We regret to notice in the reports Of the
lecture delivered Ia Baltimore BY Mr.. RuTo
BAoE KoocHoS. the distinguished Buddhist
no mention OF perhaps the most interesting
passage In that lecture In speaking OF rein
carnatlon. he said: Thus proceeding along
tho successive lines Of development or reEres-
sion OF the Individual portion Of the universal
spirit the plant and Initiative spirit
may become an angle OF reflection, q
shadow. an echo. q parrot o photograph. q
cuckoo. Mark. however. that owing to the
faintness Of the Individual in these cases. the
process OF reincarnation must be frequently
repeated. and with little to gain. The cuckoo
that may be seen at Washington differs in no
interior esseptials from the tame cuckoo that
sat on the fist Of NEEBo VI Of the third
dynasty"

The Power to Sentence Sutherland.

The crime Of oppression. for which KEN
METH f. SUTHERLAND has Just been tried.
Is q misdemeanor, and in a.misdemeanor
the trial may be proceeded with In tho alb
sence OF the defendant. In a felony how
ever. the presence OF the accused through
out the trial Is essential.
The Code Of Criminal Procedure OF this
State provides that il a conviction be for

judgment may be pronounced In his absence.
Before the enactment OF any statute to
this effect. the old rule in this State. as laid
down by Chief Justice SAVAGE Of the Su-

IRWIN was occupying himself with examin-

determining whether the bar that OBJ

Pearl River harbor is the deep. spacious.

the island Of Oahu. about a dozen miles
from Honolulu. which our country has the
right to fit up and use as a naval and coal
ing station. Its proximity to the capital Of
the Islands: Its fine anchorage. sheltered on

But. after all. Pearl River harbor no long

The Auditorium Poet.

II there are persons who care for neither
grand opera nor grand poetry to such we
do not now speak. We address those who
love both. whose souls burst into flame at
the great word that sings itself. or is sung
by person employed at large salary for
that purpose. The discovery OF a poet
doesn't happen every day. and when 1t
happens. dae record OF the fact should
be made. The poet now discovered. or
rather rediscovered by US. Is SYLvANUs F.
BILL OF Chicago. long known In the West
as the Auditorium Poet. For seven or eight
years Mr.. BILL was the special poet and
stan singer OF our earnest contemporary. the
Inter Ocean. In a noble poetic prose. whose
free neck bore no degrading collar OF metre.
he sang OF the Michigan Gothic chairs OF the
Auditorium. the palaces OF Prairie avenue.
the coming OF great actors or singers. the
opening OF ice-cream emporiums. or what
ever other event In the impetuous life OF
that metropolis moved him to song. He was
the greatest of occasional poets. Then, like
Waring In Mr.. BRowNNG's poem. he dis
appeared. We don't know whether illness
or travel or long. lonely meditation has
occupied his later days. Enough that he
has returned. bringing sheaves with him.
The first article in the northeast corner OF
the first page OF the Inter Ocean OF last
Tuesday. revealed the Auditorium Poet in
his best form. The lines were full OF passion
and pean and SAPPHo singing with the
nightingale. Eagles and pinwheels. Roman
vistas and Roman candles. pinions and
paradises. pops and gurgles: why. the man
never made louder report. 1t was the
real stuff. The first chant is this:
