OUTLAW
WAS MARRIED
Takes His Newly Welded Wife
to MOI0kai as His
k0kua.

Opunui ALA, the leper outlaw, who
was captured at Hawaihapai, near Wal
alua, November %, after having defied
the police and health authorities for
several years, was married December
l, to his cousin, Jennie Davis. The IL
cense was issued by C. Charlock. The
ceremony took place at Kalihi, and was
performed by S. K. Kaloa, "pastor of
the church of reasonable service, and
Democratic politician.
One of the conditions that Opunui
made before he would consent to go to
Molokai was that he should be allowed
to marry the woman and that she should
60 with him to the Settlement as his
kokua. She is expected to become a
mother shortly.
The matter of sending her to the Set
Element as kokua was approved at the
meeting of the Board of Health yester-
day.

CHINESE GAMBLERS
ACCUSE 4 DETECTIVE

Some of the twenty-seven Chinese ar.
rested in the Joe Leal raid on a Mauna
kea street gambling joint and fined in
police court, say that they paid for pro
lection and should have had it. They
claim that the Leal raid was merely
spectacular, in spite of which it landed
them where they had to disgorge lot
of money. Lum Hoon, the keeper, said
he had arranged the raid with Leal for
Sunday. The Sheriff, who is investigat-
ing the matter, says that Leal asked to
pull the place on Sunday, but did moth
ing, complaining that Kalakiela and
Luawiha went there and spoiled the
chance. On Thursday Leal asked for
another chance, got it, and landed the
twenty-seven players. Mr.. Leal says
that the whole thing is a put up job,
the Chinese having made it a policy to
so accuse all officers who raid them. In
this case there seems to have been a
wish to also divert attention from
bigger game.

When You
Are Ready to
Buy

Do not imagine that the man with
a house to sell will sheer at you for
demanding information on all details in
advance. The real-estate agent or
HORSEPOWER will respect you for at
lacking the question in d thorough,
earnest, systematic fashion.
Ascertain why the man from whom
you think of purchasing is selling his
home. Tt may be the very reason why
you do not wish to buy that house
Ascertain the source Of the water
supply and the exact nature of the
sewerage or cesspool system. The
health of your family will depend upon
these two factors.
Haste in real estate is dangerous.
You will always be urged to close a
deal at once. Such a bargain will
never remain open until the morrow!
Perhapsi
Your neighbors, near or distant, will
affect the value of your property, to
say nothing Of your peace of mind. !.
In section already built, its social
status, its schools, it's neighborhoods
and its financial values are determined.
Do not buy home SO small that you
know within the next few years you
will feel it necessary to add room or
two. Tt is hard to meet payments and
carpenter bills simultaneously.
Do not let any specious real-estate
agent part you from that hard earned
money by any lightning-Eike system of
argument The real-estate agent IS
more interested in his commission than
in your future comfort and satisfac-
ton.
Above all things, do not buy in a
neighborhood where "for sale' signs
are as thick as hops. Buy in a suburb
or neighborhood to which families are
moving. not from which they are fee
ing. Remember that while this most
attractive house is to be your home,
chock full of sentiment, it also repre-
sents the investment of your savings.
Buy where land promises to increase IN
value, not depreciate.
Investigate the title Of the land rig
idly. Either secure a title guarantee
from a reliable concern or have the alb
stract made by some one to be trusted.
Ascertain the source of the water
supply, gas and electricity.
This will take time, and all this time
the insistent agent will be after you.
Let him stew and fuss. Far better
that he should fret now about his COM
mission than that you should fret for
years over money hastily invested.

.ANorrIEli noRpEn wAn.

Very different from a few Thibetaits
armed with matchlocks. or naked
Zulus hurting assegais are the Afridis
In Afghanistan, whom the British are
at present trying TO punish. We never
syinpathized with the expedition 10
Lhassa. and we have scant praise for
British victories over naked savages.
But the tanning of the Iuka Kleyls Is
mans work, and deserves the COM
mendation that comes to dangerous
measures fearlessly undertaken. Just
northwest OF India lies the Khybcr
Pass, and in the mountains overlook
ing this pass live the Afridis, who are
divided into eight tribes.
The fiercest and most untamed of all
are the lulSa Kheyls or Zalka kiles,
who. like the robber barons of Switzer-
land and the Rhine, have lived for
centuries by extorting tribute from
peaceful merchants and wayfarers,
Naturally the British empire wishes to
keep the great pass to the northwest
open. but to make that road safe Is TO
destroy a chief source of revenue, and
the Z,,ka Kheyls, like the unjust stew
ard cannot work. Rather they prefer to
lie concealed behind great boulders,
and with modern weapons snipe away
at fat-headed British troops. "Fleas
have other fleas to bite en- and the
British have learned by bitter eSpe-
rience that the Ghoorkas. another hill
tribe in the British service, can cope
with the Afridis on their own noun

