SPRECKELS' LIBEL SUIT.
The Way the Examiner Handles the
Million-Dollar Case.

The Examiner is quite facetious oyer
the libel suit brought by Claus Spreck-

needs money and then says:
"The Examiner finds its hands fun
Just now. There is need of all of its

Mr.. johnson and Mr.. Spreckels do not

This promise is held out so ~ re

PETITION TO RETAIN DEPUTY IN
SPECToR SCOTT.
Ninety Per Cent of the Honolulu
Teachers in Favor of Reinstatement.
Petition to Be Presented

The teachers employed in the Gov
ernment schools do not intend to al
low Deputy Inspector General of
Schools, John F. Scott, to retire from
his present position without making
an effort in his behalf.
A petition has been gotten up and
will be circulated among the teachers
on Monday, asking the Board of Edu-
cation to reinstate Mr.. Scott. 1t is be-
lieved that fully 90 per cent of the
teachers in Honolulu and adjoining
villages will willingly sign the petit
ton. There will be no time for sim
liar petition to be circulated among
the teachers on the other islands, as
it is the wish of Mr.. Scott's friends
to bring the matter before the Boar1
of Education at its regular meeting
on Thursday afternoon of next week.
When Mr.. Scott submitted his resig-
nation to the department some of his
most intimate friends in the schools
were greatly surprised. 1t was their
immediate intention to petition the
Board not to accept the resignation,
but now since the Board has taken
action on the matter, they will request
that he be reinstated, insisting that
it will be for the best interests of the
school department
Said well-known teacher this
morning: "Mr. Scott has been identi-
fed with the educational work in
these islands for almost nine years,
and ther are some of us who have
known him during all of that time.
He has been a conscientious worker
from the time that he was teacher in
small Government school at Kapaa
on Kauai until now. He is exceeding
ly we'll informed of the workings y
the Government schools here and has
always been untiring in his eff 'rts
to better their conditions. One thing
is well known of him, he has always
been a true friend of the teachers"

ROYAL YACHT COMING.
King of Siam VIII Voyage Over the
Pacific.

Unless there is a change in the pres
ent plans, Lighthouse Charlie" will
sight the King of Slams cruiser yacht
heading for the Honolulu port on
some one of these days later in the
summer.
The monarch of that distant empire
has already embarked in his 2400-ton
steam yacht Maha-ChaRrlkri, and is
now on his way to Europe. On his re-
turn he will land at New York and
send her around the Horn to San
Francisco, and from their sail to Hon
olulu on his homeward voyage.
Arrangements will be made 10 give
Slams sovereign a royal reception
during his stay in Honolulu. which
will be for two or three days at least
The Kings yacht was laid down al
Leith in 1891, she was launched il
1892, and as soon as her trials were
completed she sailed from the Firtl
of Forth on October II, 1892, direct fol
Bangkok.
The Maha-Chakrkri represents to
yachtsmen a new and interesting yes
sci approaching the cruiser type ant
yet essentially different from the i'm
perial yachts STANDARD and Hohen

THE MARINES DISRESPECT IS
COSTLY.
Attorney Macdonald Will Appeal to
the President Direct on Behalf of
His Client.

Oscar J. Jensen, the Philadelphia
marine, who was found guilty of dis
respect toward Lieutenant Brown, was
sentenced by the Naval Court to one
years imprisonment. Admiral Boards
lee, after reviewing the testimony
this morning, approved of the findings
of the court. but cut the sentence
down to six months. Attorney Mac
donald will appeal to the Secretary of
the navy, and, if he fails there, to the
President direct.
The sentence imposed upon Jensen
is considered by the marines to be un-
usually severe. The marines had just
returned to the boat landing after
four hours drill, and while standing
at ease Jensen attempted to drink a
bottle of soda water from a stand
within his reach. Lieutenant Brown
caught him in the act, seized him by
the collar, and knocked the bottle
from his hand with his sword hilt.
The blow cut Jensen's hand, and he
said to Brown: "It's good thing you
have that uniform on" for which he
has to spend six months in Jail.

REV. GULICK DRAWS VALUABLE
LESSONS FROM IT.
A Mastery Sketch of Past Events
Treated at the Central Union
Church-Some "reminiscences

