Two men-one old and emaciated,
carrying a native drum the other young
and well fed, Enthusiastically gowned with
an overskirt of colored handkerchiefs,
and a multitude of bells which jaugle
noisily at his slightest movement; long,
ragged hair; altogether a hideous figure.
The drummer begins a weird tomtom-
ing and the other man an incantation.
Then he extends a ''~supra''-a bamboo
tray used by all natives-on which any
one who pleases places a large handful
of rice and the same quantity of grain.
The two ingredients are thoroughly
amalgamated, so that it would in the
ordinary way take hours to separate
them.
Now the fantastic MAJ with his tray
begins. lie turns round slowly, gradu-
ally quickenins his pace (the drummer
also keeping time). faster and faster in
o giddy vortex, the tlay at times almost
out of his hands, yet So cleverly handled
that not a grain falls out. 1t is very
trying to watch, but in a couple of
minutes both stop simultaneously, and
the an shows to the wondering spec
tators w. ! little heaps-one of rice and
the other grain-at different ends Of the
tray, which in his sickening gyrations
he has been able to separate by some
extraordinary NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

John C. Sheehan, one of the Tam
many chieftains, is opposed to expan-
sion. Croker. the head and front of
Tammany and of the New York de-
mocracy. pretends to be an expansion
list. Perhaps he takes this ground SO
as to be able to fight Bryan with more
success than he expected to get by hit
ting him on the silver issue. The poor
old democracy is. at all events, torn
up as badly on expansion as it is on the
finance issue. The next democratic
national convention stands a chance to
be even more volcanic than that of 1896
was. The democracy, however, will
undoubtedly be weaker next year than
it was three years ago. 1t will antago-
nize the majority of the people on two
i~ssues-silver and eXpansion-instead
of on only the first of these as in 1896.
That party can not make as strong a
fight IS it did then. Its record as an
obstructionist of the government in the
early days of the Spanish war and as
an impeachment after the war was over,
through it's efforts to defeat the treaty,
will tell effectively against it in the
anvas Neither Bryan nor anybody
else who gets the democratic nominal
ton in 1900 will be formidable enough
to cause any such scare throughout the
country as Bryan did in lS96.-Globe-

Aggressive Spirit and Man of Great

DIR. John Dewey, the University EX-
tension lecturere, who will take charge
of the work here inaugerate ted by Pro-
fessor ROlfe last spring, is a man of
about As, one of the most famous edu-
Gators of the middle northwest and an
aggressive and successful worker in his
profession.
and the arrangement of program will
be held at-the High school building
Monday evening. Judge W. F. Frear
will preside. There will be talks by
the lecturer, by Professor Rolfe, Minis
ter Mott-Smith, Mr.. Townsend and
others. Following this the schedule OF
meetings and lecturers will be taken
up.
DR.. Dewey is described as most en-
ergetic man. He is possessed of won
derful executive ability and is just the
man to set up a structure already start
ed and push it forward. The work of
Professor Rolfe becomes a most eX-
cellent and substantial foundation, rem
dering less difficult the shaping of a
permanent organization.
1t is purposed to make the University
Extension class permanent here. All
students, particularly of literature, con-
slider it most important 1t is intended
to have one or more of the very best
lecturers visit the city each summer.
Besides it is expected that the members
will ultimately be able to take up the
work and carry it forward.
The University lectures will have
continuance with the summer school,
The program of the latter will be so
shaped that students will have the OPP
portunity of hearing DR.. Dewey on each
occasion. This will be an unusual priv
ilege, particularly to country teachers

JUDGE WILCOX so DECLARES IL
SHEE.
Court Rules That Proxy Marriage in
China Was Legal and That Little
Woman Has Two Husbands

In the police court yesterday after
noon Judge Wilcox found Ii Shee, Chi
nese woman, guilty of polygamy and
sentenced her to be imprisoned for one
month and to pay a fine of 800.
Twelve witnesses were examined. All
of those for the prosecution testified as
to the guilt of the woman. There was
strong defense. The final clash was
in whether or not Hawaiian law would
recognize a marriage by proxy solem-
nized in China. The court decided that
Ii would.
The case is a peculiar one, and on that
account the court sentence was not as
severe as 1t might have been. There
will be an appeal, and undoubtedly side
features will grow out of it, In the
meanwhile the case is the one topic of
gossip throughout the Chinese colony.
Many of the most prominent Mongo-
lians are greatly worked up over 1t.
As previously stated the woman was
married in China to man in Honolulu.
1t seems that the laws of the empire do
not require that the groom be present
at such a ceremony On the other hand
any other man or almost any sort of
dummy may be used to impersonate the
happy lord of the occasion. In this
case 1t is claimed that rooster was
used, and the bride made her marital
vows to the bird, as though it were her
future husband.
Coming to Honolulu she heard that
the man she had married or promised
to marry, as the case may be, lad a
wife already. She forthwith refused tn
meet him and married another. Hence
the arrest and trial for polygamy.