expedition, therefore, is not in doubt.
But still the wild orators of the
Khyber Pass may chant Mr.. Kipling's

PUBLICrI,Y FOR KILLS..

The unusual publicity which The
has been able to give
this year to the work OF the Legisla-
ture has been, as we are assured and
believe, of benefit to the State and OF
assistance to the members themselves.
We believe that there cannot be too
much light and ventilation in connec-
ton with the doings of any represen-
tative body. Misunderstanding and
mislnformation are responsible for
many of the errors of such bodies, and
of much of the public criticism and
harsh judgments concerning them.
We -egret, therefore, the failure OF
Senator Harman's bin to require the
Superintendent of Public Printing tc
furnish copies of bills, journals, Acts
of Assembly and other legislative docu
mcnts 20 the officers of the State gov
eminent, judges, newspapers and Il

rlrI. STATES REVENUES.

We regretted to notice q double dis
position upon the part of the LeSisla-
ture. first, to spend every available
dollar in the treasury. and, second, to
diminish the sources of the States In
come. The result of these two COM
bined movements. unless we have two
years of continued prosperity, is going
TO strain the resources of the State
treasury.
A sound business discretion would
seem to dictate extreme caution in
making increases in salaries and extra
appropriations, without at the same
time maintaining the sources of reve-
nue., or if possible, adding to the funds
out of which these demands must be
met. We had hoped that some means
could have been devised of realizing
from the oyster industry, from the min
ing interests, and from foreign corpo-,
rations enough additional revenue to
insure the progress OF the State along
industrial educational and socological
lines, without irspairing the credit OF
the State or gripping Its necessary
governmental functions. We sincerely
hope that the danger line has not been
approached, but the apparent falling
off in railroad earnings and the re-
duction of license taxes from rural
saloons ard distilleries must inevitably
cause a falling off in tax receipts.
With uniform taxation a proper
segregation of property for assessment,
and an equitable distribution of the
burdens upon all subjects. we have no
doubt shat there would be no lack of
money tc carry on the various worthy
enterprises to which the State is COM
mitted We believe that the next
Legislature should address itself early
and vigorously to solution of these
problems.

A RUSSIANS QUEST.

Trial by ordeal was a common and
interesting feature of life in the mid
die ages. The suspect was required to
carry redhot iron in his hand a
specified distance, or to walk barefoot
upon redhot ploughshares. If he did
this without burning himself he was
innocent. If he did not-and few did
he was guilty. Or he was thrown into
the river. the privilege of swimming
being barred. If he floated, he was
convicted. If he sank, he was ac-
quilted.
on much tho same principle, it would
seem, General Fock has set to work
to eNterminate that section of the Rus
sian army which questions his courage
at Port Arthur. or else to be extcrmi-
mated by that section. The Russian
duel is no Partisan affair. The condi-
lions under which F'ock and Smirnoff
fought on Wednesday made trouble
certain. They were stationed at TWEEN
ty PAGES, and were to shoot until one
or the other fell. Smlrnoffs wound
is, according to one account, probably
| fatal. The victor's next ngagement,
that with General Gorbatoffsky, is
presumably under the same terms.
What does Fock hope to prove? In
the course of court-martial some Of
his brother oHeers found 1t necessary
to state their opinions of his personal
courage. II he kills all those whose
opinions are unflattering. has he
proved. prima facie. that they were
wrong? Is he a brave man IL he Stays
them, and a coward IL they STAY him?
Or does the general believe that his
mere participation In duel will prove
| that he is brave man and so conduct
ed himself at Port Arthur? Is it not a
fact that. great towards have fought
duels, and, for that matter, killed
| brave men?
