THE scREEcH OWL
Mice Form n Large Portion OF the Food
of This Bird.

OF This Birds
The screech owl belongs to a group
of birds that are readily distinguished
from all other classes. Like most
other families OF the animal kingdom,
some birds of one family usually grad

writings with the spirits of those who
have shaken off this mortal coil. In
addition TO the halo of superstition
that surrounds this bird, its reputa-
tion as chicken thief condemns all
owls as public enemies, and conse-
quently most farmers lose no time in
destroying every kind OF owl that APP
proaches the dwelling.
The subject of this sketch Is among

ABOUT CHESTER A. DOYLE.
IN DEFENSE OF THE JAPANESE
INTERPRETER.
The Facts in the Case Briefly Stated by
Friend-How the Japanese Was
Rightly Convicted.

EDITOR STAR: Mr.. Chester A. Doyle,
the genial and able Japanese inter-
prefer, just after his departure for San
Francisco on the last Australia, which
sailed June 23d, was made the subject
OF most unwarranted and damaging
was perfectly apparent that not only
had he conceived most diabolical
scheme OF obtaining reward offered for
the conviction OF the person setting fire,
at Horner's plantation, Lahaina, to a
field of cane, by committing perjury
himself, but that he had suborned
japanese to substantiate his UNANIMOUSLY
false statements and had then suddenly
departed for foreign shores, forgetting to
settle accounts with his confederate.
The facts are briefly that Mr.. Doyle
had procured himself to be placed in
the cell of the accused in Lahaina in an
apparent state of intoxicated insensi-
bility and then the supposed confeder-
ate of the accused was permitted also
to enter the cell. Never dreaming that
the seemingly insensible foreigner could
understand word they said, they
freely conversed ABOUT the fire and the
statements of the accused were ample
admissions of his guilt. When the ac-
cused was confronted the next day by
Mr.. Doyle who spoke in Japanese to
him, he became violently agitated.
1t was thought best to try to get jap
anese evidence in addition to that OF
Mr.. Doyle. Accordingly Japanese
was confined in the cell of the accused
in Oahu Prison, and he again admitted
his guilt.
There were circumstances connected
with the burning which were suspic
ious and strongly pointed to the de-
PENDANT as the person who did the das
tardly act. The jury was out only few
minutes and brought in unanimous
verdict OF guilty.
:, The Advertiser had published full
account of the affair and had highl.
complimented Mr.. Doyle for his yer.
excellent work, but no sooner was Mr.
Doyle's back turned than this astonish
ing article appeared. The writer TO
, the Advertiser must have had col,
SILVER run down his back when upol
the return of the Australia last Satur
day morning Mr.. Doyle, whom he neve
{ expected to see again, stepped smilingl
down the gang plank; and no wonder
for no more wanton attack was eve
made in the columns of Honolul
newspaper than that upon Mr.. Doyle.
The Advertiser has published a
4 editorial wholly generating MI
e Doyle and fully apologizing. 1t
t hardly necessary to add that those VIII
n knew Mr.. Doyle did not hesitate for
n moment to stamp the article as il
:. famously untrue.

The Empire was out nj ety-one days
when word Of her reached here on Sat
urday. The reinsurance offered on her
WIS taken at 10 per cent, but the rate
would have jumped had she not been
heard OF this week. Now that her con-
dition is known, the rate ls liable to go
still higher, for shipping and insurance
men concede that she is in very bad
way. She is a wooden ship, and as she
was leaking at the rate Of three inches
an hour when she left Honolulu and had
her crew in irons, it is not thought that
there is much hope for her.
Shipping men here are at loss to
understand the action of Captain Davies
OF the Empire, and say that he must
have been little short of mad to have
left Honolulu with his ship and crew in
such condition. Even if all Mate CASH
ds 8 reports were not true, the fact that
the crew were in mutinuus state and
were penned up below remains. The
mate does not know what was done on
board the vessel during the four days
she was at Honolulu. 1t is possible that

when the vessel got to sea as their only
fight was for food. That this is not the
case, though, would seem to be more
likely, as, if stores were taken on. the
crew would have been released before
the men from the Philadelphia left the
ship. With all the crew at work the
men would have their hands full man
ming the pumps, without considering
working the ship.
