DIAMOND HEAD LIGHT.
Bittery Controversy Likely as to Suf-
ticiency of Construction.

1t seems more than probable that
experts will be employed to make an
examination and report on the con-
struction of the Diamond Head light
The suf1iciency of the plans and con-
struction was questioned in the Sea-
ate, and a committee went out there
to examine it. But while some of the
members of the Committee were con-
firmed by their examination in their
belief in the insutficiency of it, others
who examined it claim that it is en-
tirely safe and sufficient. 1t has
been built strictly in conformity with
the plans, so that the real issue wher
the committee reports will be as to
the suiliciency of the plans and the
calculations on which these are bas-
ed. The contention is likely to be
very bitter because there are men Of
experience and judgment on both
sides of the question. The Senate
committee will probably report on he
subject on Monday.

The First American Duel.

In the year 1880 occurred the first
duel known to have taken place on
American soil. The principals, Edward

quarreled over some trifling matter and
resorted to the field for Its settlement.

wounded in the thigh and the other In

should be punished nevertheless. At

French Scientist Fears that Popula-

The MARQUIS de Nadaillac, French

culatons that are curiously suggestive.
They concern the dangers of health.
Since the memory Of man runs not TO
the contrary, or, more definitely, since
the late Jeremy Bentham inaugurated
the doctrine of the greatest good or the
greatest number, there has been an ef-
fort, tentative yet perceptible, to get
things shlp-shape, to provide through
arbitration against war, to improve
sanitation, to fell disease, to foster mat
rimony and simplify existence.
One does not need to be prophetic to
assume that ultimately the effort Will
succeed. But consider the result. What

continuous matrimony, In no time at all

populated and that there won't be
enough food to go around. If he is
right, then. indeed, the struggle for life
will begin in earnest, and not of indi-

While studying social conditions in

was advised by Tolstoi to visit the
Naiars on the Malabar coast of India,
and witness type of civilization I'M
known elsewhere among the inhabitants
Of earth. Here, according to writer,
the husband is mere incident III the
social organization. Woman's power Is
sutocratic and absolute. She wins or
divorces husband at will She frames
md administers the laws by which he
lives, and through her is the descent of
the property, which he may earn, but
not own. The rieefield is his active
arena, and il industrious and frugal
proving himself capable Of maintaining
u family-Eomo Naiar maid invites him
to become her husband. The successful
man of eligible years is wooed and won
as is the fortunate and accomplished
maiden of our country.
The improperly of manifesting affec-
tion for woman before it is solicited
is thoroughly instilled into the mind Of
the Naiar man, and, while the strife be-
tween natural tendencies and national
custom may sometimes approach the ma
ture of an irrepressible conflict, to yield
is ruin and humiliation irreparabie.
The eligible bachelor must await an
avowal of love and choice and suffer in
silence il it be long withheld. The
Naiars are of Brahman origin and much
above the average inhabitants of India
in intelligence and in the administration
of their native government. Better ma.
tive schools are found here than else
where in India, and a surprising degree
of domestic contentment.- Springfield

the gentleman. and as he pulled himself
along. was nlmbly supplanted by an
other little bootblack, who was imme-
diately ut the gentleman's feet and
ready to begin.

man to the intruder somewhat angrlly.

brightly. "Jamie's jist wee while DOT
