away.

In the case nf William COthren vs. Rnderirk Atwood, pending before the Supreme Court of Errors for New Haven county, the court handed down it's decis ion, March 8, erasing the appeal from it's, the Supreme Court of Errors own dock ct, on the ground that the plaintiff gave his own personal bond for $50 on the ap- peal instead of giving his bond with sure- ty. The effect of this is to send the case back to the Waterbury Superior court for another trial. This case has been considerably tried already. It was orig inally brought to the district court of Waterbury. That court appointed com mittee to hear the case. The committee found a balance due C0thren of about $264. From this decision Atwood ap- pealed to the Waterbury Superior court, and that court appointed committee to hear the case. This committee reported a balance in favor of COthren of about $400, greater than the other committee. Atwood's counsel objected to the accept ance of this report on a technical law point. The Superior court sustained the objection and refused to accept the re- port. Cothren then appealed from this decision of the Superior court to the New Haven Supreme Court of Errors, and gave his own personal bond on the ap- peal. The latter court erased the appeal from it's own docket because he did not give surety bond, as above stated. The case now goes back to the Waterbury Su- perior court for another trial and it re- mains to be seen whether third commit tee will follow the example of the last committee and raise the amount in favor of COthren.

EARTHQUAKES are frequent in Japan.
Such violent disturbances fortunately
occur but seldom, that is to say, ac-
ccrding to previous experience and
expectation, about one in every
twenty years. The last destructive
earthquake, however, our author OBJ
serves, took place in the autumn of
1856, 81 that alIeady twenty five years
have elapsed without recurrence,
and the old rule apparently no longer
holds. This was written in 1880, and
although in that year shock of con-
siderable violence was felt ii was not

perhaps ten pounds. l then started

improvement was seen and its con-

self believe the child's life was saved

THE GOVERNMENT OFFICES.

Cabinet Building-Through the fall
ing of the chimneys, the roof was Sc
verely damaged, and the walls crack
ed and fell off. The shock coming as
the Ministers of State were in CONSUL
tation sitting around a table, bits OF
plaster fell upon them rs they rushed
out of the room.
Privy Council Building "A chimney
fell, but there was very little damage
done.
Household Department-An official
on seeing the west entrance slightly
damaged, tried to rush out and was
injured. Attendants and boys were
so slightly injured.
Foreign office-The tiles fell off in
many places, and most chimneys have
leaned dangerously. Though the
Minister and Vice-Minister's resi-
dences are not perceptibly damaged,
the Private Secretary, Kure's, resi-
dence was seriously damaged, chin
ney falling through the roof, and the
walls having cracked, the rooms are
almost destroyed. Mr.. Kure's family
have left the house. The Private Sec
retary's residence has also suffered
through cracks on the walls, and, the
stones on she caves being almost dis
logged, the house is in great danger of
collapse.
Home Oepartment-Nearly the
chimneys have fallen, six of them
having pierced the roof into the rooms
set apart for the Bureaux of Public
Works, Perfectural Administration,
Police Supervision and General AT
fairs, and the Secretariat, while
building behind the Department was
completely destroyed. A paper-plas-
terrr was so seriously injured that it
is believed be has since succumbed.
Finance Department The Vice.
Minister and other high officials were
in council when the shock occurred.
They all ran out of the building, fol
lowed by the clerks. Clerk MiZuguchi
was coming down, when the staircase
came off, and he was 81 verely injured
in the thigh. An attendant jumped
out If a window, but jut as he came
on the ground chimney fell on top
of him and buried him in its ruins.
He was helped out and, after medical
assistance had been called, the two
men were sent 10 the Juntcddo Hos
pital. The clerk is expected to live il
his thigh can be mended. SIX chin
neys came down at the Department
and destroyed three buildings.
War Department-The chimneys of
the Minister and Vice Minister'S
rooms We're knocked down, aud the
walls in many places Were cracked.
Damages, however, were compare
ly slight.

way on both the north and south
sides. Here a japanese connected
with the school. and at the time in
the building, thinking it safer outside
no doubt, started to run out. He only
got away some three feet from the
door when a large part of the br ck
wall fell down, striking him on the
head and then crushing him almost
beyund recognition. He died in less
than an hour afterward. Another
student also received serious injuries.
Bishop McKim, who has his study in
the tower of the new school building,
was rushing down stairs when several
large bricks struck him on the head.
Fortunately he had a heavy stiff sum
mer h I on so that he was not serious
ly injured. The beautiful brick church
in Tsukiji, of this same Mission, was
badly injured. So was the new Theo-
logical Hall. Both will have to be
rebuilt.
Thus it is throughout Tsukiji, at
some places worse and at Others not
so bad. Most houses will have 10 be
replastered outside and inside.
Out in the city it is no better than
here. At one place ten are said to
have perished by falling debris. A
friend just sends postcard saying
that one student of his school per-
ished.
FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.
The earthquake here seems to have
picked out different sections of the
city upon which to show its violence
Tsukiji suffered very badly, there is
hardly house without some damage
to its chimneys. st. Paul's school,
belonging to the American Episcopa-
liam Mission, is badly wrecked. A
japanese teacher was killed in trying
to leave the building. Fortunately he
was about the only person in it. This
seems to be the one person hurt in
Tsukiji, though there were several
near escapes. Bishop McKim was
only saved by the thick sun hat he
had on.

