A Rival to the Telephone.

Mr.. ". S. Rogers has a company
in process Of formation to introduce
the writing telegraph machine. Mr..
Rogers proposes to operate them on
the telephone system, having a CEN
trail Office connecting with all the
private or public Instruments. If a
business man wants to hold a con-
yersation with a customer or friend
he pulls a little lever, which rings a
bell at the central Office. He then
writes down on his plate the number
he desires, the connection is made,
and he proceeds to write. down his
message, which is Immediately re-
produced at the other end. If the
party the message is addressed to is
in, he answers in the same way, and
the conversation can be carried on
indefinitely. The questions and an
swers being all in writing they can
be fled away for futrre reference.
When the party called up is not in,
the message Is ready for him when
be returns to his office. Mr.. Rogers
also intends to nse the machine in
furnishing baseball scores to public

THE BIRTHDAYS OF EMPIRES.

The Worlds Fair will do much to
accentuate the four hundredth ami
versary of the discovery of America.
Whether that Fair is held in New
York, Washington, Chicago, or some
other city, it will not be for the glory
of any particular place. All the
nations of North and South America
will celebrate this anniversary. Be-
sides the discovery made by Colum-
bus, there are other great historic
events which might we'll obtain re-
cognition at the same time. The
more important ones are the discov-
cry of Newfo midland by John Cabot
in 1897. Two years later (l499),
Brazil was discovered by Vincent
Yonez Pincon. In the year 1919
Cortez landed on the coast of Mexico
and began the series of conquests
which resulted in gaining all that
country for the Spanish crown. In
the year 1881 Pizarro landed in Peru
and began the conquest of that
country. -Four years later (1535)
Iu0 OulI VI o. hdNI6Qc6 was dis
covered by Jaques Cartier In the
same year Mendoza began the foun-
dation of the city of Buenos Ayres.
Two years later $3.50 Cortez dis
covered California.
The English made the first per-
manent settlement in North Anorica
in the year 1907, on James River, in
Virginia A year later, ZOOS, the
French began the foundation of the |
city of Quebec. In the year 1909 |
Hendric Hudson, the Dutch naviga-
tor, sailed up the harbor of New York
and made landing on Manhattan
Island. In 1920 the Pilgrims landed
at Plymouth. During the present
year, 269 years afterward, a monu-
ment was dedicated at Plymouth to
perpetuate the memory of that event.
ALI these historic incidents might
Well be grouped. They cover a per
iod of more than a century, begin

A FEMALE SAMSON.
Remarkable Power of n Young Woman

| Remarkable Power of Young Woman
She Can Wrench or the Bars OF
Prison Cells With Ease.
New YORK, Sept. 13.-Mary Mar
tin, young woman who was sent to
the Kings County Penitentiary, has
been transferred to the hospital at
Flatbush, where the doctors will en-
deavor to find out the source from
which she has a remarkable power
She is tinid and extremely sensitive,
but possesses the strength of Sam
son. She is only four feet six inches
in height, small-limbed and has the
hand of child of ten years.
When arrested In Brooklyn she
had torn up lamppost in the street,
and it required five officers to arrest
her. She was locked up in an iron
cell and an hour later surprised the
sergeant by appearing before him,
having bent the door bars and
crawled out of the prison.
She was given the strongest cell,
but few hours later was found
airing herself in the prison yard.
Mary had snapped the bars of her
cell door as If they had been sticks
of sealing-wax.
Warden Hayes gave orders for the
confinement of this female Samson
IN one of the strongest cells in the
women's prison.
Mary quietly submitted to her
transfer, and the following morning
the discovery was made that she
had again escaped. She was car
ried to another cell and a special |
guard placed over her.
The girl escaped from the cooler"
by using her finger as wrench for
the purpose of removing the nuts
from the ends of the lockbolts, and |
afterwards taking off the lock. She
wouldn't remain locked up, so Judge
Moore RENTED her fine, and she
vas discharged to be again arrested
and taken to the hospital.
Mary can't account for her re-
strength.

SAILORS cLunnrp.
They Tried to Force the Grew Of a Bark
eptino TO Leave Her.


