THE PORTO R|CANS
IN THESE ISLANDS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. - Perhaps
that shipload of Porto Ricans taken to
the Hawaiian Islands some years ago
as an experiment to see If our over
crowded island in the Atlantic could
not supply the demand for labor in our
undercrowded islands in the Pacific.
Well, they are out there in Hawaii yet,
but the first lot was enough. No more
Porto Ricans for Hawaii.
This experiment was made in 1901.
The first load was followed by others
until slightly over 1000 laborers and
their families had been taken to the
farfamed ''cross roads of the Pacific, "
and the Department of Commerce and
Labor has just finished looking them
up to see how they are getting along.
The reports from Hawaii are not reas-
surfing. The Porto Ricans will work all
rights. In fact they are described as
fairly good workers, but they are not
clean and will not pay any attention to
the rules of sanitation so necessary to
the best health in a semi-tropical eli
mate. They are the dirtiest people in
Hawaii and the women are not in any
sense home bodies nor home makers.
But even at that they are much better
off in every way-better fed and better
clOthed-than they ever were in Porto
Rico.
In 1902 there were 2,036 of these la
borers on the plantations of the islands,
but at the present time the number is
not over 1900 or 1900. Some few have
returned home. but the most of those
who have left plantation work have
gone into other pursuits, seventy being
in manufacturing, seven of these being
superintendent; seventy-nine have
found employment in the transportation
service of the islands. four have fine
positions in administration of the Gov
eminent and others are in the mechani-
cal trades and in miscellaneous occupa-
lions. The chief complaint against
them, outside of their filthy ha bits, is
that on account of the Porto Rican
women having none of the home in
stincts these laborers are very hard to
keep in one place. They will wander
about the islands and seldom work
more than one one season on the same
while the Chinese and Jap
anese labor is as steady. as a clock, with
eeiCI liuiH luudl SLf1N ing TO accumulate
enough to get a small holding of his
own. There is also some slight indica-
ton in the figures procured by the de-
partment that the Porto Ricans are a
decaying race and in time will disap- |
pear from the islands Certainly they |
10 not show any natural increase, the |
-otal number there growing a little |
smaller each year, just as the native |
are fading away.

yesterday. Like John S. Lows an
swer reported few weeks ago, those
of Eric Knudsen and H. VI. Won Holt
deny any connection of their authors
with . trust.
Mr. Knudsen states that he has never
sold beef cattle to the Metropolitan
Meat Company, the principal defen-
dant, but that his place of business is
on Kauai and that he raises cattle
exclusively for consumption on that IS
land. He conducts an independent
business and has never tried to mono
police the trade in beef cattle either
individually or as stakeholder in any
corporation. a denial is entered to the
statements that beef cattle can be rails
ed in these islands and sold for six
cents a pound or less and that they
can be imported from the mainland or
elsewhere and sold at such a price.
Mr.. Won Holt denies that he is
cattle raiser or dealer and that he is
or has been a stakeholder in the Me-
tropolitan Meat Company. His posi-
ton is that of superintendent of the
ranch department of the Oahu Railway
& Land Company, and he declares that
neither in this nor his personal capacity
has he entered into a trust or combina-
ton violative of United States law.

KING EDWARDS TIPS.

When the English monarch visits at
any of his special friends houses he
generally distributes between $1,000 and
$500 in tips. reports a London journal.
When attending a private shooting
King Edward generally presents each
OF the heaters a guinea, while every
one Of the keepers is given between one
and ten guineas. When visiting at a
foreign court, however, the tips dis
tributed by the English sovereign never
amount to less than $4,000.
Emperor William of Germany. while
visiting in England, never spent less
than $4,000 in tips. and on the occasion
Of Queen Victoria's funeral he is known
to have doubled the usual amount of
his tipping. The Car of Russia on his
last visit to England gave a check of
SIS 900 to the courts master of cere-
monies for distribution among the SER

AN EMPRESS GOWNS.

A more recent example Of regal
modesty has come under notice in a
letter addressed by the Empress Eu-
genie to one of her family. In 1t she
says:
They used to accuse me of extrav-
agance! What did my expenses rep
resent as compared to those of any
bourgeoise of today! During all the
time / was Empress 1 had only three
dresses that cost, each of them, as
much as s200-one for my marriage, one
for the Exposition of 1868, and one for
the christening of the Prince Imperial!'
The very sorts of gowns worn and
the material of which they are made
have changed in the last generation
Worth, the great Paris dressmaker, es-
tablished his reputation through the
splendor of the stuffs he made use Of
during the Empire. Solid and grandi-
ose, these long-looms at Lyons, were of
a substantially inappropriate to the
needs of today, for these needs have
radically altered.

SnithYil1e.

