BY yesterdays mail, Principal Wood
of the Normal School received letter
from A. c. Maby, now in New York
city, who was formerly member of
the Normal faculty. Maby is a grad
uate of the Kamehameha Schools and
well known locally. He was manual
training teacher at the Normal and is
now at the Columbia Teachers Col
lege, New York. In his letter he says
in part:
"Dear Mr.. Wood:-Since writing you
last several weeks ago, applied at the
New York Board of Education for a
place in the local schools as manual
training instructor. / had to take an
examination and also prove that l had
taught before. DR.. Russell gave me
letter of recommendation based on your
letter to him and | was finally admitted
and received license to teach a few
days ago Iexpect to begin teaching
next week. If / can conveniently
study at Columbia while / am teaching,
| shall do that, but if it does not work
out well, / will have to carry out my
plans as previously intended later.
notice that the manual training sys-
TEN of the Normal School is much
more practical than the system here
Most of the time here is spent in prac-
tise. The weather here is be-
coming very cold and 1 suppose it will
begin to snow before long. The tenn
perature was down to forty at noon to-
day. / almost freeze now when the
wind blows hard. New York is inter
ested in politics just now, election day
being next Tuesday. The people seem
to be determined to overthrow Tam
many this year and it looks as if they
may do it,.
Cable reports received show that
"the peoples determination doesn t
count much when up against Tammany
Hall s candidate for mayor.
Governor Mitigates Sentence.
Governor Frear yesterday committed
for life imprisonment the sentence of
Fuiihara the Japanese murderer who
nine years ago escaped from the Hilo
Jail while under sentence of death.
When recaptured about four months
ago on Maui, he told story of brib-
ing his iailer to let him go, offering
him 10000. The jailer is now dead.
j. w. Cathcart was the prosecutor who
convicted him and who probably knows
more about the ease than anybody now.
When the man was captured, he car
ried himself like an Indian, an out
laws life in the hills setting his Shout
ders back and working a change in
him. However, he is still unable to
look questioner in the eyes, but talks
with his head hanging down.
Taxes.
The tax Office surprised itself yes
terday The last day before delin-
quency broke records some, and $780,
600, approximately, was added to the
official stronghold. That ten per cent.
addition didn't look good to the peo-
pie who were fortunate enough to own
taxable property, and an international
procession was in front of the collect
ing offices in the judiciary building all
day.
Fat succulent corporations waddled
up to the new special Office and cut
themselves loose from large wads of
currency, and thin, meager Cinnamon
dolefully lined up at the other office
and deposited their few plunks with
Charles Wilder's boys. There were
lines before each of the windows where
the japanese and Chinese, Hawaiians
and Portuguese We're accommodated
that strung themselves down the hall
a goodly bit. Hereafter everybody who
has not seen fit to come up like a
man and help support the government
pays ten per cent. more than his taxes
came to in the first place.
Capitol Notes.
The directors of the Hawaiian His
torcal Society yesterday conferred
with the Governor on the proposition
to turn their valuable historical docu-
ments over to the library A decision
was reached and will be placed before
the society before being made public
The original copy of the House Jour
nal, for the special session, has been
bound and presented to the secretary
of the Territory. The book is not
every large for its size," which, taken
together with the important actions re.
corded in it, is standing compliment
to the lawmakers of Hawaii.
The room back of the senate cham
Der has been fitted up and is now be-
ing occupied by DR.. Victor s. Clark,
director of the census for Hawaii; Al
ford +. Thayer, his assistant, who as
sumed his duties yesterday, and the
staff The gathering of census data
will be directed from here.
