WHY KELLY Returned.

Charles F. Kelly, former Speaker of
the ST. Louns House of Delegates, has
returned from Europe to face the
charges of bribery that have been pre-
fered against him. What the strong
arm of the law could not bring about
has been accomplished by stronger
arm-the arm of death. A dead hand
reached across the wide Atlantic
ocean and brought this wandering
criminal home. 1t was the hand of
his boy,
For Gods sake let me alone for
to-day" said Kelly, when he was met
at the steamer by a reporter who
knew him II have nothing to say.
l have just received word that my son
is dead, and | am going back to st.
Louis Where have l been? Every
where. The trip has been no rest for
me- l will be glad to get back to st.
Louis to my wife, who is broken heart
ed over our boys death. l can't tell
what is ahead of me there. l don't
care, now that my boy is dead
There can be no sympathy for Kelly.
the criminal. but for Kelly, the broken,
miserable, stricken father. many a
heart will throb with sorrow Kelly
left St. Louis to protect the baser Grim
inals who had bribed him. He be-
lieved that in foreign lands, amid new
surroundings, he might find rest and
forgetfulness of the wrong he had
done. But the wretched man coul(
find no rest The memory of his deet
was ever with him, and he could no
shake it off. Then came the news O
the boys death
To him was denied the privilege O
a last word with the loved one; he ha,
not the poor privilege of closing tn
tired eyes as the death glaze cOvere
them. And so he comes home. .

According to the dispatches. tn

they are concerned. his trip to E,

information concerning the workings OF

Cupid will 60 to Maui in the Mauna
Loa on Friday and will be at Wailuku
during the races. This time Seems
propitious as the most of the men who

ing, and they will thus have the OPP
portunity to meet the leader and he will
be given the chance to look into thu
situation as affecting the voters and
their feeling toward the old leaders
At present Prince Cupid expects to
make the trip alone. but there Is feel
ing among the members of the cXecu-
tive committee that there should be a
committee accompany the leader on the
trip. so that the work of spreading the
organization may go forward.
Prince Cupid has now received let

THE WAYS OF
KINGS AND PRINCES

LONDON. July 23.--The Spectator
has excited much comment by an arti-
Gle on Kings and Princes OF which the
followin. are extracts:
The Princes ought, for example, to
be rather rotten race and they are
not. Most OF them-indeed, all except
the Swedes and Servlans-belong to
families which have lived In great lux
ury for 800 years and have in that Pc
rIod been shown UP time after time as
individuals OF exceptional immortality.
and who have preferred intermarriage
to any method OF seeking brides, and
ought, therefore. by this time. to be
thoroughly worn out. They are not
worn out at all. They are rather good
lives, as actuarles count lives. and
would make q very fair troop Of drag
ons and are personally rather more
energetic, not to say more fussy, than
other people. With the exception of
the Spanish I}ourbons, they have
shown, and are showing, little signs OF
, fecblencss, ana even in that house the
unexplained faint in the blood seems to
be working itself out"

Thomas Kane had an unpleasant en-
perience with sharks while fishing Off
the estate Of Banker j. Kennedy Tod
OF New York at Old Greenwich Point,
Conn. Mr.. Kane goes to New York
daily for business, and, wishing 10
catch a mess of blacktish, he arose
early and started out in rowboat
alone. He anchored among some rocks
half way to the Stamford Lighthouse
and had great luck. In an hour he
had caught several weakfish and
blackfish. Suddenly fog settled about
him and the bell in the Stamford Light
house commenced to ring. He cou:d
only see couple Of hundred feet away,
but continued fishing. Soon shark
which he declares was more than eight
feet in length jumped out Of the water,
n few feet away, causing the water
to splash in the boat. Almost the same
instant another shark appeared on the
waters surface, and Mr.. Kane became
anxious.
Taking several of his fish he threw
them overheard, the sharks instantly
snatching them. Then pulling up his
anchor, he got his bearings from the
lighthouse bell and pulled for the
Sound Beach shore. The sharks fol-
lowed the boat, being kept at re-
spectful distance by Mr.. Kane, who
threw them all the fish he had that
they might have their hunger appeased.
He finally reached shore in safety.
