JUDGE HICKS CHoLRR.
He Allows 1t to Slip in Trying a
Case.


In the criminal court yesterday morn
ing Robert T. Melville, held for forging
the name of w. W. Townsend to a note,
was brought before the court and
changed his plea from one of not guilty
to guilty. He was accordingly remanded
for sentence. MelYllle's attorney made
an eloquent plea on behalf of his client,
incidental to which there was mice
little scene' between Judge Hicks and
the attorney.
A touching plea for the family of the
prisoner was given by Melville's at
torney. who stated that his client was an
American, of good parentage, mad borne
a spotIess reputation, ana that at the
time the forgery was committed it ap-
peared that his mind was not quite
right. Judge Hicks suddenly awoke to
what was going on around him and dis
covered that it didn't suit his ideas. He
accordingly administered one of his
periodical wholesale roasts to the at
torney and all attorneys in general.
Said he:
You have no right, counselor, to
impose upon the court by making such
remarks. If you think he is insane you
must withdraw your plea of guilty
and have him tried. l want to say right

FLANDERS NEW SCHEME
To Establish Central Pound
Station and Save Money.

Station and Save Money.
1t is likely that the council will at its
next meeting do away with the present
system of impounding stray animals,
which necessitates a force of seven
poundmasters. The matter was dis
cussed vigorously at the meeting held
last Monday night, and was finally
turned over to the committee on police
to suggest some plan. Most OF the
aldermen are of the opinion that 1T is
money wasted to employ seven pound
masters when great deal of the work
can be done by patrolmen.
Aid. Flanders, of the Eighth ward.
has conceived a scheme which has been
concurred in by Mayor Eustis. The
plan is to build central pound station
and appoint a poundmaster to be in
regular attendance. The patrOlmen
would then be delegated to catch any
and all strayed animals seen by them
and turn them over TO the pOundmaster.
This system would do away with the
poundmasters and prove Il stroke Of
economy for the city.

Another woman, believing that
her person is in danger from the
possession of such valuable dia-
monds when travelling, pins them
IN the folds of the window curtains
and hides them under the corners
OF rugs. The next morning she
has forgotten the precise spot, and
after ransacking the rooms in a
state OF comparative frenzy, and
perhaps losing train, the missing
jewels are found.
A woman in Paris hid her dia-
monds in slit in a mattress. The
diamonds, after week or so, had
made considerable tour of the in
terror of the mattress. Not being
found, the maid who attended to
her room was charged with theft;
detectives were called in. A pretty
embroglio was set in motion, when
the enterprising landlady had the
mattress opened and the diamonds
were found. People who do not
own diamonds have this compen-
sation, and it should not be lightly
valued--they do not have to take
care of them.-Ex.

The Hawaiian Death-Prayer.

Upon the minds of such priest
ridden people as the Hawaiians we're,
while under their ancient form of
religion, it was but natural that
superstition should gain a rooted
hold. The most curious and effec.
tive belief to which they were made
subject was that man can be
prayed to death-a belief that sur
wives among the natives to the
present day. For the success of
the tragical death-prayer it was nee
essary to obtain some hair or piece
of finger nail of the intended VIC
tim. A priest was then employed
to use incantation and prayer for
his destruction. The efficacy of
prayer was terribly illustrated in
these cases and the results prove
how deeply superstitious fear was
implanted III the Hawaiian's heart.
Always informed of the doom that
the priest was invoking upon him,
the victim generally pined away and
died.
There is a story current that an
Englishman in the service of
Kamehameha |, having incurred
the displeasure of a priest, the latter
proceeded to remove" him by the
death-prayer process. The Anglo
Saxon, however, set up an opposi-
tion altar in derision, and jokingly
proclaimed that he intended to pray
the priest to death. Alarmed at
the threat and overwhelmed at the
failure of his own incantations, the
sorcerer died, proving by his death
his faith in his religion.-E. Elles-
worth Carey, in April Californian.

Disease in Paper Money.

