MARTIAL Law AT HONOLULU

MARTIAL Law AT HONOLULU
a dispatch from Honolulu dated DC
tober 9Th says: This community was
treated last night to a small reign of
military terror. Yesterday part of the
troops here were paid of, A large
numDer were given leave from camp "
spend their money. the first chance
many OF them have had since they ar
rived.
For fear they could not stand pros
ptrity, provost guard of cavalry and
i,faotry was mounted down town to
preserve order.
The provost guard got drunk. The
,uard was under commend of Lieut..
Wheelock. Of the first New York vol
unteers. Ii was the First thing that
was in any wise like active military
duty ne had had to perform since ne
Came here. he got his friend, Lieut..
Merriam, o son of Mej Gen. Merriam,
"a ada to Brig. Gen. King, to help
hin pcrform it.
IL. 20 got drunk together, and
abe, o'clock they decided to de-
clare Jartial law. They gave orders TO
the Z ID under them to arrest every
body. Soldiers who did not belong to
the provost guard, but were on leave,
were halted and ordered to join the
guard. Citizens were held up aud
marched up and down the street or
were chased to places of safety. Two
mon sitting on big box near the wa
ter front were charged on by one OF
the mouuted officers. To save them
selves Que ran aboard steamer at
the wharf and the other got into the
box he had been sitting on. Wheelock
Immediately posted one Of the soldiers
at the gang-plank OF the steamer TO
keep the one man aboard, and ordered
another soldier 10 sit on the box 10
keep the other man in it.
1t was l O'Clock before Gen. King
was warned. He sent down an adju-
tant, who put an end to the trouble.
Merriam is ordinarily a fine young
fellow. He is in the artillery. Wheel
ock is given to staggering. Scores OF
citizens who were sent home by Mer-
rism actually believed martial law hac
been declared. There has been ne
court-martiAl and none will take place.

Visitors From Space.

Whatever be their origin, it would
seem that these solid bodies (meteorites)
are hurtling through space at velocities
which may be anything between 10 and
40 miles a second If they come near
enough to this earth to be attracted by
it, their course is changed, and present
ly they enter our atmosphere. The re-
suit is sudden check to their speed,
owing to the intense resistance and fric-
ton engendered by contact with the air
PARTICLES.
What happens may be likened to the
sudden application Of the wooden brake
block to the rapidly moving wheel Of
an express train. Heat is generated in
exchange for motion, and the trail of
sparks from the checked wheel is rep
resented in the checked meteorite by a
luminous trail. We commonly call it a
shooting star, and if it's mass be small
it is possibly altogether dissipated III
heat and gas. or it may ultimately
find it's way to our earth as dust. Such
"meteoric dust has been found on the
eternal snow Of mountains, where dust
of the ordinary type would be impossi-
bic. If, on the other hand, the mass Of
matter be large, its surface only will
be affected by the sudden heat gener-
atcd and it may fall to the ground en-
tire or possibly explode and be scattered
III fragments over wide area. Cham

He Got the Pin.

A good many people still believe in
the little superstition about seeing a
pin and picking it up 1t makes some
of them decidedly uncomfortable when
they pass pin by, and even if expe-
rience has taught them that there is
nothing to be gained by scooping up the
pointed bit of wire they still dive for
one whenever they see it.
An aged man was toddling across
Payne avenue at its junction with Will
son some time ago when between the
street car rails at the very center of the
curve he noticed pin. It was bright
pin, and it caught his rather enfeebled
gaze at once Being superstitious old
gentleman, he determined to secure that
pin With considerable effort he man
aged to bend over, when, just as his
trembling fingers closed upon it, with
a whoop and a roar cable car came
swinging around the curve at the usual
terrifying rate. The old man went one
way, his cane and glasses and hat went
the other They rushed to him and
picked him up. He was badly bruised,
and the ambulance was called. AS they
were lifting him into it somebody no.
ticed something shining between his
clinched fingers
1t was the pin. Cleveland Plain

5000, 900 acres.

Chamberlain and the puritan Maid"

A Baltimore woman, in The Sun Of
that city, tells this story of Joseph
Chamberlain when he was in Washing
ton in 1887:
"He was big, burly man, caring so
little for his appearance that at one OF
the most fashionable dinners of the sea-
son his cravat got turned to almost I'M
der his ear and his shirt stud became
unfastened, and he sat calmly oblivious
to either incident His brains and charm
in conversation won him friends wher-
ever he went. One day he called on a
lady who happened to be giving girls
luncheon. She went out at once to see
him, and laughingly said if he did not
mind being the only man present she
would be delighted if he would come
i. the dining room and take the vacant
place of one of her young friends who
had not come.
HE was not afraid to face lot of
American beauties, so he accepted
gayly, and the vacant place happened
to be next that of Miss Endicott, daugh-
ter of Secretary of War William @. En-
dicott Of Massachusetts, a dovelike,
slender girl, one of the greatest bellies
of the day The outcome of this was
the marriage of the English statesman
and the Puritan maid, as she was
often called, his neighbor at an enter
tainment to which he had only been
hidden by that fate which shapes our
ends, rough hew them as we will. {"

Gratitude I'm Women.

Are feelings Of gratitude absent in
women? That clever gentleman who
does the Private Diary in The Corn
hill Magazine is not quite satisfied upon
the subject This is his way of putting
it: AS gratitude depends upon imagi-
nation, it may well be that women, hav-
ing less imagination than men, are less
grateful The doctor tod me 'intermit-
tent heart is a not uncommon female
ailment. To sugar the pill, however,
the diarist says: ''In defense of the ma
ligned sex should like to record case
of gratitude in a woman that left me a
