Mrs. Kineaid Tries Morphine, Choral
and Knife.
Mrs. Della Kincaid and her husband
John, who live in a lodgng-house at the
corner Of Third and Folsom street, have
sampled every delight and pain to which
the user of the opium pipe and hypodermic
syringe is heir. The woman yesterday
morning came to the conclusion that life
was not worth living and commenced to ex-
pertinent on her vital spark.
First she tried chloral, but that one Of the
deadly drugs had little effect upon her
saturated frame. She was restored to her
usual condition of semi intoxieaton by q
physician. Later in the day she tried to
use knife upon herself with felonious in
tent. but was prevented by occupants Of the
house.
Last night Mrs. KIncaid tried to lump
from a second-Story window in the house
where she was spending her wretched ex-
istence, but the residents again lnterfered,
and she was sent in the patrol wagon to the
Receiving Hospital, where she was treated
by DIR. Miner She said that she COM
menced to take morphine six years ago to
alleviate the pain from which she was suf-
fering.
While Mrs. KincaId was on her way 10
the hospital her husband, John, was Jour
neying toward the City Prison, where a
charge OF drunkenness was placed against
him, but II was apparent that he also had
dallled with the drug that had destroyed his
wife.

Joseph Nolan Would Like to Know in
Which Glass He Is.
After further hearing Judge Levy took
under advisement yesterday the application
of Auctioneer joseph Nolan to have a
homestead set apart to bin out of the $4,000
separate estate Of his dead wife. His ap-
plication is contested on the ground that he
was not the husband at the time Of her
death, but divorced yet living under one
roof for appearance sake and religious con-
sideratiOns.
Nolan was sued last week by one Of the
witnesses against him for breach Of promise
to marry her. This witness is a buxOm
widow named Mrs. Caroline FeTnall, who
had sympathiZed greatly with Joseph in his
woes, when she believed that he was sin
gle man. Several more witnesses were ex-
amined Yesterday and helped out the case
of the executor by showing that while No
Ian represented himself to be a single man
he paid court to eligible widows, with a
view to marriage, and took them out riding,
to theaters and suppers, more in keeping
with youthful ardOr than becoming q man
of three score years and more.
Mrs. Julia Connolly, curly headed little
brunette who had 10 admit that she occa-
sionally appeared at the Wigwam and took
a hand" at charming the public from the
stage, testified 10 having noticed the atten-
tiOns which Nolan paid to Mrs. FeInall.
Miss Ida Fernail, daughter of the widow.
also gave testimony in support Of the state
ment that Nolan had posed as a single man
and in that character had secured her moth
er's promise to marry him. Tie widow had
her say, and stated that Cupid first pierced
her heart when she met Nolan at public
sale, he being then in the employ Of Lam
thu auQtiOuper.

AFFAIRS IN HAWAII
A CALL reporter interviewed a gentleman
last evening who Is well acquainted in Hon
Olulu, and thoroughly posted on the affairs
Of Hawaii. Speaking Of the causes which
led up TO the present trouble. he said: 1.-The
main grievance s the change Of franchise
under the constitution of 1887, which, as you
remember, was secured by a Revolutionary
movement against Kalakaua's authority. and
which, while 1t deprived the King Of his
prerOgatlves, also curtailed the constitu-
hOnal privileges Of the subject to some
sxtent Under the old constitution, which
ne revolution OF 1887 abolished, the
NoDles were nominated for life by
The Crown, the Representatives be-
ing elected by popular suffrage. There
was very low property qualif-
Eation which did not prevent any one other
wise qualified from voting. Under the new
constitution the House OF Mobiles became
40 elective chamber, the number of Mobiles
beng increased to correspond with the Rep
TesentatiVes. BIT high property qualifca-
Zion was provided for the election of
Mobiles, and the native Hawaians complain
