CeyIonese Proverb.

William Jennings Bryan, de-
scribing his world tour in New
York, praised the Ceylonese.
The Ceylonese, (" said Mr..
Bryan, are the politest, the ur-
banest, the most tactful people you
can imagine.
They have a proverb that gives
some idea of their delicacy Ia This
proverb says:
F" It is safer to pull the tail of a
tiger than to call lady's attention
to her first gray hair. -

Father Pitoye went to Mexico some
time ago on business mission for
his order, but it was not known
here at the time that sshe would re-
main there permanently. The news
that lie will not return here is
received with sincere regret by

TRIPLE DROWNING
At WA|MEA, kauai

y triple drowning occurred at Wal
mea, Kauai, on the 10th, Saturday last
two of the victims losing their lives
in attempting rescues. The dead are
Mrs. Akiona, wife of Waimea's we'll
known poi manufacturer. young
chinese woman, who had been married
only few weeks, and little Chinese
boy, a son of Akiona. The accident
occurred in a deep hole within the
breakwater of the Waimea river, caus-
ed by the waves breaking over the
protecting wall and washing out the
bank.
The little boy was the first to fall In
and his call for help brought the young
woman to his rescue. In attempting
to draw the boy out the woman her
self fell in, the bank caving beneath
her feet. Mrs. Akiona, who had also
hurried to the rescue, then jumped in
to save the two, but the water-hole
was beyond her depth and she too was
drowned.
At the point where the drowning
happened the breakwater is low, al
lowing the waves to overwash it and
destroy the neighboring lands. To
remedy this by heightening the wall a
bill is before the Legislature at the
present time, backed up by Repres-
entative Sheldon, of Waimea.

DIR. Wayson wanted TO know the OBJ

Senator Coelho, of the Senats Lealth

could not afford TO make the trip. Some

Honolulu, Hawaii. March 1s. 1907.

Honolulu. Hawaii. March 49, 1907.
C. Brewer & Co., Honolulu, II. IL.
Dear Sirs: / have received recently,
the first definite report in regard To
values of Hawaiian grown Cuban to-
baccos from Hirsch and Son, New
York. They say in regard to samples
which we called cuban A, 1906, Num-
bers 1 and o.: This Is n serviceable
tobacco of good quality and burn. The
leaf is somewhat too long and poorly
shaped. No. l can be used for bind
ers though rather too heavy and thick,
value 20 cents. No. 2, partly wrap
pers and binders, value so cents"
Cuban c. good burning quality. No.
/, binders and contains some wrapper
leaves, value 80 cents. No. u large
leaf filler. value 20 cents. No. 3 small
and narrow filler, value ~ cents. Gu
ban p, common, heavy. thick. ordinary
filler, value s cents"
These tobaccos are practically of the
same quality as the II. A. tobacco crop
OF 1905. The latter was capable Of
being sorted into u great many grades.
Hirsch and Son are leaf dealers. that
is. wholesalers, who buy their tobac-
cos direct from the producer, sort into
grades. and finish the fermentation and
sell the product at an advance of from
so to 70 per cent, so / am informed. l
have sent a great many samples of to-
bacco to manufacturers and leaf deal
ers in the United States. England, Ger
many and France, and while practical
ly every one says the tobacco is of
good quality, instead of quoting prices
they usually ask how much there Is.
what 1t costs to produce and whether
land is obtainable in Hawaii for the
growth of this quality of tobacco and
ut what prices. / have received so
many inquiries of this character that
| believe the tobacco Is Of much bet
ter quality than the average Ameri-
can cigar-leaf. / understand that the
organization known as the Tobacco
Trust" have sent, or are intending TO
send, man out here for the purpose
of buying land If II can be obtained I'm
large enough bodies and at reasonable
prices.
l have learned this much from at
tempting to dispose of, or find out the
value of your tobacco and our own,
that 1t Is difficult to sell a single bale
of any quality of leaf and that where
more than one grade Is shipped In

co is fixed by the value of the lowest
grade in the bale

RICE AND HIS
WORK FORIKAUA|

do YOU think 1 am sent here to see
our island slighted?" said Hon. C. A
Rice, of Kauai, yesterday, referring to
the share spent on Kauai out of the
total of $95s,O36.17 expended from the
Loan Fund and explaining his actions
in the House in reference to items of
appropriation and expenditures.
Here are the figures" continued the
fighting member from the closed is
land. THE Territory has had expend-
ed 1872, 2,O29S6 out of sS6l.16O appropriate
ed from the new loan fund bill; Maui
has drawn of this amount $1,000, Ha-
wall s19,722, Oahu $2S,307 and Kauai
only $1S4.75.
For our island $4,000 had been ap-
propriated from the loan fund and
there are not even contracts drawn for
any part of this amount, while existing
contracts call for $256,495 for the other
islands.
DO you think l am here to allow
Kauai to be sighted and overlooked
like this? All the satisfaction / can
get from the Department of Public
Works is that there is no money spent
because of the orders of the Governor,
The Governor is a resident of Oahu
and he sees that good share of the
Oahu appropriation is spent.
HE tells me that new appropriations
will have to be made now for our public
works. He tells me that he has plans
for $4,000 of the available cash bal
ance of s150,000 on hand. but he refuses
information as to where this amount
is to go.
Now have some rights on my side
over these appropriation items and
am going to fight for this right until
the Governor sees fit to give some good
reasons why kauais money has not
been spent. Why, even that amount
of slS4 was spent on Kauai by acct
dent, the Public Works Department

fore the Governor called them off,

matra or Partidos or any other grade

from their standpoint.
Schwarz & Co. say our Sumatra leaf
cannot be distinguished from Partidos

more shiny, and / know from other
sources that Partidos brings $500 to
$500 per lb. in San Francisco. Schwarz
