STRIKERS COMPLETELY
0VERAWE POLICE FORCE
AND ASSUME CONTROL

For the first time since the steve
dores went out on a strike in Honolu-
ia the police were overawed early
this morning by a threatening mob,
and practically took orders from the
rioters. A mob OF what appeared to
the police 10 be about 1000 men OF
mixed nationalities, heretofore fairly
orderly, felt their power and used 1t
20 get AT strike-breakers on their way
to the docks.
Eye-witnesses. policemen, Sheriff
Rose himself, who saw the surging
crowd this morning say It was one
Of the most alarming situations ever
seen here and some who witnessed
the affair declare that strike-breakers
were badly manhandled by strikers,
in plain view Of policemen, who SEEM
ed powerless to act.
Sheriff Admits Defeat
Sheriff Rose admits that the strik-
ers were too many for his men and
openly confesses that the strikers
won their point for the first time by
intercepting istrike-breakers and re.
fusing TO allow them to work.
Captain Baker, who was in charge
Of about eight men at the docks. says
the mob this morning was a mass Of
gunppwder ready TO be ignited by the
least spark Of friction from an Off.

Hamadan seems to be certainly the

where the first Median king, Deioces,
realized the ideal Of royal isolation by
shutting himself up in palace on top
of hill, surrounded by seven fortified
circles of different .coIors descending
the slopes in order and allowing the In
habitants of these to communicate
with him only by writing. Either this
story is myth or the Ekbatana of

To Calculate Congresses.


To determine the years covered by &
given congress double the number of
the congress and add the product to
1850 The result will be the year in
which the congress closed. Take, for
example, the Thirty fifth congress.
Doubling it gives US seventy; add 1889
and we have 1859, the year in which,
on March 4, the Thirts- fifth congress
closed. To find the number of a con-
gress sitting in any year subtract 1889
from the year. If the result is an even
number half that, number will give the
congress Of which the year in question
saw the close. If the result is an odd
number add one, and half the result
will give the congress in which the
year in question was the first year.
Take, again, the congress sitting in
1858. Subtract 1883 from 1858 and the
result is 'sfxty-nine. Add one, maxim
seventy, and divide by two, showing
that the Thirty first congress was hold
ing its first regular session, in that
year. The year 1889 is the basic num-
Der, because that was the year in
which the First congress under the
constitution convened. = Philadelphia

Eagles Hall Repairs
May Exceed Insurance

Work on the repair of the damage
caused by the recent fire at Eagles
hall is progressing rapidly and it is ex-
pected that the building will be restor-
ed within two weeks. Because of the
numerous changes which must be
made to comply with the building code
it is thought the cost of repairs will
exceed the insurance.
The T. r. Pardy Construction Co
is doing the building repairs and James

work is being rushed in order to have

ironing the TabIecIoth.

A tab1ecloth should be pulled into
shape before being ironed. After it is
pulled into shape, fold it together
1engthwise through the middle, so that
the wrong side will be outside; then
turn back the edges at each side SO that
the cloth is in fourlong folds, each fold
of the same width. The outer folds
will now be right side out. Iron these
two outer fo1dsy then turn them inside
and iron the two inner folds that are
now outside and are the right side Of
the tablecloth When the four folds
are thus finished the long length can
be doubled back and forward the de
sired width, but the crosswise folds
should not be ironed in. Papers can be
placed where the tablec1oth hangs over
on the floor from the ironing board. A
little practice will soon make you per-
feet. The old fashioned way was to
first iron tablecloth on the wrong
side, but the tableclotts coming under
my observation that look the best are
ironed in the manner above described

An IdeaIIsIAnd.

The island of Ascension, in the At
lantie, belonging to Great Britain, is
unique in many respects. There is no
private property in land, no rents, no
taxes and no use for money. The
aocks and herds are public property,
and the meat is issued as ratfons. So
are the vegetables grown on the farms.
When an island fisherman makes a
catch he brings it to. the guardroom
whence it is issued by the sergeant ma
jor. Practically the entire population
are sailors, and they work at most OF
the common trades. The climate is al
most perfect. The island is 8 by g
miles in size and has a population of
about 45o. It is $50 miles northward

In plea for the bobwhite, w. L.
Nelson, Assistant Secretary Of the
Board of Agriculture, states that q
count Of the seed in one birds crop
reveals the presence Of about 10000
pig-weed seed, and bobwhites are
known to eat at least IS kinds of
weed seed. For meat he chooses
among 81 kinds Of beetles, 81 kinds
of bugs, 8 kinds Of grasshoppers. Is
kinds Of caterpillars and a variety of
ants, flies and wasps. One bobwhite
has been known to eat as many as
5000 plant lice in two hours, and he
is fond Of boll-weevils, chinch bugs.
cabbage worms, cucumber beetles,
squash bugs, army worms and Hessian
flies.
And yet there are farmers who are
willing to have all the bobwhites on
their farms killed. Shooting the
hired man would be more logical.
The hired man demands wages. while
the bobwhite works for nothing.
