Deserters From Hanamaulu.

BY a steamer from Kauai Wednes-
day there arrived in town two de-
serters from Hanamaulu plantation,
who having communicated with GER

city, made up their minds, that they
could easily escape detection by the
police and live happy life in the city

WHO WOULD 1NTERFEREP

There are, probably, few persons in
the country familiar with the circum-
stances of the murder of Pearl Bryan,
who would have stayed the hand of the
executioner. of her slayers, had it been
On their power to do so.
A large proportion of the people is
opposed to capital punishment for var
ious reasons, chief among which are
that they regard it as barbarous, wrong,
un-Christian and ineffective as a pre-
ventive of crime. But it is improbable
that cases have not come within the
knowledge of most of these wherein the
violation of the law, human and divine
has been so fragrant, outrageous, even
demoniacal that nothing short of the
infliction of the death penalty would
satisfy that inherent love of justice
which permeates the souls of right
thinking people.
There come times when almost all
theories must give place to the ext
gencies of the occasion. There seems
ever in the public mind a disposition to
make the punishment fit the crime,
when the crime possesses unusual and
particularly shocking features. If by
any process Jackson and Walling had
escaped the penalty awarded by the
courts of Kentucky, it is not unlikely
that deep down in the hearts of the OPP
pOnents of capital punishment there
would have been feeling that some
thing was lacking in the melting out of
fun and exact justice. Out of respect
for these theories they might have re
manned silent, as they will doubtless
refrain from adverse comment on the
termination of the affair as chronicled
last Saturday.
The theories of those opposed to the
fr,Hf 1f5 - IL
not be altered or disturbed by the exc
cution of these two young murderers;
neither will their efforts to procure the
abolition of the laws which make such
things possible be abated, but many of
them were doubtless secretly glad the
crime was committed in Kentucky in
stead of in Kansas or in some place
where the laws are different.
The force of the argument against
capital punishment has not suffered. 1t
is still as brutal, barbarous, un-Chris-
tian and ineffective as ever it was pre-
vious to last Saturday and those here
who so regard it will be glad that they
live in a state which does not permit it.
Perhaps when there shall be fewer
cases which seem to justify so extreme
a penalty, the laws for it's inf1iction will
disappear wholly from the statute books
of the world At present there exists a
human instinct which at times causes
the people to take matters into their
own hands and themselves, become the
executioners of criminals in disregard
OF all statutes. While humanity is so
constituted it can matter little as re-
CARDS the final outcome of such cases
as that of Jackson and Walling, what
the law is. If the sheriff had not hang
ed them, there can be little doubt that
the populace would have done so.

DEPARTMENT STORE WAR.
Bill Waging War on Big Chicago
Stores Will Become a Law.

Springfield, Ill, March 22.-Legisla-
ton in the lower house against the de-
partment stores is assured.
The plan is to substitute the business
mems bill for the bill of Representative
Schwab, which was favorably reported
upon by the committee on river i'm
prOvement and commerce.
Most of the friends of anti-department
store legislation are in favor of waiting
until the senate bill reaches them.
Should the senate fail to pass the
business mems bill, which has taken the
place of the Lundin BILL then the house
can replace the Schwab bill with the
business bill and proceed to push that.
Tuesday has been fixed for the passage
of the anti-department store bill, for
both the senators and delegates who
are championing it, say the bill will
pass.
A ladies' auxiliary, consisting of the
wives and the daughters of the MEM
bers, was formed to persuade the resi-
dents in the neighborhood to cease
trading at the big stores down town, and
to buy of the merchants in their vicin-
ity 1t was also decided that the MEM
berS assemble at their rooms and march
in a body to the mass meeting in the
North Side Turner hall of the Clark
Street Business Mems association to-
night. The next meeting of the south
side association will be held in two
weeks, when it is expected some prom
inent speakers will be present to ad-
dress the meeting.

SOME COLORADO BIRDS.
Prof Cooke Shows That There Are
$50 Kinds of Birds.

Denver, March 22.-Every kind of a
bird ever discovered in Colorado is de-
scribed, classified and named in an
enthnological report placed in the hands
OF the Smith Brooks Printing company
yesterday by Prof. W. w. Cooke
For more than four years Prof. Cooke
has been engaged in figuratively trap
ping and caging the birds which fur
nished the material for his treatise on
ethnology.
Between Pixies ravens and the stuffed
pel1cans range wide variety of birds,
common and rare. Prof. Cooke has
proven $50 varieties to be feathered
facts of Colorado's chronological king
dom. This announcement will cause
widely variant feelings to spring up in
the boSOmS of farmers and OrchardistS,
on one hand, and the members of the
Humane society on the other. Until
Prof. Cookies completed feat of yes
terday, the largest number of bird va
rieties charged up to Colorado was 264
Sparrows, probably, are the most
common birds in the state. The two
most rare varieties are the scissors
tailed fiy-catcher and the red ibis. Only
one of each species has ever been seen
in Colorado 1t will cause much re-
gret to the prOprietOrS of summer no
tells to learn that the only-SciSsors-ta tail
ed fy-catcher ever known to exist in
Colorado has long since gone the way
of the taXidermist shop. Besides be-
ing rare in other particulars, this little
feathered creature is a rare friend to
summer hotel keepers.
The one red ibis which honored Colo
RADIO with visit is also dead. This
is-or was very beautiful bird, with
a plumage almost entirely brilliant
red. In shape it looks some what like
sand-hill crane. 1t is a resident of the
tropical countries, and besides the one
seen in Colorado a member of it's spe-
cies has made visible appearance to
men only three times in the whole
United States territory, so ethnoIogists
say In 1876 the Colorado red ibis was
killed in Wet Mountain valley, twenty
miles west of Pueblo.

