INPRES5IONSTS IN THE ROUGH.

The Pavement Artists Competition, which
was a most notable feature recently ut the
show at Fun City, Olympia, was u conspicu-
GUS success. 1t attracted a big crowd, and
the three quarters Of an hour time-limit
added greatly to the excitement Of the event.
London's most famous opponents of the
art Of pavement decoration put forth their
best efforts, for merit was to be recognized
by a suitable reward in cash. Albert
Simpson, Of Yarmouth, who acquired the
rubin ents as Il distemper painter, Arthur
Harris, otherwise known as "Pigeon Boy
BY reason Of his skill in presenting the
shoeny plumnge of that bird, jim Hodge, Of
Noting Hill, once a mere house decorator,
and Lonely Jack whose filets Of salmon
done in chalk are far-fnmed masterpieces of
still life work-alI these honoured the oc-
casion by their presence. One lady artist
had entered, Mrs. Coleman, whose medium
is ~bathbrick, the effects appearing more
brilliantly on cardboard than on paving
stones. Her landscape with two swans won
the first prize, Arthur Harris won second
with an evening landscape containing Il yell
low butterfly and a cuckoo, and Simpson,
Hodge, and sLonely Jnck" were all ''out of
the running But | am glad to add that il
complete salmon by the last-named artist

a consolation prize.-Daj1y NaiI. da1a. 2.

WOMAN M.P.'S IMPRESSION.

A slender little lady, with hair Of reddish
gold piled on the top of her head, smiling
blue eyes, and a musical voice. Such is the
impression conveyed of the appearance of
DR. Thekla Hultin, a member Of the Finnish
Diet, and the first woman Nj. 2. to visit
London.
Dr.. HultIn and her friend Nine. Aino
Malmberg, the translator of Mr.. Rudyard
kipIing's works into Finnish, have come
from their own country-Where since 1905
all women, married and single, over the age
of twenty four, have votes-to give a help
ing hand to then sisters IN Bri aein who are
struggling for the same enf52nchisoInent
DR., Hultin said in an interview" I

E~nglishwomen charming. &c like the indie

about the militant methods of theBritiyh

The twenty six women NJ. P.s OF Finland
who include noblewomen, Government ser
wants, teachers, authors, journalists, and
one domestic servant-are, DR.. Hultin stated,
very popular in the Diet. Twelve of her
colleagues in the Diet are wives, and in
three cases they sit side by side with their
husbands, who are also members.
"Nho looks after the babies?" The wo-

pastor in turn-has at Halifax been SEN
fenced to twelve months hard labour for
obtaining his living by dishonest means.
Prisoner visited Halifax and represented
himself to be the Rev. Duncan Mcneil,
NJ. A, a missioner in connection with the
Christian Socialist Church, which was being
opened in the town. He had some print
ing do ne for which he did not pay.
The aim of the mission was set forth to
be to 'ad vocate the noblest moral and in
tellectual cone options which the history Of
humanity affords" Gifts Of old clothing
were solicited by means of small cards.
FREE MEALS FOR THE POOR.
Prisoner stated on setting up his quarters
that he was seer tary Of the International
Christian Brotherhood in Leeds, and that
the Rev. r. J. Campbell was at the head
Of the movement. IN furnishing the room
he told tradesmen he was removing the
branch from Leeds to Halifax, ana persons
ut Leeds would be responsible for the pay
ment for the goods-which included a
cotfee-pot. This he pawned, stating he
wished to raise money to send a telegram
to headquarters at Leeds, and that he
should redeem the pledge. He also OBJ
tanned an organ.
He ordered e. worth of confectionery at a
shop in order that he might provide free
meals for children, the confectionery to be
delivered on Christmas Day. 1t turned out
that prisoner had no money.
A list of convictions showed that he had
been committed to twenty-five years penal
sorvitude and police supervision, After he
had been in prison he was for several months
pastor Of a church in the suburbs Of Lon
don, but was called upon to resign. He