The amateur minstrel performance
which was given by the employees of the
Smith Machine Co., last Thursday even :
ing, was great success. When the cur
tain rolled up the audience was greeted
with very pleasing scene The circle
presented most unique appearance, with
the middle man all in white and his com
panion at the right and left in evening
dress, with the remaining members of
dusky type, while the makeup of the end
men was ludicrous beyond words. A car
nival of fun and mirth reigned during the
entire evenings entertainment. The
songs were all well rendered and many of
them would have given much credit as
productions from a professional. The
chorus added volume and excellent har-
monte effects. The end men were tn
merry testers during the performance
spreading abroad their levity and making
happy hits upon the members of the au.
dience, which were received as jolly good
fun. The jokes teemed with humor and
every one present caught the spirit Of
mirth.
The burlesque entitled "The Lady Bar
ber," which closed the evenings enter
tainment, was fitting climax to the fur
producing performance Each actor KEEP
the ball of levity rolling and produced
peal upon peal of laughter from the en-
| thusiastic audience.
All present felt that they had been wei
repaid, and went away happy and pleased
Dancing at the close of the burlesque wal
enjoyed by all who wished to tarry longer
| The net proceeds. which amounted t
$57.75. will go to the Burlington Count
Hospital.
The performance we'll bears repeating
and upon urgent request it will be give
at Pemberton on Thursday evening, Apr
5 There will also be dance after tn
entertainment.

or nothing to do, the negroes being very
docile. The line of march led to the first
floor and thence to the kitchen. The con-
demned men walked with firm step and
displayed no nervousness. In just about
one minute after touching the steps of the
scaffold. the black caps had been pulled
down over their faces. feet strapped, the
nooses adjusted by Deputy Sheriff Fleet
wood and Detective Parker, and the trap
sprung by Sheriff Norcross.
While Parker was pulling down the
black cap, Small said to him: "Can /
speak?" Eyes; go ahead" replied the de-
tective, but Small remained silent.
So quickly were the men hurled to their
doom that many present could hardly
realize that the work had even been com
menced. Then the crowd pressed forward
to the hanging bodies. That of Johnson
remained stationary, but SmalPs revolved

At 1000 o'clock on Saturday morning,
according to the official time kept by Grit
fifth w. Lewis. one of the court jurors,
Rufus johnson and George Small were
hanged for the murder of Miss Florence
W. Atkinson, both dying together. The
execution was very successful At 1919
Small was pronounced dead by the at
tending physicians. Life left the body of
johnson at 1925. The bodies were left
hanging until 1910. 1t was ascertained
that Small's neck was broken, but John
son died from strangulation, which was
the fate of their victim. At II rs the re-
mains were passing down High street in
charge of Augustus w. Grobler, of Penn
berton, for interment in the cemetery at
the almshouse, New Lisbon. There is
general satisfaction that the culprits have
forfeited their lives for one of the most
heineus crimes recorded in the state. The
for the event were perfect.

twice. While standing on a chair, Drs
Rink and Roberts alternated in giving out
records of the heart beats as obtained by
the use of stethoscope.
Just as Ithe trap was sprung a sweet
tenor voice came from the window of a
cell close by. 1t was that of William
Jones, of Burlington, colored man, who
is waiting to be taken to the state reform
atory at Railway. He sang ''Safe in the
Arms of Jesus" which was in keeping
with request which johnson had made.
The music came like q voice from the
dead. Being weird in effect, many people
were touched by its sadness. johnson
had formed liking for Jones' vocal and
instrumental music.
After the bodies had remained hanging
for the required period, they were low
cred into white pine collins which had
been stained and vanished Then they
were carried to a shed where the physi-
clans in charge made an examination.
The bodies were exposed to view long
enough for the juries to officially pro
nounce the men dead
Before the remains were removed by
Undertaken Grobler, some of those
present who had no respect for the dead,
and very little for the person to whom
they were indebted for being present, be-
gan to cut buttons from the clothing of
the murderers and to secure other memen-
toes. Other acts were committed that
seem almost incredible, but were finally
stopped by officers.
While the witnesses were waiting for 10
O'Clock to arrive, ex Sheriff Joseph G.
Bower took up collection for the benefit
of Rev. James E. Groves and Rev Thos.
j. Oliver. who were unceasing in admin
istering to the condemned men at 6nan-
cial loss to themselves, and the spiritual
advisers were presented with $500.
One o. those persons who witnessed the
execution without an invitation was Err
nest Wittmeyer, telephone lineman. On
the pretext that there was ''break," he
climbed pole, on Grant street. Despite
entreaties and threats made by guards
for him to come down, Wittmeyer calmly
lit his pipe and remained there. From
his lofty position he had commanding
view of the hanging. Other people who
could see the scaffold from the roof of a
near by house were compelled to come
down.
There was quite little excitement in
Mount Holly, both before and after the
execution. Quite few people stationed
themselves on Grant street to see the cot
fins when they were passed through the
large gate to the dead wagon.
The murder Of Miss Atkinson was of
such recent date, that a history of the
crime is not necessary.
