His Own ] awyer.

"Jock" Mcclure won an easy VIC
tory in the Circuit Court yesterday
when he plead his own case on the
charge of perjury preferred against
him. The prosecution failed to
prove that Jock" was not built like
George Washington, who couldn't
tell lie and it took just seven min
utes for the jury to render a verdict
OF not guilty.
This morning Jock" was charged
in the Police Court with Needless
driving-he was probably trying to
get away from the Court room-and
after an able defense he was dig
charged by the Magistrate. We
hope "Jock" will stick to his job in
the Railroad yard and not branch
out as a lawyer even il his admiring
friends may advise him to do 80.

He Will Travel.

Hon. C. w. Maclarlane wants to
go down to Pearl City and pick up

Yesterday Mr.. Macfarlane appear
at the Board of Health office. He
was as calm as the weather was
when the Paloma didn't go around
the buoy at Lahaina, and the ex-
preston on his blue spectacles in
dicated that he meant business.
Doctor" he said in hoarse
whisper, "give me an acetylene in
lection and be quick about itl'
The doctor looked puzzled and
said: "Don't you mean prophy-
lactt one; the other ones explode
occasionally7"
Clarence drew himself up
and said "there is nothing in a
name, squirt in your syrup and don't
wait until l turn on the Washington
lights on the bills of this Board of
Health"
There was a painful silence q
heart rending scream and the fav-
orite ex-athlete OF Honolulu had
been injected and ejected.
"Mr. CeW. Macfarlane is feeling
uncomfortable but is resting easy"
is the bulletin received at noon. He
was somewhat feverish and saw
tombstones and lost sacks of opium
dancing before his eyes, but he will
5e alright in few days and ready to
go to Pearl City and find out where
the Paloma has gone TO.

THEY FOUND HIM.

Mr.. L. A. Thurslon's organ has
found the Enemy, at least ex Editor
Armstrong has dug him up. The
Enemy is not the partner Of Mr..
Thurston, he is only mentioned
with awe in the church where Lor-
rim ought to pray aud referred to
with glee, as partner, in the Legis-
lature where that descendant Of a
missionary made his debut in public
life.

mission OF the emissaries of the
planters is Joseph o. Garter, and in
lieu of a purgatory he is temporarily
punished by having his picture in

charity of Mr.. Thurston's sheet, and
"the sympathetic interest OF path
illogical students" Mr.. Carter is to
have that "rather than denunciation
or blame"

Enemy in sending copy of Wray
Taylor's official report to his friend,
Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota.
This bad man, whom Mr. Thurs
tors organ says is in the pay of the
Sugar Trust-not the Hawaiian one
which pays Morgan of Alabama
has had the audacity to present
Taylor's official report to the SEN
ate and tell his brothers in that
august assem- bly, that he got it from
Mr.. j. o. Carter, to whom he paid a
tribute that even the Advertiser
man felt Obliged to endorse. Mr..
Carter has been against contract
labor in very outspoken manner
since he, in 1872, addressed public
political meeting in Kaumakapili
Church. Mr.. Carter wishes no pub
licity, we are we'll aware, and we who
know him intimately care not to re-
fer to his struggles against the rich
in the interest of the laboring men
since those days when even his life
was threatened by enraged sugar
barons.
We are simply dealing with the
present case when w. N. Armstrong
found the man who furnished the
ammunition by sending an official
report to friend in the Senate.
Carter didn't write the re port; Tay-
Tor did, and it must have been pub
lished by the consent OF the Cabi-
net. Garter has never thrown out
the slightest imputation against our
courts. He has deplored the laws
that compelled the Judges to render
decisions that seem cruel and out
rageous 10 every American freeman.
The judges did not make the laws;
the Legislature did and the Legis.
laturs was presumably representing
the people. How then does Carter
becomes the responsible Enemy OF
Hawaii 1t is claimed by Mr.. Thurs-
tons organ that Carter is injuring
his own interests by telling Petit
grew the whole truth; If so, does
that not show that j. o. Carter's
principles are higher than his
pockets, and does it not illustrate

pocket he might on the next llth of

AT THE GRAND.

