James L. Crittendon is still seeking
through a writ of habeas corpus to es-
cape the fine of s100 for contempt of
court imposed upon him some months

into court.

view of the law, but declined to inter-
fere with the order of judge of equal
authority and jurisdiction, and advised

this advice. and instead swore out a
new writ OF habeas corpus before Judge
Cook.
The latter judge announced today that
should he be unable to agree with the
conclusions of Judge Slack he would
allow the writ and order the prisoner
discharged. The case is now under ad-

Need for . United States Cruiser in the

,WAsH1NdToN, Dec. 2.-Reports that
came to the state department late in
the afternoon from Hayti were to the
effect that considerable excitement pre-
vailed there and that the situation was
grave. For this reason it was deter.
mined to hasten the departure of the
Marblehead and the naval officials were
communicated with to this end. The
impression appeared to prevail in Port
au Prince that a German warship was
rapidly approaching the place. OF
course it is stated that the Marblehead
goes solely for the purpose of protecting
American interests that might be
threatened by the outbreak of disorders
in Hayti. The latest advices from Ger
man sources, however, indicate that no
occasion will be given for friction be-
tween the United States and Germany
on account of the Haytian difficulty,
and that the matter will be adjusted.

Home Ways Of Summer Life Among the

Gardens excepted, there are no out

summer houses occupying all the pic

there is a view worth going to see you
will almost certainly find a summer
house built to command it, nc matter
how wild or poor the district.
You will find summer houses cling
ing to sea cliffs wei the thunder Of
breakers, nesting in shadows Of gorges
over the roaring Of rapids, strutted out
over the precipice fronts like eagles
nests at the verge of dead c~raters, for
in Japan there will always be summer
guests wherever there is summer beauty,
travellers happy to please their eyes
and rest their feet and to leave some
coppers in payment for the privilege of
the vision and the repose.
The summer house at which l am
now staying is typical of the class, a

perhaps $50. Timber is cheap here. On
the other side of Japan such a build

stands on the edge of a lofty cliff and
overlooks a little bay near ancient
Moinoseki. From ground floor to roof
it is open On three sides, and on the
seward side shelter from the sun and
wind is given by trees rooted in the
cliff below, but towering far above the
eaves-enormous pines, with branches
many feet in girth. Between the zig

glimpses Of the sea and fishing sails

yellow butterflies, and the far pale

like some prodigious blue crystal, or,
looking directly down over the needle

the world as a fishhawk views it.

sensations. After a swim it is delight.
