over $50 worth of carpenters
and plumbers tools were stolen last
night from the new double apartment
house on Jefferson street, near the
Central railroad, opposite the feder-
al building, which is being built by
Hans Greisen.
The building is nearly completed
and the carpenters and plumbers
have been leaving their tools there
every night. The carpenters tools
were in three chests, which were se-
curely locked. The thieves broke
these open and made away with their
contents. Some plumbers tools were
also in the building and these, too,
were taken. The thieves had no
trouble in entering the building as
the doors were not securely fastened
and some of the windows in the rear
of the place are broken. One car
penter, Frederick Smith, says that
the amount of his tools that we're
stolen is over s25, and nearly that
amount was taken from George Bird
sal, another carpenter. The carpen-
ters who are at work in the place are
employed by MAIDS J. Dinesen.
When the men went to work this
morning they discovered the robbery
and at once notified the police. De-
tective Huff made an Investigation
and close watch will be kept for
the thieves, who may attempt to dis
pose of their plunder in this city.

William r. Major, who has been in
Jamaica all winter, reached this city
last night and will sremain for the
summer. He expects to return to
Jamaica again this fall and antici-
pates a prosperous season.
Mr.. Major gives an interesting ac-
count of the earthquake which ruined
Kingston, the principal city on the
island, and tells of his experiences
in trying to secure materials and let
ters through the mail and the express
companies. Mr.. Major was never in
danger during the great catastrophe.
He was not in the vicinity of Kings
ton at the time of the shock and says
that had he been there he would
doubtless have escaped as the places
he frequented about the hour of
O'Clock in the afternoon were un-
harmed. A number of his friends,
however, were killed and one in par
ticular, has never been heard of, so
that it is not known whether he is
living or dead.
British Red Tape.
Mr.. Major has not much use for
British red tape. He says they are
still wrangling among themselves
what to do and how to do it while the
streets of the city remain in ruins
and but little effort has been made
to rebuild. The thing that shocked
the British officials most upon the ar
| ,..rr nf A ri it1,Y,
ately after the earthquake, was the
prompt manner in which relief was
at hand. Admiral Davis was ready
with provisions and shelter for thou
sands as well as men to help clean vi
the city and maintain order. The of
ficials on the island had not ever
called a meeting to consider relief
1t was out of the question for then
to accept help without first calling {
meeting and going through a lot O.
other red tape before they decided
whether or not they needed any relief
The individual citizens, speaking
privately, however, praise the Ameri
cans greatly. One jeweler in Kings
ton, according to Ma Major, went be
{. fore notary public and made aft
davit to the effect that the American
sailors who were landed, and befor
they were recalled, had saved hin
$4,000. They drove men away VIII
were looting the ruins of the store
they protected safes and they as
sisted in securing the valuables.
Long Time to Recover.
Kingston will be long time re
covering, is Mr.. Majors opinion, be
cause as soon as one method /
adopted somebody objects and tn
discussion is renewed. In tn
meantime the well-to-do people ar
living in shacks and the poor are liy
ing in huts and tents. With a goo
crop this season, however, the islam
should be in a prosperous state mex
winter.
Mr.. Major looks well and says h
is feeling fine He reports an exec
lent voyage north until within abou
day of New York, when the vesst
struck heavy fog and cold weather
The people in their summer finer
! nearly froZe.
The only reason advanced by Nj
Major that word was not received {
his safety Immediately after til
earthquake is that one mail bag wei
to Boston and was taken back to tt
: island and then sent to Ameri(
again. Mr.. Major says .he wro
home the day following the shoe
telling he was all right. Mr.. Maj'
e has an excellent collection of phot
t graphs of scenes on the island bo
! before and after the earthquake. T
5 expects to exhibit them soon.

dressed upon us how close an APP
proach our government is to the old
patriarchal form of government of the
early wandering tribes, where the
head of a numerous family exercised
all authority and decided all matters
ii moment.
All we have to do here in Hawaii Is
to sit still and be governed. We may
hot like 1t always, but it relieves us
Of great deal of responsibility. But
there are some of us who are incOn-
siderate enough to find fault with
this condition of affairs and want to
stick our noses into affairs of state.
Just at present we have a very
good Governor. Governor Frcar has
shown exceptional ability during the
few months he has been in Office, and
to the surprise of many who did not
know him when he assumed office, he
has turned out to he man who does
things. The only trouble Is he wants
10 do them all and not share the re-
sponsibility with anyone else.
The Governor is evidently imbued
with the notion, which has been
much in evidence before his term be-
gan, that the business of Governor
is to govern. He forgets that be-
cause he is appointed by the Presi-
dent Is no reason why he is not still
the servant of the people as much as
: Il he were elected by them.
This probably accounts for Govern
or Frears idea that the public has
no concern in governmental affairs
until they have been cOnsummatcd.
That is the reason why we never
know how proposed bond issue is
progressing, or what attitude the
Chief Executive is going to take to-
ward any possible change in the Or
Eanic Act when he goes to Washing
ton.
Frear is "A good Govcrnor-but he
hasn't quite got the idea yet.

of to-day's dealings in a few stocks pointed unmistakably to | the professional character of the market. This Is particularly marked | in Reading, in which orders for many thousand of shares were executed from single houses. The fact that ac- ton was looked for during the day on the dividend on this stock added to the interest in the large transactions. Readings aggressive upward turn aft CT early weakness affected the tone of the whole market in sympathy The stock reacted on the regular dividend declaration. New York Central was an indifferent sharer in the general upturn, in spite of the refutation of recent uEfavoraole rumors by the dec !acation of the quarterly dividend at the 6 per cent. rate inaugurated at this tin.o last year This action was foreshadowed by the declaration Of the extra dividenl yesterday oil Lekc Shore ard Michigan Central. the two principal subsidiary companies of the Central. The good impression made by the maintenance of the dividend rate was modified to some extent by consideration os the earnings state ment of the companies. Even in the case of the subsidiary companies, the extra disbursements left the surplus showing much below the conservative standards of those companies. Not only has the increase in operating ex- penses for the last year far outstrip- ped the growth in gross earnings. but the addition of new capital during the year has enhanced the dividend re- quirement on earnings, even at the un- changed rate. The effect of the divi- dend declaration, therefore, was not ably favorable to the stock The fav- orabe effect on Pennsylvania of the increase. in the Pennsylvania com pany's dividend was scarcely greater.
 On the other hand. Missouri Pacific
 was quite weak on the circulation of l rumors throwing doubt on the main
 tenance of it's dividend at the present
 rate. One of the days events that re-
 lieved the market from some pressure
 was the relaxation of the tension ir

 was 12 per cent. and there was. a re-
 cession from that in subsequent loans
 There was less calling of loans by tht
