July 18th.

Mr.. EDITOR: Being q foreigner, | can
not pretend to Judge of what may be the
feelings of Hawaiian women. They
may be entirely different from the feel
ings of women in other parts of the
world There may, however, on the
contrary, be some women here-and
even some men, too, who will I'M
derstand and sympathize with the
feelings expressed in the verses enclose
you. There may be others here who,
without ever having taken this view OF
the matter, are still not bred too dull to
be able to perceive the truth expressed
by these lines.
In an English village there lived, not
a hundred years ago, a married couple
name John and Mary Ford. John Ford
was a VIGOROUSLY brutal and bad hus-
band, but, like many such, when Mary
Ford ded-the only thing she could do
to escape from John FOrd-he was
touched to the heart by the thought OF
her many excellencies and by the tender
affection which he felt for her memory.
SO he ordered a fine stone to be placed
over her grave. on which was to be en-
graved a tribute to her memory and a
suitable brief record OF her life. The
village poet, familiar as villagers usually
are with the domestic affairs OF their
neighbors, produced the following lines:
Here lies the body of Mary Ford,
Her soul, we hope, is with the Lord;
But if for hell she has left this life,
Better be there than John Ford $ wife -
The lines commanded universal APP
probation in that neighborhood, and
may be equally suitable for some Ha-
waiian wives, at least if your present
law should remain unaltered. Pass
them on to those to whom they may be
useful ANOTHER FOREIGN WOMAN.

DESERVING Spouses.

Mr.. EDITOR: l desire to make state
ment in regard to the law ''To prevent
married persons from deserving one an
other" and in regard to the bill lately
introduced before the Legislature relat-
ing to it. The law as it now stands reads
as follows:
Section /. Upon sworn complaint be-
fore any Judge of a Court of Record or
Police or District Justice, bv anv party
that his wife has without cause forsaken
his bed and board, and refused and still
refuses to cOhabit with him; or that her
husband has, without cause, deserted
her, ana neglects to maintain, provide
for and support her, as in Section 1886.
Civil Code, provided, such Justice NAV
issue warrant to apprehend and bring
before him the party SO complained OF. -
Sec. 2. Said Justice shall examine
into, hear and determine the COMPLAINT
and shall secure, if practicable, recon
citation between the parties if they be-
come recOnciled to each other no pen
atty shall be imposed
Sec. 3. But if the offending party re-
fuse to return and perform the duties of
the marriage contract, he or she NAV be
punished by Imprisonment at hard labor
for term not exceeding one month. in
the discretion OF the Judge
Sec. +. In any suit brought for deser-
ton, it shall he permitted the defendant
to prove in sef-justifcation the ill-con-
duct OF the complainant, and on estab-
fishing such defense to the satisfaction
OF the Court, the suit may be dismisse {,
the Judge awarding the costs as in civil
cases, and execution may be issued
therefor.
A bill was introduced to repeal this
law, and majority OF the House OPP
posed the bill. Some of the reasons
OF the opposition were these:
The law has been in operation for
twenty-eight years, and, with the excep-
ton of rare instances of hardship, it has
been a beneficial law
The law gives great discretion to the
Court, and affords every opportunity to
the party charged to refute the charge
and show innocence.
But in case the party is clearly in the
wrong the Court has the power to COM
pei compliance. The right of appeal in
case injustice is done is always open.
The law is for the benefit of the wife
as we'll as for the husband.
Many attempts have been made to re-
peal the law, but it has always been de-
feated by the Hawaiian members of the
Legislature, together with those having
knowledge of the operation OF the law
among Hawaiians.
The law has restored peace to very
many Hawaiian families, and prevented
infidelity and divorces.
Your statement, Mr. Editor, that l
said "that a Hawaiian woman did not
think her husband loved her unless he
sent policeman after her." is incorrect
| made no such statement. Something
of the kind was suggested by another
member, but not by me.

Mr.. EDITOR: In the communication
published yesterday of ga Foreign
Woman" upon the existing law relating
to the desertion of married people, and
in your editorial comments thereon, it
seems to be assumed that it is a law
giving to the husband only this power of
cOercing his mate. 1t will be seen in
the first section that the wife has the
same power over her husband.
| have no observations to make upon
the expediency of retaining the law on

law, and l we'll remember that it was
passed to comply with many petitions

CHORUS i:

I'm waiting for the railroad cars,
I'm signing for the railroad,
I'm anxious for the railroad cars,
I'm dying for ride.
A railroad car with its cushions soft and cheap
fare is a boon,
For. which our people long have sighed, and
should be blessed with soon.
So Gribby, whoop her up old boy, ana quickly
lay the track,
For which we may for forty cents ride to the
Park and hack.
love to mount railway car, and take a seat
inside,
With something handsome on my ARM whose
heart to mine is tied.
But this road tires my patience it lengthens out
so slow,
In fact, as Latin scholars say, it stands at statu
quo.
Palama Jim's old bus and team-which surely
must be tired
should have a rest, likewise his horn-the outht
should be fired;
But if this railroad is not pushed, trIend JIlu
won't drop his horn,
Till thirty months at least have passed, and
ninety-One is born.
The dudes or yum gums, light of cash, Will nail
the cars with joy, -,
And pose for mashes at their ease and pay the
moneyed boy
They then can give their girls ride snd not
dread the bankrupt's fate,
And still have coin to buy her sweets with WhIch
to osculate-
And don't you forget that

AFTERNOON SESSION,
A Wonderful Rifle.

According to all accounts the new 'Lebel
rifle" is wondrous weapon, and is des-
tined to do terrible things in the hands of
French soldiers. The members of the
Academy of Medicine, wishing to diagnose
the physical consequences of wounds in
fiicted by the bullets of the gun, recently
had experiments made on twenty corpses,
probably those of paupers whom nobody
owned, or those of i'll fated waits picked up
at the Morgue. The bodies were placed at
the original firing distances-from 200
yards up to mile or so. The bullets
whizzed through the bones and pierced
them without fracturing them, as is done
by the bullets of the "Gras rifle" The
wounds, if they may be called so, which
were inflicted were small in their punctures,
and consequently very dangerous and diff
cult to heal. Injuries inflicted at short
distances were so considerable that, in the
opinion of the surgeons, they would be
almost incurable. At the longest range
1000 meters-a poplar tree was hit, but
the bullet did not go through the tree At
], 100 meters the tree was pierced through.
The discharges of the rifle are unaccom-
panied by smoke, and the reports are COM
paratively feeble.
