Goes to the Reformatory for Ten Years.


The case of the State VS.. Lee
Stevenson, ON the charge of horse
stealing, in the District court Fri
day was strange one, and as he
was carried into the court room
some one was heard to remark that
'if any one ever needed to steal a
horse it was that boy" He had
both legs off at the knee, the result
of one of his escapades earlier in life,
having been caught stealing chick
ems and tied out in the cold as his
punishment, his feet getting so bad
" frost bitten that they had to be
cut off. He was convicted and
sentenced to ten years in the State
reformatory. He has a younger
brother, his partner in crime, but
he was so small that he was given q
thrashing at the time, the no legged
brother was put in Jail, but it did
not cure him of his meanness. They
were on Capt. T. C. Clay's place,
and after the horse stealing the little
brother got so much worse that his
father could do nothing with him
and gave him to Capt. Clay, who
sent him off on a sheep ranch where
there we're no other children for
him to lead astray.

Robbery in a Police Station.

Our San Francisco exchanges
tell of robbery of the Police
headquarters in that city, in which
the office of the Property Clerk of
the Police Department, situated in
the Old City Hall, was broken into
and rifed. The place was stored
with valuables and small amounts
of cash taken from the prisoners,
and the burglars reaped a small
harvest. The office is but a few
yards from the Chief of Police, and
immediately over the assembly,
room of Captain Douglass COM
pany. In this room the police on
duty are kept all night long, and
up to midnight there are always a
number of other officers aud loun
gers about the place.
Under the circumstances the de.
tectives felt badly broken up, and
as day after day passed and nothing
new was learned regarding the
affair their unhappiness increased.
Captain Lees and Detectives Sey
mour and Whitaker were specially
detailed on the affair, and recently
had the pleasure of arresting two
OF the three men who committed
the crime, and they stand charged
with burglary.

lenient heretofore, but he had an OBJ
iect in view; it was to work into the
individual feelings of all. The time
is coming when he would use his
authority, and then show them how
despotic he could be (waving his stick
several times in the air and then
striking it forcibly on the table,. You
can sit down I say.
+. 5. kEIKI: [ stand under the
rules, and [ am not going to sit down.
[ cannot tolerate unwise rulings from
an ignorant President; you had better
come to Waikiki and L will teach you
few lessons concerning your duties.
The speaker sits down, eying the
President fiercely.1
The motion to refer the report to
special committee of five was carried.
The President then appointed the fol-
lowing committee s. II. Meekapu,
chairman; Hon. J. X. Kahookano,
J. J. Tesla, John Poe, and J. Kanui.
Mr.. PALAU presented resolution
that the meeting nominate members
Of the Road Board.
w. g. ACHI thought that the ap-
pointment of members of the Road
Board should be deferred till the cleo
ton convention sit. The candidates
for mobiles and representatives should
be nominated at the same time. Our
number here present is small and the
public should be enlightened on such
an important subject as this. If I I'M
derstand right, between $4,000 and
100000 will pass through their
hands, and therefore the control of
such an enormous amount must not be
left to the charge of incompetent men.
The public will demand that their
money should be properly and wisely
expended. You perhaps do not exact
ly conceive the great Importance of
this office, but [ assure you the good
or bad condition of our city will de-
pend on their wise management.
So we must select upright
and honest men; men who
are capable of performing such an
Onerous task. Committees ought to
be appointed to go to the outer dis
tricts and hold meetings, where the
principles of this new office should be
explained to the people, so that they
may not vote blindly.
j. K. KAHOOKANO said that the
intrOducer of the resolution brought
this question for us to approve or not.
1t is for us to decide now whether we
shall bring it up for discussion.
A motion was put and passed that
the resolution be in order.
Mr.. KAHooKANo then moved that
the resolution be deferred until the
Nominating Committee bring in their
report, and this resolution be reported
at the same time.
The PRESIDENT announced that
the Nominating Convention would
ssit next Wednesday, and then report
their candidates for Mobiles and
Representative at the regular meet
ing next Friday evening.
+. J. TESLA presented a resolution
requesting the Treasurer to make a
full report of the financial standing of
the Hui next Friday evening.
Carried.

DANCE AT WAIKIKI.

