FOURTH CAVALRY BAND.
Houston Delighted With the
Concerts Given by the
Mexican Band.

Houston, Tex, July 25.-
This evening at the auditorium
the Fourth cavalry Mexican
Band gave the third of theft
series Of concerts under more
favorable conditions than tht
other two. The music and full
dress uniforms were misdirect
ed when the band left Tyler
but they did not find it out till
after their arrival here. The
wires were Immediately made
hot with tracing messages and
the answer came that the mis-
placed articles would be'return-
ed so as to arrive here yester
day, but they failed and the
second concern was given, as
well as the first, without the
written music. The band for
tunately had by ear several
catchy pieces and entertained
both audiences in way thai
appeared to be satisfactory to
them. OF course the popular
pieces were warmly applanded
and the audience seemed de
lighted. The concert last night
was given en- the roof of the
auditorium, which location ad
ded great deal TO the enjoy
ment of the patrons. A brisk
breeze from the gulf swept
across the broad floor made
every one cool and seemed to
improve the liquid, soft music
of the magnificent aggregation
of musicians.
This evening the band gave
the third of its series and it was
the grandest of the whole. The
music which had been. missent
returned here this morning and
Lieutenant Lopez. the director
and the members Of the band
were much rejoiced over it.
The programme this evening
embraced music Of a high class
and the execution was magniii
cent. 1t was on the roof OF the
auditorium.
The band will close it's enga
cement tomorrow evening by a
grand concert at $50 o'clock at
the auditorium on the roof.
The programme has been sci
ected so as to embrace music OF
the highest class and suitable
for tue occasion.

Naturallsts and photography,

Naturalists have been doing some
clever things by the aid Of photography.
A western sportsman has been for years
making collection Of photographs Of
all kinds Of wild animals in their native
haunts, and many of these pictures, es-
pecially Of animals about to spring at
their intended prey, have been taken un-
der conditions that made the skillful
handling Of the rifle highly necessary

ped. Another e. th-siast has devoted
himself to paotograrsing the animals Of
the forest in their rightly wanderings.
he would set . wire in She path of the
animal he wished to photograph and ad-
just the camera so that as the anima,
came along and made contact with the
wire magnesium powder was ignited,
and in this fash the picture was taken.
In this way some beautiful specimens of
deer in all sorts Of attitudes, OF noun
tain loa, badgers, opcssums, etc, have
been secured, AID many new features
have been developed Of great interest to
the naturalist. u. Rosits1 the European
naturalist, who studies the wild life of
the Mediterranean in the garb Of diver,
has succeeded in taking some photo
graphs of the sea bottom. He uses flash
light obtained from a spirit lamp and
magnesium powder, which is covered by
a water tight beii Jar. The lamp stands
on a barrel containing oxygen gas, which
he employs to work the lamp and the
pneumatic shutter OF the camera. He
breathes through the supply pipe Of the
diving dress. The camera ia water tight
and stands on a tripod near the barrel,
SO that the shutter and the flash light can
be worked together. Chicago Record.

Cannibalasn,.

In accordance with Letourneau's Ia
bles Of motives accounting for cannibal-
ism, the man eating on the west coast of
Africa is to be put under the special and
worst Observation-Disclosures Of ''gormand-
izing." Neither vengeance, religion,
filial piety nor Justice has anything to
do with 1t. It is affirmed on what seems
to be good authority that among some
Of the negroes on the west African coast
there is "a hideously genuine appetite
for fresh human flesh" The Saturday
Review gives some sickening details, as
Of children confined in pens, fatted on
bananas, then bntchered and baked.
Worse than that, it is asserted that in
the settlements there are apparent con-
verts who wear tall hats and English
broadcloth coats, 'who disappear annu-
ally" 80 as to satisfy the horrid crav-
ings Of their appetites. Mr.. Trevor Bat
ty, who spent some months on Kolguev,
wretched island off European Russia,
inhabited by Samoyeds, says their
name is derived from the Russian, and
means ''self eaters More than that,
the present Samoyeds say that cannibal-
ism did exist among them Sin the long
past" and probably their "long past
is not 80 remote These Samoyeds as
man eaters would be classed among those
who were cannibals through necessity.
Although not SO we'll known, there is
good reason for surprising that not SO
long ago the Eskimos were cannibals.

wounded near by, and on whose face
there was the unmistakable hne of death,

attention Of the detail. A soldier placed
the nozzle of his canteen TO the poor fell

motioned his head in the direction Of
the stretcher and whispered with a pain

The men brought che stretcher to his
side, and divining his purpose they
lifted him up SO that he could see the
grizzled, ashy face. Before the men be-
gan to cover the pit the soa, too, was
dead, and with touch Of sentiment that
did credit to their hearts the soldiers
laid the men side by side and covered

slippery slopes Of Fort Robinette, and
the next instant fell dead on the parapet,
with his brave face buried in the folds
of the stars and bars.
Within our lines, which we soon felt
to be impregnable, there were curses
loud and deep for Van Dorm and Price,
and expressions Of valorous pity for the
gallant men who were being pushed
ruthlessly within the destroying range
Of our guns. Excepting the blow which
Thomas was destined to deal Hood two
years afterward, blow that crushed
down and wiped out the last vestige of
Confederate resistance in the west, in
open battle the southern men were never
so severely handled as in the second bat
tie of Corinth. The pursuit of the en-
envy was prompt and energetic, but the
miles of dead and wounded and the i'm
pediments thrown away in his flight
impeded our advance.
The following morning, when details
were sent out to bury the enemys dead
and to care for his wounded lying out
in the jungle of red earth and splintered
trees, one of the men who had known
Kelley when he sang and sold his bal
lads to the soldiers Of Nelson's old d.
vision sent up shout that attracted the
attention Of his companion.
"What is up?" asked the corporal in
charge.

The incident which led to the order for

as follows: A transport was bringing a
number of time-expired men home, when
they respectfully mutinied, and begged
their officers to go below, as they wished
to do something which might not be an

officers then took command and anohored

small salute, began shoating, "Long live

confusion at the palace, and various high
officials were dispatched to parley with

The Sultan, however, reflected that
what transport had done peaceably a

him, he declared that he wanted no more

OPINION OF THE COURT, BY
WHITING, J.


WHITING, J.
A trial was had before the District
Magistrate of HanaIei, Kauai, and
judgment rendered for the plaintiff.
The defendant appealed to the Circuit
Court, jury waived, and in his notice
OF appeal simply states that it is on
questions of law, and does not specify
the points raised. The certificate of
the District Magistrate states that the
defendant appeals on questions of law.
but does not set them forth nor do
they appear in the record.
The Circuit Court dismissed the de-
PENDANTS appeal on the ground that
no points of law were certified by the
District Magistrate and confirmed the
judgment of the magistrate.
The Circuit Court was right in it's
decision. The defendant not taking a
general appeal, but combining his ap-
peal to questions of law, he must have
those qpestions properly certified by
the magistrate, otherwise there is
nothing for the Appellate Court to con-
slider and determine.
