stars. The upper eastern side of
the square is formed by three
stars of almost equal brightness.
The central star of the tail of the
kite, if examined closely with the
naked eye, is seen to be slightly
different from the others. 1t
looks a little fuzzy and not like
the brilliant sharp point of light
that distinguish the other stars.
When examined with a good field
glass, or even an ordinary opera
glass, this fuzziness is seen to be
a whitish glow, which grows IN
extent and beauty with added in
strumeutal power, until a long
exposure photograph reveals it as
a wonderful mass of luminous
matter full of beautiful cloudlike
structure, the whole forming one
gigantic nebula, wonderful be-
yond compare. In the midst of
this mass of billowy brightness
are located four or five tiny stars.
The spectroscope tells us that
this great'nebula is a mass of |
glowing gases, composed princi-
pally of hydrogen. and an un-
known substance which for want |
of a better name we call nebu-
lum. Certain observations indi-
cate that these stars are encased
in this nebulus mass and are be-
ing slowly formed from it, and
that we see here the process by
which suns and stars are built
from the parent nebula. Ohio

First Letter Carriers.

It is not clear that the letter car
riers were regularly employed before
1853, when tradition tells us that
Benjamin Franklin, the new post
master general, employed them in
Philadelphia and possibly in New
York. The earliest evidence we
have is of 1902, when the Philadel-
phia postmaster advertised that his
''boy' had run away and that pa
irons must call for their letters at
the postolIice. The Postal Journal
of Hugh tinlay tells US that Boston
had No letter carrier in 1878. Of
New York he says that ''soon after
the arrival of mail the letters are
quickly delivered by a runner"
which means messenger or letter
carrier.

to be reduced below the standard
set in the business world.

The notoriously inefficient man,
agement of the Committee on
Military Affairs Of the House has
been impressed on that body by
Hon. Clarence B. Miller of Min
nesota. Hearings of the great
est Importance have been held by
that committee for the past six
weeks, covering the items which
will be included in the next army
appropriation bill. Not a word
of those hearings has as yet ap-
peared in print for the use of
congressman. They are now an
unintelligible mass of unindexed
galley proofs. Congressman
Miller declares that apparently
the clerks, appointed by the Dem
ocratic chairman of fthe commit
tee, are derelict in not having
the hearings printed from day to
day. why not discharge the
clerks and get somebody else?"
pointedly inquired Mr.. Miller.
The House, however, voted to
hire a special assistant to collect
and index the hearings.

Political Gossip from
Washington.

Washington, Jan. 20. Especial
Correspondence. A scathing de-
nurciation of the public buildings
bill now under consideration in
the House has been delivered by
Hon. Frederick H. Gillett Of Mas
sachusetts. Mr.. Gillett handles
the matter without gloves, and
does not hesitate to say that the
bill was prepared simply and
solely to assist Democratic con-
gressmen in maintaining them
selves in the good graces of their
constituents. "We all know this
bill is not brought in here" de-
clares MIR. Gillett, ito improve
the postofice efficiency. It is
brought in largely to improve
congressional fences. 1t was
prepared for the private interest
of congressman" Representa-
tive Gillett claims that if the
House should cut from the bill all
items for small towns and vii
lagos it would be sure to lose a
vote for every item dropped, un-
til at last there would not be en-
ough support for the meritorious
features which it contains to pass
the bill"

HAWAII LABORERS
COME TO HONOLULU
TO SPEND BONUSES

,Plentifully supplied with bonus
money, about one hundred and fifty
Filipino and Portuguese laborers ar
rived yesterday morning on the Mauna
Kea from the plantations of the Big
Island. While most of these are on
what they term their vacation, merely
seeking a means of spending their
snperfuOus cash, many passed the day
in visiting the various steamer agencies
in an endeavOr to engage passage to
the mainland, where they have been
led to believe fortunes are awaiting
them.
1t was impossible to accommodate all
of them in the Storage and many of
the overflow had to be given cabin ac-
comm odations. 1t is thought that most
Of them will have spent their bonus
money by next Saturday when they will
be ready to return to the Hawaii plan
tatiOns by the Mauna Kea sailing that
afternoon. 1t is also thought that
many who would otherwise have gone

"Nearly all the prominent business

The petitions which are being cir:

son the fact that it would hurt him
in q business way. Only one STATED
that he objected to prohibition ant
would not sign for that reason, Will,

SERVANTS QUARTERS
AND GARAGES burn

Fire broke out last night in the ser.
wants quarters at the residence Of
John l.. Fleming, corner Liliha aud
Wylle Streets, and in addition to COM
pletly destroying that building, burned
down garage in which was a Ford
machine belonging to Mr.. Fleming, to-
gether with an adjacent garage own
ed by DIR. +. l.. MOrong. r.,
The call was received at the FIRE de-
partment at nine clock, and when
the engines arrived on the scene a few
minutes later the buildings were too
far gone to permit of their being saved.
Fire Chief G. ii. Thurston subsc-
quently learned that the Flames had
made considerable Roadway before the
alarm was given.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but ii is believed that it commenced
with the over-turning Of kerosene
oil lamp in the quarters occupied by
the japanese servants. The only per
son at home when the fire started was
the japanese woman, and she, at the
time, was having bath. Seeing the
Flames she rushed, quite nude into the
street calling for help.
Mr., Fleming is at the present time
visiting in San Francisco, and Mrs
Fleming was last night calling on
friends. She had gone out in the big
machine, which was fortunate, IFS had
it been in the garage it would undouht
eddy have gone up with the Ford IN
smoke. There was no machine in DIR
Morong's garage at the time.
According to Fire Chief Thurstor
the buildings were all frail wooder
structures, and the loss, beyond thu
Ford car, is not thought to be great
1t is not known whether the building
and the machine were covered by in
| suTance.
Beyond Il gold watch and chain
which was found by fireman afte
the fire had been extinguishod, nothing
