DISCHARGED.
The Two Chinese Charged with
Murder are Set Free.


All Sing and his wife, You Moe,
were on trial yesterday morning in
the Police Court on charge of
numbering an infant child. Judge
Foster after hearing the testimony
decided that there was not evil
dence enough to commit the de-
PENDANTS for trial before the Su-
preme Court and so discharged
them.
DIR. Wood in his testimony stated
that the infant was strangled, and
that he thought it was of Chinese
parentage although he was not GER
tain of that fact. A Chinese hack
man named Hong Soon informed
the Court that the defendants keep
a store at Kawaiahao near Queen
street. Some time in January he
was hired by the defendant to
carry him to Waikiki. They left
for that place in the morning be-
tween 4 and 5 o'clock. When they
arrived at their destination Sing
alighted with a bundle and was
absent about half an hour. Wher
he returned he was empty handed
The last witness was All Wo. He
lives near the defendants store
and had dealt with them. He de
clared that the woman gave brit
to child in January and that HI
had seen it. He also stated tina
the child has disappeared as h
has not seen it since the montl
mentioned.

How to select n Turkey.

In this country only is the turkey
found in II wild state. 1t is very fitting,
therefore, that in the Thanksgiving
dinner it should be the principal dish,
writes Maria Parloa in her department
in the Ladies Home Journal. The tur-
key must be wisely chosen, well cooked
and properly served. 1t should be short
and plump, the meat white, with some
fat. the legs black and smooth, and If
there be spurs they should be short.
The end Of the brcastbonc should be
flexible, more like gristle than bone A
turkey that is long in proportion to its
size, and has dark or blueish flesh, may
be tender. but certainly will not be fine
ly favored and juicy. dry-piclled tur-
key will be found to have much bet
ter flavor than n scaldcd one. All poul-
try that is dry-picked costs few cents
IL pound more than the scalded. but is
well worth the extra price.

Queer Maryland surnnmes.

The eastern shore of Maryland has
been SO little disturbed by immigration
that the region numbers comparatively
few surnames, SO that ut various times
it has been necessary to resort to odd
but very ancient dcvines to distinguish
between men bearing the same name
The commonest device is the patronym-
ic by which of two men bearing ex-
actly the same Christian and family
name one is distinguished from the
other by the addition "of William, (" "of
Thomas" or 'of john" as the case may
be, the meaning of the phrase being
''son of William. Thomas or John. /"
Another device once commonly en-
ployed was to couple with the name an
adjective to indicate some physical pc
culinrity, rs ''long" to indicate tall
man, black" to Indicate dark man or
'red" to indicate q ruddy man. Occa-
sionally the distinguishing word is I'M
complimentary. Devil" is not an un-
usual prefix to the Christian or surname
Of IA man having reputation for vice
or recklcssncss. a man bearing one of
the best known names in Maryland car

Big Model of n uoney-Bee.

The model of a honey bee, measuring
four and n half feet from sucker to
sting and six feet across the wings. has
been received from Paris by the bio
logical department of the university of
Pennsylvania. 1t is intended for the
instruction of the students. The insect
is perfectly articulatcd, and the wings,
head, thoray, and abdomen can be
taken apart with the fingers. Moreover,
the head may be opened so as to dis
play the brain within. Every organ,

How serpents Move.

King Solomon acknowledged that
there were three things which are too
wonderful for mc-yea. four, which I
know not" and one Of these was the
way of serpent upon Il rock" For
hundreds of years after the time of
Solomon the snakes mode of pro-
erosion remained mystery. Latter
day men of science have learned that
his snakeship's ribs furnish him with a
means of progression. So. instead of
having pair or two pairs of feet"
they really have from one hundred and
fifty to two hundred pairs. Aristotle
thought that serpents had as many ribs
as there arc days IN n. month. but had
he examined q python he would have
readily detected his mistake, that

are moved forward that end is raised, so

1.-THE Pen Is Mightier than the Sword"
That the above question is very apt
and true one, becomes daily more evi-
dent. Not only by the writings of
poets, authors and statesmen have we
proof of this, but in leading articles
written by clever and enterprising ed
itOrs of the daily papers. The power
of the press is unlimited, and it's influ-
ence for good or evil upon the people is
incalculable. OF the evils we shall say
nothing, but that they exist there is no
doubt. We wish to speak only of the
good that an honest and independent
paper can do-a paper that is not con-
trOlled by any political ring; one that
is not cOvertly Oh the side of Syndicates
mOnOpOlists and boodlers but will
boldly champion the cause of the peO-
pie regardless of political opinions
We have an example of what the press
can do in the case Of Iams, the soldier,
who was cruelty ill-treated and dis
missed from the service by man who
by virtue of his position as an officer
should have had more control over his
malicious temper. and not resort to
such diSgraceful means of punishment.
He knew that it was beyond his power
to have the man whipped, SO instituted
mode of his OWn-hanging him up by
the thumbs. Men like him who can't
maintain discipline without resOrting
to cruelty should never be put in a posi-
ton where they can exercise their petty
spite and tyrannlZe over their interiors
in rank. The press the world over took
the side of private IamS, though he was
only private, and so doing proved
that it takes more than gold epauletS
and silver-mOunted sword to make
an officer. The press has helped to
abolish much injustice, it is doing so
tO-day-it has helped men on to fortune
and to fame. Statesmen, though their
power be sometimes great, would have
hard fight were the press combined
against them. We should know very
little of the different laws that are made
and passed were they not discussed, and
their merits and defects freely laid be-
fore the people by the argus-eyed re-
presentatives of the daily papers. Mr..
Gladstone in his noble struggle for
Home Rule has been not only encour-
aged but greatly aided by the press
the world over. When the people, or
the individual, has a just and true
grievance, and the papers take it up
they will do more to investigate and
eradicate the evil than all the governors
in all the states combined could do.
For the voice of the press pretty nearly
means the voice of the people.

though not in the sense that Whitman
was. His mission was to champion
the cause of the lOwly, and to speed on
their cause of justice and freedom
NObly did he fulfill that duty, sparing
neither friend nor foe where moral
principle were concerned. Nor would
he equivOcate, but launched forth his
burning words of indignation in man
ner that showed that there was behind
them a spirit that could no more be
shaken than mountain. And again.
how sweet are his songs of faith and
devotion which sing themselves into
the heart of every one who has in his
bosom the spark of religious sentiment.
We might well ask where will another
such epoch come with so many great
lights adOrning the field of literature.
Truly the loss is greater than we can
probably estimate; yet, they are not
lost to us, for their spirit still lives, and
will continue to live and move the
hearts of men, though the earthly form
they animated will rest beneath the sod.

been to the wOrld!-and how slow the
world is in appreciating their full
worth. I'VE never miss the viOlets till

INSOMNIA.

Slumber, hasten down this way.
And. ere midnight dies.
Silence lay upon my lips,
Darkness on my eyes.
Send me fantastic dream;
Fashion me afreSh:
Into some celestial thing
Change this mortal flesh.
Well know one may not choose;
One is helpless still
In the purple realm of Sleep:
Use me as you will.
Let me be frozen pine
In dead glacier lands;
Let me pant, a leopard stretched
On the Libyan sands.
Silver fin or scarlet wing
Grant me, either one;
Sink me deep in emerald glOOMs.
Lift me to the sun.
Or of me a gargOyle make,
Face of ape or gnOme,
Such as frightS the tavern-bOOr
Keeling drunken home.
Work on me your own caprice.
Give me any shape;
Only, Slumber, from myself
Let myself escape.
