A NUDE DEPARTURE.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-
As we are not well posted in legal
matters, we beg leave to ask, through
the medium of your valuable paper,
if there is no Jaw in Hawaii, prohibit
ing to expose oneself in public, in
father Adams costume, with, or
sometimes even without, a narrow
strip of cotton in lieu of fig leaf
AS one can see every day number
of japanese clad in this primitive
fashion, round almost every planta-
ton. How can Christian managers
allow, and the police be blind to,
such disgusting spectacle? What
Il sight, for honest Portuguese, and
young Hawaiian girls! We, amongst
many, protest against such a shock
ing and immoral federation as father
and husband. Prob PUDOR!

AN EXPLANATION.

At the request of one of the Scotch
team Mr.. G. J. Mccarthy. Referee
in the tug-of-war, has asked to make
the following explanation of an Incl
dent that occurred at the tournament
on Saturday evening:
When the teams had pulled for
lust two and one-half hours he, at
the request of a large number of
the audience, asked of the two cap
tains if they would be satisfied to
call it draw. They answered that
they would consult their teams and
proceeded to do 50. The Scotch
captain Immediately returned and
said "that he would consent without
asking his team. The German
captain then refused, and five min
utes later the pull was decided in
favor of Germany.
1t is asserted by friends OF the
Scotch team that they let 60 on the
understanding that there was an
agreement for a draw.

Has it ever occurred to
you what a desirable and
acceptable present a pic
ture makes? IF not lend
us your ear for a moment
until we explain: In the
first place everyone en-
joys looking at a pretty
picture ; itnot only serves
to beautify the home, but
appeals to ones better
feelings and forms excel
lent food for thought,
which nothing else can
give, and if the subject
be well chosen, serves as
a silent lecturer for good.
One need not confine HIM
self to any particular
style as the assortment OF
both styles and subjects
is unlimited and almost
any fancy can be graft
fed.
A picture has the pecu-
liar power of stamping its
image upon the minds of
all who may see it, and in
many cases leaves a life
long impression.
When making your
rounds of shopping drop

tel street,. and see what
they have to offer in this
line, if for no other pur-
pose than to enjoy what
is to be seen.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

Jadnr Dolr ncrtdr- that nthinat,h"
eannat Contract ~ surrender hi~
utWht - Ttrr. tdhrttt. 90 the fnr'
suit ~ Happiness.
Mr. Justice Dole has rendered 2
decision at Supreme Court Oham'
hers, on demurrer 10 bill m equity
to cancel or reform Il labor contract
at the suit Of Chong Chum against
the Kohala Sugar Company. The
plaintiff is one of the Chinese lmml-
grants landed by the bark PaetoIus
at MahuSona last July, under the
provisions of the amendment OF last
session TO the Act OF 1881 "to re-
guate Chinese immigration.
The bill of complaint states IN et'
feet that the plaintiff was not made
aware before leaving China of the
conditions without agreeing TO which
he could not land in Hawaii, and that
he only signed the contract at MANU-
kona under protest on being told the
conditions and, further, being told
by l.. Aseu that if sent back on the
ship he would be starved on the
voyage. 1t therefore prays for
decree declaring the requirement OF
the permit of entry and residence to
unconstitutional, enjoining defend
ant from further retention of the
plaintiff wages and for repayment
of the amount already retained, and
declaring the contract void.
The bill was demurred to on the
question of whether the grounds of
complaint were covered by the law of
1890, raising the question Of its va
lidity, and on the ground that the
conditions of the contract-requiring
the laborer's return and deduction
for that purpose from his wages do
not constitute duress on the part Of
defendant, if covered by the Act of
1890.
The Court finds that the contract
is required by the law, and therefore
the question is narrowed to one as to
the constitutionality Of the law of
1890. The following remarks are
led up to by an array of reasons and
authorities:
"Can an individual confer any
valid authority upon the Government
or other person to deprive him of
liberty or the freedom of acquiring
property, through the stipulations of
a contract? This question may be
answered by asking another, Can
an individual confer any valid au
thority upon another by contract to
deprive him of life? This l under.
stand is allowable in China, but
clearly it would not be legal here
without an amendment to the Consti-
tuition.
His Honor finds that the regula-
tions of the Act of 1890 set forth in
the bill, and all other provisions of
the same law requiring the assent of
the plaintiff to the terms of the per
nit as a condition to his landing at
Mahukona, are inconsistent with the
constitutional rights of the plaintiff,
and did not authorize his detention
on board the Pactoius or the com
polling Of him to execute his con,
tract. He concludes as follows:
"Th!s action on the part of the
agents OF the Government and of the
defendant, being unauthorized, the
circumstances under which the plain
tiff signed the contract constituted
such an interruption of his free
agency as to entit.e him to relief if
the statements of his bill are sus-
taine1,
''Ihe demurrer is therefore over
ruled. SANFORD B. DOLE"
A. S. Hartwell for plaintiff; W.
r. Castle and +. NJ. Hatch for
defendants.

