The "Naaur" and the Fiddle.

Here is story that Frederick Doug lass used to tell about himself: Once when he was in Dublin he felt very lonesome. He was wandering about the streets when he was attracted by two violins in the window of a second hand dealer. Frederick entered and asked the price of one of the instru- ments.
 "Five shillings, sor," said the Irish dealer..
 Frederick tuned the violin and began to play Rocky Road to Dublin" Soon the proprietor's wife heard the music and entered the rear door. Then Fred erick started in on "The Irish Washer woman," and the couple began to dance for dear life. When the music and dancing stopped Frederick ten dered the dealer'5 shillings, but his performance on the violin had greatly enhanced its value in the mind of the storekeeper, and as he hurried away to a place of security he exclaimed:
 eff a black nagur can git such ehunes out of that fiddle I'll never sell 1t at any price, begorrah!

GAMBLED UNDER
NOSES OF POLICE

When Police officer Reeves went to
put his wheel in the little shed beside
the police station yesterday afternoon
he heard a noise like money in the
Chinese premises adjoining. Glulng his
eye to a crack he saw what flied him
with amazement, gambling game
going on within twenty feet of police
headquarters. Thinking that his senses
had deceived him he dashed inside and
called upon the assistant chief of de-
tectives. Joe Leal, who also watched
proceedings through a crack, being a
spectator of the little game of Sup Un
Hu until one hand had been played
through and dimes and nickles passed
across the table. Then he headed n
posse and swooped down upon the
players, catching three and also haul
ing in two spectators of the game. Dur
ing the preliminary proceedings Judge
Whitney was an interested spectator

PLENTY Of ROOM
FOR FARMERS
Congressman Cocks Sees Some
Obstacles, but All
Removable.

1T seems to me there is plenty OF
land in these islands which can, and
at some time will, be profitably devot-
ed to other things than the production
of sugar. There is room for a great
many American farmers
Such is the opinion of Congressman
Cocks of New York, who calls himself
an islander, having been born and his
ancestors for two hundred years hay
ing lived on Long Island. He lives
about ten miles from President Roos-
Ievelt's Oyster Bay home.
'tOf course, can see obstacles to be
overcome" he continued. "The one
that has struck me most forcibly has
been that of transportation. 1 am not
a transportation expert and I don't
know just how this obstacle is to be
overcome. But I have no doubt it can
be. 1t has been elsewhere. Where
live are conditions not altogether un-
like yours. We are on an island. In
former days our products were taken
to market by water, just as yours are.
Small sloops and schooners landing at
little bays and inlets carried our pro-
ductions to Brooklyn and New York.
There was one difference however. No
matter how small the landing, the sloop
or schooner came up to q wharf Of

should ship a barrel of cabbage or
lettuce or any product of that kind
by rail, to market in New York, it
would cost as much to get it there
as it would from Norfolk, Virginia. We
think nothing of hauling our products
twenty miles by wagon. From my
section hundreds of wagons go to mar
ket in Brooklyn and also in Harlem.
with us water transportation is the
cheapest. With you it seems to be the
dearest, although I can understand
something of the causes that make it
dear I should think that a railroad

wai to Hilo collecting products along
the way and bringing them all TO Hilo
from whence they could be shipped
once week or OTIeneF DY steamship
would aid greatly. DR.. Smith at the
experiment station told me that there
was undoubtedly a large amount of
forage that could be raised here in
stead of being shipped from California
if it did not cost more to ship it from
Hawaii than it does from San Fran
cisco.
81 saw cattle shipped from Hawaii.
IT seems to me that these cattle ought
to be killed and dressed where they
are raised and shipped here as dressed
beef. Ice plants at the point of ship
ment and cold storage facilities it
seems to me would be great deal
better than swimming the cattle out to
the steamships, hosting them aboard
by their horns carrying them for hours
where they are in a continual state Of
fright, exposed to the spray, frighLen-
ed by the motion of the boat, landed
where there are no facilities, and then
killing them here. 1t seems to me
there would be less loss of weight and

mite plans for overcoming the difficult |
les of transportation. I only feel that |

A Watermelon
FOR OAHU COUNTY
Fifteen Thousand Additional
to the Monthly
Stipend.

The County of Oahu will get water
melon about the middle of this month
in the shape of about $4,000 additional
to it's regular monthly stipend. Since
the first of the year the Territorial
Auditor has allowed Oahu County,
under the County Act, $35,000 for two
months of the year and $4,000 for the
other months. This was the estimated
amount of fifty per cent. of the taxes
collected within the county. Now that
the half yearly tax collections have
been made up it is known that the
county's share is about $4,000 more
than has been allowed it, and this, 1t
is expected, will be paid July Is or 16.
Aside from this, however. the county
will have 70 get along on $4,000
month for the remainder of the year.
Averaging this $4,000 throughout the
remainder of the year will give the
county an average of about $32,50O
month.

