D." had his doubts about the fairies.
This is fashionable, and scientific"
The ten.a-penpy British scientists Of
today brush aside With contempt all
belief in an unseen world. If they are
reminded that belief in the fairies ex-
lists in every land on the globe, they
only exclaim Superstition" And yet,
perhaps, after all, cocksure though
they are, these scientists, they may not
Strange things are happening in our
day. Mr.. w. T. Stead, the editor of
one of London's ablest magazines, de-
clares solemnly that he is in daily in
tercourse with his son, who died
twelve months ago. That is more as
tcnishing even than the fairies. AID
last year the New ireland Review pub
lished very remarkable story about
the appearance of foxes on the eve Of
the death of any member of the Pres
ton family, an ancient Irish Catholic
family. The latest event of the kind
was quite recent, and the foxes we're
there without fail. The evidence of
Lieutenant Preston was beyond ques-
ton. Now, if these things are true,
why should the lrprechaun be so I'M
possible?
| Anglicization has helped largely to
kill belief in the fairies in Ireland.
The little smattcring of science that
the Englishman acquired was destruc-
tive of his belief in anything less sub
stantial than iron. coal, or beefsteak.
But deeper scientific study is having
it's due effect upon the Englishman's
mind, and we have scientists like Sir
Oliver Lodge proclaiming that the
space above the earth is thousand
times more solid than granite. And Sir
William Crooke--who, like Sir Oliver,
would probably laugh at the Tipperary
leprechaun-telling us that he saw a
spirit photographed-the spirit of a
girl who died over 100 years ago! He
even tells us he saw the spirit girl
take one of his children on her lap
and amuse the child with stories!

who stared when one spoke Of "the
banshee's lonely Groom" We should
never try to argue with our friend
John on the point. There is nothing in
his mental outfit that one could appeal
to on the subject. You might as we'll

The scoffers in Ireland should cross
the Shannon and listen to the old folks
telling Of the fairy bush, the haunted

very air in Connaught before which &C

only veneer laid on by British hands;
beneath it is the infinite spiritual pos

THREAT OF
A HOLD UP
REPORT THAT SENATE WOULD
FORCE HOUSE TO PASS LIQUOR
BILL.

The word has been passed in that
mysterious manner in which such
things become unofcially known, that
the Senate flatters itself that it holds
a whip over the House in the matter Of
the liquor bill which this morning was
of Representatives.
This whip is the immigration taxa
tion measure, the bin of the admins
tration, now in the Senate, originating
in the House and the word has it that
unless the House passes the liquor bill
as received from the Senate, the Senate
will retaliate by killing the bill which
seeks to raise funds for the immigra-
tion of labor and the conservation OF
natural resources otherwise known as
the administration immigration tax
alton measure.
Members of the House have been in
teryiewed on the rumor of the exist
ence of the state of affairs noted and
have replied that they are aware thta
something of the kind is being at
tempted. but they declare that in the
event of any such compromise pro-
position the House will act independ-
emily and not for moment hearken to
any halfway measure. If the Senate
wants to kill the immigration bill it is
welcome to assassinate it, say House
members, but whatever the attitude of
the Senate in this respect, the House
will do with the Senate liquor bill as
it sees fit.
1T is a hold-up,' asid one Represen-
tative this morning, "and 1t is a fact,
as near as | am informed, that such is
| the intention of certain Senators-to
endeavor to kill the immigration bill
in the event of the House roughly
handling the Senate liquor bill
Il hope that whatever plans in this
| direction may now exist will be sober
ly reconsidered by the Senators who
have advanced the proposition, for any
such hold-up will be of great disadvan-
tage to the efficiency of the work of the
| session The present liquor law is all
right, as far as | can see. | have not
looked over the Senate liquor bill as
it passed the Senate, but it has to be
radically different from the bill as
originally introduced to meet with any
favor in the House, and as far as the
threatened hod-up is concerned, all
can say is let them try it if they wan
to and answer to the people whose
servants they are

TITIoN-DIRECT CONNECTION WITH HLo PROBABLE

From the present indications it will
only be a few months before the local
wireless telegraph company will be
face to face with opposition of the most
strenuous character At present there
is a representative of the United Wire
less Company in this city looking over
the ground and incidentally getting
number of local capitalists interested
in his plans. Just what will be done
cannot be learned but a thorough in
Yestigation of the conditions which
exist here will be made before any de-
finite statement is given out and then
the news must come from the New
York office of the United Wireless
Company.
That the United Wireless Company
will be in position to come very near
to controlling the situation is without
question, though the entrance of the
company in the local field may take
place through the purchase of a con-
trolling interest in the stock of the
local concern. The vessels which call
at this port and which are kept in
touch by wireless are all equipped with
the De Forrest system, under which the
United Wireless Company works and
the ship operators are employees OF
the United Company. Should there be

The Senate Liquor Bill is in the

morning, and, as a matter of parlia-
mentary form, passing first reading by
title. 1t will be referred to committee
on second reading and eventually, it is
though it is not the radical measure it
was when born in the Senate.
An odd incident of the morning ses-
sion of the House today was the intro
duction by Kealawaa of resolution
which, though queerly wOrded, seeks
to allow the Queen $35, 600 additional
for the period ending next June, to
properly maintain her claim at Wash
ington for recompense from the United
States for the loss of royal holdings.
AS, it is claimed, any such measure
here would injure her chances at Wash
ington, the resolution is likely to be
suppressed in committee.

for the appointment of license inspec-
tors, one for each county, at 800 per

would nave high card in its hand
from this fact, which would mean that
communication with ships at sea could
only be had through the medium of

another strong card in the hands Of
the United Wireless Company would
be the fact that Arthur A. Isbell, the
expert who erected the big station at
Kahuku, which is said to be one of
the best in the world of its class, is
connected with that concern and would
be just the man to install plant here,
with knowledge of local conditions
probably better than that of anyone
else in the business in this city or
outside. He is at present located in
New Orleans in charge of the work of
the United Wireless Company for the
entire southern section of the United
States, Central and South America,
and is erecting stations for his con-

sections of the South American coast

the outside world except by steamers.

ment was deferred in the House.
Consideration of Coney's bill to com
pei the payment of sewer rates was
put off till Monday, on Rice's motion.
Consideration was also deferred on
the bill introduced Nv the education
committee of the House which provides
for the appointment Of education COM
missioners. Sheldon drew attention to
the fact that the bill was such that
quorum of the commission would place
all the power in the hands of Oahu,
and Rice gallantly declared that he
wanted to be sure Kauai, as well as
other islands got a fair deal, i'm this
matter, and he showed that he had
secured data on Kauai education, and
he asked for the presentation by the
education committee of data in regard
to the expenses and systems on other
islands, so that a fair understanding
might be had and a rational COMPARE
son made, for if all islands were not to
be properly represented in the educa-
tion commission, the school system
might better be turned over to the
counties, though he doesn't want to
see this. All he wants is fair play.
