TO-DAY'S SUPPLEMENT- THE SPRECK-
ELS CASE.

We continue our report Of the argu-
ments in the famous Spreckels trial
at San Francisco, printing four full
pages Of thirty-twO columns reading
matter as a supplement. The report
breaks off to-day very near the end of
Mr.. CampbelPs closing argument for
the prosecution, counsel for the Peo-
pie, having the right of "last word"
Mr.. Campbell is q very able criminal
lawyer, and although his fees are
paid by NJ. II. DeYoung, together
with those Of Mr. Reuben Lloyd, who
assisted him during the trial, both
Mr.. Lloyd and himself were tempo
rarily appointed deputies by the Dis
trict Attorney, Mr.. Wilson. In point
of fact, therefore, although technically
brought by the People against Adolph
b. Spreckels, the prosecution was in
essence and conduct a private prose-
cution - persecution would be the
better word to use.
But the point of to-day's report
will be found in Mr.. Henry High
toms mastery and exhaustive anaIy-
sis of evidence and the motives and
course of the "Chronicle" in its ma
Iignant and sustained attacks upon
the moral character, business integ-
rity and honorable dealing of Colonel
Claus Spreckels and his family.
Following Mr.. Hall McAllister's
grand grafton, it was fitting wind
ing-up to the defense, which then
rested secure with the jury, despite
the legal sophistry of Mr.. Campbell,
who was to follow, because the Judge
would surely bring them back to an
impartial and calm review of the
facts in evidence.
Tomorrow we shall publish the
conclusion of this most remarkable
and instructive case, including the
Judges charge.

Major Bender has left at the ADVERTISER
Office pair of the celebrated seventeen
year locusts" that made their appearance in
the United States last month. There are
but few of the older residents, whose early
days were passed in the northern part of the
United States, but will remember these
curious insects when they appeared in 1851
aad again in 1868. An interesting descrip-
ton of them has been given by Professor
Riley, Entomologist of the Agricultural
Bureau Of the United States.

intending emigrants TO the United

These remarks are called for by the
facts set out in pamphlet published
by Mr.. Seeman, Hawaiian Consul,
giving an account IF the sums re-
mitted by the Azorean immigrants
in these Islands, to their families ia
st. Michael during the year 1884.
This statement is in continuation Of
former publications, and starts with
the consecutive number 675, ending
with 1850. The total amount re-
mitted TO their friends in the Azores
last year, according TO this statement,
was $37, 563, plus a few cents. Now,
this is a very large sum for s85 people
to remit in single year out Of their
surplus earnings. 1t represents nearly
S42 80 for each Individual, and is an
eloquent tribute TO the thrift and
natural affection of the Portuguese.
Everything that can reasonably be
accomplished to make them content
with their surroundings here should
be done; but the dry statement Of fact
made by Us in this connection shows
cOnclusively that these people are in
initely better off here than ever they
could have hoped to be in their ma

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

The scarcity of money in circula-
ton has been frequently remarked
upon by storekeepers and business
men generally. The Chinese are
charged with boarding coin when
they get it and sending it home to
China, but there are others who
hoard and send away money besides
Chinese. The Portuguese are, as rule,
quite as thrifty as Mongolians, and
quite as attached to their less fortu-
nate relatives in their native homes.
This trait is a good one, and when
not carried to an extreme is to be
commended even by the community
wii.a feY from it. The same
charac tics were true of the Irish

EuneraI OF the Late Manager of the
Royal Hawaiian Hotel.
The funeral Of the late Joseph Til
den, manager of the Royal Hawaiian

ceived in the fire of Tuesday evening

crosses Of flowers, the gifts OF loving

were assembled, with large number
of his personal friends.
An appropriate service was read
by Pastor CruZan, and the coffin was
borne to the hearse by Messrs. Lame

tary Order Of the Loyal League of the
United States, of which the deceased
was Companion); Messrs. Eldredge
and Jones of the G.. A. R.; Messrs.
Tavernier and Clarence Macfarlane
of the Bohemian Club of San Fran
cisco; and Messrs. Whitney, Deering,
Hayley and Cornwell. A number of
carriages containing friends fol-
lowed the hearse to the cemetery.
At the grave the burial service of
the Grand Army of the Republic was
read, and the mortal remains Of as
true a man as ever breathed were
laid to rest by the side Of comrades in
arms during the late rebellion in the
United States.
The deceased was born in Lowell,
Mass, December II, 1888, and conse-
quently was forty-six and half years
old. His father was connected with
the Merrimac Mills in that city, and

ton, Mass, and remained there for
some time. He enlisted as private in
Company l, Fourty-fourLh Massa-
chusetts Volunteers; was promoted to
Captain in the Fifty-fifth Massachu-
sets Volunteers. He mustered out
on account Of disability July Is,
1868. At what time he came to Cali
fornia is not exactly known. He was
a broker in San Francisco and a mem
Der of the well-knOwn firm OF Tilden
& Breed. The deceased was also
caller at the Pacific Board. He came
to Honolulu about a year ago and
was associate manager with the late
George Fassett, and became sole
manager at the death of the latter.
He leaves three children, two daugh-
ters and a son, to mourn his loss. His
wife died in December, 1881. The
three children were put to school in
Sonoma, CAL, and at the present time

sonville, with Mrs. FOard, sister of
Mrs. J. HI. CODgdsn, the latter being a
relative Of Mr. Tilden's wife's family.
The son is 10 years old, and the two
daughters are Is and Is years respec-
lively, all bright children.
During his stay in these Islands the
deceased made a host of friends, who
will mourn his sudden death and
sympathize with his relatives and
friends in the United States over their
loss.

For Medicine-Takers.

A New Orleans doctor calls attention to
a very simple fact which merits attention
from medicine takers If the medicine is
mixed with very cold water, and a few
swallows of the water be taken as pre-.
paratory dose, the nerves of the organ of
taste become sufficiently benumbed to
make the medicine nearly tasteless. The
method will not disguise bitter tastes, but
acts well in oils and salines.

to say Of the work of that body: "A

to equalize by classification. Such law
will render it impossible for the board
to reduce an assessment Of mining prop

Of the fact that its actual value is often

ceipt ofwarning letters OF coming danger.
Since the dynamite explosion in the

ovan Rosa to be fearless men, who
would not hesitate TO shoot him on
sight.
To day, when an unknown woman
made her appearance in Mr.. Rossa pri-
vate sanctum, he did not think of there
being any danger. He got up to offer
her a seat, but was not what she wanted,
for as quick az flash she drew revolver
and shot the dynamiter There is no
reason given for the shooting, but it is
thought that it is revenge for the con
temptble way in which ODonovan
Rossa's friends attempted to Kill Phe-
Ian, and not on account of the London
explosion.
There seem to tc great many theo-
ries given by those who pretend to
know, but the above is about as proba-
bic as any, and it was to revenge Phe-
lan's injuries.
Alta late hour tonight, it is thought
by Rossa's physicians that his recovery
is doubtful.
