or JEFF Seay he as calls him. TO use
Hibernicfsm the war lasted in Arkansas
fully year after 1t was over and there
was there a man named Monk who was IN

Monk was afraid TO interfere because many
Of his men had been under the command
OF Seay during the war. In further Illus
trating the personal bravery OF Judge Seay
he told the story of how he stood of a big
party of iynchers at the Jail Of Union coun-
ty Missouri. A man was held in the jail
there for murder when a large delegation
OF lynchers came down from Gasconade
county and demanded the prisoner. Judge

Mr.. Parker is one Of the prominent Re-
rublicans Of Missouri and ran for congress

who was accused of killing young fellow
named Miller. Owens was deputy sheriff
m Oklahoma county and had a warrant
for Miller. for some offense. He traced him
over into the Seminole country and there
killed him. Mr.. Lewis says that Miller was
shot twice in the back. which did not at all
harmonize with the theory of self-defense

jurisdiction IN the Seminole country and
that was the reason he was tried at Fort
Smith, for murder. He was acquitted. II

FRENCH LANGUAGE.
First Lecture in the Course
Given by Mile. BOegli.

The initial lecture in the French and
German literature course by Mile. b.
egli was given yesterday afternoon be-
fore a large circle of interested ladies
There were many who came with note
books, and the pencils were kept bus
lily employed as the narrator led from
the origin of the French language
through the earlier centuries of it's de-
velopment. Professor Scott, in his in.
troductOry remarks, intimated the re-
latiOn of language and literature to all
history and social development, and
there is much food for thought and re-
search suggested, as the different So
cial and national events were cited by
the lecturer to show from what the
language of the present day has been
evolved.
The original Gaelic for the start, was
modified at the time of Caesars in
vasiOn, not by the classical, but by the
vulgar Latin, that of the soldier and
the peasant. In the ninth century
there developed two distinct branches
the Langue doll and the Langue doc.
In the latter was expressed the lyric
verse, and from having been once the
purist and the language of the court, is
now become provincial.
This, too, was the language of the
TrOubadOrs, whose verse was laden
with love and passion, and whose itin-
Grant habits in passing from castle to
castle has preserved no literature, and
it's beauty was transient. In the
Langue doll, however, was expressed
the epic verse, no touch of love, but
rather the exalted themes of patriot
ism. Thus is preserved to us what is
really the French epic, Chanson de
Roland.
Mile. Boegli is not numbered by notes
or manuscripts, but speaks from the
heart, and the resources of her knowl-
edge in what cannot fail to be fas-
cinating topic for her hearers to profit
by. That this is the case was evinced
by those of studious thought and Gull
tured mind who listened to her words
and stored them in notes or in mem
DRY, with suggestion which may be fol-
lowed out in other phases of literary
enjoyment. It will be a treat to hear
the origin of German literature thus
capably handled next Friday after
noon, and the two languages will thus
be treated alternately in course which
may seem all to short for those who ex-
pect to gain pleasure and profit thereby.

Tariff


| In the United States the Government
allows rebate to the manufacturers
on all agate ware shipped out of the
country. 1t is one Of the fine points in
the tariff question, and enables the for
eign importer to compete with dealers
| in the United States in the sale of these
articles. 1t makes it possible for our
customers to buy such goods from us
at lower prices than they can buy
| them in San Francisco. The appended
list shows but a few of the articles in
this line sold by us, and where more
than one price is given, it will be un-
| derstood that the price is graded with
the different sizes Of the articles. In
every instance you will observe that
our prices are much lower than the
same goods may be bought for at the
Coast. These prices are taken from
the catalogue of one of the largest
House-Furnishing Goods dealers in San
Francisco; it is bona-fide, and the
goods are identical in quality as those
advertised in the catalogue. It is hard
to believe that the people of Honolulu

buy such goods for less money:

WHIPPING BALKY HoRsEs.-Not-
withstanding the fact that the press
continually admonisbes whom it may
concern that it does no good to whip
or pound a balky horse, almost every
owner or driver of one does it today.
1t is probably the greatest piece of
horse folly in existence, declares The
National Stockman. It is not a rem
nant of barbarism, but it is continued
barbarity, and brings out what origi-
nal sin there is in man.
The brain of a horse can retain but
one idea at time. IF the idea is to
sulk, whipping only intensifies it. A
change of that idea, then, is the only
successful method of management.
This may be accomplished in scores of
ways, a few of which are here named !:
Tie a handkerchief about his eyes |;
tie his tail to the bellyband or the
backband fasten a stick in bis mouth {;
tie cord tightly about his leg; clasp
his nostrils and shut his wind off until
he wants to go unhitch him from the
vehicle, and then hitch him up again,
or almost anyway to get his mind on
something else.
Whipping or scolding always does
harm. The treatment should always
be gentle. There are more balky dri-
vers than balky horses.
