Acquitted.

Judge De la Vergne this morning
discharged George Houghtailing
who was charged with exposing
liquor for sale without a license.
Marshal Brown prosecuted, and
Messrs. Creighton g. Correa appear
ed for the defendant.
The case presented several pecu.
liar features. The liquors found on
HoughtailiDg's premises on the day
OF his arrest were in an ice chest in
room in his house in the back Of a
yard on Bethel street. To claim
that liquor in such a place was OK
posed for sale was, to say the least,
absurd. The Judge took the same
view and Houghtailing was acquit-
ted. Later on demand was made
on the Marsha al for the return of the
ice chest, liquor, buckets, empty bot
ties, and boxes which the over zeal
Gus officers had seized at the time Of
the arrest. The demand was COM
piled with and the police we're busy
this morning moving Houghtailing's
property back to his premises.

CORRESPONDENCE

Ed. HE INDEPENDENT
Will You kindly inform mo whe-
Their the public schools are kept up
for the purpose Of teaching our
children the usual elementary
knowledge or for instructing them
in American politics OF which they
know nothing aud cannot possibly
have any interest in? My little girl
came to me few days ago and ask
ed me who was the Chest" Bryan or
Mckinley. She is ten years of age
and thought up to date that her
mind was occupied with her dolls
and lessons. La response to my
question, why she wanted to know,
she told mo that her teacher would
take ballot on the following day
to see who favored Bryan and who
Mckinley, and that instructions
had been given to the children to
consult their parents in regard to
how they should vote, My child re-
turned the following day from
school and told me- that a vote had
heen taken, and that one boy had
been taken to task because he sup
ported Bryan. The little fellow
answered that his papa had told
him that Bryan was the friend OF
the poor, and that all poor men
should vote for him. The teacher
then told the child to tell his father
that he was wrong, and that McKin-
ley was the true friend of the poor
Now, MIR. Editor, what do you
call that kind Of teaching in pub.

Those Bufalos

We must again remind the public
that If the Buffalos of the American
Continent are now principally to be
found on reservations alone, there is
still Buffalo or two left on exhibit
ton in Honolulu. OF course, we
refer to the Buffalo beer just intro
duced at the Royal Annex, the
Royal, Pacific and Cosmopolitan
Saloons. 1t will be found extremely
palateable and up to the most re-
fined taste. The system Of inter-
chargeable checks still continues,
aud those issued for the celebrated
Pabst are equally valid. Taste and
see how good it is.

THE GAR.
Some Incidents Of His Visit to
France and Comments Thereon.

some Incidents OF Ills Visit to
France and Comments Thereon.
LONDON, Oct. 10-The attention
of Europe may he said to have been
concentrated during the week upon
the visit OF the Gar and Czarina to
France and the most enthusiastic
reception accorded them in the
French capital la this connection
the feature, which is causing the
greatest amount of gossip, is the
luncheon given by the Gar on We'd
nesday at the Russian Embassy to
the representatives of the French
royal family. 1t is true that M.
Hanoteaux, the French Minister for
Foreign Affairs, General de Bots de
Dealer, Chief of the General Staff,
and Admiral Gervais, attach I'D to
the person of the Empress during
her stay 10 France, we're present,
but the other guests included the
Due d'Aumale, the Duke and Ouch
ess dc Chartres, the Duchess de Ma
genta, the Duchess dc Luynes, the
Duchess de Rohap, the Due de Dou-
deaville, the Due de Rocheloucault,
the Duchess d'Uzas and the Princess
Matbilde Bonaparte, widow Of the
Prince de San Donatio and aunt Of
Prince Napoleon Victor Bonaparte,
head OF the Bonaparte family. The
presence OF the Princess Mathilde
alone saved the party from being
distinctly an Orleanist demonstra-
ton The Duchess de Luynes pre-
sented the Czarina with a bouquet
from the Due d'Orleans, the pre-
tender to the throne of France, and
Her Majesty sent him her warmest
congratulations. The whole affair
was most cleverly managed, and
even the Gsrcest Radicals have not
dared to protest against it.
All sorts Of interpretations are be-
ing placed upon the incident, but
the fact remains that from the hour
he landed in Cherbourg the Gar
behaved IN a most conservative and
diplomatic manner, pleasing almost
everybody, while offending but very
few people. The Gear, previous to
leaving Balmoral Castle, after his
visit TO Queen Victoria. gave $500
for distribution among the servants
and he ef, n packing case full OF
the most expensive jewelry, brace
lets, rings, pins, etc, to be presented
to all above the rank OF servants.
/ The Paris correspondent OF the
Times reports that the Gear and
Czarna have promised to accept
the Due d'Aumale's invitation tc
visit the Castle of Chantilly when
they revisit Paris in the spring.
Nov that the visit is ended" the
Times correspondent says, there i,
a feeling in some quarters that il
only needs similar visit from the
Emperor OF Germany to cement the
European peace"
