Crazy Man Not Landed.

All the way up to Honolulu from
Brisbane there was one passenger
aboard the Mariana who gave more
trouble to the officers than all the rest
combined. For that reason an effort
was made to land the Objectionable per,
son at this port, but on learning from
the Attorney General s department
that if the man committed any crime
or made himself Objectionable, the
steamship people would be held re-
sponsible, the officers decided to carry
him along to Canada. The person In
question is an insane American, who
boarded the vessel at Sydney. Accord.
ing 20 the officers he was to go only
to Brisbane, but in some manner failed
TO disembark there and had to be car
ried from port to port.
During the voyage the man has been
confined in special hospital under
treatment of the surgeon. He refuses
utterly to clothe himself and has trav-
eled most of the distance in a nude
condition. The hospital is on the
bridge deck away from all the passen-
gers. As an American the steamship
officers were aware that the man could
be landed here. Had he been an
alien. a Britisher for instance, the
American regulations would have
barred his landing. But the steamship
people decided to take no chances of
being sued and the surgeon will have
his hands full for another eight days.
The Mariana arrived yesterday morn
inc from the Colonies, bringing $50
tons of freight for Honolulu. She de-
parted for Vancouver and Victoria at
) o 'cIock. taking about twenty five pas
senpers from here. Among them were

ECONOMY CARRIED TOO FAR.
Old Mans Thrift That Led Him Into
Ridiculous Action.

President ]. G. Schurman of Cornell
was discussing elective college
courses. of which in the freshman and
sophomore years. he disapproves.
"A freshman of 16 or H." said Pres
ident Schurman. ''is too young to
choose for himself the courses best
for him. His mind is not mature
enough. 1t will make mistakes.
I'm its immaturity. its proneness to
error. it is like the mind of an old
man in my native Freetown. He.
though old. was mentally undeveloped.

in a piece OF economy that he put in
practice in the cemetery.

and desired to erect for each a head
stone. with an inscription commemora-
tive of her wifely virtues.
"But inscriptions. he found. were
very expensive. He economical in

Goldfield, Nev.-Local No. 220. West
ern Federation of Miners Thursday by
a referendum vote decided by a vote
of ASS to $50 to accept the Tonopah
scale of wages and declare the strik'
of as to those properties which VIII
pay the Tonopah scale.
Some days ago representatives OF
thirteen different leases agreed to pay
the -ronopah scale. which is SO cents
a day less than the former Goldfield
scale. but so cents more than the scale
recently adopted by the Mine Opera
tors Association.
The Mine Owners Association Will
not grant the advance. The associa
tion companies include all the Dig
mines of the camp and against these
latter the strike is still in effect
The miners Thursday elected an
ultra-conservative president by a vote
Of four 20 one against the radicals.
The vote does not call off the gen
eral strike. as has been reported. II
affects only about seventeen leases and
smaller mines in the camp. the own
ers of which have agreed to pay Si.5O
a day, or the same scale that is in eff
feet at Tcnopah.
Within two or three days perhaps
100 federation men will return to work
under the new rules. The Consoli
dated Mines Company is still under
the ban and several others as well who
stick for $500 day.
1t is said that the camp Will continue
to be open, without formal recognition
of the federation by any of the opera
tors. The seventeen leasers and 9th
ers have become dissatisfied with some
of the rules of the operators associa'
tion and have decided to get their men
back at work, although still refusing
to pay the S. scale.
The vote Thursday may be regard
ed as significant in that 1t opens the
way for fuller resumption of work. The

Last Sad Rites for Victims of Collin.

Cleveland, O.-Funeral professions
on Friday began to wend their way to-
ward the cemeteries, bearing the bat
tered and charred bodies of some of
the 1877 children who persisted in We'd
nesday mornings fire in the Lakeview
school, Collinwood.
From 9 O'Clock In the morning until
dusk there was no cessation in the flu
neral corteges. Those who had no
dead to mourn as a personal loss stood
IN the streets with barred heads as the
professions passed.
One of the saddest funerals was that
of the three children of Janitor Hitter,
held jointly with the services for three
other little ones. Mutterings against
the janitor could be heard about the
village as grief-crazed parents sought
an object upon which to wreak ven
geance, forgetting. as they did. that
Hitter himself was walking with
bowed head and broken heart behind
the bicrs of three of his beloved.
A detail of police was placed about
the Hitter home when the hour for the
funeral came. Fully 500 persons had
gathered, but when the collins were
carried out the doorway the crowd
spread and opened the way for them
without Lrotest or expression of hos
tility

Friday and Saturday the gruesome task
was repeated Sunday witnessed the
last of the Individual burials, and on
Monday the bodies of all those who are
unidentified were laid at rest with one
funeral.
Testimony, describing the mad rush
to death of the school children was
given at the continued session of the
coroner'5 inquest Stories Of heroism
on the part of the women teachers
were recited.
F. p Whitney. superintendent of the
Collinwooj schools stated his belief
that no fire department could have
done any effective work after the fire
had started.
Two of the teachers told of their I'M
availing attempts to open enc of the
doors in tho rear, which they said was
locked.
The inquest also developed the fact
that after the first crush at the door
it was beyond human possibility to aid

In statement Friday Chief Wallace
of the Cleveland fire department. after
an examination of the ruins Of the Col
linwood school, said 1t was his opinion
that the loss of life would not have
been SO great had there been no par
titions at the sides of the storm doors
at the rear entrance. Two feet eight
inches had been taken off either side

animation developed that the doors
