CHAPTER XVI.
Leone's Determination.

Lucia, Countess of Lanswell, stood
alone in the superb drawing-room at
Cawdor. 1t was evening, one of the
brightest in September. Nearly three
months had passed since the fatal mar
riage which had grieved and distressed
her, and now she fondly hoped all her
distress was ended. The decree had
gone forth that the marriage was null
and void; was, in fact, no marriage,
Lord Chandos being under age when it
was contracted. She said to herself
all was null now. True, her son was
in most furious rage, and he had
gone to consult half the lawyers in
London, but she did not care for that;
he was sure to rage and rave; he was
a spoiled child, who never in his life
had been contradicted or thwarted.
The more angry he was the better; she
knew by experience the hotter the fire
Ile more quickly it burns away Had
he been cool, calm, collected and silent
she would have dreaded the after con-
sequences.
HE will exhaust himself with flu
TiOus words" she said to herself with
a slow smile. when he has done
that, all danger is over"
She had smiled when she heard of
his rapid Journeys, his fierce denun-
Citations, his violent invectives, his re-
peated oaths that no power on earth
should take him from his young wife
She had smiled when the earl, whose
conscience was more tender than her
own, had said over and over again that
it was a terrible thing to set aside a
marriage to call a religious ceremony
null and void He would not have
done it himself, but my lady had firm
nerves and a will of IRON nothing
daunted her. She had laughed at his
persuasions and arguments. She told
him the day would come on which he
would thank Heaven that the honor of
his name and race had been saved from
destruction. My lady was triumphant
Knowing her son was spending his
whole time in these journeys, she had
requested Mr.. Sewell himself to go to
the pretty little villa at Richmond to
see the young wife himself, and tell
her the truth about the marriage; to
speak what she was pleased to call
plain English with her; to tell her that
in the eyes of the law and of all hon
est, honorable men she was not his
wife; that every hour she called her.
self by his name, or lived under his
roof added to her disgrace and in
creased her shame.
'You can tell her," said my lady,
with ill-concealed contempt, chat next
June he will be twenty-one, and then
he can please himself; he can remarry
her if he will; no one then will have

THE "ROXANE.
Latest in Hats is a Becoming and In
expensive Mass of Lace Fri1ls.

Just about June, the lace hat, which
in Paris is called the "Roxane," will
begin to make it's influence felt. Any
woman who knows anything of style
and dainty needlework can make her
own Roxane by giving becoming
shape of white wire, covered with
coarse muslin, and on this filling deep
cream Mechlin that comes at fifteen
and twenty cents a yard by way of the
bargain counter. All she need do
when the hat becomes a fluffy mass Of
lace frills is to wreathe pale pink or
mauve carnations, with bows of black
velvet ribbon, around the crown, and
in such an inexpensive piece of head
gear she is fit to appear before a
queen. Besides the "Roxane," they
are twisting scarfs of lace around
straw crowns, lining brims with lace
and making big filmy rosettes of lace.
Lace seems to be the natural accom-
paniment to all the white muslin and
colored dimity gowns, and every wo-
man will possess at least one lace
shirt front to wear with her spring
coat. lace shirt front is made by
gathering row on row of lace either in
straight, horizontal lines, or semi-cir-
cles, across the bust so that from chin
to waist this soft front tufts out be-
tween the open edges of the coat. At
the chin the rows Of lace are most
narrow, growing steadily wider toward
the waist, and then the high collar,
with points behind the ears, is covered
with the narrowest possible gathering
of lace.
There certainly is nothing which is
having such a rage at present as the
tulle hat, and especially the black tulle
I cannot go out on Fifth avenue
without meeting several hundred OF
them, and they are so pretty and
fetching that one does not tire of them
by seeing so many. But, dear me, the
price charged for these same little
hats is something to make one gasp,
and all because they are the raging
fancy of the hour, and not at all be-
cause they cost much to make. But
the clever wOman-and she is so nu-
merOus-can make her own tulle hat
all by herself and it will look just as
smart and F'renchy as if one of the
numerous "Estelles" or "Louises" or
"Lisettes,' who show their wares in
wonderful white and gold windows.
First, we must get a wire frame,
black if a black hat is to be made,
and be sure to get one of the pretty
trrhan shaDps. Then buy wards and
yards of finest black or colored tulle
and commence to puff and shir and
fold it on. No other trimming is
used on the really fashionable tulle
hats excepting a mass of plumy para
disc tails. There are a dozen different

