for the present year will be even more
striking than they have been in the
past.
The cost of the education of the Jap
anese is another matter which is of
interest. According to the latest fig
ures which have been made up by the
Superintendent of Education the aver
age cost per child for the school year
amounts to S25 .16, total cost to the
taxpayers of the Territory for Japa-
nese school children of $136, 439 90. 1t
is also interesting to note that the
Japanese are not increasing their own
private schools in proportion to the
increase of Japanese pupils in the pub.
lie schools. A few years ago it was
comparatively rare for the Japanese to
attend the public schools. Now they
have learned that the free tuition fur
nished by the government is better
than that which they have to pay for
in their own schools and they are COM
ing in ever increasing numbers and the
private schools are dropping out rapid
ly.
OF course under the Territorial laws
the Japanese have just as much right
in the public schools as any other ma
tionality and they are given the same
chance. When the school term COM
mences the first to take their seats are
the scholars who have been in the
school before After that it is first
come first served and if the son of an
American happens to be little behind
a horde of Japanese and the rooms are
filled to their seating capacity. the citi-
zen's son is told THAI he must come
back later for his chance to learn,
while the children of foreign birth Of
tentimes. and certainly of foreign par
entage, get the first opportunity.
But few full reports of enrollments
have come in as yet, but these have
been enough to show that there will be
a great deal of trouble in seating the
children. In the Kaiulani School,
which seats 5S4, 6O4 have been enrolled
as against $50 last year. In the Ka-
humanu school which seats GIG and
where there were $50 last year, the
present list already shows 657 and this
number will probably be still further
increased.

'THE SCHOOLS
IN TROUBLE
WAS LAST YEAR,

A meeting of the principals of all the
local public schools win be held to-
morrow afternoon to consider the best
means of handling the children who
have been unable to find accommoda-
lions in the local schools The situa-
ton is a very serious one and is caus-
ing superintendent Babbttt good
deal of worry The Normal school is
good instance of the manner in which
children looking for education have
been turned away.
In the final courses at the Normal
school 100 children have been enrolled
this year, as compared with Sc year
ago. In the preparatory classes there
are SO where there were but "a last
year. In the lower grades there are
about 275 children and 1876 were turned
away on account of the fact that there
was no room for them.
Now that the trouble has come up
in manner which has called for gen
eral attention both from the Territorial
officials and from the public, it is in
teresting to note the cause. There is
only one reason for the tremendous in
crease, which is keeping so many chill
dren from having their regular place in
the public schools and that is the great
increase in Japanese who are attend
ing school.
The report of Superintendent Bah
bitt to Governor Frear shows what this
was in the past year and it will, with
out doubt be shown up still more
strongly when the figures for the pres
ent year are available. In 1907 the
percentage of Japanese in the public
schools was 27.O6 of the total of al
nationalities That is there were 502J
Japanese school children attending the
public educational institutions in the

alities of 1864 These figures show
the relative numbers but not the in

When it comes to increase the figure!

and ninety five hundredths per cent o

put into the game, this hope may be
defeated, for after pledges have been
redeemed by first votes for the prin-
cipal rivals, Dowsett would accumu-

The first precinct of the 4th district
held an interesting cancus last night,
at which the mayoralty fighbwas half
taken up,-somewhat as a hot potato
is supposed to be }taken up,-and
dropped. Prince Kuhio showed en-
phaticaly his support of Lane, and
proposed an endorsement of Lane. But
there were immediate. responses in the
form of proposals to endorse Hustaee,
and then Lucas. Seeing a fight in
prospect, the members of the caucus
decided to drop the matter altogether.
The first endorsed ]. H. Boyd for

