A CUSTOM THAT WILL BE URGED
IN HAWAII.
The Prisoner Who Has Excellent De-
pertinent, has Repented and is De-
serving of Pardon, Fortunate.

1t is not altogeter unlikely that a
Christmas pardon will be granted 10
some one of the prisoners in Oahu
prison. This is a custom that is in
vogue in many of the States and it
has been looked upon favorably by
one of President Dole's Cabinet Min
listers.
He will lay the suggestion before
the Cabinet, it is believed. In Colora-
do the Governor receives from the
warden shortly before Christmas n
statement concerning the conduct of
each prisoner during the year. The
man whose department is excellent.
and who the executive believes has
fully repented for his crime, and is
deserving of a pardon, gets the gift.
The pardon is made out secretly by
the Governor in person, enclosed in an
envelop. bearing the state seal 1t is
not to be opened by the warden until
Christmas morning. No one knows,
save the Governor, who is the fortu.
nate man.
On Christmas morning the convicts
are lined up and the warden opens the
Governors letter in their presence.
The name of the pardoned man is
then announced. Such a Christmas
gift is joyously received and is one
that is never forgotten by the recfp-
lent.
The practice now in vogue in Ha-
waii is by petition. The friends or
relatives of convicted man petition
the President, who laws the matter
before the Cabinet. If favorable a
meeting of the Council of State is call

FATAL RUNAWAY,

A horse belonging to Policeman
Broshaw ran away and broke its neck
yesterday under most peculiar circum-
stances. The horse was brought
down from Molol<ai few months ago,
and had just been broken to the sad
die. When Broshaw went into the
stable at the police station to bride
it yesterday, the horse threw up its
head, striking the officer with such
force under the chin that he was
knocked down. Before he could get
up, the animal was out of the stable
and away. Half an hour later the
carcass of the animal was found in the
road opposite the Reform school. In
some strange manner it had fallen
and broken its neck

arrived from the Coast a few days ago
on the barkentine Irmgard, is confin-
ed in a padded cell at the City Prison,
suffering from mental unbalance. He
created a disturbance last night in
the Queen hotel, where he has been
stopping. CHINO is rational enough
most of the time, but occasionally be-
comes erratic and noisy. While on the
lrmgard Captain Schmidt noticed he
acted peculiarly, and formed the be-
lief that he is victim of morphine.
CHINO is but 22 years of age. He. has

WONDERFUL SIGHTS.

The Veriscope Exhibition Sur
passes Greatest Expectations.
The first exhibition of the veriscope
in Honolulu at the Hawaiian Opera
House was satisfactory one to an
audience much smaller than the char
acter of the entertainment warranted.
The cause of the smallness in attend
ance may be attributed to the fact that
very few people really knew what the
veriscope was.
The idea prevailed that the invention
was mere magic lantern exhibition.
In this they were mistaken, for while
it is in the nature of a stereopticon the
subjects move as in a kaleidoscope, the
only difference being that in the ex-
hibition last night the figures were life
size.
There were seven views in the COL
lection, six of which were repeated i'm
the last half of the exhibition. The
first one was familiar home scene. in
which father, mother and infant ap-
peared. "a Watermelon Contest. ar
rival of the Empire State Express"
lie fSITy DUAL chicago arriving at
the Slip in New York" "The Great
Mckinley Parade" "The Spanish Bull
Fight" and the New York Fire De-
partment on Active Duty"
Some of the views were presented
rather better than others, presumably
owing to the fact that this was the
first night of the show here, and the
machinery may not have been in good
working order. The scenes presented
were as realistic as if the audience had
been looking through a mammoth glass
window at the events taking place.
There was everything but the sound
of voices, and in the bull fight it re-
quired no stretch of the Imagination
for one to think the battle itself was
| taking place a few feet away. The
| scene was almost indescribable. The
great fire scene was a wonderful sight,
for everything in the picture was as
it appears on such occasions in a large
city the very breathing of the horses
could be noticed, as they stand facing
| the audience after the run to the scene
of the fire.
Honolulu people may not again have
| an opportunity to witness this wonder
| full exhibition, and to those who did
not go last night there can be only
| regrets.

The Late Judge ". ". Crump.

The Board of Visitors of the Medical
College of Virginia, In recording the great
loss which they have sustained by reason
of the death of their former president,
Judge William w. Crump. will not at
tempt TO depict his many noble qualities
or recount his great public services to
the State and community in which he
lived. This has already been done by the
eloquent hand of one of his professional
brethren, and they content themselves
with giving their hearty approval of the
splendid memorial of his life and charac-
ter prepared by the Bar of the city Of
Richmond.
They wish TO record, however, the adj
mration which his talents excited, the
respect which his services demanded and
the love and affection which an intimate
association with him inspired in the men,
bers of this board.
During the whole period of his connec-
lion with the Medical College of Virginia,
Judge Crump regarded the advancement
Of its interests as a sacred trust 10 be
discharged by an absolute devotion OF
all the energies Of his head and heart.
No labor was too great, no time too pre-
cious to expend in its service. When,
with the coming Of the years. its useful
ness was extended. and the number or
its students increased, Judge Crump
found a rich reward for his devotion in
the prosperity Of the institution, over
which he presided. the growth OF its
sphere of usefulness. and the enlarge
mcnt OF its various departments
TIE niche which he filled in the insti-
tuition can no mere be filled than that
which he occupied in our hearts. Though
dead. his example lives with us. ana the
bestowal OF his friendship Will always
be recalled as one Of the richest OF our
inheritance.
A devoted son Of Virginia, we yet ind