many other reasons it is conjectured
that they descended from the japanese
sh1pWrecked crews who, being without
means at hand with which to return to
their country, took to the mountains
inland from the west coast of Luzon.
Their conversion to Christianity mas
proved to be an impossible task. Ira
ditional foes of the Tinguianes are
their neighbors, the Guinaanes.
And beyond all of these are the Who'll
ly uncivilized Gaddanes. II have
never heard" writes Mr.. Foreman,
that any attempt has been made to
subdue them. They have fine phys
ical bearing; wear the hair down 10
the shoulders; are of a very dark color
and feed chiefly on roots, mountain
rice, game, fruits and fish" They are
the most aggressive of these northern
nomads, and we read that it is the
custom of the young men about to mar
ry to vie with each other in present
ing to the sires of their future brides
all the scalps they are able to take
from their enemies as proof of their
manliness and courage. The arms
used by the Gaddanes are frightful
weapons long lances with tridented
tips, and arrows carrying at the point
two rows Of teeth, made out of flint
or sea shells.
The Ibanacs, inhabiting the extreme
north of Luzon, are domesticated ma
tives, some of whom have almost black
skins.
Between the western coast and the
central cordillera, north of the Igor
rotes, are in addition to the savages
mentioned, the Calingis, the Itetap-
anes, the Calauas, and the Apayaos; on
or near the eastern coast, and north
of the Tagalog territory, are the Ibil-
aos, the Ilongotes, the Ifugaos and The
Negritos called Dumagas.
For over two centuries and a half
Mussulman war junks (from the Sulu
islands and Mindanao) ravaged every
coast of the colony. Not single peo-
pied island was spared. Thousands of
the inhabitants were murdered, while
others were carried into slavery for
years. Villages were sacked; The
churches were looted, local trade was
intercepted, the natives subject to
Spain were driven into the high lands
and many even dared not risk their
lives and goods near the coasts. The
Mohammedans of Sulu are robust, of
medium height, often Of dusky
bronze color, piercing eyes, low fore
head, lank hair, which is dressed as a
chignon and hangs down the back Of
the neck. The body is agile, the
whole movement is rapid, and they
have wonderful power of holding the
breath under water. They are of
quick perception, audacious, extremely
sober, ready to promise everything and
do nothing, vindictive and highly sus-
picious of a strangers intentions.
They are very long-suffering in adver-
sity, hesitating in attack and the
bravest of the brave in defense. They
disdain work as degrading and only a
fit occupation for slaves, while warfare
is to their minds an honorable calling
Every male over sixteen years of Ige
has to carry at lest one lighting wea-
pom at all times and consider himself
enrolled in military service.

LET Us BE JUST.

Deputy Marshal Chillingworth de-
nounces as false and unwarranted
the story told in the Advertiser this
morning in regard to hoodlumism
at Thomas Square, and stamps the
horrible tale as piece Of yellow
journalism.
The housekeeping officer admits
that there are places in Honolulu
and the suburbs where hoodlums
gather, and make life nuisance to
the police as we'll as to the public
In regard to the running OF tho
band stand and the lights by hood
lums full explanation is given.
After a thorough investigation it
was fully demonstrated that the boy
engaged to have the lights burn
ing at the baud stand, made mess
Of the job, broke an arm of the gas
containers and got severely scorched
in his face and on his hands. This
is not the first time that an accident
has occurred from the use OF that
kind OF gas and it is not wise OF the
company to throw the blame on the
hoodlums.
There are hoodlums in many places
of the town and there are police Of
ficers patrolling the roads day and
night. We don't say that this is
peaceful town but we want to do
justice to the hard-worked police
and even to the birching-needing
hoodlums.'

BASE INGRATITUDE.

The INDEPENDENT is horribly anus
ed at the antics of certain section
of the Earnest Patriot" wing OF the
annexationists in connection with
the celebration Of Annexation Day.
We think that most of these ex-
tremely rabid patriots arrived here
after the flag had been hoisted and
consequently have no part or parcel
in the glorious and immortal revo-
lutions which thrust Dole on to a
throne, placed halo OF glory over
the head of "ripe pear" Stevens,
made Cooper maid of all work,
or rather Minister OF all trades, in
the Palace, and humbled Mr.. Sewall
from Minister Plenipotentiary to a
Special Agent and, in a word, set
everybody by the ears and turned
the Supreme Court upside down so
that the people who live under the
American flag ask, "Cui Bonos We
have the flag, but have we anything
else save the honor and the protec-
ton its symbol conveyss" If the
Executive, to bungle out of di-
lemma and to extricate themselves
from position in which the Scylla
and Charybdis Of popular indigna-
ton await them, however, they may
steer, generously loan to the public
its own property, the ex-throne
room or legislative hall, for dance
in celebration of the hosting OF the
flag over country, acquired by mis-
representation and unfair means,
they should be praised and not
blamed. 1t is not long ago since
Dole was the hero of the annexa-
tionists and the people were ready to
raise granite statue to his honor in

"Union" Square, but disunion is rife
in the annexationist ranks, and there
are none so poor IS to do him honor.
He fought, IL he did not bleed, for
them and now they throw him
away like one of the useless shoes Of
the pilgrims to the volcano. Such
is gratitude in the tropics. Whyl
even the Hawaiisns, who have so
much to forgive him for his treach-
cry to them, treat him with more
respect and reverence than the men
whom he led to dishonorable VIC
tory. Sink your discussions, brother
compatriots, and make your 18th Of
August celebration an enjoyable
one, perhaps, even the Hawaiians
may forgive and assist you.

