Obituary.

Lyman Kelly passed to rest last
Thursday night at the home of VIM.
Berg. During the day he had been to
work and was enjoying his usual
health, but inthe evening he felt ill
and after retiring for the night no one
knows whether he suffered or not, but
before the first rays of dawn his spirit
had taken it's flight leaving the cold
form of clay. His remains were
brought to his home south of town
where his relatives and friends met
and paid him the last token of respect
and wept over the sweet memories of
the past and over the final separation
and endless parting from earthly
scenes. He was in his 5Sth year, was
strong and rugged for one of his years.
He was born in Barber county West
Virginia. He was married in 1860 and
was the father of nine children, five of
them living to mourn his departure.
His wife preceded him and sleeps in
peace. He has been resident of
the county for many years and has
wide acquaintance. He was man of
spotless character and kind and con-
siderate. The children will miss the
tender care and indulgence of a
patient father and his friends and
neighbors will mourn the loss of one
they honor and esteem. The funeral
was conducted from the home by Rev.
McSparen of the Christian church and
his remains rest in peace and quiet in
Maple Grove cemetery.

THE
NEW YORK WORLD,
THRICE.A-WEEK EDITION.
PRACTICALLY A DAILY AT THE
PRICE OF WEEKLY.

The striking and important events
of the last year have established the
overwhelming value of TIE THRICE A.
WEEK WORLD to every reader. For an
almost nominal sum it has kept its
subscribers informed of the progre IS
of all our wars and, moreover, has re-
ported them as promptly and fully as
if it we're daily. With our inter
ests still extending throughout the
worlt. with our troops operating in
The Philippines, and the great Presi
entail campaign, too, at hand, its
vaa" is turtle, increased.
The motto of the TRICE WEEK
World is improvement. 1t strives
each Year to be better than it was the
year before, and the public conf
dence in it ia shown by the fact that
it now clrculates more than twice as
many papers every week as any other
newspapep, not a daily, published 10
America.
We offer this uuequalea newspaper
and the KENrUoKIAN together one
year for 81 So

All Lines Between Boston and
Chicago to go Into Consolida-

Cleveland, o, May S.-The Lead
er says: According to high official
of the Vanderbilt lines in this city
the details of a big railroad trust,
which will include all the lines be-
tween Boston and Chicago are now
being worked out and the consolida-
ton may be completed within the
next few weeks.
1t is not the purpose to have all
the lines under the same manage
ment exactly, but apportion them
among the Pennsylvania and Van
derbilt interests and the Baltimore
and Ohio company when it has been
recognized, giving each the system
of lines it can use to the best adj
vantage.
The purpose for the consolidation
is said to be to prevent rate cutting
and accomplish practically what
the Joint Traffic association was or
Canized to do.

Inquiry Board Makes a Report
Long to be Remembered-No
Leaders For Brave Men.

New York, May 9.-To the breasts
of Col. Wallace A. Downs, Lieut..
Col. Fl. Smith, and Maj. John H.
White of the Seventy-frs Regi-
ment, National Guards of the State
of New York, court of inquiry has
pinned badges of disgrace.
Downs and Whittle have avoided
some of the punishment by resign
ing. Downs left the regiment last
November, and Whittle got out last
week. Smith remained to face the
"bouncing board, as the board of
examination is Familiarity known.
1t is a terrible arraignment, that
the board of inquiry, composed it.
self of volunteer officers, presents
against three skulkers, who hid be-
hind blankets and behinds trees
and refused to take their men into
action, although peremptorily so
ordered by their commanding Of
ficer.
The court, which was convened
on December 81, 1898, made public
the evidence laid before it, together
with its findings, opinions and rec
concentrations.
The reports show that there
were men in the ranks whose brav-
cry can not be questioned, who
pleaded to be taken into action, but
there were no officers TO lead them.
There is indisputable proof that
these officers feared the Spanish bull |
lets, and as Gov. Roosevelt says:
ION no possible theory can Col.
Downs conduct be justified. If his
men had behaved badly there would |
have been poor excuse for it, but
his men did not.
"SGai Whittle retired to the rear
and stayed there until dark, when
he came forward with Col Downs.
Lieut. Col. Smith stayed as ig- |
nobly inactive as his chief.

A FALSE REPoRT.

An evening paper yesterday pub
lished report of an important case
which was settled in the District
Court yesterday morning, bristling
with false and misleading state
ments.
The case referred to is the Repub-
lie vs. Solomon, charged with secret
ing woman, alleged to be afflicted
with leprosy. The paper in ques-
tiou states that "the defendant plead
guilty, but promised if sentence was
deferred to to-day, to produce the
woman" That the Judge stated
that "the woman was pronounced
leper by DR.. Alvarez" or rather he
says she was, but no official record
was preserved.
The paper also states that "the
verdict created a slight breeze in
the courtroom. 1t was hard for
some to understand. Both the ac-
cused and the Marshal appeared
surprised for moment"
In case like this one, which has
gained considerab notice, and is of
vital Importance to everybody, no
newspaper should be allowed to
twist and twirl the simple facts
without correction, and for the pur-
pose of backing" up the attitude
adopted by an influential Govern
ment official in this matter.
Solomon did not plead guilty at
any time. On the contrary he per-
sistently proclaimed his innocence.
DR. Alvarez's name was not even
mentioned during the trial, and the
woman was never pronounced a
leper" by any competent person or
board.
There was no breeze or astonisE-
ment when Solomon was acquitted.
Even the Marshal who seems to
have taken a special interest in the
case had reasons to expect the deci-
sion of Judge Wilcox. Solomon is
neither a police officer nor an agent
of the Board of Health and no pos
sible reason could be advanced why
he should be obliged to assist the
authorities in producing an alleged
leper to whom he is not married nor
related by ties of blood.

THE IMTRIcAcIEs OF Law

If laymen may quote the adage,
ga house divided against itself can
not stand," in the face of our Su-
preme Court, then we have right
to believe that the three justices 8
now occupying our "Woolsack"
must tumble down from their perch
when the United States takes us
paternally in hand in partnership
or some other way.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-01-19

Day by day in our courts of law,
in every line of administration of
our government as well as in the
Interpretation of the laws, is found
chaos where order should have pre-
vailed. In business affairs there is
an unsettled condition owing to
tariff complications which may en-
sue. In shipping circles the ques
tion of registration Of vessels is in a
muddle. In the very life of thepros-
perity of the land, the sugar inter
ests. the labor problems are becom-
ing more and more embarrassing in
stead of approaching harmonious
settlement. Apparently the propos-
ed recourse to European contract
laborers is flying dead in the face of
American law and American princi-
pies, and yet owing to our neutral
gender condition we may probably
do as we please until reminded for
chilly that the act is criminal.
