PRESIDENT SUN IS A HAWIIAN~|
Nowhere was there more surprise than in Honolulu, therefore, when news
came that the leaders of the present revolution, both in the field and in the
council, men of whom Wu-Ting-fang is typical, had recognized Dr. Sun as the
leading spirit in the movement and had chosen him president.
Dr Sun was born in the district of Kula, on the island of Maui, in the
Hawaiian group. His father was one of the early Chinese immigrants to Ha
waii, coming in the early sixties of the last century.
Sun was sent by his mother to Honolulu to be educated, going to lolani
college several years and ultimately embraced Christianity.
COLLEGE HEAD THREE DECADES |
W’lth no particular celebration to
mark the event, the Rev. James D.
Moffat, D. D., LL. D., recently entered
upon the thirty-fourth year of his
presidency of Washington and Jeffer
son college, a record for length of
service and accomplishment which is
equaled by few if any of the college
and university presidents of the Unit
ed States. A man widely known for
his learning and for his business abil
ity, a former moderator of the Pres
byterian church and recognized as
one of the most prominent divines of
the Presbyterian denomination, Dr.
Moffat has ably kept up the standing
of the famous old school here which
in its more than a century of history
has gained a wide reputation as a
classical institution of the highest
order.
Dr. Moffat was born in New Lisbon,
Ohio. After finishing his preparatory
schooling he entered Washington and
Jefferson, graduating with the class
of 1869. In 1873 he was ordained a minister in the Presbyterian church of
Wheeling, W. Va. In January, 1882, he became president of Washington and
Jefferson.
When Dr. Moffat began his work 30 years ago the college had no scien
tific laboratories, no gymnasium, no library, no athletic field, all of which
things it now possesses. The endowment when Dr. Moffat took charge was
less than $200,000. Today the endowment fund is more than $640,000 with
plans well under way for the raising of a $1,000,000 endowment'fund.
BRIDE’S MANY REGAL GIFTS |
The splendor of the bridal gifts amazed Washington society. Chief among
the jewels presented by the groom is a long string of pearls, the most beau
tiful collection which Washington society has been permitted to view, pur
chased from a Parisian jeweler at a cost of half a million dollars. So long is
the string that Mrs. Cromwell can wear it only after it has been coiled about
her neck several times.
U. S. AMBASSADOR RESIGNS |
Robert Bacon, ambassador of the
United States at Paris, has resigned
to ally himself with Harvard univer
sity-.
Ambassador Bacon’s letter, in which
be announced his resignation to Presi
dent Taft, was received by the Presi
dent at Washington a few days ago.
Mr. Bacon especially refrained from
making his retirement public, as he
desired the first announcement to
come from Harvard university, which
recently chose him to be a fellow in
place of Judge Howell, deceased.
Ambassador Bacon said he wished
his friends to know that there were
no ulterior motives for his resignation.
He had .been for 17 years a member
of the Soard of overseers and could
not, h&?tald, decline the honor of be
- coming* fellow of Harvard, which he
considered to be the best single influ
ence for good in America.
Mr. Bacon added that he welcomed
the opportunity to Identify himself ac-
tively with the great problems of American civic and national life.

