A dispatch from San Francisco says
that the confinement of distinguished
graft and bank-wrecking prisoners at
the county Jail has proved a boon for
the cause of prison reform in that city.
The distinguished prisoners know how
it feels and believes that the other pris-
oners, the undistinguished ones. prob
ably suffer too. The method of prison
reform thus suggested is too strenuous
for conservative tastes. It looks at lasr
as if the Los Angeles city prison might
be reformed without extreme measures.

not in London, but in the borough of
Manhattan.
It is impossible to speculate on the
possible outcome of the controversy in
New York, because it creates a condi-
ton that is without precedent in this
republic. 1t suggests that in spite of
prevailing prejudlces legislation in the
crowded metropolis must become more
or less sumptuary; or, as in the case
of Ireland, a rent commission may be
appointed to examine landlords and
tenants and strike what it considers
to be a fair rental. A rent commission
in the western republic may be consid-
cred by some to be a humiliating
acknowledgment that we are in some
respects no better off than some parts
of the English-speaking monarchy.
Well are we?
In any event. a rent commission is
much less drastic method of rent regu-
lation than riot. Any Irish landlord
would tell you that he would much
rather accept the ruling of a commits
sion as to the fair rental or purchase
value of his land than be shot from
behind a hedge; and the New York
landlords probably think that, since
half a loaf is better than no bread,
reduction in rentals. if rentals were
paid would be better than the main
tenance of high standard of rentals
which are not paid and which. the ten
ants say, will not be paid.
Lest any sentimental reader should
be preparing to shed a sympathetis
tear over the poor landlords who may
be deprived of a livelihood by the
audacity and obstinacy of the tenants
it may be mentioned that among the
leading tenement house proprietors are
the Aston and Goelet estates, and (tell
it not in Gath, neither publish it in the
streets of Askalon, lest the Philistine
rejoice) that cultured. refined, highly
moral group of shepherds of souls
known as Trinity Church Corporation.

Killed
Shippy?

Has Honolulu killed the Chicago
Chief Of Police?
That is the question that is agitat-
ing the minds of some of the good
people who follow the Interpretation
of the cable dispatches.
1t will be remembered that Homo
lulu crowned King Edward before
the deed was done in London, but
that was before the days Of the cable.
The question came up this morn
ing when the cable dispatches told
the story of the anarchist, who was
supposed to have killed the Chicago
Chief Of Police. having been buried
in "Potter's field" This struck many
as mighty quick work, as there had
been no previous announcement of
the death Of the'anarchist.
This set people on the street ask
ing questions and the men in the
newspaper offices looking up the skel-
etonized dispatches OF the Associated
Press. II Shippy was killed. how did
they dispose of the anarchist so
quickly?
The original cablegram Of March

shot killed anarchist who entered
home his son wounded coachman."
This was interpreted in the two
afternoon paper offices to mean that
Chief of Police Shippy had been shot
and killed. Reading II over a second
time, 1t appears that 1t might well
read two ways, and mean that the
Chief of Police of Chicago had shot
and killed an anarchist who entered
the home of his son.
The cable received this morning
bears out the latter Interpretation,
and, II It proves to be the fact, every
body of course will say that "of
course" that was the way to read It,
and how strange that such a mistake
should be made.
Meanwhile II Is reasonable to be-
lieve that, after all, Chief of Police
Shippy may not be dead. There
seems no doubt that the anarchist
came to an early end and has been
buried.

Church, 1t was carried on, as IL had
previously been, in the basement
rooms of that building, until Novem-
her, 1869, when the school was re-
moved to the stone building erected
by the Board on site purchased for
that object on the corner of Fort and
School streets.
In 1870. It existed in two depart
ments, under Mr.. NJ. Il. Beckwith as
principal. with Miles NJ. J. Armstrong
and Bella Holden as assistants, with
112 pupils. The site and building
cost S1O,4S5.
I'm September, 1878, the Board of
Education authorized the Inspector
General, Mr.. II. r. Hitchcock, TO pre-
pare a curriculum of studies for the
school, which should embrace High
School course. Such course was
prepared. approved by the Board, and
enforced. Number Of pupils. 60.
I'm 1873, the attendance on the
school had fallen off to forty-two
boys. Soon after this, Mr.. Alatau r.
Atkinson, who had private school
known as the st. Adams College. was
appointed principal, bringing his pri-
vate pupils, both boys and girls, to
the school, increasing the enrolment
in 1880 to 1G5 pupils, and in 1882
to 249.
Such Is brief history of the
origin and transformation of the be-
ginning and progress of the present
High School. In 1894 the present
| site of the school was purchased by
the Board OF Education for the sum
of $50, 900. and the pupils were hous-

students of the school on the future

detailed history of the school was as
follows:
History of the School
in 1888 the Oahu Charity School
first opened its doors. Its avowed
object was to try its experiment of
teaching half-whites the English Ian
guage; and we find 1t designated in
official reports many years later as
the Kula Hapa, or half-whites school.
We shall have occasion to note this
school from time to time as 1t passes
through its various stages as the Ho-
nolulu Town School, the Fort Street
School, and finally 1t is the High
School.
"In 1S49 legal provision was
made for a special tax to be levied
upon all foreign residents, the pro.
ceeds to be devoted to the education
of the children of such foreigners
Thus was made the first government
provision for the education of white
children in separate schools. But as
the fathers of the Hawaiian chill
dren shared In the burden OF tho
support of such schools their chill
dren were given the same privileges
as those of pure white blood. In thi
movement the old Oahu Chart!
School changed It's character and IL
name, becoming school for whit
and half-white children, and takinl
the name of the Honolulu Tow
School. Anticipating this story
little, we note that few years late
, II combined with n private school 70
white children, taking the name G
the latter and becoming the For
, Street School. From that time to tn
present no radical changes have bee
, made in the constitution of thi
: school, but 1t has grown and develop
ed with the community and its need
until II has become the allied school
, headed by the present Honolulu Hig
School.

A very important incident of the

voted to devote the memorial funds
to the High School. The terms of
the gift are contained in the follow
