RODERICK O. MATHESON, THE
NEW ADVERTISER EDITOR

Roderick o. Matheson, who becomes
editor of the Advertiser today, is thir
ty-three years old. He was born at
Simcoe, Ontario, and got his collegiate
education at the University of Ontario.
He edited several Canadian weeklies
before coming here which was about
five years ago. He did special work
on the Advertiser before joining the
reportorial staff. In very short time
Mr. Matheson was entrusted with the
more important functions of staff work
and, about year and half ago, was
notified that he would be asked to
succeed Mr. Smith on the latter re-
tirement. Mr.. Matheson was night
editor and editor of the Monday morn
ing paper when he left to take a con-
fidential position with the Governor,
though it was understood then, that he
would return on call Today he as
sumes the duties of editor-in-chief

kALUANUI BEACH ROAD
IS NOW CLEARED

Mayor Fern, Supervisor J. &C. Quinn
and other county officials visited the
Kaluanui Beach road yesterday and
found that the Chinese are complying
with the terms of the agreement by
which they were to remove their houses
and rice threshing floors from the right
of way granted by them to the coun-
tv for the location of the new stretch
of road near Kaluanui beach. The
present road on the beach proper was
found to be absolutely unfordable yes
terday, the water having washed the
sand away. With the aid of num-
Der of Hawaiians, a partial road was
constructed over which Jim Quinn s
machine was driven after some diff
Guilty. The contractor for the new
road is already at work cutting out
underbrush and turning material onto
the proposed route.

MAY ARREST ELGIN FOR
RUNNING A BLIND PIG

that a good round sum will be required
of him If he refuses to come through,
the United States Marshal or one of
his deputies will go to Mahukona and
arrest Mr.. Elgin and bring him back
to Honolulu to stand trial for the
offense with which he is charged. If
convicted, he may not only have to
pay fine, but also go to jail for six
months. 1t is doubtful if, in that event,
all his numerous salaries would be al
lowed to run on.
Mr. Elgin appears also to have laid
himself liable to penalties under the
territorial law. He made a charge for
coffee, -four and sugar, and the sale of
these was made without a merchandise
license, which is a violation of the laws
of the Territory of Hawaii. Worse
then this, also, Mr.. Elgin is accused of
running a blind pig, and has laid him
self liable to arrest by the territorial
authorities on the charge of selling liq-
uor without a license.
Altogether. the hospitable resident OF
Mahukona has got himself into pref
ty bad fix. and it is liable to cost
him good deal more than $17.S5 to
get out of it.
Full particulars as to the nature of
Mr.. Elgin's offense against the laws
of the United States were sent last
night by Collector Drake to Deputy
Collector Walter Doyle, who is now at
Hilo, and Mr. Doyle may drop in in
a day or two to see Mr.. Elgin and
ask him what he is going to do about
it. If Mr.. Elgin charges Mr.. Doyle for
entertainment while he is at Mahukona
the United States government will pay
the bill.

The seventeen dollars and eighty-fve
cents worth of hospitality so generous
" rendered the Congressional party by
r. r, Elgin of Mahukona is liable TO
prove losing venture for the gentle
man. 1t has brought him into trouble
with the government of the United
States and may result in his arrest by
the United States Marshal on charge
of selling liquor without an Internal
Revenue license The minimum punish
ment for that offense is 500 fine and
six months in Jail.
Mr.. Elgin, however, is to be given
a chance to square himself with Uncle
Sam before any drastic measures are
resorted to. Collector of Internal Reve-
nue. Walter F. Drake stated yesterday
morning that he would send notice to
Mr. EIgin to pay the Internal Revenue
tax for selling liquor, on pain in the
event of his refusal, of arrest by the
Federal authorities. The license tax
viii cost him about $37.
But this is not all. for Mr.. Elgin
has already violated the law in that
he sold booze to the members of the
Congressional party and made charge
for it, which has been paid. He will
have to square that matter with Uncle
Sam, too. If he is good and comes to
time, he may esears arrest by making
an offer of compromise TO the Collector
of Internal Revenue. The amount which
he will have to pay in lieu of fine
is optional with the collector, but in
view of the gravity and aggravated
mature of the offense, it is probable

GOVERNOR ASKED FOR
MATRIMONIAL ADVICE

Governor Frear in his official posi-
ton is called upon for nearly all sorts
of information and advice, but the
limit was reached yesterday in letter
he received on the Alameda mail. A
woman in Brooklyn wrote to him to
get some information concerning the
man with whom she is in love. She
knows that she loves him, all right,
but she is in doubt as to whether or
not it is safe for her to marry him.
She wants to be sure first that he has
been divorced from his former wife,
and she asks the Governor to look the
matter up and tell her. She also wants
70 know how many children her chosen
one has left in the Paradise of the
Pacific
The man about whom the inquiries
are made is a Hawaiian who formerly
lived in Honolulu but who left here

Disaster.

