ANNIE T.K.PARKER
To Engage in the Cattle
Business.
Her Guardian Petitions That She
May be Represented nj a Pro-
posed Corporation.

In the probate division Of the Circuit
Court yesterday a. w. Carter. recently
appointed guardian OF the estate OF
Annie T. X Parker, filed a petition TO
Judge Perry in which he sets out that
the property interests OF his ward are
largely in lands and live stock used
as a ranching business.
That there is about TO be organized
a corporation under the laws of the
Hawaiian Islands for the purpose OF en-
gaging in, carrying on, buying. selling.
importing and dealing in all kinds OF
live stock, the selling OF beef. cattle.
sheep, hogs and poultry and other live
stock, and the selling of carcasses or
parts thereof or any products or COM
modities made therefrom, and the buy
ing and selling of all kinds OF food
products, said business TO be confined
to within certain limits in the districts
of Hilo and Puma, on the Island OF Ha-
wall.
That the ranch in which the said mi
nor is interested has found a market
within such limits and it would be
greatly to the advantage of said mi
nor's estate to be able to participate in
the said proposed corporation.
That the business about to- be car
ried on by the said proposed corpora
ton is, in fact, of the same nature as
the business that has been heretofore
carried on by the estate of said minor
That it is, essential for the protection
of the ranching business and said mi
nor's interest that she be represented
in said corporation and be permitted
to participate in the same.
That the capitalization of said cor
poration is $4,000.
That the capital required for said
corporation will probably at no tim,
exceed $4,000.
That the said minor will be entitled
to one-fourth of the stock in said cor.
poration and participate in one-fourtl
of the profits.
In conclusion the guardian prays tina
he be authorized to subscribe and pay
for the stock it is proposed that tn,
minor shall take. etc.

MYSTERY OF THE cANoN's HAT.

MYSTERY or THE CANoN's HAT.
The Clemens conscience was much
troubled At the time OF the Interview
by the hat OF Canon wilberforce. The
American humor!st and the famous
English divine had been fellow guests
at a dinner TWO nights before. and
Canon wilberforce was called away
early by his Parliamentary duties. and
when Mark Twain came TO go later on
he. found that his hat was gone. i
tried every hat in sight ne said. ana
at last found one that fitted every
idlosyncrasy OF my Uranium. Il Is a
strange and mysterious circumstance
that Il turned out to be The property
81 Canon wilbertorce. After had had
II day was Obliged 20 write hastily
20 the Canon AID explain that my fam
lily had become seriously alarmed by
my condition. Ever since wearing the
Canon's hat had been unable TO take
property that did no; belong to me:
had found IL impossible to stretch n
statement beyond the bounds OF truth.
and had shown such a complete change
in morals that the advisabiiiJy of send
ing for n doctor for me was being
seriously considered.
When I reflected that this was NO
doubt the influence of the clergyman's
hat. I became badly frightened at the
thought OF what must be the effect OF
my hat upon him. He must have been
telling lies right and left ever since he
picked out my hat-'Mark Twain was
written In II. too. in big letters: wrote
it myself. Judging by the number OF
moral beauties brought out in me by
the Canon's hat, the number OF vices
awakened in his bosom by my hat must
have been appalling. and must get up
this minute. have that hat nicely
ironed. take IL down to- Westminster
and get mine away from the Canon be-
fore It plunges him into some awful
disgrace. IL II had not done so already"
The incident pleased Mr.. Clemens So
much that he told n somewhat different
version of Il ut a dinner that night.

A TOURIST SEES
JAPANESE MAGIC.
Chicago Record.)