the Observatory, the shock on We'd
nesday was severest at Tokyo and
Gummaken, and the center Of the
earthquake must be WITHIN these two
procedures; but as there is no meteor
logical station Gumma- ken, there is
no means # ascertaining the str ngth
of the shock in that province. Wed
nesday's earthquake is believed to
have been more severe than that OF
1855, but being of shorter duration, it
was less disastrous than that famous
calamity. The area of the shock was
also small.
GREAT EARTHQUAKES OF TOKYO.
The number Of great earthquakes
which caused great loss of life and
property since 1927 is seven, giving
an average of one every thirty eight
pears. Since the last great earth
quake took place in 1865, the present
year being the thirty ninth after that
calamity, such shock a. occurred on
Wednesday was only to be expected.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-07-20

shock occurred at night, and the city
WAS converted into a rubbish heap,
thirtv fires breaking out in various
ouari.rs aud completing the terrible
work of destru ton. For two weeks
the shoeks were almost continuous,
though of decreasing magnitude. 1t
is calculated that l6 OOO buildings were
oyerthrown, and 100000 lives lost In
that awful cataclysm. CurlousIy, lneh
as now, the area Of disturbances was
very limited, and it CAV substance 10
to the suppOsitiOn that the volcanic
agencies at work Oh Vries Island may
not hav- been altogether unconnected
with the disturban e. But OF tnat
we may have something to say here
after.
MANY KILLED AND INJURED.
The earthquake which occurred
about 2 o'clock on "Wednesday after
noon, 2Oth June, was a short one, but
as sharp as any experienced 10y most
foreign residents in Japan. One resi-
dent who had lived in earthquake
countries all his life-and where
shocks are of almost daily occurrence
said that be had never before ex-
perienced such shock. AS soon as
the violence of the shock was realized
people rushed from their houses into
the streets, and did not venture back
until there was little fear of recur-
renee. On the boats in the harbor, we
understand, the earthquake created
a commotion. That the shock was
not local one is shown oy the deaths
and damages to property at Tokyo.
Considering the violence OF the shak-
ing it is extraordinary that the dam
ages have not been greater in Yoko-
hama; but as it is the number of
fallen chimneys and smashed roofs in
the city is beyond count; while on
the Bluff thousands of dollars worth
of ornaments, ETC., have been des-
trOyed. these damages, however,
are insignificant compared with the
calamity which occurred at Messrs.

At noon on the FIRST Monday in De
cember the senate will meet to begin
the second regular session Of the Fifty
third congress. It will be tho third 40.
tusl session because of the extra one in
1898 called by President Cleveland soon
after beginning his term. A certain
formula is gone through annually in
each house.
When the hand Of the clock in on the
stroke Of 19, the vice presidents gavel
will call the senators to order. The first
thing will bo prayer. Next two resolu-
tions will bo passed. One will direct
the secretary Of the senate to notify the
house of representatives that the senate
is in session. The other will be to ap-
point the senate's members Of a joint
committee to wait on President Clave-
land and inform him Of what he is dead
sure to know already-thst the senate
is holding = sitting and is ready to re-
ceivs any communication he may be
pleased 10 make. The senate will then
take n roeoss till the committee comes
back The committee will probably in
form the senate that the president will
have a message for it next day. Then
the senate will adjourn till noon next
day.
In Eas house similar forms are OBJ
served There the speaker calls the
house te order, the chaplain prAys, the
roll ia called, and the clerk is Ordorod
to inform the senate that a quorum Of
the houso iE organized aud ready for
business. A committee is appointed to
join with the senate committee and go
and tell the president both houses await
his message.
On the first day of organization in
both housos new members elected to Gil
vacancies will present their credentials
and take the oath of Office. After this
has been done the house, like ths senate,
will adjourn till next day to receive the
presidents message. Next day the mes
sage is sent to both houses at the same
moment Immediately after they have
come to order at noon. Then it is like
ly that both houses will again adjourn
till noon on Wednesday.

