A RHINOCEROS CALF.

The Queer Little Animal Captured BY
Hunters In the Tropics.
Mr.. Selous and companion named
Wood shot COW rhinoceros. and the
next moment saw that it was accom-
panied by small calf, not more than a
day or two old. The little fellow
seemed unable to keep up with its
mother, and at the approach Of the
hunters ran under the legs Of Woods
horse. Wood pulled up TO secure it,
and Selous hurried forward and I'm
ished the COW.
On returning to the spot, Selous
found his friend sitting under q tree
and the baby rhinoceros standing close
beside his horse. which manifested not
the slightest alarm at the near prox-
Unity of the Strengthening, strange
smelling little beast.
The calf, too. appeared to be equally
undisturbed when the men went up to
it and passed their hands over its back.
1t was about as large as half-grown
pig, and had no sign Of horns, though
two round patches on the nose showed
where they would grow.
Mr.. Selous was struck with the fact
that it sweated profusely all over it's
back, thing which he could not re-
member ever to have seen in the case
Of an adult animal.
The calf followed Woods horse as
closely as If it had been its mother,
and the men determined to keep it, and,
if possible, bring it up. They were six
miles from their wagons, but the calf
followed like 4 dog the whole way.
The heat of the sun troubled it. Al
every shade tree it would stop and
rest; but as soon as the hor e was
about twenty yards ahead it would
twist up its little tail. utter a squeal,
and come trotting alongside
No sooner did il get to the wagons,
however, that it was transformed into
perfect little demon. Perhaps it was
the sight of the dogs, that came bark
ing about it; perhaps it was the veg
ons: at all events. the creature became
quite another being, and charged dogs,
men, and even the wagon wheels with
the greatest fury.
The men tethered it, and after .
while it became quiet; but il coald not
be made TO eat anything they had to
give it-there was no COW in the camp
and finally they thought it merciful
to kill it rather than tsrn it loose TO
starve to death.-Youth's Companion.

SAYS CURTIS ABUSED HER.
Anna Smith Tells Her Tale OF Sorrow and
Wants n Divorce.

Anna Smith says that she and Curtis
Smith were married on the 18th day of
January 1898 That at all times since
that time she has been good. obedi-
ent, faithful wife.
Then she charges that her husband
base become a habitual drunkard and
gets drunk whenever an opportunity
offers. In fact. she claims that about
the only time Curtis is sober is when he
has no money to buy whisky or when no
body else will buy II for him.
Anna charges that on the 2ith day
of last December that Curtis opened his
Christmas festivities by kicking and
choking her and then repeated the
operation the day after Christmas and
addressed her in blasphe.noUs Ian
guage.
Then Anna tells in her petition how
she went TO the house of her parents
and that Curtis came there and pro-
ceeded to kick in the doors and win
dows in such approved manner that
she was in fear of great bodily harm
And now she wants to know If such
conduct does not entitle her to d.
vorce. That is what she asks the court
to grant her.

A GREAT BLUNDER.

Little need be added to the
vigorous protest of correspon-
dent in this issue against the
selection of the old immigrant
sheds for a cholera hospital. This
is positively the worst break the
Board of Health has yet made.
1t is even a greater blunder than
that made many years ago, when
the leprosy hospital, now for SC
time abandoned, was stationed in
the most conspicuous position at
the harbor entrance. That site
was we'll enough so far as the
public safety was concerned, but
the site of the cholera hospital is
eminently dangerous to a populous
section. 1t is customary else
where to locate pesthouses in
isolated but wholesome localities.
The site of this one is neither
isolated nor wholesome. 1t is
close to a teeming congeries of
dwellings, novels intermingled
with neat cottages so as to give
an effect more grotesque than
picturesque. There is not Q more
sun-baked and sultry place in
town, nor one more cherries and
desolate in the landward prospects.
If there is still to be a cholera
outbreak, heaven be prayed that
it may be averted until the Board
has time to retrieve this gross
blunder.

Even some Of the Senators and Rep-
personalities sent to the Legisla.
ture from, if not by, the capital
were before long seized by the
contagion, with the result upon
several occasions Of showing that
they did not deem themselves
sent there simply to register the
DEGREES of the reigning junta.
This spirit of independence is
more likely to gain strength than
lose it before the regular session,
and the belief that such will be
the case gives hope that a public
policy for all Hawaii will then
take shape. 1t is too much
an effort of the imagination to
think that suca a policy will, on
that occasion, be put completely
into effect, The Legislature does
not represent enough of the peo-
pie for that. Yet the keynote of
truly national policy may be
fully expected to be sounded
at that time, both in and out of
the Legislature, which will start
the music of emancipation for the
general elections of year later.
When that event comes around
the probability is that the people
now ostracised from the body poll
tie for their honest opinions, being
a majority of the qualifable cleo
torate, will see it to be their duty
to register as voters for the pro-
lection of their own rights and
the advancement of the interests
of the whole commonwealth.

ALL HAWAII.

districts were, at the special ses-
sion of the Legislature, in most
cases relegated to the regular ses-
sion next year. Of those that
were ostensibly complied with in
the appropriations made, it is ex-
ceedingly. doubtful if more than a
small proportion will be put into
effect. According to the Govern
ment's own showing, it's financial
situation is badly strained, and
its obligations for the remaining
seven months of the period tower
vastly over its ordinary resources
Of revenue. 1t may as well be
understood by the Government,
however, that the country dis
tricts will not brook having their
interests made secondary or
subservient to those of Honolulu
when the regular session assem-
bleg. All through the Provisional
Government era, including the
time that its councils ruled the
Republic, the country districts
received but scant consideration
outside of the absolutely fixed ex-
penditures for schools and roads.
Appropriation bills supplement
tary to the regular Act OF 1892
fell thick and fast during that
transition period, in which ex-
penditures for various objects in
Honolulu were greatly increased,
while there was nothing special
given TO the wholly unrepresented
islands of the group other than
Oahu. There was a method in this
gross Partially and high-handed
sectionalism. The provisional
authorities from Grst to last con.
vulsively catered for foreign opinion
upon the results of their calling
themselves to rule, and concen-
tration of their efforts at the
capital as the most conspicuous
part Of the commonwealth was
the card they sagaciously played.
1t is true that they did not make
a great deal out of the policy, but
they succeeded in a few respects
TO make hustle that, to super
fetal observers, had a semblance
of business. The statement has
gone unrefuted that, even in
always favored Honolulu, less was
done in permanent improvements
during this period than in many
preceding ones. There is not a
single great monument of pro-
gress to mark the provisional
period. The great improvement
of Honolulu's sidewalks did not
have it's origin in that period, but
In the wholesome Legislation of
the previous one, when the party
now in power could not elect a
man on the island of Oahu, even
under the restricted franchise for
Mobiles which excluded the masses
of the much maligned native yeo-
many. Other Legislation in the
line of progress of the same origin
was made a dead letter, simply
because the funds required to
effectuate it were absorbed by the
soldier and secret service expen-
ditures, enormously increased be-

The text of the Land Act in
places would afford an excellent
lesson to school children, in ex-
amples of how English should not
be written. 1t Is replete with
gross plumbers in syntax and has
many words inaccurately selected
to express the precise meaning
intended. The craftsman in many
cases has apparently never learn
ed that neither requires "nor"
after it, and that "or" is the cor
relative Of either" In one place,
to be found in today's instalment,
either the word otherwise" is
employed where the context would
indicate elsewhere" as the pro-
per term, or else there is a serious
fault of construction that gives
the section ambiguity.
