THE OPERATORS STORY,
Ono About tho Yellow Fever-Hard to
Believe.

Ono About tho Yellow Fever-Hard to
It was at smoker and foamer of
the telegraph operators that the dean
OF the key jugglers told this one, says
the Detroit Free Press: What brings
it to mind is the yellow fever reports
from the south. All that you read can
give you no proper conception of the
reign of terror prevailing down there
during the epidemic. When the first
ran a railroad into one OF the richest
mining districts of Alabama I was
made operator of little cross roads
station. 1t took long time to con-
vince the natives that I could talk to
all parts Of the world with that little
'clickin' machine of mine. I finally
was able to convince them. The wife
OF one of their number had gone to
Mobile to attend sick daughter who
had been the beauty of the neighbor-
hood and had immortalized her men,
DRY by being taken to some other part
Of the world by rich husband.
Through an arrangement with the Mo-
bile operator the old couple carried
on a conversation of such a personal
nature that neither could doubt the
identity of the other. Then the COM
mon superstition of the people inter-
vened and they concluded that the in
strument was an invention of the dey-
IL. While they were in this frame of
mind there came the news of the yell
low fever. Force was the most nat
ura1 way of resisting all kinds of evils
down there and for days the depot was
occupied by armed men. Never was
a more efficient quarantine established.
No one could get on or off of the cars
at that point. Even conductors, brake
men, engineers and firemen had to
stick to their posts. One day I re-
ceived a telegram from New Orleans
for a gentleman who was held by the
quarantine. It announced that his son
was better and would survive. Fool
ishly read it to the grim guard in the
depot. They snatched the message
from me with a howl, all the more saw
age because the paper was yellow.
They burned it, wrecked the instru-
ment, cut the wires and came mighty
near lynching me for exposing them
to yellow fever"

/ declared that the stuff was opium in

Attorney Neumann then moved for
| a discharge on the ground that no evil

| Alameda the opium found on the per-
/ son of Sutton. Defendant was ready
to plead guilty to unlawful possession
Marshal Brown contended that there
was strong circumstantial evidence to
prove the defendant guilty of the
charge. Attorney Neumann accused
The Marshal of indulging in the very
bad habit of drawing upon his imag
nation for facts.
Judge De La Vergne found defend
ant not guilty of the charge and dis
charged him
Sutton was next charged with I'M
lawful possession of opium, and to
this he plead guilty. Marshal Brown
addressed the Court, saying that he
thought that fine was not all neces-
sary in the case on trial. He asked for
imprisonment for a term. Attorney
Neumann called the attention of the
Court to the fact that defendant had
plead guilty. and that it was the first
offense on his part. Deputy Attorney
Dole who was present. upheld Mar
shall Brown. Judge De La Vergne then
sentenced defendant to pay fine of
$3.50 and imprisonment at hard labor
for one month.
Attorney Neumann appealed for a
mitigation of sentence, and bail was
set at $3.50. Mr. Irwin appeared at this
jupcture and signed his name to the
papers which freed Sutton.
At 40 q. m. the purser went on
board the steamer, and then FASTENED
up town again to complete arrange
ments. The Alameda got away about
) p. m. with Purser Sutton congratu-
lating himself on getting out of Homo

INTERESTED SPECTATOR.
Sutton Case Causes Merriment in
District Court.


The trial of Sutton, for opium in
! possession, yesterday had it's funny
tside, though Sutton cid not see Il
Among the spectators were a number
Of the passengers from the Alameda
most of these, from their dress and
| dialect, were Britons. Among the
number was a lady wearing hat that
would have made the wearer liable tC
d fine in any theater in the United
States.
That the lady felt deep interest in
the case was manifested by her ac-
| tons throughout the trial. Especially
did she show her disgust for the af-
fair when Marshal Brown spoke bit
terly of Sutton's smuggling propensity
In her right hand she carried an Ha-
waiian fan. which had lost its handle
through hard usage during Marshal
Browns argument. She seemed I'M
relenting in her efforts to fan herself
into a perspiration.
Once or twice she muttered her dis
approval of the Marshafs language,
and seemed on the point of remon-
strating with the young man. The
mann told what a real nice man SUIT
ton is without abiding to his double
seated trousers. During these short
moments the lady's head bobbed as
sent in such pizZicato time that the
huge bow of flaming red ribbon was
in danger of falling off Once when
prison was mentioned, the young lady
was on the verge of total collapse, I'M
- ~ - l.
whispered: Cheer up: it's only q ru-
NOR" Then she looked as pleasant as
a bud sitting for her photograph.
When the charge of importing opium
against Sutton was dismissed she was
ready to yell, but was restrained by
the somber surroundings of the Court
and the dignity Of the situation, but
she shook, just the same.
The steamer was booked to leave at
O'Clock. but even as the hands
crawled around to that hour she
showed no disposition to leave the
room. When she heard the first part
of the sentence 1.-TWO hundred and
fifty dollars fine" she clapped her
hands. but when the Judge added,
slowly. and one month in prison. "
her pulse went up to 104, and she
whispered 10 the coloiidlo eiouhu C'IS
contempt she had for the whole pro-
ceeding. She waited until the amount
Of the bail was fixed; then. with her
companions. left the court room. AS
they passed down the stairs, the young
lady was heard to remark: Il think
that prosecutor is real mean; 1 hate
him." A reporter at her elbow sug-
gested that the same opinion was held
by every person convicted through his
efforts. Once more she smiled and was
lost to view as she passed out the
door.

FAR and AWAY AHEAD.

The new features of the ~ Reming-
ton are by this time familiar to al
most every wheelman and wheelwo-
man in Honolulu, but for the benefit
of those who have not yet had an OPP
portunity to visit our store, we give
below the most noticeable improve
ments, aside from those previously
mentioned:
In the "'97" Remington the gearing
has been improved by making the
sprockets of cycloidal cut, with the
addition of a fangc or shoulder, 10
carry the side plates of the chain, thus
distributing the friction and prevent
ing the vibration, which is very notice
able in chain running over the orGi-
nary sprocket.
In the crank-hanger bearings the
new form of construction is such that
by the removal of one screw and the
left crank the entire bearing can be
taken out intact, without displacing
the balls. The advantage of this for
the purpose OF cleaning or adjusting
bearings, is obvious. The bayonet-
shaped crank, which is original with
the Remington bicycle, is retained iG
the new models, as it is undoubtedly
stronger than any other form of crank
obtainable

The afternoon Newspaper.

Newspaper men" says the Lancaster
EconaineT, ARE recognizing the grow
ing Importance of the evening journal,
and it is not uncommon for those who
make up the morning paper, the editors
aud reporters, to tell you how much
they can condsnse from the evening
papers for the next day edition. The
exchanges morning paper refers to or
reads are the journals of the preceding
evening. Take the leading evening
papers of Philadelphia, read them and
the next mornings papers, and then
consider how much essential news you
have got first from the latter. We say
this because people are apt 80 be non
critical, and to call their asten sion to
the fact that the worlds business is
done in daytime-no0 at night. This
is so often overlooked that men read to-
morrow what waa n the evening paper
and give the latter No credit
