A SEA OF SAND.
A Tale Of Dreadful Suffering on the Dry
Desert.

Desert.
Daylight was just breaking as we
mounted our horses--28 of us, led by "a
young lieutenant--and rode out upon the
sands Of the Great Staked plain. We left
trees, grass. flowers and bubbling spring
and a sparkling rivulet behind us. Ahrnl
and to the right and left was desert Of
sand, whercon only the stunted sage bush
and the ugly cactus grew. We headed by
compass for the other side, and before we
had gone a mile some of tho men were al
ready slipping at their water bottle. BY
noon the horses betrayed their thirst, and
when night finally came and wo made n
fireloss and watcrless camp we realized
that we had not sufficiently prepared for
the journey. The water intended to last
for three days was almost gone The men
would have quite empticd their bottles

watched over them with his own eyes. a
few sips Of warm and thickening water for
the riders-not drop for the poor horses.

| OPINION OF THE COURT BY CIRCUIT JUDGE
COOPER.
The defendant was tried before the
District Magistrate of Makawao
Maui, for larceny in the third degree
he was found guilty and appealed to
the Circuit Court of the Second Cir
cult at term, where he was unani-
mously convicted of the offense by
the jury. And his case now comes
before this Court upon an exception
to the overruling of his motion for a
new trial, based upon the ground
that the verdict was contrary to the
law and weight of evidence.
Defendants counsel claimed, that
taking the evidence for the prosecu-
ton to be true, it was not sufficient
to establish prind facie case against
his client, because the evidence of
the taking of the knife, the subject
OF the larceny, was only circumstan-
tial and that the stolen property was
not seen in the defendants posses
sion until after lapse of thirty days.
"The mere proof of possession of
stolen property is not sufficient to
constitute larceny yet when accom-
panied by false explanation of its
possession, prinsG Jdcie case is made
and it should be submitted to the
jury" Republic of Hawaii V. Pahu,
10 Haw-
One of the witnesses for the pros
ecution by the name of Anderson
testified that the defendant, with q
companion, came to his house at
Keaauls, Makawao, and asked for
food, which he supplied to them;
that his knife. which was of peculiar
construction, the handle being stud
ded with brass nails, was lying on
the table where they were eating;
that about three minutes after the
defendant departed the knife was
missed and that he had not seen it
since. Two other witnesses testified
that while In company with the de-
PENDANT they saw him have q knife
which they recoe nized as belonging
to Anderson, and on being asked
about it the defendant admitted that
the knife was Anderson's, but that he
had taken il by mistake. This evil
dence unrebutted would Justify
verdict against the defendant.
The defendant introduced witness
ses to prove an abb. The man whom
Anderson said came with the defend
ant to his house denied having visit
ed the Anderson place on the day in
question. Two others swore that
they went TO Waikiki in company
with the defendant on that day, and
In addition to this, one witness testi-
fed that he was present at the time
the knife was said to have been seen
in the defendants possession, and
that he did not hear any CONVERSE
ton which passed between the part
les in regard to the ownership Of the
knife. The defendant denied that he
was at Anderson's, or that he had
admitted to the other witnesses that
the knife was Anderson's. On the
contrary he claimed that the knife
that he had was his own.
a primG tdcie case having been
made out by the prosecution it was
properly submitted to the jury, who
failed to believe the witnesses for
the defendant, and we do not find
that the evidence introduced on his
behalf was of such a character as
would warrant a ruling that the YER
dict was contrary to the weight of
evidence.
The exceptions are overruled.

FLORAL TRIBUTES.
Only Those of the Family Touched
the Bier.

The imposing effect of the decorations
was heightened by the somber weather.
The dim, religious light that entered
through The stain ed-glass windows was so
feeble that the main body of the church
was plunged in semi-darkness. Contrasted
with this foil the lights and decorations In
the chancel seemed doubly brilliant.
Early in the morning the church was
made ready for the ceremony, and at 9
o'clock the casket WAS brought from the
Lick House and placed on the bier. where
it was surrounded with floral offerings.
The decorations were very beautiful,
though no attempt at gorgeous display bad
been made. On the altar stood masses of
stately Bermuda lilies, tied with streamers
of white ribbon, and on either side tow
cred palm trees fifteen feet high. The al
tar-rails we're almost concealed by Ber-
muda lilies and maidenhair ferns, and the
gllttering brass candelabra, with their
numerous electric lights, sprang from
banks of white flowers.
Between the altar-rails and the casket
had been placed some of the numerous
floral tributes sent BY old friends and
business connections OF the deceased mil
lonaire. These we're grouped round in a
semi.circulsr form. with two tall crosses
in the center. One, of Eastern ivy leaves

of the same hue. The casket itself was Of
copper, covered with black plush. Within
the lid was a small silver plate, bearing
the name of the late Senator aud the dates
OF his birth and death.
Only the immediate family of the de.

that touched the bier. Charles Fair had
sent the pail of purple violets and white
hyacinths which entirely covered the top
OF the casket. Leaning against the head
of the bier was a beautiful cross of white
single hyacinths, tied with large satin
bow: this was from Mrs. Herman Oelrichs.
Miss Virginia Fair had sent the wreath of
Neapolitan violets and lilac ribbon that
stood beside it, and on the ground at the
foot of the bier lay two crossed branches
