California Murderer Must Suffer the
Death Penalty.

The United States Supreme Court has
affirmed the decision of the Circuit Court
for the California district, refusing a
writ Of habeas corpus to William Henry
Theodore Durrant, under sentence of
death for the murder of Miss Blanche
Lamont in San Francisco in April, 1895.
The case has attracted attention
throughout the whole of the United
States and this decision permits the law
to take its course with the condemned
man. Chief Justice Fuller announced the
courts conclusion, but made no remarks
in doing so. save to cite a few authorities
on which the court based its decision.

DEFECTIVE EYES.

At New Bedford the Board of Edu-
cation, so says an exchange, has been
giving attention to the eyesight of it's
children; indeed, it has been looking.
up its defective children with view
to remedying defects. \ report made
by the teachers of the New Bedford
schools, to the Board, showed that out
of close on to 5000 children there were
per cent defective in eyesight, 2 per
cent in hearing; otherwise physically
defective, 10 per cent, and mentally
defective, 3 per cent.
An examination made by the teach
ers on these lines cannot be accurate,
because few of them are sufficiently
trained to judge properly of these de-
fects, and one can feel assured that
only the most glazing casese were put
down in the New Bedford list.

Aluminium would be far more in
use were it not for the high cost of
the material, as compared with other
useful metals. But the price of the
metal will soon fall The production
is about to be increased materially.
Last year the output was 14.74o
pounds daily; this year the plants
nave been increased and the daily out
put will reach 42,460 pounds. and the
price will come down to 81 cents per
pound, thus leaving only three metals
cheaper viz: iron, lead and zinc. MANY
articles now made of tin will be made
OF aluminium. and they will be found
lighter and more durable. With
cheapness, aluminium will become
one of the most important of metals
for domestic purposes.

What strikes one az once Is the
large percentage of those with dcfcc-
tive cyesight. The question of the
cyesight Of chitdren is one which
should exercise not only Boards Of
Education. but il should he consider
ed by Boards of Health as wen. There
can Ice little doubt that the eycsight
of the race is detcriorating. For this
there are many causes. There is the
defective light in the school rooms;
there is, at times, too much light
improper position for receiving light;
there is bad print and worse writing:
there is the forcing of child to use
printed matter after the eve has be-
come weary. In point of fact, there
are more causes for defective eye
sight than one can count on the fng-
ers of both hands.
We have no statistics upon the eve
sight of the school children in this
country, but one has only to count
the number of children who have to
wear spectacles to see how many are
afflicted. A casual observer must be
struck with the fact.
Now, no general defect of this kind
can exist without there being a rem
edy, and it is the duty of those in au-
thority to seek a remedy. The New
There is the improper position
position for receiving light; there
is bad print and worse writing:
Bedford BoarG realized that many of
It's defective children were under
proper treatment; but it also realized
that a very large number of them
were not. 1t has set to work to meet
its difficulties. This is what the Ha-
waiian Board should devote its atten-
ton to. "Isms" and "ologies" are all
very well, but the physical develop
ment of race is more important, and
if a line is pointed out whereby that
physical development can be improv-
ed, it should be followed. A few sta
tistics upon these points should be
acquired by the Board of Education.

ON MEETING THE FOE.

There are several ways of fighting
your enemy--or getting the better of
him, and there are several ways in
which he will regard you according
to your behaviour to him If you are
wealthy enough, you can buy him. If
you do that he will always be coming
for more, like Oliver Twist; or, better
smile, perhaps, like the daughters of
the horse leech, who were always cry
ing, Give; give" To supply him you
will require the purse of Fortunatus.
the horse leech" was? He must
have been extremely Unsuitable him
self, and have transmitted his I'M
pleasant qualities to his progeny. But
was he a he? Might not the horse
leech' be feminine? Solomon has left
the subject indefinite, though he has
for ever marked the quality, and for
rapacity there is no better simile. 1t
is not wise to buy your enemy. Be
sides, some enemies are too big to
buy.
Another method of dealing with
your foe it to cringe to him. He will
then promptly kick you as one is apt
to kick spiritless dog that turns over
on its back and has no fight in it. But
he will, perhaps, throw you small
bone. Such a method is not digni-
fed one-but it has been known to
gain it's end.
Yet one more method is to put ones
head in the sand, like the ostrich, and
from that muffied position declare
that you can see no enemies and that
they never existed. Indeed, that you
never had anything but friends in this
world. Nay, more, if, lifting your
head from its sandy covering, you
catch a glimpse of the approaching
foe, with glittering knife in hand, you
should squawk out: "Oh, my great
and good friend, how glad I am to
see you! Approach nearer. Knives,
my dear sir, are pretty weapons: but
! only regard them from an aesthetic
standpoint. The cruel things, meant
to stick with, don't exist. How pleas
ed l am to see you!'
LASTLY, one can go boldly forward
and however big ones foe is, bravely
attack him. This latter method is the
manly one and commends itself to
those who believe in running cam
paign.
There is such a thing as being too
careful in dealing with those who are
opposed to you. When once it is dis
covered that any person or combina-
ton of persons are opposed to you,
it is better to strike right at them,
than with bated breath to say: "Yes,
/ know they are against me, but for
heavens sake don't say so. If other
people say so, for gracious sake don't
repeat it, they might be offended"
might be offended" 4 cause would
deserve to lose if carried on in such a
pusillanimous manner, and those who
give such advice are unworthy of
heading even a small skirmish, let
alone big fight. When you have the
foe before you, hit him, and hit him
hard. If you can't get your blow be-
tween the eyes, get it in somewhere
else even though your knuckles may
be little bruised in the process. If
your enemy beats you, he Will still re-
spect you.
The newspapers method of hitting
is to expose wrong or weakness
wherever it is to be seen, and this The
Star has done and will continue to do
fearlessly. A hole and corner policy
is not what it was established for.

There is possible chance for the
explorers round the rims of our era
tiers. An explorer in Natal assembled
an extinct crater. In the bowl of the
crater was lake, and soundings in
the lake discovered a layer of sand
containing small diamonds. Halea-
kala contains no lake, but there is
rock enough to break up to keep peo-
pie busy for few years. One is
rather afraid, however, that it would
be wild goose chase. But, if there
were diamonds. what rush there
would be.
