murder of Langford Summers at Garfield
November 5. is92. would be granted. but
deiaped naming the court 10 which the
trial will be transferred till December Il
The petition for a change was based on in
ability to obtain a fair trial for Hill in this
county. Over 40 affidayits were flied To
sustain the claim. many being from the
most prominent citizens of the county.
The prosecution mad filed afsidavits of 500
citizens that Hill could have fair trial.
1t is thought Judge Sullivan will name
Wa!la Walla as the place of trial.
The case against I'LL is very strong. On

field. Langford Summers endeavored TO

when Hill made an attack on him, stab
bing him with knife. Summers died
and Hill escaped from the officers. hu. was
captured in Arizona. where he escaped
again while an officer was waiting the re-
suit of a writ of haeeas corpus suit. He
gave himself up last March and WAS
brought back. and has been in Jail here
ever since. Last July on two occasions
mobs collected with the purpose of lynch
ing him, but were frustrated by the watch

From that action. the said Coy appealed 10

Elaborate Dinner Gowns.

Dinner dresses are this winter *
tremely rich and magnificent. Velvet,
satin and brocade Of gorgeous hues are
bordered with sable and priceless lace,
and gold and silver embroideries give adj
ditional brilliancy. The bishops purple,
SO much admired, keeps it's color well
under artificial light and is seen at its
best when subdued by the lights and
shades that play over the thick pile Of
Genoa velvet, and the same may be said
Of the moss green's and sapphire blues,
which are apt to look harsh and obtru-
Eive In silk or satin.
Some of the paler tints, moonlight
blue, seagreen and cedar are also very
beautiful in velvet, as well as the shot
opalescent tones that defy description.

hameha made him minister Of finance, and
he remained such till Lunalilo became king
in 1878 and made him president of the board
of education. King Kalakaua promoted
him to the priyy council, and in 1876 he
was made minister of the interior. Nine
years later he had charge of the Hawaiian
exhibit at the New Orleans fair, and in 1891
he was again made minister of finance.
When he arrived in Washington and was
presented to the president, March is, 1892,
his speech was such that it now reads like
al argument for annexation, as he dwelt
particularly on the close relations of Hawaii
with the United States and the general de-
sire there for closer relations DR.. Smith
married q New Hampshire lad Miss Dom
inis Patty, and has had six children edu-
Gated in New England. One daughter is a
graduate of the Harvard annex, two Sons
are students in Harvard, and two are at
school in Boston, while one is in Germany.
Yet for himself he prefers life in Honolulu.
In the intervals of official duty DR.. Smith
is often in New England and a frequent
visitor to his brother, DIR. N. B. Smith of
New Haven. His position forbids his say
ing much about annexation, but his views
on the future Of Hawaii are reported as not
at all hopeful.

CoIlORING OF WALLS.
How to Make the Rooms Most Attractive
and Pleasant.

How to Make the Rooms Most Attractive
and Pleasant.
Tt is slowly dawning upon the deco
ratively inclined woman that the funda-
mental law of household beauty does not
relate to carpets, hangings, chairs or cab
inets, but to the coloring of the walls.
Vain are fine rugs and etchings of ex-
quisite scenes, vain are shelves Of curios
and divans with cushions of inviting
contour, if the walls beof the large flow
cred variety or resemble an ancient patch
work quilt in the number of hues with
which they are covered.
There are q few general principles,
says The Decorator and Furnisher, in
accordance with which the walls of a
room may be treated so as to produce an
artistic result. the chief factors in de-
Gliding the color are the size of the room
and the amount Of light it receives. In
rooms which face the north the north
light, which is whitish to blush in color,
requires that the walls be decorated in
luminous tints ranging from orange yell
low to a red.
Rooms with O southern exposure, conE
versely, should be papered or painted in
tints ranging from greenish yellow to
blue. Rooms facing east or west should
be decorated in yellow, as east and west
lights have yellow and purple in their
composition.
A hall should be done in strong, dark
colors, while the rooms opening off it
may range from the deep, rich tints suit
able to a library to the pale ones Of bed
rooms and boudoirs. Pompeiian or Da-
mascus red is a good color in a hall.
Russets, browns, dull yellows and tans
are also suitable. For libraries rich col
ors are always desirable, as, for example,
reds, browns, golden green's and orange.
For dining rooms soft reds and browns
are good, as are also combinations Of
blue or green with silver in small fig
ures. Bedrooms require the paler shades
Of all colors.
All walls on which pictures are to be

COMING TO THE FAIR.
How Southern Republics Will Be
Represented at Chicaoo-C Coffee
Culture.

Though it hardly seems possible to the
most interested observer, it is said to be
certain that within three months the
Worlds fair will not only be opened, but
everything will be in place. The work OF
installing exhibits has already commenced,
and vigorous efforts are being made to
hurry things along. Passenger conveyances
have been excluded from Jackson park,
and visitors must now go on foot. Midway
plaisance is the scene of greatest activity, 50
buildings being in course Of construction
there.
Work is well advanced on the reproduc-
ton of the ruined Mexican palace of Militia,
for which ground was broken only a few
days ago, the walls being ready for roofing.
Other buildings show similar progress, and
q number are entirely finished.

h position of the Hawaiian minister at
Washington, DR.. Mott Smith, is one of pc
culiar delicacy. Hewasappointed by Queen
~Liliuokalani and arrived in Washington
not quite a year ago, but now finds himself
without a queen. In such cases the usual
rule is for the diplomat to maintain his
ran till the government he is accredited to

Then his position is only an informal one
till he is commissioned anew or another
man takes his place.
DR.. Mott Smith is a native of New York
