Anglo-California People In Enter
Native-Born Hawaiians.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE organ
ization of the First National Bank Of
Hawaii, Honolulu, of which the Anglo
Californian Bank OF San Francisco is
a large stockholde have wired here TO
ascertain what further steps are neces-
sary to perfect the organization of the
bank. The inquiry is based on the sup
position that the terms of the annex
alton of the Islands having to await
the action of Congress the status of
the Government in Hawaii may be in
doubt. The question has been mooted
not through any fear as to an ultimate
favorable decision, but is rather
prompted by natural precautions TAX
en- by men engaging in vast business
enterprises. In the absence of Attor-
ney General Briggs il will be impCs-
sible TO secure a formal opinion until
next week. when he will return to
Washington. However, the Assistant
Attorney General and the Solicitor for
the Department OF Justice have both
passed informally upon the question
of government now in force in Hawaii
1t is held that territorial powers of the
United States are now extended over
the Islands, and that our Federal laws
are in full force and effect The Solic-
itor of the Department of Justice flz
ther holds that native-born Hawaiians
can be directors in the newly organ
lied bank.

The First American Duel.

In the year 1880 occurred the first
duel known to have taken place on
American soil. The principals, Ed
ward Doty and Edward Lester, were
servants Of Mr.. Hopkins, one of
the New England colonists. The
men had quarreled over some trifling
matter and resorted to the field for
its settlement. The affair was stop
ped by the authorities, but not be-
fore one had been wounded in the
thigh and the other in the hand.
There was no law covering such
matters, but the governor of the
province decided that the men
should be punished nevertheless.
At his orders they were sent to
have their heads and feet tied to.

Thad stevens and the Judge.

Thad Stevens was once engaged in
trying a case before judge noted
for his ignorance of the law. Dur
ing the trial the judge made rul-
ing which greatly incensed him,
when, with hands trembling and his
thin face redeemed, he began to tie
up his papers. "Do understand, y
asked the pompous judge, that you
are trying to show contempt for
this court?'' "No, sir,'' retorted
Stevens. II am not trying to show
contempt for this court. On the con-
trary, I'm doing my best to conceal
it. Time and the Hour.

"Are They Any Laundry:

Queer turns the abuse of the Eng

lean continent as we'll as in the
heart of the British capital. The
other day, from the passageway
where a certain domestic assistant
occasionally goes to make inquiries
of the mistress of the house. the lis
tener heard this question asked:
Are they any laundryg"
What the woman meant, put into
the fewest plain words, was this,
"Is there parcel to go to the laun-
dryf" The phrase was pure Ameri-
can, and was used by a native of
our great and glorious country.
Among some of the people, the
word laundry" means not merely
the place where washing is done,
but the articles washed, taken col
lectively. Not long ago the listener
saw in the window of a mans fur.

Answered First Time.

The doctor who made the reply
noted below was wise man because
he replied to question which no
one could answer in such terms that
the questioner thought him wise.
Doctor, J" said an old lady to her
family physician, "can you tell me
how it is that some children are
born dumb?"
"Why, certainly, madam, replied
the doctor. 1T is owing to the fact
that they come into the world with
out the faculty of speech.
"Dear me-" remarked the old
lady, 'now just see what it is to be
educated like a doctor! I've just
asked my husband the same thing
more than a dozen times, and all
could get out of him was, Because
they are. +"
The doctor laughed. Strand Mag

London Pawnbrokers.

The queer financial transactions
that have come out in recent causes
celebres in London drew the atten-
ton of British journalist to the
pawnbrokers, and some curious
facts has he discovered regarding
their business. One member of the
fraternity, who has had extensive
dealings with the aristocracy, re-
vealed the curious fact that, while
middle class people have horror Of
any sort of publicity in their deal
ings with the universal uncle, the
very low and the very high don't
care a hang" as he puts it. The
poor come staggering in at the
main entrance, ostentatiously car
rying their bundles, and the rich
use the same door. Indeed, so cal
lous are some of them" he says,
"that / have had carriages and pairs
with powdered servants stop here
and beautifully dressed lady per-
haps walk in with her footman in
front of her carrying a jewel case
containing the family heirlooms
that she wants to pledge. They
don't in the least mind their serv-
ants knowing all about it. And
yet," he added as an afterthought,
there is one person to whom a
smart woman would not like it to
be known-her banker. Bankers are
apt to get unpleasant about over
draftsif they fancy their clients pat
ronize US, you see.' Sometimes ro-
mantle incidents enliven the sweet
simplicity of cent per cent, as in the
case of an old lady who pledged her
wedding dress and then paid inter-
est on it for SO years to prevent it's

The Tomb of Lazarus.
Il HAS MAGIC.


The tomb is reached by descent
of 20 or more slippery, worn and of
course dirty steps.
The Moslems regard Lazarus as a
saint and have erected a mosque
over the place of his burial. Chris
tians are, of course, forbidden to en-
ter this mosque, and thus the steps
(made in the sixteenth century,
down which we have entered are ac-
counted for. In fact, there is now,
I believe, no entrance from the
mosque. The stairway leads to a
small, square antechamber. Turn to
your left through doorway, and
you are in the tomb proper, which is
made to hold three or four bodies.
On the east side is possibly the orig
inal entrance, now walled up The
tomb is high enough to stand up
right in and is cut in the solid rock
and lined with masonry. It is large
enough to hold quite company.
AS to its identity with the historic
tomb of Sacred Writ, opinion is di-
vided. We have accounts of its be-
ing visited in the twelfth century.
That it is a very ancient tomb and
one of the same character cannot
possibly be we'll disputed.
However, we accept it for what
we have known it to be for at least
seven or eight centuries-the tomb
of Lazarus. o. Tanner in A. M.
