THE KETcHAM CASE.
Curious Coincidence That Has Jhst De-
veloped In Chicago.

Of the Ketcham case has developed.
Two women interested in the outcome
have unknown to each other been
near neighbors in this city. They are
Mrs. Ketcham and Mrs. Frank l.. I'll
tus. niece of John Walkup, ex-mayor
Of Emporia. Kan. who made Mrs.
Ketcham, then 10 years old, his wife
and died shortly afterward from ar
senic poisoning. Mrs. Titus was quite
young at the time of the trial in Kan
sas, but remembers distinctly the mys-
terious death of John Walkup, tho trial
Of the child wife for murder and the
speedy and dramatic acQuittal.
BY a strange coincidence Mabel Wal
lace and Mrs. Titus have been living
within few blocks of each other in
Chicago, but neither knew of the ex-
istence Of the other. and it was not
until the sensation over the death of
John b. Ketcham again drew public
attention to Mabel Wallace (Mrs.
Ketcham) that Mrs. Titus knew the
dark eyed woman who was acquitted
Of having caused the death Of her un-
Gle had been her neighbor.

supposed to have started from water
leaking into the coal bunkers. This
would eventually cause a terrific heat
from accommodating gases. Luckily the
flames were discovered before they had

ARTISTS IN EMBRYO.
Members First View Night at the
Kilohana Art League.

Our local Art League and it's pat
rons must be heartily congratulated
upon its opening last evening; for
the Fall exhibit attracted quite a
considerable number of the elite OF
Honolulu, in works intellectual and
progressive, as we'll as the more i'm
materialistic functions of society.
Honolulu is essentially an intel
lectual city, and compares most
favorably with many California
burghs in all lines OF thought,
mental fertility and manual dexter
ity and now having invaded the
lofty realms OF art and poesy
matsrialzed, thanks to the efforts,
under many discouraging surround
ings, OF the Kilohaua Art League, is
making most satisfactory progress
in this direction, as was noticed by
necessarily brief glance at the
beautiful collection OF artistic handi-
craft arranged in the Club rooms
last evening. Society made its bow
last night, and the kindly reviewer,
for art should be encouraged not
strapped down just as it desires to
soar, will by degrees appear upon
the scene.
The rooms were tastefully decor
ated to add to the charming effect
and not to overload to safety and
Mrs. F. h. Day, Mrs. w. F. Allen and
Mrs. r. D. Walbridge received on be-
half Of the League with infinite
courtesy and tact. The American Min
lister and other distinguished persons
honored the reception with their
presence. The list Of contributors
is unusually large and there are
some very meritorious works dis
| played.

a move on aud look into the future
conditions OF the race track at Ka-

A meeting Of the Jockey Club
ought to be- called at once, and the
members ought to unanimously
appropriate the funds in possession
of the Treasurer OF the organization
for the repair and improvement Of
the present track.
Private individuals have sub
scribed over $500 to help in defray-
ing the expenses OF putting the
track in proper shape, and there
should be no doubt that the club
will follow suit aud assist in prepar-
ing race track acceptable to all
owners OF racing stock.
II the members Of the Jockey Club
are too indifferent to attend meet
ing, the object OF which is the i'm
provement OF the track, they had
better let the management OF the
club go into other hands.
There is no time for further de.
lay. If the track is to be in such
a shape as viii warrant horse owners
