TRIED FOR INEBRlETY.
A Hen with a Taste for Liquor
Arraigned in Court.
Unique Lawsuit Which Puzzled Jury
Of Twelve Sober Scotchmen-Yer-
diet Not Yet Known in
This Country.

The unique spectacle of jury of ~
men sitting in solemn conclaye to de-
termine whether or not a hen was
maudlin drunk from whisky or suffer-
ing from influenza, was recently pre-
scented by Scotch court at Oban, Scot
land.
The case was brought by one John
Turner against the Salem distillery.
Turner had a poultry farm near the
works of the defendant company, and
previous to its location in the neigh
borhood had made a comfortable liv-
ing from the produce of his fowls. Since
its establishment he claims to have
made little or nothing, owing to the in
satiable appetite which his birds have
developed for liquor, and he alleges
that they are continually in a state Of
maudlin intoxication.
Late hours and excessive dissipation
have resulted in their inability to lay
eggs, and also rendered them unstable
for food. Therefore he sued the dis
tillery company for C so damages. Abb
supd as it may seem, the case was gone
into seriously, and learned counsel ap-
peared for both sides of the litigation.
Turner on the stand swore that his hens
were more or less under the influence
of drink every day and night in the
weeks, except Sundays and days when
the distillery was not working. On
Monday their condition was pitiable to
an extreme. Deprived of their tipple
for the day preceding, they imbibed
must recklessly on the Monday follow
ing and staggered around the oarnyard
i'll a state of beastly intoxication, I'M
til their strength gave out and they
sank to the ground in a drunken stupor.
So insistent was their appetite for
liquor that they would eat no food irt
the morning unless they had first made
trip to the distillery and gotten an
"eye opener" During the day they
became quarrelsome and i'll natured,
and the plaintiff could clay" it on no
other reason than their conVivial hab-

FULL AS A LITTLE HED w AEON.
its He had tried all possible methods
of reformation, but none accomplished
anything.
On the cross-examination the impor-
tant fact was ELECTED that the ring
leader of the poultry roues was a hen
which the plaintiff had purchased some
time before at Fort William. She had
first found the whisky burn and had
initiated her companions into the de-
lights of intemperance. The Fort Will
liam hen was an exhibit in the case,
and was brought into the court room
confined in wicker basket. The farm
er explained that she was the soberest
one of the lot and the only one present
able in the court. Though the leader
of the flock, she could stand more than
the others, and therefore was seldom in
the insensible state.
One of the courts attaches produced
a tumbler of whisky and held it to the
fowls beak. She accepted the invita-
ton with alacrity, and proceeded to
get away with the entire contents.
The learned counsel for the distil-
lery contended that the plaintiff had
not shown that the hens were enticed
to the distillery grounds, but that they
went there of their own free will and
could go or not, as their inclination ran,
and that the company was not respon-
sible because the birds had not the
moral stamina to resist temptation.
To further strengthen his case, he
called experts, who swore that the
symptoms shown by the alleged in
febriates were the same as appear in
Influenza

READY FOR WAR.

The sentiment in favor of the Cuban
insurgents seems 10 be growing every
day. In Washington the cause of the
insurgents is warmly Cspoused. Yes
terday the Cameron resolution, which
the morning dispatches reported
would probably be introduced into the
Senate Monday, was the cause of
much comment. According to Secre-
tary of State Olney, this resolution
practically means war with Spain
There is no danger or probability that
war with Spain will in the least affect
the quality of Rainier Beer. No mat
ter what happens Rainier Beer will
always be the best. On tap or in bot

Anchored.

Anchored is what the man said
when he dropped into the Anchor
Saloon. Why? said his friend.
Because you can always get a
cool refreshing drink served by
gentlemanly attendants, and if
you happen to drop in during
lunch hour you will be RECALLED
with solids as well rs liquids. In
fact the lunch at the Anchor is
said by many to be the best in
town. The celebrated Seattle
beer is on tap. 1t is sparkling
and ice cold. The finest of wines
and liquors in town are to be had
at this popular resort.