TALLY, using prosecutions with bitter
ness against some and not prosecuting
others.
The active agent ~ filing the charges
against Breckons is Rev. E. w. Thwing
pastor of a Chinese church, and active
in the reforms undertaken by the Min
isterial Union and the Civic Federation
He was active in seeking to prevent
certain pugilistic contests some months
ago. These were advertised as prize
fights, until efforts to prevent them
began to be made, and admission was
charged and the fights were for d
purse. Breckons refused to make any
efforts to stop these, and, 1t is alleged,
assured those interested that they
would not be prosecuted under the
Federal law. This seems to have been
the start of Rev. e. w. Thwings active
campaign against BreckOns.
Breckons came here from Wyoming.
He succeeded John C. Baird, who also
came here from Wyoming, He was
reappointed a few months ago for a
second term.

body of men physically. Not long ago
four Of them occupied the least crowd
ed seat in full compartment on q
Scotland railway. Just as the train
was moving off a diminutiee little
clergyman jumped into the conpart-
ment, and tried to edge himself be-
tween two of the Highlanders. Not
finding it very comfortable, he turned
to the one on. his right, and said: sit
up, please. You know that according
to act of parliament this seat holds

Three Sabbaths Every Week.

Morocco is country of many Sab
baths. The first three days I spent in
Tangier were all Sabbaths. Arriving
on Thursday night the next day was
Friday, the Mohammedan Sabbath,
which was followed by the Jewish
Sabbath-the Hebrew element in Tan
gier is considerable and strict in re-
ligious observance--and that in turn
by the Christian Sunday. Subsequent
comparisons, however, revealed little
difference between any days of the
week. On the Mohammedan Sabbath
a black flag is hoisted on the minarets
at the prayer of dawn, instead of the
white flag that announces the time
of devotions on other days. 1t re-
mains up until the middle of the fore
noon, by which time everybody is sup
posed to have found out what day it
is.-N. Y. Post.

English Women Are Taller.

That American women are consid-
erably shorter than their English SIS
ters was the dictum laid down by q
ladies tailor in a lawsuit in London in
which Sydney Lyons sued a Canadian
dressmaker for gowns he had supplied.
The Canadian contended that the
dresses were not "of American size"
Some experts called to give testimony
declared that models for gowns for
English, French and American women
are the same, but Dressmaker Mckay
of Toronto averred: THE English
stock size would not fit anyone in
America. They might fit giraffes, but
not the women of Hamilton, Ontario
The length from the neck to waist of
the American model is 141a inches and
of the English 16 inches The Ameri.
can shoulder seam is six inches and
the English Az inches" Unimpressed
by these measurements the court gave

ALASKAN BIRDS IN CALIFORNIA.
Strange Visitors Brought to San Ber.
nardino by Big Storm.

At an early hour this morning sew
eral locks of strange birds numbering
thousands came into the city on the
wings of big rain and wind storm.
and this morning the bodies of many
OF the fowl were found lying inert in
the downtown streets and in the
parks, says San Bernardino CORE
spondent of the San Francisco Chron-
icle. The air was filled last night with
cries of strange fowl which, attracted
by the electric lights, roasted upon the
buildings or fell exhausted in the
streets. Investigation to-day showed
that many of the birds were of Alas
kan variety, and the only accounting
TOT their presence in this latitude is
that they were engaged in a long
Hight to the southern zones from their
northern summer haunts and had been
deferred from their route by heavy
winds and rains. The most noticeable
Dirds were the northern phalorpe and
the night herons. The former birds
are rarely seen outside of Alaska or
in the far south.

SHOCKED IN HAUNTED CHAMBER
Sleepers' Fright, However, Was Not
Caused by Ghosts.

John Leech and a member of the
Millais family once stayed a night at
Cowdray hall, in England, where,
many guests being present, the two
friends had no alternative but TO ac-
cept beds in an isolated room sup
posed to be haunted.
In the middle of the night Millais
awoke, believing that some giant was
shaking him violently by the shoulder.
This was supposed to be the favorite
device of the ghost. He rushed into
corridor and found Leech sitting
there trembling and declaring that he
would not for the world go back to
his room.
They spent the remainder of the
night in the corridor, but in the morn
ing said nothing of their experiences
In the afternoon there arrived an
evening paper telling of a violent
earthquake in the locality. The earth
quake was what the two visitors be-
lieved to be their ghost.
