EQUALITY PRESIDENT
ATTACKS CATHCART

There are monkeys In the other
political parties, waiting for the OPP
pOrtunity to lick and eat up all tho
butter after election"
! j. X. Nakookoo, president of the
Equality Society. made the above
statement at noon today from the soap
box. He said that those who are
working hard under the other political
parties were expecting to see their
candidates elected so that they could
cat u pthe butter themselves. lie said
that the Equality Society was organ
ICED for the benefit of all the people,
regardless of race, color or nationality.
Its purpose was to see that every man
was treated equally. At present those
candidates who were connected with
o party were given preference. The
iuty Of this society was to elect good
men
Nakookoo attacked Cathcart because
he did not appoint Hawaiians as his
deputies; but that he got q malihini
rom the States and made him his
deputy. There were competent Ha.
waiian lawyers such as the Long
boys. kaulukou and Heen: but none
Df them were ever given positions
under him. That proved that Cath.
cart was not treating the Hawaiian
right. He urged the voters to give
their support for Sheriff laukea, J. X.
Kalanianaole, G. A. Long and all those
who were endorsed by the Equality
Society.

Som. r...-D.y super.ti.lor..

In Armenia, fasts. both Of necessity
and Of choice, are very general. and
strictly observed. The most common
length Of time for abstinence from
food il seven days.
Throughout this long period the Ar
menians, imbued with religious fever,
partake OF no food. Only in the case
OF the young unmarried woman is
any concession allowed.
The young men. on the seventh day
Of their fast, are allowed. by old and
sacred custom, to eat little cake, free

and she will carry him a jug, filed

The dream maiden will be the girl

DESTINED TO DIE BY BULLET.
Mothers Belief In Boys Fate Seemed
Justified by Events.

People may jeer at fatalism and
poke fun at all ideas which are embod-
led In .predestination," said Senator
Culberson of Texas at small gather
ing of friends the other day in Wash
ington, but sometimes man rubs ell
bows with events which make him less
skeptical about such things. A fine
young boy near Dallas was shot while
out hunting. and the bullet lodged so
near his neart that there was not one
chance in thousand that he could
survive an operation. But he did sur
vive, and the operation was one OF the
things of which the surgeons In the To-
cal hospital were very proud. But
the boys recovery was tedious and as
soon as the fever left him he was
allowed to see his friends and to play
cards and generally to amuse himself.
The bullet had been given to the boy
and occupied conspicuous place on
the table. Every caller saw and handled
the bullet and talked over his almost
miraculous escape from death. One
day the boys mother was with him
and several relatives when a boy
who had formerly gone to school with
the patient paid him visit and OF
course he wanted to hear all about
the operation and to see the bullet.
The boy told IL all with great vim
and then. taking up the bullet. he said:
Here's the bullet that caused all the
trouble. and now / shall bite 1t to
pieces to pay 1t back. and he laugh
ingly put It In his mouth. Just then
he was seized with coughing fit, the
bullet slipped down his throat, lodged
in his windpipe, and in few minutes
he had strangled to death. The poor
mother was nearly crazed with grief,
but she afterward told the pastor OF
her church that she felt her son was
destined to die of that bullet and that
she had little confidence Of his re-
covery, even when the operation was
pronounced successful. She had dab
bled somewhat in the occult sciences
and she declared that the boy had been
predestined from all time to die from
that particular bullet and that nothing
could save him from that fate"

Explained to the Rector.

st. Thomas Episcopal church in
Fifth avenue has under its jurisdiction
an East side chapel, says the New
York Sun. One OF the features Of
the chapel is gymnasium, in which
boys are trained in all the branches
Of physical culture. Some Of the boys
are quicker in this sort of training
than they are in the more polite talk
of the West side boys.
The rector Of st. Thomas, Rev. Dr.
Stires. visits the chapel frequently,
and is fond of talking with the lads
about their work. He said to one lit
tie fellow who halls from near the
East river:
We'll, my son, they tell me you
won quite victory in your last con-
test with the boys of rival school"
Il don't know bout that. but wen we
went up ag'in dat bunch from st. Pats
we put It all over EN-. and dey amt
never peeped since"
The rector patted him on the head
and said: my boy, you're all right"
Oats what I'm here for was the
quick reply.

HUMANITY NOW LoNoER. LIxED
statistics Do Not Bear Out Statement
That Man 10 psterIoratins.

