The Bohemian.

All classes and trades of men
have burdened the world with their
wants and their woes save the bo-
hemian. Who ever knows of the
struggles Of the men whose brains
are their only tools, of their heart
aches and despair, their bitter dis
appointments? Who knows of their
battles for the bread they need?
Now and then some poor, weak
soul, wearied by a woe too great,
seeks from another world a justice
owed him here. Bohemia mourns
him day, there are possibly few
lines in some newspapers saying
that "overwork," which is diplo-
matte language for underpay, killed
him, and all is over. Or, may
chance, the weirdly humorous tale
over which you laugh so heartily,
recounting the adventures of a poet
in search of a purchaser, had for
its basis q personal experience of
the author. He could not sell his
poem, but must have bread, and so
out of his misfortunes he made
good cheer. His adaptability is
one of his peculiarities. The or
binary man rebuffed by fortune
would sit down and mourn himself
into an illness. The bohemian

both he and the world are the

hind many of the tales that make
pass pleasantly an evening by the
fireside. The bohemian is not a

nor trader on the sympathies of a
world that does not understand
him. He contributes his brains

SUPREME COURT.
The wilder Company Wins One OF the
Kahului Fire Gases.

In the matter of the application OF
George Titcomb for a writ of habeas
corpus, it was held there is no offense
known TO our law as IAN assault with
dangerous weapon" A verdict, the
mittimus corresponding, finding the
defendant guilty of such an offense,
is void. The sentence must be void
upon it's face in order to entitle the
petitioner to discharge on habeas
corpus.
IL a sentence within the jurisdic-
ton of the court and regular on its
face, he found by an inspection of
the record to be not responsive to the
indictment, it is voidable and can
only be set aside on appeal or by a
writ of error, and is not cognizable
on habeas corpus. Let the prisoner
be discharged.
in the case of Pow Kee against
the Wilder Steamship Co. for the
non-delivery of goods, destroyed by
fire, it was held that in an action
against common carrier for non de-
livery of goods destroyed by fire, the
carrier being by special contract ex-
empt from liability for losses by fire
not due to its negligence, evidence
of changes in the general conduct of
its business made by the carrier after
the fire is inadmissible to show neg
ligence at the time of the fire.
The acceptance without objection
of bill of lading is evidence of the
shippers assent to a provision con-
tanned in the body of the ball ex-
empting the carrier from liability for
losses by fire not due to it's negli-
gence. A consigner prima faeie has
authority to bind the consignee by

SIGN THE ROLL.

Since the organization OF the an
nexation club its membership and
influence have rapidly increased.
From the first it has been a pro-
nounced American organization,
but it has not at any time been ex-
clusively so. Its membership takes
in most nationalities domiciled here
and there are none except Asiatics
whose names are not welcomed up
on it's roll.
The object of the club is to Sc
cure annexation to the United
States of America upon such terms
as shall include and benefit all
classes of our citizens. 1t would
exclude none from any of the ben
efits to be derived by American
residents under annexation.
To the native Hawaiians the club
saws. Come into our ranks. help US
fight the battle for the advancement
of our island civilization. and
when this is won enjoy with US the
civil and commercial fruits of
annexation upon footing OF poll
teal equality. This has not been
desirable or practical under the
depressing influences of the mon
archial form of government which
has. at all points, stunted the So
cial and political development OF
the native people.
The time has now arrived when
every resident of Hawaii should
beqin to see his individual inter
ests are nearly akin to the princi-
,le of annexation-in other words,
to national prosperity. There
are many whose names are not yet
ON the clubs roll who do see 1t,
hut who hold back because, per-
baps, they are not American resi-
dents or on account of some similar
a-cnse TO such we say, go inspect

NEW ELECTRIC COMPANY.
The Franchise Purchased BY
Hall d. Son.

The sale of the electric light and
power franchise took place yester-
day at noon in front of the govern
ment building. There was but
one bidder, w. w. Hall of the
Hawaiian Electric Company. He
offered the upset price of q per
cent. of the gross receipts from all
electric light and power furnished
to consumers, and it was knocked
down to his company.
The franchise is to run for ten
years. 1t is the intention of the
Hawaiian Electric Company to go
to work Immediately and make
the necessary arrangements for
securing large plant. In all
probability the works will be estab-
lished on the esplanade, if a suit
able location can be secured. The
company will have to materially
increase their present capital to
carry on their proposed work, as
they intend to purchase O. large
engine, boilers and additional
dynamos.
The company will hold an i'm
portant meeting tomorrow morning
at the office of E. o. Hall & Son.

One of the inconsistencies of the
anti-annexation fight carried on by
royalist journals is the bitter and
senseless manner in which they all
denounce everybody who happens
not to agree with their ideas of
restoration. Leading German resi-
dents are condemned, conservative
Englishmen are scored, the Portu-
guese are pointed to contemptuously
and sarcastically as the scum of the
earth, and the appearance of an
American upon the scene causes a
very howl to go up, in several diff
ferent languages, whose meaning
cannot be interpreted, without
knowing the nationality of the
writers!

q source of much qualification. The
painstaking character of the inves-
LEGATIONS being made is one of the
most noticeable features of the new

committee just returned from the
leper settlement not only contains
a practical working plan, but it is
backed by clearly expressed de-
termination, on the part of the

out all necessary improvements and
reforms without fear or favor in
any direction. This is as it should
be. but not as it has sometimes
been in the past.

No Missing Link.

