A Case Where All the Justices Of
th4 sup'-me Court Changed
Their Minds
1t was a matter of some surprise
that Justice Shras Of the United
States Supreme Court should have
changed his mind within few
weeks upon a matter OF law, but it
is not many months since the whole
court changed their mind on such a
matter, and that in the course OF
few days.
The case before the court was one
arising out Of customs decision at
this port, and The counsel arguing
az ,iust the decision OF the Custom
House was New York lawyer, then
for the 6rst time before the Supreme
Court. The case turned mainly
upon the question whether an article
Of importation should or should not
be classed as sauce. The Custom
House had called it a sauce and
taxed it accordingly. The Govern
ment maintained this contention,
and, Of course, the New York lawyer
sought to show that the article
should not be classed as sauce.
When the Supreme Court came to
consult upon the case their I'M
animous opinion was favorable to
the contention OF the Government,
aud one of the Justices was instruc-
ted TO prepare decision in favor of
the Custom House. The Justice,
on returning home, told his wife of
the case, and indicated the ground
OF the decision; whereupon the lady
told HIM ia plain words that the
Justice of the Supreme Court aid
not know what they wee talking
about, aud had agreed upon an I'M
just decision. The lady was entirely
clear that the article in dispute
could not properly be called a
sauce, and openly ridiculed the
court.
The perplexed Justice, instead of
preparing the decision in accord
ance with he instructions OF his
brethren, d d nothing in the matter,
but at the next opportunity un-
folded to the other Justices his
wife's view OF the matter, aud asked
them to seek domestic counsel on
the case and report. At the next
consultation came rou d the JUS
tices, having taken feminine counsel,
all reported against their original
view that the article involved in the
case should be classed as a sauce,
and accordingly the Justice origin
ally charged with the task OF pre-
pairing decision ia favor of the
Government was now instructed to
prepare one in favor OF the New
York lawyers client. IL thus hap
pened that the lawyer won his first
case before the Supreme Court be-
cause the wives of he Justices knew
more than the court itself.-N. Y.

The most lovely spot on Oahu is
SaDs Souci. This favorite seaside
resort, which has been immori allied
by the pen Of Robert l.. Stevenson,
who resided there for months, is
only four miles from Honolulu and
within easy reach of the tramcars.
The surroundings and bathing at
this famous resort are superior to
anything found in the Hawaiian
Hands. Cottages and board can
be obtained on easy terms. The
table set by the manager is better
than any offered here at other no.
tells. For picnics, bathing partit s
and outings the best accommodation
can be secured by giving notice to
the manager. 4
