SYMPTOMS or BUCK FEVER.
A Michigan's Mans First Experience
with a Deer.


A Marquette citizen tells the Mar
quette Mining Journal his experience
with buck fever" He had never tried
10 shoot deer, and hunting tLem was
new to him. After spcndinga few hours
tramping through the woods, feeling
tired, he sat down on log to rest for a
short time. Now. like most hunters. he
had taken his pipe and tobacco along.
Filling the pipe, he smoked for a time
without interruption, when, happening
to turn his head little to one side. he
saw a large buck coming straight
toward him. AS luck would have it,
he had sat down TO smoke near deer
trail.
The deer kept getting nearer and
nearer, until he got nearly opposite the
place where the hunter sat concealed.
While. the hunter was watching the ap-
proach of the deer he forgot that he had
a gun, and that the deer was his "meat."
lie began to tremble and shake in every
limb and joint, and it was a difficult
matter for him to restrain a yell of
fright. He watched and trembled until
the deer was passing his hiding place
and into the thicket beyond. Then. feel
ing for his pipe, he discovered that it
lay on the ground near his feet BY
the time he had picked it up the deer
was out Of range, and then he discov-
cred that in his excitement he had bit
ten the nouthpiece of his pipe in two.
He was greatly relieved to see the deer
move on, as it seemed to him that be was
the game and the deer the hunter.

story they tell Of a farmer in a certain
county not so miles away from St.

His wife had been in poor health for
some time, and one day he was called
in from his work because she was 50
much worse. The neighbor women tod

rushed cut to the stable, saGdled horse
and galloped toward the village, few
miles distant.
As he rode he met an interesting wild

been widow but six months, and the
departed one had left good farm to
her. OF course, she wondered WHY
Neighbor Jones was hurrying so. Sic

matter. lie pulled up his horse, turned
toward her and said:

about to ride on, but thought struck
him. He leaned over toward the widow
and asked. anxiously:
If she does die, will you have me?'

WENT TO JAIL FOR LOVE.
Woman Takes All the Blame for a
Murder Her Fiunce Committed.


Murder Her Eiunce Committed.
The supreme court Of Mexico has
asked President Diaz to pardon Maria
Montesi.los, who, some time ago, was
sentenced to 20 years imprisonment
iii Delsm Jail for a murder she never
committed. The crime for which she is
suffering punishment was the killing
of Pascaul Montafio, in q family quar-
rel. Miss Mcntesiilos' lo-er. Piquinto
Torres, w2s the real murderer, hut be-
cause she loved him Maria was willing
to take the penalty. She took al the
blame for the murder and during the
preliminary inquiry by the third crimi-
nal judge, and afterward at the trial
by jury, stoutly maintained that she,
and she alone, was responsible for the
death of AIontafio, whom she had killed,
she said, to free herself from his con-
staGt courtship and dishonorable
propositions. Torres, therefore, got
off scot free, and the woman, as the
murder was considered to have been
committed under aggravated circum-
stances, was sentenced to 90 years in
prison, sentence which she cheerfully
accepted. But Torres, when he got
out, was unfaithful, and jealousy then
proved too much for Maria when she
learned of this. She presented the
clearest proof that she was innocent
and Torres guilty, and showed letters
from him to that effect. Her first at
tempt to secure relief was made before
the superior tribunal and was uns,1c-
cessful, but the supreme court has just
set aside that decision and asked Presi-
dent Diaz to grant her freedom.

"Ever since the question of Ha-

opposed to it. The first thing l

call from the Federal Senate an
annexation treaty then pend

proposed annexation of these isl

annexing islands.

NEW HARBOR SCHEME.

EDITOR EVENING BULLETIN
In your leading article in reply to
communication in your paper
OF Monday, January "a, under the
heading, "The Wharf Matter"
you state:
"The proposition that Honolu
lu harbor has room and to spare
for wharves cannot be entertained
with any due conception of the
probabilities of the future. With
canal across the isthmus and a
cable laid, much more than the
present harbor accommodation is
likely to be inadequate. Pearl
harbor will in all probability
have to be opened to help receive
the commerce that will have its
depot here"
May it not be that we are little
blind in this matter, and are liable
to give Pearl harbor a benefit
which We are able to retain our
selves ?
Let me therefore call your at.
tention to body of water which
all are aware of, viz, the lake or
lagoon to the seward of Palama
and Kalihi reaching down to
Moanalua. This is deep water in
part, and portions are shallow
from sand washed in from sea, or
loan washed in from the land
side.
There is coral reef approach.
ing II from the hsrbor, so extern
sive as to probably debar an EN-
trance from thence, and therefore
Pearl harbor is to draw off the
overflow of shipping that would
come to Honolulu.
May it not then be that we are
a little blind of the land side of
this valuable body of water +?
Our government has shown, aud
is showing the valuable qualities
OF it's dredging machine both in
mud and in soft coral.
1t may be, therefore. if the state
ments of Mr.. b. +. Dillingham; in
the morning paptr are correct,
that there are from Is to 70 feet of
mud on his tide land, that there is
also sufficient mud for ship canal
all the way down between his
work shops and the prison
through the rice marshes to the
lagoon seaward of Palama.
MIR. Dillingham; will remember,
if strangers are ignorant of
the fact, that the original site
of his r.. r. depot was large
fresh water pond; and the state
ment made in the BULLETIN, |
think, that the Nuuanu stream
would be turned in that direction,
which was its old route before it
ran into the harbor, il certain
lands could be obtained for rea-
sonable sum, is probably correct.
Now, then, why not, since it
can be proved for small sum of
money expended by the govern
ment, sound and probe this sup-
posed canal, obliterated by mud
deposits, and hold on to all our
harbor and wharf facilities until
they are exhausted ?
If this canal is of mud alone, it
will not equal in extent the work
already done by the dredger dur
ing the past two years; and the
canal once opened, the valuable
mud digger can provide shipping
accommodation in advance of
what will arrive.
As you rightly say in your article

ways to get over even natural con-
ditions that may Distract inordi-
nate sway"