Two Cuban doctors have recently
examined notes Of the Bank of
Spain for disease germs. They Sc
lected money that had bee n in cir
culation some time and was worn
and dirty. On two notes were
found, by estimate, 10000 microbes.
Some of them were cultivated in
broth and gelatine. They were
then injected into rats and guinea
pigs, most of which died in twenty
four hours. The post-mortems
showed peritoiitis and congestion
of the liver and kidneys.
An American bacteriologist, DR..
Graham, of Columbus, o., has been
examining well-worn United States
currency for germs. On a dollar
bill of 1878 he found three kinds OF
bacteria. A dollar-bill of 1885
showed two kinds. A two-dollar
bill of 1885 gave one bacterium.
Another dollar-bill Of 1885 develop
ed two kinds. These bills were OBJ
tanned in Columbus and were much
worn and very dirty.
DR.. Graham put a dollar in an
envelope and carried it in his pock-
ct a month. No opportunity was
given it to become infected. The
culture from it showed two kinds
Of bacteria.
The next experiment was with a
bill mailed from New Orleans
Growths Of three kinds of bacteria
developed.
ut must not be understood,
DR.. Graham says, ''that when
speak of one, two or three kinds OF
bacteria these were the whole num-
ber of heterogeneous OH any one
bill. Though only one kind OF
bacterium may have developed
from this culture, there were nearly
always large number of colonies
For instance, one of the bills sent
from New Orleans showed at th,
end of FIVE days thirteen colonies
of two kinds of bacteria. AS | used
only five-hundredths of the whole
amount of water in which the bill
was washed, there would be thirteen
times 500 bacteria, or $500 micro

organisms Oh the piece of money.
1t remains yet to determine the
nature of these various microbes.
The results already obtained are
sufficient TO warrant me in calling
attention to the danger there is of
disease being transmitted by our
circulating medium. The more
worn the money is the greater will
the danger be, as the roughened
surface of an old bill affords an ex-
cellent lodging place for germs.
The result of the examination of
the bills sent from New Orleans
also show the mails may be a means
of transporting disease microbes. y

Hawaii-nei.

Like the clustered Pleiades shin
ing in the neck of Taurus, Hawaii
and her sister islands lie midway in
the North Pacific" writes Mary
Gray Umsted, in the April New
Peterson, in an exhaustive and
beautifully illustrated article OH the
Sandwich Islands. Drawn closely
together as if in friendly sympathy
and the bonds of fraternal spirit,
there they rest in complete isolation
from any other shores, silent wit
nesses of the mighty workings of
those strange mysterious forces
which, before the days Of mans
supremacy on earth, upheaved con-
tinents and uplifted mountain
peaks, and are even now slowly and
silently altering the face OF this
apparently immutable mass Of mat
ter. For this little group of islands
rose from the sea, not as did Venus
Anadyomene in all the radiance Of
her beauty, but rather like the Gre
ations of her ugly husband Vulcan,
from the fiery furnace of the earth's
workshop, to grow into gradual
beauty and habitableness, through
the patient seasons waxing and
waning. And they still bear every
where the marks Of their volcanic
birth-throes, from the dead burnt
out crater Of Haleakala to the fam
ing furnace Of Kilauea, where the
fire is quenched not day and night.
But the patient seasons have done
their work, and now these lingering
traces of natures convulsions live
side by side with an efiiorescence Of
tropical bloom which shows all the
stronger in contrast to this seamy
side, and clothes the bleak lava for
nations with beauty into SEM
blance of the isles of the blessed
In the first place, the island
group lies OH the other side the
Tropic of Cancer, where the sky is
always blue, the flowers in perenni-
al bloom, and the sun perpetually
shining. At least, if this be not
quite true, it is as nearly true there
as it is anywhere outside the visions
of fancy of the imaginings of hope,
while the climate is as nearly per-
feet as we may ever expect to find
until the gates of Paradise reopen
for us. Everywhere is different
variety of climate-on the different
islands, on different sides of the
same island, at different heights,
whether the level of the sea or the
tops of lofty mountains; but every
where the same delightful character
istics are found-purity, salubrity,
equability. The torrid heat of
the sun is tempered by the encir-
cling ocean and the trade-winds
which blow through the greater
part of the year-healthful invig-
Grating breezes that scatter all
miasma and destroy the germs of
every disease. 1t is an ideal climate
for the health-seeker."
