Witnesses at Variance Regard
ing Size of Crowd.
JIM DODD'S PATHETIC TALE.
One Witness Thought There Was Room for
Two Carriages 10 Pass Lieutenant Mon
roe Made a Wish-Sympathy With the
Army in its Aff1iefion - Beat Drums.

The Salvation Army was well repre-
sented in the police court yesterday
morning at the trial of Captain Zim
mers and Lieutenant Monroe for COM
public highway in Honolulu. Attorney
Stanley appeared for the defendants,
and Marshal Brown attended to the
prosecution.
Officer Paddikin testified as to max
ing the arrest of the Salvation Army
people, saying that great crowd had
tracted thither by the meeting that was
in progress. Another officer who came
from the direction of Bethel street bore
out the testimony of officer Paddikin.
E. c. McCandless was the first wit
ness for the defense. and testified that
there was no crowd present on the oc-
pie present that he was set to wonder
ing where the people were. He said fur
Their that the Army was occupying so
little of the street that two carriages
could pass without the least trouble.
James Dodd was next called, and be-
fore giving his testimony begged leave
and was granted the request to say
few words. He wished the court to
understand that he was placed in
rather nrecariouS DoSition
Il am a rum seller" said Jim, land
these Salvation Army people come in
front of my saloon and say: Beware
of the destiny of the rum seller! Well,
haven't any fault to find with them.
They have never done me any harm.
1 feel sure the Marshal must have been
misinformed.
On direct testimony Jim Dodd said
officer Paddikin had made the arrest,
and that when Lieutenant Monroe
found she was under arrest she said
she hoped they would all meet again
in Heaven or some such place. At that
time they were marching directly to the
police station.
Captain Zimmers, sworn, stated:
There were some twelve or thirteen
of us in the army that night. Had an
exceptionally small audience. We al
ways beat drums on the march except
when we see scared horses
Cross-examined: Did not know the
charge against us, except that we were
in for common nuisance. Yes, we beat
the drums on the way to the police
station. Do we beat drums while un-
der arrest? Well, have never been
under arrest before"
Lieutenant Monroe testified as to the
small number of people present at the
meeting and as to her little speech after
the arrest.
Attorney Stanley took the stand and
stated that the ladies had called at his
office on Monday morning and stated
that at that time they had not the
slightest idea for what they had been
arrested. other than that it was for
common nuisance.
Judge De La Vergne found defend
ants not guilty and discharged them.

Treatment of Chilhlnlns.

The medical expert of the European
edition of the New York Herald dis
cusses the treatment OF chilblains
proposed by M. Montmollin, Swiss
physician. This treatment is very
simple, consisting in washing the
hands four times day from fifteen
to thirty minutes in a tepid solu-
tion of tannin in water, l to 100,
and twice in soap water for fifteen
minutes. He claims that the chill
blains can thus be cured in two weeks.
But, simple as this treatment is, few
people who suffer from chilblains
can afford to spend two to three hours
day for fortnight in the manner
prescribed by Dr. Montmollin. Our
foreign medical correspondent pro.
poses a more expeditions and appar-
emily an equally efficacious remedy.
He says:
"For long time now 1 have had
good results from prescribing q mix
ture of almond paste, mustard powder
and tannin, for washing the hands,
and saturated solution of picric acid
in water to be applied twice a day to
the swollen and even liberated skin.
With the first mentioned compound
the sensitiveness to cold is awakened,
and consequently greater care is taken
in protecting the extremities against
changes of temperature, while with
the latter the chilblain becomes less
painful.
"Hhis treatment, which is really eff.
fcacious, is very simple and extremely
easy to carry out"

INC OYster Snn PlentlrnI.

"Ihere may be an end to the oyster
business some time" remarked an old
oysterman. "but it won't come for
many years yet. The oyster beds of
Chesapeake Bay alone are 5000 square
miles in extent, and while the oysters
there are probably not as plentiful as
they were some years ago, there is
still good supply, Notwithstanding
the number dredged yearly. OF late
years the supply has been very con.
siderably increased, owing TO the
millions of small oysters dredged off
the coast of the C4rolinas, and planted
in the Chesapeake Bay to grow. When
the ocean oyster is first dredged it is
too salt to eat. Jn several years, how
ever, it loses its fiery and very salt
taste and soon increases in size.
Though oystsrs are plentiful all along
Lond Island Sound, and good, too,
yet the great supply is taken from
Chesapeake Bay, the annual yield of
which is over 1000, 900 bushels. -
