Where Women Can Learn From Men.

-
Where Women 9 Learn From Men.
Women when i'll suffer more from
the indiscretion and the over-atten-
tiveness of friends than do men; they
are i'll the more often, for one reason.
Then, too, men do not visit one an
other in sickness so much as women
do, not being fond, in fact, of the
sick-room in any capacity. See a man
call upon his afflicted friend, and ten
to one his wife or other female mentor
sent him, and that at considerable
outlay of rhetoric. Herein a mar
shows at once his wisdom and his
selfshness. Common sense and OBJ
servation, if not actual painful ex-
perience, have taught him that a man
sick is like a wounded animal, which
drags itself to one quiet, sequestered
spot to die or to endure alone; he
wants only his family about him, and
he wants them to be unoficious. He
knows, too, that a sick man is not
entertaining; and as for stopping a
whole afternoon to gossip with any
other visitors who might drop in, the
idea is preposterous; the sick man
would never permit it, anyway

SENSATION AT HONOLULU.
Arbitrary Act OF Judge Estee Brings
Up Question OF Ownership Of
Public Buildings.

HONOLULU. Aug. 1l.-(via San
Francisco. Aug. 1S)-United States
Judge NJ. NJ. Estee has arrived here
and opened his court, and one Of his
! first acts was to make an order seizing
a court room for his own use the local
authorities not having provided him
with one.
Judge Estee ordered United States
Marshal Ray to take possession Of a
room which has been the court Of Cir
cult Judge Slliman The order from
Judge Estee came after a good deal Of
correspondence had passed between
his honor and Superintendent of Pub
lie Works McCandless, regarding the
finding Of quarters for the United
States court. The order has created a
great sensation among the legal frater-
nifty. It has raised the point whether
the United States or the Territory OF
Hawaii is the owner OF public build
lngs here. The matter will have to be
decided at Washington.
United States Judge Estee is ioing
quite large business in natural.zing
citizens. Many old residents OF the ISL
ands never changed their allegiance
from the country Of their birth and
are now taking advantage Of the OPP
portunity offered by the United States
court A majority of the new citizens
are Of English birth.
The British bark Dunreggan. which
arrived here on the Sth. after a
voyage of 145 days from London. went
ashore on the reef of Diamond Head.
She lay humping on the rocks for near
iy two days, after which she was pulled
of by the combined efforts of three
tugs and her own windlass. She is
now safely docked in the harbor. with
leak in her bottom. but no very SER
ious damage.

SUMMER RESORTS.

ITO the mountains our people In in
ereasing numbers yearly look for those
days Of relaxation and recreation nec-
essary to maintain the human ma
chine in fair working condition. The
languorous sloth Of the seashore proves
very seductive while 1t lasts. but
many have decided that the an
nual outing should provide not only
radical change OF air and surround
ings, but also such stimulation OF
hagging energies as will provide Drawn
and vigor for the return to labor. For
this they urge the mountain climb and
ramble. the balsam OF the mountain
pines. and the clear. unadultorated
mountain air.
in this direction the Shasta Route
now affords a wealth Of attractions.
The entire line Of road from Ashland
to Redding is studded with charming
and accessible hotels and camps. where
are cheer and comfort and healing at
reasonable cost. and where you can
hunt. fish. ride. loaf. or play with
equal facility.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1S.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
Perhaps IL London had been fuller or
II the weather had been cooler. or IL
we had not all been satisfied with SEN
satlons OF one kind or another for
months. the news Of the relief Of the
Pelin legations might have aroused
some popular excitement. But, though
the event has been very anxiously
awaited in the clubs. public offices and
the West End--all places which are more
or less deserted by their habitues just
now-the man in the street lakes the
matter quietly. London. which went
raving mad over the rescue OF Baden
Powell's few hundred colonial troops

cheer for the women and children at
Pekin saved from Chinese cut threats.
But. then. the contradictory reports
about the legations have left the public
in n state OF complete bewilderment.
so that they do not know what to be-
lleve. The Pekin foreigners have been
massacred and revived so often in the
kilograms Of the newspapers and news
agencies that at length some people
have begun to doubt whether they ever
were in danger at all.
It is not believed that the leaders Of
the antiforelgn movement have sur
rendered to the allies commanders.
More probably Prince Tuan and his as
sociates. accompanied by the empress
dowager. have retired to the west, un-
der the protection Of General Tung
Fuh Siang's Mahommedan troops.
The muddle made over the landing
Of Indian troops at Shanghai has con-
tinued to the end and caused a great
deal Of Indignation in mercantile and
financial circles. where 1t was feared
that the vacillatlon Of the imperial gov
eTnment might do serious mischief to
their interests and prestige in China.
After refusal Of Viceroy Liu at the
instigation Of the French and Russian
consuls, to couatenance the landing Of
troops. the transports at Woo Sung
from Hong Kong were kept in waiting
for couple Of days while the British
foreign office considered the matter fur
ther. On Thursday morning the ad-
miral was ordered to take the troops to
Wei Hal Wei. He accordingly steamed
away from the Yangtse amid the pro-
tests of the British and other foreign
residents. But no sooner had the ships
gone than a message was received order
ing them back and a torpedo boat was
despatched in pursuit Of the squadron.
Accordingly the transports returned to
the Yangtse and, 1t Is now said ere to
land their troops, or a portion Of them,
today. The effect on the Chinese can
not be good, nor has England gained
anything by the whole proceeding.
Nothing is officially known here as to
the alleged armistlce between China
and Japan, or the alleged separate ne
gotlations by the former power. It is
thought that what is meant may be
purely military convention between
the leader Of the japanese advance
guard and the Pekin authorities for a
step to be taken with reference to the
release Of the ministers and formal
entry into the city.
