KAUAI LITERARY.

The Mokihana Club had it's regular
monthly meeting last Wednesday and
a very interesting one it proved to be.
The program opened with a descrip-
ton of trip down the Volga read by
Miss Elsie Wilcox. This was followed
by very entertaining paper on ST.
IBERIA by Miss Bachelor. Mrs. Hogg's
paper N Maxim Gorky and his writ
ings showed an unusual amount of
study of the literary currents in that
far off country. while Mrs Carter's
recitation of The Soldiers Death"
gave the ladies fine sample of the
poetry in which the language is so
rich. The closing number of the aft
ernoon's program was the rendering of
the Russian National Anthem by Mes
danes w. H. Rice. Jr.. Carter. Hills.
and Miss Bachelor. accom-
panied by Miss Mabel Wilcox Mes
danes w. H. Rice, Jr., and A H

THE DEAD MURDERER.

Suggesting the death of defendant
Deputy Attorney General Fleming
moved that a nolle prosequi be entered
in the case of Territory VS.. Iladio
Consoles, murder in the first degree.
Judge Lindsay granted the motion.
Though having previously made
confession and promised to plead
guilty of murder in the second de-
gree. which if accepted would have
saved him from the gallows at any
rate, when Gonsalves was arraigned
he repudiated the confession by plead
ing not guilty. Then, within a few
weeks, he died in prison.

Burnett is workman in the en-

New York. The firm had contract
to tear down and build anew the Chin

other workmen he had been employed
there several days erecting scaffold
for the beginning of the demolition.
Burnett was the first man up the
scaffold at the start of work at seven
o'clock, and he had not yet reached
the pinnacle of the fimsy structure
when he heard crash below him and
discovered to his horror that the scat

for dear life, amid the cracking of
the planks and stays Of the structure

CIRCUS CHARIOT IN

Alton, Ill.-One of the most thrilling

in this country took place the other
night before 1000 persons in Alton,
when one of the tandem teams in a
circus lost it's driver in collision and
becoming maddened charged five times

lives of more than 1000 persons.
Joseph Mescal, driver of one of the
chariots, was thrown from his vehicle
in a collision with the chariot driven
by Mrs. Abrams at the second turn
and he was sent flying into the crowd
occupying the seats at the ring side.
When they felt the reins loosen the
animals dashed ahead with renewed
speed, charging full toward the spec
tators at the next turn as if they
would not turn, but would plunge
among the crowd. The people STAN
peded for the higher seats and tram
pied upon each other in their excite
ment. Women were seized with hys-

when he heard the shouts of encour
agement from tie foreman, John Nc
Mahon, he knew that his plight had
been discovered and that aid would
reach him if human hands and human
brains could accomplish it. :
Foreman Mcmahon got busy as soon
as he discovered the peril of his
fellow-worker. He gathered lot Of
spikes and, with rope about his
waist, he began to drive them into the
interstices Of the bricks of the interior
of the chimney, hoping thus to reach
the man.
1t was a slow, tedious process anc
fraught with great difficulty, but NJ
Mahon stuck bravely to it till he was
compelled to abandon it as useless
This he discovered after he had gone
some distance from the ground. The
old bricks, corroded and decayed by
the fumes of the chemicals from the
nickel works in years of use, gave the
spikes such insecure hold that many
of them pulled out at the slightest
pressure.
Mcmahon had covered pretty nea,
half the distance to the top of the
chimney when the discouraging dig
covery was made, and the day was
wearing on. To leave the man at the
top of the chimney all night meant
death, for no human frame could with
stand the rigors of such exposure
BY the time the crowd of people had
grown to immense proportions and all
sorts of suggestions for the rescue OF
the man we're offered.
Send up a balloon with q rops.t'
said one.
Fly a kite and let him catch the
string and then send up rope" said
another.
Among those really feasible plans
many ridiculous suggestions were Of
fered,: but the happy one was that OF
sending for "Joe Corbett," the
"steeplejack" of local fame, who has
performed many perilous feats on
church spires and chimneys of Cam
den. Mcmahon grabbed the chance
fearful that even this might fail, and
in a little while Corbett was at the
scene.
With stout rope about his waist
Corbett began the slow ascent OF
those spikes which held, but he had
half the distance to traverse the tor
of the stack when the last spike was
reached. He knew what he was about
though, and, like the small boy who
climbs up the wallis of an alley by
bracing his hands and feet against The
sides and moving foot by foot by main
strength and agility, Corbett began
the wearisome ascent.
1t was a nerve-racking wait for the
crowd and the foreman below and q
terrible strain upon the lone man
above, now invisible in the darkness
which had fallen. But the skill of the
brave climber won. After his tedious
effort he managed to reach the end OF
his rope to the man on the chimney.
top Burnett made it fast, and Cor.
bett was able to get rest for his mus.
cles. Then after the latter had let
himself down, Burnett followed, and
when the two men emerged from the
opening at the bottom of the big stack
the cheers of the multitude broke
loose.
