Her Punishment Not Expected To lie
Harsh and She May Be
Released.

Honolulu, Feb. S.-Liliuokalani DOM
inis, the ex-queen of Hawaii. was ar
raigned on the 5th instant on a charge
of misprision of treason. The original
charge was treason. She is represented
by Paul Neumann. After the charge
was read, the matter went over for a
day. The case was called again day be-
fore yesterday. The deposed monarch
refused to plead, so a plea of not guilty
was entered. The work of examining
witnesses was gone on with and enough
evidence was secured to prove to any
impartial observer that she was alvarez
that the rebellion was to be started.
The most damaging evidence that will
be brought against her will be her per
sonal diary, which was found in her
residence after her arrest. This was
introduced and made public and her
trial depends much on the course pur-
sued by her counsel The champion of
royalty seems to have been on very in
innate and friendly terms with Presi-
dent Cleveland, an entry made during
last summer stating: &C O. Carter
called today and delivered President
Cleveland's present to me-" What this
present was is not stated.

terady the eX-queen was placed on the
! stand IN her own behalf. After her ex-
animation was concluded a statement
written by her was filed. 1t commences
with a history since the time she was

movement undertaken by the Ha-
waiians last month was absolutely
commenced without my knowledge,
sanction, consent or assistance, directly
or Indirectly and this fact is in truth
well known to those who took part in
it. L must deny your right to try me
in the manner and by the court which
you have called together for that pur-

in a verdict of guilty in the case of the
ex-queen, Notwithstanding her denial
Sentence will be passed. but it is not
believed she will be imprisoned. but
will be allowed freedom on her own

TOM cLEARY WAS CONVICTED.
Guilty of Manslaughter for killing Frank
DOrTitN.

Helena, Mont. Feb 1S-Thomas Cleary
was convicted in the district court of man
slaughter for killing Frank Dorrity, a
gambler, a few months ago in this city.
Cleary was at one time prominent
middleweight prize-fighter and had go
with Jack Dempsey before a club in San
Francisco. He had run down at the heel
until he had become a rounder, and while
hanging around gambling houses he fell
in with Dorrty, who was bad man with
a reputation for killing people. They had
been out all night and wound up with a
quarrel and while running from Cleary
the latter got bead on Dorrity and sent
bah into the back of his neck. There
seems no doubt but that Dorrity was go
ing for his gun to kill Cleary, so the case
was made manslaughter. He will be SEN

Telling How 81. Martin Transfornea
the Dsvil lnto o Mule.
One Of the curious legends pre-
served in Homes Everyday Book" Ia
that which tells the story Of st. Mar
tins wonderful feat Of transforming
the devil into mule, and then mount
Ing him and. riding to Rome. The sto-
~, remarkable as 1t is. was formerly
one of the standard miracle tales In
all Catholic countries, and was at one
time believed by nine-tenths of the
Christian population Of the world.
The story, somewhat undermined. is
as follows: st. Martin had been a
valiant soldier, but, having given up
the profession of war, he was elected
bishop of Tours.
Although prclate Of note, he kept
neither horses. carriages nor servants.
This being the case, when he was
called to see the pope. he started for
the holy city afoot and alone. AS he
was walking guilty along the road, he
was met by the devil, who politely ac-
costed him with the remark that such
q foot journey must be very fatiguing
and rather out of place for such a
church dignitary.
st. Martin well knew the drift of his
satanic maJesty's remarks, and, in or
der to put him beyond the power of
doing harm, miraculously transformed
the poor devil into a very common
looking mule. After performing the
miracle to his satisfaction, the saint
mounted the fiend, who strobe of in
the direction Of Rome.
The journey was rather uneventful,
with the exception that the devil took
occasional "mulish" spells, which only
caused the saint to make the sign Of
the cross, which served to goad the
fiend forward until the destination
was finally rcached.-St. Louis cRpub

A Land Of Many Fast Days.

The people of Scrvia are foreve,
fasting. The most severe fast is that
Of Lent, which lasts seven whole
weeks. Then, on the Both of June, IL
the fast of st. Peter, which lasts two
weeks, and Is observed by some per-
sons for four weeks. From the 1st to
the 18th of August is the fast Of st.
Mary, and Christmas is preceded by a
forty-days' fast. Apart from these
lengthy fasts, every Friday and every
Wednesday throughout the year is
held to be fast day. Fasting in Ser
via Is no mere change of diet; 1t
means real abstinence and prlvation.
At Prot this fasting has assumed such
serious proportions as to constitute IL
grave medical problem and n national
danger, for 1t affects seriously the
health of the population, the strength
and fighting capabilities of the SOL
diers. The medical men reckoned
that, on the whole, half the days in
the year were fast days. This means
that for six months in the year the
population Of Prot and its neighbor-
hood is only fed on bread, raw onions
and raw vegetables. No cooking Is
done; not q morsel of meat is allowed.