business than it was when it caused TO
bo prepared and circulated bulletin
on the subject of food preparation. Our
enthusiastio poet statistician, Edward
Atkinson, in this bulletin slips joyous
ly TO the fore with his Aladdin oven
and his oil lamp heater and cooker, en-
abling a poor man to prepare dinner
fit for the gods at an outlay of few
cents. Atkinson's part Of the work
shows what every cook who has any
sense already knew-that in order TO
get tho best results most kinds of food
must be subjected to a moderate heat a
very long time instead of fieroo shrivel-
ing heat for a short time But very few
cooks have any sense in this respect. The
pamphlet contains illustrations of cook
ing tables and boxes that prepare de-
lioiouE food with the heat only Of a little
kerosene lamp.
Mrs. Ellen Il. Richards furnishes
10 the pamphlet what, If one were
speaking Of live stock feeding. he would
call balanced ration" And indeed
no living creature needs balanced ra-
tion more than civilized man docs all
over the world today.
The proper food 10 keep = human be-
ing in health must oontsin 20 much
carbohydrates or Etarchy matter. We
all knew that before, but the tTouble

ed, and for this purpose fats and oils
are necessary. Muscle building food is

A Thanksgiving Sermon.

Thanksgiving day, 1898, was a bright
and beautiful one in the home of GER
tain resident of one of the great cities
of this Union. He had been prosperous
throughout the year in spite of hard
times. His table that day showed it,
There was a turkey the richest, brown
est and juiciest that the market could
afford. The cook knew how to roast it,
go that it seemed to have been done to
turn in an old fashioned Dutch oven
instead Of in a drying, toughening Yam
kee cook stove There was mince pie
such as his mother used to make, better
than the old lsdy's, even, he thought in
his satisfaction. There was cranberry
sauce, with the skins strained out and
only rich jelly left. There was coffee
that gave off the odors Of Mocha and
Java, with whipped cream upon it the
thickest and yellowest There was cake,
with icing tender, yet crisp, so that it
ut once cracked between the teeth and
melted at the touch Of the palate. There
was wine of California, the rarsst vint-
age of the golden state.
The man was happy as ho ate, and
he ate till he almost saw stars After
he could hold no more he ordered an
other slice Of minoe pie. He finished
the feast. He arose from his chair and
slightly pushed it back to enjoy his
smoke As he did 30 he staggered and
then fell in a faint All efforts TO re-
vive him were vain. Ee had eaten SC
much that he was seissd suddenly with
paralysis Of the stomach, and it killed
him.

SardOu.

1t is a singular fact that tho famous
French dramatist, Sardou, owed his first
success on the boards to his excellent hand
writing. He had sent in his often rejected
play, LA Teverne des Etudiants, - to the
Odeon management for consideration, and
the manuscripts was thrown, with some
others, upon . table. One day at re-
hearsal the charming actress, Mile. Bor-
engere, was attracted by the handwriting
and took up the manuscript, crying, "Oh,
what an exquisite hAndl" She read the
play and recommended il 90 strongly to
the directors that they were induced to
read it and then aooept it. At the time
Sardou, now one of the richest literary
men in Europe, was starving. He had
gone through seven long years Of terrible
hardship and privation. Paris Journal.

says Dunn's Review, referring to general
trade for the past week. The gain IA slow,
an in some directions not very distinct,
but the signE oft are a little more definite
than last week. The most important OF
them is larger employment OF labor
answering g better demand on the whole
for manufactured products Much OF
this is due to heunnatural delay OF orders

SUICIDES PAWN TICKETS.


of Their Assured Profits.
The fact that pawnbrokcrs probably
make larger profits on the money they in
vest than any other business led the Char
ity Organization society Of Now York to
establish o mont de piote Of its own for
the purpose Of making loans TO poor per
sons at reasonable rates of interest. 1t has
not been great success There are less red
tape and oxasperating questioning at the
professional pawnbrokors', and therefore
poor folks prefer to trade with them. The
pawnbrokers' plea has always been that
when the cost Of storage is added to tho
loss sustained through unredecmcd pledges
but little Is left to them of the "a per cent
a year which the law permits them to ex-
act.
That part of their plea relating to uDre-
deemed pledges is merely blind to hide
their real profits. Isaac Simpson, who by
the snmo token is the original of tho 81
'original Simpsons" in tho pawnbroking
trade in this city, said TO the reporters
my rule in life is never to tell lie
What make in my business Is no ones
business but my own. Yet II any man in
my line says unredeemed pledges hre not
the chief source Of profit then he is liar.
Yes that suicide In whose pockets were
yesterday found Is pawn tickets" said
Mr.. Simpson, made the man who issued
them just that much richer. A suicide
without pawn tickets on his person il such
a rarity that we have come to credit about
10 per cent 20 that source. When the pa
pers report that suicide had pawn tickets
an agent Of the Associated pawnbrokerE
learns and reports by whom they were Is
sued. Such pledges are seldom redeemed
1. l. 1. L..
that the chance is about one in ten that q
pledge will be redeemed after the ticket
has passed from first hands. They seem
to anticipate trouble If they offer 70 re-
deem pledge other than their own. So,
you see, the pawnbroksr is about the only
one that gets richer by men killing them
selves. New York Advertiser.
