DENMARK.


\ number of Danish capitalists are
ready to organize powerful company
for doing business in the Danish West
Indies if they are not sold to the Unit
ed States. One of the features of the
plan is the establishment of steam
ship line between Denmark and the
islands.
Compared with the English Ian
guage, for instance, Danish is very
pure language. But it is not pure
enough to suit the tastes of gentle
man who calls himself Per Sprogvild
and writes book which reminds us
of Elias Molee's efforts to ''purify" the
English language. 1t goes without
saying that Per Sprogvild wants to
kick out all foreign words. But even
host Of good Danish words are
passed by the board. TO him ma1y
Danish words are Objectionable sim
ply because they were constructed on
the same plan as the corresponding
German words. "Videnskab'' (sci-
ence) looks and sounds too much like
the German ''wissenschaft" to please
Per Sprogvild. and he suggests "vidst''
in place of it. Instead of ''historie'
he wants ''Sagd,' from the old word
saga" The author has sound basis
of linguistic knowledge to work on,
but he is, to use one of his new
words, too much of ''kuldvarp''
(revolutionist) to accomplish his pur-
pose.
The servant girls of Copenhagen
demand the right to vote at the bust
| ness meetings of their congregations.
At a large mass meeting they not
only aired their views on that sub
ject, but they also spoke many harsh
words about their grievances as a
class. Their leader is Miss Marie
Christensen, who is as heartily loved
by the girls as she is feared and hated
by the housewives of Copenhagen.
Georg Brandes, in discourse on
words, says that it is humiliating to
write such words as ''deputation' and
representation" but it must be Gone
because there are no corresponding
Danish words.
Kristian Dahl gives, over his own
signature, an instance of the dignity
of the movements of the machinery of
the municipal government of Copen-
hagen. The feet of Waterman at
the Vestervold entrance to the court
house are unduly exposed to- the cold
weather. The head janitor thinks the
man ought to have fur boots. He
makes a rough draft of Il letter which
his office clerk writes with great care
on a large sheet of paper. A copy is
made of the letter, which is registered
in the journal of the head janitor and
sent to the counting-room. Here it is
again registered, and when the chief
| clerk has made a thorough study Of
the subject he o. KS the document
and forwards it to Mayor Borup, who
| takes under advisemcnt whether he
alone should decide such an important
| matter or submit it to the entire ex-
ecutive board. If Mayor Borup chooses
! the first alternative he dictates re-
ply to the counting-room, and when
this reply is registered at the mayors
Office and the counting-room it is
passed to the chief janitor, who also
makes a careful register of it. Now
at last, the Waterman will get the
needed boots. if spring weather has
not set in or he is down with some
malady caused by exposure.

hotel for dinner and returning to the
courthouse, where the jurors remained
until O'Clock. They were again taken
to the hotel, where they remained until
without reaching an agreement. The
jury was again taken to quarters in the
Judiciary building at o'clock, and
shortly thereafter reported an agree
ment. Judge Estee and the attorneys
in the case were hastily summoned,
and the defendant was brought into
the courtroom, with the Japanese in-
terpreter. Shortly before 10 o'clock
court was reopened and Foreman Bis
sci reported that an agreement had
been reached.
The verdict was Immediately handed
to Clerk Mailing, who opened and read
it. 1t is in the following form:
United States of America, District of
Hawaii: In the district court of the
United States, in and for the district
and Territory of Hawaii:
THE United States OF America,
defendant: We, the jury in the above
entitled cause, duly impanelled and
sworn, do find the defendant, Tanbara
Gisaburo, guilty of murder in the man
ner and form as charged in the in
dictment.
''M. J. BISSEL. Foreman"
The verdict was interpreted to the
defendant, who seemed little effected
by it's reading, the jury being polled
and each man replying that the ver-
dict was his own. Tanbara's only con-
Germ appeared to be as to the name of
the foreman, M. ]. Bissel, whose name
was repeated to him several times. At
his request the foreman also handed
to Judge Estee the following recon-
mendation:
''It is the recommendation of this
jury that S. Otto, the cook of the
schooner Fred J. Wood, be held for in
vestigation by the next United States
grand jury on the charge of being an
accessory to the murder of Captain
Jorgen ]. Jacobsen"
Judge Estee made no comment upon
the report, saying that the recommen-
dation of the jury in regard to Oto
would be referred to the United States
district attorney for investigation. The
jury also returned a vote of thanks to
Marshal Hendry and Deputy Marshal
Handy for their kind treatment during
the four days Imprisonment.
Judge Estee set Friday, October 81,
as the TIM for sentence. Exceptions
to the verdict and the findings were
duly made, and it is said that an appeal
to the circuit court of appeals will be
taken. AS far as known, the Japanese

Great Ovation to
the Republican
Chieftain.
PRINCE WISHES TO
KILL LEPER BILL
Says That The Wilcox Bill Is a
Disgrace to the
hawaiians.

