To act at one and the same timd, as
German emperor and King of Prussia
is no sinecGre, says the Pail Mall Ga
Zette. In addition to the functions nat!
urally pertaining to his exalted position
he has to solve terrifying number of
questions that in other countries would
be reserved for the municipal audhorl+
ties. Thus the question as to the sys-
tenn of electric tremways to be adopted
in Berlin is lying in the kaiser's cabinet
for final decision. The plan Of the lines
has already been approved, but thesys-
tenn of conducting the current has not
been settled. The emperor has there
fore to act, as it were, as imperial en-
gineer in deciding between overhead
wires and underground conductors or
accumulation cars.
AS soon as he has pronounced his hoe
volo, sic jubeo, Berlin will be provided
with the largest system of electrical
tramways on the continent. The Ber-
lin Tramway company has already COM
pleted its preparations, the lines are
laid and the cars are ready; only the
wires and poles for conducting the cur
rent have to be procured. Everything,
therefore, will be in full working order
by the summer. The emperor is GER
tainly taking plenty of time for his de-
clsion, for the plans have been in his
civil cabinet since October, and are still
without bis signature.

S well-deiined prejudice agains;
curly haired men when it comes to
choosing a jury to try criminal cases,
says the New Orleans imes-Democrat.
The prejudice, when it is manifested,
comes from the defense. When asked
to explain the objection to curly haired
men, a prominent practitioner said:
when l was just starting my legal
mentor incuicated that idea to me. He
said that curly-haired men had almost
invariably been the pampeTed dar:ings
OF their parents and in their youth ha.i
been so used 10 having their own way
that they had come to believe that every
body on earth was wrong except them
selves. In this way the seeds of oppo-
sition were sown, and when they grow
older they make point to disagree with
everybody and everything. If every
body else on the jury votes for acquittal
they vote for conviction as matter of
course. They live on combat and are
as stubborn as the days are long. A
curly haired man never gets on jury
when I am defending a man if can see

A duel is forthcoming aud the
people who were on Merchant
Street this morning are trembling
aud speaking in low tones about the
serious event.
DR.. Serene e. Bishop of Sunspot
fame tackled Mort Oat, the genial
Poet Master g General, and in an ex-
cited manner demanded to know
why his letters had not yet been de-
lvered and why "island mail" was
to be assorted prior to Honolulu
letters aud, in fact, why the Postal
service was so bad as it is.
The Post Master. General tried TO
smooth down the reverend gentle
man refraining from calling id
liar, but asserting that the mail from
the Australia had just arrived and
that no efforts were made to assort
mail for the other islands, as no
steamers would leave during the
morning.
Words we're followed by more
words and at last friends intervened
before any bloodshed took place.
LATER-A meeting between the
p. M. g. and the irritated DR.. Bishop
has been arranged to take place at

but all citizens of these islands feel

Is Mr., Dole in position to assist
the annexationists in Washington,
who are working tooth and nail for
the accomplishment OF the steal of
of Hawaii? We think not. The
proposed amendment to the treaty
OF Senator Bacon of submitting the
question of annexation to vote of
the Hawaiians has caused Mr., Dole
to express himself to the irrepressi-
BILE interviewer saying that such a
step would mean the death OF the
annexation scheme. He is reported
as having added to his remarks that
the majority OF the Hawaiians we're
ignorant and opposed to annexation
but that tho "intelligent" classes
were unanimously in favor of seeing
their country an integral part OF the

in the following dispatch:
WASHINGTON, January 17.-Presi-
dent Dole of Hawaii will not be the
guest of the United States during
his stay in this country. The State
Department has made no plans for
his entertainment, and can make
none, though the fact that the visit
ing Executive had to stay over night
on the Peru instead of being taken
ashore at once is deplored. This is
attributed to an oversight on the
part of a Treasury official. The
State Department has no funds at
it's disposal, nor has it banquet
rooms or apartments for receptions,
80 that there can be no official re-
ception or entertainment. In all
visits of foreign rulers there have
been previous announcements en-
abling Congress to make provision
for entertainment The time is too
short for this action now, and it is
felt, also that there might be OBJ
lection aud debste which would be
unpleasant and detrimental to the
interests OF Hawaii.

ALLOWED TO SMOKE.
Wiles of the Wife to Get Him to Re-
sumo n dad Habit

He had told HIS wife before they
were married that he would never,
never, give up smoking. and that he
would make no promises only to break
them again, and she had responded
sweetly that she honored him for his
candor, and there the matter rested un-
til they had returned from their we'd
ding trip and settled down TO house
keeping.
Then a change came DER the spirit
of their dreams. BY alternate coaxing
and nagging the young wife induced
her husband to give up his beloved pipe
and tobacco, but his disposition
changed so that she hardly knew him.
From being a sociable, sympathetic
companion he degenerated into a
household mute. His wife thought
matters over, and being a girl of sense
concluded to give him his freedom and
call back his sunny disposition. But
how? After moving heaven ard earth
to get him to relinquish smoking it
would never do to ask him to smoke
again. Womanlike, she hit upon an
eXpedient.

Harold, but he saw that he was trip
