Evans yesterday Al the Police
Court. and the penalty awarded is
the highest prescribed by the laws
as revised in 1890. The conviction
was inevitable, the evidence, at
least of unlawful possession, COM
plete. and the sentence deserved;
but the sentence should be shared
by the more guilty persons who
are concerned in the same guilty
undertaking, and who have as yet
evaded Justice. As was said of old,

flies break through, though the

alone was not concerned in the
purchase, importation and conceal
ment of the opium, nor was this
particular parcel the only one by
very far, that has been landed on
these islands, or on this island,
within the last few months.
The S. F. Chronicle of May lst
tells 4 tale not altogether unknown
here:
s'By the steamer Zealandia a story
comes 10 hand relative to the schooner
Annie Harley. The schooner cleared
from this port in February last on 4
hunting and fishing voyage. Nothing
was heard of her whereabouts until
early in the past month she was seen on
the island Of Oahu. The news now re-
ceived Is that at place called Larsen's
Landing. on the island OF Oahu, nearly
two tons Of opium were landed from the
Annie Harley. BY very strange coin
cidence the well-known smuggler Nhaiey
arrived in Honolulu from Yokohama on
the Japanese steamer OmI MaTu short
time before the landing OF the opium.
The notorious schooner Halcyon lett
Yokohama with cargo OF opium during
March, and it Is presumed that by pre-
concerted arrangement the Halcvon met
the Annie Harley at some appointed
place in the Hawaiian group and trans
ferred her valuable cargo.
Beyond 4 doubt opium has been
coached in several seldom-vlsited
spots on Maui, Molokai and Lanai,
to say nothing of Oahu. The
schooner then comes in for repairs
to Honolulu as empty CT opium as
of any signs of honest trade. and is
sold for 4 coaster to carry rice.
How very innocent The Hal
cyon herself not improbably landed
and cached opium, and was most
likely seen by several of our regu-
lar coasters. though the CIaudine
when commissioned for the pur-
pose failed to catch sight of her.
Whaley himself, as is well
known, took passage for San Fran
cisco by the last steamer, and viii
have 2 cheerful story to tell in San
Francisco of the probable profits
and improbable penalties awaiting
a welI-devised opium expedition TO
the Hawaiian Islands.
Evans himself bIuRdered red
handed, so TO speak, into the hands
of the officials. We have yet to con-
grituIate them or any of them for
cIeverness, energy, perseverance or
any Of the valuable qualities of the
crime-detector, latent, no doubt, in
their breasts.

They have done some good, but
some have done much harm, and it

Journalistic scavangers come here

enjoy, and everything possible is
done for their comfort. Then they
leave and return the favors by
throwing mud at Hawaii and her
people. OF course, occasionally, a
gentleman or lady connected with
a reputable journal visits US, and
they never abuse the rights of hos

The Fatal Full Hand.

From the Detroit Free Press
was watching game Of poker once at
Helena, Mont The players were a gambler
(whom knew slightly, who bore the soubriquet
Of Lucky Bill, y and two miners.
Suddenly. after the hands were dealt and the
players had '.chipped in" and drawn cards,
Lucky Bill, with perfect calmness and not so
much as the shadow Of a change in the express
sion OF his face laid his cards on the table, took
q notebook from his pocket and deliberately
wrote few words. Then he tore out the leaf
and handed it to me.
Look at that when you get home tonight"
His voice was steady, and did not betray q
particle OF excitement. l thrust the paper
aimlessly into my pocket and gave the matter
hardly q second thought.
The play progressed. Lucky Bills face was
unyielding as a stone and entirely unexpres-
sive. He noticed everything, however. and his
vigilant eye did not miss the slightest move on
the part Of the other players. He was typical
gambler and one Of the most successful of his
guild. Hence his sobriquet.
At last there was an alteration between the
two miners. Hot words ensued and revolyers
were drawn. Some of the bystanders inter-
fered at this point and in the scuffie that fol-
lowed heard the sharp whistle and ping Of o
bullet Lucky Bill (his good star in the de-
scendent) fell to the floor and expired. He had
been killed by the accidental discharge OF q
pistol in the hands of one Of the miners.

The lower classes Of the men Of Mexico dress
in cotton, but they wear blankets Of all the
colors Of the rainbow about their shoulders and
they drape these around themselves in n way
that adds dignity and grace to them. Many OF
these blankets are Of red flannel and IL you will

but 1t has to starve for them out there.
MOUNT WHITNEY.
Only fifty miles west from Death Valley
which is $50 feet below the sea level, Mount
Whitney, the highest mountain in North Amer
lea, uplifts its mighty peak. covered with per-
petual snow, three miles into the air. Thus
within days journey Of each other the lowest
and the highest point on this continent are
found. DR.. Merriam wrote the other day that
he had breakfasted on twenty feet Of snow and
was composing his letter to Secretary Rusk at
pm. In an altitude Of rather less than nothing
and temperature of ITO degrees Fahrenheit in
the shade. The expedition would be very glad
to ascend Mount Whitney, but the task is likely
to be an impracticable one. Above there are
depths Of snow which are continually precip-
itating themselves in avalanches below on the
lower slopes. The dissolving Ice has reduced
the ground to the condition Of q hopeless
morass, through which travel is altogether i'm
practicable. There is no path up the mountain
by which even mule could journey.
OPPORTUNITY FOR OBSERVATION.
In the region described is to be found q
most astonishing opportunity for the observa-
ton OF traveller, inasmuch as within fifty
miles he can pass through all the life zones of
the earth, from the hottest tropic to the frozen
arctic, and view not only the vegetation but
the beasts and birds of the various chimes ira
versed. 1t seems very strange to find upon
the submits of Mt. Whitney, the San Francisco
mountain, and other peaks scattered over
sne warmer parts of the earth, small col
onies Of veritable arctic life, both vegetable
and animal But this is explained when it is
realized that during period Immediately pre-
ceding the present and known as the glacial
age the entire northern part Of the world was
buried in ice. the ice-cap, which in places was
several thousand feet in thickness, extending
southwark as far as Philadelphia and below
Chicago. When this vast cosmic glacier re-
coded many arctic plants and creatures were
stranded on lofty mountains, where at sufi-
GENTLY lofty attitudes the temperature never
became too high for the continuance Of their
existence. For an example. the San Francisco
mountain In Arizona ID an extinct volcano, in
haDlted by plants and animals which could not
possibly have reached it since the glacial
period. Though an isolated peak rising out of
vast and Burning desert, its snowy top is q
veritable arctic colony.

From the London Globe
The facilities for marriage in Heligoland have
been greatly curtailed since it has become a
German possession. Among other conditions
both parties must produce certificates of birth
in order to prevent Jews being married
there. All who are under twenty-five must
produce legally attested written consent of
parents. or. if these are dead, certificate of
their death. Widows or widowers must pro-
duce the death certificate Of the deceased wife
or husband, and if they have children prove
that the property willed to those children is Sc
curely settled upon them. The entire expense
OF marriage in the island is about 200 marks.
In spite OF these conditions, marriage in He'll
goland is a much simpler and easier affair than
in Germany
