, Negro ,yoman,s Wonderful Hair.

Hearing the statement made III Holly
Springs that remarkable negro woman
freak lived only few miles from this
town, your correspondent determined to
obtain the facts in the case.
A middle aged negress greeted the visit
or. The woman is quite dark, of a pro
nounced African type Of physiognony
5 feet inches tall, and in fair health, but
has never had any children. She wore a
white cotton turban tied about her head
and tucked in at the back to support the
immense weight of her hair. This she re-
moved and laid upon the table and I'M
wound the braids of her wonderful hair,
which went many times around her head
and dropped upon the floor.
1t was indeed an amazing sight. Three
braids almost as thick as q mans arm
close to the head, but tapering to the
thickness of a finger at the ends, closely
plated and measuring s feet inches,
braided as it is, in length. It looks a
good deal like Spanish moss, but Is dark
er, crinkled and grizzled, coarse and al
most repulsive to the touch, suggesting

Men Are Not Interesting Invalids.


Women take only too kindly to the
role of an invalid; the sofa, the feecy
white shawl, the little cups of beef tea
or plates Of oysters. Once let a woman
taste the dreamy pleasures of this sort
Of existence, and unless some shock or
sense of duty rouses her she will calmly
continue for the rest of her days in the
pleasant path before her. She smiles
sweetly at the little attentions offered
her, she dresses in the d est of semi
toilets, and she looks SO pretty and gen
tie and patient that it seldom dawns on
her husband that the existence is an ig-
noble one. But let my lord fall Ill, and,
oh, dear, what different tale to tell!
The valet comes flying from the room
followed by boot, the cook gives notice
because the master called the beef tea
"beastly stuff, )" the housemaid is i'll tears
because she is not allowed to sweep or
dust the sickroom. Man, noble man, is
pitiful object when he is sick. Get
him thoroughly i'll and he is better pa
tent than woman, but if he Is merely
laid up for day or two with cold or a
| bilious attack he persistently kicks in
stead of wisely enjoying the rest which a
| benefcent nature has imposed on him.

A Remarkable Statue.

Some years ago mclodrama was be-
ing performed in a country theater, the
chief actor in which had made himself,
from his naughty and overbearing con-
duct, disliked by all. In the last scene
he was supposed to visit the tombs of his
ancestors. In the center Of the stage
upon a marble pedestal stood the statue
of his father. A heavy fold of drapery
covered the figure. Enter Albert, who
thus addressed the statue:
lam here once again to gaze upon
those features which in life so often
looked on me with tenderest affection.
Father, thy mourning son now comes to
paw thee alteration. Let me remove the
veil which from the vulgar gaze shields
the beloved image of a once dear parent"
Off went the drapery and. behold! the
father stood upon his head! The effect
cannot be described. 1t was electric.
The shouts Of laughter which followed
the mistake Of the super effectually put
an end to the scene, which changed tC
the next as quickly as possible, amid the
ieers of the audience, the anger OF the
manager and the uncomfortable rage OF
the actor.-London Tit-Bits.

In many instances this life is that of a

the wild, hilarious career offered by a

such a man does not understand city

COURT CHRONICLE.
Editor Sheldon Remanded to the
Custody of the Marshal.

A. NJ. Brown, attorney for plain
tifis, has filed in the Clerks office a
withdrawal of the suit of Castle
q Cooke VS.. Waikane Ranch Co. and
Lincoln McCandless, garnishee.
The Supreme Court has rendered
a decision in the Holomua editors
habeas corpus case. 1t came up on
appeal from the decision of Circuit
Judge Frear, since promoted to the
Supreme Court. A writ of habeas
corpus had been petitioned for by
G.. G. Kenyon, on behalf of j. G. NJ.
! Sheldon, editor of the Holomua,
held by the Marshal for contempt
against the Executive and Advisory
Councils of the Provisional Govern
ment. The decision of Judge Frear
remanded the subject to the custody
of the Marshal.
The grounds of the petition were
as follows: That Sheldon should be
discharged because the warrant was
not valid and sufficient, as the Exc
cutive and Advisory Councils had
no power to authorize the issuance
of the warrant; and insufficient be-
cause, though signed by the chair
man, it did not appear that the
Councils had authorized its issu-
ance, and because it did not specify
| the grounds of arrest, that is, the
nature and particulars of the alleged
| contempt.
The Court takes up the grounds
and holds as follows: "The courts
of this country are not at liberty to
discuss the question of the legal
existence of the government of
which they form part, and the laws
of which they are called upon to
administer We take judicial notice
of the fact that these Councils are
the Legislative authority and the
only Legislative authority of the
Hawaiian Islands"
1t had been held that the power
of the British Parliament to punish
persons not members for contempt
was derived from the ancient Judi
cial functions of that body. There
was doubt if the United States
Congress could legally punish non
was not given in the written Consti-
tuition of that country. But there
was no doubt Of the power in the
case of the existing Legislative body
of Hawaii, as it had passed an Act
giving itself the power to punish
outsiders for contempt.
The Court further holds, in oppo
sition to the pleas of the petition
that the Councils did authorize the
issuance of the warrant. 1t adopts
the finding of the decision appealed
from, that the warrant sufficiently
specified the grounds of arrest, anC
concludes: at appearing that j. q
NJ. Sheldon, on whose behalf the pc
ttiou is made, is held under a valic
warrant of arrest issued by compe
tent authority, he is hereby remand
ed to the custody of the Marshall

Patent Elastic Seam Drawers

We want to call the attention
of our patrons to Il novelty which,
from the favor it has been re-
ceived with, we believe has come
to stay and become an indispen-
sible article Of gents furnishing.
A glance at the cut above will
show ut once the superiority of
goods made in this manner over
those heretofore in vogue.
ScRIvEN's PATENT ELASTIC
SEAM DRAWERS are provided
with an Improvement consisting
of an ELASTIC INSERTION at the
inner and outer seams, which
gives elasticity in movement and
comfort in fit. The drawers are
cut in figure outlines and afford
the wcarcr all the advantages of
knit goods, while retaining the
superior comfort of woven fabric.
The PATENT ELASTIC SEAN,
which CONTAINS NO RUBBER, re-
tains its springincss and wears
longer than the other portion OF
the garment. 1t makes tn,
drawers conform to the position
of the wcarcr and avoids any
strain, no matter what attitude
the body assumes.
1t will also be found that these
PATENT ELASTIC SEAN DRAWERS
are equally well adapted to al
athletic positions and allow the
greatest freedom and ease O
motion. In the position as
sumed in the cut, not the leas
tension is produced on the main
portion of the goods, while the
elastic seams allow the transfer
nation Of the figure as seen il
the position, which would be i'm
possible in others without pro
ducing great strain on the good
and friction upon the person.
We have now Il complete stool
of these goods in all sizes, am
can recommend those made o
the material known as "JEAN
to be the coolest and best adapt
ed for those persons who do no
care to wear wooden fabrics.
They say that there is 'noth
ing new under the SUM-" but tn
fellow who said that was al
wrong. He forgot "Gent's Fun
nishings," they're always max
