Samuel J. Tilden had n touch Of hu-
NOR, at times querulous in its tone, and
at other times he could be funny with
out meaning TO be. He was an expert
judge of wines, and his cellar was
choicely stocked. When dining out,
however, he had a little way of meas
uring by the taste of his guest and or
dering accordingly. Colonel John r.
Fellows noted this trait and once
when dining with Mr.. Tilden saw that,
as usual, the Sage of Greystone had
ordered a small bottle Of an ordinary
brand for his plate and very choice
vintage for himself. Mr.. Tilden was
called away from the table for a mo-
ment, and the colonel deftly shifted
the bottles. When Tilden lifted his
pint to pour out the wine, his eye
quickly noted the difference, but he
got out Of the difficulty nicely. Here,
waiter" he said, "you have made a
mistake in my wine. l want the same
kind Colonel Fellows has."-New York

Is Sea Power Obsolete 2
From the Sydney Bulletin.

From the Sydney Bulletin.
Britains control of sea power
has made her practically the worlds
arbiter. But the conditions are chang
ing The decisive factor of the twen-
tieth century promises to be control
of railroad power When the various
world lines now being built are COM
pleted the sea power will slump con-
siderably in power. or course, the
time must come when the British pos
sessions in Asia and Africa will be
assailable from Europe by land, and
the control Of the sea WIN no longer be
a guarantee of their safety. The expan-
sion of railways made that inevitable,
but the time appeared an indefinite dis
tance away. The Yankee in mis- haste
and his billions of dollars. reckons
that it will come early this century.

And, better, you will find that the eX-

will accomplish wonders in the whole

Pathetic Memorials of the Ill Fated
City OF POmpeff.

Pathetic Memorials of the Ill Fated
City OF POmpeii.
In-the museum at Pompeu are pre-
served the most horrid and pathetic
relics Of the last days Of the i'll fated
city. Early in 1868 the workmen who
were helping to unearth an immense
palace struck into a cavity in the lava,
the nature of which, Of course. was a
mystery. Without breaking further
into IL they poured plaster Of paris
down the crevices that were already
opened. and as soon as the plaster had
hardened the crust Of lava was care
fully removed. and, 10, the form of a
human being in his last struggles was
revealed The outlines and form Of
the person were perfectly preserved,
showing plainly that he had been bur
led in boiling lava, which had hard
ened about him. The intervening 1,S00
years and the heat of the lava besides
had reduced the body to a handful Of
dust, but the lava had left a cast nat
ural as life.
Since that time several bodies have
been reproduced. one Of them with the
features so perfectly preserved as to
show the expression Of the face. In
some Of the plaster casts parts of the
skeleton are imbedded Two female
casts which are clasped in each others
arms have been called "The Mother
and Daughter" Persons who have
seen this group say that there is moth
ing in all Pompeii more touching than
the utter despair depicted upon the
face of the mother"

The word guerrilla is Spanish and
first came into common use in this
country during the time Of the PENN
sular war; but Spain throughout her
long history haSalways been recOgniz-

for guerrilla tactics. There is no re-
gion in Europe in which 1t is more diff
cult TO wage successful war. "If the

MUSIC In a nnrher,s shop.

If we go from the gentlemans par
lor to the BARRIERS shop Of the six
teenth century, we find unmistakable
evidences of the popularity of music.
People would seem TO have had more
time in those days than now and do
not appear to have minded waiting as
much as brisker moderns, and so the
barber provided means to amuse those
who were waiting their turn. For this
purpose he had the virginals in one
corner. the virginia. being a stringed
instrument, the precursor Of our piano,
in which by pressing keys like our pi-
anO keys the strings were struck not
by hammer, as in our piano, but by a
quill or elastic piece Of wood, Of leath-
er or of metal. A virginal of Eliza
beths time is still preserved in the
South Kensington museum in Eng
land-Lippincott's.

Daniel Webster once told a friend
that his great speech in reply to
Hayne. which is the high water mark
Of modern eloquence. but which at the
time was supposed TO have been deliv-
cred without preparation. had been
substantially prepared long before.
When called upon suddenly to reply to
the fiery Carolinlan's attacks, which so
alarmed the New Englanders at the
capital, he was entirely at ease and
ready for the fray. for, as he said. he
had 'only TO turn to his notes tucked
away In a pigeonhole," and refresh his
recollection. IF Hayne," he said, had
tried to make a speech to fit my notes,
he could not have hit them better. No

mummy with him, and the case was
opened at Marseilles. Being told that
it contained a pharaoh, the officer
looked up pharaoh in the tariff, but no
mention could he find Of such an arti-

PARAeoNs OF DUTY.
DroII Legends of FiliaI Piety ~
Prnctfced In japan.