Probably nowhere was there greater
surprise felt over the election of Dr.
Sun Yat Sen as the president of the
provincial republic of China than in
Hawaii, where Dr. Sun was born. So
true is it that a prophet is not with
out honor save in his own land. All dur
ing the years that Dr. Sun has been
arousing his countrymen to longings
for a newer and freer national life
and organizing for it the people of Ha
waii have looked on him as a proses- ।
sional adventurer, careful of his own
safety while exploiting the rising pa
triotism of his compatriots.
From time to time for years past
ifave come reports of uprisings in
China, some of them of formidable
promise, said to be the result of his
propaganda. Each report of the kind
has brought out in some of the Hono
lulu papers sarcastic or satirical para
graphs, describing him as a long
range revolutionist and a patriot for
revenue. • •—
Four million dollars in stocks,
bonds and other securities was given
to Mrs. Oliver Cromwell the other day
by Edward T. Stotesbury, head of
Drexel & Co., bankers, as a prelude to
their marriage in the afternoon.
Besides the securities, Mr. Stotes
bury gave his bride jewels valued at
a million dollars.
The ceremony was performed at
four o’clock at the home of the bride,
1808 New Hampshire avenue, Wash
ington, D. C. The bishop of Washing
ton, Rt. Rev. Alfred Harding, read the
service in the presence of a small but
distinguished company, which includ
ed the president of the United States
and Mrs. Taft, Mrs. J. Pierpont Mor
gan and J. P. Morgan, Jr. Arthur Em
len Newbold of Philadelphia acted as
best man. Mrs. Cromwell was given
in marriage by her elder son, Oliver
Eaton Cromwell, acting in the place
of her father, James H. Roberts, who
is ill in Florida.

FISH COULD READ
Tale Told by Friend of Publicity
Promoter.
- *
Sturgeon Didn’t Mind Being Swimming
Billboard, but Balked at Advertis
ing Good Fishing at Summer
Resort.
New York. —“I am w’ell acquainted
with a man who ran a summer hotel
on the banks of a stream about an
aeronaut’s fly from the city,” said the
man who writes the vacation guide
book of a certain railroad and who is
noted for his chivalry in assisting
truth to rise after she has been
crushed to earth.
"Along early in the summer this
gentleman was attracted by a large
sturgeon which breakfasted every
moning on the refuse which floated
away from the hostelry. Noting the
ample proportions of this fish, my
friend was struck with a certain Idea,
which he proceeded to enlarge upon.
Ho saw to it personally that a dainty
morsel was set out for the big stur
geon every day. Naturally, the large
fish had fhendly feelings toward the
vicinity where ho obtained his largess
every day, and it was but a short
while before mine host was almost on
speaking terms with the sturgeon, it
was just a step further then to go
out in a boat and pace the sturgeon
over a course of about a mile, all the
while keeping him near the surface of
the river. At the end of each work
out the big sturgeon was rewarded by
something to eat.
“The next step in the process of ed
ucation was to rig up a large sign
setting forth the virtue of my friend’s
summer retreat. This was attached
to a light but stout framework made
to fit the back of the sturgeon. Ob
viously, the big fish, being so well
found by the hotel proprietor, was
not averse to taking a few turns up
and down the river, the sign showing
up in great shape above the edge of
the water, no portion of its propelling
power being visible.
"First along the sign read: ’Mum
mer’s Summer Retreat —Fine Cuisine,
Boating, and Bathing.' But my grasp
ing friend was not satisfied with this.
"One day in early summer I chanced
to drop Into the workshop of the ho
tel and found a painter fixing up a
new sign reading as follows: ‘Mum
mer’s Summer Retreat —Fine Cuisine,
Boating, Bathing and Fishing.’
MINER’S 30-YEAR REWARD
Congressman Lewis of Maryland,
Whom He Befriended as a Boy,
Opens New Vista.
Scranton, Pa.—-Edward Donnelly,
track layer in the Taylor mine, who
lives in Minooka, is firmly convinced
that it pays to befriend homeless boys,
for his kind actions toward a friend
less orphan thirty years ago have
borne fruit, and the chances are that
he will in a few days retire from the
mines forever.
Thirty years ago there appeared in
Minooka a young Welsh boy by the
name of Lewis. He secured employ
ment in the Carr’s Patch mine, but,
being the only Welsh boy in the com
munity, his life was made miserable
by his companions until Edward Don
nelly came to his rescue. Donnelly
constituted himself the champion of
the youth and frequently fought his
battles.
Lewis drifted away from this sec
tion of the country, and that was the
last heard from him until last week,
when Congressman D. J. Lewis of
Maryland reached the city to attend
the meeting of the State Grange.
After addressing the grangers Con
gressmen Lewis hurried out to Minoo
ka and hunted up Donnelly. The meet
ing was fraught with reminiscences of
the past, for Lewis the orphan boy
and Lewis the congressman proved to
be one and the same.
Before leaving Congressman Lewis

