ton of a jury to try native
cases here looks as though it
might be growing serious to
the fellows whose names grace
the calendar. AS the consti-
tuition does not provide that
natives shall be tried by Ha-
waiians, though it isa custom,
and citizens of that nationaii-
ty cannot be procured if a
remedy is needed it may be
found only in an act to be
passed by the present Advisory
Council.
In some parts of the United
States, New York for instance,
to be eligible to jury duty, a
man must be a citizen of the
United States, a resident of
the district in which he is
called and be the owner either
in his or his wife's name, Of
two hundred and fifty dollars
worth of real or personal
property Citizens are Great
ed by law and natives do not
become citizens until the
statutes make them such. In
this instance the taking of the
oath to support the present
government is all that is
necessary. This seems to de-
eide the question whether a
change in the form Of govern
ment nullifies the citizenship
of the people" 70 become a
citizen now, one must be
politically born again and the
result Of last Mondays mid
wifery was that all but three
Of the panel died "a bornin."
The only relief for this state
of affairs seems to be in
amending the constitution;
men do not become criminals
until they are convicted of the
charges on which they are
tired and until such convic-
ton they are entitled to
certain rights. Il they are
not tried within a certain
time they have a good strong
kick which must be recog-
nized by the court. We
cannot see where the taking
Of the required oath to support
the government is a guarantee
that the verdict rendered will
be according to the law and
the evidence, the result the
court and attornies should
strive to obtain. The Judi
ciary being considered above
politics it must not be sup
posed that the court would be
a party to increasing the num-
Der of supporters of the
government by any such pecu-
liar methods.
If you can get an article
that Will DO all and more than
another will at the same price,
it seems reasonable to decide
that the more versatile is the
one to be used. The I'D. & D."

Discovery of Old Manuscripts Written by a
Danish AstrOlOger Centuries ago.

Discovery of Old Manuscripts Written by a
Danish Astrologer Centuries ago.
Some old manuscripts have just been
discovered in San Francisco of wonder
full Importance. These manuscripts
are the production of one Peter Han
sen, noted Danish astrolOger, who
lived through the end of the sixteenth
and beginning of the seventeenth cen
turtles. He was a contemporary and
correspondent of Johann Kepler, the
great German astronomer, Basil and
other learned men OF that time. He
was also a nephew and pupil of the
celebrated Danish astronomer, Tycho
Brahe, and lived in Copenhagen i'll the
years 1894 to 1912 The discovered
Hansen manuscripts are in possession
of q descendant, Olaf Linnberg, who,
however, knew nothing of their nature,
although believing them of great i'm
portance. Mr. Christian Andersen, an
accomplished Danish scholar, has ex-
amined these old papers and found
wonders in them
Part of these manuscripts are of the
greatest Importance to the American
people at the present time. But first it
will be well to Sow the value of these
calculations and predictions. The great
plague of 1G641GC is clearly foretold,
with cumulative disaster on London,
indicating the great fire more than
half a century in advance. Lilly bor-
rowed from this. The French revolu-
ton and the rise and fall Of Napoleon
are clearly predicted and with entire
precision in the designation of years
These are accompanied by charts and
diagrams, apparently of terrestrial AMI
celestial combination. On one of these
charts is heavy line from the French
frontier of Moscow. The fall of Ma
poleon is told with the force of Ian
guage of a prophet. 1t says:
1.-The conqueror shall become naughty
and despotic, drunken with ambition,
leading his victorious hosts through
fire and blood as a glutton revels at
feast. Then shall he penetrate the
north for new conquests, passing be-
yond the lines of his suspicious star
and two stars of evil omen coilErant
him. His victorious banner shall withcr
like dry twigs in a blast of ire He
shall stagger back before a hurricane
OF destruction. tattcred, bleeding and
torn, and fall PROSTATE to the earth
Yet shall he rise again, in the furious
agony OF dying giant, to sink forever,
as choking in sea of blood
Among the other predictions in these
old documents are the destruction of
Lisbon by earthquake, the extinction
OF the papal temporal power, the
Franco-German conflict and other great
natural and political commissions.

GENEROUS TO De LESSEPS.
The Suez Canal Company's Provision TO
the Aged Engineer and His Family.

