AN OBTBoDoX JSwIsH DIvoaos.-A di5.

ofice Of the couaty jail lass week there iook
place Jewish divorce, something that Dever

Ab-abain Cohen, 10 jaii awaiticg trial for
horse s!es!iug, wa5 some months ego d
yorced from his wife, Mary Cohen, oc her
application 10 L,risvi!ie. As the pfcceec-
ngs of the law did aot auDul the msFrisge
contract according tc their doctrine and re-
ligion, it was necessary to perform, tho dl"
vorcc according to ths orthodox method.
The proceedings which were performed by
]. FingesteiD, rabbi Of Cincinnati, assisted
by NJ Isenberg, of Louisville, were novel
and curious. Cohen and his wife walked
iuto the office together. In his right hand
the rabbi held document written in He
brew charscters, and Hebrew Bible, from
which he read alternate passages to the man,
who repeated them after bim. The docu-
meut, which was supposed to be the divorce,
was doubled up, and the rabbi turned upon
the woman, and, af.er going through cere-
mouy, to which the wife listened weeping
and with her hands raised before her, he
threw the paper iuto her hands, which she
clasped upon it. The article wss then hand
ed to the rabbi. who took 1t, and with
sharp knife severed it in twsio, at the same
time handing one piece to the woman and
one to the man. This ceremony cap be per-
formed only by certain raobis, of whom
there are only six in the country.

Court may proceed when there are
M poOativo rnsfricfiOns

Court may proceed when there are |
no negative restrictions.
The often quoted sections IA and
1913, are here cited as authority for
the Court to go outside of what is
expressed in the statutes. The lead
ing case upon these sections is Kake
VS.. Horton, 2 Haw. 2O9, An action
on the case was brought under the
generally expressed authority OF
Section 1116 for the institution of
suits for the recovery of damages for
injuries direct or consequential.
This action would not lie by the COM
mon law of England, as the death of
a human being could not in civil
action be complained of as an injury.
There was nothing in our statute
controlling the decision, and the
Court held that the common law
would not in this particular be
adopted here, but adopted the rule
of the civil law under which such
action might be brought.
It is a matter of constant practice
in our Courts to cite and adopt the
reasonings and principles of law as
found in the decisions of the Courts
of other countries, and it is neces-
sary to do so, because everything
which controls the decision of case
may not be found in any of our
statutes. For instance, the question
whether contract is supported by
consideration: what elements must
exist to sustain an action for mali
cious prosecution; and in innumer-
able questions arising in civil &C.
tons, must resort be had to what is
known as legal authorities and legal
reasoning. But we know of no in
stance in which the Court has ven
tured to enlarge it's statute powers
as would here be done by decreeing
an annulment upon ground dis
tinctly different from any enumer-
ated in the law It can make no
difference that the case in which it is
desired that the Court shall assume
a power is a plain case and of great
hardship. We cannot we'll conceive
of case more urgently requiring q
remedy than the one before us, nor
of one better supported by legal
principle, namely, that it is of the
essense of a contract, and certainly
of a marriage contract that there
should be the consent of mind of
both parties to it, freely and volun-
tarily and truly expressed when the
marriage ceremony is performed. It
is the sine qua non of this ceremony;
the only question being: Does each
party take the other to be his or her
wife or husband?
But it may be we'll that no statute
provision allows inquiry into the
voluntariness and truth of the APP
parent consent.
It is clear that decree of annul-
ment must set forth the ground
thereof. No statute ground could be
set forth. The Court would appear
to have exceeded it's jurisdiction and
its decree to be void upon its face.
The case is remitted to the Justice
before whom it is pending, with the
advice that the decree prayed for
cannot be granted on the ground OF
non consent.

Mechanical instruction.

Mr.. EDITOR /: Probably no one
would advocate the conversion Of
Oahu College into a mechanical
school, but are there not many
boys whose education would be
rounded out to their own satisfac-
ton and material benefit in later
life, by provision being made in
the college or in connection with it,
for regular and systematic instruc-
ton in the use of the tools that
most men are liable to find it neces-
sary to handle more or less during
some part of their life, CT would
handle if they knew how? l refer
of course to carpenters tools, and
not only to instruction in the use
and care of them merely, but as a
natural sequence, instruction in the
laying out and construction of
work in which they are used.
Instruction of this nature would
be particularly beneficial to boys
who have no prediction for the
professions, and whose pursuits are
therefore liable to be of a mechan.
ical nature, or of nature that re-
quires knowledge of such matters
in order to an intelligent and pro-
ficient oversight of work that may
come under their supervision.
The tendency of the age is to-
ward education for participation in
the practical affairs of life, rather
than for mere book lore that is to
be not only of no earthly use after
the school days are over, but to
which the years of time devoted IN
acquiring without accompanying
training of the eye and hand, are
SO many years of trainlug into a
condition Of helplessness, inefficl'
ency and failure in life.
How many boy with no natu
raj bent for any special calling yet
developed, would not, if taken in
time. receive impressions that would
lead to successful and satisfactory
life in particular line of labor, i'll
stead of one aimless and unsatisfac
tory.
My object in writing this is tc
breach subject which l hope will
be taken up and carried to sue
cessful conclusion by those who are
able to effect it.

Legislative Petitions.