TOPICS or THE DAY.

1t is rather satisfactory to learn
from the Board OF Health's expert
ments that sulphur Stays the bubo-
mic plague bacilli and such like dis
ease germs, and to ascertain the fact
that Formolin is practically useless
as disinfectant. We now know
where we stand, and although the
use of sulphur is followed by certain
deleterious effects on certain articles
yet it should be cheap here where
Pele maintains huge factory con-
stantly at work. The precaution
taken by the Board Of Health in thus
experimenting is worthy of praise,
for it would have been decidedly un-
pleasant 10 the community to have
had thousand tons OF freight full
of bacilli thrown on to the town
after being "disinfected" by Formo-
lin or some other new tangled inven-
ton. Simplest remedies are often
the best, so let us stick to Sulphur
and Reynolds.

The INDEPENDENT becomes a-weary
in complaining about the gross mis-
conduct of the boys and young
hoodlums around our public squares
and on the streets Of an evening.
This is growing evil that in the in
tere5ts OF the community must be
suppressed at once either by the pc.
lioe, or; if thoy arc ua willing or in
competent, by a vigilance commit
tee of the citizens. The organiza-
ton known as the Citizens Guard
contains sufficient number of mem
bers with discretion enough to ad.
minister salutary punishment with
out transgressing too much the
limits of the law. The safety OF So
cial life demands that these larri-
kins be forcibly suppressed before
they run the town. These plaques
like disease germs tester and grow
with immunity until the whole body
political and social is diseased until
death. Arrest the brutes by whole
sale and let them receive something
more than lecture from Judge
Wilcox, the upright and Just Judge.
We wonder whether the Tax AS
SCISSOR is raising the assessments on
the wealthy land owners and sugar
planters in the same proportion as
he is doing with the poor and the
merely moderately comfortable in
this worlds lands and goods. And
we wonder also what object he has
in view in amassing money in an
already very comfortably lined
treasury, containing about million
OF dollars, which distributed in cir
culation would be very useful to the
general public just now, and espe-
cially to those interested in the de-
velopment of our Industries" We
cannot blame any subordinate pub
lie official for doing his duty, as Mr..
Shaw invariably attempts to do, but
there is a very strong grumble OF
complaint rumbling around at this
marvellous increase in assessments of
realty reaching, in some instances,
as we are informed, to tripling
and quadrupling OF values over the
last assessment. 1t must be admit
ted that values have, or ought to
have, risen considerably since the
boistiug OF the flag, but is this rise
bona fde or merely fictitious and
speculative. II the latter, then the
assessor is lending himself to the
preparation Of fraud by mislead-
ing strangers who buy on the assess
able value, and the fall, when one
comes, should it ever come, will be
doubly disastrous to the purchasers
OF real estate, Under the English
Income tax laws it is not unusual

which they set upon the institution is per-

Ace IN TILE SENATE

From the Washington Post
Four of the oldest men in the senate sit
side by side on the front row. They are:
Pettus, of Alabama, who is rs years old;
Cockrell, of Missouri, Who is So; Vest also
Of Missouri, who is verglng on 70, and Nor
gan, of Alabama, who will be "a next June.
Age has dealt lightly with these four old
men, with the exception of Senator Vest,
who is beginning to give evidence of the
weight of three score years and ten upon
his diminutive form. Pettus is wonderfully
we'll preserved. He is known as the Con-
fucius of the senate, because he looks so
wise and is so deliberate in his talk.
Cockrell is one of the hardest workers in
the seante, and his stant watchfulness
while bills are being considered is proverb-
ial. Vest used to be one of the greatest
orators and debaters in the body, but of
late he has participated but little in the
proceedings. Morgan is one of the wise
men of the senate. He knows everything
about everything. When he was boy and
books were scarce he used to train his
memory by learning to repeat each volume,
a chapter at a time. His parents wanted
him to become minister, but he drifted
of tae few men in the senate who mas the
really broad gauge of a statesman.
Very few of the old men in the senate
show their age. No one would ever sus-
pect that Platt, of Connecticut, is p, or
that Culom, of Illinois, was 70 last No
yember. Senator Hawley, of Connecticut,
is 70; Gear, of Iowa, will be IS next April,
and Hoar, of Massachusetts, is 70. Senator
Teller is still vigorous, with his 10Th birth
day rapidly approaching, and Frye is a re-
markedly young man for the weight of
nearly 70 ears. Jones, of Nevada, is 60,
while his colleague, Stewart, is r.
Senator Bate, of Tennessee, like the late
Senator Harris, will not disclose his age.
He must be 20 or thereabouts, for he was
a soldier in the Mexican war, over half a
century ago.