January. Messrs. LIGHT now estimate the
beet output from Germany and Russia to be
some 80, 900 tons less than was at first anti
clpated, while from other countries, it is be-
lIeved the expectation will be nearly 40 g0
tons greater. The falling off on the whdo
European beet crop is expected to be only
about 10000 tons, which is q little less than
one per cent. Canada is paying a higher
price Tor su39r than New York, but this was
also the case last year. The Dominion will,
however, be Influenced by the American
market. The consumption Of sugar in the
United States increased during 1908 by about
6 2L5 per cent. That country bought nearly
100000 tons from places hat are not her
dependents, because the Cuban crop was
short, but since that island hopes to produce
we'll over 100000 tons III excess Of her out
put for last year, it IS evident that the New
York Market will not require much sugar
from foreign ports during this year.
Local confidence in the sugar industry of
the island is Just now stronger than it has
been for many years. IN the early part Of
1905, when there was a boom in the market,
In consequence of the extraordinary short
age OF the beet crop, many estates were sold
that had been n long time III the Court Of
Chancery but there was not even then the

and the purchaser in each case has been a
capitalist and one who understands all about
the sugar industry. Haynes Field in St,

A YI5IroR NACLED BY A LIoN. So
"a By-stander' sends the following ac~
count of an incident on Saturday,
The lions and tigers were enjoying the
fine bright-weather out Of doors, when a
man, who ought to have known better,
stretched over the low iron railing, at two
or three feet distance from the cage, to give
one OF the lions a piece Of broad. The latter
promptly seized the nuns arm, and between
the efforts Of the lion to retain his hold and
the mans effort to get loose, lhe am itself
was bitten and mau.ed, so tl9t IA, had to be

the different cages ana the spectators were
much excited.
OF course it was alto9ethor the mans own
fault for putting himself within the lions
reach and tempting him with food, but this
could not have happened had the outer iron
rails been high enough CT further away from
the hons cage itself. The keepers did their
best, and it was o pure accident; but all the
same, where so many visitors, including
children, go, measures should be taken to
prevent its occurring again.
The Secretary of the Society, writing OH
Monday, says -

mined child, bent on suicide, there is NO

the accident took place. The barrier is near

and between it and the brick foundation on
which the lions cages rest there is a thick
hedge. The man who was injured on Sun
day had climbed oD the lower rung of the
barrier, and leaned over, stretching out his
arm to a young lion, withdrawing it aud
thrusting it out again, until eventually the
lion was too quick for him. | was glad to

We shall consider the advisability Of re-
placing the existing barrier by one composed

and right to take every precaution against
the rashness Of children, it may be doubted

Queen ARRIVES
ON THE SIBERIA

Queen Liliuokalani was an incom-
ing passenger on the Siberia today.
As soon as the ship made fast at the
wharf the Queens private secretary,
who was waiting on the dock with
an automobile, rushed aboard, and n
few minutes later. decked with leis,
Liliuokalani was escorted down the
gangway to the waiting machine.
During the brief time between the
docking of the ship and the time she
went ashore, the Queen was careful
ly screened from the inqulsitive
throng that crowded about her. She
was assisted to the dock by her sec
rotary and an officer of the ship, and
seemed very feeble, ...... ...r
Despite the fact that perfect wea-
Their was enjoyed all the way across
the Pacific, the Queen kept to her
stateroom nearly the entire time, and
was seen but little by the other pas
sengers on board.
The Siberia, made the run In five
days and seven hours. There was
not a single bad day on the trip, and
( passengers were on deck continuous
ily. Each day was bright and the
water was as smooth as that of the

The Siberia brought six days mail
-450 sacks-and $50 tons Of freight
for this port. She had full passen-
ger list. a goodly proportion of the
travellers being tourists headed for
this port. She will continue heI

STRIKING THE CHILDREN AGAIN.