Chicago Record)
I strayed into a small theater in Yo-
kohama. last year following a throng
of rather common Japanese. who
seemed deeply interested and anxious
to crowd in, drawn by the fierce ring
ing of an ordinary boarding house din
ner bell in the hands of a piratical-
looking chap in front, who harangued
the passing public in stentorian tones.
His words seemed to catch the atten-
ton of at least half the people who
heard him, and they were drawn into
the building as the children followed
the Pied Piper of Hamelin. without
seeming to have any voice in their own
movements.
Going along with the stream l found
myself in a square room, on one side
of which was a rough stage. 1 learned
afterward that l had entered in the
middle of the performance, and. there
fore, l saw only the latter half; but 1t
was this second half that seemed to me
almost allegorical in its application to
the Japan of today.
All eyes were fixed upon a cellular
subdivision of the stage, at the farther
end of which. under a soft, pleasing
light, stood skeleton of a woman.
The bones were perfectly articulated;
they were not white, as they usually
are in this country, but seemed like
half-poliShed steel. l was wondering
what there was in the skeleton to at
tract such rapt attention from the
crowd, and my eyes wandered over the
faces of the audience. When / again
glanced at the skeleton a change
seemed to have come over it. The
bones We're less steely and less sharply
defined. Thenceforth l did not look
| away from the fascinating optical de-
fusion that was taking place before me.
More and more distinct grew the
outlines of the skull, and less and less
! forbidding grew the color of the other
bones. Then, as they seemed half fad
ing into gloom, l became aware that
around all the bones was gathering a
cloud, as though a fog was clinging to
them. This nimbus became more and
more noticeable, until l saw that IL
was taking the general human form.
Still faded the bony framework until
the shape of a real fiesh-and-blood wo-
4 q
full pose. Gradually, as the head. body
and limbs became more clearly defined
another dim gathering outside the fig
ure appeared, and the kimono and
other external raiment of the Japan
csc belle declared themselves. At last
a wax-like statue stood before us
Then it began to take color in the hair
eyes, cheeks, lips and dress, until
| without warning the figure thus
evolved from the staring and GRIMM;
skeleton-walked to the front of tn,
stage, made two or three inimitabl,
demure Japanese courtesies and passed
out of sight in the wings.
/ felt that / had seen represented tn,
change that is going on in new Japar
today. On the bare bones OF a deaC
feudalism the flesh and blood and ap
parel of a new civilization have beer
taking form, hardly noted in the tran
sitional steps, yet continuing TOWARD
its goal unerringly, until n new
creature will be the result.

Carnival Crumbs.

| Messrs. Wilson s. Miller, mining
brokers, have kindly given room "a
one of their Office rooms in the Shell
don block, for the use of the Carnival
committee. Headquarters will there
fore be established in room "a,
where the secretary will be glad to see
all interested in the success of the en-
terprise.
The Wells-Fargo express company,
this morning, extended valuable cour-
tesies to the carnival secretary. in the
way of assisting in the organization of
his Office. In fact, every one in the
city seems determined to make the car
nival an illustriOus success.
The carnival secretary respectfully
solicits suggestions from all having at
heart the success of the midwinter fes-
tival. These suggestions can be COM
municated to him in person or by let
ter.
Such an occasion as Ell Paso can make
of the mid winter carnival will be
worth millions TO the city; and when it
shall have been concluded, the wonder
of all will be that it was not inaugu-
rated several years earlier.
In the multitude of counsel there ia
wisdom and the carnival secretary al
ready acknowledges some valuable
suggestions received. Each citizen
should feel that the proposed festival
is city affair, an enterprise in which

CONAN DOYLE's DETECTIVE
Where He Got His Material To Create
Sherlock Holmes.

DIR. Conan Doyle got his first idea of
his famous dete ctive, Sherlock Holmes,
from an old professor of medicine st the
Edinburgh University. This man,
says the New England b ONE Magazine,
would sit in the pstien Is waiting room.
with a face like red Indian. and dag
nose the people as they came in, even
before they had opened their mouths
He would tell them their
symptoms, and he would give them de-
tails of their lives. sGentlemen," he
would say to the students standing
about. 81 am not quite certain whether
this man is q cork cutter or a slater.
l observe a slight callous or hardening
on one side of his forefnger and little
thickening on the outside of his
thumb. That is a sure sign that he is
either one or the other.''
His deductions were very dramatic.
"Ah!" he would say to another man.
''you are soldier, non-commissioned
officer, and you have served in Bermu-
da. Now, gentlemen, how did know
that? He came into the room without
taking off his hat, as he would go into
an ordinary room. He was q soldier.
A slightly auth oritative air, com bined
with his age, shows at he was a non
commissioned officer. A rash on his
forehead tells me that he was In Ber-
muda and subject to a certain rash
known only there"

NEW FIRE ALARM
The City Likely To Adopt the Game
Well System.

