CRIME AND CASUALTY.

There has been no diminution in
atrocious crimes, which have been
rather frequent in late years. In
Kona Portuguese made murder
Gus assault on a countryman, doing
him almost to death. Four white
men were convicted of manslaughter,
after trial of seven days at Hilo,
for killing a japanese at Hamakua.
Chas. Hiram, the Kings coachmap,
was murdered by South Sea ISL
ander. Lui Seymour made sensa-
ton in the Supreme Court July ID
by pulling a pistol before Judge
Dole. Augustus Turley, steamer
engineer, mysterlously disappeared
on Hawaii. L. Prichard was found
dead in his house at Hama, and his
native father-in-law was convicted of
manslaughter for the crime, and sem
fenced to nine years imprisonment.
For the killing of Chinaman in
Kona, whose body was rescued from
a burning house, fellow-country-
man was tried and acquitted. A
japanese killed his wife in Kau and
the jury disagreed on his trial. The
murder of a Cninaman ON Kauai re-
mains blank mystery. A China
man awaits trial for the murder of
two persons on Maui, when the same
day he attelnpte 10 kill others. Il.
w. Simeona, policeman, was killed
in Kona by leper he was trying to
apprehend.
The crew of the whaling bark
Jacob A. Rowland, wrecked on John
son Island, were rescued and brought
to Honolulu. Cloud bursts have
caused floods on the islands of Kaua
and Hawaii, attended by some loss
of life and much damage to property
A storm at Honolulu in February
kept the Australian steamer outsld,
twenty four hours and caused tho
total loss Of the small steamer EVA
on the reef. There was a series o
fires in Honolulu in June, life being
lost in each of two eases. Th'
prevalence of robberies at thes,
fires led to the organization of
volunteer fire police. Insubordina
tion broke out at the Leper Settle
ment, Molokal, which was tactfull,
suppressed. Six lives were lost ou
of one Portuguese household at Ha
makua by the upsetting OF boat.

A chief value Of the Bible rs a guide
OF human conduct Is found I'm the fact
that IL Is a book OF vital principles in
stead OF being book OF rigid rules;
that IL indicates In its precepts
the spirit that should influence
us In all our actions instead OF
declaring 10 us In specific injunctions
the application Of those principles in
every imaginable case. Yet Il Is just
nj this point that the Bible Is misunder-
stood by many. and that many are
perplexed by what seems To them n
lack OF explicitness In the diyinely I'M
spired teachings OF the Bible, says the
Sunday School Times.
The Bible declares IL To- be every
mans duty To love God supremely. and
to love every child OF man rs one
dear TO God himself This command
ment Is exceedingly broad" II rep
resents a principle which can find its
application at all times. In any aud
every relation OF life. He who really
wants to know and do just what Is
right in any given case has the re-
sponsibility laid upon him OF finding
out for himself how the principle bears
upon that case and then OF acting ac-
cordingly.
But IL man Is puzzled TO know
whether he shall take the right or
the left hand when he meets "A fellow
man on narrow crossing In muddy
street. he will find no specific decara-
tion on the subject In the pages OF the
entire Bible. The principles enun-
ciated In the Bible ought 10 enable IA
man To see that II Is his duty To con-
form To the well-defined current prac-
tice In such a matter. and 10 concede
10 his fellow man that portion OF the
pathway which custom or law declares
10 be his. But unless man Is willing
To study out from Bible principles "a
rule that should guide him In the case,
he must be so far without rule that
has the Bible sanction
And thus IL Is In all the range OF
human duty; the Bible enunciates the
principle that ought In every case to-
be n mans standard Of action. while IL
does not propose 10 supply man with
"A specific rule for every particular case
before him for decision. Although
this Is Enthusiastically the truth concern
ing the Bible, IL is by no means gener-
ally recognized as the truth; and be-
cause OF the misconceptions OF the pur-
pose and methods OF the Bible so far
men are constantly misleading them
selves In courses OF conduct through
their conviction that the Bible does
or does not specifically pass upon those
courses OF conduct for all time and
every person.

Foreigners have formed an impress
sion that American children are pre-
cocious. Perhaps that Is so. At all
events. there is no better instance OF
early development that could be cited
than in the case of Dave Morris. seven
teen years old aud youngest son of
John A. Morris. the protector of the
New York Jockey Club. Master Dave
is an expert with the violin. aud was at
one time devoted To amateur photogra-
ply. but when N. Y. Star reporter
met him the other morning on his way
To his lawyers Office he assumed all
the dignity of man OF affairs. IL was
not long ago that he asked his father
for check for 500. 900. and. on ex-
planning that he wished Ia study in-
yestments. he received IL.
Now he diligently scans the money
articles Of the great dailies. consults at
the breakfast table with his father
about Rock Island extension Is and
New York Central debentures, while
his lawyer is instructed 10 keep him in
formed of gilt-edged applications for
loans on bond aud mortgage. Young
Mr.. Morris tells me that he has made
but few mistakes. and his father be-
lieves that his indulgence will teach
his sou the value of money better than
n long apprenticeship Ia a bankers
office.

Training Mind aud character.

Mind and character are acted upon
in proportion as they act from within.
They are gamers just so far as they
are giyers. They receive in proportion
10 their outlay. In the realm Of
knowledge and of character. passive
reception is no reception. Only rs "A
learner becomes teacher. does he
really learn. Only as he who Is with
in the range Of influence begins TO
influence others. is he himself truly
Influenced. Reading or hearing brings
no result 10 him who makes no use OF
that which comes 20 him In this way.
IL is by "A mans arousing himself To
tell Of what he has heard or read, that
man makes the information thus
available to him his permanent possess
sion. IL Is by man. striving 10 ex-
hibit the effect on himself OF good
influences which have been brought
TO bear upon him. that "A man brings
himself To be shaped i'm character and
life by those influences. Not he who
has had best opportunities OF learning,
or of being rightly influenced, but he
who has been most active and per-
sistent in making available TO others
the good which has come 10 him, Is the
man who Is the trnest gamer from in
struction and influence. Not only Is
IL more blessed 10 give than To receive,
but there Is no so sure way OF receiv-
ing ms by giving. Income in mind and
character is measured by outgoing;
and that which Is impaired is the
measure OF that which Is retained.

constantly taken for granted When

But he builds the house with windows.
