Bismarck as Dr. JekHll.

No greater contrast could possibly be imagined than that which existed be- tween tEe Bisu arck of private life and the Bismarck of politics. "In the home circle" writes a correspondent who knew him we'll, "he was perfectly charming, easy going and good natured. He was passionately fond of children. and have seen him over and over again have a game with the little ones of his gardener, who were very familiar with him and would not hesitate to climt upon his knee.
 "Once when his gardener little girl died the great statesman went to con dole with him. He was dreadfully up set and while holding the poor father hand burst into tears, for he was very fond of the child He kissed the little corpse and himself placed a bunch oi roses in its hand. He was always eager to assist his poorer neighbors and en joyed chatting with them on all sub iects but politics These he never men l tioued. ''-London Chronicle.

How Bankruptcy Strikes a Maori.

A Maori chief who lost $40 through a white storekeeper going through the bankruptcy court has given the follow ing lucid exposition of this particular branch of British jurisprudence: "The pakeha (white man) who wants to be- come pakarapu (insolvent) goes into business and gets los of goods and does not pay for them. He then gets all the money he can together, say ga, 900, and puts all of it except e5 away where no one can find it. With the e5 he goes to judge of the court and tells him he wants to become pakarapu.
 "The judge then calls all the lawyers together, likewise all the men to whom the pakeha owes money, and he says. This man is pakarapu, but he wishes to give you all that he has got, and SC he has asked me to divide this e5 among you all. The judge thereupon gives the lawyers e4 and the remaining e1 to the other men. Then the pakeha goes home. '-London Chronicle.

 --1n reviewing the past, it may be we'll to note some of the personal and business changes that have taken place since the borough charter was granted. Of the first court of burgesses elected but three are living, and only one of them-George c. arkess-resides in the borough or in the state. Warden Julius Converse, and Burgesses George M. Ives, John K. Lord and B. w. Patten have passed away. A. Howard, the first clerk and treasurer, is at present chairman of the board of bur- gesses. Of the 35 subordinate officers on the first ticket elected 16 survive, and 13 reside in the borough. With the excep- tion of Smith & Cooley manufacturing ooucoTu, L. C DenIllS W A. COmlnS ana The Press, none of the mills or industries in the borough are in the hands of the people owning or managing them at that time, and with the exception of Anthony Adams, Gary Bros, G, H. Baker $ Co.,, W. D. Heald, J. F. Chamberlin, J. M Horniss, Dr. c. B. Newton and J. W. Oh 'ndler, none of the business men were in the lines they now follow. None of the lawyers then active in town are now here, and but one, s. E. Fairfield, Is liv- ing. The money cost of the changes wrought in the physical conditions of the borough, while counting up, will in the aggregate amount to an average annual outlay of about $5.73s, which would in- clude the loss of the original borough hall and highway damage by the flood of 1877. The items of receipts and expen- ditures for the % years since the borough started may be of interest and of value for fntura roforopoo and ra vi1ox, horo

We have not included in above the items of borrowed money received or paid, and for the purpose of ascertaining the cost of the fire department, borough hall, street lights and police, some items have been added which in the annual re- ports appear in the miscellaneous ex- penses. A careful study of the figures given and results obtained will be of val ue in prosecuting the work of the coming years. Many times the question has been rai5ed-have the best results, for the money, been obtained? especially upon the highway expense, that being the largest item in the list. Of the SIG, ,SW. 1S expended for grading, macadam, etc. about $S, 800 covers the cost of the mac. adam road laid down by the borough.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1898-08-03
AND THAT MEANWHILE NO COURT
CAN SIT.
Jurisdiction of the Circuit Court AS
sailed in Two Important Criminal
Cases-The Objection Overruled.

Following up the attack made on
the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court
by Cecil Brown on Monday in the civ
il cases in which he was interested,
Attorney George w. Davis again
fiercely assailed Judge Stanley's right
to hold court this morning in the two
criminal cases in which he is associat-
ed for the defense with Judge David
son. The matter came up at the op-
ening of court on the motion to quash
the indictments against G. L. Edwards
and w. D. Hamilton, the latter being
for murder in the first degree.
In his argument Mr. Davis held
that from the time President McKin-
ley signed the joint resolution an
neXing Hawaii, these Islands became
American soil, and by the terms of
the resolution the entire machinery
of government became vested in the
hands of President Mckinley. Pend
ing the arrival Of the commissioners
from the President, the attorney now
claimed that an interregnum existed
in Hawaii, during which no courts
could be held. He cited the instance
of the province of Canada becoming
united under the Dominion, when it
was held that the provincial courts
had no jurisdiction after the passage
of the act creating the Dominion. Mr..
Davis maintained that no courts could
be held here until the sovereignty of
the United States was complete>1 by
the hosting of the flag and the re-
commissioning of the officials.
Judge Stanley in overruling the mo-
tions, said that nothing had been adj
vanced to cause him to change his
opinion since making the ruling on
Monday. The ATTORNEYS could take
their exceptions but he would hear
no more argument.
