VIII Not Register.

Mr.. Park Agnew, chairman of the
State republican committee says: at Is
a rather interesting fact that many peo-
pie are deliberately avoiding opportunity
to register because, under the new con-
stitution. man cannot be a juror UNI
less he is a registered voter There are
many business men who want to sur
render their right to vote in order to es-
cape the annoyance of being compelled
to serve upon a jury. Frequently at
tendance upon jury during busy
season means serious loss, and business
man who knows that he is exempt from
service feels safe.

night from Colonial Beach, was released
yesterday morning from the House OF
Detention, the surgeons having come to
the conclusion that the woman is perfect

is morphine fiend, and went to san
itarium early this summer to be treated
for the habit. She became greatly at
tached to the physician child, and, it is
alleged, gave the infant morphine. The
child was quickly relieved of the poison
by its father, and afterward Mrs. Good

lowing an overdose of morphine.

a crowd made up of Honolulu's big
cosmopolitan population, raced all over
the vessel. From stem to stern and
from keel to bridge they could besfouno.
Chinese ladies stood on the bridge in
vestigating the mysteries of the COM
pass. Portuguese newsboys critically
examined the staterooms. Jap peanut
stand keepers figured on how much it
would cost to run the vessel for
month. There were all classes of peo-
pie from every grade of society. All
mingled together. Everyone had a free
run of the vessel.
On the lower after main deck, where
the Chinese Storage passengers are
quartered, there was a miniature Monte
Carlo. Hundreds of Honolulu people,
chiefly men but sometimes women,
could be seen there gambling. Chinese
had dozens of small mats on the
matches and on them little gambling
plans and dice. Hundreds of dollars
changed hands and some of the gam
blers played for fairly big stakes, as
much as thirty dollars frequently de-
pending on one shake of the dice. Ev-
eryone was happy though-but chiefly
the Chinese who were making a pot of
money without any one to say them
nay.
1t was estimated that nearly fifteen
thousand people passed on and off the
vessel during the day.
KOREA FOUND THE MUD.
AS the Korea entered the harbor she
touched one small mound of mud, but
did not again discolor the water until
she attempted to get alongside the
Pacific Mail wharf. The vessel was
drawing about thirty feet and she
found that it was Impossible to get
alongside the wharf closely without
danger and so laid about twenty feet
off from it. Later she was placed in a
berth at the navy wharves which have
been more recently dredged out and
could accommodate her safely. AS she
was to take in a large amount of coal
here it was thought inadvisable to place
it in her while she was lying near the
mail wharf. This will have to he
dredged out if the vessel is to lie there
in safety when having a full cargo.

were clean, always telling in effect, how
ever slight in materials, and his admirers
grew from year to year as long as he had
the physical strength to entertain them.
Cleveland Leader: The fact which is
out Of harmony with all the rest is thas
death came at less than 81 years of age.
Such a man ought to have been hale and
hearty at 80, His life could not have
lasted too long to suit his fellow country
men. Fifty years OF continuous work on
the stage would only have multiplied the
host of admirers to whom he brought pure
and wholesome pleasures.
Chicago Record-Herald: As a mimic of
eccentric American characters Mr.. Russell
had no equal. He could run tho whole
gamut of vivid description, magnetic pathos
and dramatic power that made John b.
Cough the matchless platform orator Of his
day. Moreover, he so entered into the
appeal OF his imitation OF Mr.. Cough that
tears coursed down his cheeks, only to be
lighted by that l~neffably sweet smile as he
concluded with a wavo of his long arm:
81 thank you, ladies and gentlemen" And
to think that we shall never again see that
smile-Sol Smith Russell's smile-breaking
and cleaning through and ripping over
that mock serious face of shrewd American
humor. Its quaintness, its surprised inno-
cence, its sweetness dwells with all who
saw IL like a benediction.

A TEAR BEHIND THE SMILE.

Chicago Chronicle: There are SO few
hearty funmakers in this workaday world
that none OF them can join the great ma

Everybody who ever saw Sol Smith Russell
will be one Of his mourners.
Philadelphia Record: The lights are out
and the curtain down; death has claimed
gay Sol Smith Russell after a long battle
with the grisly conqueror. For nearly
thirty years he so played his part as to
make himself a ~favorite among theater-
goers in every part OF the country. His
death will be widely deplored.
Chicago Post: He was never fortunate
enough to produce a play of literary dis
t~inction or Of high dramatic Significance,
but he appeared in nothing that was not
wholesome, clean, enjoyable and interest
ing. We all owe him a debt Of gratitude
for many, many delightful hours, and his
death will be widely mourned.

represent or the stage few appeal so for

Russell will be mourned by millions who

AS an actor he touched the springs Of
feeling with a true insight, and he deli

nonsense. A vein OF tenderness marked his
work. He had something like the touch OF

while these subdivisions have been
recognized in county elections, they have
never been legally designated as voting
precincts in the sense which the law
contemplates. II they actually were
precincts, her there would have to be
precinct assessors for each and such
other precinct officers as might be re-
quired. The law allows precincts to is
sue bonds. but no n would contend
that the ward subdivisions created by
ordinance could legally vote bond issues.
A strict application of the letter of the
law to the swearing in of votes would
doubtless bar voters who failed to Sc
cure sworn vouchers from resident free
holders of the precinct, which in the city
Of Omaha means any resident free
holder of the territory embraced within
the ward boundaries.

BRITISH

THE public alarm here is acute" says
a London dispatch referring to the At.
lantic shipping combine. The appre-
hension felt in England regarding the
possible effect upon the British ship
ping Interest of the transatlantic
steamship merger is manifest In the
attention which is being given TO the
matter in Parliament. There is a gen.
eral expression of fear that II will en-
danger the supremacy of Great Britain
on the seas and also injuriously AFFECT
her naval power by withdrawing ships
now available for naval service in the
event of war. Recent advices state
that the belief prevails in and out of
Parliament that II the steamship COM
bine continues on the lines along which
British flag is unlikely to be long re-
talned by the ships now carrying 1t. 1t
Is remarked as an amazing thing about
the present agitation that the whole
matter has been in the air for more
than a year, yet Englishmen are just
awake to their fancied danger.
That they are now very much aroused
is evident. but it is not so apparent
what can be lone to remedy the situa-
ton. If the government has failed to
take precautions against the transfer of
subsidized steamers to the American
flag, 1t is probably too late now to do
anything for preventing this, for un-
doubtedly the question of the right of
the companies owning the subsidized
ships to transfer them has been care
fully considered by the promoters of the
combination. Meanwhile the alarm of
the British may have less substantial
means certain that the British Atlantic
lines are to be transferred to the Ameri-
can flag, which would necessitate their
having an American register, or even
that they will be under American domi-
nation, but simply that they will be a
party to the community of interest
plan, which contemplates the making
and maintenance of rates hat will be
profitable to the combination. How
ever, 1t. is possible that the agitation
over the matter in England may have
some good results and il IL shall have no
other effect than to put a check upon
this scheme of monopoly, which in spite
OF the claims of its promoters cannot
to the advantage of commerce, 1t will
have done a very useful service.
