A writer whose works are familiar
to every embryo lawyer the whole
world over, and yet maintain the re-
spect and reverence of the highest
intellects in that noble profession,
lays down as a self-evident truth
that "every wanton and causeless
restraint OF the will Of the subject,
whether practised by a monarch, a
nobility or popular assembly, is a
degree Of tyranny" How many de-
grees OF tyranny have we in Haw ali
under our Oligarchy7 If we had
free government, and free elector-
ate, instead of one composed mainly
OF government servants and Especial
service" aliens OF brief residence, a
plebiscite would have been called
long before now to ascertain the
wishes of the people in regard to
annexation.

BOB PARKERS HIGH KICKER.
He Gave Professor Gleason a Hard TuSSle
Last Night.
On Friday Night the Professor VIII
Tackle "the Brighton
Terror"

Professor Gleason had no picnic" last
night in his horse tanning exhibition at
the Pavilion.
Among the animals brought forward
for him to subdue was one owned by
r. w. Parker, the street contractor,
and he was daisy. No one can har-
ness this animal except when he is in
his stall and the man handling the har-
ness is protected by partition. And as
flor kicking, why that horse stood on one
fore leg 0he other being tied up) and
kicked the professors little wagon half
way across the ring-and the professors
darky assistant with it.
Then the brute dragged Gleason and
two other men out of the ring and
climbed over two rows of chairs that
the auditors had hurriedly vacated. The
horse is hardened in his viciousness and
fought like a Trojan against his
would-be conquerors. 1t was only when
the professor placed the pulleys on both
the animals forelegs that he had him
at his mercy Then he introduced
him to the tin-pan and drum brigade,
and before he quit the horse was about
half-convinced that the professor was
too much for him.
Gleason had an easier time Of it with
several other horses on which he ex-
perimented last evening. One was
fine animal that was almost afraid Of
its own shadow After a little while he
stood still while a drum was placed on
his back and vigorously beaten, tin cans
ratified in his face, fire-crackers eX-
plOded beneath him and flags 1aunted
before his eyes.
With another horse of similar faults
he was equally successfully, and then
they were harnessed together and
driven about the ring, stopping when
ordered, and paying no heed to music,
armfuls of paper thrown in their faces,
etc
All the time the professor is working
with his horses he talks to his auditors,
explaining to them why he does thus
and so, and telling them how to handle
their animals so as to give them conf
dence and to teach them what is wanted
of them.
There will be no performance to-
night, as all Of Gleason's men will go TO
Brighton to assist in getting black
horse that is "a holy terror" Several
men tried to catch him yesterday, but
he gave a snort, flew away over the
fences and left them in the lurch. Glea-
son wants to show that he can con-
quer this defiant creature, and will
spend to-day and tomorrow, if neces-
sary, In getting him here.
When that black horse gets in the
ring there will be fun" said a man last
night who knows the creature, "and if
Gleason can tame him he is better
man than think he is, or any man can
be-"
However, Gleason says that's just the
kind of horses he likes to handle, and
If the Brighton terror can be caught
he will guarantee to make him do just
what he wants him to.
There should be big crowd at the
Pavilion on Friday night to witness this
exhibition. The gallery is a good safe
place from which to view the show,
for even the Parker horse cannot climb
up there though he can come as near
doing it as any horse that lives.

, KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
Last Evenings Entertainment by the
Local Lodges.

One of the most successful and largest
attended fraternal entertainments OF
the season was given last evening at
Pythian Castle by the Pythian local
lodge committee, assisted by the Rath-
bone sisters.
The lower hall was filed to its utmost
capacity with citizens of the city, as
well as many visiting members OF the
order from different parts of the State
who are attending the Legislature.
Among the latter were Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Jeter, who made the opening ad-
dress on The Origin, Aims and OBJ
jects of the Order" which was listened
to with unusual interest.

Sir" Miss Pearl Baldwin; sparring, L.
a Payen and Mr.. Conway, also by the
Rubenstein brothers; humorous
sketches, II. L. Pritchard; Endowment

mittee); address, Senator E. 1. Wolf, on
"Pythianism."
The lodge committees We're assisted
by the Uniform Rank members, who
acted as a Reception Committee and
ushers. Their handsome fatigue uni
forms were a feature of the evening.
. After the literary exercises the
floor was cleared and dancing was COM
menced The hall was overcrowded, yet
everybody seemed to be happy. Then
came the banquet, or, more properly, a
social family lunch. All in all, the en-
tertainment was one of the most en-
joyable of the season.

THEY FIRED ELEVEN SHOTS
And Still Not a Chinaman Bit the
Dust.
A Lively Fusiliade Over in China
town Early Last
Evening.

