Those excellent people who do little else
but find fault may be expected to be filled
with indignation because the Philippine
commission has provided that religious
teachers may occupy the schoolrooms for
religious teaching, the understanding being
that the school children will attend. While
Professionals will have the same rights as
Catholics, the concession Is made to people
who are Catholics. 1t seems to be a con-
cession necessary to secure the co-opera-

The protest Of American holders of Brit
ish government bonds residing in this coun-
try against the payment of British income
tax seems to be well founded. There is
some reason in requiring Americans re-
siding in England to pay tax on their en-
tire income. from whatever source derived.
but the principle does not seem to apply to
Americans living in the United States
end deriving income from British securi-
ties. The British claim certainly pushes

a RULING ON EXPENSE ITEMS.
An Official at Home Cannot He Paid
Travelling Accounts.

Robert J. Tracewen. Comptroller of the

regarding the personal expenses OF Fred

of the Paris Exposition Commission. Mr..
Bracket. on several expense items which
were disrilowed by the Auditor for The
State and other Departments. appealed ~
the Comptroller of the Treasury. Re
garding travelling and living expenses.
which items Mr.. Tracewell decided Mr..
Bracket is not entitled TO. the Comp
troiler in his opinion, which is very ex-
haustive and interesting. said:
The uniform practice of the accounting
officers in constituting the act of March ).
1870 has been to hold that a person can
not be paid travelling expenses under it
while he was at his home. official station,
or headquarters, the theory being that he
cannot travel while at these places. In
order to be entitled to he reimbursed for
travelling expenses under this statute it
has always been held, and correctly so,
that the status of the person teeking re-
endorsement for travelling expenses under
it must be that of traveller Gas contradis-
tinguished from that of a person living at
home or with his family.
when person rents an apartment
hires servants, sets a common table. pays
the expenses in connection Herewith in
common with his own expenses. and does
all acts usually done by a householder,
and makes no attempt to keep his indi-
yidual expenses separate from those of his
family, he must be held to abandon his
status as traveller within the meaning of
this statute. His expenses become COM
mon expenses. and are not Invisible, and
il is impracticable to determine what his
actual individual expenses are for any
given period while so living. He enjoys
the comforts Of home and family and is
not put to the extraordinary expense of
travel that is contemplated by the act
above quoted. Whether such place be
called his homo or not. he has abandoned
his status as a traveller. presumably for
his own convenience. and cannot while so
living he allowed travelling expenses.
When he so lives and keeps his ac-
counts as to bring an element into their
audit that is entirely foreign to the du-
ties of the accounting officers to settle. it
will be assumed that by so mixing his ac-
counts he abandons his right to reim-
bursement for any portion of the ex-
penses incurred during such period He
cannot be permitted to live and keep his
as householder and the head OF
a family and account for his travelling eX-
penses as part Of the common expense
of maintaining said household at the sam
time. The two relations are inconsistent
and having chosen the one that he will as

its consequences.

A UNIQUE MARRIAGE.
Chinese Bride Was Married While
Her Husband Was Abroad.

The Gretna Green of Honolulu may bt
found at No. 80 South King Street, up
stairs The lawyer who occupies offices
there was employed recently by the
friends of a Chinese maiden who arrived
last week on the China steamer to join
her husband.
The marriage ceremony. it seems, had
been performed in China, while the bride
groom was in Honolulu. and although it
was a valid marriage according to Chinese
laws. Judge EStee intimated. while the
evidence was being given, that 1t was a
somewhat Iong-range marriage according
to American ideas, with 5000 miles or
more of ocean rolling between the lovers.
and no telephone communication.
The case while on trial was adjourned
from Wednesday to Friday, and on
Thursday under the advice of counsel,
the parties sought to tighten the slack
chains, and accordingly a license was pro-
cured and the clients met by chance the
usual way in the lawyers office, where.
with all due solemnity. the Orient bride
was married Mclean style to her lord.
There were no flowers, no cards, no cake.
no wine. but an orange might have been
tossed down the throat of the groom.
When the trial was resumed the certifi-
cate of marriage was offered and objected
on the ground that the case had to be de-
termined by the facts which existed when
the girl landed, and these facts could not
now be changed by marriage here The
district attorney suggested that the Uni
ted States marshal be instructed by the
court to hereafter deny opportunities to
prisoners in his charge to load up with
domestic felicity.
Mr.. Fitch replied that either the status
of the parties in court was changed by a
contracted pendente lite, or 1T
was not. If changed. the advantage to
the girl was legitimate and honorable
one II not changed. then it did not in
lure the United States and was great
comfort to the recipients.