A principle in salvage cases has been
laid down by the judge of the Appellate
Court who reviewed the case of the
owners of the cable steamship Restorer
against the Pacific Mail company, for
saving the steamship Manchuia which
went on the rocks at Waimanalo Bay,
which may have far-reaching effect
in future cases. The judge severely
criticized mariners VINO stand off while
vessel in distress is going to ruin.
His decision in this case was as fol-
lows:
A salvor, said the court in the case
of The Howard, II Fed. Cas-. 630-633,
who, regardless of personal considera-
tions, CALAMITY rushes into dangers to
preserve the lives and property of
Others, when exposed to the horrors of
shipwreck, or he who promptly goes
forward and contributes his aid when
he believes his services will be benef-
cial in preventing impending loss, with
out stopping to inquire what amount
in dollars and cents his exertions will
bring to his own pocket, will always
receive that liberal reward for his SER
vices which it is the policy of the law
to allow, and which courts feel pleasure
in awarding to generous and manly
conduct; while he who holds back and
quietly looks ON at approaching ruin
until his own services become indis-
pensable to the preservation of the prop
erty he sees exposed with the expecta-
tion that his reward will thereby be
increased in proportion to the increased
ha ye
ultimately rescued, will find that he is
disappointed in the realization of his
golden hopes, and that display of
avarice at such a time renders him an
object of contumely and reproach.''

ness and attached a ball and chain to
an ankle so early in life. This, how
ever, did not prevent him from seeking
the society of attractive girls as did
other men. The only difference, Mac
Nish told himself, was that he kept
his head and regarded them with mere
philosophic liking.
1t was a great relief not to be eter-
nally falling in and out Of love. The
reason he had sought the society Of
Daisy Alcock so much and so long
seemed to have common sense and to
be willing to take the calm friendship
he offered and not expect it to develop
into s~entimentality as many girls, he
was annoyed to say, did. He liked her
and he felt that she liked him and
that was all there was to it.
Therefore he could not understand
rebellion at the idea of Randolph Mar
cy, who was remarkably fascinating to
girls with his gay laugh and graceful
devotedness, Is an acquaintance of
Daisy Alcock's. MacNish prided him
self on being far beyond the foolish
stage where he thought a mans good
looks counted. All sensible people, he
felt, realized the charm Of a rough
hewn face and a jaw hat threatened
achievements. MacNish had that kind
Of face and jaw.
He told himself that he had no use
for a young oma who judged a man
by his profile and could not look be-
low the surface. Yet, though unac-
k%nowledged, he dimly realized that,
running neck and neck with Randolph
Marcy, he did not count for much with
the average girl. Thus far he had
eve cared. Not being a marrying
man, why should he mourn over the
fact that he was not a social favorite.

THE HAMLET BY THE SEA.

There is a little seaport town.
Whence long ago a feet OF ships
Sped, white and gay, beyond where
dips
The dim horizon down and down.
Old men sit on the pier and gaze,
With pipe in mouth and dull surmise,
And whisper 'thwart their blear-eyeo
haze:.
"Say! don't you see the sails upr1se!.
Mothers that maids were, also walt
Tie greet the vessels glad return.
Yet vainly shall they watch and
yearn;
No tide brings ships, or tells their tate
Yet does the little port keep bright,
Having an atmosphere of pride
That such fair craft from it took flight.
The caiY-o'Artopping waves to d
My heart, you are the little place
Close by the sea; your hopes, the
fleet
That sailed forth to your buoyant
beat,
Homeward it's course no more to trace.
Sometimes you fret, then grow content
To dream Of those enchanted things,
Which to the gray. drear past have lent
The spotless splendor of their wings!

CHAPTER v1.--(continued.)

La
Tie did not dare communicate this
story even to his sister; for If She
knew nothing he feared to poison her
existence by telling her, and IL size
knew all he had not the courage TO
listen to the sequel. Perhaps no other
experience in life produces o more pro-
found shock than a discovery like that
upon which David had so suddenly
stumbled. 1t leads to despair or to
melancholy, and many a life OF high
est promise has been suddenly wreck
ed by 1t. While he brooded over this
mystery the days slipped past the
young mystic almost unnoted; he wan
dered about the farm, passing from
one ut of abstraction into another, DO
ing nothing, saying nothing, thinking
everything.
He tried to look forward to the fu-
ture with hope. But how can a man
hope for harvcsts, when all his seed
corn has been destroyed? If his faith
er was bad. what hope was there that
he could be better?
Ee made innumerable resolves to
take up the duties Of life where he had
laid them down, but they were all liz
birds which die in the nest where they
are born.
Pepeeta was drawing him irresisti-
bly, to herself; he was like a man in
the outer circle of a vortex, of which
she waa the center. The touch of her
soft hand which he could still feel, the
farewell glance of eyes which still
glowed before his Imagination, at
tracted him like a powerful magnet.
1t was true that he did not know
where she was; but he felt that he
could find her In the uttermost parts
Of the earth by yielding himself to the
impulse which had awakened in his
heart.
"A dark veil of mystery hangs over
my past. My present is full of misery
and unrest. I will see if the future
has any joys in store for me-" he said
to himself at the close OF one OF his
restless days.
Without SO much as a word OF fare
well, he crept out OF the GUS in tho
gathering dusk. n started in pursuit
of the bright object that floated like a
will-o' -the-wis before his inner eye.
A feeling of exultation and relief
seized him as he left the place made
dark n dreadful by the emo of
that tragic scene through which he
had SO recently passed; the quiet of
the evening soothed his perturbed spir-
its, and the tranquil stars ooked down
upon him with eyes that twinkled as
II in sympathy.