The men who believe that public
school education does not promote
the habits of industry among the
youth of the land should give some
of their undivided attention TO the
hayward solons of the House of Rep
rc5entatives. who in the midst of an
citation for better education adapt
ed TO the industries of the Territory
have very foolishly cut out the item
fOr industrial training in the public
schools.
Each year the intelligent people of
Hawaii are becoming convinced of the
need for better agricultural training
among the children in the schools.
Hawaii is not alone in this. One
of the last and most important acts
of President Roosevelt previous to
giving up the duties of Office was to
appoint commission to investigate
the farm life of the country. Among
the immediate needs pointed out by
the Commission was the following:
Second, new kind of school in the
country, which shall teach the chill.
dren as much outdoors as indoors, SC
that they will prepare for country
life instead Of as now, for life in
town.
The President in his special mes
sage to Congress delivered himself az
follows:
There must be not only fuller
scheme of public education, hut
new kind of education adapted
to the real needs of the farming
people.
THE COUNTRY SCHOOLS ARE
TO BE so REDIRECTED THAT
THEY SHALL EDUCATE THEIR
PUPILS IN TERMS OF THE
DAILY LIFE. Opportunities for
training toward the agricultural
callings are to be multiplied and
made broadly effective,
This means redoubled efforts
for better country schools, and a
vastly increased interest in the
welfare of country boys and girls
on the part of those who pay
the school taxes. Education by
means of agriculture is to be
part of our regular public
school work. Special agriculture
al schools are to be organized.
In the face of this will the people
OF the Territory Of Hawaii allow thei

MURDER PROBABLE

LIHUE, Kauai, March q. go The |
body of a Korean laborer from Hale
haka camp was found near the side
of the road a half-mile beyond Hama

with indications pointing strongly TO
the presumption that murder had
been committed
The remains were those of man
about thirty years old, who went by
the name of Sin Meung Soon. He
was very tall man. being six feet
ten inches in height, and was prob
ably the tallest man in this district.
The gruesome discovery was made
by two Portuguese boys who started
to cut some grass for their animals
at home, on the small hillside Just
mauka of the County road where
there is a grove of ironwood trees
A strong odor assailed their nostrils
and on going further down to dis
cover the cause, they found the par
TALLY decomposed body of the Ko-
rean, n short distance from the road,
lying in a ditch, with his face turned
toward the ground, under the iron
wood trees.
The boys Immediately sent word
to Lihue and notified Sheriff Rice,
who came right over and impaneled
a coroner's jury, and post-mortem
examination was held Of the remains.
The body had evidently been lying
there for about n week. IL was inn
possible to find any traces of violence
on IL except one severe br,iise on the
base Of the back of the head. This
was evidently what caused the mans
death, for at the inquest II was
found that the skull was fractured.
The blow had been given with a
blunt stone or wooden club.
Nothing is known as yet as to who
committed the murder. but the po-
lice are working on several clues and
II is likely that the guilty parties
will be apprehended before very long
The indications pointed to the prob
ability that more than one man was
implicated In the assault. as the
ground was somewhat trampled In
the vicinity and the body had been
dragged some distance.
II Is reported that the last time
the victim was seen was on Wednes-
day, March 18th, at Kappa, from
which place he started on that day
to return to his quarters at Hale
haka camp, in Lihue. He was rid
ing in japanese hack.
So far as Is known, the deceased
was man OF quiet habits and was
not of a quarrelsome disposition, and
It is difficult to conjecture, at the
present writing, what cause there
could have been for the assault

STATION SITE SIGNED

The new lease covering the site of
the Kalihi Receiving Station was sign.
ed yesterday by Mr.. Samuel Damon,
and will be in the hands of President
Mott-Sm;th of the Board of Health
today.
Under the provision of the lease the
renewal period is for thirty years and
the annual rental for the land is $50
per acre, the same figure that prevailed
in the old lease. While there has been
q general increase in land values in
that vicinity, Mr.. Damon did not care
to increase the rental to be paid by
the Territory for the receiving station
site.
The new lease covers an area of
thirteen acres and provision is also
made that allows for the changing in
the lines of the road made necessary
oy the plans of the Board of Health
~ regard to the location of the new
buildings.
Inc signing of the new lease YES
terday puts final end to a question
that perplexed the Board of Health
since the expiration of the first lease
There were suggestions that the site
of the station be changed, but it was
the sentiment of the Board of Health
and its new president that there was
no valid reason for making a change