De Koven and Smiths opera, "The
Fencing Master" was put on at the
Grand last night for the first half Of the
week by the Boston Lyric company.
Taken as a whole the rendition Of the
opera, which is a faYorite with st. Paul
theater patrons, was creditable, but not
up to the high standard maintained by
the company in the other presentations
during the engagement.
Mr.. Henderson, the comedian, as the
bogus Duke of Milan. has no such OPP
portunity for the display of his talent
as is afforded in either THE Idols Eye"
or Wang" The story told in THE
Fencing Master" is of the adventures of
Fortunio, the rightful heir to the throne
as the Duke of Milan, and of Galeazzo
Viscuti, the fraudulent duke, who, pow
erty-stricken, secures the aid Of a wan
dering aStrologer in a search for
wealthy bride. A portion of the plot is
the attempted assassination of Fortunio,
who, when he returns to claim his
throne, is induced to undertake a trip
to Venice, and supplied with documents
to deliver, Which, If found in his posses
sion, will cause his arrest and execu-
ton. He Isl followed by Francesca,
daughter of; the court fencing master in
the disguise of a youth, who prevents the
execution of the plot and wins the love
of Fortunio, who had been enamored of
Filippa, ward Of the duke.
AS Filippa, Miss Bertha Davis sus-
tanned her laurels in solo in the mid
die of the second act, where she received
two encores.
In the opening of the second act
Messrs. Henderson and Kunkel had an
opportunity to please the audience with
some of their choice work as comedians
in a serenade song.
The Mother Hubbard chorus was one
of the winning features OF the perform
ance. In theslast act the chorus appears
in an entirely new and somewhat sensa-
tlenal dress known as the Mother Hub
bard and carried the house away.
Col. Thompson has not forgotten that
any performance is made better and is
better appreciated if the performers are
well dressed, and the whole company
changes dress with every act. Neither
skill nor expense has been spared in the
get up of the costumes Worn by the Bos-
ton Lyric company, and the fact is ap-
preciated by the patrons of the perform
ances. Notwithstanding the threatening
weather last night the house was filed
to its capacity, and the company salts
lied the audience in every respect.
A change Of bill will occur Thursday
evening, and the company will be seen for
the balance of the week in Richard
StahFs tuneful opera Said Pasha." Next
week is announced the return engagement
of the popular Valentine stock company,
which has just filed a most successful
engagement in Winnipeg. Man. The pay
to be presented for the first half Of the
week will be The Jilt.'

DESTROY THE wEEDs.

This is the time of year when. if the
waste places and by-ways Of the city
of St Paul are to be made presentable
next summer, IT Is absolutely essential
to destroy the noxious weeds which grow
SO profusely upon every vacant spot OF
ground The city authorities are doing
something in this matter by sending out
men to cut weeds on the boulevards and
along the edges of sidewalks In the out
skirts OF the city, but this disposes of
but small portion of the pest.
No matter in which direction person
may travel from the center Of the city to
the suburbs, his sense of order and
cleanliness and his aesthetic tastes will
be shocked by the sight of acres of thriy-
ing weeds. Almost every vacant lot ia
overrun with wild hemp, Russian thistle
and score of other noxious weeds.
which are row bearing a full crop Of
ripening seeds.
One such weed destroyed now will pre-
vent hundreds Of weeds next year, and
the man who makes one weed grow
where two grew before Is benefactor
of the community.

FOREIGN NEWS NOTES.

The word compound" which is used
frequently in. the war dispatches from
China, means an inclosure. In that coun-
try and Japan 1t is customary to build
high brick walls around factories, busi-
ness houses, banks and residences for
protection, and these are the compound
mentioned.
A Liverpool England paper states that
a company formed in Liverpool and Man
chester proposes to carry out a scheme Of
rapid transit invented by Mr.. Behr.
The line is to be monorail, with no inter-
mediate station between the two cities,
and with no crossing. The speed is to be
100 miles an hour, and cars are to be run
every ten minutes. The time of transit
between the two cities is expected to be
twenty minutes.
Half dozen London clubs of impor-
lance have complained bitterly that their
bar receipts are falling off discouragingiy
since their members came to accept as
the proper beverage for summer what
is now the popular London drink. This IS
made Of barley water, properly mixed
with lemon, sugar and ice, and 1t origi-
mated in the Guards cub house. It's fame
spread from that headquarters. and other
clubs were not, slow In borrowing the
recipe. The barley water combination
gained favor wherever it was introduced,
and this is not believed to be wholly due
to the fact that it is distributed gratui-
tously. None Of the clubs which offer
their members this refreshment charges
anything for 1t. The consequence is that
Scotch and soda, brandy with the same
combination and all similar heating alco-
holic and more expensive drinks have
ceased to be called for.

WHERE STORMS FORM.
Nine Kinds OF Them, and Most
Originate In Alberta.

