and rushed the ceremony through.

the police as she tried to enter the re-

Dec. 16, 1874. Tho plaintiff alleges that on
April %, 1892, his wife left him, after selling

and that she has since refused TO return to him.
He therefore seeks a divorce on the ground of

TORI was very laxative on the witness stand,
and insisted on arguing with the lawyers and
the cc.Chancellor. 1t was found impossible
to restrain him. Every time his lawyer raised

and proceeded TO argue the point himself.

The baking powder that

York Law School, conducted on the methods OF
Prof. Dwight, which had been turned down In
ow' college. continued to grow and to prosper.
1t became a financially paying school. In the

oppression instigated Ivy Seth Low and its rivals
became unbearable to the New York Law School
at last, and, as stated before, the school
was forced 10 apply to the Legislature
for relief. Hero Seth Low and his as
sistants made their final stand in the
fight. Under his instigation. q circular
was sent out to all the instructors In the State
attacking the New York Law Schools applica-
ton for q charter, falsely a sorting that 1t was a
plan to lower the standard Of education. and
calling on tho people throughout the State to DO
present at Albany and oppose the bill. The cir
cular further asked those who could not DO
present to send protests by mall or telegraph TO
be used Mt the bearing before the Assembly Ju-
dietary Committee. This circular was sent out
by Melvil Dewey. who was for years connected
with Columbia University. and whose official
place as Secretary OF the state Board of Re-
gents gave him q power over the In
s~tructors OF the state. This circular, which
WAS instigated by Mr.. Low for tho pur-
pose OF killing his rival, was of tho most intim.
idating nature, and 1t inundated many in
structors throughout the State. They wrote
protests. although thoy knew absolutely moth
ing about the New York Law School and never
had known anything about 1t. Some Of these
protests came from country school teachers,
who were not inteE ested in any way and could
not be interested in any way; who were utterly
ignorant Of the points at issue. rs was shown by
the wording Of their protests. Ono man as
serted that the Now York Law School issued
bogus diplomas.
or course, 1t is nero history now that Seth
Low and his fellow rivals against the New York
Law School were beaten. Protests secured by
intimidation instigated by Low were, of course,
turned down. Ono OF Seth Lows warmest ad
~vocates, who opposed tho measure. could not
stomach the methods that wore adopted TO fight
1t. This man was tho Hon. Frederick A. Rob-
bins. In speaking on the bill. Mr.. Robbins said
"For some reason or other. other law schools,
which have q very obvious interest in killing
this bill, seemed to be very active and very
much interested against 1t. Tho motives, how
over. of those rival professors and teachers were
too transparent to gain the favorable considera.
ton OF tho committee"

Why has Chun Poon, the man who
shot Jack Gavin not been arrested
or at least suspended from his posi-
tion of a gun-carrying detective7
We do not desire to reflect unpleas-
antly on the actions OF the Attorney
General and the authorities gener-
ally. But it does look somewhat
peculiar that no steps are taken
against the man who shot poor
Jack Gavin, while an extra term OF
the Circuit Court is called on Kauai
for the special purpose Of trying the
murderer of DR.. Smith, the brother
OF the Attorney General. The peo-
pie entertain the greatest sympathy
for the unfortunate physician, who
was murdered at Koloa, and all
hope that the perpetrators of the
foul deed will be punished to the
utmost extent Of the law. Jack
Gavin has also friends, whose SYM
pathies 20 out to the wounded man,
and they desire thorough investi-
cation into the shooting, which may
cripple their comrade for life,
There are ugly rumors around, and
the police authorities ought to take
notice Of them. Even His Excel
lency the American Minister might
find occasion for doing something
useful for once in protecting and
helping an unfortunate citizen Of
the United States. Let it be fully
known whether the shooting of
Jack Gavin was not a premeditated
affair, concocted between a China
man, who owed him a large sum Of
money, and professional high
binder hired to "do away" with the
unpleasant creditor. The Attorney
General cannot afford to close his
pretty eyes to the abominable antics
OF those OF his employees, who use
their pistols, police badges and
brief authority to further their pri-
vate disreputable ends