he should prepare to give up tb6
mines, as he, meant to find a more
remunerative as well as a‘ pleasanter
berth for him in the government serv
ice
, “immediately, if not sooner than
this sign was moored on to the big
fish, startling results followed. His
nibs commenced to sulk on the job.
Instead of taking the beaten path up
and down the shore, in plain view of
the passing trains, the sturgeon
sulked over to one side, found a se
cluded spot among the bushes and
stayed there until dark. This went
on for several days.
“Again I chanced to stop at the ho
tel and my friend spoke to me about
, the strange sulkiness of his sturgeon
. publicity bureau. ‘I can tell you what’s
, the matter,’ I said, right off the reel.
’lt’s that amended sign calling atten
tion to the fishing. Naturally a flsh
as intelligent as your sturgeon has
shown himself to be is not going to
be around any signs which Invite the
destruction of his brother fish. 1 ad
mire him all the more for his sturdi
ness and fealty to his brethren. He
sees his duty and is not found want
ing.’
“The hotelkeeper saw the light
which I set before him and the next
day the old sign was hooked on to the
sturgeon and he was back on the ad
vertising job with all his old time
strenuoslty, continuing untiringly all
summer.
“Now, if I didn’t know about this
incident personally and vouch for it
myself, I wouldn’t blame you for
doubting the remarkable intelligence
of a flsh that could distinguish the
difference between a sign that meant
harm to members of his tribe and one
that did not advertise the fishing. But
it’s jest as true as I stand here."
At this juncture the speaker walked
away.

RANK OF OFFICERS’ WIVES
It Was Observed When the Women
Journeyed to the Fleet —Were
Divided Into Sets.
San Francisco.—Rank was observed
among the wives of the officers of the
Pacific fleet on their recent journey
' aboard the Wilhelmina to Honolulu to
join their husbands, according to the
officers of the Matson liner. The bet
ter halves of some had their own llt
tie whio. parties, while the spouses of
officers of lower grade were just as
exclusive at their afternoon teas.
The party of navy women was head
■ ed by the wife of Rear Admiral Chaun
-1 cey M. Thomas, commander-in-chief of
1 the Pacific fleet, who showed her gra
ciousness in a little incident observed
by the other travelers on board the
Wilhelmina.
Among the passengers was a slip
' of a girl, the bride of a water tender
' of one of the big war ships. She hail
ed from the middle west and it was
her first experience at sea. She look
ed upon the big world with open-eyed
awe and joyful anticipation of a coun
try girl on her first -trip from the
■ old farm “down home.”
Therefore she knew nothing of the
' formalities observed in circles where
gold braid prevails. Learning that Hrs.
’ Thomas, like herself, had a husband
on board one of the vessels in the far
away waters, she rushed up to the
i spouse of the rear admiral and gushed
: happily:
"I’m awfully glad to meet you.
। My husband is an officer on the boats,
। too.”
“Yes, he’s a water tender,” she con
। tinned proudly. “And what is your
; husband ?’’
“He is the commander of the fleet,"
Mrs. Thomas smiled kindly.
"Oh, that is very nice. 1 hope
they’re friends," said the water tend
er’s wife.
Mrs. Thomas and the bride were
friends on the voyage to the islands,
say the Wilhelmina’s officers.

“By the time we reached the Florida

Mr. Newlywed Resented What He

Joke Was on Him,
They were on their wedding tour,

Having stopped at away station,
the bridegroom was approached by
the station agent, who asked:
“Are you going to take the next
train?”
"It’s none of your business,” re

he guided the bride up the platform,
( where they condoled with each other

natives.
Onward came the train, Its vapor
‘ curling from afar. It was the last to
, their destination that day—an express.
। Nearer and nearer it came at full
speed; then in a moment it whizzed
past and was gone.
"Why in thunder didn’t that train
stop!” yelled the bridegroom.