The retiring President of the Ha-
waiian Children's Mission Society,
Rev. o. H. Gulick, gave his address be-
fore large audience in the Ceniral
Union Church parlors last evening,
taking for his subject Lessons from
Hawaiian History"
Mr.. Gulick in opening his address
said: ''In the year 1920. the May
flower set sail from Holland and from
England, carrying westward across
the Atlantic the first one hundred of
those who were the most influential
in giving to America its religion, its
laws, and its liberties.
"Just two hundred years later, in
1920, with cargo no less, with a
prospect of danger as threatening.
and after a voyage of nearly three
times as long, and covering a distance
by sea five times as great, the first
company of missionaries to these
islands landed at Kailua and Homo
lulu. The brig Thaddeus will rank in
Hawaiian history with the Mayfower
in New England history.
"These missionaries fully expected
to encounter long and dangerous op-
position from the priests of paoar.
ism. Their hearts might have sank
within them the moment they saw
the scantily clad islanders boarding
the Thaddeus had it not been for the
cheering word that these islanders
brought, "The tabus are broken, the
idols overthrown and the priesthood
abolished" The old religion had
been abandoned not from any desire
for new one, or for any knowledge
of the benefits of Christianity. The
King o-Kamehameha, the Sec
ond, though kindly disposed, was not
eager to receive the missionaries or to
meet the restraints that the new re-
ligion might impose. After a weeks
delay he gave consent that the mis-.
sionaries might remain one year. But
for the friendly advice of John Young
even this might not have been
granted.
"The first person on the islands
through the teaching of the mission.
aries to receive baptism was Keo
pulani, daughter of line of Kings
widow of Kamehameha, the First, and
mother of Kamehameha, the Second
and Kamehameha, the Third"
Mr.. Gulick told of the good infu
ences of the converted chiefess, Kaa
humanu, and the overthrow of he,
government by Boki, a high chief o.
Oahu. His address throughout was
brief, but full of interesting history
of the islands. In closing Mr.. Gulicl
said:
"We will not look downward. bu
upward and onward, to the day wheI
our loved country shall be able t.
lead forth her sons and her daughter
and say, These are my jewels"
Treasurer L. A. Dickey's repor
showed a good balance after havin!
spent $4,000 during the past year.

STRANGERS WHO HAVE AN ODD
IDEA OF SOCIAL CUSTOMS.
A Little Social Pushing Which Ended
in an Attorneys Office and a Gentle
Caution From the Marshal

Two strangers now residing in Hon.
olulu have not been accorded very
cordial reception by the smart set Of
this city When they first came here,
a few weeks ago, it was announced in
the public prints that they were look
ing for quiet corner of the earth
where they could enjoy their fortunes
at ease, and had decided to remain
some time in Honolulu. But their ex-
cellent intentions seem not to have
been appreciated, for the mammas of
some interesting society girls resented
a rather bold attempt on the part of
the alleged noblemen to gain an in
PRODUCTION, and when an attorney was
engaged to handle the matter, he had
to actually throw the the men out of
his Office when they called to de
mand" an explanation of d rather
sharp note. Matters even went so far
that Marshal Brown was obliged TO
drop the men a line.
The strangers to these genial shores
first sought admission to the Pacific
Club, but were not given much en-
couragement, as it appears that they
were without letters, and other Gre
dentials. About fortnight ago, they
commenced to pay attention on the
street to some very estimable young
ladies, who, not having met the men,
were seriously annoyed by Lncir at
tentions. Then the mother of the
aforesaid young ladies received
three-page note, couched in the most
courteous terms, in which the writer
said that as he and his friends intend
ed to remain in the city for sometime,
they desired to gain entrance into
some of the best families. The note
was surprise, as the writer was
perfect stranger, and his action en-
tirely unconventional.
/ Alarmed at the tu1n affairs had TAX
en-, the mother sought the advice of an
attorney, who at once wrote a rather
sharp note, saying that the advances
had not been appreciated, and that
no more such notes must be written.
The next day the attorney received a
call from the pair. who thrust the let
ter in his face, and demanded an ex-
planation.
"Gentlemen," the attorney replied,
"The note is explicit, and needs no ex-
plauation. 1t means just what it
says"
When the demand for an eXplana-
tion was repeated, with some heat,
the attorney grew angry in turn. and
ordered the men out of his office.
When they ignored him, although
they were much larger and heavier
men than the attorney, he took hold
of both by the shoulders, and pushed
street.
On the following day they passed
the onice and handed note for the
attorney to the Chinese clerk, who car
ried it into the lawyer. He directed
the clerk to follow the men and hand
them the note. unopened, which he
did. They took it and passed on.
The matter was laid before Marshal
Brown, who, after the circumstances
had been detailed, wrote a very sharp
note explaining the social methods OF
Honolulu. Since then there has been
no more heard of getting into So
ciety.'

great many points which should
furnish food for thought among all
successful undergraduates.
Miss Bray spoke upon truthfulness,
the pervading atmosphere of the kim
dergarten. She made an appeal to the
people who have beautiful lawns tc
open them and invite the children in
that they might enjoy themselves, too
No greater enjoyment could be afford

GROCER WANTS TO KNOW.
A Little Kick Over Board of Health
Tenders.

Editor Star: The honorable Board
of Health is calling for tenders for
supplies for its departments for six
months, ending December 81, 1897. 1t
wants the lowest price on a number
of articles of groceries, viz: one-half
bbl pork per month, box How Chong
tea per month, etc. Now, is it not
"funny" to call for tenders for such
trifes when none are asked for the
worth of dry goods, hats, shoes, etc?
Will the money saved on these petty
items pay for the advertising? Let
the Board call for tenders for all sup.
plies, or none. Yours,
