CURIOUS LETTERS
Received by the Judiciary
Department.
Samples OF Many Inquiries OF S m
i'sr KIND Which Toks Time
In Answ s'ing.

Many curious letters are received and
filed in the clerks Office of the Judi
ciary Department in the course of q
year, the answering of which takes IN
much time in looking over the records
yet they are invariably replied to and
the required information furnished il
possible. Here Is one received last
week addressed to Henry Smith by
an attorney in Stockton, Calf:
Dear Sir: have been Informed
that one Charles s. Buckley and Abbie
G.. Dexter were married in your city
some twenty or thirty years ago or per,
haps longer. 1t Is now a material mat.

it is true. An estate depends upon Il
and | am anxious to know. Kindly ex'
anime your marriage and divorce rec
ords for any proceedings in either
wherein appears the name of Charles
$. Buckley. If you find any send me a
certified copy of any marriage certifi
cate or of decree of divorce in which
said Buckley was a party"
Now that was long time ago,
said Henry Smith yesterday, and it Is
no easy task to go over the old records
No such names are on the books of the
Office. The parties might have beer
married here under other names. Sucl
things do happen occasionally. Yol
may publish the letter If you wish, al
somebody may see 1t and be able t
give the required information"
Here is another letter received il
yesterdays mail from Houston, Texas
Dear Sir: VIII you please inform
me If the estate of NJ. l.. Preston ha!
been administered on in your court. II,
was living in 1860. Thanking you il
advance. etc"
Now the presumption from that let
ter is that NJ. l.. Preston was in Homo
lulu thirty-nine years ago and dice
here" said Mr.. Smith. Il searched
the records and the nearest | could fine
to the name was that of one Preston
Cummings, who died in 1860 and who's,
estate was administered on here. 1

&cRoeA Of Religious @RougRf.
BY w. X. AZBILL,

He himself admits, that the cruciix
ion of Christ is too sacred for such
representation of il, but thinks that
the life of Nehemiah might be sue.
cessfully presented.
We all recognize what might be
called the truth Of fiction; that is, the
separate bits of real experiences
which are woven by novelists into
connected stories. But we rarely
forget, that the stories thus produced
are fictitious. At rare moments of
striking resemblance to real life, we
forget and are touched and moved
till the thought returns that it is only
a made.up story, when emotion dies.
Thus it is with all acting. We carry
through the play the consciousness
that it is mere acting; that the actors
neither love nor hate, nor suffer nor
cry, nor enjoy nor laugh as they are
pretending to. There is something
of untruth in it. All this would be
felt most deeply by all persons wit.
Messing presentations of Bible scenes
and situations; and this conscious.
ness would result in mixed emotions
harmful to reverence for the Scrip
lures. Judging by what we see in
the daily life of many about US, there
would be no lack of actors who would
"play the Devil successfully. The
discussion on ritual continues to
occupy much space in the religious
papers. The indications are that the
high church and low church parties,
have come to wider parting of the
ways Also that the way of the
ritualists is leading directly towards
Rome.

Bible Scenes on the Stage.

DIR. Gunsaulus, of Chicago, has set
a certain section of the press to re-
cording opinions, as to the propriety
of putting some Of the dramatic stu.
ations of the Bible Stories on the
stageS.and, of course, opinions differ.

What is Ones Supreme Duty.

The newspapers say that Pres.
Diaz gave up his trip to Omaha
because his wife was ill. A friend
who went to Japan a few years
ago in the great interest of soul
winning, turns aside from this
and goes back to the United
States on hearing that his mother
is at the point of death. Another,
whose heart is in the work on the
mission field remains at home by
the bedside of an invalid child.
Thus in the judgment and in the
hearts of most good people, the
homely duties, those we owe to
the members of our households
and our neighbors, are the SUI
preme duties of life.
Rev. A. V. Soares, pastor of
the Portuguese church in Homo
lulu, and Rev. B. K. Baptiste,
pastor of the Portuguese church
in Hilo, report a prosperous year
of Christian work among their
people. 1t is pleasing to note
that their notion of prosperity is
not that of a large increase in
membership, but of the healthy
advance of THE believers in spirit
uality.

"Principle Can be Reserred."
Says the Pacific Commercial ADJ


Says the Pacific Commercial Ad-
SeytiSey:
If an evil must be tolerated. let the ques.
ton Of principle be suspended, and the evil
be made less offensive.
We try to follow the commandment,
"Thou shalt not kill" But we heartilv
approve of killing off the Fllipinos, because
they will not do that which we tell them to
do. We simply resort to practical meth.
DDS to accomplish a certain result. If the
community will urge the executive to act,
we shall mike this evil less intolerable, and
the principle can be reserved as we reserve it
in the case OF wars.
Commenting on report of the
social evil in Pauahi street, the editor
Of the advertiser writes the forego.
ing which, we undertake to say,
shows lack of discrimination be.
tween things widely different, in ad-
dition to its being very bad lesson
in morals.
"Thou shalt not kill" prohibits the
individual from taking the life of his
fellowman. But God, who gave this
precept, authorizes the whole com.
munity to punish murderers. When
the community executes a murderer,
it is no longer we who take his life,
but his maker who commands it to
be done by the whole community. In
case of war, the principle involved is
the same. The civil government is
ordained of God. He requires it to
keep order. The army is but larger
police force, acting under the govern
ment which acts under God. He
takes away the lives which He gave
and which He has right to take
away, in case of justihable war. The
war in the Philippines is as justifabe
as the arrest of disturber of the
peace in our streets. So, in war we do
mt suspend principle; we honor it
There can arise no circumstance
in which man may innocently sus
pend righteous principle. When
Herod was asked for the head of John
the Baptist on charger, he said that
because he had promised anything
that might be asked, he would be
obliged to suspend the evil of killing
and keep the kings promise. Here
he failed to recognize the truth that
the life of an innocent man was not
within the gift of his kingdom. Solo.
mon made like promise once, but
when the request was made known
to him, he decided that it was not
within his power to give, and he re.
fused it. Human life is not within
the gift of a kingdom or government.
God alone can authorize the taking
of life.
Of course there is room here for
mistakes as to whether God approves
of particular war, and all that; but
we are attempting to point out that
we cannot deliberately suspend a
principle of right doing to meet an
emergency without guilt
