OR.LUNC DIVORCED
Mrs. Lung Was Well
Known in Honolulu
Charge of Fia bicuai IGte importance
Decree Afrer.M onths of Lit
igatIOn.

Dr.. George y. Lung, surgeon Of the
United States cruiser Philadelphia,
after months of litigation has finally
secured a decree Of divorce from his
wife, Elizabeth Lung, on the ground 81
habitual intempeTanCe. Judge Murasky
ordered a record Of the decree made
late yesterday afternoon, and the gal
liant navy surgeon is now a free man.
In his complaint for divorce Dr.
Lung charged his wife with habiJual
iItemperance. Witnesses from Port
Royal, On the Atlantic seaboard, and
from the Hawaiian Islands, from the
Norfolk navy yard and this city were
taken into court to substantiate the
plaintiffs charges. Dispositions from
these points were also secured, all bear
ing on Mrs. Lungs love for liquor, and
were read in evidence. Mrs. Lung in
defense, charged her husband with
cruelty, claimed. that at one time he
locked her up in a closet ard after
ward choked her The trial occupied
several Gays and was heard behind
closed doors. On one occasion Mrs.
Lung created d sensation by assaulting
Ben True, the detective, in the corridor
outside the court, and then, after start
ling the court by her sudden entrance
tainted away. On another occasion Dr.
Lung caused u suspension of the hear
ing by breaking down on the stand,
and later the attorneys in the case
engaged in a battle CT fists that was
only ended by the plaintiff after he had
received several Well-directed kicks on
the Sims.
When the testimony was all IN
Geo. =. Collins, who represented Mrs.
Lung, rDntended that even II the evil
dence supported the~ piaftu,h's conten-
tons le could not secure decree OF
divorce N the courts Of this State, as
he was not legal resident, The mat
TOR nf residence was argued fer some
time and then submitted on briefs.
Yesterday, however, Judge MufashE
decided that the plaintiff was entitled
to sue in the courts Of this city; that
Ali alterations were based on fact, ana
in consequence he was entitled TO de-
cree Of divorce as prayed for, when
was granted. no provision for allmony
was made, but DR.. Lung voluntarily
agreed to pay Mrs. Lung $50 month
as long as she required that sum for
her maintenance

1Ht. BRITISH CLAIMS.


Tie claims OF British residents in
HaWaiI growing out Of the late revo-
tuition have ali now been filed and are
IN gaa hands al the British Consul Mr.
" r. EJoare There are several other
claims against the Hawaiian Govern
ment enc Danish, NO Greek and one
Portuguese. also mentioned in this con-
nec1ion in the following comments by
the Washington Star:
An erroneous impression has been
created by late report from Hawaii
TO tho effect that the United States
Government has admitted formally he
merits OF the claims preferred by Ger
Tain British and other foreign sub
jects against the Hawaiian Govern
ment for their arrest and expulsion
during the attempted rebellion in the
islands in 1895 The facts iii the ease
are that when Hawaii was annexed TO
the United States the question arose
as to the liability fer certain claims,
including the above, which were pend
ing against the Hawaiian Government
at the time. The solicitor of the State
Department. Judge Penfield, decided
and in this decision Accompaniment
Griggs concurred-that proper claims
against the Hawaiian Government were
not destroyed by the annexation. But
when it came TO the question OF lIabll-
ity for the payment Of such claims 1t
was held that the United States GOV
eminent must hold the local govern
n2ent of Hawaii chargeable, especially
III the case of those foreign claims,
and the Hawaiian Government has
been SO informed.
II Is distinctly stated, however, that
in settling this abstract proposition,
touching the liability Of even the
United States or Hawaii, our govern
ment has not undertaken to pass upon
the validity of the claims. 1t simply
declares that if they are valid Hawaii
must assume the liability. After all,
the aggregate of the claims is not con-
siderable All Of the British claims
foot up only $7,O50 There is a claim
by one Danish subject, Edmund Nor
RE, two Greek claims and one Portu-
guese claim, but in those cases no sum
is mentioned by the claimants. There
is one claim to the amount of $4,000
preferred by an American citizen, one
James BURIAL, and this claim stands

HALF WAY TO THE POLE.

