THIS BOY WANTED A NICKEL.

please. Mister. can you give me nickel for
1--WE pennies"
The inquiry came from Il spruce. weil-dressed
little schoolboy. who with n companion was walk
ing I'D Slxteenth-st. toward Broadway yesterday
morning The boys about years old.
They carried their schoobooks. and were evidently
the children Of well-to-do parents
Surprised at the request and wondering why
nickel should be OF value to any one than
five separate pennies. especially to schoolboy,
the person addressed stopped and asked why the
coin was required. The answer was surprising
We want TO go uptown on the Broadway car"
said boy. and have only one nickel and
these pennies
"Well, are not the pennies good enough?' was
asked.
NO They, won't take them on the cars" was
the reply. I'VE gave the conductor pennies yester-
day. and he said thai ne had a good mind TO make
but II ne ever caught us trying to give him cop
And, perhaps. we might have the same conductor
to-day"
This seemed a remarkable assertion. and TO test
the boy the person gave nickel 10 the boy and
walked away. The boy after him with the
pennies and put them In mis- hand. Evidently this
was no. a clever little scheme 10 obtain five cents
for candy or cigarettes.

George Il. Oun1 PardOned.

fenced to four years in State prison for
assault with attempt to kill, was par
doned Saturday by Governor Powers.
John y. Peters, jr., was counsel for
Young at the hearing before he governor
and council. E. II. Greedy appeared as a
witness in Ioung's behalf.
The crime for which Young was sem
fenced WAS committed in August, 1893 at
the farm Of his brother, Charles c.
Young, in Trenton, when in a drunken
frenzy, it was alleged he attempted to kill
his brothers wife with a pitchfork. His
brother telephoned to Ellsworth for an
officer.
Young was arrested and arragned in
the municipal court. Judge Dutton SEN
fenced him to thirty days in the county
Jail. Young appealed, but when arraigned
in the supreme court in October, 1893, he
retracted his plea of not guilty, and
entered ples OF guilty. He was continued
for sentence on his own recognizance
until the April term, 1884 and then sem
tence was suspended on condition that he
leave the city for certain period. Young
returned before this time had expired,
and was arrested on capias. He was
sentenced by Judge Emery at the October
term, 1894, to four years in State prison.

LETTER FRnM MIR. YOUNG,


Editor Stare Being one of the many
who wish to contribute to the fund
for a memorial hospital, kindly allow
me space in your columns to correct
what seems to be Il mistaken impress
sion in the minds of many of our
citizens.
1t is wished by the British residents
in Honolulu to celebrate the Diamond
Jubilee of Queen Victoria by erecting
and endowing, so far as may be pos
sible, a cottage hospital for incurables
resident in these islands, where such
unfortunates could be placed and kept
by the various charitable institutions
or by individuals interested in the well
fare of the patients; such cottage hos
pital to contain from six to ten beds
and quarters for nurses, etc.
The. objects of the proposed insti-
renee in our community of consump-
tives and others similarly afflicted,
who can not be received at the Queens
Hospital dying and uncared for, as has
too often been the case in this city.
2. BY thorough sanitation in and
around such institution, to minimize
the danger to the health of the com
munity from contact with the unfor-
tunate sufferers. In connection with
the above the presence of consump.
tives, during the last stages of the
disease, in boarding and lodging
houses, is undesirable, nor is the wash
ing of their linen together with that
of healthy families and individuals, as
washing is done here in cold water, a
desirable thing.
The idea of erecting equipping and
maintaining large hospital, where
consumptives from all parts of the
world are to be sent, is no part of the
proposed plan.
AS it is the intention to extend the
benefits of the proposed institution tc
all nationalities, let donors of every
nationality feel assured that his OF
her onation, be it large or small, vii
be thankfully received and made par
of the fund set aside for the common
Grafton of the Goth anniversary of tn,
glorious reign of good and virtuou'
Queen. ALEX.YOUNG.

Exnartments With Nlelenite.

In experimenting with the new explo-
sive, melenite some most interesting facts
were brought to light. Three wells were
sunk on the slope of three hills. There was
an interval of 100 yards between two of
them and slightly more between the second
and third. The wells were square in form
and 26 feet deep. AT the bottom there was
u chamber arranged to bold 80 cases of the
explosive, each case containing l 10 pounds;
$500 pounds of powder We're put into one
of the chambers, and 2, 100 pounds of mel
enite were placed in the other. The pow
der was ignitcd by an electric current. A
terrific roar and rumbling, then q great
column Of smoke covered the place. When
this had cleared away, it was discovered
that the entire face Of the locality had been
changed in appearance. Enormous masses
of rock were thrown to the bottom and OPP
posite side Of the ravine; in some cases
pieces us large as 30 cubic feet were flung
out like marbles. The road was obscured,
vegetation had entirely vanished, and the
surface OF the ground was covered with
rocks and earth
An hour afterward the melenite was ex
ploded. The noise was louder than the
charge of powder, and the earth was serl
ously shaken at 500 yards distant from the
pace WlcIc Iilc tAplOSioI OCcurretl. ne
popularity of this explosive was that in
stead of large masses the rock was reduced
almost to fragments. 1t was difficult to
find II piece larger than mans fist, SO
completely was it disintcgrated, and the
earth was opened for some distance. A not
able feature of the explosive was that in
wide assures, where the rocks remained
apparently intact, they were so loosened
and crushed by the explosion that the
slightest touch precipitated them down
the ravine, where they crumbled into little
pieces. This experiment has attracted q
great deal of attention, especially from the
fact of the power of the melenite to crush
rocks into such small bits, popularity
hitherto unknown in experimenting with
explosives. New York Ledger.

HUMORIST LINCOLN.
His Entertainment Made Decided
Success.

The entertainment given by Frant
Lincoln, the story teller and humor,st,
at the opera house Saturday evening
was a surprise and delight to those
who were present Evdentk the usual
crowd of theater goers had moderated
Mr.. Lincoln's powers as an entertain
err, for the house was the lightest one
of the season. But the few who dill
go, to have jolly laugh, were not
disappointed. Mr.. Lincoln is certain
ly a very funny man, and one of APP
parently endless versatility. He knows
how to make the public laugh and how
to keep them in the best humor while
he is before them. -.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Lincoln has few, if
any, peers as a mimic. His ability to
depict almost any character, male or
female, both in action, speech and GEES
ture, without the aid of grease paint,
costumes and scenery, is simply won
derful. He is possessed of fine
voice, too, of which one just hears
enough in his sketches to make him
anxious to hear more. While he pre-.
tends to know nothing whatever OF
written music, Mr.. Lincoln showed
himself to be an adept at the piano
producing all sorts of wierd accom-.
paniments for his sketches.
Mr.. Lincoln varies his entertain.
ment with comic songs in various Ian
guages, character sketches, stories
and a hundred other side splitting
humors. Clad in evening dress he ap
pears alone before his audience, and
gives his entertainment without any
assistance whatever. 1t took him less
than five minutes on Saturday night t.
capture his audience, and the contin
uous round of laughter and applause
that warmed the house, told better
than words that they were willing
prisoners.
Mr.. Lincoln will give an entirely
new bill on Tuesday evening. II,
ought to have crowded house.
