A taste for perfumes seems
to be an inseparable adjunct
ola love for the beautiful. A
flower without odor loses half
its charm; the scent of the
violet is as precious as the
lovely small blossom from
which it is exhaled.
We know Honolulu people
appreciate anything of a high
order. We know that our
latest importation of French
perfumes will be appreciated
by every lover of the beauti-
full. We are not going to
keep the same old standard of
high price, We sell them the
same as American perfumes.

The present excellent state o

with the prompt and willing obedi
ence which the officers and men re,
spond to all calls, and the desire o.
the Colonel Commanding to make

Therefore, he hereby orders, that
on and after the week commencing

orders, there will only be two drills
per month, viz: on the second and

who had served on the jury as far back as
last March were traced out from the court
records. For example, a juror who had
served twenty days would be offered $50
tor his claim. To many this offer was like
finding SO much money, as they did not
know that any amount was due them.
An assignment in the presence of notary
was readily made and the broker collected
the money. The amount allowed for
twenty days is $40
Mr.. Piper explained that the system
which had been established in the County
Clerks Office was a sure check against
double payment and against payment to
any person who had not performed jury
service. "This case" said Mr.. Piper,
(which is now being investigated by the
Judiciary Committee and the Grand Jury,
is easily explained. There are two William
Johnsons. One lives at the Mission and
the other is In business down on Market
street. The Johnson on Market street got
the warrant which belongs to Johnson of
the Mission, and assigned payment to M.
NJ. G. Harding. ! have made a memoran-
dunn 10 hold the warrant, and have sent
for Harding and both of the Johnsons.
You would be surprised" said Mr..
Piper, "at the mum ber OF brokers engaged
in this business. In the $21, 900 disbursed
/ do not think any OF the money has been
paid out to persons who were not entitled
10 receive II.
Mr.. Piper went with the reporter to one
of the courtrooms to explain the system
followed by the courtroom clerks. For
example, if juror in June had served
twenty days in the court of which Oscar
Tolle is clerk that juror goes to Mr.. Tolle
and asks for his time. Mr.. Tolle gives
him slip of paper on which is written
the number OF days of jury service per-
formed, and designates each day of the
month in which jury duty was performed
by the applicant.
This slip OF paper is taken TO the
chief clerk, who enters the record in the
warrant-bock. The warrants are then
made out and approved by the County
Clerk and sent to the Board OF Super
visors. The warrant stub also shows the
amount, the name and the number. When
approved by the Supervisors the warrants
come back to the County Clerk. When
the warrant is finally delivered a receipt
is taken from the person in whose favor it
is drawn or from the broker to whom it is
assigned.
Before this system was established
brokers had blank warrants printed and
assignments executed before notary. The
Grand Jury may be able to improve the
system of certifying the number of days
which the juror served. The time certi-
ticate should be signed by the Judge on
the bench as we'll as by the clerk of the
cOurt.

GRAND JURY GETS
TOO MUCH JOHNSON
Two of That Name Cause
a Complication in Its
Warrants.
Apprised of the Facts by the
Judiciary Committee of the
Supervisors.
Hints Dropped That Bogus Assign.
ments by the Job Lot Have Been
Made to Brokers.

William Johnson of the Mission roared.
The roar was caused by the discovery that
another William Johnson had signed his
name to warrant of S54 for jury fees.
What made the roar loud and prolonged
was the further discovery that payment of
the sum called for in the warrant had
been assigned to NJ. &c. Harding. The
roar made sensation at the City Hall late
yesterday afternoon and so frightened the
Judiciary Committee Of Supervisors that
the signing of warrants was suspended.
IL looking over his accounts John A.
Russell, clerk of the board, found that
$21, 900 had been disbursed since last
August in payment of jury fees.
The Judiciary Committee and the clerk
of the board deemed it wise to apprlse
the Grand Jury of the irregularity, mas
much as Johnson bad made the statement
that his case was only one OF dozen of a
similar nature.
Frederick K. Hobbs of the Grand Jury
detailed William l.. Ashe. Rob TT Haight,
E. P. Farnsworth and Harry w. Goodail
to visit the Judiciary Committee. The
jurors returned and alter consultation a
message was sent to Chief Crowley asking
that a detective be sent to the Grand Jury.
Detective Eagan was advised to report to
Messrs. Goodall and Farnsworth.
After receiving instructions from the
jurors the detective went to John A. Rus.
sell and obtained the facts concerning the
warrant irregularity. He also obtained
the warrant in favor of William Johnson,
giving receipt to the clerk therefor.
The Grand Jury to-day will hear Detective
Eagan's report.
Mr.. Russell was not alarmed by the
statements made by Johnson, and neither
is he convinced that wholesale frauds
have been committed in the signing Of
names, transferring warrants to brokers
for collection. Yet he deemed it wise to
suspend operations for the present. john
sons assertion that his own experience
was that of dozen others was some W hat
surprising and suggested an investiga-
tion. The warrants Tor jury services come
from the County Clerks office and are re-
turned to that office when approved by
the Board of Supervisors.
Harry Piper, chief deputy in the County
Clerks office, was interviewed for 1HE
GAIL after the matter had been placed in
the hands of Detective Eagan. He said
the Supreme Court decision OF last August
upholding the fee bill of 1895 caused a
swarm of brokers to come forth. Men

A Victory for the Sailors.

