PENALTIES FOR SOLDIERS
MILITARY METHODS OF EN-
FORCING DISCIPLINE
In the Army and Navy Those Who
Are Guilty of Breaking Orders
Are Severely Dealt With-Great
COwardice in Battle Sometimes
Some of the Work the Recall
cftrant Soldier Has to Do.
From the PhiIadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
PuntshmentS resorted to in the or
mics and navies throughout the world
differ from those used among civilians,
In that they are quicker, more rigid,
and, perhaps, more severe. 1t has
been found necessary, however, that in
military affairs, the soldiers and sail
ors who have been guilty Of breaking
any of the orders or rules laid down
by their superiors shall be severely
punished, for, as military officer
once said: discipline is necessary to
the existence of an army, and pun
lshment Is necessary to maintain dis
cipline.'
The punishment adopted by the va
rious nations Of the world, in dealing
with their soldiers and sailors, differ;
those OF the United States and Eng
land are the most similar Proba bly
the worst forms Of punishment are
used in the eastern countries, China.
Arabia, &c.
The ancestors of the present Ameri-
cans came, principally, from England,
and 1T was natural that they Should
adopt the customs Of the old country
Some years ago one of the forms Of
punishment in the English army and
navy was logging. A soldier or sailor
who had been guilty Of what the Off
GERS considered a grave offense were
f1ogged with a rattan cane, or with
the famous o'-1line-tails. So it
happened that in the American mill
tary serious f1ogging was resorted to.
For light offense the culprit re-
ceived from half dozen to ten or
twenty blows; for graver offenses,
sometimes fifty or even more; in both
the English and American navies this
form Of punishment was very common
and the sailors who disobeyed orders
or broke the rules expected it, In
1861, however, f1ogging was abolished
In the American service, and it is no
longer used in England.
The system of deciding the various
military punishments in the United
States is by court martial. Certain
officers are appointed by the military
authorities to hear the facts in the
case and whatever defense the culprit
may care to make When they have
heard all sides Of the subject they de-
eide whether or no the prisoner de-
serves punishment and Of what kind
1t shall be-.

WILL BE BUILT BY PORTUGUESE
SOCIETY.
Plans Call for Three Story Building
-Gaspar Sylvia Advances the Money
A Stone Front.

Honolulu is to have another fine
business block. The San Antonio
Benefit Society, composed of promi-
nent Portuguese citizens, will be the
builder.
The location is on Merchant street,
on the land now occupied by the ia
panese hotel, just above the lum-
ber yard. The property belongs to
the society and it is proposed that it
shall yield a much larger revenue
than at present.
The new block will be three stories
in height and will have a pretty stone
front. 1t will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. This money will be
advanced to the society by Gaspar
Sylvia, the ranchman.
The ground floor will contain two
large stores. Four large and comodi-
Gus offices will be fitted on the second
floor, while the entire upper portion
of the building will be devoted to the
society. There will be large assem-
bly, hall, with two large adjoining
rooms.
The plans of the proposed building,
which are now in the hands of Presi-
dent j. T. Figueredo, were made by
Ripley & Dickey.
There are one or two other fine bus
mess blocks in contemplation. In the
advent of annexation, they would be
constructed Immediately.

THE AUDIENCE LIKED TT.

1.-The song that touched their hearts,
is as old as the hills, almost. The
leading man in "The Dazzler" combi.
nation, which has just closed sue
cessful engagement, made a big hit
every night with his bicycle song. He
never failed to bring down the house
when he reached the verse telling
about the good qualities of the Sterl-
ing bicycles. The audiences were all
ready to hear good word said about
these wheels, and heartily encored the
singer each night. The song was al.
most as much of hit as the Sterl-
ing wheels have always been. Pacific

CLUFF and THE NATIVES
HE FINDS THEM WITH NO REASON
TO OFFER.
Has Just Come From Laie Where He
has Been Pursuing His Investigation
"A Big Obstacle.

