Enyei Nade of Punishment.

OTTAWA, Cnt.. oct. lG.-When
David Smith. the 10-year-old boy who
several weeks ago. stabbed young Percy
close to the heart with a pocketknife,
was before Magistrate DUmhlc at Co.
burns for sentence, the judge said the
prisoner had been guilty OF q very bad
ofense and had shown bravado that
was astonishing. He was undoubtedly
a boy Of bad procllv!tics. yet the magis-
trate felt that to send him to prison
would simply confirm him in crime.
Under all the circumstances. his honor
thought the best thing that could be done
was to give the boy q severe tlogglnS.
He said that if Smiths father would give
the boy twenty lashes on the bare back
with birch CAD, and inhict the punish
ment conScientiously. and to the salts
faction of the court, he would not send
the boy to the penitentiary. The father
readily accepted the magistrates PROPOSE
ton. and in the cell the culprit was
severely hogged by his father. Each
stroke of the CAD left a livid welt upon
the back of the boy. who cried with the
pain. After tie boy had recovered
somewhat from his castigation, he was
taken back to the courtroom and senten-
ced to close confinement in the county
isil for the balance :of the month. The
magistrates novel mode OF punishment
has been highly commended By the
townpeop!e as wise and satisfactory.

Ward, Representing Capital.
The plan of starting q sugar refinery
here is assuming tangible form. Mr.. Fred
Ward, cashier of the Seattle National
bank, is pushing the scheme. He will pro-
pose that the Chamber of Commerce raise
S2OO, 600 for the enterprise. Hawaiian CAPT.
talsts will contribute another $500 900, and
Mr.. Ward will guarantee another $500 900
from capitalists. The idea is to operate in
connection with the American sugar re-
inery of San Francisco.
During the summer Hon. A. p. Carter,
the Hawaiian minister at Washington
City, was in Seattle and expressed will
ingness to put monev into sugar refinery
here; and other Honolulu planters. Mr..
Carter believes. would subscribe heavily.
Mr.. Ward says: ut would take six
months to get the organization properly
perfected, and six months longer to put it
in operation. By that time We would have
our transcontinental railway lines COM
pleted 90 Seattle, and would be in position