Citizens Attention.

These are days of considerable
anxiety and perplexity to all who
have possessions or other interests
In the Republic of Hawaii, and it
is time that our citizens came to a
mutual understanding on several
important issues. The prospects
for Annexation appear at present
vague and indistinct, and our
destiny cannot be foretold with
certainty. There are those, also,
who still fondly cling to the hope
of return to the old order of
things, and who cannot be per-
suaded otherwise, yet this out
look appears far more hazy than
that of Annexation even to the
most hopeful disciples of the
Monarchy. But, fortunately, in
the midst of all this uncertainty
there is solace in the fact that
Buffalo Beer has came to stay and
that patrons of all sorts and
opinions may equally share the
benefits of its invigorating and
sustaining properties. We are
moreover assured that this favorite
brew will continue to be dispens-
ed as heretofore at the Royal,
Pacific and Cosmopolitan Sa-
lnpnc

Lamp novelties are new to
HOnoIuIu-new to the United
States until a smart French
man employed at the factory
conceived the idea of building
for oil what others had done
for candles.
Look at the illustrations in
the accounts Of swell dinners
and you will find beautifully
designed caDdelabra-a year
ago they Were for candles
now for lamps. You will find
the same thing in our Eva
window and no other shop has
them-no other dealer handles
them as we do, because our.
buying methods are modern.
Sos our selling methods. You
can get a banquet candelabra
lamp at our store for about
what you pay for a single burn
er in some places. That's the
difference i'll the methods.
You are interested in those
lamps even if you burn electro
city-the table can bedecorated
with flowers and lamps dish
es come under the head of
necessities"
Half the pleasure of night
wheeling is in having a good
lamp. Policemen are alert to
find a man taking dark ride
sometimes the light jolts out
and the rider finds himself
without a match. No such
trouble with the Banner bicy-
Gle lamp-it is made to burn
and stand hard knocks.

MUNICIPAL COURT.

The municipal court act of Sank
Centre has been repealed, the bill TAX
ing effect on February LIST, and the
city is thereby, for the time being,
thrown back upon the justice of the
peace system of administering justice,
which is perfectly adequate for all
purposes. The expences of the city
have been reduced by this repeal to
the amount of several hundred dollars
year. There is general municipal
court act applicable to cities of less
than 5000 people which provides for
payment of the judges by fees, instead
of fixed salary, so that it cannot be-
come burden to the taxpayers. It's
jurisdiction is the same as the late
court OF this city, and it is adapted to
our uses. The city council has the
authority to accept and adopt it's pro-
visions, and make it operative, which
will doubtless be done at an early
meeting.
The salary paid under the special
law just repealed was out of all pro-
portion to the amount of business in
the court. The past few years has
shown a remarkable decline in law
business, not only in Sank Centre, but
throughout the rural districts of the
Northwest.

AN ACCOUNTABLE CHARTER.

The city charter of Sank Centre is
as bad piece of special legislation
AS could well be devised. After it was
originally agreed upon for enactment,
it was altered and tinkered to meet the
views of this and that person, until it
was filled full of incongruities and
weak spots. 1t cannot be amended.
for it is a special law, and since it's
adoption the state constitution has
been SO amended as to prohibit special
legislation. All that can be done is
to repeal it altogether, and there is a
strong sentiment in favor of doing SO.
Why Sank Centre should have a
city charter at all is question diff
cult to answer. In proportions, inter-
ests and purposes it is only village,
and the less complex system of village
government is more applicable to it
than is a city charter.
Bnt, if there is desire to adhere
to the city system it would be far
better to adopt the general charter
which has been framed for the smaller
cities. 1t would relieve us from a
charter whose provisions are not and
cannot be carried out. While the leg
islature is in. session it would be we'll
to give the matter careful considera-
ton. A mass meeting should be called
and the matter taken under careful
consideration.
