dition that it was unit for uss. and that
SIZE had already paid mora TO the plain

PROPERTY SEIZED.
Misiumskey's House Coniiscated 10
The Government.
when Officers ca lea Ownsr of Building
Was Not Present.

Acting upon instructions from internal
Revenue Collector Lake at Hartfori, 4,
Deputy Collector Cavanaugh seized tie
house at $40 North Main street abour 4
O o'clock Yesterday Afternoon and declared
1t conflscated to the United States govern
ment. Ibis is the house where the i'll
licit still was seIzed last weak, and is
owned by Jacob Mistums skey, Jewish
peddler, VINO lives in the upper part of
the ahouse. The property was forfeited
TO the government under the stature Of
the United strtts, which provides that
all real nnd personal property found
within the inclosure where the Illicit
still is found shall become governme {
property. If the owner OF the property
has Lot violated the revenue laws 1t
makes no difference, for IL is then taken
on the ground OF tonDivance ut or cog
nizance of such violation.
II fro property thus -forfcftctf yesterday
includes the house In which the still was
located and the ANAL cottage In une rear
facing on Stampers strest. T.ere Is a part
Of fence between these houses, snd 1t is
a fine point To be decided whether the
small cottage shall be included in the
seizure or not. 1t rests simply on what
the definition of enclosure Is decided to
mean. There Is said to he mortgage OF
$3.50 on the riace. so that tho equity In
II cannot be very great.
Accompanying Deputy Cavanauah
we're Deputies Gilmnrtin and CLARKE.
Uron entering the house II was found
that Mistun skey Was not mt home. SO the
announcement was made to Mrs Mis-
tumskey. Deputy Cavanaugh asked her

They Are Kicking.

The residents on Liliha street are
complaining of the bad service OF
the Government Electric Lights
n,akai of School street. There is a
light near the corner OF Liliha and
King streets, one at the corner Of
School and Liliha and one on Liliha
opposite the Fisher premises and
halfway between the two lights
mentioned.
During the past few weeks the light
on Liliha street has been shut of at
about 10 o'clock every evening to
the great annoyance Of the resi-
dents who have been obliged to
plod through the inch deep mud in
general darkness only cleaning an
occasional spark of light from the
lights on the corners, which seem to
be privileged.
Will the Government electrician
kindly look into the matter, before
some citizens get stuck in the mud
and kick over the traces of super
natural patience.

Defeated Doubly

With reference to Hawaiian annex
alton there is a better prospect than
there has been at any time since the
Administration first preached the
question. 1t seems now that the
treaty will be defeated in spite OF
all that is advocates can do, and
that the United States will escape
the greatest danger that has con-
fronted them for a generation. If
the scheme is defeated, we belive
that the present government Of Ha-
wall will be overthrown within a
year. 1t is not the sort Of govern
ment that the majority of Hawaiiaus
wish, and they have had very little
to do with it.-Norfolk Landmarks.