Republicans marched and talked to
show their love of party and devotion
to it's principles on Saturday evening,
the great parade and meeting at Emma
square taking the form of welcome
home to Prince Kuhio, the standard
bearer of the party, who had just re-
turned from Hawaii and Maui.
Five hundred men bearing torches
marched through the streets on the way
to Emma square, and their bright cos
tumesE and their intricate evolutions
evoked cheers all along the route The
square was filled to it's utmost capac-
ity, there being more than a thousand
persons in attendance. John c. Lane
was chairman, and when Prince Kuhio
appeared there were cheers which, led
by the chairman, lasted for some mo-
ments before he could be heard.
The prince said the campaign OF the
Home Rulers was one of personal en-
nifty against the foreigners. The
speakers of the party, he said, were
going about trying to arouse race pref
udice by calling the foreigners white
monkeys" and white cockroaches. "
which have logical conclusion. The
fact was known on the other side, and
the white men in Congress would show
their displeasure over such a fight and
such language applied to them and
their friends here
AS to the leper question, he said he
viewed with alarm the idea OF having
the people placed under Federal care,
for it would mean that they would be
under foreigners, who would have no
sympathy for them. There was de-
mand from the audience for few
words in English, and Prince Kuhio
responded at once, in part:
81 will ask you to vote for me il only,
that may go to Washington and kill
the leper bill, for I believe that meas
ure would be the greatest curse to our
country. There is now a feeling of
curiosity about the disease. What
would it be if the lepers Of the United
States were sent here for care. I'd
be ashamed to travel and meet the
cold stare of people when they found
/ was from Hawaii"
After he had spoken at the Emma
square meeting Prince Kuhio went TO
the Kalihi camp, and there addressed
a gathering of Hawaiians, largely
Home Rulers. Yesterday afternoon he
appeared before an audience at Relief
Camp No. 2 and was well received. All
the candidates and Bennett Kalehalio
spoke.

Tanbara Gisaburo was found guilty
by jury Sunday morning of the muir
der of Captain Jorgen J. Jacobsen, and
On Friday will be sentenced by Judge
Estee to hang by the neck until he is
dead. The jury also brought in a rec
ommendation that S. Otto, the cook of
the Fred ]. Wood, be held to the next
grand jury for an investigation into
his part as an accessory to the murder.
An indictment against Otto is hardly
possible, however, as his connection
with the crime has already been fully
Investigated, and though there is
a strong feeling that he had at least a
guilty knowledge of the crime, there is
not evidence which is believed to be
sufficient to obtain a conviction.
The case against Tanbara was closed
Saturday at noon, the defendant hav-
ing occupied the stand during the en-
tire morning. In the afternoon the
argument was opened by United States
District Attorney Breckons, who set
out strongly the facts brought out by
the evidence, which he said pointed
clearly to the guilt of the defendant.
He spoke for thirty minutes, and was
followed by F. R. Thompson, attorney
for the defendant, who dwelt at length
upon the accident theory, and the pos
sible connection of Otto with the crime.
He said that there was at least a
reasonable doubt of the defendants
guilt, and the jury should give him the
the benefit of that doubt. The evil
dence, even of the prosecution, he con-
tended, did not show anyone to have
been an actual witness to the crime,
and it was possible to accept Tanbara's S
theory that the killing had been acci-
dental, and he had simply tried to help
the captain. Mr.. Breckons closed for
the government, and Judge Estee i'm
mediately instructed the jury. He
confined his charge strictly to the legal
questions involved, pointing out also
the different phases of the charge. The
jury, he said, could return verdict of
not guilty" of guilty of murder on
the high seas" or of murder without
capital punishment" or of "manslaugh-
ter" The charge occupied half an
hour, and it was S:45 o'clock when the
jury was sent out in the care of Mar
shall Hendry to deliberate on the YER
dict.
The jury remained in the courtroom
for the entire afternoon, going to the

BURGLAR TRAP INJURIES INVENTOR.
Lawrence Reindell, an old gun
smith Of Bucyrus, Ohio. has been
shot twice by q patent burglar
alarm of his own invention. The
last accident occurred few days
ago. He will probably die.
About two years ago thieves
broke into Reindells store with a
persistency that annoyed the old
man. He determined to capture
some of them and rugged up a
spring gun that would be dis
charged at any one entering the
shop after certain hour at night.
The theory of the arrangement
proved to be. all right, for one
night the proprietor himself ab-
sent-mindedly entered his store
and received the charge from the
gun. It took him year to re-
cover from mis- wounds He still
kept the gun in place, however,
and last week he was shot second
time. He is 81 years old.

BODY OF FORMER MILLIONAIRE
FOUND IN MORGUE.
Abraham Britt. son of Louis
lana, once worth more than
81, 100000, died pauper in Chi
cago last week and his remains
were identified by detectives who
were searching for him in connec-
ton with a postofice robbery.
Britt's career reads like a romance.
He had all of fortunes favors
showered upon him and dabbled
in most business and professional
lines. Politics started his down
fall.
In 1874 Britt moved from New
Orleans to Jacksonville, Fla, and
bought a controlling interest in
the Jacksonville Union. During
the contest of 1876 he took an
active part, but instead ofsupport-
ing his party he threw the tre-
mendous influence of his paper
over to the republican ranks.
Clarkson M. Potter was a per-
sonal friend of Britt, and when
the Jacksonville Union conceded
the electoral vote of the state to
the republicans, influence was
created which led to the delivery
of the votes to President-elect
Hayes. The result was that in
stead of Tilden being elected.

over to Hayes to elect him presi.

From that time Brittfs career
took a downward course. His
paper lost its prestige. In the
spring of 1877 he sold it, and went
to Washington and secured en-
ployment in the government
secret service. Later he was inter

From Paris the route proposed
is as follows: Brussels, Cologne,
Berlin, Warsaw, st. Petersburg,
Moscow, Mini ovgorod, Kazan,
Omsk, Tomsk, Irkutsk, Kianchta
and then either across the desert
of Glib to Pekin and Tien-Ts or