District Judge Morrow rendered an inter
esting decision yesterday in the case of Will
liam Hogan and others against the bark ]. d.
Peters and her master, Captain ]. NJ. Haskell.
The libelants were sailors who shipped at
Port Townsend for a trip TO Alaska and back to
San Francisco. The sailors claimed that aside
from the goods furnished by the ship out OF
the slop chest they were entitled to wages
aggregating 1888 20, Notwithstanding their
allotment Of $25 per man. which their stior-
ney said was illegal under the act OF 1895
known as the Maguire act.
Judge Morrow holds differently and that
allotments are different from advancements,
which are Illegal. He decided that the nine
sailors were entitled to a lump sum of 1858 20
besides their allotments already secured.
Judge Morrow rSled that the sailors had been
overcharged by the captain for their allot-
ments, goods taken from the slop chest, and
said that in manv instances the captain over
charged from 300 TO 400 per cent His de-
cislon was virtually victory for the sailors.

go out next March as master of the Kar-
lux. Captain Sherman, the father of the
only white child ever born off the mouth
of the Mckenzie River, will go out on the
Orca, and the chances are that Captain
Williams will take the Beluga. Just what
will be done with the Baelena remains to
be seen. If she is laid up for the season,
however, nobody will be surprised.
Captain Fred Nelson will bring the
Rather over from Oakland Creek in a
few days and will fit her out for sealing
cruise on the coast, after which he will
make for Japan. Nelson is one of the
most expert hunters in California and he
almos: invariably brings back a good
catch.
Captain Gus schlehan left last night for
Tacoma to join the Chilean bark Lake
Leman as first officer. The vessel is ready
to sail for Chile and only awaits the
arrival OF Schlehan in order to start on
the voyage. The captain has been
specially engaged and will receive better
salary than any chief officer on the Pacific
Coast.
No attempt will be made to get the
steam schooner Bessie K off the south
spit in Coqullle River this winter. She is
in a sale place and no damage can come
to her. After the storms are over she will
be hauled off and once more put in COM
mission. The crew will be brought to San
Francisco and paid off, and in future the
Bessie K will be in charge of watchman.
Kenttield & Co. have latterly been
dumping rubbish into an open space on
Steuart street. Yesterday Chief Engineer
Holmes of the Harbor Com mission ordered
the carriers to stop and next Tuesday he
intends laying the matter before the Com
missioners. Kentfield 81 Co. have built a
retaining wall to keep the rubbish from
drifting into the bay and they assert that
the Commissioners in consequence have
no jurisdiction.
The steam schooner Point Arena from
Point Arena has been considerably de-
have arrived last Thursday, but the
chances are it will be this afternoon before
she gets III.
The Czarina from here for Coos Bay is
also behind time, but she probably has
been delayed from the same cause. The
Czarina will be due he1e next Monday on
the return trip of her maiden voyage.
The British ship captains are preparing
for great celebration at Sausalito to-day.
There will be regatta and a social on
board the Glenesslin afterward. Nearly
every vessel in port has boat entered in
the races and some exciting contests are
expected. Captain Powles will be the
starter, but the referee will not be an
nounced until an hour before the races be-
gin. The winners are expected to come
from either the Travancore, Granada or
Glenesslin. The latter vessel VIII be the
flagship and boats will be at the landing
at Sausalito to carry guests to the various
vessels in Richardson's Bay.

FELL SIXTY FEET
TO HIS DEATH
A. F. Braun, a Carpenter,
Knocked From the
Ferry Depot.
He Was Struck by the Swing
ing of a Large Derrick
Boom.
Scarcely a Bone in His Body Was
Whole After Striking the Rock
Foundation.

Alonzo F. Braun, foreman of the car
penters employed on the new ferry build
ing at the foot of Market street, met
with a shocking death yesterday morn
ing. He fell from a high girder distance
of sixty feet from the foundation, and
when he struck his skull was burst open.
In his fall the unfortunate man hit the
iron girders and floor beams of two floors,
and scarcely bone in his body escaped
whole. He died before reaching the Re-
ceiving Hospital, and the wonder is that
he lived as long as he did.
On the north wing of the depot the iron
frame work has been completed for several
days, and number of carpenters were set
to work 10 build a tramway for cars to
carry material to the masons On the
end of this large derrick was erected to
hoist the stone to the roof.
Here it was that Braun, familiarly
known as Brown, was standing. He was
fastening the guyrope OF swinging boom
to the derrick.
In some manner that no one seemed to
be able to explain the rope slipped and the
boom swung around, striking the man a
heavy blow. He was knocked from the
girder upon which he was standing and
few seconds later his body struck heavily
upon the artificial stone foundation sixty
feet below. In his downward flight the
mans body struck several heavy iron
beams. Braun struck upon the back of
his head bursting open his skull.
A telephone message summoned the
am bulance from the Receiving Hospital,
but it was fully half an hour before the
vehicle arrived. The man was still alive,
but unconscious. He died soon after
reaching the hospital and his body was
sent to the Morgue.
Braun was single man, about 55 years
of age and he lived at 5151l Bush street.

AFTER THE NEW MAP.
Mem bers of the Grand Jury Called
Upon the Supervise in Regard
to the Matter.


The Judiciary Committee of the Board
of Supervisors received call yesterday
from Messrs. Haieht and Farnsworth of the
Grand Jury in reference 10 the new City
map, which the jury recommended that
the board refuse to accept. The jurymen
were inquisitive about certain streets that
had been expunged from the map and
other particulars about which they had
found fault.
City and County Attorney Creswell was
present to explain any legal points that
might not be clear to Messrs. Farnsworth
and Haight and after couple OF hours
talk they left apparently satisfied with
the explanations given.
