The Supreme Court of Califor-
mia has decided in favor of Rudolph
Spreckels in his suit against the
Nevada Bank. 1t reverses the de-
cision of the lower court that dis
solved temporary injunction, by
which the bank had been forbid
den to have 5000 shares of Pau
hau Plantation Company stock
transferred on the books of the
company at Honolulu. The stock
was held by the bank as collateral
security for debt of G. A. Spreck-
els to Claus Spreckels his father.
1t will be remembered that Claus
Spreckels has been required to
show cause in the Circuit Court at
Honolulu why the accrued divid-
ends on the stock in question
should not be paid to Rudolph
Spreckels by the treasurer of the
company.

ing money from the Turkish
Government which is about
equivalent to drawing blood from
a stone. II seems that the Porte,
being in want Of skilled artisans
to teach its own workmen in the
arsenals, induced n number OF
Englishmen to go out to enter its
service. The wages offered were
sufficiently liberal to tempt men
of the highest skill, but it proved
to be paper liberality only, as
might, indeed, have been expected.
The wages Of most OF the men are
five or six months in arrears, and
one Of them who went out last
August has not received a cent
since, and has had to live on
charity.
The Embassador has taken the
liberty of suggesting to the Porte
that English workingmen are not
accustomed to and are constitu-
tionally untitled to understand
Turkish methods Of finance, but
the pashas are equally unable to
comprehend how a common toiler
can expect to receive what is due
him. That was the situation
when the last mail left. Mean

ham district, whence most of the
victims hail, are publishing warn
ings to the workmen not to be en-
ticed into accepting delusivC
offers from the guileless Turk.

BOGUS WEDDING GIFTS.

A West End jeweler, says London
Lady, divulges some strange secrets
wedding presents. He says
that NUMBERS of people nire expensive
gifts, so that the display they make
on the wedding day is enough to cause
rival fiancees to grow green with envy.
In the same way, bogus checks and
hired bank notes are displayed-that
is to say, an obliging relative writes
out a check for two or three thousands
pounds, and there is an end of it. After
the wedding is over the check is re-
turned. to be torn in pieces. This is
transaction which can be only re-
commended between particularly hon
est relatives. The man who lends a
bank note for E5O0-which looks very
we'll in a list of gifts, by the way
must be of a very confiding disposition.
The silversmiths from whom this infOr-
nation comes says that regular agree
ment is made between customers and
trades people respecting wedding pres
ents, whereby duplicates can be sold
back to the firb. One business house
turns over quite a respectable sum
every year as the result of Obling trans
actions of this kind. Of course, sup

KANSAS CITY'S GIANT POLICE
MEN.

Possibly there is no other town IF
its size in the United States that has
as large policemen as Kansas City,
Kan By request of Chief Serviss every
officer on the force was weighed and
measured recently, and an average
made that comparisons could be made
with other cities.
The average weight of each police
man is 1885 pounds. The average
height is five feet ten and one-half
inches. The heaviest officer on the
force is Patrolman Joe Addison, who
| tips the beam at $50 pounds and meas
ures six feet three inches in height.
The lightest officer on the force weighs
154 pounds. There are no pigmies
among the Kansas City, Kan, police
men. Every man is large and well
built and capable of fulfilling the duties
of bourcer whenever his services are
required This average weight is
greater than that of Denver, Omaha or
any other western city, with two ex-
tceptions. 1t is greater than that Of
| Cincinnati, Louisville, Milwaukee, Des
Moines, Minneapolis or st. Paul. Chief
Serviss and the board of police COM
missioners of Kansas City, Kan, take
great pride in maintaining this force
of brawny policemen. Like Peter the
Great they never miss an opportunity
of enlisting a heavy man in the ranks

PASSING OF PHILATELY.

OF all the fads that have absorbed
the popular mind from time to time,
no other has been so universal or 80
constant as the craze for philately, or
stamp collection. Numismatics attack
more violently, but for evident reasons
not so generally. Men, women and
children bore their friends and neigh
bors for unique designs, especially OF
foreign authority, and the pOstoffice Of
ficials, both at Washington and subor
dinate stations, have to give consid-
cradle of the time that the Govern
ment pays for to examination of re
quests for stamps or information con-
corning them from all sorts of people.
While the Government officials and
their clerks are forbidden to deal with
stamp collectors in any other way than
their sworn duty defines, they are yet
pretty good judges Of the feeling in
the trade, and they now report that
within the past year or two there has
been a big slump in the business.
The following are some of the varie-
| ties of tricks practiced by inscriptions
collectors:
l. Ordinary perforated stamps with
exceptionally wide margins have their
perforations trimmed off, and such
stamps are offered as rare unperforated
| stamps.
| 3 Ordinary perforated stamps with
wide margins are reperforated with
the rare perforations This is frequent
| ly done by an ordinary hand punch.
| 8. Where stamps are printed in the
eli oh in or
tering the rare varieties are made by
piecing For instance, the 1-franc
French Empire is made by taking the
80 confines, dark carmine, with the
! bottom label from the 1-franc of the
Republic.
4. Bicolored stamps with the center
reversed, which are extremely rare
are made by cutting out the center and
reversing it on another copy of the
same stamp. For instance, the 1868
United States 10 cent, "A cent and sc
cent have been made by this process.
3. By chemical means the color is
changed. For instance, the Tor. blue
of Brazil is changed into the Tor. black
8. Stamps which have been Cancelled
by pen and ink have their cancellation
marks removed by chemical means, and
these stamps are then sold as unused