4 Singular Monument Built Near Ca
lais, Maine.
CALAIS, Me, Saturday. singular
mark Of honor, and yet one to which it
is naturally entitled, has just been con-
ferred by the United States Govern
ment upon North Perry, little village
situated in Washington county, about
twenty-one miles from this city. That
hitherto insignificant hamlet is located
midway between the equator and the
north pole, and this memorable fact is
TO he noted on snaft which will be
erected within the next few days at
one of the most central points in the
village
There IS one church in North Perry,
and th5 shaft viii be placed on one side
OF the little path leading from the
street OF the church door. On the
front cf the pillar will be cut the
words, This stone marks latitude IS
degrees north, half way from the equa
tor 10 the north POLE"
Naturally this unexpected incident
has set the people of North Perry in a
futter of excitement. There are only
abou. BOO persons in the place. and
while the men earn their living by act
ing as guides to hunting parties and
by working in the lumber camps, the
women and children earn a little
money IN the spring and early fall by
picking berries and sending them TO the
canning factories. Not often do they
take holiday, but they are determined
TO have one on the day when the shaft
is placed in position.
The stone, which has just been com
pleted at q granite quarry near here,
was ordered by the Government, and
the spot which it will occupy has been
marked by the geographical surveyors
OF the United States Government as be-
ing precisely midway between the equa
tor and the north pole

Interesting Facts About n Lichen of

the Saharan Desert.
According to NJ. Chastrey, the true
mama Of the Scripture is the thallo-
phvte. known to botanists as Canona
esculenta and Lichen esculentus.
The nomads of the Sahara and south
Algeria call il Ousseh- el-Ard. 1t is also
found in Persia, Arabia and Mesopo-
tamia. 1t is grayish, about the size Of
a small pea, and farinaceous inside.
Some say the spores are brought by
wind and develop with dew. Others
think il leaves q germ or seed behind II
when it perishes. 1t should be collected
in the morning Of its appearance, be-
cause it dries in the sun and Is lost IN
the sand. 1t can be preserved in closed
vessel. The lichen does not cling TO any
foreign body. but lies on the sand in a
laver sometimes nearly an inch thick
and can be collected easily. Ii is rather
sweet in taste.
The Arabs. whose lives 1t often saves,
boil it in water, and thus get a gelati-
nous paste, which they serve in various
ways. To preserve the mamma they dry
it in the shade or they wrap the paste
in skins. Analysis shows that the lichen
contains Is parts of water, IA of nitrog-
enous matter, 20 Of non-nitrogenous
matter, 5 Of mineral matter, 80 Of sug-
AIRED and amylaceous matter and OF
fats. The Arabs of Chaambra and the
Algerian douars never fail to gather 1t
after dews and rains as a welcome ad-
dition to their diet and gentle laxa-
tive.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Mend Your Birds Legs.

Young chickens and other birds fire.
Quently break the bones Of their legs,
and if properly attended to these frac-
lures can be easily cured with very lit
tie trouble. AS soon as the injury is
noticed the fracture must be carefully
cleaned and washed with warm water
and then wrapped with bit OF antisep-
tic cotton. Splints are then prepared
for the fractured limb, preferably OF
split elder wood, the pith Of which is
taken out. These splints are fastened
to the cotton with drop of glue, and
held tightly in place by being wound
with linen thread. The bandage and
dressing are left undisturbed for from
three to four weeks, then the leg Is
soaked in tepid water until the bandage
comes off easily. The fracture will have
completely healed in that time.
Canaries and other pet birds can be
similarly treated in case of fracture
of leg, only the elder splints are sub
stituted by pieces Of cardboard and th
bandage is left but two weeks on the
little winged patients.

FORESTS OF STONE.

the most preposterous shapes. All our

a hard mineral substance. The are for

In the Wash, between the counties
of Lincoln and Norfolk, there is ar old
forest under the sea, with stumps of
fallen oaks and elms still visible in
places when the tide is low. This was
all dry land in the days of the ancient
Britons.

Kattir Swimming Fents.

The Kaffirs are great swimmers. They
can do things in the water which other
folk would look upon with astonish-
ment. For example Kaffir boy can
ford stream shoulder high, running
as swiftly as if shot from torrent.
The way they accomplish the feat is
thus: Just before entering the water
they get huge stone, sometimes a
heavy as themselves, and with the helI
of a companion place it upon the head.
a weight like this gives the hoy bal
ance. and he can keep his footing
against the heaviest stream. If he were
to drop the stone, he would be SO light
that the water would sweep him of his
feet And this is just one of the hatfi1
tricks to accomplish things against tide
and food
