Our Christmas was made merry by the
kind re,nemhranceS of our friends. Mr.
C. W. Kendall presented us with pretty
smokers outfit and cabinet, and Mr.. '" T.
Jerkinson gave us handsome scenic PIC
ture: for both Of these tokens we are sin-
cercIy apprecietive. Then our friends IN
Charleston, the Carolina Grocery Company,
knowing our fon6ncss for good smoke,
sent us box of those delightful Moro Bella
cigars. This brand cannot be excelled for
pnre goods; in fact We regard the Moro Bel
Ia the finest nickel cigar on the market, far
superior to many ten-centers. If our fner-
chants would handle this brand We know
their cigar trade would increase and their
customers would derive pleasure from the
smoke. The Carolina Grocery Company

The Late James sherin.

A few of the friends OF the late
private James Sherin, a native OF
Buffalo, New York, and aged 66, at
the date OF his death, desire the in
dependent to publish his record as a
member OF the National Guard Of

may be removed from the pauper's

passed away soldiers.
1t may first be repeated that he
fought through the Civil War under
General Burnside in the 18th Rhode
Island Regiment. He enlisted in Co.
B., N. @. H. in 1898 and remained in
the company receiving annually
honorable discharges with such COM

with such endorsements his late
comrades Of company B should take
some interest in the matter.

STAR--GAZING.

The Leonids reminded us last
night OF minority stockholders-they
were out OF sight. Many learned gen
tlemen aud ladies of the city proved
the earnestuess with which they con-
duct their studies in astronomy. The
main points from which the Leonids
could be seen were visited by star
gazers during the night aud most OF
them adopted positions which en-
abled them to see the skies without
standing up aud "rubber-necking."
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-11-15

We hope the astronomers and
scientists will arrange with the Leo
nides to come along once year.
Waiting for 33 years is rather a
hardship. Some of the old "boys''
of last night won't be around except
on star and the young boys will
certainly not be travelling with the
girls of last night. They would be
married to them and then star
gazing at Leonides with the other
fellows wife.

The records received here show
that the observatory was over

men told their wives that they
were at Punahou watching Leonides.
112l wives gave the same excuse and
described the color and cut of the
falling stars = boys and girls made
EXCUSES for coming home at daylight

they had been star-gazing, and the

There were remarks at breakfast
tables in prominent circles which in
dicated that star-gazing every thirty

business altogether approved OF by
men, women and children who are
in partnership here and are not
hanging on to the LeoDides.

WAS NEVER \ FIT RATION.
Opinion of DIR. willard to the Canned
Roast Beef, So Called.

Or. William c. Willard, surgeon ma jor
Of the First Illinois, testified that in
Cuba the health of his command was
good up to July p. then the sick cali
began to increase very rapidly and by
the 2Sth or 29th il was as high as 300
per day. In my judgment this sick
ness was due to a combination of cir
cumstances, of which the condition of
the canned roast beef was one. but not
the only one. The refrigerated beef.
when delivered promptly, was good and
wholesome. Otherw iSe il quickly became
tainted and unfit for usa. l had no oc-
casion to believe that it had been
treated with chemicals. Canned roast
beef. so-CaIIed, was never a fit ration
in my opinion. and it was especially
unfit for men in the condition OF the
troops coming back from Cuba"
Replying to questions from Major Lee
Dr. Willard said: The meat itself had
ii bleached appearance and was very
tough and stringy. I do not recall any
other brand except ArmOur's.

it is a good ration under any circum-

In reply to General Davis the witness
stated that after the second week in
Cuba the mems power of digestion was
impaired by many circumstances and
care was necessary in eating any kind
of food.
Oliver 4. Olson, quartermaster and
acting commissary of the First Illinois
volunteers, testified that during the
voyage to Cuba the only meat ration
was canned roast beef. the complaint
against which was that il was unpaIat-
able. The witness found one case in
which the cans were swollen and they
were thrown overheard. Aside from
this case none Of the meat vas bad not

He Butchers His Five Children, the Old
est.of Whom Is but 12.

Hutchison. Kan. March 2l.-An afro
cious crime was revealed here yesterday
when the coroner and his assistants re-
moved the dead bodies Of five little chill
dren from the house occupied by John
Moore. which burned at an early hour.
a coroner's jury investigated the case
and in accordance with the jury's ver-
dict Moore, the father of the dead chill
d-en. was arrested on a charge Of muir
der. The coroner's autopsy developed
convincing evidence of an awful crime.
The skull of each child was deeply in
dented. and from the dents long factures
extended. All but one of the children
had been stabbed in the neck. The
throat of the little 3-year-old. a pretty
boy. had been slashed so deep that the
spina! column had been severed.
When Moore was called before the
corOner's jury to testify he pretended
to believe that an exploding lamp had
caused the fire and that his children had
met death in the flames. The oldest
child is but II.

In answer TO questions of Major Lee
the witness corroboTated the testimony
Of DR.. Willard regarding the appear
ance OF the canned roast beef when