@. A. Ray, representative of the
Gamewell fire alarm system, is in the
city and next Thursday night will &c
before the council with proposition to
place his electric alarm boxes in all
parts of the city, or as many of them a.
thecity is willing to pay for just at this
time.
The establish ment of the system In
this city will cost several thousand dol.
lars but is considered by insurance men
and others as fully worth the money.
A number of delays occasioned late
ly by alarms being misunderstood and
starts being made in the opposite direc-
ton from the fire, have demonstrated
the utter unreliability of the present
alarm system and the crying need for
better.
The Gamewell system works by
means of a crank, which is concealed
within locked box. It is only neces-
sary to unlock the box and pull down
the lever to turn in an alarm, which
never fails to give the required dfrec-
tiOns to the apparatus at headquarters,
SO that no time is lost in getting to the
scene of the confiagratiOn.
The city already has one of the best
electrical experts in this vicinity in it's
employ. Sherry Faulkner, and the new
alarm system could be turned over to
him to be kept in order. He has made
a number of useful inventions and
electric appliances around the depart
ment that have been found invalua-

CHURCHTO BE A SALOON.
Bell Will Toll the Hours Fixed BY
the RaineS Law.

A dispatch in the Rochester Herald
from Roslyn, L. l., says: The hamlet
of Roslyn Hills. one of the suburbs OF
this town, felt depressed today when
the residents learned that the only
church in the place was to be turned
to q barroom. Their only hope now
is in the annual camp meeting.
The building, which formerly was
the Congregational church, is a neat
structure, with stained glass windows,
q tower and bell, standing on the
main thoroughfsre. Several years ago
the Congregational church was a
prosperous parish. 1t occupied a
small building, but progressive spirits
wanted new structure.
A loan of 81 800 was negotiated with
the Riverhesd Savings Bank and the
present structure was built. Differences
then arose and the debt could not be
paid. One year ago the property was
sold under foreclosure. 1t has been
unoccupied ever since, though recent
ly movement was started to raise
money to buy it back by the former
congregation.
Last week the church was sold to
Mrs. Margaret Thomas. wealthy wo-
man of Roslyn TO day alterations were
begun to fit it up as a saloon. The pro-
minent location of the building makes
it valuable for this purpose.
The church bell hereafter is to be
used as fire bell and for the purpose
of announcing political gatherings,
which the sman who has rented the
building says will be held in the form
er Sunday school room. The bell also
will be tapped to mark the legal open
ing and closing hours under the Raines
law

all Ell Pasoans are equally interested.
So let all help it along oy good wishes
and good words.
No one has been more energetic in
getting the carnival movement on it's
feet, both by his personal effort and
liberality, than has DIR. A. K. Albers.
To him and Frank Powers is chiefly
due the very fisttering beginning mad
in the way of securing subscriptions.
Naturally this success has encouraged
every friend OF the enterprise, and
now that secretary has been employ
ed, an active campaign will be vigor-
ously pushed all along the line.

The. Average EngIishman.

In The Fortnightly Review, Mr.
Joseph Jacobs writes an exceedingly
clever sketch, which has for title
1.-THE Mean Englishman," and he des
cribes the average Britisher physically
but treats only incidentally of his
mental qualities. Mr.. Joseph Jacobs
is far too wise to attempt the gauging
of the average Euglishman's brains.
He alludes, however, in an amusing
manner, to mental possibilities as "that
golden mediocrity which poets and
philosophers have praised so much-in
others"
William Sproggett is his typical
Englishman and Bill is feet inches
In features he is markedly Anglo-SaX-
on, with "a jaw heavy and wide" He
Is not handsome or striking, but has g
good, honest face. If you look at
him he will return your gaze and
never blink. AS a working animal
he will toll year in and year out
iftX.four hours in the week. Sproggett
will spend much of his money for food,
In his bill of fare there are butter, lard
drlppings. suet, meat, bacon, milk.
cheese, sugar, sweets and some of his
hardly earned shillings go for beer,
but not so very much. ENGLAND is
one of the butter and. beer countries,
as cOntrssted with oil and wine
countries, like France and Italy"
Apart from climatic Influences, diet
has much to do with the making OF the

gett is producer of stockings or