Converts,

Lead. S. D, March 22-The Salvation
Army has taken the Black Hills by
storm. Large corps in Lead, Deadwood
and Sturgis are now engaged in storm
ing the bulwarks of Satan.
A big rally, participated in by the
three corps, was held in this city, be-
ginning Friday of last week and end
ing Sunday night. officers and mem
bers from the three cities were in at
tendance to the number of 100. Major
Clifford of Minneapolis, chief divisional
northern Michigan, was in charge. He
made many friends for the army be
cause of his gentlemanly bearing and
ora torical ability. Three meetings were
held in the Lead Opera House, and
were attended by $500 people. An adj
mission fee of 10 cents was charged. A
banquet cleared 5000 for the army.
Thirty-four soldiers were sworn into
the Lead army Sunday afternoon.
Besides these soldiers, there were
about 30 recruits. Lead is the head
quarters for the Black Hills. Ensign
Berriman and two lieutenants are in
charge of the work The captain of the
Deadwood army, AL Jewel, was in at
tendance upon the rally, and was a fig
ure of much interest. He is the one
upon whom a murderous assault was
recently made by a DeadwoOd saloon
keeper while the army was holding a
street meeting. The captains life was
saved by his own skill He was form
erly a prize fighter and the saloon
keeper found that he had run up
against a circumstance before the Sal
vationist was through with him. The

HAPP1EsT AMERICAN CITY.
ILetter in London Mall


After the others, Philadelphia strikes
you as beyond all things a civilized
city-a city where people sometimes
have a little leisure. Elsewhere they
do business or seek pleasure; here they
live. The very names of the streets
Chestnut, Walnut, Vine, Spruce, Pine
have a fresh and wholesome breath
about them. 1t may be fancy, but the
women here seem prettier and the men
better set up. The New Yorker takes
a tram car to go a quarter of mile.
Here the physical type is more athletic
The typical American woman's face
long, thin, pale, pure-eyed, like an
early Italian Madonna-is richer and
less austere. Middle class, you may
call the place, with it's endless rows of
sober red brick, but middle class with
little of dowdiness and much of rational
stability. If there are few notable
buildings there are few slumS. If few
people are very prosperous, few are
very wretched. In sum, the Philadel-
phians get more happiness per head out
of their city than any other townsmen
in America.
Philadelphia, like London, has made
itself Spreading out from a CONNER
cial center, it has spread its way out
to the fringe of manufacturing towns
around it and woven them into piece
of itself, with streets on streets OF artl-
sans dwellings. The old business city
is on the tongue between the Delaware
and Schuylkill rivers. AS it extended
and made itself fast to districts beyond
the value of land in the center went up

TEXAS BIG BERRY CROP.
Strawberry Yield There Said to Be
the Largest on Record.

Chicago, March 22.-Advices from AL
vim, Texas, state that the strawberry
crop promises to be the largest ever
known in the history of Texas. Alvin
is in the heart of the Texas strawberry
country. The acreage of the state de-
voted to Strawberries is steadily increas-
ing, and the soil south of Houston is
especially fitted to strawberry culture.
The big movement of the berries will
begin this week, when car lots will be
ready to send. The berries already re-
ceived from Texas have not been es-
pecialIy choice, but fine cOnsignments
will appear next week.
Strawberries received yesterday from
Louisiana were common, with some
buttony and green, and few cases
moldy. Prices on such lots were irreg-
ular Some of the poorest sold as low
as 75c per 24-pint case. The fair to good
ranged from SIPS to $1.75 per case. A
refrigerator car of about 200 open cases
was received from Florida Some were
fancy, and a few cases mOldy, owing to
delays in transit Seventy-five refrig
orator cases also came from Florida
with the quality generally good The
Florida berries sold well, both locally
and on shipping account

THAT DREAD APPENDIX.
CFrom the Chicago TribuneO


There is a popular and false notion
that appendicitis is caused by a grape
seed, an orange seed, or some other for
eign substance getting into the vermi-
form appendix, Gays the New York
journal The true cause is the setting
up of inflammation and consequently
gangrene in the tissue of the appendix,
usually due to insufficient circulation
of the blood in the part itself. In thous-
ands of operations which have taken
place-many in time to save the life of
the patient and many too late there is
not one authenticated case of a for
eiSn substance, such as seed. being
found in the appendix. This will be
more fully realized when one has in
mind that the interior of the appendix
Is big enough to admit only a medium
sized darning needle. It's great liabiIi-
~ to disease is due entirely to its low
order of vital resistance. That is it
as an organ which appears to have no
actual use in the present machinery of
man, but in the earlier stages of mans
development it is believed to have been
a large pouch that played an impor-
tant part in the digestive operations of
the human system. By stages of disuse
1t has gradually shrunk to its present
dimensions, and is known to science as
a Vestrigal organ, one which is only a
remnant of its former self and possess
sing but a VeStige of its original func-
tons.
This becomes more clear if some 9th
er parts of the body which now seem to
nave no use are considered The ton
sis are in this class, and also the wis
dom teeth, and both are peculiarly sub
3ect to disease.
