AT the Civil Court on Monday Il case
was heard of considerable general in
terest. Mrs. Eliza Watson sued Il. Il.
Walker of the Keystone, Mr.. E Preston
appearing for the plaintiff and Mr.. Cecil
Brown for the defendant. Mrs. Watson
complained that her husband was fre.
qurntly drunk in the Keystone saloon
and that she had notified the bar keepers
not to serve him with liquor, that she
was obliged to get help and food from
her friends and to take in wfshing in
ordr to pay for her rent. Another wit
ness stat ed that Watson was "a regular
drinker." For the defence the two bar
keepers said they had rever seen Wat.
son drunk or been leques ted not to
serve him with liquor and that he never
spent any money but was always
'treaied" by others. Judgment was
given for the plaintiff for 500 and costs

was noted.

which was beautifully rendered.
After the reading of appropriate
portions of the Scriptures, Father
Damon said to the friends and rela-
tives assembled in the church that
"we have come here to mourn over
the loss OF a youth who was born in
this country but who had gone from
this country of his birth and sought
q home in the far distant Arizona,
and where while performing the res
ponsible duties of school teacher,
he came by his DEATH He said he
was personally interested in the boy,
as he had known his parents for
over 80 years that he had baptized
him, and that he had been a member
of his Sunday school as well also as
of Fort Street Sunday School. He
had been permitted to examine a file
of letters to his mother covering Sc
veral months back, which breathed
spirit of maniness and affection and
from all that he could learn from
every source, there was nothing con-
nected with his death that left blot
upon his good character and bella :
vior. He expressed his deepes
sympathy for the bereaved mother
who was the chief mourner there.
The services at the church ended,
the remains were again placed in
the hearse and conveyed to Nuuanu
Valley Cemetery followed by large
concourse of people in carriages and
on foot both natives and foreigners.
After appropriate services at the
grave Father Damon committed the
body "dust to dust ashes to ashes. "
A beautiful feature of the funeral
consisted in the fact that the pail
bearers were ten native youths about
the same age as the deceased and
with whom he was raised and who
requested that they be permitted tc
perform this last office to their de.
parted playmate, they were aided ir
their endeavors by Opunui an ole
nurse of the deceased, and to whom
he was very much attached. We
add our sympathies with those ex
pressed to his mother and relatives
residing here and elsewhere.

THE BIC VOLCANO AND THE
LITTLE MILL,

Mr.. Walter Hill" of "going out
of his way to criticise the language
Of the Press" 1t cannot be said
that our contemporary ''goes out
of his way" in this instance, to
violate every rule and principle of
respectable journalism and to be
personal, abusive, and vindictive;
because it is the way in which he
has goue all along, notably under
the present editorial management,
and this particular instance is only
an imitation of countless others.
Walter Hill was certainly an "em-
ployee of the Chronicte," and per-
haps Sin its worst days" He has
also, within the last twenty-five
years, been the employee of several
other papers, in different parts of
the world. But he has never yet in
troduced private spleen into pub
lie print, nor ever written, even 8 in
his little way," one word of personal
abuse, either for the Chronicle or
any other paper. He has, however,
on various occasions and through
the medium of various newspapers,
done "his little best" to discount
enance the Chronicle style which is
being so ably initiated by the Satnr-
dan Press. A little article aimed
at this object, supposed to have
been written by the said Walter
Hill, and published in the little
BULLETIN, unduly excited the little
narrow mind of the pedantic little
gentleman of the ungentlemanly Sat
urday Press, causing a violent
eruption in fresh place, and COM
pletely smothering the poor little
Hill.
If true that Sin essential gentle
manliness no one connected with
this paper Press) has any need to
fear comparison with Mr.. Walter
Hill," then so much the worse for
Walter Hill: his education must
have been sadly neglected. But
essential gentlemanliness - is
something which the Press is utterly
incapable of comprehending. 1t
being question which requires to
be Investigated by means of princi-
pies and sentiments totally and in
curably opposed to every mental
conclusion appropriate to our neigh
boris sphere, it is question that he
cannot possibly understand. For the
Press to talk of " essential gentle.
manliness " is like blind man dilat.
ing on perspective, or fish explain.
ing the art of walking.
The Press acknowledges thai
Walter Hill Z" has the writer's on thai
paper at one manifest disadvantage
There may be other manifest dis
advantages not perceptible to those
WRITER'S" but clearly manifest .
to impartial observers. For instance
he (the said w. H. again) may have
a better appreciation of common
fairness and slightly better know
ledge of journalistic etiquette. Thi
may be all conjecture: it is neces
sary to speak with caution, TO
w. H. may be as ignorant of thes
matters as the Press is of "essentia
gentlemanliness. Truly, if tn
Press " writer's" will 60 to schoo
again, the little BULLETIN will will
ingly contribute five cents wee
out of its own very limited means
for their instruction in the rudiment
of decent writing. We all hay
something to learn; but, really, MI
Editor, you are sadly in arrear.
