THE EMPEROR WILLIAM.

To-day is the s9th anniversary of
the birth of Emperor William of
Germany. Few sovereigns have ever
lived to reach his nature age, and
still fewer have so conducted their
administrations as to receive the
hearty homage of their subjects and
the respect of the wide world. The
secret of Emperor Williams success
is his firm trust in the Supreme Ruler
of the Universe, as expressed in the
following item published in October
of last year,
A New York Herdid Berlin cable
gram of October 2Gth says: EN-
peror William visited the Dom
Chapel to-day, where he inspected
the new altar-piece representing the
kings of the earth laying their
crowns and scepters at the feet of
the Redeemer. Replying to the adj
dress by DR.. Koegel, the Emperor
said: GAS for what you have said
about me personally, l accept it with
all modesty as n man whose days
are now numbered. In my lifetime
heavenhas covered me with blessings
and mercies, especially in my old
age, but the homage paid me | lay
at the throne of the Highest, from
whom l derive strength to execute
all the best things that can be done
on earth. In my old days | can
call to heaven to witness that ! have
ever looked upon religion as the sole
foundation on which everything re-
poses, and as the highest good OF
my people"
The event was cerebrated here by
q salute fired from the shore bat
terry at noon, n band concert and
reception at the Consulate. The
band filed the hour with choice
selections of German Airs, beginning
and ending with "The Watch on the
Rhine," the programme closing with
Hawaii Ponoi. The reception was
attended by His Excellency Gov,
Domlnis, their EXcellencies the Min.

General, the Collector-General, the

nearly two years at Zacatecas, Mex

been shot in December, has secured

One of the S. f. papers gives the
following account of j. w. Nc
Carthy's arraignment when John
w. Mccarthy, late Supreme Court
Clerk, was called for arraignment on
the five charges of embezzlement
against him, his counsel asked for a
continuance on the ground that his
client had gone to Sacramento on
pressing business. Clerk Berthier,
however, had just seen the famous
Honolulu tourist outside of the
Courtroom, and Judge Toohy order
ed him called into Court. The Clerk
then read the Indictment, and Nc
Carthy's counsel asked for two
weeks time before pleading. 1t was
suggested that the plea could be
entered at once, and withdrawn if
the defendant saw fit to change it in
the future. Counsel declined to
pursue this course, on the ground
that the questioned validity of the
Grand Jury's indictments entered
into the case, and it would save
trouble to await the Supreme Court 5
ruling on the question. The case
was then continued for one week,