The diversified Industries ser
les of articles is continued in this
issue. This time the peanut and its
cultivation are described. This is
an article of enormous and increasing
consumption. Where can anybody
80 without running against a peanut
stand? 1t is a favorite theme of the
burnt cork minstrel and the funny
Photographer, one of the staples OF
the train boy and the hawking nui-
sance at the circus. What will inter-
est our people most, however, is that
there is money in the peanut. From
a perusal of the article now present
ed, our enterprislng horticulturists
will be convinced that, once the
mode of cultivation has been mas
tered, they would have a very good
thing in the product.

Need of Bettcr Mark g t..

In the markets of Europe all food
sold is carefully inspected, and in this
way are the ! eople protected against
imposition. Let a man buy box of
berries or basket of fruit in Chicago
and nine chances out of ten he will be
swindled in everything but the top
layer. In Paris, rabbits, for instance,
are sold alive or with the skins on so
that the purchaser is sure he does not
get cat or a wharf rat. At certain
seasons of the year every egg is
handled several times, held to the
light by a food Inspector and sorted as
TO size, even. Every pound of butter
is tested and weighed, and all meat is
inspected at the slaughter houses.
Ten thousand street peddlers and
hucksters who traverse the streets are
subject to the stlictest regulations,
and this course protects food from con-
tamination and adulteration. The
municipal authorities of Paris act
upon the statement of Emerson's
old friend who used to express his
opinion Of the human family by say
ing Mankind is q ID rascal. >"
So far rs proper inspection of food is
concerned, we are in semi-savage
state. The ITalles Ccntralles begun
in Paris in 1881, and completed at
great cost, after twenty-five years,
give that city the best market system
in the world. Chicago needs some
thing SINH or, and cannot begin the
foundation of two or three great mar
kets any too soon. In the matter of
food inspection and systematized mar
kets we are behind the age. Chicago,
if she only would, might have the finest
markets in the world. She is now alb
solutely without an inspection even Of
the greater Iortion of her food supplies.

THEY WEAR BIG HATS.

The Women OF Anani Would Make Good
Thester-Gocrs for This Country.
At Anam, an empire occupying tle
Eastern portion Of the Indo-Chinese
peninsula, with population Of l5,OOO,-
900, men and women wear their hair in
the same way and dress almost alike,
says the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Like the man, the woman, wears the
turban, long tunic, wide, loose trous-
ers and a bright sash, the ends falling
below the knees. The physiognomy Is
almost the same, rs the men are beard
less and have their hair done up like
the women.
The only clew to distinguish them 10
the ear-rings and fngcr-rings, worn by
women only. The ear>rings are like
double shirt-studs and among the lower
orders are Of colored glass.
The wives and daughters Of mandar-
ms alone are allowed toweGr gold jew
elry. The rings are Of spiral wire,
Citing tight and standing cut to some
height. Some women Of tho uppcr
class wear also necklaces OF gold or
silver beads
The hat OF the wcneni h monumental.
1t is like large barrel cover, three
quarters of a yard in diameter. Six or
seven silk cords as thick as quill are
fastened ON each side, and when worn
fall down below the waist.
Where the ends are fastened to the hat
on each side Is o huge black or brown
silk tassel. Some Of these hats are
artistically made OF carefully selected
palm leaves and lined with neatly
plated Gag lcaycs. These are cxpen-
sive, especially when they have chiseled
silver clasps at the tassela
Many women fasten little round
mirror In tho hnt, before which they

roots and trunks of trees, the debris OF
the storm that had swept the land,
struck rider and horse and forced them
down the stream; but after twice near
ly giving up the struggle, the horse
gained its footing oa the opposite bank