A German scientist, DR.. Emil KONG.
has lately undertaken to prove that
In highly civilized countries man has
abused his constitutional strength,
and consequently is more susceptible
to disease than he was in earlier
times. There is obviously something
to be said for this averment, but, con-
sidered as whole. the facts do not
bear 1t out.
It Is unquestionably true that az
civilization advances human life be-
comes more complex, and the pres
sure upon q mans physical resources
tends to become more intense. 1t 10
also true that certain forms Of disease.
such, for instance, as cancer and heart
weakness, appear to be more prevar
lent than they were century ago.
we say appear" because only In .
comparatively recent period have the
statistics Of mortality and Its causes
been trustworthy and exhaustive.
The Official records Of Geneva, which
have been kept carefully for long
period, prove that the average durar
ton OF human life 10 materially great
or than 1t was $50 or 100 years ago.
Not only the average length Of human
existence, but the retention Of physical
and intellectual vigor, or what II
called the prime Of life, tends to be
prolonged. The age limit Of useful
ness has in practice been pushed for
ward.
The fruitful activity Of men over 80,
and even 20, years OF age y phe-
nomenon far more frequently observed
to-day than It was 100 years ago. Ma
poleon's career was over at IS; Won
Moltke's can scarcely be said to have
begun, so far as great achievements
were concerned, till he was nearly 20.
What is true Of war is true Of diplo-
macy, of law, Of medicine. OF every
field of work in which mental and
physical energy IL indispensable.
When, in q word, we examine impair
TALLY all the data, weighing accurate
ly all the evidence pro and CON, we
seem justified in taking an optimistic
rather than DR.. Konig's pessimistic
view Of the effect of civilization on the
bodily well-being and longevity OF
man.

Dangerous Bathing Companions.

That bathing in Manila bay might
be considered doubtful Joy by most
people is proved by the following from
the Manila Times: Manila bathers
have generally scoffed at repeated
warnings against sharks in Manila
bay. Not long ago Capt R. M. Lasaia.
whose residence is on Malate beach,
reported a large shark seen close to
the beach from his house. The launch
Nina OF the Manila Navigation and
transportation Company has just
brought to the company's Offices saw
fish found stranded at Salinas, Cavite.
The sawfish measures from the end
Of the saw to the end Of its tail JUST
12h feet, and from tip to tip of its
fins measures Az feet. 1t would seem
to behoove bathers. more especially
those who are in the habit of swim
ming from ships in the bay, to ex-
ercise care"

When the Deacon
Fell from Grace
y HUGH psNDsxrzs
Copyright.)

It was on the first day of the county
fair that Deacon Plunkett fell from
grace. There were many who merely
pitied him for ever wagering his hard
earned money on the gaunt mare,
Abigail's Pride, but the insistence Of
the spitefui few that he be disciplined
carried the day, and as result three
fellow churchmen met in solemn con-
clave to mete out justice.
The postmaster. Q staunch elder,
presided and duly read the charges.
The poor deacon could only groan and
twist his rheumatic fingers and gaze
appealingly from one stern face to an
other and breathe hurriedly as II
pressed for air. The session was held
in the back room of the post ONCE,
overlooking the old-style. half-mile
track. where even now the fair mana
gers were preparing for the morrow BY
dragging brush around the circle.
The rain had interrupted the races
after the day Of the deacon's down
fall, but the culprit, even amid his
heavy groans. realized the sun and
wind would thoroughly dry the gravel
inside Of the next "a hours.
wal, Brother Plunkett, how dye

gravely, his angular lower Jaw thrust.
ing forward with puritanic fixity Of
purpose.
''Lawd! What can say, elder!
That pesky Wilder Peasly says she
see me plank down half dollar on
tn fence an then see Alb Thomas
cover II with another half dollar"
moaned the deacon.
Were surprised, Deacon Plunkett,
that man Of your years should be SO
weak" growled Hiram Whitten's
heavy bass, and he wrinkled his nose
sourly, while his half-closed eyes gave
no intimation Of leniency. 1t would
seem, brethering. that as tn deacon
has well-nigh confessed we can only
return verdict Of guilty az charged
an leave II for tn congregation to say
what shall be DONE"
"Mebbe. we ought to dig into this a
bit deeper" suggested the third inves-
tigator Head Selectman Carr. "Mebbe,
his mind was upset in some way.
What boss did yet bet on. deacon"
"On that derned Abigairs Pride"
sighed the deacon. she struck me as
such a sweet natur'd driver, such a
cheerful, gamy little mare, that didn't
think 1t was gamblin'. Why, I'd aswore
Alb Thomas didn't have a ghost OF a
show. An where there amt no chance
to lose don't see how II IL gamblin'."
Il never liked tn way she carried