Mr.. and Mrs. Allan Herbert gave
very charming dance at their Wal
kiki residence last evening, which
only those who had the pleasure of
participating in it can appreciate.
The large lanai furnished a perfect
floor for dancing, the guests retiring
between dances to the smaller lanai
overlooking the sea, where they
gathered In chatty groups, making
themselves thoroughly comfortable
in low arm chairs and enjoying the
view through the han trees out upon
the moonlit water. The evening
was not tempered to that delicious
languor so characteristic of Waikiki,
but the bracing quality of the air
was all the better for the dancers,
fans being hardly in requisition.
In the large supper room adjoin
ing the lanai, lemonade punch, and
a more sparkling fluid flowed freely
during the entire evening, the hos
pitality of host and hostess being
without stint. Wants Of a more
grossly material character were sup
Piled with sandwiches and salad,
cakes of the most delicate manufac
ture and cream.
Here where the "nights are whole
some," where "no fairy takes nor
witch hath power to charm"-except
indeed those fair witches framed es-
pecially for weak mans entangle-
mountaineering was kept up all
night long. The first streaks of
dawn warned the last guests of fly
ing hours and sent them home CRATE
full to host aud hostess, with their
able coadjutors-Mrs. Bone and the
charming daughter of the house-for
thoroughly good time.

The Chicago Fair.

A correspondent of the San Jose
Mercury writes the following re-
garding the expected rush to Chi
cago during the fair:
"Of course the main topic of con-
versation here is the Worlds Fair.
Chicagoans talk of it all day and
dream of it all night. Several
steamers run every half hour to the
selected location, and one can hear
the runners shouting, "All aboard
for the Worlds Fair Ground!' two
blocks away from the lake front.
On pleasant days these boats are
crowded with people, mostly visitors,
who are anxious to see the grounds,
many of whom, who if they are
without the necessary funds when
the Fair occurs, will, at least, have
the satisfaction of knowing that they
have seen the grounds-that is, the
grounds will be all they will get of
the coffee of hope. If all who are
laying plans to attend the great
American show in 1893 get within
the limits of the State of Illinois the
inhabitants will have to emigrate to
give them room. If one-half of them
get to Chicago visitors in that city
will be thicker than grasshoppers
around Sockless Jerry's Kansas
home during the month Of July.
A vast number of the would-be-
sight-seers will, of course, have to
stay at home, but a countless multi
tude will make the pilgrimage and
Chicago will be the Mecca for Amer
leans in '93, but she is elastic and
will expand enough to spread her
protecting wings over her guests, no
matter how many"
In an address at the opening of |
the Woodbridge canal in San Joa-
quin county few days ago the Hon.
W. II. Mills said: "We have yet to
produce enough of certain things
for the people of this State alone.
Last year 100000 worth of eggs
were imported into California. We
go per cent. of all the but
Ter We used. We imported large
amounts of nearly every article we
'aise except fruit. Vast quantities
If fruit, which are canned in other
countries, are sent to California
every year and sold. We raise hops
md barley and send them East to be
manufactured into beer, and then
IMPORT the beer. Hides are sent out
Il the State to be tanned, and we
IMPORT the shoes into which they
re made"

Tariff Picture-Plate Glass.

The protectionists are fond of telling how
much cheaper plate glass is than it used TO
be, and are trying to deceive the public.
The price has been greatly reduced in the
last few years, but the tariff was not the
cause of it, but it was improved machinery.
To show how much the tariff costs the con-
suner on glass, it will be well TO quote
figures.
Wholesale price Of plate glass last year
in America, per foot, was So cents.
In Europe, according TO the report OF the
treasury department, was 80 cents per foot.
The tariff tax on plate glass on an aver
age is about 100 per cent; on the largest
size il is al per cent. 1t will be seen that
the one or two plate glass manufacturing
companies of the United States make a
good thing and charge the consumers right
up TO the tariff; 80 from So leaves 81. They
get 81 cents a foot more for glass than we
would have to pay but for protection"
It is unnecessary to say that the home
manufacturers divided last year, besides
increasing their plants, million dollars or
u ore; 34% per cent, and their shares rot
in the market, but are estimated, 500
shares, $500.
That is the way people who dance to pro-
lection music pay the plate glass fiddler.
Over five millions of dollars is what the
people pay To two plate glass firms for
ssprotecton."
