A LIVELY SATURDAY NIGHT.
Proved by the Police Court Record and
Testimony.

Judged by the record and the evil
dence in the police court yesterday
morning, there was high old time in
town Saturday night. There was a sue
cession of fights and disturbances in the
neighborhood of the Criterion saloon
in one of which a National Guard Cap
tain in full uniform was mixed up and
got a cut over his eye. Out of another
urawl the police arrested F. Remmil-
lard and N. Jackson and the court fined
them $25 each. Marshal Brown asked for
severe fines, because he said that
neighborhood had lately become such
a danger point of Saturday night
brawls and disturbances that it had be-
come a standing order to have three
of the best officers on duty there to
guell them, and he wanted this growing
tendency broken up.
Charles Norton and companion
named Nicholson were given sixty days
each on the reef for being on the pre-
misses of another in the night time
without lawful excuse, the Judge giving
them a lecture to the effect that men
such as the testimony showed them to
be, would not be permitted to go into
peoples yards and insult and black
guard them, if there was any virtue in
stiff sentences when they were found
guilty.
There was long list of drunks at
50 and costs each; Claude Jesus and
Nicodemus Richard were each sent to
the reef for five days for playing craps
on the veranda of the Kakaako Kinder
garten.
Sam Kalua got a month for punctur-
ing the tires of his bicycle and repair
ing the accident by taking James F.
Morgans.

PLIGHT OF THE INPOUNDtD
FEEDING OF ESTRAYS A MATTER
OF CONSCIENCE.
The Officers for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals are Helping out
The Poundmaster's Conscience.

The Government pound has itself be-
come source of care and an object of
watchfulness on the part of those in
terested i'm the prevention of cruelty to
animals. There are a lot of animals
there now which the owners have prac-
tically abandoned. Under the law they
have to be kept fifteen days before
they can be sold. Whether they are fed
or not during that time depends on the
pound master. And he is in the posi-
ton that every time he feeds them, the
cost of the feed is just so much taken
from his remuneration as pound master.
However, Mrs. Craft is watching both
Jhe pound master and the animals, 50
it is probable that this lot at least will
be fed.
Under the law the pound master gets
no salary. He is provided with mouse,
and he gets his compensation out of the
sale of estrays that have been in the
pound for fifteen days. out of this, by
law he is obliged to feed the animals.
The last legislature reduced the fee for
taking up an estray from fifty cents to
twenty-five cents. As a result fewer
estrays are taken up, and in conse-
quenCe the number of animals to be
sold is lessened, and with it the pound
masters compensation. The pound
master complains that the amount he
gets out of it is now so small as t.
amount to no compensation at all, and
he has two or three times tried to re-
sign.
The Minister of Interior under whose
department the pound exists has per.
suaded him to keep on for a while yet
bat it is a constant struggle with him
to keep his conscience up to the point
of feeding the animals properly, at a
reduction of his compensation which
he claims is practically nil and letting
them go without as much food as they
ought to have, and thereby adding the
cost of the food to the poundmaster's
income.
SO far it is to be presumed impound-
ed animals have not gone too hungry
because no arrests on that score have
been made for cruelty to animals. But
Mrs. Craft is constantly watching them
and has had several conferences with
the Minister of Interior, to see if some
other arrangement cannot be made in
regard to impOunded animals by which
a better system, or at least one that she
will feel sure will secure proper feeding
cannot be adopted.

STILL SCAVENGING.
Suggestion by Which the Practice
Could be Stopped

The scavenging from the dumps and
even from the dump carts, still goes on.
Instances of it are constantly being
brought to notice. w. e. Lee writes
to say that Sunday January 2S, he saw
the driver of one of the government
rubbish carts throw off a guaranty
of rubbish from his load on the way
to the dumps and have it taken TO
his own home. When eXpostulated
with he said his boss told him he might.
This rubbish comes from everywhere
and may have come from the Pantheon
saloon or stables. Mr.. Lee suggests
that as it is a misdemeanor to dump
rubbish anywhere than on the author
lied dumping grounds taking it off
carts and taking it home or even TAX
ing it away from the dumping grounds
is in fact depositing rubbish else
where than on authorized dumping
grounds, and a stop could be put to
the dangerous practice complained Of
by enforcing the regulations to this ex-
tent.

gage Advice.

It is not often that a lawyer gives better advice, and asks no fee for it. than was once given by certain Irish judge, who must have had both a sense of justice and a sense of humor. A turbulent peasant was witness in a trial before Chief Baron O'Grady. The counsel. after pesterng him for some time, put a question to him which re- aeeted on the witness character. If ye ax me that again, I'll give ye a kicki' was the answer. The counsel appealed to the court, stating that an answer was necessary to his clients case, and ending up with the query: What would your lordship advise me to do?" If you are resolved to repeat the question" replied the court, "Fd advise you to move little from the witness

CURIOUS AlBtNo TREE.
One Discovered Growing in q Garden k
 London.

One Discovered Growing in Garden ia
 London.
 Much interest has been caused lately by the appearance of a horse chestnut tree in the Thiergarten. The namer- ous branches around the lower part of the trunk have a pure white foliage, such as is seen on trees growing in dark places. where no chlorophyn can develop on account of want of light. fFhe same Whiteness of the leaves is also noticeable in a few of the neigh boring branches through the crown to the top. People are often puzzled as to the cause of the peculiarity. and many strange explanations are some times given. The singular appearance Of the tree has been noticed regularly for some years. This particular tree, 1t seems, had been attacked by swarm of eaterpiHars and other erea- tures of the same species. and the foliage had already been destroyed; but still masses of caterpinars contin- ued to crawl up and down the trunk. and finally clung there in Jumps. To preserve the beautiful tree, after other means had been tried in vain. solu- tien of acid was used, and the ground all around was watered with it, as well as the trunk and the branches, which were specially drenehed This treatment proved successful. The tree gradually recovered, and now stands in its full strength and freshness. but has ever since shown the already de- seribed whiteness of it's leaves, which presents a by no means unpleasant contrast to the otherwise dark green foliage.--London Standard.

 Tn the Colon cemetery at Havana where the American seamen who per- ished in the Maine catastrophe are buried. in striking contrast to the rev erence displayed by Anglo-Saxen peo- ales for the burial places of their dead, there has been for more than two een- turies a human bone pit. Exposed to The glare of the sun, the mercy of the rains. there have lain for yeas the frames of those who c1ce lived and loved. says the New York Herald This famous pit was first dug by Don Pedro Yaldes, in the year 1902, and from that day to this has been the re- eeptaele for the skeletons of the Cu ban dead. It is 110 feet square and twenty feet deep filed to the twenty fcot level. An eight-foot stone wall incloses 1t from the morbidly curious, and in external appearance it resem- bles an antiquated Spanish fortress or barracks. The old Spanish custom of renting graves, none being able to buy outright, in Colon cemetery, easily ex- plains the necessary existence of the snia. , A man dies, Is buried in a rented grave, forgotten in short tf1ae, the rent unpaid one year-his bones are dug and thrown among his ances- tors in tbe mass of dead humanity; the grave, being already open, is held to receive the next body A careful es- innate, no record having been kept puts the number of human skeletons in the pit at 100000 When one realizes tbat the pit is nearly 300 years old, and the average life of man is a little less than thirty years, Hayana's popula- ton for the last 100 years being more than 100000, 1t Is quite plausible that the estimate is most conservative. In some cases the coffin and all have been dumped into the "pit" and left to the depredations of the vulture or buzzard. the seavengers of Havana.