quently made on genuine stamps which
have been surcharged reprint" Oh
specimen"
8. Counterfeit surcharges are ex-
tremely common. They can be made
on an ordinary printing press.
9. False water marks are sometimes
made by printing the stamps with
woodcuts, using certain kind of oil
or they are made by pressing the de-
sign of the water mark on the STAMP
and then removing a portion of the
paper by rubbing with pumice stone.
10. Very rare stamps of which por-
ton has disappeared have had these
portions added.

original spotlessness.

LIFE IN BRAZIL UNDESIRABLE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 4.-Con-
sui Matthews, stationed at Para, writes
that there is little or no chance for
Americans in Brazil who have no cap
ital. There are more applicants than
positions, salaries are small, and liv-
ing is most expensive. AS to outdoor
labor, no white American exposed 10

hope to escape yellow fever and per-
haps death. To deal in rubber requires
large capital, and American rubber
gatherers would have but one chance
in 10 for life; even among the natives
the mortality is so per cent on some

AQUEDUCT BLOWN UP.
INSURGENTS ATTACK HA.
VANA'S WATER SUPPLY.
Two Terrific ExpIOSIOns-Great Damage
In tho City-The Move Is One That
Has Long Been Observation-Disclosures
Apprehension Felt In Havana.

HAVANA, June l5.--This city was
startled and alarmed last night at 9
o'clock by the noise of two successive
explosions, which shook the ground
for long distance and was heard for
several miles. CONSERVATION pre-.
vailed for time, and it was feared
this was prelude to an attack or a
series of similar explosions Excited
throngs rushed to the streets, while
an armed party proceeded in the di-
rection from which detonatlons had
been heard.
It was soon found that the stone
bridges of Cristina and Concha and
the aqueduct of Fernando Septimo
were the points that had suffered from
the dynamite. The bridges were par
TALLY destroyed, and the pipes on tho
aqueduct, upon which the city is de-
pendent for its water supply, were
much damaged. 1t cannot yet be-
stated how extensive is the damage
done, or how long it will require to
remedy it.
The windows in many houses in the
city were shattered by the reverbera-
tion of the explosion, and some mar
ket structures were also badly
damaged.
There is no doubt left that the dyna-
mite which caused this wreck was
placed by agents of the insurgents.
It has been their determination, an
nounced some time since, to cut off the
water supply of Havana and so serve
to make 1t as nearly uninhabitable as
possible.
The greatest apprehension is felt on
account of the secrecy and effective
ness witl& which the insurgents have
been able to carry out the outrage.
Last night was spent in fear and dread
of immediate danger. These fears
were largely dispersed by the return
of daylight.
bent upon investing Havana by cut
ting off as much as possible the sup
ply OF necessities, though not by
actually besieging it. All fruits and
vegetables and fresh meats are unpre-
cedently high priced and difficult to
obtain, and milk is of the poorest, such
as brought in being much adulterated
before it is delivered. There is much
fever, and smallpox has broken out
here, and, in the unwholesome state
OF affairs, threatens to become cpl
demic. Many are suffering from
measles and there is much intestinal
trouble among the inhabitants of the
city, owing to poor and insufficient
food. The failure of the water supply
under these conditions is dire
calamity.
1t is the announced intention of the
authorities to continue the campaign
against the insurgents, in spite of the
unhealthful rainy season having set
in, and additional troops are in the
field in Pinar del Rio with the pun
pose of running down and sur
rounding Antonio Maceo 1t is
evident, however, that the insur-
gents themselves are preparing to
enter upon more aggressive
plan of action and the gathering
of insurgent forces at Puerto Principe
and Santa Clara is believed to be a
prelude to another raid westward in
force by Maxine Gomez. The pres
ence of this combined insurgent force
in the neigh borhood, and even in the
outskirts of Havana in the next
month, is condition that must prob
ably be counted on.