ROOM HERE, AND
OPPORTUNITY
Congressman Mckinney Speaks
of Diversified In
dustrieS.

''The thing that has struck me most
forcibly," said Congressman Mckinney
yesterday, "in my visit here, is the ex-
ceeding beauty of your islands. They
are irresistible. Already I feel that
shall come again and again. In Cali
fornia there is much that is grand and
beautiful, but her landscape throughout
the summer, at least in much of it, is
brown and dry, while here there is al
ways verdure and in many places and
at many times the beauty of showers
and rainbows every day.
"Then the variety of your fruits and
flowers is a constant delight, and an
intimation of great economic possibil-
tiles. I was in Panama last winter.
Perhaps it was not the right season of
the wear, but there was nothing like
the abundance and variety of fruits
and flowers there that you have here.
Trey do not have your alligator pears
there, nor your papaya.
"But not alone have you exceedingly
beautiful islands, but the longer have
been here the more / have been i'm
pressed with what seems to me the evil
dence that you have here room, and
opportunity in the variety of valuable
and merchantable products which your
land will grow, for q constantly-in-
creasing population.
1--WE visited the United States Ex-
pertinent Station today, and DR.. Smith
told us that there We're 10000 acres 'of
land in the islands capable of produc-
ing a better quality of tobacco than any
that grows in the Philippines. You
have certain areas here undoubtedly
suitable for rubber. The pineapple
industry is already developing into
large proportions. [ understand that
each years crop of coffee is larger than
the last. Sisal will grow. There are
places where every crop Of the temper
ate zone will grow, though I do not
know that all will grow profitable. All
of these things offer opportunities for
an American, or, l may say, white
opulatiOn-though a white population
will eventually be an American popu-
lation.
Il am a member of the Committee
on Territories, and so have heard much
about these islands. But seeing them
makes everything 1 have heard so un-
derstandabie. have seen these islands
for myself and I shall be more than
ever interested in them.
THE United States Experiment Sta
ton was of the very greatest interest
to us. in a sense much more interest
ing than the Planters Experiment Sta
ton. We know that sugar cane will
grow here and that the sugar industry
is profitable. The Planters Experiment
Station is intensely interesting in its
work of scientifically meeting the in
sect and fungus enemies of cane and
overcoming them, and in it's work of
investigation to- determine
now better than has been done in the
past to combine natures elements to !
produce more cane and to produce 1t |
more economically. But the United
states Experiment Station is for the
purpose of determining what other ag-
icuItural products than cane can be
Produced here profitably; to determine

A RESTAURANT
FOR PEARL CITY
Application of White FavorabIy
Considered by the
Board.

The Board of License Commissioners
proved the application of B. T. White
for a restaurant license, with the after
hours and Sunday privileges. for a res
taurant at Pearl City. The approval
however, is subject to report by the
license inspector as to the extent of
the premises for which the license is
granted. 1t is not the intention of the
Board to license as extensive premises
as have been applied for.
The application for this license was
originally from White & Colbron, but
it was early made evident that it was
doubtful if a license would be issued
to Colbron as a licensee, as most of
the objections which weighed with the
Board were directed at him. He after
wards withdrew as an applicant, and
White became the sole applicant. White
is said to be about ninety years of age,
venerable in appearance, but hale and
hearty and active, and frequently seen
driving to Honolulu or back.
The license inspector made a favor
able report on the application of Fred
kiley for a saloon license for the Fav-
orite Grotto, Bethel and Hotel streets,
His application was ordered advertised
for four weeks and will then come up
for action. Meanwhile the Anti-Saloon
League is making an active canvass
for signatures to a protest against the
granting of the license.
Secretary Campbell of the Board,
who has been reported to have chang
ed his views in regard to Kiley's ap-
plication, and to be now willing to
vote for granting the license, says that
he has not changed his views. Il have
said from the beginning" he stated
yesterday, that considered that that
locality was the saloon center of the
city, or one of them. There are, and
for a long time have been, five saloons
right in that locality, the Fashion, the
Pantheon, what was the Columbia, the
Criterion and the Favorite. Because
of this fact and because of conditions
that exist, saloons there, are in my
opinion less Objectionable than they
would be in many other localities.
Hence, have said that as an individ-
ual I was in favor, other things being
equal, of granting a saloon license for
restaurant license in this locality and
/ voted against the application for a
restaurant license"

DOG CATCHERS
ARE ABOUT

Sixty dogs, including all sizes, breeds
and conditions of servitude, are being
held by the police in the dog pound
at IwiIei awaiting either claimants with
the amounts necessary to ransom them
and tag them or death at the hands of
the public executioner. For the past
three or four days the dog catchers
have been at work and many a small
boy has been plunged into grief at the
swift departure of his pet at the end
of the catcher's lasso. In all seventy
five doggies have been gathered in,
a few of them being redeemed. 1t is
the purpose of the police to clear the
town of untagged dogs and a good
start to that end has been made.
