Contempt of Court.

Mrs. Carrie T.. Dimond, whose
divorce suit has caused great notori-
ETY. here, was cited to appear before
the Circuit Court to respond to a
charge OF contempt of Court. 1t is
alleged that Mrs. Dimond is guilty
Of attempting to bride certain wo-
men to give evidence against her
husband, whom she charges with
violating his marriage vows. The
morning paper enormously states
that Miss Mollie Sheldon has been
cited by the Court in connection
with the contempt case. Mis- Shell
don, on the contrary, is one OF the
persons who is alleged to have been
approached by Mrs. Dimond, and an
Inference grossly unjust to her can
naturally he drawn by the false
report of the Advertiser. The con-
tempt case will be heard at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning before Circuit
Judge. Neumann, Thurston and
Stanley are the attorneys OF Mrs
Dimond.

The Modern Miracle

At the Hawaiian Opera House to-
morrow evening, Mr.. Frank r. Gilt
ton will present that modern mira
Gle, the "Verscope." From the re-
ports of the press it must indeed be
something marvellous. Even the
Grand Old Man w. E. Gladstone,
observant, critical aud cold-blooded
as he is, says, ut presents perfect
stimulation Of animate creation in
life" while the staid old London
Times calls it "a modern miracle"
and Grandmother Quarterly says,
sit makes a most ex raordinary
sigh" 1t is useless quoting the
dictionary full OF adjectives of praise,
let our people go and judge for
themselves.

THE CENSUS.
a rareful and Interesting Analysis
OF our Cosmopolitan Population.

a Careful and Interesting Analysis
OF our Cosmopolitan Population.
Thanks to the courtesy of Super
intendent Of Census, Mr.. Alatau T.
Atkinson, The INDEPENDENT is en-
abled tN present its readers with
compact and concise table showing
almost exactly how we stand in re-
gard to our cosmopolitan population.
1t must primarily be remembered
that in the comparison Of the ma
tionalitles, the Hawawaiian born
children are credited TO the nation
atty Of the parents, and not as here
tofore to the generic term OF "Ha-
waiian born"
From this basis many interesting
comparisons may be instituted. For
instance through their many chill
dren born here, although no serious
Portuguese immigration has taken
place for long time, and many
Portuguese have left the country,
their numbers increase instead of
diminish Again for the same reason
the Chinese and Japanese population
are within few figures Of each
other OF course these figures are
somewhat changed By the increased
arrivals Of Japanese since the census
was taken. The following is the
table referred to:

SUCCESSFUL BUYERS.
TFrom the january scribner


A good buyer who year after year in
creases his business and the reputation
of his department, who leaves for the
semi inventory clean, desir-
able stock-one who, in fact, has the
genius of money making-is paid a sal
airy in the big houses of from SIS, 600 to
$4,000, and often a percentage on the
yearly increase of his sales. In some
of the largest departments number
of the most capable buyers thus receive
as much as $4,000 a year, and are re-
garded as cheap at that-a fact which
can be readily understood when it is
remembered that in a single depart
men of a great shop selling, say a mil
lion dollars worth of goods a year,
difference of . per cent in the profits,
which may be the result of good man
ager as distinguished from a mediocre
one, amounts to $4,000. On the other
hand, in the lower class stores, buyers
in many of the departments are paid
is low as $25 a week, with no percent
age. If the large incomes are the
great exception, it is also to be said
that the opportunities are more numer-
Gus than the men with the ability to
take advantage of them.

IF'rom Point of View in Scribner's1
The other day, at a social function, I
came upon two friends, one of whom
had just returned from a luxurious voy-
age round the world in a millionaire's
steam yacht. Have you found any
body willing to sit down and hear you
tell about it?'' mischfevously asked the
other. NO" was the laughing answer;
Il have not even ventured to make the
attempt" And applauded this discre-
ton. For telling about il" is the
most dangerous indulgence possible to
one who would be loved as a compan-
ion 1t is the way that bores begin;
and a first yielding to the enticement
has often led to one of those fatal cases
of self-consideration which stamp the
afflicted speaker forever with brand.
He may have seen a ghost, or a muir
der-nay, even may have CHANGED to
meet an emperor in his shirt sleevesi
No matter; let him be silent upon these
subjects in which is own personality
must claim the lions share. The time
Will come, perhaps, in some autumn
twilight, at the end of long house
party, when the whole company may
gather about him and clamor eagerly
for his adventures. But until then he
should cling to the first precept of con-
versation, which commands him to
leave ample room for the display of wit
in others.
