Narrow Escape.

During a storm in Minneapolis the top
OF the new Andrus building, Fifth street
and N1collet avenue, was struck and
large rock, weighing about IL pounds,
was loosened. 1t fell to Fifth street and
struck the top of an A. D. r. hack, driv-
en- by "Jim" Lindsay.
The driver was on his way from Sec
ond avenue south to the West hotel, the
occupant of this hack being woman.
The rock nearly struck the driver. but in
stead landed squarely on top Of the hack,
just behind the seat. It crashed through
the top with a loud noise and landed in
the seat.
Fortunately for the occupant. she was
sitting on the opposite seat. and was not
struck by the large missile Although
severely frightened by her unusual ex-
perience. she was uninjured, and the only
damage was that done to the hack.

AUSTRALIANS FREE LUNCH.

tifully Served.

The free lunch system of the United
States is thoroughly American insti-

it fourishes at least as luxuriantly as
its parent insthe great republic. There
aperson purchasing a glass of beer at
an inn or restaurant may supplement
it, free of change, with q cut from q
joint or a choice of dishes, says the San
Francisco Examiner.
Australia has, of course, the important
advantage. ofsmeat atnext to nothing,
although, it should be added, your Sgd
ney or Melbourne restaurateur charges
you quite as, much for your meal as it
would cost you at an adjustment of
a similar character in London or Paris.
The injury, therefore, that has been
worked upon the ordinary caterer by
the rapid extension of the free lunch
business may be gauged from the fact
that there are at present in Sydney
several first-class hotels where. by pur-
chasing sixpenny drink, you may
partake of cold luncheon the equal of

ASSAULT AND BATTERY
w. II. MARSHALL FINED TWENTY
FIVE DOLLARS.
Judge Wilcox Has a Brief Dialogue
on the Subject of Taking the Law in
Ones own Hands.

There were over 40 cases on Judge
WilcoX's calendar today and over 81
yesterday, making two busy mornings
for the court. Today's calendar was
full of cases that were expected to re-
suit in some lively contests and there
was a big crowd on hand, but most
of the defendants pleaded guilty.
The drunls We're called first. Among
them were two men from the tug Iro-
quos who had celebrated too well their
return from lonely Midway Island.
Another was Frank Lawless, who was
to plead and was so drunk again that
he was locked up on another charge,
and the first case went over.
William H. Marshall pleaded guilty
to assault and battery on Chester Doyle
the Japanese interpreter. Marshall
made his plea and said he had no eX-
PLANTATION to offer. 1t appeared that
Doyle had been assaulted while stand
ing. on the corner of King and Fort
streets, Marshall suddenly appearing on
the scene and making rush for him.
Doyle said he had no idea what it was
all about, Marshall vouchsafed no eN-
PLANTATION. The judge asked him if it
was a case of mistaken identity and the
defendant shook his head. A fine of
$25 and costs was imposed.
Mr.. Marshall states that the reason
| he assaulted Doyle was that he had
!
| in connection with some San Francis
co matter. Doyle denies that he ever
! talked about Marshall and says that
The knows no reason for the humping
Marshall gave him.
There is or was one II. G.. Marshall
in California whose reputation consist
ed chiefly of carrying six shooters and
causing endless trouble. The local
| Marshall says he has in this case and
in others been blamed for the sins of
that man.
j. Emmeluth was also up for assault
and battery, the complaining witness
being j. Il. Hardup, who drives a hack.
Emmeluth pleaded guilty but said he
had meant the blows for someone else.
Hardup had an ugly cash on his cheek
where he had been struck with whip.
1--WE can't have people taking the law
into their own hands that way" said
the judge. IF we do everyone will soon
be carrying guns"
"There are certain times when every
man takes the law into his own hands,
said Emmeluth. He had struck at
Hardup's passengers who, he said, had
grossly insulted him.
The Judge imposed a fine of $25, with
another admonition about keeping the
law.
I'm a case like that | shal always
take the law into my own hands" said
the defendant, as he turned to pay the
/ fine.
And we shall always be here to fine
you" said the judge as Emmeluth left
the court after remarking that he was
willing to pay,
There were several other assault and
battery cases on the calendar Charles
Halsen, John West and James Gamer
son were convicted of assaulting sam
Stone, and sentenced to pay $2j each
]. West and James Cameron were also
charged by Palmapa, but the cases
were nolle pressed. j. Gordon and j
II. Mcpherson were up for assault and
battery on ]. Houghtailing, and the
judge assessed them $l5 each for max
ing the attack.

