BOHEHIIAN FORESTS.
They Are systematically and Care
fully Protected by Govern
ment Regulations.

United States Consul Mahin writes to
the state department from Reichenberg:
Bohemia is one of the most pOpulous
countries on the globe. Its climate is
relatively cool, with rather severe win
tiers. Therefore. much fuel is used, and it
is largely taken from the forests which
cover the mountain sides. Yet, after the
many centuries during which these
forests have furnished fuel and build
ing material for dense population,
they retain nearly their primeyal area.
This is due to the forethought of the
government in ordaining that as trees
were cut down others should be plant
ed to fill the vacancies. Vast stretches
of dense forests cover the mountain
slopes of this district. The wood Is
mostly pine. Trees are constantly be-
ing cut. but wherever a clearing is
made, small trees are planted the next
spring. What at a distance may APP
pear to be bare spot in the forest,
on near view is seen to be covered with
little trees set out in symmetr rows
and varying in height according to
the length of time since they were
planted. These rev trees are raised
from the seed in small Enclosures scat
tered in the mountains, and are thence
transplanted. \ similar custom in the
United States might yet avert the Sc
iioua danger threatening al least the
western rart,cf OIL country"

WEDDING BELLS.
Church. LipscOmb.

Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock, at
the residence Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Eugene Lochridge on South Garden
street, Miss Abilene Laura Lips
comb was united in marriage to Mr..
Ed Church, Rev. p. A. Sowell
officiating.
About this marriage there hangs
an interesting bit of romance. Mr..
Church and Miss Lipscomh had been
"friends"-in the sense of the word
as used in lovers lore-tOr several
years, and, so the story goes, were
engaged to be married when Mr..
Church removed from here about
two years ago. For some reason,
however, the marriage was post
pOned, and, as appears from sub
sequeut events, the love between the
two began to wane. and the engage
ment was broken off.
When the two regiments of Mis-
sissippi volunteers were brought
here some weeks ago, one among the
number was Sergeant Carl Hugo
Drake. A strong friendship gre W
up between Miss Lipscomb and
Sergt. Drake, and this friendship
quickly ripened into love. The re-
suit was that their marriage was
publicly announced in the HERALD
last week, and the wedding was to
have taken place last Wednesday
morning at $3.50 o'clock at the resi-
dence of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Il f. LipscOmb, on South Main
street. Cards were issued annOunc-
ing the marriage, and all prepare
tiOns had been made for the event.
Several days ago, however, Mr.,
Church arrived in the city, and this
made a change in the program. He
began Immediately with true
lovers ardOr to ingratiate himself
once more INTO the affections of the
lady who had always been first in
his hearts affection, and to try to
regain the hand that had once been
promised to him. AS with him so
with her; the old love was the
strOngest,and being woOed the young
lady quickly returned to her first
love. The remainder of the story Is
told in the first paragraph of this
article.
Mr. and Mrs. Church left Tuesday
evening on the north. bound train
fer Nashville, and will 20 from there
to McMinnville, Tenn, where they
will reside for the present
The bride is a fascinating young
lady, and possesses many noble
qualities. Mr.. Church formerly
lived at this place, but is now a
travelling representative for ma
chine company. He is a half
brother to Mr.. r. G. Church of this
city, and highly respected and de-
serving young man. The many
friends of these two popular young
people will extend to them their
congratulations aud best wishes for
a happy married life.

