The current issue of the Engineer

much attention. us the result Of an
article By Mr.. 8. II. Brockunier, OF
Wheeling. who discusses the recent
State mining Institute. The article
follows:
| Having Just returned from the SUM
1ner meeting OF the Coal Mining In
stitute OF West Virginia at Elkias. 1t
has occurred to me that the impress.
slons of that meeting from the view
| point OF an Independent engineer, not
affiliated with any company or corpo-
ration might be interesting to your
readers. The meeting was successful
in every way; the time OF year. the
country. the clean-cnt men. and the
papers submitted combined to make 1t
a most enjoyable occasion.
The most striking feature to the out.
side public was the maturity OF the
young men present, and one had but
to listen to their papers, and more
especially to their answers daring the
discussions ensuing to understand
why such tremendous interests lad
been entrusted to them; alert, earnest.
capable, IT was a pleasure to hear
them. gllIg,sf .s5.
To illustrate what young captains
or industry" we nave in this State, 1t
Is said thnt the Oldest professional
man upon The splendid crops OF the
Fuirmont Coal Company is only 25,
and that most of them are under 30.
These men were not loilging the Is
sue OF mine accidents or greater safety
In their mines. 1t was plain to be seen
That 1t was n living. vital question TO-
them, and that they were seeking
light and help from every conceivable
source; also that they intended and
were facing the situation with that
nianliness, courage and skill winch
will win out in the long run. til evil
dent that the mining companies are
placing their interests in competent
hands and that MS the years so by.
these hands and brains will accom-
llsh greater results as they gain that
maturity of judgment, which can cnlne
only with maturity OF experience.
Tine State Of West Virginia is
sd,inrcly facing her responsibilities.

cd that he WAS putting the question
OF proper inspection and competent
inspectors up to the chief mine In
spector. go. ~
Apparently this position Of the Gov
ernor will give Mr.. Laing the oppor-
t,iinity that has been denied his prcdc-
cessor. He has started well by in
slsting upon the examination of pros
pectiye inspectors. and II he Will see
to it that these examinations are falr
and sincere. and If ne will divorce
politics from the mining department.
we shall hear in future quite DIFF
ferent story from his Office. We wish
him every success, and admire the
bold stand he has already taken; we
hone that the executive anu lesisla'
tive branches OF the State government
will work with him. and we are con-
WINGED that II they do, they Will find
tho operators fair and reasonable and
anxious to safeguard the mutual inter-
ests OF State and owners.

BURGLAR

Another daring burglary took place
between the hours of and 10 O'Clock
last evening in a popular residence
section of the city. The victim was
Thomas A. Birmingham, travelling
salesman for e. o. Hall & Son, living
at the corner of Lunalilo and Piikoi
ST. eets, Makiki, opposite the residence
burglars got away with two valuable
gold rings, a gold pin, $13 in cash
and other trinkets of considerable va
lue.
Mr. and Mrs. Birmingham had left
their residence at o'clock to visit
some neighbors. Upon their return at
10 o'clock they found the front door
open. and on going into the house
found that it had been about as COM
pletely ransacked as one could wish
for. The articles mentioned were at
cnce missed Mr.. Birmingham com
nunicated promptly with the police
aud Detective Kalakiela at once took
up the case. He found that entrance

through a window, the ladder hav-
ing been left standing. When the bur-
glar left he unlocked and came out
Of front door.
Absolutely no clue was left behind
by the marauder, except the general
enc above noted. Detective Kalakieia
called all of his specials at once to the
district and set them on guard, with
instructions to watch all suspicious
characters seen around there. Each
special was given list OF names on
the detectives suspect list, with in
slructions to arrest any of them four
cut that way. Guard was kept until
6 o'clock this morning, without sue
cess however, in discovering new or
further information. The department
is exerting every effort to locate the
guilty party or parties, and in the ef-
fort all the names on the suspect roll
are being investigated.

Makekau's minority report of the

1t carried an amendment whereby the
approval of the Mayor is required be-

When the bill came up for action Sen
ator Chillingworth secured delay un-
til the afternoon for the purpose of
having members supplied with copies
of the minority report. 1t was said
in Senate precincts that eight mem
Eers were ready to carry the minority
report. Some members consider it
would be useless to pass the bill if
amended as proposed, as it would then
only serve to prolong the municipal
deadlock. The Mayor might use 1t to

Thomas Lindsay, the jeweller, who
was run over in yesterdays road ac-
cident and so badly injured, died in
the Queens hospital about II o'clock
hits morning of his injuries. He had
been in feeble health for some time,
and the shock he received yesterday
was to much for his weakened consti-
tuition. The funeral will take place
from the undertaking parlors of H. H.
Williams at o'clock tomorrow after
noon.
Mr.. Lindsay was born in Edinburgh,
Scotland, about 81 years ago. He
learned the jewelry business there and
when quite young emigrated to the
United States and worked in New
York city. Later he went to San
Francisco and opened business of his
own. From there he came to Homo
lulu in 1873 or 1879 and opened jew
elry store at Hotel and Union streets.

Ruel Kinney gets the medal for the
most startling bill introduced in the
House today. He would provide for
a raise in the salaries of the Super
visors of the City and County of Ro-
nolulu, a raise of fifty per cent, from
5000 per year to 5000 per year, from
$50 per month to $75 per month. He
gives a schedule for City and County
officers, payable monthly, but the Sup
ervisors, probably because they are the
poorest paid of all public servants, get
the benefit of a considerable boost in
the Honorable Kinneys proposed act
There were some interesting reports
today. The health committee finds
that the roof of the Kapiolani Girls
school in Kalihi leaks and recommends
that the girls be protected from the
weather and that the Legislature ap-
propriate accordingly. The Salvation
Army is recognized as a cosmopolitan
benefit and recommended for substan-
tial assistance.

highest terms of his employer and the
treatment he had received at the soap

his home where he has rested easy

benefit.

lie briefly stated as follows: The use
o. the left arm is entirely despaired
Of. Feeling in the left leg is slowly
returning, and he is able to move the
member slightly. 1t Is impossible for
! him to move about, even in bed. He
seems cheerful most times, however, in
