THE DEATHS OF A MONTH
THE GRIM REAPER'S HARVEST
FOR JUNE.
Consumption Still Leads as the Most
Potent Cause of Death-Preponder-
ance of Death Among Males.

There were 1O5 deaths in Honolulu
during June. OF these were of nom
residents. This is higher death rate
than May, though not as high a rate
as during the earlier part of the year
1t is the highest recorded for the month
of June for six years or more. Inc
deaths during the past six years in June
have been: 1895, 81; 1896 81; 1897, 81
1898, 20; 1892 49, 1900, 105.
AS for several months past the num-
Der of deaths among males has been
greater than among females. 1t would
be at least curious to know whether
this is due to a preponderance of males
in the population, or to some other
cause. This can be learned from the
census bureau at Washington as soon
as the census returns have been recelN-
ed there and tabulated.
The greatest number of deaths oc-
CURED among those under one year OF
age. But the number occurring among
those between 20 and 30, makes close

MUNICIPAL MUSIC.

Another new departure in the way of
municipal enterprise has to be reported
from the progressive parish of Batter
sea. For some time past the members
of the dominant party of the local YES
try have been of opinion that open-air
concerts in the summer months given at
the expense of the county council ought
to be supplemented by similar enter
tainments during that part of the year
when the state of the weather precludes
any public gathering in the park or on
Chaplain common. The assent of the
vestry to the use of the town hall on
Lavender hill having been obtained, ar
rangements are now being made for a
series of free concerts to be given week.
give me what information you have
public notice was issued which express
es an opinion that there must be many
ladies and gentlemen in the parish who
would be glad to assist the scheme with
vocal or instrumental music. All such
artists are invited to communicate with
the Yestry clerk.-London Leader.
Everything would be forgiven to Otis
If he would only be considerate enough
to bring Aguinaldo home with him.

death, was aged so years, 1 month and

washington. Jan. S.-The house OF

resolution for a full investigation into

and Orson Smith of Logan, the alleged

General GrosvenOr is a member OF the

that he IS not so well satisfied on this
subject as was represented in the news
Glen Miller bore back to Salt Lake.
The resolution, as adopted, Is a mOdl-

was quite laxative; ne discussed the
weather and many other unimportant
things. He did not mourn his position
nor was he nervous. Notwithstanding
his long confinement in the county jail
h is not pale and sickly in appearance;
his color IS good, il is rudy and
healthy; his eye flashes intelligence
and aIertness.
Sitting in The court room while his
lawyer was examining jurors. he
watched closely and intently all the
PROCEEDINGS. never being shocked nor
seemingly surprised, never evincing any
anxiety. But his black eyes were sell
dom taken off jurors when they were
answering questions Captain Mills is
not in the same class as ordinary crimi-
nals; he does not look like one of them.
There isn't about his face or manner
an evidence Of a criminal character. He
at least looks Ike a gentleman.
In painful contrast to the prisoner
was the wife of his victim. who sat at
the opposite side Of a table from him.
Pale, even ashen, haggard and broken
down, with CLASSY stare, a fixed far
away look sat Mrs. O'Afelveney. There
are cOrpses which look more healthy
and life-like than does she. Her face

That is undoubtedly the truth. Mrs

that ever came iTto Judge Norrell' s
court room. 1t does not seem that she

weeks ago she was as happy and as
contented as the average woman.
Though Mrs O'Melveney and Cap

a defense Of insanity" Sometimes he
varied the question. not caring TO use
the word insanity" He would ask if
they had preJudices against a defense
Of mental irrespo or If they
would consider evidence tending to
prove the defendant irresponsible.
That line Of questions startled the
prosecution. as was plainly evident
County Attorney Putnam didn't expect
such a defense. and he is now guessing,
unable to decide whether the attorney
for the prisoner means t. But there is,
too, another line Of defense-that of
justifiable homicide, as was plainly evil
dent 1t is founded upon clause 4 Of
section 416S Of the revised statutes Of
! Utah, which, speaking Of juetitiable
homicide, SAYS:

] passion, caused by the attempt Of the
/ deceased TO commit a rape upon, or to
defile the wife. daughter. sister, mother
or other female relative or dependent
I Of the accused. or when the defilement
! has actually been committed.
Important For Defense
That s,5-tion is very likely 10 be a
more important part Of the defense
I than a plea of insanity. There is no
question, Notwithstanding the secrecy
of defendants counsel, that they will
/ endeavor to show that Mills, learning
from his wife at the St Marks hos
pltal of her infidelity, went straight 10
/ the Halls for his gun and then 10
/ O'Melveney's Office. where he shot the
man whom ne believed to have denied

that he did this in the heat Of PAS
sion,' as required by the statute.

The attorneys for the defense viii not
