when ohOos'ss a DIAMOND.

In examining diamonds do not trust
to artificial light and choose a clear
day. Damp weather makes diamonds
bilious. On a dark, foggy day the pur-
est white diamond will take on tinge
OF straw color. No one is safe In exam
lining a diamond except on a clear day
and then you must be careful of your
surroundings. for the gem will take on
the tints of the walls and cealing. and
you will scarcely recognize your own
diamond when you see 1t under differ
ent conditions.

ALDERMANIC BOARD
Regular Meeting to be Held This
Evening.
The Street Railway Ordinance the Most In
portant to Come up.

Tonight the. board of aldermen meet
in regular session and several matters
Of Importance will come up for con-
sideration.
The.street railway ordinance will
come mp which will be about the most
important business before the board.
The street car company representatives
and . committee from the board Of
aldermen and common council met
and arranged a suitable ordinance,
one that would be satisfactory to both
sides, and 1t is thought the board will
accept the report Of the committee.
A special commuters report relative
to the extension of water mains and
the installation of fire alarms boxes
near Twenty third and Broadway will
be made. The water company requires
so many subscribers to the block be-
fore they will extend mains and as
there are not enough willing to sub
scribe it is thought the mains will not
be extended.
The granting Of liquor license to
Jack whitesides will also come up
and the opinion Of some is that the
license granted by the lower board
will not be ratified.

Bessie. the baby zebra, was turned
over to the taxidermist yesterday. The
pretty little animal died on Friday.
The mother was frantic. and for two
hours would allow no one to approach
the dear departed one. Very seldom
do zebras live when born In this coun-
try. There is one exception at the
roo, but he is a stupid. ugly-looking
animal, and not at all like the bright
coated parents OF Bessie.-Philadei-

ALL SEEM TO BE INNOCENT.

The Sun seems to have cut TO the
quick In its comments on municipal
methods in connection with the quar-
terly assessments" of saloons. All
the officials are trying to plead ignor-
ance. 1t is truly astonishing how little
they appear to know about what is 60
ing on. The police are not allowed to go
into saloons, we are told, and conse-
quently cannot tell whether man has
taken q drink or not on Sunday. They
are not permitted to lounge around
near q saloon to watch who comes out
and make him tell what he knows to
the police judge or grand jury. 1t is
not the duty of the prosecuting attor'
ney to turn detective and swear out
warrants against saloons keepers If
they violate the Sabbath, and besides
the prosecuting attorney is not sup
posed to know what is going on. The
mayor, being a good, moral man, Of
course knows nothing about the
sar-aons being open on Sunday. He
INSTRUCT the marshal TO have the laws
enforced, ano tie marshal instructs
the police to enforce them, and pre-
sumes that the laws are enforced.
Therefore no one is to blsne. All lay
the blame at the door of some one else
in order to escape their ows respon-
sibility. Yet these innocent, mschly
abused officials manage to find GU,
enough to fine the saloon keepers four
times a year regularly. 1t would be
interesting to hear their explanation Of
why they can't do 1t every week, if
the law is violated, as easy as they do
it every three months.
If police officers can hang around
long enough to get q warrant one
week in twelve, they can do it every
week in twelve. II the prosecuting
attorney can be instrumental in hay
ing warrants issued every three
months, he can do it every three
weeks; likewise the marshal, or who.
ever is responsible for the regular las
sessments. There is no use in any
ones trying to escape the charge Of
gouging the saloon keepers and con-
niving at violations of the law for
personal gain. An honest confession
is good for the soul, we are told, and
If the Democrats in Office have any
soul, they ought for its sake to own
mp that the reason saloon keepers are
fined every three months, and every
three months only, is because it means
money to the officers, and to fine them
any oftener would be to close the sa-
looms, and to close them would mean q
loss Of about thousand dollars year
to the officers. 1t is too plain to be
denied. II the officers want to appear
sincere and honest in their admins.
ration, let them fine the saloon keep
srs every time they violate the law or
not at all.

HAD TO TAKE BALLAST
SAILING VESSELS GET LITTLE
RETURN CARGO.
Mauna Ala Had to Return to San
Francisco With Ballast Today. Bust
ness Outlook Bad.

For the first time in about 13 years
trading between San Francisco and
Honolulu the bark Mauna Ala sails
this afternoon without return cargo.
She was unable to get anything to
carry her back to her home port and as
Captain Smith her master and part
owner, could not afford to have his ves-
sci lying indefinitely in port, he took
$50 tons of ballast and sailed.
This experience of the Mauna Ala
is declared by those on the water front
to be what the other cOasting vessels
are likely to experience. The steam
ships have been cutting so severely in
to the business formerly done by the
sailing vessels, that the sailing vessels
find themselves not only without car
goes down from the Coast, but unable
to secure full cargOes as formerly, back
to San Francisco.
This condition of affairs has beer
growing gradually worse and it is salt

estate to majority of the bondhold-
ers.
The Supreme Court says that the
form of the bond is a protection TO the
minority of the bond-holders as well
as the majority, and is the approved
commercial form. The security is de-
clared to have been shown by ;he evil
dence to be ample. AS to the alleged
delegation of 2 minority, the court says
that even ifNl~ere was a technical dele
cation of authority by the guardian,
the court is not willing Ito pursue a
technically to that extent"
A considerable part of the decision is
devoted to discussing whether the COM
mon law rule limiting guardians and
trustees in their investments to pub
lie securities or real estate mortgages,
is in force here. The court declares
that the rule does not apply in Hawaii.
In conclusion the decision says that
the order Of the lower court lis revers-
ed except so far as 1t relates to the
II McBryde bonds purchased of the
American Sugar Company, and as to
that it is affirmed"
One important feature of the deci-
sion is a decision of the force of old
Hawaiian decisions. The court says
