much for granted. DR.. Hoffman dis

brief report in which he stated. as a

There were no suspicious cases re-

adopted, and all previous passes to the

that the disease has probably been

The establishment Of the fumigation

at Kaumakapili Church also tended to
allay the fears of the outside populace,
in that the clothes worn by the inspect

The crematory at the quarantine sta
ton will be completed by tomorrow

ness at any time"
The Minister expressed wish that
all the sores of the city which have
been supplying medicines and supplies
Of all kinds during the present emer-
gency. send In their bills in order that
they can be checked by the inspectors
who have been ordering them since the
commencement of the plague.
George r. Carter. who is at present
assisting Dr. Pratt in the establish
ment of the fumigating station, has
perfected plans by which he can check
all bills which have been incurred by
the work In the quarantine district.
He has already opened a set OF books
at the Inspectors Headquarters and
win check of every item of expense in
Cured. Minister Cooper has desired
that a system in accounts he establish
ed in order that repetition Of the
tangie OF affairs during the cholera
days. be avoided. and Mr.. Carriers

Views of Two Judges.

Two Pennsylvania judges have re-
Gently made comments in passing
sentence on prisoners, that are at
tracing considerable attention
throughout the state. Judge Robert
s. Frazer, of Allegheny, had before
him culprit who had been convicted
of whipping his wife in the approved
manner supposed to prevail in the
olden time He did not knock her
down, or pound her, or kick her but
just whipped her thoroughly with
switch. The wife-whipper was shown
to be au honest, sober, industrious
and skillful mechanic, who provided
abundantly for his family. His wife
had become infatuated with a drum
mer. with whom she maintained a
correspondence A compromising
letter from the drummer accidentally
fell into the hands of the outraged
and betrayed husband and he gave
the .faithless wife the whipping for
which he was arrested. Judge Frazer,
in imposing nominal sentence, eX-
pressed the opinion that the husband
was just about as nearly justified as a
man possibly could be under such
circumstances, and left the impress
sion that in his court offenders of
that class would not be dealt with
harshly
The other case occurred in Berks
county, before Judge Ermentrout.
Three small boys had been convicted
of theft and when brought before
him for sentences the Judge said that
the parents of these children were the
real culprits and deserved the punish
ment, and he refused to send these
neglected boys to Jail. If their par
ents had given them proper training
they would not have been brought
into court. Doubtless there is much
truth in what Judge Ermentrout
said, but it is also true that there are
many instances where the parents are
not responsible for the wrong-doing
OF their children, as almost every OBJ |
serving person knows from personal
knowledge and observation. Judge |
Ermeutrout's theory may be correct |
in a great many cases, but by no
means in all. At the same time when |
ever and wherever it is possible with
out detriment to the public welfare
or safety, children should not be sem
fenced to mprisonment. They should |
be saved from entering upon the |
battle Of life with the awful stain Of
convict upon them. 1t is better for a
Judge to err on the side of mercy in
such cases.

THE Keystone Sunday school work
ers outnumber those of every other
state. They are a mighty host in
nearly 10000 schools, with 100000
teachers and officers, and 100000
members. At the recent state con
vention, in Reading, the reports from
every county showed large gains dur
ing the year in every movement,
arousing great enthusiasm and lead
ing to enlarged plans for the future.
Some states, like Illinois, still lead in
certain de partments, but in these the
splendid gains of Pennsylvania work
ers are most significant Better still,
nothing was done for mere rivalry,
but to increase the Sunday school
population all over the state from %
per cent, the average, to 5Oper cent,
as it is in several counties.

Trenton, Dec. 19.-John Larkin was
convicted Of murder in the second de-
gree in Mercer county yesterday Lar
kin, who is a white man, killed Sam
uel Crusen, colored, at Princeton, on
July s. The men had been drinking
and had been in a row before the KILL
ing took place Larkin's defense was
that he shot Crusen in self defense
when the colored men attacked him
with q club. The testimony which
weakened Larkin's defense story was
that Larkin went home and got gun
and returned to the scene of the shoot
ing. Larllin is only about % years
old and bore a good reputation, while
Crusen's reputation was very bad.