The Suez Canal Company's Provision for
the Aged Engineer and His Family.
1t is truly characteristic of the warm
hearted and forgiving nature of the
average Frenchman, says the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, that not word of
protest should have been raised any
where against the grant by the Suez
Canal company of an annual allowance
of about twenty-four thousand dollars
to the De Lesseps family, even those
whose entire fortunes had been swal
lowed up in the disastrous Panama en-
terprise expressing their satisfaction
at the measures thus adopted to pre-
serve their illustrious cOmpatriot from
want. Notwithstanding all reports to
the contrary, the De Lesseps had
actually been reduced to penury, and
their situation was most precarious.
Not only all the shares which Ferdi
nand de Lesseps possessed in the Suez
Canal company, but even his fees as
director, the annuity assigned to him
personally by the company, and all the
money he had been able to lay aside,
were attached by the liquidators of the
Panama bankruptcy. The only re-
sources that remained at the disposal
of the countess were the house which
she owned in the Avenue Montaigne
and the Chateau de la Chesnaye, both
of which were more source of eX-
pense than Of economy, and were
mortgaged up to the very hilt besides.
With the object of averting all dan
~ h hn of ho
count the allowance just granted by
the Suez company has been made in
favor of the countess and of the thir-
teen children of the count. The two
eldest of these are Charles and Victor,
who are the sons of his first wife. Of
the eleven children of the present
Countess de Lesseps three are serving
in the army, one is married to that
Count de Gontaut-Biron whose finan-
cial difficulties were theme of much
discussion in the Partisan press two
years ago, and the remainder are still
dependent on their father and mother
for care and maintenance. Meanwhile
the grand old Frenchman, now in his
eighty-eighth year, passes his exist
ence in sort of semi-somnolent con-
ditiOn in the arm chair, which he only
leaves for his bed. He can no longer
walk, he has become stone deaf, and
when he is not gazing in silence at his
children he reads newspapers, care
being taken to select those which con-
tain no uncomplimentary references to
his name. Having lost all notion of
time, those placed before him are most
ly of dates four and five years ago,
when he was still in the heyday OF his
glory, and when the press, still richly
subsidized by the Panama managers,
was never weary of referring to him
as 1.-The greatest and most illustrious
Of all Frenchmen." To this day
no one, not even the countess, can
say with amy degree of gertrude
whether he has any knowledge or
even inkling of the misfortunes that
have overtaken himself and his son
Charles. At any rate, he has given no
evidence thereof, and there is gen.
eral disposition to hope that his once
grand intellect passed into it's present
sOmnolent state in such manner as to
have spared him anv such sorrow.

BOILER PLATE COFFINS.
An Invention to Thwart the Purpose Of
Grave Robbers.


An Invention to Thwart the Purpose of
Grave Robbers.
During the past few weeks Washing
ton has been canvassed by the agent of
one OF the most peculiar pieces of
funeral paraphernalia ever invented.
says the News of that city 1t is bur
glar and fire-proOf coffin, with so many
strange adjuncts that person seeing
it for the first time would throw ND his
hands in holy horror at the audacity of
the inventor and the admirable nerve
of manufacturer that will place such
an article on the market. Despite the
many CHASTITY features in connection
with these collins and the almost
blasphemous talk of the enterprising
agent, this city has proved to be a
lucrative field for him to work. and
now number of citizens are equipped
with the strangest burial appliance of
the decade. The description of the
coffin, as given by the agent. is as fol-
lows:
Primarily the coffin is fire and bur-
glar-prOOf. The case is made out of
boiler iron hardened with old bone.
spruce bark and leather, which forms
an enamel that cannot be penetrated
by chiSel or drill. 1t is put together
with angle iron and flush rivets. The
locks are all on the inside, SO con-
structed with hooks and staples with a
spring behind them that when a pin is
drawn out from the outside the bolts
spring down and lock AUTOMATICALLY
and the coffin is then locked so that It
cannot be opened from the outside.
The only person who can unlock the
strange coffin is the person inside"
There are two grades of collins
those for vaults and those to be in
tered in graves. The coffin to ba
placed in vault is equipped with tor
pedoes that can be exploded from the
inside. The theory of this is that in
case a person is buried alive he can
throw back the bolts, explode the tor
pedoes and warn the sexton, and thus
escape. The coffin to be placed in a
grave has attached a strong SPRING and
arm. In case the person inside finds
that he wishes to get out, all he has to
do is to throw back the spring, and this
arm is thereby released and cuts it's
way to the top, exploding torpedo
and warning the keeper of the grave
yard.
These collins are sold at SO much Der
pound. and the first purchaser does
not have to pay anything down. He
simply gives written guarantee to
the manufacturer that he will pay for
the coffin from his estate within fifteen
days after death, or, failing to do this.
the manufacturer can claim his BODY
to Go what he may wish with it. The
collins were originally invented at
ipsilanti, Mich, and the invention was
due to necessity. At the time that the
company gained its inception Ypsilanti
and Ann Arbor and other Michigan
towns were being overrun with grave
robbers. It was to counteract the Of

boyhood and young manhood. Ills last
