owner always been hostile to Mr..
W. f. L, Stanley, recently Circuit
Judge OF the First judicial Circuit,

ing bis intention 10 make Hawaii

licau statep, however, what is not
the truth when it say, that "Mr.
Stanley before becoming an Amerl-
gan 'citizen was compelled to say,
that in the evolution OF time it war
broke out between the United States
aud Great Britain, he would take up
arms for the United States"
Mr.. Stanley, in an interview,
stated that no questions were asked
him IN regard to the matter referred
to, and that Judge Estee after few

Brown OF Hilo.

Mr.. J. II. Blown, well-known
resident OF Hilo, returned to the
rainy city to-day after a brief Elsit
to the capital.
Mr.. Brown was an applicant for
the office of U. S. Dnputy Marshal
but he failed to connect. He pre-
sented very pretty badge
OF a Deputy Marshal to Mr.
e. r.. Hendry, the Deputy Marshal
fer Oahu. Mr.. Brown must have
had "sure thing" when he ordered
the badge for his personal use and he
evidently had "very sure thing"
when he gave it away
Although Mr. Brown will not
become Deputy MARSHALL he will
become a. valuable addition to
Honolulu whore he will establish
himself and open first class
plumbing business in partnership
with Mr., Quinn. The new firm will
be located on Union Street and
expects to open at the first OF next
month.
MrBrown admitted before leaving
that he ia an AL politician and will
teach the "boys" trick or two, but
he declined to say whether he WAS a
Humphreynite, a Thuystonian OF
only plain Brown, the plumber
The latter position carries with II
financial results which are not
gained from the other parties,

The manager OF a certain refresh

after having sent a slavy to the
warehouse to open the amber color
ed Rainier Beer, yet entombed in big
boxes, in which the bottles arc snug
ly slowed away in straw.
The young man opened the first
box he cams across, and then fell
into fit,
The handsome manager said
"How" to a friend and rushed out
to see what had scared the boy.
The gasping youth pointed to the
box recently opened, and behold it
was filed wieh empty bottles, neat
ly put back in the paper wrappers

box the correct weight.
The handsome manager made a
few side steps according to Richard

and a strike" and then went to
work to learn how much that

DEFIEs THE PRESS.
Judge Humphreys Advances Several
Original Theories to the Amuse-
mant of tho PuhIic

Original Theories to the Amuse-
ment of tho Public
The following additional charge
was delivered to the Grand Jury by
Judge Humphreys this morning:
Mr. FOREMAN AND G. NTLEMEN CT THE
GRAND jury:
desire to direct your attention
to matter which / feel it proper to
advert to at this time. Since the be-
ginning Of this term, aud since the
organization OF this jury certain
statements have been made in the
public press. i desire to say to you,
gentlemen Of the Grand Jury, that
you are not to concern yourselves
with any matter or thing, by whom.
eoever it may pnrport 10 have been
written or signed, which appears In
the public press of this city or in
any public press. You are to con-
Germ yourselves with crimes that
have been or are alleged to have
been committed, and with such mat
ters as this Court charged you to in
vestigate aud report on. We are
concerned with present evils and
conditions. Let us look hopefully
to the future, care for the present
and not dig up things OF the past.
On the 18th day of August, 1898,
the Republic of Hawaii passed into
history. Like any other historical
fact it is subject TO criticism and
censure, il criticism and censure be
deserved. II is not for you to de-
termine whether or not certain con-
ditions did prevail here prior to the
18th day Of August, 1893. 1t is a
matter OF which you can absolutely
take no cognizance. 1t is not within
your duty to determine whether or
not the Monarchy was right
fully oVerthrown; whether or not
troops were properly landed here
from au American man-of-waT. 1t
is a matter OF some historical i'm
portauce as to whether or not Mary,
Queen OF Scots, was rightfulIy be-
headad, but this grand jury is not to
concern itself with that any more
than as to whether the Hebrew or
the Gentle religion is the proper
religion. You will not be infuenc-
cd by anything said in the public
press. There are many things said
in the press that are true, and un-
fortunately many things are said in
the press that are untrue, but it is
not your business and place to run
a threohing machine through all OF
the idle remarks made from time to
time in the public press. With this
caution yoy may retire.