Prnctfced In Japan.
The Japanese make much of the duty
OF children TO parents. In some of
their popular stories they exaggerate
the wholesome virtue until It becomes
absurd. There is a group of suchitales
called "The -Four and Twenty Para
CONS of Filial Piety," some of which
Mr.. Basil Hall Chamberlain collects in
"Things Japanese"
One is the story of the paragonwhose
cruel stepmother was very fond of fish.
In spite of her harsh treatment he lay
naked On'a a frozen lake until his body
melted a hole in the ice. He caught
two fish that came up to breathe and
set them before his stepmother. An
other paragon lay uncovered at night
in order that the mosquitoes should
fasten on him alone and allow his
parents to slumber undisturbed.
Still another, who was extremely
poor, determined to sacrifice his own
child in order to save food to support
his aged mother. He was rewarded
by heaven with the discovery of ves-
sci filed with gold, on which the whole
family lived happily ever after. A
fourth gave her father a chance TO es-
cape While she chung to the jawsof the
tiger which was about to devour.him.
The drollest story of all is of Rovai-
shi. This paragon, although seventy
years old. used to dress in baby's
clothes and sprawl about the floor. His
object was piously to delude his par
ents, who were more than ninety, years
of age, into the idea that they could
not be so very old after all, seeing that
they had an infant son.

AS THEY PASSED RY

When the boys came swinging
down the street
With the flies and drums ahead,
There was not a sigh as they
passed by,
There were beating hearts instead,
And our eyes we're bright as the
soft sunlight
Shed luster on weapons of steel,
And we smiled in our pride at the
swing of their stride,
And we felt as compatriots feel
AS the boys came marching down
the street,
Those brave old boys in blue,
Who offered their all at their coun-
try's call
In the crisis of sixty-two,
lOh, our throats grew dry as they
passed by,
And many an eye grew dim;
They had faced the hell of the shot
and shell
In the battle fierce and grim
We thought of the braves in their
peaceful graves
Meath the arch Of the southern
sky,
And we bowed each head, and we
q thought of the dead,
AS the army in blue passed by

SUMNER DENIES
TRUTH OF STORY
| Attorney Asks Questions Concern
ing a Conversation in Hum
phreys' Office.

The examination into the sanity OF
John X Sumner went over yesterday
for "a day owing to Judge De Bolts
summons to sit on the Supreme Court.
Sumner was still on the stand at the
| close of the hearing yesterday noon.
His answers were rather slow, and
often ambiguous and he appeared rath-
er confused over the lease and the OPP
ton of the Oahu Railway Co. on the
| harbor land.
| Somewhat of a sensation was caused
| by the intimation thrown out by j. A.
Magoon in the examination that SUM
ner had agreed to give to the three
Ellis children $4,000 apiece from the
proceeds of the sale. The question was
put to Sumner while he was on the
stand and the statement brought forth
vigorous denial from the old man.
Ibid you not have conversation
with Willie Ellis over the disposal of
the s10o, 600 you were to get?" asked Mr..
Magoon.
81 didn't know I was to get it, the
whole thing was tied up in law suit, .
was the reply.
Did you not have a conversation in
Mr.. Humphreys office at the corner of
King and Bethel streets, at which Ellis
was present and you agreed to make a
distribution of the s100,0U0?"
who said that?"
"Isam asking, did you never have such
conversation
mo, 1 didn't want them to come to
ne like that"
Didn't you agree to give Willie,
Johnnie and Victoria each $4,000 of the
100000 you were to get"
| The question was objected to and the
objection sustained but Sumner answer
ed NO anyway.
what did you expect to do with the
800, 0OO?"
81 don't know, there is law suit
which has to be ended"
well as soon as the law suit is end
ed?"
The witness replied that he intended
to put the money in his own pocket.
The question of the note to C. P. Col
burn for $500 for which it is alleged
Summer agreed to pay $3.50 in six
months was gone into extensively
Sumner admitted that he had borrowed
$500 from some one and it might have
been from Colburn. Sumner testified
that he was to get $500 annually from
the Dillingham; lease of the harbor land
and that he had intended to lease but
half of the property. The 100000 he
said was for the SO years rental.

GOOD WORK At

SMALL DREDGER DOES FIRST
CLASS WORK IN FAIR WEATHER
DIVER RESCUING SALVAGE.

Ten days good weather on the Pearl
Hhrbor bar has shown what the sue
tion dredgers can do when they fairly
get to work. With the big machine
wrecked, the small dredger owned by
the railroad company has been throw
ing out an average of 1900 to 1900 Gu
bic yards every day of twenty-four
hours, the men working twelve hour
shifts.
With wind, weather, current and tide
the sunken dredger has 'obligingly
shifted a good thousand feet from
where she went down, and a diver is
already at work with scows rescuing
all that is possible of the valuable ma
chinery, chains and anchors that were
piled on her. 1t is thought that the
boilers will be saved if the weather
continues fair.
Eighteen men were discharged after
the sinking of the first dredger but