The barkentine Discovery, Captain
McNeill, sailed last evening for Homo.
lulu, carrying number OF passengers
and large list OF freight, including
about fifty head of live stock. The bark
entine carried non-union crew and this
incensed the union men, who tried TO
persuade them to leave the vassel. They
boarded the vessel and endeavored to
induce the crew to knock off work and
go ashore. The latter, however, had
shipped for satisfactory wages, were
treated well and refused to leave.
About III O'Clock in the morning Cap
tain McNeill applied to the barber police
for protection for his men. Officers Dill
Ion and McGlynn were dispatched to
Mission wharf l, where the vessel lay.
Everything went along quietly until
about o'clock, when crowd of about
thirty men boarded the barkentine and
tried by force to compel the crew to quit
work. The men resisted and q free-for-
all fight seemed imminent, when the
officers jumped aboard. As they passed
along the deck one of the intruders stood
on top of the deck-house with saw
buck raised up in his hands, which he
was about TO hurl down on McGlynn's
head. Dillon saw him, and pulling his
pistol, compelled the fellow to drop the
buck. and so saved his brother officer
from severe and possibly fatal injury.
Dillon and McGlynn then laid about
with their clubs and got in many good
whacks on the craniums and shins OF the
intruders as they swaTmed ashore.
Some of them as thew limDed ND the
dock, showed evidence that the blows
from the clubs had been effective.
Thinking that the gang would return
to renew the attack, reinforcements
were sent for at the harbor station. Cap
tain Dunlevy sent what officers he could
spare to the scene, and they remained
there until 6 o'clock, when the tug Etna
towed the barkentine away from the |
dock and out to sea.-lS. f. Call. Sept. |

A carload of raisins has been ship

this IS the initial Shipment, it Is to be
hoped that our Fresno friends have

appeal from Decision Of Judd c. j..

TON AND DOLE, ~
Opinion Of the Court BY Preston, J.
This is an appeal from the decis-
ion of the Chief Justice sitting in
Chambers as the Intermediary Court
for the Island of Oahu.
The facts Of the case and the ar
guments Of counsel are sufficiently
set out in the decision appealed
from.
On consideration of such decis-
ion and of the facts, we are of opin-
ion that the Chief Justice was cor
rect in holding that the transaction
between these parties was not a
bdilment, but a contract for the
breach of which an action of as
sumpsit will lie. The decision ap-
peIed from is therefore affirmed
with costs.

The facts of this case are as fol-
lows:
On the 10th April, 1886, the
plaintiff deposited with defendant.
who Was a stOreEeepec in Honolulu,
one hundred dOl'Lrs in silver and
the following receipt was given
therefor:

Iendant in a drawer Of the stand |

onging to his uncle. The great

swept off the buildings of large

their railways from the streets men
toned in such additional franchise
and desist from further interference
Herewith, etc., but if the Court
should decide that the defendant:
are possessed of the said additional
franchise it is asked for other in
functions and DEGREES rs above sci
forth based upon the alleged failure
of the defendants to carry out their
railway construction according to
the requirements of their fran
chiseS.
We find here an allegation of
want of title and prayer of relief
based upon it, and allegations of
non-performance or incomplete per-
Torrance admitting title and
prayers of relief based thereon.
This statement of facts in the
alternative, does not apply to the
whole subject matter but only to a
part, 1. {. the franchise conferred
by Chapter LVI. of the Laws of
1883, in which, with some modifi-
cations, the original franchise was
extended to several additional
streets and parts of streets not in
Guided in the original franchise;
moreover there is what appears to
be prayer for an injunction-Sec-
tion %, to be issued, whichever
way the said question of fact may
be decided.
The whole case as presented by
the bill is somewhat complicated, =
the more so because the submission
of proposition of fact in the alter
native relates only to a distinct part
of the subject matter, and the alter
native relief prayed under such
alternative allegation, introduces an
element of confusion into the con-
sideation of the c,.se. A difficulty
of this kind appeals rather to ones |
sense of expedie-.y than of princi-
pie. (Story's Equity Pleadings,
Sec. 2S0). Courts will not refuse
to deal with cases raising diverse
questions, even at the cost of con-
siderable Inconvenience, if they can
satisfactorily adjudicate them, but
where they cannot do so, they will
decline to interfere. (Hoggart rs.