did not suit. he could be given his
walking paper and another umpire Sc
cured. 1t was suggested that the mat
ter of umpires be left until later as
there were other matters that should
be settled first.
After a great deal of talk it was
finally decided to begin the season of
1898 on the 9th of April and that the
schedule should be twenty-one games.
j. B. German of the Regiment team
spoke about the advertising. The
newspapers should be paid for adver-
tising the games. Without the support
of the newspapers, the crowds could
not be attracted to the field to see the
games. The matter of getting passes
on the tram cars for the players was
also suggested.
Along in this same line Captain
Coyne suggested the appointment of a
man by the three teams, whose duties
shall be to see to all the advertising
and matters of that kind and who
shall assume somewhat the position of
a general manager. The Association
had no such a man. Besides that it
was necessary to have man to whom
all protests can be referred. Nothing
was done in this matter by the League
and the meeting adjourned subject to
the call of the president, the meeting
not to be put off any later than the
18th of this month.
After the meeting, the captains of
the various teams got together and
1ox Grct croY nf tho
season with the following result:
First game, Honolulu VS.. Union; sec
ond game, Union vs. Regiment. The
remainder of the schedule will be ar
ranged later. Some of the games will
be played on holidays and it will re-
quire a special meeting of the captains
to decide on the remainder of the
schedule.
Following is the makeup of the
teams as arranged at the present time:
First Regiment - Hennessey and
German, (Captain), pitcher and catch
er respectively; Harry Wilder, first
base; A. H. Moore, second base; Percy
Lishman, short-stop; G. A. Bower,

was proper because there was a con-
fiict of testimony as to the ownership
of the pistol that was supposed to have
been the one used in committing the
deed, and also because Kapea did not
know where Iosepa and his brother
Johnny were on the evening of the
murder. How in the name OF common
sense the fact that there was dispute
as to who owned the pistol could tend
in the slightest degree to prove that
Kapea aided and abetted in the murder
is more than several members of our
bar can understand And the fact that
kapea testified that he did not know
where lokepa and Johnny went to that
evening, instead of tending to prove
that Iokepa did the deed and that Ka-
pea helped him, does just the reverse.
| believe that our Court has done
what other able Courts occasionally
do-made serious blunder. In my
opinion the verdict of time will rele-
gate the decision in the kapea case to
place beside the case of the Queen
VS.. Lau Kin Chew, ct al. Is Haw. 300,
and In re appointment Of Cabinet"
6 Haw. $780, under the head of bad
Law" But unfortunately for Kapea
and Kaio, they will have, in the mean
time, paid the penalty at the gailows.
One other point in the Courts deci-
sion is worthy of notice, and that is
the refusal to interfere with the action
of the prosecution in imprisoning its
principal witnesses and refusing access
to them by defendants counsel. If two
witnesses can thus be rendered mac
cessible, then every witness who knows
anything about a case can be disposed
of in the same way. If this practice
is allowed to continue by way of sup
plement to the cowardly quizzing
process which the police are so fond
of subjecting prisoners to, We might
as well repeal at once the presump-
tion that every man is innocent until
proven guilty, and compel every pris-
ioner to prove his innocence or take
the consequences.

1.-THE above communication is print
ed only in the interests of free
speech The points made by Mr.. Ro-
bertson are those made in his brief,
and fair tribunal, regardful of hui
man life has oyerruled them. The dis
cussion is therefore at an end. The
public are in no way whatever in
position to judge of the force of these
points, unless they read also the points
made by counsel for the Government,
and besides that, read the full text of
the opinion of the Court. The common
sense of the community, mistaken at
times, has not faltered in the slightest
in reaching the conclusion in this case,
that the persons charged with the Of
fense are clearly guilty.
With due respect to able and Jealous
counsel, we must say, that in score
of murder cases, of which we have had
some intimate knowledge during the
last 20 years, we do not recall one in
which the counsel for the convicted
party, naturally influenced by his zeal,
believed that his client was justly or
properly convicted In the late cele-
brated case of Carlyle w. Harris, con-
victed and executed for poisoning his
wife in New York City, his counsel did
not dare to put him on the witness
stand in self-defense, and after his
case had been thoroughly examined
by IL different judges, who were un-
animous in convicting him, his coun-
sci appealed to the public on exparte
statements, and petitions signed by
many thousands of people asked for
his pardon on the ground that he was
innocent.
1t is pretty safe to stand by our
judges in such cases. If they do not
know their business, surely the public
don't know 1.-THE EDITOR1
