PAIR OF LIONS
The Original Owner Has
Them in Charge Here.
All the Way From AfriCa-Are
Young Yet-Crown Sires
Said 10 De TerrOrs.

Two savage growing lions are
pinned up in the old fire station build
in on Union lane. They We're brought
20 the city on the Moana and belong
10 Mr.. and Mrs. \. James. who are
on tour of the country with them.
There is no likelihood OF the animals
escaping. Tor Mr.. James prizes his pets
too highly 20 take chances. A. pres
ent they are confined in a small! but
stout cage, but today will be turned
into a larger cage running along the
entire length of the building. Here
they Will be exhibited 10 the public
The lions are certainly the best spe-
cimens ever brought 10 Honolulu. They
We're captured by Mr.. James in what
is known as Portuguese Africa. located
on the Western Coast. when they We're
seven or eight weeks old. They now
answer 10 the names OF Lobengula. who
was an African king and Lionsss Su-
All, the name of an African tribe
A friend and myself, accompanied by
a dozen kaffirs We're out hunting on
the plains said Mr.. James yesterday.
We encountered two lionesses with
five cubs. We killed the old ones and
the kaffirs captured the young ones
and carried them back to the city.
1 selected the finest pair in the lot
and sold the remaining ones in Africa
for one hundred and twenty-five
pounds.
They are good specimens of the ia
nous African black name blood and
are now eight months old. They will
continue to grow until they attain the
large size, II Will be five years
before they have attained their full
growth"
Mr.. James has spent several years
in Africa and has many interesting
stories TO tell OF that country. He
says that lions are quite numerous and
are very bold. In the town of Beira.
| where he lived, are they particularly
dangerous. y butcher secured a bull
lock from Madagascar and hung il m
over night. II was carried away by some
lions. These same animals. it is believ-
ed. returned one week later. and failing
10 find a bullock. carried away a kaffir
whom they caught on the outskirts of
| the city. Mr.. James says that the
younger lions travel together. Their
prey consists mostly of antelope. II
is the older lion who seeks his own
food and he is desperate. These ami
mails will attack man in broad day
light.
In speaking of Portuguese Africa.
Mr.. James says that it is almost i'm
possible for a white man TO thrive
there. Eighty carpenters We're import
ed last year to construct bridge over
a stream between Beira and Salisbury.
Only three of these men survived. the
bodies of the others being buried near
by the bridge they came To build.
Mr. and Mrs. James will leave for
California with their lions within a
week or two.

ROMANCE IN A BOTTLE.
Message on the River Brought Two Hearts
Together.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
Pope County. one of the sOuthernmost
counties of Illinois, furnishes one Of the
most romantic marriages in tbc annals of
Egypt" Fully one year ago Miss Nettie
Clark, a winsome girl Of sixteen, was re-
ceiving the regular attention OF the son
of a ia a-mer close at hand. Objections 10
the courtship were raised and the pair
had 10 resort to many ingenious ways in
order to communicate with each other.
Both lived near the Ohio River bank. ard
on the part of the girl ii was convenient
TO place the letter in 4 bottle at certain
hour and have IL float down 10 her lover
below. The system was found Inadequate
TO the desires OF the pair, and was at last
abandoned. Weeks after Miss Clark, in
company with a school companion about
her same age. prepared each note ask
ing that the finder answer ii upon receipt.
The missive was placed in d bottle and
securely sealed and thrown into the Ohio
River. Weeks passed and apparently the
bottled missives had been lost.
Near his Louisiana home, "A short dis
tance from New Orleans. Mr.. G. T. Ander-
son. a prominent planter. in passing along
the river bank spied bottle and noticed
a note inclosed. His curiosity was aroused
and upon examination he concluded 10
make answer. The correspondence thus
begun proved exceedingly interesting, and
soon the mutual friendship became close
and photos were exchanged. This seems
To have intensified the affections which
had been aroused by seven months OF
correspondence. The parents of Miss
Clark objected strongly TO the turn mat
ters had taken. They felt tina: a mar.
riage under such conditions. without even
| a personal acquaintance, was far from
possessing elements OF happiness for their
daughter. and therefore a visit from Mr.
Anderson was demanded. Last October
the promised Visit was made, and the OBJ

Nov aber the couple were married They

PRESENTS FOR SOLDIERS.
Odd Gifts that Our Wen in the Philippine.
Will Receive.

From the New York Observation-Disclosures.
The soldiers in the Philippines will re-
ceive some odd gifts this Christmas. sent
by the girls they left behind them. A
portrait is the most welcome present
homesick soldier can receive. In order
that he may carry 1t with him always 1t
should not be a cumbersome affair In
great heavy silver frame. 1t should be
small and handy and portray beloved
face. The private with his cheap photo
graph of his dear Sarah Jane and the
general with his $500 miniature are I'm
thorough sympathy. When the boys
went away many of them were laden with
lucky stones. charms. amulets. and mas
cots of all kinds from golden beans and
wee, black oak pigs TO rabbits feet and
four-leaved eIovers. But these TRIES are
giving place to photographs and mini1-
lures, the latter painted on ivory. EN-
bedded in velvet and encased in leather to
be as safe and unbreakable as possible.
One woman miniaturist says she has had
many orders for children's portraits, al
of which are to be sent to the men at the
front for Christmas. For one brave faith
er she has painted three portraits.
one of his son and heir of six, cne of
a daughter of two and one OF the baby
girl, whom the father has never seen.
These miniatures are quite small, hardly
larger than a twenty-five cent piece, and
they are trimmed with pearls-which SYM
bolize purity and tears.
Another touching miniature has been
revived as a keepsake, The beloved eye

vogue in the days Of Waterloo and before.
A single speaking" eye Is painted on the

Too Much Patent Legislation.


During the last few years there has
been considerable tinkering with the pat
ent laws and many ill-advised measures
have been proposed. but fortunately, very
few bills OF this character have received
serious consideration. One measure in
troduced during the last session. which
failed 10 reach a vote. provided for the
establishment Of a court 10 hear patent
causes exclusively. and It is now pro-
posed TO revive the bill and urge its pas
sage. The expediency Of such a measure
Is questionable, its practical value is not
generally admitted by experts, and there
are many reasons why It should not be
enacted.
Too much legislation will seriously az.
feet any system, and in patent-law prac-
tice, which al best is complicated and
greatly involved il has a tendency to
cause confusion. The leading patent law
yers OF the country have recognized the
great danger threatened by the enact
ment OF special laws for particular cases
which conflict with general rul,s Of prac-
uCe, and wherever possible they have en-
deavored TO discourage this tendency.