A COLLEGE PLAN

In President Hosmer's annual report
of the work of Oahu College, he says,
that the rapidly increasing number of
pupils and students in the various de-
partments will necessitate the erection
within a short time of a number of
Dew buildings. FIe suggests that
all new building operations should be
conducted on a we'll -thought-out archi-
turaI plan. In this connection he says
that the Phoebe Hearst plan for the
University of California will furnish an
inspiration. In connection with his re-
port he gives a plan of the grounds
showing something of the topography
of them, with a suggestive plan for the
arrangement of the buildings, which he
modestly puts forward simply as "a
suggestive plan for something better"

LEADERS OF THAT PARTY LEAVE
ON THE KINAU.
viii Tell Natives of Big Island All
About Politics-That Deal with the
Democrats.

The leaders of the Independent party,
Robert Wilcox. James X. Kaulia and
David Kalauokalani, left by the Kinau
to-day for the Island of Hawaii. 1t is
their intention to make acomplete tour
of that island and to reach Maui by the
last of the month.
In connection with this trip has come
out story of bad blood between Will
cox and kaulia. The trouble from all
accounts. has been brewing for some
time. 1t seems that Kaulia has become
exceedingly jealous of WilcoN's popu-
larity among the natives. At the same
time Kaulia, as head of the Aloha Alma
Society and manipulator of a large
number of votes, is a thorn in the flesh
of Wilcox. Members of the Independent
party are eXerting every effort to pre-
vent an open rupture between the two
leaders, the result of which is readily
apparent to them.
The efforts at combine" between the
Democrats and Independents have been
traced to conversations between Prince
David and John Wise on the one side,
and Kaulia and Wilcox on the other.
No regularly formed propositions were
made. In fact, as neither Prince David
nor John Wise are members of the
Democratic Central Committee, they
had no power to make any, and were
merely talking as members of the party.

NAIVESARElNORGANIZEDA Stroke Of PARALYSIS.
MISFORTUNE BEFALLs LAWYER
j. NJ. WAS.
Stricken While Walking in the Streets
Now at the Sanitarium-Hopes of
Ultimate Recovery.

j. NJ. Vivas, the well-known Portu-
guese lawyer, real estate man and lead
er among his people, is lying at the Ho-
nolulu Sanitarium in a very bad condi-
tion from a paralytic stroke sustained
last Friday. He is able to talk al
though his right side is gone.
Mr.. Viyas experienced a slight para
lytic stroke on the same side some time
ago, but it only affected the face. On
Friday afternoon he was stricken very
suddenly while walking on the streets.
He was first taken to his home and sub
sequentlg moved to the sanitarum.
This stroke, while dangerous, of course,
will probably not prove fatal. In fact
the patient has improved considerably
in the past two days. What the after
effects may be it is hard yet to say,
though the physicians are hopeful that
the vitality of the arm and leg may be
fully preserved.
The sick man is an old resident of the
Islands, having come here among the
very first Portuguese settlers. He has
for years been one of the most influen-
tial men in the Latin colony. For a
number of years, after the overthrow
of the monarchy, he was Portuguese
Interpreter in the courts. In May. 1894,
he was a member of the Constitutional
Convention, and did good work therein.
Only a few weeks ago he was offered a
place on the Oahu Board of Reglstra-
tion but declined it.
