSACHUSETTS ON SHOALS.

Boston. Nay 12.-PrcceediDgs were
brought III the supreme court by At
torney General Dan A. Malone at the
instance of the insurance department,
against the American Birth Insurance
Company, seeking the appointment Of
a receiver to close Up the affairs OF
the concern. The company was con-
Quoted on mutual lines, and by its
means the policy-holders, who paid a
small sum monthly, received, upon the
birth of living child, cash benefit
of from $50 to $500. depending upon
the class of policy and the number Of
payments before the time of birth
The directors of the company say
that the actual birth rate has proved
SO much greater than the estimated
rate that they have found it impossi-
BILE to do business proAtably. AT the
present time there is said to be out
standing between $4,000 and 100000
of insurance. No statement is made
of the company's assets. but it is

RUSSIANS FIRST DEMAND Is FOR
FREEDOM.
EMPEROR NICHOLAS SPEAKS.
Much Enthusiasm and Cheering
Greeted Professor Mouromtseff
When He Invited the Government
Officials and Clerks to Leave Hall.

st. Petersburg, May 12.-sWithout a
single hitch, and with only minor
incident to mar the memorable day,
the Russian parliament was inaugu-
rated. The weather was superb and
the stage management of the impress
sive ceremony at the winter palace,
where Emperor Nicholas, surround
ed by courtiers and all the pomp and
panolpy of power, delivered the speech
from the throne to the members of
the two houses, was perfect. The mes
sage in reality was less of throne
speech than a greeting, and required
only three minutes for its delivery.
Emperor Nicholas read slowly. The
admirable and even cordial tone OF
the sovereign in renewing his pledges
and asking the cooperation of parlia-
ment for the regeneration of the coun-
try was only negatively satisfactory.
Courtiers and spectators others than
members of the national parliament
led the cheering, but the members
were omniously silent, expressing
neither approval or disapproval. What
ranked the most was the failure of
the emperor to mention amnesty, and
when the members assembled in the
Tauride palace, away from the spell
of the throne room, many of them
with difficulty restrained from precipi-
tating matters by Offering resolutions
on the subject.
The constitutional democratic lead
ers, however, who dominated every
thing, were anxious not to weaken the
reply which the lower house will pre-
pare to the speech from the throne,
in which issues with the crown will
be Joined and succeeded in staving off
premature action.
The scene around the Tauride pal
ace was in striking contract with that
at the winter palace. Each, indeed,
was typical and told an eloquent
story. At the Tauride palace tens of
thousands of people were acclaiming
their representatives; at the winter
pdldC6 slSSlOHo vi HliiiIdly anu Soui
tiers by three hundreds cheered for
the emperor Nevertheless the pro
ceedings of the lower house were not
spectacular; in fact, they were almost
tame in comparison with those at the
winter palace.
The only genuine flashes of fire
which showed the real temper of the
members of the house were when Pro
fessor Mouromtseff, who had been
elected president of the lower house,
invited the government officials and
clerks to leave the hall, and when
Ivan Petrunkevitch, in few eloquent
words from the rostrum, told the audi
tors that the first thought of the par
lament should be for those who had
suffered in the cause of liberty, who
now filed tie prisons and whose
arms were stretched out in hope and
confidence to the peoples represen-
tatives. More enthusiastic cheering
than that which greeted this appeal
never was heard in political con-
Vention in the United States.
