night President Dole and J. 3. Light
foot. the committee in charge. handed
over the clubs marine railway. which
has been recently finished. The nrei
of this departure has been felt for
some time by the members OF the club

services gratuitously in the drawing
OF the plans and the general conduct
OF the work. which was begun about a
month ago. II is now completed and is
IN every way satisfactory. The Bonnie
Dundee has gone up on il and every
thing worked splendidly.
Another important action of tn,

ton as follows:

meeting that hereafter no member oi

allowed TO enter 4 race with yacht o.

The Supreme Court has handed
down a unanimous decision in the case
of the Hawaiian Star Newspaper AS
ISOLATION VS., II. B. Savior. in which
the former verdict is upheld. The
point of particular interest brought
out is:
'.Verdicts by nine out of twelve jur-
ors may be received in civil cases not
withstanding the seventh amendment
to the constitution of the United
States"
The defendant in error, who was
plaintiff below, recovered a verdict
against plaintiff in error. defendant
below. for $500, two jurors dissenting.
The error assigned Is in substance
that the verdict, upon which judgment
was entered, was contrary to the sew
eHth amendment of the constitution of
the United States, which it is contend
ed required that the verdict be unani-
nous. According TO the recent decision
in the case of the Republic VS.. Edwards
we must hold that there was no error
in receiving the verdict and entering
Judgment upon il.
The verdict must stand
The case OF Edwards referred to in
the above decision was an appeal for
rehearing on the ground that only
nine jurymen assented in the verdict
of guilty. il being contended that this
was against the constitution of the
United States. In the opinion handed
down stating that the verdict must
stand the following points of law were
brought out:
During the present transition period
felons may be prosecuted without the
intervention OF grand jury. and con
victed by nine out OF twelve petit jur-
orS as permitted by the Hawaiian stat
utes. notwithstanding the fifth and
sixth amendments to the constitution
of the United States and the clause in
the Joint resolution Oh annexation.
which provides for the continuation
of Hawaiian municipal legislation not
inconsistent with the constitution of
the United States.
In another section the decision says:
We ara therefore OF the opinion
that Congress did not intend by the
Joint resolution OF annexation to eN-
tend TO these Islands The fifth and
sixth amendments 10 the constitute

General strength abroad und contin-
ued bad crop news gave wheat strong
start. May opened Nose higher at
from 75c down to 74Ec. and rose to
T5bc. At this point the market was
flooded with long wheat, which showed
tempting profits. For about twenty
minutes, however, there were shorts
enough DESTROYS Of stopping further
loss on previous sales to absorb Offer
inSs. and the market held firm. The
bears took fresh courage when II be-
came evident that liquidation was to
continue, and shorts who had covered
early commenced to sell again. When
both longs and shorts had wheat to
sell at the same time 1t was impossible
to find buyers enough. and that state
OF affairs resulted In punctured boom,
The price OF May inside of an hour
dropped to 75Ac. Short selling was en-
outraged by the heavy shipments OF
wheat from Argentina this week, which
amounted to nearly 100000 bushels.

row In Illinois and rainy conditions In

the decline. The market became very

Tile International Sunday School Lesson
April 10, 1900. John Mi III.
Jesus Teaching Humility.

I
We emphasize disproportionately the
sadness Of the Last Supper. Jesus as
host. would not allow the occasion to
wholly lose its festive character. The
room was spacious. The walls had been
freshly whitened, and It's tile floor
secured The low, gaily-painted table
was imposition with the couches form
Ing three sides OF. 4 hollow square about
II. Dishes, basins and water jars were
all in position. 1t was n goodly scene
the well-trlmmed lamps shone down
upon. The fresh turbands OF blue.
crimson and yellow, the animated
faces, the table covered with damask
and we'll supplied, all made study for
painter.
The presence Of Judas was one ugly
spot OF the feast OF love. Jesus with
out openly eliminating him before the
company. announced that one Of the
twelve would betraV him. He did this
for their sakes that they might know
He was perfectly aware of His impend-
ing fate. and not being surprised. Volun-
tarily submitting to II. He did It for
Judas sake also. 1t was His last ap-
peal to the traitor. He gave Judas
prominent place at the table. and gave
him his portion lovingly with His own
hand. He let him know He read his
wicked heart. and only when 1t was
of no avail He babe him do quickly his
wicked deed.
The other blot upon the fascinating
picture was :he unseemly dispute as to
precedence at the table. The disciples
scrambled for the most eligible places.
1t was to rebnlse this that Jesus acted
a significant parable before them. He
performed the most mental task of
scullary drudge. one that with their
Oriental ideas they would hardly have
performed for the Master Himself.
Peters strong protest indicates the
depth Of the apparent degradation. But
Jesus, with full consciousness OF His
origin and destiny. could still do this
lowly service. Etiquette o: court could
neither make nor unmake this king OF
men who came from God and went to
God. There must be an end OF caste, OF
place and precedence when the Lord
and Master washed the disciples feet.
Henccforth they must cherish such a
feeling toward one another as would
make them willing to perform service
as lowlE as that of washing the feet.
