That the words Roosevelt and siren

manner by the honOred president or

The gentleman in question is J. A
Roosevelt, a youthful nephew of the
president who during the past two
months has occupied position that
would apparently indicate anything
but the fact that he was destined TO
set the world afire with his brilliancy.
In fact, his position has been one

By William Parkinson.

New York, Jan. 19-This city is in
the throes of an epidemic of grippe,
according to the statement of the Med
ical Sanitary Superintendent who
quotes figures by the Bureau of Sta
tiStics 10 proye his contention. but
at the same time there is no need for
the citizens TO be alarmed, for if they
will let their minds take them back
TO the past holiday season of each
winter during the past ten years. they
will distinctly remember that these
alarmist reports appear annually,
with unfailing regularity, and with
remarkable precision on or about
January 18th. The causes of the dis.
ease, its symptoms, treatment and eff
feet as set forth furnish rather anus.
ing reading The causes, told are
Ito numerous to mention" but among
the symptoms are "a disposition to
shirk work" Now I'll that can be
said about this symptom is that if il
is a fact, there must be an alarming
endemic OF the disease in New York
all the year round. When you imagine
you have the grip you are told TO go
TO your doctor at once, and lose nc
time about it, but on no account. nc
matter how bad the weather Is, do
not turn up the collar of your coat
The strange part OF the report is that
il starts with the alarming intelli
gence that the city is in the throes OF
the disease, but mentions that UP to
the present time there are only a few
deaths, still this statement is coun
terbalaneed, when it says ''if the
weather conditions get bad It will IN
doubtedly increase grip and cause
many deaths" The report was nc
doubt well meant where with al

A Fish Story.

The latest fishing story deserves to
take it's place in the annals Of those
of the past, as it is printed with all
seriousness in the New York press.
The Hero of the story is a motorman
who rejOiceS in the name of SchabOl
Owisky and, when fishing for cod off
Sandy Hook, felt a mighty tug at his
line The second tug was a stronger
one and tore him over the stern of
the boat into ten fathoms of cold At
lantic brine Keeping a tight hold on
his line he was towed a considerable
distance by the monster and then, ac-
cording to his own statement when he
was rescued, he lost consciousness.
He described the cod as a monster,

During the course of a fight between

man, when taken TO the hospital, was
told that he had not long to live if an
operation was not performed on him
He asked that the young woman and
priest be sent for and both came
into the operating theatre where the
man was made all ready for the opera
| ton. After a conversation with the
Dominican priest and the young
woman marriage ceremony was per
/ formed, two nurses and doctor being
the witnesses. Immediately after the

woman was taken from the operating

HAWAIIAN PRODUCTS.

There are probably 40 varieties OF
bananas cultivated in Hawaii, but only
some half dozen of these have com
merciai value. Bananas sell in the
San Francisco market for from 81 tC
$3.50 per bunch Good banana land
may be obtained in the vicinity OF
Honolulu, where the fruit must be
grown by irrigation, or in the neigh
borhood of Hilo, where the agricul-
tural conditions are exceptionally fav-
orable, but where transportation facili-
ties are extremely limited.
The sisa! industry is becoming an
important one, about 1000 acres hav-
ing already been planted. Expert
ments indicate that it can be success
fully cultivated from sea level up to
$500 feet. and with rainfall as high
as 90 inches. Hawaiian grown sisal
is pronounced by fiber experts to be
equal to that produced in Yucatan The
yield amounts to from 600 to 1000
pounds per acre per annum, valued, ac-
cording to length, strength and luster
at from six and one-half to eight and

GRAND JURY AND 4
RECENT BENEDICT

The Territorial grand jury yesterday
heard witnesses and carried on an in,
vestigation of complaints made in re-
gard to a saloon at Pearl City. The
saloon, though not owned, is run by
Joseph Alfred Colbron, who on June 1
was married to Mary Jane Gilman. The
complaints alleged that improper hap
penings were allowed to go on at this
saloon. Two or three women well known
in certain circles were examined as
witnesses.
The investigation was not, as has
been stated, in regard to any alleged
violation of the liquor law at the
Eagles picnic at Pearl City late last
month. The Eagles secured a one days
license under the new law to sell liquor
on the day of their picnic The day
previous. the decoration committee that
went down to prepare for the picnic
took refreshments with them but none
were sold.

POST HOLIDAY CASES
IN POLICE COURT

were concerned in the holding up of a
CLinaman in Iwilei a few days ago,
were fined $15 and $12 respectively by
Judge Whitney yesterday. The case of
assault against Mage, Seyo and Maruso,
the three japanese who have been
causing the police much trouble of
late, were continued till June IA. The
first case against these three was for
assaulting Harry Strange with sword
cane. A short time later they were
mixed up in a rape case, tie charge
being brought by a little japanese girl.
and now they are before the court for
the third time

POLICE STATION IS
IN Dad CONDITION

The condition of the police station
is a matter which requires attention
but neither the Territorial authorities
nor the Board of County Supervisors
will devote any funds to repairs. Each
claims that the other should do the
work and pay for it and in the mean
time Judge Whitney's and Sheriff Tau
kea S departments are in terror of fall
ing plaster.
1t may be possible that by issuing a
citation to appear before him for con-
tempt of court, that Judge Whitney
might be able to get something done
but up to the present time, in spite
of the fact that a grand jury has call
ed attention to the matter, nothing
has been accomplished.

was unable to make as good a show
ing as to the increased value of the
land Accordingly land returned at
s11,175, and raised to $1OS,500 was COM
promised at s22,350. Land returned at
's14, 700 and raised to 1904 was com
promised at the owners figures.