b. Cluff, Jr., of Salt Lake City, who
came to the Islands for Senator
Frank Cannon of Utah, to make a
careful investigation among the Ha-
waiians concerning their position on
the annexation problem is meeting
with one big obstacle in his work.
While he finds a great number of
natives opposed to the amalgamatlon
of the Islands with the United States,
he is wholly unable to ascertain from
the majority of them, reasons for their
stand against anneation.
Some have absolutely no argument
to offer while others are reticent.
There is no question but that senti-
ment has considerable to do with il.
Mr.. Cluff has just returned from Laie
where he has been making further in
quiries. He is making his home at
the Mormon Mission on Punchbowl
street.
Mr. Cluff is keeping Senator Can
non well posted. He expects to leave
for Salt Lake City on March 9th, and
will have a personal conference with
Senator Cannon very shortly after
ward. Mr.. Cluff was IA resident of the
Islands many years ago, he being To-
Gated at Laie.

SENATOR HOLSTEIN'S RETAIL
LICENSE BILL.
Provides for Saloons in Country Dis
Drank on the Premises.

There was but little business before
the Senate this morning and when
several matters were disposed of, SEN
ator Baldwin moved an adjournment,
out of respect to the day-Washing-
tons birthday.
Senator Waterhouse, for the Finance
Committee, asked for more time on
the petition of Palihea, who wants the
Government to remit taxes to the
amount of $51.70.
Senator Lyman, for the Judiciary
Committee, made similar request in
regard to Senate bill No. 1.
Copies of bill No. 6 were distribut-
ed. This bill was introduced by SEN
ator Holstein and authorizes licenses
to be issued for the sale of wines, not
to exceed 20 per cent of alcohol, and
beers and ales, not to exceed II per
cent of alcoholic strength. The bill
provides that the wine and beer must
be drank on the premises where sold.
The annual license is to be 5000, and
not more than ten licenses are to be
issued in Honolulu, and not more than
three or four for each of the judicial
districts of the Republic.
Under suspension of the rules SEN
ator McCandless introduced wide

LIFE INSURANCE.

By referring to the fifty-fourth an

Mutual Life Insurance Company of
Boston, Mass, published in this issue,
it will he seen that this old and relia-
bic company is as solid as a rock, and
investments in it are beyond all qucs-
ton of doubt. No better advice can
be given a young man, than to take
out in a good life insurance company.
like the New England Mutual, policy
of insurance for such reasonable
amount as he could be certain of car
rying. The laws of Massachusetts,
under which this company is organi2-
ed, are very strict with insurance com
panies, and provide that policies are
non-forfeitable after two annual pre-
miums have been paid, and compel
the company to issue paid up poll
cy for an amount in accordance with
their published tables.
For the Hawaiian Islands. Castle &
Cooke are the agents, who particularly
recommend it to any one wanting life

A LAME ARGUMENT

Reports are spread from Washing
ton that the sugar factories in Nebras-
ka, which are owned by the Sugar
Trust and the Oxnards, are Offering
$4 a ton for beets of the next crop,
provided Hawaiian annexation shall
be beaten, and only $3.50 ton if it
shall be successful. This is a very
dishonest method of working against
the treaty and can only make friends
for the cause.

A PUBLIC NUISANCE.

Editor Star: 1t is time for this
community to protest against the use
of the "odorless" excavator during the
day time. This morning it is at work
on Hobron's corner, and the odor for
block around is sickening. Work of
this nature, while it may be necessary,
need not be done during hours when
it is so disagreeable to people, and if
we are to consider ourselves as civ
ilized we will follow the example of
older communities, and have the work
done during the night. The matter
has been referred to before in the
press, but without result apparently.
1t would seem that it would be only
necessary to bring such a matter to
the notice of the Board of Health, to
have the hours for the use of the ex-
cavator limited to those which would
be the least Objectionable to the peo-
pie, and it is hoped that this commu-
nication, and such notice as you may
wish to take of it, will have that re-
suit.