Mr.. EDITOR: Some of the petit
tions- presented to the Legislature
by the member from Kohala, ap-
pear to indicate misconception of
the state of affairs on plantations,
or else knowledge of very differ.
ent conditions existing from those
known to the writer.
To the petition "That laborers
be not allowed to get into debt to
employers more than SO a week, F."
it may be said that all employers
would be only too glad if they
were never importuned for any ad-
vances whatever on wages.
To resist the urgent requests for
these advances, calls for an exercise
of the greatest firmness and appar-
ent hardness on the part of the
employer.
To ask "that employers be re-
CURED to settle promptly at the
end of the month";" is superfluous
to say the least. since every plan
tation has its weekly pay day and
pays promptly every man whose
month has ended during the week.
And to request "that if they (the
laborers) owe anything they shall
have the option as to how much
they shall pay on account" appears
simply absurd to any one who has
had experience in that line, partic-
uIarly with the native Hawaiian,
than whom it would be difficult to
find q slower paymaster.
1 beg to suggest to the honorable
member that more useful would be
resolution that the Government
consider whether it be practicable
to provide residences for the teach
ers of the English schools in coun-
try districts, instead of putting
them to the necessity of hiring a
house, or of seeking accommoda-
tions in private families, either of
which If secured at all, may be only
at very inconvenlent distance
from the school.
Teachers must be sought abroad
to supply places not filled by the
home product. If education is to be
kept up; but what inducement is
there under such conditions for
them to come. For to remain after
they have tried 1t a year?
A bill to make it u penal offence
for minors to use tobacco in any
form. and to provide for hygienic
instruction on this point in the
schools, might conduce to the gem
eral health of the population.
Will Rep. Bush tell where he got
the idea that an adept at saving
whiskey was better fitted to run a
government than one who has been
"schooled in the care of souls?

FROM JAPAN.

By the steamer Sagami Maru, we
have received files of the Japan Ga
zette to June 2, for which we are in
debted to Capt. Kenderdine.
The Japan Exhibition at Toxic
was still open and was daily visited
by an average attendance of ten
thousand persons.
The Japanese Government pub
fishes the rates of exchange for ad
valorvr, duty gooas entered at the
Custom House in yens. The pound
sterling is rated at $6.237; the
American dollar, $1.282; the Ger.
man mark, $O.3O5.
Influenza was prevailing in Japan
at latest dates.

of Toxic, for week ending May IL,
we're: Births 623, deaths 5S7; mar
riages for April were 7SS, divorces

The Japanese naval training ship
Tsukuba is about to start on a long
cruise with a batch of cadets. It is
intended to visit ST anghai, proceed
thence to Port Arthur and Chefoo,
return to Shanghai, call at Fusan
(Corea), thence proceed to Hakodate
and afterwards to the Hawaiian
Islands. The cruise is calculated to
last eight months.
The wonderful ten-inch cloisonne
vases, so greatly admired by visitors
to the Exhibition at Ueno, have been
sold to the worid-famous art curio
dealers, Messrs. Deakin Bros. & Co.,
Is Bund-the price realized being
ST. 900. They were made by the cele-
brated enameller, Namikawa of
Kioto, and are pronounced the finest
ever produced. We shall have more
to say of these gems later on.
The tide of emigration from Japan
to the Hawaiian Islands still con-
tinues. Another batch of 590-in all
the fourteenth we believe which has
gone to the islands-leaves here by
the Sagami Maru, on June I'd, COM
prising ITO males and Sc females
from Kumamoto- ken, $50 males and
36 females from Hiroshima ken, 120
males and 3S females from Yama-
guchi-ken, and 40 males from En-
kuoka ken.
Judging by the statement of one
OF the native papers, emigration to
Honolulu appears to be profitable.
We are told that the savings depos-
tied with the Japanese Consul at
Honolulu by the emigrants are
steadily increasing and that they
now amount to over $25O,OOO. In
stead of two officials, four are now
engaged by the Foreign Department
in connection with the fund. The
money is refunded to the emigrants
on the expiration of their term of
engagement.
The passengers who came along
with the G. p 9th of Picking on her
last trip to this port have presented
Captain Cavarley and officers with a
beautiful flag. The flag is blue, with
centrepiece of yellow representing
tea chest, and the words THE
celebrated City of Picking blend"
worked in silk, and at the corners a
coffee pot and cup, sugar tongs aud
teaspoon also worked in Jap. Gaz.

A New Directory /! !
PatroniZe Home Industry.

The HAWAIIAN GAZETTE CON-
PANY propose to issue new
DIRECTORY AND GAZETTEER
of the Hawaiian Islands, to be based
on the official census returns which
will be taken this present year,
1890.
The population of this group is
now about 10000, and a complete
directory should include at least
10000 names. The official returns
will furnish not only the names but
also the residence and occupation
of each person, and other data re-
quired for such publication, which
can be obtained in no other way.
There are $1,000 voters in the
Kingdom, and the name of every
one of them should be in any cor
rect Directory. Yet no Hawaiian
Directory heretofore published has
contained more than one-third that
number of names, even including
several thousand Chinese in its list.
The facilities which the GAZETTE
Establishment possesses for execu-
ting work of this kind are unsur-
passed, as regards workmen, types
and presses.
The advantages of having
HAWAIIAN DIRECTORY AND
GAZETTEER printed in Honolulu,
are these:
1st-That the names and data
will be obtained from official re-
cords, and therefore reliable.
2d-The proofs can all be read by
persons familiar with the names and
places, and thus the many errors
found in such books printed abroad
will be avoided.
3d-All the persons engaged in
canvassing, compiling and editing
the book will be residents here, in
Guiding also the printers, binders
and others, and consequently in
terested in the success of the
publication and the progress and
prosperity of our country.
Each full page advertiser will be
entitled TO one copy Of the Direct
Dry gratis.
