Refuses Lodging.
He stopped at the home Of the woman
at Hauula, and it was there that he re-
eeived an offer for lodgings over night.
That was on Friday, the same after.
noon, but later, during which Fe7reira
had spoken to him near Kahana.
He answered that he would sleep out
Of doors, and again gave notice Of his
intention after his attention was called
to the fact that it was likely to rain.
He then stated that he had slept out
of doors the night before and found It
fine, and would no doubt do SO again.
This is a tangible piece Of evidence
regarding the mans movements, as the
testimony Of the woman is beyond ques-
tion. 1t shows that he was at least one
night in the open previous to the time
when the officers have picked up his
trail.
But it also casts deeper shadow of
mystery upon him. There is no ap-
parent reason why stranger to the
Islands, known to no one; apparently
not even having been guest at the
city hotels, should have gone into what
amounted to hiding before coming into
contact with anyone in the city, sleep
out of doors while dressed in nobby
suit of clothes, drawing-room gloves, an
oyercoat, a Stetson hat and other arti-
cles hardly considered appropriate for
"roughing it" There is no particular
reason why he should have refused a
nights lodgings and preferred again
to sleep in the brush in the face of a
rain storm. Further there is no par
ticular reason why he should have been
found dead and half submerged IN the
waters that break on the beach of La
iewai with a bullet in his head and no
powder marks on his face

whatever part of town these improve
ments were going on property increas-
ed in value. so that it was not long
before every part of The town was
clamoring for such improvements. in
some cases even offering to pay for
them. Today the people Of Kansas
City are enthusiastic over their civic
improvements. and they say that
parks pay.
What has been the case in Kansas
City has also been true in many other
places. After studying this question
for several years l am convinced that
the average town or city is not indif-
ferent to these things. but they simply
don't know how to make a start. If
only a few enthusiastic. public spirited
people will get the matter on their
hearts they will soon find a way.
OF course the best results cannot be
attained in n or two years. 1t takes
time. and the people should not be-
come impatient. I would say to all
towns desiring parks, etc.:
First.-Employ a good architect to make
q plan.
second.-Devise ways and mean to Sc.
cure funds.
T~hird.-Secure land for parks as early
as possible. large tracts on the outskirts
and several small tracts in the thickly
settled neighborhoods.
Fourth.-Go to work systematically II
intelligently to beeutify the grounds.
Fifth.-Don't expect everything to be
to do these things, and no doubt mistakes
Will be made. 1t would be remarkable IL
they We're not. But IL the proper start be
made and honest and interested men are
managing it they can hardly fail to OBJ
tain good results In the end.
In conclusion l would emphasize the
fact that If a town expects to attract
people 1t must make itself attractive.
In this day and time no intelligent
man cares to live in a town lacking in
beauty and health, and the towns that
make the best increases in population
in the next ten or twenty years will
be largely the mes that do most TO
make themselves attractive by civic
improvements.

to Adopt In Securing Parks-Why
Attractiveness Pays.
The old idea of parks was that they
are luxuries and are chiefly for those

beautiful. A city or town that could
afford parks was regarded much in the
same Light as a rich man who pos
sessed in his own home benutiful
paintings, statuary and other works
of art. These were obtained chiefly to
crafty the pride Of the owner or to
crafty the taste of the family and
friends capable of enjoying such things.
Soon it was seen that parks not only
furnished pleasure. but greatly in
creased the health and happiness of
the people and improved the social and
moral conditions of the communities,
says ]. B. Baker in Farm and Ranch.
II could easily demonstrate this fact,
but we have not time here, nor do I
think it necessary, as it is almost self
evident. Granted, then, that parks,
parkings, clean streets and everything
else that goes to make up the City

good reasons and consider for a mo-

Kansas City is a notable example Of
what has been done in the last few
years. Ten or twelve years ago the
people there realized that almost moth

GETTING ON IN RUSSIA.

In RUSSIA the cause of popular rights
is certainly making progress. The tele
graph reports say that the Gar has
been rebuked by the Council of the
Empire, supported by the Duma. The
contest arose over Premier Stolypin IS
proposal to establish the Zemstvo in the
western provinces of the Empire, The
zemstvo is the community council in
old Russia, as near like the New Eng.
land town meeting as an oriental as
semblage can be like any Western pub
lie body. 1t is hard to see why the
Council Of the Empire and the Duma
should be so determinedly opposed to
the establishment of the Zemstvo in
other parts of the Empire than where
it has existed from time immemorial,
Still, no one in America can quite un-
dcrstand the provincial difficulties and
antipathies that exist in the Old World
Prima facie. one would suppose that the
Duma at least would be not only willing
but anxious to have the Zemstvo estab-
lished throughout the Empire. because it
gives the communities primary jurisdic.
tion over their local affairs, and is
community usage that makes for free
dom, so far as it extends.
The fact that both the Council of
the Empire and the Duma were beaten

roguing both bodies, and in the mean.
time by imperial decree sustaining
Stolypin and ESTABLISHING the Zemstvo
where he wanted it, is an apparent
triumph for absolutIsm. which is merely
temporary. For, it is long step to com
pei absolutism to get its way by trick
cry and evasion. The time has been,
and that no long ago. when the autoc-
racy Of Russia would care nothing about
the Council Of the Empire, and when
there was no Duma to interfere; and
the CZar would proceed without refer
ence to any other power, and put forth
such decree as pleased him. Now he
finds it necessary to evade by prorogu-
ing the Council and the Duma and |
puts forth his decree in the vacation of |
their sittiugs.
1t all makes for progress. Russia. in
this phase of her public control, is mere.

have passed in their time; and all the
