THE DOG AND THE LAW.

Since the Bishop of Honolulu applied
the Mosaic law TO women's dress in
this city, and it was discovered that
he had, himself, violated the same
Mosaic law in his own dress, and
therefore had incurred the penalty OF
being stoned to death, according to
Moses, the following anecdOte, with
some bearing on this subject, has been
furnished to us, with the usual, if not
legally authentic, vouchers of its cor
rectness:
The late Charles Spencer of HiIo pos
sessed a dog that he had trained to
gather and bring stones to his hand,
whenever a person or animal appeared
in sight that, in the opinion of the dog,
ought to be stoned
On one occasion a certain Prelate
appeared in Hilo, whose dress was not
in accordance with modern fashion,
or with the Mosaic directions, as indi-
Gated in Deuteronomy. The Prelate,
while a guest Of Mr.. Spencer, became
extremely offensive to the dog by rea-
son of the peculiar dress. While the
Prelate was officiating at a morning
service in the house, at the request of
Mr.. Spencer, who at times had rare
sense of humor, the dog busiIy gath
cred in the yard and brought into the
house, and laid at Mr.. Spencer's feet,
heap of large pebbles suitable for
being hurled at repulsive or hostile
persons and animals. On rising from
his knees, the reverent Mr.. Spencer
perceived this accumulation of missiles,
and also noticed that the dog was
waiting for him to begin action. But
the Prelate was spared, and the dog
was disappointed when the stones
were thrown out of the window.
The question still remains unansw-
cred: Was the dog through some occult
process, so far unknown to man, in
stigated and directed to enforce the
Mosaic penalty of stOning to death up
on one who had violated the law?

KNEW DIR. MYERS.
Monadnock Man Who Found an
Old Friend Here

a young man of Savannah, Ga, who
was here aboard the Monadnock, writes
TO a friend at his home the following.
which appears IN a Savannah paper:
Il am going for a long drive TO
points of interest this afternoon with
some Of the Hawaiian army officers. l
have not met Mr.. Dole yet, but 1 have
seen him. I met DR.. r. P. Myers, form
erly of Savannah, who is a surgeon n
the army of Hawaii"
The letter closes with personal al
lusions ard references to friends
The DR.. Myers the young man speaks
of in his letter will be recalled by
many Of the older Savannahians He
is a brother Of Mr.. Frederick Myers Of
this city and at one time was quite q
prominent physician here. He left Sa-
vannah several years ago. During part
of the time he was stationed here he
was the physician in charge Of the St.
Joseph's infirmary.

PEACE BRINGS RELIEF.

While the newspapers of the Main
land, received by the last mail, are
filled with war news, and reflect the
general feeling Of triumph over the
Spaniards, on the declaration Of peace,
there is hardly a reference to the most
important object of the war, the move
men in the interests of humanity, and
the relief of the suffering Cubans
The instant President Mckinley fixed
his name to the protocol of peace on
August 18th, the closed doors of Ha-
vana began to open, and the Red Cross,
with its fleets Of supplies, began to
move towards the sick and the suffer
ing and the starving. The great Mas
ter cared little for the vast range and
deadly aim of Simpsons guns. He
did not hear the shout Of victory, roll
ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific
over the miserable, weak, Overmatched
vessels of the unframed and deluded
Spaniards, and the surrender of the
Spanish West Indies to the United
States. His eye was fixed on the many
thousands of His creatures tasting the
bitterness of death through starvation,
disease and exposure. The CORES
pondents" have told us about it;
that there has been nothing more hor-
rible in this nineteenth century than
this desOlation in Cuba; hungry men
unable to walk; babes dying at the
breast for want of nourishment; little
children in the semblance of skeletons
lying by the road side; the old and
crippled huddled in small quarters in
the city of Havana, unable to move and
praying to God to relieve them by
death Of their sufferings from hunger.
Everywhere was utter misery that re-
calls the stories of mans inhumanity to
man in the barbaric ages. And all of
this appalling suffering was increased
and doubled by the blockade, the inflic-
ton of an evil to be followed by the
largest good.
1t is not song of triumph that we
should sing, but rather one of peace
and good will that the doors which
have so long been closed on the suffer
ing Cubans have now opened, ION gold
en- hinges turning" and Our Lady of
Sorrow smiles through her tears, as the
Angels of the Red Cross kneel before
these myriads of sufferers and defy
humanity before the world.

REWARD OF MERIT.

At the CHICAGO CYCLE SHOW in
1897, each visitor on entering the
Show was handed a coupon reading as
below:
after viewing the exhibits, kindly
fill in the name of the Bicycle which
pleases you best as regards beauty
and mechanical merit, and deposit the
coupon in ballot box near exits.
Name Of Bicycle. "
The "Shirk' received 17,489 ballots
against 1877 the next highest. When
it is known that all the leading makes
OF wheels in the United States were
on exhibition at this Show, the above
speaks for itself. The HONOLULU
BICYCLE co. have secured the Agency
for this strictly high grade wheel.

CHEAP LIQUOR.

We shall take a lively interest in
the Interstate commerce, as it will,
as soon as the permanent territorial
laws are passed, affect our own trade.
The Supreme Court of the United
States recently decided that the sale
of oleomargarine could not be inter
fered with by any State, when the
article was imported from another
State. The case arose in Pennsylvania,
where the defendants were indicted for
selling oleomargarine as an article of
food. They received it from other
States and sold it in the same pack
ages in which it came to them, I'M
broken, as agents for the manufacture
ers. The trial courts decided in their
favor, but the Pennsylvania Supreme
Courts took a different view holding
that "a manufactures who puts up his
PRODUCTS in packages evidently adapt
ed for and intended to meet the re-
uuirements of an unlawful retail trade
in another State and sends them to
his own agent IN that State for sale to
consumers is not engaged in inter-
state commerce. but is engaged y an
effort to carry on forbidden business
by masquerading in a characte" to
which he has no honest title The
punishment of such sales was there
fore declared ao1 to be an interference
with the powers of Congress or With
the commerce between the States watch
is protected by the Federal Constttu-
ton. The Supreme Court of the United
States, however, thinks otherwise,
deeming the Pennsylvania statute in
valid, as an attempt to regulate inter
state commerce. The same question
was involved and the same result was
reached in an oIeomargarine case from
New Hampshire.
The importation of whiskey and all
other alcoholic liquors from the States
to these Islands will, therefore, be free
and cannot be controlled. The use of
these articles may be forbidden or reg
ulated, as a police or sanitary meas
ure, but the importation of them can
not be restricted unless Congress en-
acts a law forbidding the traffic in
whiskey from every State to every
other This it will not do, as the max
ing and sale of whisky is one of the
great industries, and the internal rev
enue from the sale is enormous.
Our danger lies in the importation
of cheap WHISTLES, high wines" as
they are called, which work vast in
jury.
