HAVE TROUBLES
Divorce Case Before Humphreys
Which Required a Male
Court Reporter.

The assignment of court stenogra-
piers was the cause of more trouble in
the judiciary building Yesterday. Judge
Humphreys plan of filing offices with
women is not entirely productive of the
best results, and several times recent
ly both clients and attorneys have been
put to considerable inconvenience by
the new fad. Naturally there are of
ten cases in which the evidence is not
exactly fit for the ears of ladies, and
several times continuances were made
necessary because there has been no
male stenographer available Colonel
Jones and Miss De Cew have been act
ing since the removal of Dan Case and
until the recent appointment tempor-
ariIy of Miss Neumann-
Yesterday when the kahilima di-
vOrce case was called up before
Humphreys, Attorney McClanahan
suggested that in view Of some of the
testimony to be offered it would per-
haps be better to have a male stenog-
raDher to report the proceedings. He
suggested that perhaps Col. Jones
might be temporarily assigned to take
the case, and when il was learned that
the latter was busy on the Hamakua
case in Judge RobInson's court, Mr.
Case was suggested. 1t appears that in
view of the fact that there has been an
appropriation for only two stenogra-
phers. Judge Robinson Informed attor-
news in cases set for trial that they
would have to agree upon stenogra-
pher TO be paid by the Iitigants, and
Mr. Kinney brought in Mr.. Case to take
down the proceedings. In the mean
time Judge Humphreys decided thaI
the law allowed him 70 appoint a spe-
cial stenographeT in emergencies to De
Maid ont of Expenses of Supreme and
Circuit Courts" and so Mr.. Cases serV-
ices were not required yesterday.
Judge Humphreys in reply to Mr. NC
Clanahan stated that -&+e would be Will
ing to have Col Jones take testimony,
but did not intend to permit AIr. Case
to appear in his court. having been re-
moved by him Judge Robinson, how
ever. refused to give UP Jones, as the
case is an important one, and the tes-
rirnony consists largely Of Hawaiian
names and phrases. Then il was decid-
ed by Judge Humphreys that Miss De
Cew would have TO hear the divorce
case. and she was called into the court
room, from which she had been exclud-
ed previously.
Later in the afternoon Judge Humph-
reys made an order assigning Colonel
Jones to Judge RObins0n's court for
the term. which viii leave him Miss
De Cew and Miss Neumann for Judge
Gear.

ceived from the chairman and secre-
tary OF The Territorial committee. let
ter in pursuance of the motion adopted
az the meeting OF that body February
Sd. directing the Fourth district COM
mittee to get together and nominate n
candidate for the Legislature. to- fill the
vacancy caused by the death of y. F.
Gnfllan.
The call will be issued very soon for
the district convention, and the fight
for the nomination is as yet an open
one. The only candidate so far men
toned has declined absolutely to per-
nit the use OF his name and there is no
one who seems to be in the hunt for
the place There was made at the
meeting of the Territorial committee
a fight against any nomination what
ever. but this was overruled and the
convention ordered, and a clause an
nexed to the platform. reaffirming the
adherence to the need for municipal
government.
The question OF a candidate probably
will come up at the meeting of the
Home Rule executive committee on
Thursday evening. When Prince Gu
pid declined the nomination the mat
fer was left in allegiance until the proc
lamation should issue and the time
seems ripe for the decision. There is
a belief that the Prince Will reconsider
his determination.

it and just the right types turning up here and
there to give verisimilitude. But it would not
do for Miles Amber to make this quiet place
the scene of the quiet story with which your
everyday novelist is satisfied. He brings a
gypsy woman to rule over the old house, and
endows her two girls with qualities which we
may or may not attribute to their immediate
ancestry, as we please. They get into sad trou-
BILE. Esther marries Robin, person supposed
to be a genius, but whose character we find
absurd and tiresome. She leaves him and goes
back to Visions. Presently her sister Rhoda
joins her, with a baby of her own, having de-
cidcd that she does not care to marry its father
or have anything to do with him. The deserted
gentleman, however, resouts her Indifference,
comes down to Visions and, after stahbing her
to death, shoots himself through the heart.
The cheerful Sussex woods are primcval forests
stilL' observes the author, with uuconsciOusly
droII eapience as he describes this episode, and
his tragedy moves as to uufeeling smile But
he has another trick up his sleeve. While
Esther is gazing upon her dead sister she
ceives word that the impossible Robin is dying,
and presently she flies to his side. She takes
his death very seriously, she takes herself.
We are sorry that we cannot pay them. or Mr..
Miles Amber, the same compliment. Visions

"Wistons' is one more Of those stories in
which people are represented as doing uncon-

explicitly asked to suspend judgment in case
these things happen to offend his sense of what
is humanity natural and edifying. The author
does what others have done before him; he
attempts to gain striking effect by giving his
fautasucaliues a quiet background, against
which they cut. Of course, rather startling
