CLARKE's LEGAL TROUBLES.
The Counselor Not Yet Liberated
From Jail.

Counselor Alfred Clarke has not yet got
out of Jail. He has not yet succeeded In
showing to Judge SeaweIl that Judge
him for contempt of court
He appeared in court yesterday morning
in charge of Deputy Sheriff and desired
to resume his argument at once. But
Judge Seawell was busy and could not
hear him there and then, so Clarke agreed
TO return at 80 P. NJ.
But when that hour arrived. and court
had been especially convened for his ben-
eft. 10 Clarke appeared. The judge
waited in his cham bers, but it was on the
stroke of when the delinquent counselor
arrived in court in custody as before, and
followed by the young lady who acts as
his clerk with pile of lawbooks.

was the Judges rejoinder.
"Will your Honor kindly note an excep-

Judge Seawell's patience gave out at
this, and Clarke gathered up his papers
and returned to jail. Before going there,
however. he appearedi before Judge Nor

SWEETHEART, FOReEARl

.Sweetheart, forbear!" Thus said I to my dear.

The light of maynard fancy on her face,
And some half smile, half tear;
Nay, silence is not peace;
'Twere better far than this wholly to cease!
If / should know no more
The rapture of revolt, the joyous strife,
The free, unfettered air l breathed before"
So we long time assailed with hot debate,
And kindling voice and word.

striven-
Fore knowledge. freedom, fate.

Hand clasped in hand, without a word we

Knew a strange calm enfold our doubt with

And Cil the stress and conflict stilled and past.

How Corn Was Ground ut One Time.

The watermill is older than the wind
mill, but prehistoric corn-such wheat,
for instance, a Pytheas, the first trav-
eler from civilization to Great Britain,
saw the natives of Kent drying in large
sheds on account of the absence of sun
was ground in hand mills, as is still done
in the east. Quernes, as these mills are
called, are frequently found in the CYCLIC
pean underground dwellings of Scotland.
Their simplest form consists of two thin
circular stones, the upper of which is
pierced in the center and ~revolves on a
wooden or metal pin inserted in the low
er one. The grinder. dropped the grain
into the central hole with onehand, whilo
the other caused the upper stone to re-
volve by means of a stick inserted in a
small hole neal the edge.
The l.boriousness of this operation is
we'll illustrated by a story told of Colum-
be-. He was studying under st. Fnnian,
and every night on which it fell to his
lot to grind the corn with the querne he
performed his task so quickly that his
companions enviously asserted that he
had the assistance of an angel in turning
the stone. Wilson thinks that at this
time the early part of the sixth century
the querne was the only mill in use.
Large water mills were introduced in the
thirteenth century into Scotland, and
legal means had to be employed to rem.
der their use compulsory.-Gentleman's
Magazine.

A native named Keliikanakaole
was found dead in his house at
Iwilei, below Oahu prison, yester-
day morning. Keliikanakaole and
his friends drank ava root at his
house on Saturday evening. After
drinking a quantity of ava, they
then directed their attention to a
bottle of gin, which they emptied
in a snort time. The deceased went
to bed early, while his friends con-
tinued enjoying themselves until
about midnight, when they de-
parted for their respective homes.
During the early part of the
evening, the wife of the deceased
left the premises and slept at a
neighbours house, she being dis
gusted at the hilarious conduct
going on at her house. At s
o'clock yesterday morning his wife
returned home and found her hus-
band lying dead on the bed. Her
cries attracted the neighbors, who
came to see what was the matter.
Deputy-Marshal Brown empanel-
ed coroner's jury yesterday after
noon, which rendered the following
verdict:
THAT the said Keliikanakaole
came to his death on the 30th day
of September, 1898, by alcoholic
producing paralysis of
the respiratory centers."
Keliikanakaole was 30 years old.
His funeral will take place this

4 Submarine Torpedo Boat.

1t is now well settled that the
Navy Department will soon author
ize the construction of submarine
torpedo boat of the Holland type.
The committee having the matter
under consideration made a sup
Elemental report to the Secretary
of the Navy recently en-
phasizing its conviction of the
superiority of the Holland boat as
compared with the Barker boat.
The report recommends that the
Holland Company be instructed to
have their proposed boat built at
some responsible ship yard and
that it be awarded the contract at
its price of $4,000. OF the $780,
600, appropriation $4,000 was
intended for the boat and $4,000
for experiments. Numerous ex-
periments have been made by for
eign navies with submarine boats,
but none has yet been discovered
that meets with approval. The
Holland boat will be able to des-
cend to a depth of about sixty feet
and will make about ten knots
under Water.-Washington Star.

BOYS PROSPECTS IN THE
NAVY.
How apprentices Are Paid in
Vessels Owned bY the United
States.

Boys Of good character, who
have no physical defects, and who
can read and write fairly well, are
admitted into the navy between
the ages of IA and Is years, says a
writer in Harper's Young People.
Between IA and 10 years a boy
must measure 4 feet 9 inches in
hight, and weigh not less than 20
pounds; between 10 and 16, feet
II inches, and so pounds between
10 and Il, 8 feet / inch, and 90
pounds between II and is, five
feet 2 inches, and 100 pounds.
They must serve till the age Of 81
as boys and junior seamen, and
after that age they rank as seamen
or petty officers. They are now al
lowed sum of $45 for outfit, a
fact which considerably enhances
the advantages Of the service. To
discover the exact number of petty
officers on board a fully equipped
ship is by no means an easy task
but, at all events, the number Of
these minor prizes is encouragingly
large, while still higher up, as the
final goal of the common sailors
aspirations, are the substantial
berths of the four warrant-officers-
held by the boatswain, the carpen-
ter, the gunner and the sailmaker-
whose pay and privileges are the
same as those of the Junior officers.
And now as to the rates of pay:
The pay of boys enlisted as third
class apprentices is so a month,
the next promotion, to second
class apprentice, brings $40; the
next, to first-class apprentice, $11
month. Further on we have
second-class seamen apprentices,
with $40 a month, followed by
first-class seamen apprentices, with
S24 month, these two grades cor
responding respectively to ordi-
nary seamen and able seamen, OF
simply seamen, whose pay is also
$40 and $24 q month. It can thus
be seen that a frst-class seaman
apprentice and an able seaman get
each the respectable sum of $2SS a
year, which is S12S in excess of
the highest sum paid to a first
class seaman in the British SER
vice, the only other navy in the
world worth consideration on the
score Of pay and promotion. There
is, besides, the daily ration of
thirty cents, which runs through
the ship from the apprentice to the
commander, for, strange as it may
appear to some people, Uncle Sam
distributes just the same fare to
the officers as to the apprentice,
and, that, too. only when on sea
duty. There are no other allow
ances whatsoever made to the Off
GERS they have to furnish all their
OWN mess equipments and every
thing else.