Professor Rudolph Virchow, the
well-known biologist, is one of those
who receive with caution the proofs
of low order Of man uniting him
to the ape, and in a recent speech
has pointed out that all the low
type bxulls yet found resemble
those OF modern aad civilized races.
We are still seeking in vain for the
missing link"
He admits that the human body
in an animal organization governed
by the same laws as the bodies of
animals, but recognizes different
barrier separating man from the
animal, namely, heredity, which
transmits to children the faculties
of their parents. All men having
a simian appearance are simply
pathological variants. The Eskimo
and Terra del Fuegan heads, form
erly regarded as low, are now
known to belong to perfected types.
The Andaman skulls, and those of
the Veddahs Of Ceylon, were once
thought to be low, but although
they are small they are of good
shape. A single race, the orang
simaings and orapg cekai of Ma
lacca, still remain unstudied. Mix
luke Maklai, the Russian traveller,
has reported that they are small
and have curly hair, and an eXpe-
dition has been sent to investigate
their anthropology.
Professor Virchow has received Il
skull and a few locks Of hair from
the party, and as far as he has ex-
amined them he regards the stock
as that of black race with curly
hair. The head is broad and of
moderate capacity, but does not
present the segment sign of bestial
development. According to Profes-
sor Virchow there is no proanthro-
pos or man-monkey. The missing
link remains a phantom of the

A case of considerable interest
to British sailors has recently been
decided at New York. A seaman
named Henry, who shipped at Car
diff on board the steamship NAL
vern, left that vessel on her arrival
at Boston, declaring that he had
been subjected to ill-treatment, and
also that, being a minor, he was
not bound by his articles. The
British Vice-Consul, before whom
the case was brought, decided that
Henry was a deserter. Henry,
however, brought an action for the
amount of the wages due to him,
and Judge Nelson, of the United
States Court, has now declared that
the Vice-Consuls judgment is not
final, since the treaty of 1892 be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain does not give him sole
jurisdiction. 1t is, therefore, re-
garded as possible that Henry may
recover the amount which he
claims.-Am. Elk.

BISHOPJOYCE.

We are indebted to Zion's Herald for
the very interesting sketch of Bishop
I. w. Joyce, D. D., who is to preside
at the Conference to be held in Bar
ton, commencing on wednesday OF
this week. The likeness, which also
appears, is said to be a very perfect
one:.
Bishop Isaac w. Joyce, D. D., LID,
was born in Hamilton Co., Ohio, Oct.
II, 1886. In 1850 his parents removed
to Tippecanoe Co., Indiana, and from
that time until 1880 the Hoosier State
was his home and the field of his Ia
bors. He was converted and joined
the Methodist Episcopal church, July
%, 1852, when only sixteen years of
age. After completing the course of
study at Hartsville University, he was
admitted to the Northwest Indiana
Conference, Oct. 4, 1859. From that
date until his election to the episcop-
acy in 1888, with the exception Of four
years spent in the office of presiding
elder, he was continuously in the pas
torate. During this period he filled
the most important appointments IN
his Conference, and in 1880, was one
of it's delegates to the General Confer
ence In the fall of this same year he
was transferred to the Cincinnati Con-
ference, and stationed at its most
conspicuous appointment : st. Paul
Church of the city just named. After
three years of most successful labor IN
that charge, he was appointed to Trim
ity Church in the same city. At the
close of the pastoral term there, he
was returned to ST. Paul, and was in
the midst of of an unusually successful
second pastorate in that important
church when elected to the episco-
pacy.
Bishop Joyce was preeminently
successful in the work of the pastor
ate. While stationed at College Ave.
Church, Greencastle, Indiana, his in
1uence for good upon the students in
attendance upon the then Asbury Uni
versity was unbOunded. Through his
labors and wise counsels scores of the
Young men were led into a Christian
life and started upon careers of great
usefulness in Christian work. While
pastor of st. Paul, Cincinnati, that
church enjoyed the most extensive
revival Cincinnati Methodism had
known for many years. An almost
equally great awakening attended his
ministry at Trinity Church. 1t is safe
to say that no Methodist minister ever
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1893-04-17

stationed in Cincinnati made a greater
impression upon the city at large than
did DR.. Joyce. His influence was felt
throughout the Conference, and to a
large extent throughout the State.
So great had been the impression made
by his labors, that after eight years of
service within It's bounds he was elect
ed by the Conference one of its dele
gates to the General Conference of
1888, and by that body, by the largest
vote ever given to any man in the
history of Methodism for the office,
was elected Bishop of the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
EsAs a preacher Bishop Joyce is nat
urally inclined to be somewhat meta
physical, but his love for souls and
earnest desire for their salvation new
er fails to set his metaphysics on fire.
He is always thoughtful, clear, and
logical, but the predominating trait of
his preaching, and that which often
times renders it glowingly eloquent,
is his intense zeal for the salvation of
men. A sermon preached by him at
Omaha during the last General Con-
ference, which the writer was prlv1-
legged to hear, produced condition of
enthusiasm and religious emotion in
the audience such as is seldom equaled
in these latter times.
AS an administrator Bishop Joyce is
wise, firm, and yet exceedingly kind.
He is possessed of a great heart which
beats in profoundest sympathy with
every itinerant Methodist preacher.
He has himself passed through almost
every phase of an itinerant's life, with
it's accompanying trials and perplex-
tiles, and therefore can enter deeply
into the experiences of his brethren.
He is always easily accessible to the
humblest minister, and without pat
ronizing effort makes every member
of the Conference over which he pre-
sides feel that he is is indeed friend
and a brother. His late official visit
to our European Conferences and
missions was triumphal gospel tour.
Wherever he went, although COMPEL
ed to preach through an interpreter,
his warm heart, burning words, and
earnest manner aroused the ministry,
quickened the laity, !, and led to the con-
viction and conversion scores Of prec-
ious souls. If such results shall follow
upon his presidency over the Vermont
Conference - and we believe they
will = his first official visit to New
England will prove an untold bene-
diction, not only to our beloved Meth
odism, but also to the cause of our
common Christianity.
