WHITE MAN, COLORED WOMAN.
| The Latest and Worst Case Brought
Under the Edmunds Act.

The Latest and Worst Case brought
Under the Edmunds Act.
Witnesses were examined in the district
attorneys office yesterday afternoon in one
case in which complaint had been made of
an alleged violation Of the Edmunds law
by government clerks, but the testimony
was not sufficient, and no warrant will be
issued in this case. Policeman Maddox of
the third precinct, however, got evidence
in the case of a white man and colored
woman, and early this morning he served
on them a warrant charging them with
violating the law. The man is Thomas Nc
Stell forty-fve years old, and the woman
is Mary Levy, several years his junior.
Four months ago the man rented base
ment room at 1126 18th street, and ten
days later, it is alleged, the colored widow,
whose husband had only been dead a few
weeks, followed. McStells wife and chill
dren, it is alleged, lived on Grant avenue
at that time, but they have since moved
to Florida avenue.
McStell is a painter by trade, and Is hard
working man. When complaint of his al
legged misconduct was made the police were
very much surprised, but after making an
investigation Policeman Maddox swore out
the warrant, and the case came up today.
The warrant was served about o'clock
this morning, and McStell and the colored
widow were found in the room.
AS the man is married, he was charged
with adultery, and the court held him for
the grand jury. He was committed in de-
fault of bond.
The colored widow was released on her
PERSONAL bonls.

MRS. BURROUGHS ANSWER
She Files Counter Charges to Her Husbands
Suit fer Divorce.
Allegations That He Tried to Get a
Young Girl to Elope With Him
and That He Was Brutal.

The troubles Of James e. Burroughs and
his wife. Ada I. Burroughs, and, inciden-
tally, those of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. G..
Hoover, were given another airing today,
when Mrs Burroughs flied her answer to
the suit for divorce, filed against ner few
days ago. In his application for divorce
Mr.. Burroughs charged his wife with inf
deity In connection with Mr.. Hoover. and
Mrs. Hoover, praying for a divorce, ac-
cused her husband with committing adul-
terry with Mrs. Burroughs
In her answer, Mrs. Burroughs not only
wholly denies being unfaithful. but she also
charges her husband with cruelty and mis-
conduct She charges that last January
her husband endeavored to persuade Miss
LYDIA Crawford, a girl of eighteen years Of
age, to elope with him; that he made SIM
liar proposals to the girl several times pre-
vious to January 1, 1895, and that when
the last improper proposition was made to
her the said LYDIA Crawford, she, the said
LYDIA Crawford, told the complainant Dur
roughs) that if he did not desist from his
improper conduct she would complain to
his wife or have him punished therefor.
Brutal Treatment Charged.
Mrs. Burroughs says further, that for
the last three years her husband has been
an unkind and cruel husband, brutally as
saulting her upon five different occasions,
staying away from her almost every night
until II o'clock and later and sometimes
remaining out all night. During the last
three years, she charges, her husband has
time and again committed adultery in said
city and District, with different women,
whose names are now to petitioner un-
known"
Mr.. Burroughs, she says, makes $3.50 a
day, but she declares that he has never
contributed properly toward her support
and she charges and believes that he has
wasted and spent his money upon other
women, their names being now unknown
to her. On the 9th of last January she
asserts, her husband erased the name of
Mr.. Grogan from furniture purchased from
Mr.. Grogan, but for which her husband
had not paid, and sold the same. The pro-
ceedS, she states, her husband used entirely
upon himself, leaving the city, and leaving
her with only cents in her pocket with
which to support herself.
A Plot Alleged.
Mrs. Burroughs declares that the connec-
tion of her name with that of Mr.. Hoover
was an uncalled-for scandal, and was the
result of carefully laid plan between the
wife of the said Thos. G. Hoover, of pri-
vate detectives and of the said complain
ant Burroughs) for the purpose of en-
abling the said Mary L. Hoover and the
said complainant to obtain a divorce, and
that said scandal was without cause or
. foundation other than as above men
tened"
Mrs. Burroughs therefore prays that her
husbands petition for divorce be dismissed
and that he be compelled to pay her ali
mony and counsel fees.

THE DREAM OF LOVE.
So Far Joseph Hawkins is Cenccrn-
cd 1t Is Rutl,lessly Dissipnted.