About 1:30 last evening there was
such fusillade of pistol shots in China
town as to cause people to hope that the
highbinders had got at it again and
that there would be a considerable
cleaning OUT of that species of pest.
Eleven shots in all were fired In rapid
succession, but the only damage done,
so far as could be learned, was the per-
foration Of sign over the door of
Chinese drug store at Third and 1
streets.
The shooting occurred on the sidewalk
on the south side of I street, between
Second and Third, and though Police
Captain Ash was on the spot in less than
a minute afterward no one could be
found who would admit that he knew
who fired the shots or why they We're
fired at all
Matt McManus happened to be on the
corner of Second and I, and he saw
one of the shooters srun across the lat
ter street and disappear in the door of
the headquarters of one of the '@tongs"
Matt. said he could have stopped the
fellow easily enough, but he hadn't lost
any Cinnamon and didn't care 10 take
any chances of having the highbinder
Timber up and turn his artillery on him
1t was subsequently learned that one
Of the shooters is named All Gett One
story is that the shooting was the result
OF some evidence he gave in a Chinese
case in the Police Court several months
ago, and another is that one of the
men owed the other some money which
he had refused to pay and that his cred
itor sought to take revenge on him at
the muzzle of pistol
The shooting must have been very
wild. though one or both of the parties
concerned may have been wounded for
all that the public know Whenever a
Chinaman was asked what the shoot
ing was about almost invariably the
answer was mo sabe." OF course
there is the usual talk of a pending high
binder war, but the probability is that
last nights shooting was a personal
affair.

daylight had departed sufficient to make
the plan of surprise feasible the people
might have been seen singly and In
groups winding their way to the car,
where two faithful sentinels kept watch
at either end to see that no one entered
before the appointed time. faithful
friend within was charged with the re-
sponsdbility of seeing that Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacques did not go to the door, and
with such provisions for secresy a COM
plete surprise was secured.
A hundred people, unannounced, each
with a gift, passed through the door
laughing, talking and rejoicing. Inc
garlics and onions of Egypt were no
where compared with the stores that
were borne in the hands of the visitors.
There were bread and cakes, meal ana
potatoes, coffee and tea and canned
fruits, all mixed up with more happy
hearts and shining faces than were ever
seen in Washington before. All dlffer-
ences were forgotten, If any had eX-
listed, and all creeds and nationalltles
were united in the happy greetings OIL
the hour.
After the friends had taken their seats
in the car, and just as the services OF
the evening were about to commence,
Mrs. Mixer and Mrs. Richardson, In De-
half of the committee and citizens OF
Washington, presented Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacques with purse of Sl4. The COM
mittee said they could work and give
but they could not talk, but their deeds
We're more eloquent than any words.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacques were deeply af-
fected by the manifestations OF the
love of the people for whom they hao
been so earnestly working, and their ap-
probation found expression in most
genial and long response, acknoWledg-
ing not only the kindness of the people,
but the goodness of God, from Whom
cometh every good and perfect gift.

Lincoln Could BE Stern.

During the war many pathetic scenes
We're witnessed in the White House.
One day a woman came TO Lincoln and
asked for a pardon for her son. He
had been court-martialed for carrying
percussion caps, camphor and such ar
ticles across the Potomac to the rebels,
and sentenced to be shot. Among 9TH
er papers presented by his mother was
a letter. The president commenced
reading it aloud. A gentleman seated
by my side said to me that was his
usual method; he would read a paper
in such cases aloud. He read the first
page, and then turned to the signature,
and said, "Why, this is from Mr.. -"
naming a prominent citizen of Mary
land. Yes" was the response. A
man standing by said, THAT can't be
so, for he is dead" Mr.. Lincoln laid
the letter on his knee, and with a very
slight flash of humor on his face said,
We'll, suppose he is dead; wouldn't a
letter from a dead man be worth more
than n from a living one?" After
listening very patiently to the plea
of the mother and some friends, who
had evidently brought her along to
help them, he said to her: Now, mad.
am, l do not think you are treating me
fairly. Your son has been tried by a
sworn court, and convicted upon the
testimony of sworn witnesses of Civ.
ing aid and comfort to the rebels by
furnishing them with percussion caps
and other things, which they must
have and can't make, and has beer
found guilty; and now you ask me tc
set that verdict aside without any evi.
dence at all, but just as a matter o
humanity and kindness to you. l dc
not think that fair, and while l would
like to crafty You l suspect if l should
do SO it would not be two weeks before
he would be doing the same thing
again, and l am, not at all sure but
that is just what You would like tc
have him do"
