Petitions asking for the construc-
ton of Ii blocks OF bithulitic pave
ment are being circulated in the city
this afternoon, and it seems to be the
most earnest and determined effort
yet put forth to secure paving for
Main and Court streets
The petitions ask for the paving Of
Main street from 1ustin to the bridge,
n distance Of six blocks, and from
Main street eastward on Court to Vim
cent. It distance of five blocks. Bith-
ulitic pavement on bituminous base
is named as the kind of Laving to be
built and the petitions pray that the
cost be charged to and become a lien
on abutting property, until paid.
Property holders on both Main and
Court streets appear to be more in
favor of the paving at this time than
ever before, and it is probable that
the matter will now be brought to a
successful issue.
The suggestion to pave with the
blue stone found in plentiful quantities
is not looked upon with any favor,

Garfield Was Badly "on."

Moody expressed the governments
position in the case for the first time,
saying: Garfield had no power to
promise immunity, or to threaten with
punishment. Immunity is in the law,
and if the packers are within the law
no action of Garfield's can affect their
status. The government did not use
the information obtained by Garfield.
There is absolutely no cooperation
between the departments of justice
and commerce and labor in regard to

That men and monkeys live in the
same woods, eat the same food, share
their dangers, divide their joys, and
talk the same language is stated as a
positive fact by Dr. Nicholas Sem,
who has just returned from a long visit
to equatorial Africa and who is well
known in Honolulu having visited here
several times. 80
The race, a race of brick cOlored pyg
mics, represents the retrogression of
the race said to have descended from
the common ancestor, the ape. The
pygmies have no modern diseases, they
wear no clothes. They strive in the
forests, from the fastness of which
they rarely emerge to outrival the
agility of the huge apes with which
they consOrt.
They are human, have intellect, and
possess the powers of reasoning and
speech The latter attribute they
share with the apes.
"Among the brick colored pygmies, Of
whom saw several at Mombassa," said
DR.. Sem yesterday there were prac-
tically no other diseases suffered from
or even heard of than senile complaints.
The only case of cancer l heard of was
in a half caste patient. Those pygmies
who, by their language of cultural
clicks and monosyllable sounds, can to
certain extent converse with the large
and manlike specimens of monkeys are,
in my opinion, the oldest living race of
men, They live the simple life par eX-
cellence, and strive to excel the apes
in their dexterity and strength in the
underbrush from which they seldom
emerge They are the color of brick
and almost invisible in the heavy jun
gle.

solute absence of all the ills which toe

about health bring to the civilized races
