tnuous since yesterday at the Yildiziosk
1t is reported that Edhem Pasha has
asked for 10000 reinforcements and that
orders have been sent to Salonica to
hasten the dispatch of the reserves to the

The steady resistance offered by the
Greeks was wholly unexpected and the

Expensive Distilling.

Adolph Becker has come in con-
tact with the law machinery of Ha-
waii in very unpleasant manner
for him.
Mr.. Becker is fond OF experiment
ing in diversified industries, and he
has an idea that vinegar making will
be one Of the leading industries Of
the country-after annexation.
he bought distilling plant, rent
ed house near Kakaako, and set to
work experimenting. The results
were that he produced very refined
"okolehao" and superior grade of
"swipes," which, according to his
testimony, he eventually intended
to turn into vinegar.
Officer Henry Vida, who had no.
ticed that people in the vicinity Of
the Becker vinegar factory we're get
ting frequently "boozed%~secured a
search warrant, and in spite Of the
remonstrances OF the scientific pro-
prietor landed him and the whole
outfit in Jail.
Judge Wilcox listened patiently
to an essay Of the experimental gen
tleman, in which he offered to turn
okolehao into vinegar
The Judge, who otherwise is an
excellent Christian, refused to put
faith in modern miracles, and took
the part of the doubling Thomas in
claiming that, as a rule, okolehao is
not the material evolution of water
into vinegar.
Bscl'sr was fined 500 and sent to
prison for three months. The SEN
tence is the lowest provided by the
statutes. The defendant, who was
not represented by counsel, will
probably take an appeal to the Cir.
cult Court.

Shot by an officer.

Jack Gavin, a water-tender on
board the Australia, was shot twice
last evening by Detective Tai Poon,
while attempting to carry bag con-
tanning opium into poi shop near
the Chinese Theatre.
The detective claims that the
wounded man tried to draw a pistol,
and that he fred in self-defense.
One bullet went through the
wrist of Gavin and the other entered
the leg below the knee, shattering
the bone and passing through the
foot,
The wounded man was taken to
the Hospital After a consultation
between Drs. Wood, Cooper and
Soule it was decided that an ampu-
tation was not necessary at present,
and the doctors hope to save the
limb Of the injured man.
There were "a tins Of opium found
in the possession of Gavin and a
five. ch ambered revolver with all
chambers loaded.

opinion that the Stars editor has
been unfortunate in being set to

that they can affirm that each and
every one of them has earned and
paid money for his own support and
that of his family; that they have
never, because Of bad habits, called
upon friend to meet their butcher,
baker, grocer, milkman, haber-dash-
er, wine merchant, or any other
tradesman, 10 effect a composition
of fifty cents op a dollar for claims
for family supplies, out Of fund
for which hat was passed; that
they have never turned on friends
and countrymen; that they have
reason to believe that each OF them
retains the respect of friends and
associates; that they each of them
have sense enough to know that
people who live in glass houses
should not throw stones.
