FOR PEARL BRYAN's MURDER.
Trial of Scott jackson Begun Yester-
day in Kentucky

Newport, Ky, April 21.-The trial
of Scott Jackson for the murder of
Pearl Bryan began before Judge Helm
to-day. The court was jammed in ey-
cry corner, but the utmost decorum
was observed, and the proceedings went
on without any sort of interruption.
Twelve jurors were examined and six
of them chosen. Then six more were
called and three chosen. Thus before
noon nine jurors we're in the box OF
excused, seven were on account Of hav-
ing formed an opinion, one on account
of illness and one because of scruples
against capital punishment.
Later the jury in the Scott jackson
case was completed. Only three per-
emptory challenges were made.
Scott Jackson protested bitterly a.
gainst coming into court handcuffed,
but Sheriff Plummer insisted ON it,
owing to the large crowd. jackson
was cool and consulted freely with his
attorneys. i. j. Crawford, w C. Shep-
perd and Geo. Washington. Prosecu-
tor Lockhart and Col. Nelson for the
commonwealth accepted jurors readily
and are ready for speedy work. The
excuses from the jurors themselves
who objected to serving caused most
of the delay. Although admission was
by ticket, the room was crowded and
some with tickets could not get in.
Only four ladies were admitted. Pro-
scouting attorneys have given notice
that the evidence will be such that no
ladies should be in the court room.

RussELL's BOON LAUNCHED.
Massachusetts Democrats indorse Him
For President.

Boston, Mass, April 21.-With en-
thusiasm almost as great as that which
was noted at the recent
State convention of the Republicans
when Hon Il. b. Reed was endorsed
as a Presidential candidate, the Demo
Gratis of the State to-day set their APP
proyal upon Grover Cleveland as Pres
ident and named ex-Gov. William Il.
Russell as their choice for the nomina-
ton to be President Cleveland's sue
e@ssCT.
Judge John w. Corcoran called the
convention to order and Thomas Gar
gan, of Boston, was named as chairman
of the committee on resolutions and
Hon. Jno. Il. Thayer, of Worcester, was
chosen permanent chairman.
In opening, the platform declares
that never in any epoch of our coun-
try's history has the executive chair
been filled by a broader minded states
man than the present one, Grover Cleve-
land" and he is congratulated upon
his ''frmness, ability and wisdom
with which he has conducted his Of
fee.
On finance the platform reads:
believing that the true interests Of
the people require that the earnings
of the trade and the wages of labor
be paid in money that is intrinsically
worth, in all the markets of the world,
what it purports to be worth, we de-
mand the maintenance of the existing
gold standard of value and that the
government shall keep all its obliga-
tions at all times redeemable and pay
able in gold; and we oppose the free
coinage of silver and any further pur-
chases of silver bullion or the coinage
thereof on government account We de-
mand that the necessity for an ade-
quate medium of exchange in ak sec
tions of our country shall be met by
provision for an elastic banking cur
rency, subject to such government
control as shall insure uniformity and
redemption in standard coin on de-
mand"
Thanks are rendered Secretary Car
Isle for his course as Secretary of the
Treasury and for his presentation of
the money question in addresses and
papers.
The admission of raw material free
of duty is recommended. The sup

monopolies is demanded. 1t is demand
ed that the legislative cooperate with
the executive department i'm efforts for
further reform Of the civil service.
Sympathy with the Cuban insurrec-
tionists is expressed.
The A. p. A. is denounced and the
platform conclues as follows:
Following a long established Demo
cratic custom the Democrats Of Massa-
chusetts in convention assembled will
not in any way instruct or pledge
their delegates, but they do declare
party of the State to present and
they earnestly recommend to the con-
sideration of the National convention
to be held in Chicago as their candi-
United States. their victorious, cour-
ageous, high principled Ex-Governor

Last Weeks Steamer

brought us some of the hand
soonest little gold chatelaine
watches ever seen. Beautifully
enameled in reds and blues, set
with diamonds, and without
them; others with rows Of
pearls and other gems. All
made to run and keep good
time.
All have handsome gem set
brooches to match, and the
"toot and scramble" of the
whole is truly beautiful. They
belong to a class of watch not
her, tof re imported, and we
take pride in showing them to
our customers. The prices are
not as hlgn as one would ina
CINE for such high grade goods;
ranging from $4,000 up.
Our small oxidised chate-
laine watch at $500 must also
not be overlooked. For a watch
costing almost nothing; run
ming well, and rich looking,
this cannot be equaled by any
thing we have seen.
Our agency for one of the
best Swiss watch manufacture
ers, enables US to place before
you, designs which are exclu-
sive and unique, and move
ments which for time keeping
qualities cannot be excelled.
You will be surprised how
fine a "Non-magnetic" silver
watch we can sell you for $l4.

magnetic influences; which in
this age of electricity is a point
of incalculable value. No mat
ter what grade Of watch you
are going to buy, ours is the
stock to pick it from; because
no other stock is half as large,
no other stock contains the ex-
elusive patterns, and no other
prices IN come down to ours;
AND WE GUARANTEE
EVERY SCREW in them.

