airy Z, 1927. He was the son of Rev.
Artemus Bishop ,one of the pioneer
missionaries to these Islands. His
father took up his work here in 1922,
and thus DR.. Bishop, in his earliest
surroundings, came closely into touch
with the people among whom he
was to spend the majority of his flu
ture years.
In 1916 DR.. Bishop graduated from
Amherst College with the degree Of
Bachelor of Arts, receiving the de-

II was at Auburn Theological Sem

For nine years from the time of
his ordination, DR.. Bishop was chap

firing from that post in 1862. He
was missionary at Hama until 1865,
when he became principal of Lahai-
naluna Seminary.
In 1877, DR.. Bishop retired from
his work as head of the seminary,
and ten years later he became editor
of The Friend (Honolulu). He edit
ed the paper until 1902, making for

Bertelmann, the stenographer, whose
Office adjOins Sheriff Jarrett's rooms,
states that she has a faint recollec-
tion of seeing dark man pass out
of the front door. The man walked
with his head bent, and, although
Miss Bertelmann thought nothing of
the incident at the time, she is now
sure that It must have been Harris
who passed her.
Sheriff Jarrett, VINO Is confined to
his room with the grip, did not hear
of the escape till after s o'clock at
night. Deputy Sheriff Rose also was
not informed of the affair till 8
O'Clock. He at once drove up to the
Sheriff's house and Informed him of
the matter.
II Is supposed that Harris is in
hiding in the city, and 1t is rumored
that he was seen In the Winston
block last night. The whole avail
able police force is out on his trail,
and 1t is confidently expected that
he will be under lock and key once
more before long.
Harris has an unsavory reputation
and has on two occasions, It is
charged by the police, escaped from
the lookup. He climbed the rear
wall on his two previous attempts ia
obtain liberty, but was quickly re-
captured. He has been wearing a
bandage over his forehead since the
tight on March 5, but according to
Miss Bertelmann the man she saw
had no cloth around his head. The
scars on his forehead and nose arc
still plainly visible. 1t Is thought
that he will lose the use of one eye
through the injury inflicted by Par
ker, who, after being shot, wrested
the revolver from Harris and beat
him over the head with It..
Up till noon no news of Harris
whereabouts had come to hand. The
police are sanguine, however, that
they will soon have the man in Gus,
tOdy.

Not single yolce has been raised
for reduction Of public-school teach
ors' salaries, and those at one time
proposing to tamper with the school
age have changed their minds. Why,
then, should the members of the Leg

topic? They should give the public
schools what they require and cut
the remainder of the Territorial
cloth to TIT what Is left. Even the
City of New York does that, and
Hawaii claims higher standards than

More towns die for want OF conf
dence on the part of business men and
lack of public spirit than any other
cause, says floating editorial. When
man in search of home or busines,
location goes into a town and finds
everything full of hope and enthusiasm
for the prospects of the place and all
earnestly at work to build it up, he
soon becomes imbued with the same
spirit, and, as a result, be drives down
stakes and goes to work with the same
interest. When however, he goes to a
town where everyone expresses doubt
and apprehension for the future pros
perity ef the place, moping about and
indulging in mournful complaints, he
naturally feels that it ID no place for
him, and at once shakes the dust from
his feet while he pulls out with all
possible speed for some other place.
Consequently, try to make q live, en-
terprising town out of the town in
which you live. When you are work
ing for your town you are accomplish
ing all the more for yourself

The Board of Supervisors at its
meeting this week placed Cruger and
Ashton precincts under the contract
system of road working at the earnest
insistence of the residents of those
precincts. At the time Holmes county
wisely decided to abandon the old SLIP
shod method and adopt the contract
system. there was a vigorous protest
from the delta section of the county
and that portion was permitted to con-
tinue in the old way Practical ca
perience of several years has demon
strated the vast superiority of the new
mode over the old and tho majority Of
those who formerly opposed the change
are now its foremost advocates. Cru
ger has in the past been handicapped
in business lines by reason of infelio
roads and the removal Of this obstacle
will greatly rebound to the ber eft of
that enterprising town.

companies doing business in Missis-

very heavy increase according to fig
ures compiled at the Office of insur-
ance Commissioner T. M Henry.
Although the number of companies
operating in the state was considerably
increased during the year, there was
but little increase In the total volume
of business written or renewed, which
was less than $50, 900, 900. There
were IS companies authorized to do
business in the state at the close of
the year. and tho recapitulation show.
ed that they collected premiums on
business written amounting to 20, 800, :