Nine Kinds OF Them, and Most
Originate In Alberta
Theodore Walters In AInslee's.
United States storms, according to
Prof. Bigelow, have nine average places
of generation. The great majority form
in Alberta, north OF Montana. and after
coming into the United States, travel
eastward. A few come in over the
North Pacific coast. A third group forms
on the northern Rocky mountain
plateau. A fourth forms in
Colorado, being born on the very high
mountainous elevations A fifth forms
In the Texas lowlands, and catching the
gulf winds and moisture moves eastward.
West Indian hurricanes form the sixth
class The South Atlantic coast storms
make UP the seventh class. Storms
which come in from the Pacific on the
southwest form the eighth, and finally
a class of minor storms is generated in
our central valleys. Some OF these
storms come across the Pacific from the
Asian coast, and after sweeping across
the country, go out over the Atlantic to
Europe, and even to Asia again. but
there is no record Of a storm having cir
COMMUNICATED the globe. But no matter
where these storms are generated, they
always converge toward New England
New England, in fact, seems to be the
stormiest spot in the United States. A
record Of ten years ending with 1893
shows LAB storms, all of which headed
toward, and most of which reached, New
England.
'The forecast. must consider the gen.
eral confguration Of the country In recI6-
oning for cold or hot waves, billiards.,
northers, and other manifestations pecu-
liar to certain localities. An inexpert-
enced prophet might predict, for instance,
a long record for peculiar class of Pa

til they strike the Rocky mountains,
when, in endeavoring to climb the divide,
they are dried out and dissipated in the

through and head wildly for New Eng
land. But the forecaster must know Of
these storm gateways. He must reckon
with the climatic properties of the Cold
Pole of temperate America, that pecu-
liar region surrounding Lake Winnipeg
where the range of temperature is $50
degrees, the thermometer rising to los
degrees above in summer and dropping to
As degrees below zero in winter As
Prof. BigelOw put it, the giants Of heat
and cold stagger back and forth across

the forecaster must be a good Judge Of

to comprehend the motives for It. To
the American officers with whom he has
talked, the archbishop has said that the
heads OF the leaders should be cut off.
There Is little doubt that the raroled Of
hcers In Manila are in communication
with the brethren in the field. Those
who are released from prison, many Of
them, at least, are taking up arms again.
Gen. Young shipped to Manila two or
three hundred prisoners whom he con-
sidered the most dangerous characters.
Gen. Otis reloaded them on the steamer
and sent them back north, where they
were disembarked to follow their own
Wills. Most Of them soon drifted back
into the insurgent camps.
Archbishop Chappelle has taken no un-
certain stand on the question Of tho
friars. which the Filipino people regard
as the keynote OF all their troubles. Tho
archbishop has expressed his opinion
freely to many officers and civilians with
whom he has talked, although he de-
clines to give any formal interviews for
publication His conclusions summe rized
are these:
That the Filipinos owe to the monastio
brotherhood all the education and civill-
zation they possess; that It would be a
great injustice to the friars TO expel
them from the field wherein they have
worked for centuries or to deprive them
Of the estates which they have acquired
honestly and have administered for the
public good; that 1t would be impossible
to replace them with other priests, be-
cause there is no other clerical force, ac-
quafnted with the country and the lam
guage Of the people, and the Filipino
priests are not competent to hold any but
subordinate positions In the church; that
the opposition to the friars Is an arti-
fetal propaganda, fostered by the in
surgents, and by the Filipino priests,
who are themselves leaders in the insur-
reotion, and are using it to obtain con-
troll Of the church IN the islands.

There had been no talk about lightning

SO. Instead, he got himself into a com.

said O''0f' =
She handed me the exchange, and as I
offered her the three cents she denurred
against having go many pennies left on
her hand.
Let me have the two pennies I gave
you first exclaimed, and I'll give you
this nickel
THE exchange was effected and I
thought the transaction was closed, and
was starting away when she called after
me.
Here, you've cheated me out Of two
cents. I've given you two cents too
much
''Of course she hadn't, as you can see
for yourself, but it took me five minutes
to convince her OF the fact. And only
succeeded then because when she got on
the car she had only ten cents, and after
all the maneuvering over the fare and
the exchange she had a nickel left AS I
made my way back to the rear platform
1 couldn't help wondering what a learn

would have done under the circum-
stances"

for three exchanges and four straight

Give it up. What did he do?''
Pulled out pencil and an old en-
velope and nluitT.Ied eight by three and
added twenty. Then he substracted the
total from the dollar and by that means
found out how much change he should
give back. Say, that old lady up there
wouldn't have done thing but got him
so ratified he'd have given up the two
cents she claimed"
And the lightning calculator conductor
grinned at the very thought Of 1t.