THE BLACK PLAGUE.

According to an Oriental pa,
per-" says a Tacoma dispatch Of
April 30, it has developed that
the Gaelic, bound for San Fran.
cisco, was responsible for intro
ducing the black plague into Yo-
kohama." Reference is made, as
seen by the particulars given in
the dispatch, to the Chinese pas
sengcr left at Yokohama and who
died there, warning of which was
cabled by Mr.. Irwin, Hawaiian
charge 'daffaires at Toxic, to this
Government in anticipation of
the Gaelic's arrival at Honolulu.
1t is also reported that a case
occurred on the Chittagong,w which
arrived at Tacoma a few days be-
fore the date of this dispatch.
There is information the same
way that the disease has spread
rapidly from east to west through
out the Orient. No medicine
that is known can stay it. DR.. f.
Arnold, y. S. n, who was sent to
China by the United States Gov
eminent to study the black plague,
believes that the disorder will
spread still further. Being thus
forwarned by these facts it is in
the highest decree incumbent up
on this Government to be fore
armed against the admission of
the dread pestilence here. There
was a liability, for all we know,
that the Gaelic should have land
ed a case of the disease here in
stead of, or in addition to, that at
Yokohama. For years before the
epidemic of cholera struck this
port last year, we gave occasional
warnings of danger regarding it.
1t is to be hoped that, with regard
to the black plague, our authori-
ties will not be caught mapping.

the coffee and other produce could be shipped

splendid coffee land lying all on one block on
both sides OF the Government Road. Eight
hundred acres lying above and to the East of
the seven hundred acres above mentioned is
also excellent land and although at "a higher

coffee culture. The lower land below the

and water tanks at the plantation, aud the
land is partly walled. There has never been
any blight on this land, although coffee was

fact. There is sea fishery appurtenant to

According to our representative

According to our representative
now on a visit to Hawaii, there is
much dissatisfaction among coffee
planters, regarding the reserva-
ton of a deep forest belt along
the Volcano road. 1t is said that
the rule was made at the instsnce
of a few faddists. The coffee
growers of Hawaii are a valuable
class and anything reasonable
that they have to submit to the
Government ought to receive the
best consideration. There does
seem to be an absurdity in COM
polling such a valuable and not
monumental growth like coffee
to take second place to a rugged
and unproductive forest.

MISS KATE FIELD.

The sudden and unexpected
news of the death of Miss Kate
Field was received by the commu-
nifty with genuine sorrow and re-
greet. During her stay here she
had so much identified herself
with US and become so generally
well-known in social way that
she will be missed as if she had
been one of the old residents. The
history of the talented journalist,
actress, singer, lecturer and writer
is so well known as to become al
most tiresome in its repetition.
First an actress, then a woman's
suffrage lecturer, she obtained
national reputation by exposing
the doctrines of Mormonism, liv-
ing for time among them for the
purpose of getting the inside
facts connected with the PERM
cious practices connected with
polygamy. To her efforts in
this direction is due much
of the legislation that hes
put an end to the practice of
polygamy in the United States.
Her ambition and faith in her
own talents led her to start
newspaper of her own which she
dubbed "Kate Fields Washing
tonian." The paper was not a
success, and after sinking a for
tune in it and working herself al
most to death she was compelled
to discontinue its publication.
This was about year ago. Tired,
WORKOUT and financially ruined
she was not discouraged, but an
nounced her intention of starting
the paper again as soon as she
could accumulate enough from
writing and lecturing, which she
intended to resume as soon as her
health permitted. 1t was at this
juncture that Mr.. Kohlsaat, the
proprietor of the Chicago Times
Herald, offered to send her to
Hawaii as special correspondent of
that paper.She was to have absolute
freedom to write what she pleased
and as much as she pleased about
the Islands and in the meantime
to study the annexation problem.
How well she performed her
work is known to all. Although
occasionally wrong in some of her
ideas, which had really become
fads, her writings on Hawaii have
shown an evident desire to get at
the bottom facts and publish the
truth only. Those who were
fortunate in her acquaintance, of

The filter has not been

tical in shape and manufacture
is called the Success. Ours is
just as good without a name