When Joseph Hawkins was married eight
years ago he was sixteen years old. and
today Mr.. and Mrs. Hawkins were in the
Police Court to tell their tale of woe
and explain to the court how marriage
with them has been a failure. Last Deco
ration day they separated after having had
many quarrels, and the young man, who
is employed in dairy, called to see his
with an ice pick. He wanted to obliterate
the past and make another effort to live
together, but Mrs. Hawkins informed him
that she could get along without him and
his room was more desirable than his
presence. But he did not want to leave her
and did not do so until Policeman Aul-
bridge appeared in response to her call and
the young husband took his advice and de-
parted. He has not been to see her since,
but today she had him in court for threats.
Judge Miller heard their stories and took
the husbands personal bonds to keep the
peace.

CALLS 1T AN OUTRAGE.
Correspondent Severely Critics
Action Of Hilo People.

Mr.. EDITOR The action of the
Deputy Sheriff and people of Hilo,
in refusing to allow a party Of tour
lists to visit the volcano, after they
had landed at Punaluu, was, to say
the least, very arbitrary. The
facts are these: The tourists, who
came all the way from Boston and
the Atlantic States, arrived in the
Australia from San Francisco.
They were told here that they
could go to the volcano, provided
they remained on the Australia
and did not land in Honolulu.
From the Australia they were
transferred to the w. G.. Hall, and
left here with a clear bill of health,
having strictly conformed to all
the requirements of the local au-
thorities. They were to land at
Punaluu, thence to the volcano,
and back to the steamer and Homo
lulu. They had not been exposed
to the epidemic here in any way
whatever, nor could their visit to
the volcano under any possibility
have carried the contagion. They
did land at Punaluu, but by orders
of the Deputy Sheriff were driven
on board again like a drove Of
sheep, under threats of the bayo-
net.
The treatment that these tourists
have received from the Deputy
Sheriff and people of Hilo can be
termed nothing less than a shame
and an outrage, such as might be
expected from Hottentots or Fiji
ans, but such as no one could have
dreamed Of receiving from Ha-
weiians, who are reputed to be civ
ilized and anxious to be annexed
4, to a civilized republic. If persisted
in, this course will stop all travel
to the volcano or in fact to Hawaii.
The doors of the volcano hotel may
now be closed and bolted, the man
ager dismissed, and a notice posted
on the gate, "No Tourists Allowed
Hereby Order of the Hilo
People - and none will come.
If there be no other way to stop
these crazy, childish freaks, let the
captains of steamers be instructed
by their owners not to deliver
mails, nor papers nor freight of any
kind whatever, until permission is
given to anv messengers who are
allowed by the Board of Health of
Honolulu to leave with clean pass
ports, to land at their destination.
The mails are no more free from
contagion than such passengers
are. Stop all the mails, and all
supplies, food and everything else,
until passengers free from con-
tagion are allowed to land ! ''It's a
poor rule that will not work both I
ways"

Dry Earth Closet Systems.

Mr.. EDITOR Dry earth closets
having been mentioned in the Bull
letin as suitable sanitary convent
ences for Honolulu, / hope that a
few words from me on the subject
will not be out of place. My quail
fications in this matter are those of
a practical mechanic who has been
engaged in Canada in extensive
manufacture of dry earth closets as
an employee of a company who are
patentees in England, Canada and
States.
For the very earliest mention of
dry earth closets see 18th verse,
23d chapter Deuteronomy date,
about 1851 B. c.
The modern system of dry earth
disposal of excreta was the inven-
ton of the Rev. Henry Moule, Vicar
of rockingham, in Dorsetshire,
England, about 1860, A. D., who
successfully demonstrated the fact
that dry earth or ash had a most
remarkable effect as a deoderent.
He also invented commode closets
and outdoor conveniences which
are in successful operation in Eng
lish cities and villages as well as
Canada and America today.
Moule's system is the basis of all
the patents in operation.
The machinery for distributing
the deoderent i'll a dry earth closet
must be simple, must be automatic.
The general public will not pull a
cord or operate a handle. See
waterclosets open to the public to
demonstrate this fact.
The solid and liquid excreta
must also be separated. Manches-
ter, England, does not allow any
solid matter to get into the sewers.
Solid refuse is collected and sold
very proftably az manure. De-
composition is greatly fastened
and becomes so much more dan
gerous when solid and liquid eX-
creta are mixed.
Dry earth closets have been used
for thirty-five years and have given
satisfaction, IN connection with
sewerage works, and without, as
here; and would solve the cess
pool problem of Honolulu. All
solid matter can be disposed of
without expense, if not at a profit.
Yours, etc,
WOVEN WIRE BAILEY.
