WHY 1T HAS THREE HANDLES.
An Explanation of the Loving Cups
Popularity.
From the Keystone.

From the keystone.
A correspondent recently wrote the edi-
tor of the Keystone. asking how it hap
pened that loving cups mostly have three
handles 1t may be interesting reading
to see how this is explained:
II seems that there is some doubt both
as to the origin of the cup and the raison
deter of the three handles. One surmise
is that the loving cup originated in Italy.
where II happened not infrequently that
hosts stabbed their guests or poisoned
them at friendly banquets. From this is
evolved a reason for the three handles.
The host drank from the cup first. this
act showing that the liquor in the cup
was not poisoned; then, holding il by two
Of the handles, he passed it to his friend
on the left His two hands being occu-
pied. he could not stab his friend; and
as his friend took one handle in his right
hand he would have been put to incon-
venience to stab his host with his left
hand.

sador at Paris. used TO relate the follow

HONOLULU's LIQUOR FIGHT.
A Hard Fight Being Made on the
PrOposed Dispensary Law.

Honolulu, April 9. via San Francisco,
April 1.-THE territorial legislature is
now in the midst of hard fight over the
proposed liquor dispensary law. The bill
has been before Senate in various stages
for several days. and committee reports
for and against ii have been made The
campaign has developed into a very Bit
ter one, and there are many charges of
a corruption fund circulated by the liquor
interests. 1t will be some days
before final vote is reached in
the Senate. and then the fight will
reach the lower house: Party lines have
completely broken on the subject. The
House has killed bill to make the old
flag of the Hawaiian nation the terri
torial emblem, on the ground that it is
not the rule for territories of the United
States to have flags of their own. The
bill to allow the ex-Queen $4,000 a year
as a pension has two substitutes, one pro-
posing to give her $4,000 in lump sum
and the other to make at this time an
appropriation of $4,000 for her for the
next two years. Most of the Independents

A MINERS INVASION.
Indiana Miners Preparing to Coerce
Kentucky NOn-uniOn Men.


Darlington. KY, April 17.-Information
received here tonight from two independ-
ent sources in Southern Indiana says the
union miners of that coal field are pre-
pairing for an armed invasion of Hopkins
county this week. The information is be-
lieved to be from wholly reliable sources.
1t states that the miners of Southern In
diana had notified the operators after
Thursday afternoon they would not work
any more for three days, and that the
mines would lie idle from that time. They
did not say for what purpose, but 1t Is
believed that the shut down is for the
purpose of marching into Kentucky and
Hopkins county to terrify and coerce the
moi, union miners of this county so they
will cease work. The Indiana operators
have some contracts that need daily at
tention and demanded that the miners
should rot sacrifice these. The miners
then agreed to leave enough men at work
to fill these contracts and lay the rest
off
late message from Bonneville says
sixty men there had been buying guns
and pistols with the avowed purpose of
going to Hopkins county.

ANIMALS RIGHT TO WARNING.
They Are Entitled to Have the LO-
connective whistle Sounded

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The old dispute as to whether animals
can be said to reason has been given
practical importance by a recent decision
of the. Iowa Supreme Court Graybill
brought suit against the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul Railway for killing stock
at crossing. 1t was shown that the en-
glneer had failed to warn the animals by
whistiing. The railway company contend
ed that the whistle signal required by law
was intended only for the protection of
human beings. The court, however, in
structed the jury that animals were also
entitled to such warning, and a verdict
was returned for the plaintiff
This provision" said Judge Thornell.
in the lower court, lis for the safety of
persons and animals near the crossing
ana about to cross, to warn them of the
approach of the train and to enable them
to avoid injury" The railway company
excepted to this instruction, and appealed
to the Supreme Court The Supreme
Court sustained the instruction and in an
opinion by Justice Sherwin held that ami
mas have sufficient reasoning power to
enable them to recognize the approach of
danger and takes measures to avoid it.
The rule of evidence thus established Is
evidently detrimental to the railways, for
it requires them to be as careful in warn
ing animals OF the approach of their
trains as they have been in warning men.
1t makes failure to give the statutory
warning because no human being now in
danger no longer eXcusabie. The Iowa at
torney for the railway has fled an elabo-
rate argument for rehearng, in which he
denies that animals possess the faculties
ascribed to them. He admits that they
may be frightened by locomotive wills
tie. He denies the possibility of convey
ing by such means information which the
animals can turn to account for their own
safety
No careful observer OF the conduct OF
animals will agree with the railway COM
pany's contention. No one honored with
the friendship of an intelligent dog doubts
that the dog fears punishment, seeks re-
ward, and is sensitive to praise or rldl-
Guile. That animals recognize at least
proximate causes Of pleasant or unpeas-
ant effects seems pretty well esta blished
They learn the consequences 10 them
selves OF such pleasure or dspleasure.
That they learn by experience to avoid
danger is unquestioned. That they may
be moved by sounds or gestures to recon
from a danger of whose nature they are
ignorant IL tolerably clear.
There seems 10 be no reason why AMI
mails habitually near q railway may not
learn that a locomotive whistle means
danger. II they can 80 learn, they are
certainly entitled 10 the protection given
by such informa lion. Unti their innbili-
~ to 30 learn IL established they are at
least entitled 10 the benefit OF the doubt
The Iowa Supreme Courts ruling VIII be
approved by every friend Of animals. the
ground II takes II that toward when
