growing stout, and the stouter they
grow the more lazy they become. Lazi-

MARRIAGE NOT PROVED.
The evidence sustains the finding of
the trial Judge that there was a fail
ure of proof of marriage between
the woman and the defendant accord
ing to Chinese custom.
The evidence would not warrant a
finding that there was a common law
marriage between the parties or sup
port presumption of marriage from
cohabitation and general reputation
recognized by some of the reported
cases. The witness under the evil
dence in the record was entirely too
promiscuous in cohabiting for this pre-
sumption to avail the defendant. .
EXPERT CONTRADICTION
1t does not appear that the defend
ant was prejudiced by the other ruI-
ings of the trial Judge excepted to
at the hearing of this question, for
instance, the defendant was asked on
cross-examination if he knew any,
thing about a custom in China by
which a man gives to another man
money and receives in return a wo-
man." This question was objected to
as 'immaterial." The objection being
overruled the witness answered. II
don't know any such custom" The
evidence given by the expert produced
by the defendant showed that accord
ing to Chinese custom ''go-between'
was usually employed to find out the
age of the girl and to arrange the de-
tails of the marriage, one of which
was the transfer of sum of money
from the prospective bridegroom to
the parents of the bride elect. 1t is
said that the money was to be used
in the purchase of a pig and wine
and cake" for the marriage feast. an

QUESTION AT ISSUE.

During the presentation of the evil
dence for the Territory the Chinese
woman who was in the room when the
shooting commenced was offered as a
witness. An objection was made to
her competency on the ground that she
was the wife of the defendant and,
under our statute (Sec. 1416 G. L.) an
incompetent witness. Fly agreement
of counsel the jury was sent out and
the question of the competency of the
witness was submitted to the judge
las question of fact" The excep-
tons relied on in this court were taken
during the trial of this question and
are: % To the ruling of the Judge
finding that the woman was not the
wife of the defendant and was a COM
petent witness; CD To the ruling ad-
hitting certain testimony.
The burden was clearly on the de-
PENDANT to prove that the witness was
his wife. Apparently this burden was
assumed at the trial although it is
denied in his brief An attempt was
made to prove a marriage at Hong
kong according to Chinese custom fol-
lowed by cohabitation there and in
Honolulu. Evidence at length was
given to show what was essential to
constitute marriage under custom IN
China. The Judge found that there
was a failure to show a compliance
with the essentials of marriage under
this custom and that marriage had
not been proved and that the witness
was competent.
MARRIAGE AS CLAIMED.
The defendant testified to the mar
riage at Hongkong and another wit
ness swore that he attended the mar
riage feast. The woman testified that
she had never been married to the de-
PENDANT and that the first time she
saw him was the day after she arrived
at Honolulu, about u years ago, when
he was presented to her as her pro-
tector by the steward of a sailing YES
sci in whose care she came to the ISL
ands; that the defendant paid this
steward $3.50 for bringing her and that
she then went to live with the defend
ant and continued to live with him
for five years thereafter and as long
as he would support her; that when
the defendant refused her support she
took UP with another Chinaman and
lived with him for a year and until
he returned to China, when she be-
came intimate with a Chinese ACTOR
and after he deserted her she was TAX
en- up by Fong Quin and had lived

Forty.Four Fishery Suits

Term of Court.
Nakuina VS.. Thrum Pending on
Motion for Nonsuit-Three
Jury Trials on.

The Supreme Court rendered a
unanimous opinion, written by Justice
Galbraith, yesterday in the case of Ter
ritory Of Hawaii VS.. Cheong Kwai. 1t
is interesting in the story it contains
illustrative of the difficulties of dis
pensing justice to Orientals by Occi-
dental courts when the customs of the
Orient are involved. Judge De Bolt
tried the case in the Circuit Court and
the Supreme Court sustains his ruling
on which the appeal was taken. Fol-
lowing is the syllabus of the decision:
LAW OF THE CASE.
An objection to the competency of a
witness offered by the Territory, in a
criminal prosecution, on the ground
that she was the wife of defendant
being referred to the trial Judge for
decision as a question of fact" was,
after hearing testimony, overruled.
Held, that the ruling being supported
by the evidence, afforded the defend
ant no ground of exception.

dictment with assault with intent to
murder and on trial was found guilty.
1t was proved that for more than a
year prior to June IL, 1902, the prose-
cutting Witness Fong Quin, had been
living in a rooming house in Vineyard
street with a Chinese woman as his
mistress; that this woman Mad former
ly been supported by and had lived
with the defendant: that defendant
claimed the woman was his wife and
that she denied a marriage with de-
Quin returned to his rooms to take
the woman to the horse races; that
defendant was in one of the rooms
with the woman, but Immediately
walked out on hearing Fong Quin en-
ter, and in about fifteen minutes re-
| turned with a revolver and without
| speaking a word pointed it toward
Fong Quin and fired; that Fong Quin
| ran out of the house, pursued by de-
| PENDANT, who fired four or five times
! striking Fong Quin twice, but that
neither of the wounds proved fatal.
The defendant was the only witness
offered in behalf of the defense and nc
attempt was made, other than by
cross examination of the witnesses fol
the prosecution, to overcome or con-
~tradict the testimony in support OF
the charge.

THE BOX CATCHER.
Like the Ball Player Wears Gloves,
hut of a Different Design
and Finish.

Ball players are not the only men
who wear gloves for the protection OF
their hands in catching. The men who
receive from the box factory the empty
packing boxes are very likely to wear
gloves, too, in catching the boxes as
they are thrown to them, says the New
York Sun.
A truckload of such boxes Is backed
up to the curve and unloaded by throw
ing the boxes from the truck to the
building, across the sidewalk.
In catching load of small wooden
boxes the catcher may have hundreds
to catch, one after another, right along
in street.-The mere catching OF SO
many is quite feat-and gloves are a
good thing to wear in the work. But
as the boxes are tossed at him. easily,
not violently thrown, the box catcher
does not, like the ball player, wear pad
ded gloves to protect himslf from i'm
pact and shock, but just good, stout
buckskin gloves to protect his hands
from being cut by box corners or torn
by nail heads and by sliyers.

EYES ACT INDEPENDENTLY.
The Optics of Some Animals Are Re-
markabIe for This Singu-
lar Power.

The eyes OF an animal can only work
together when they can be brought to
bear upon an object at the same time;
so that, as a rule, the eyes Of fish
must work more or less independently,
says Nature This is sometimes also
the case when the eyes can cooperate,
as anyone who watches a plaice or
other flat-fish in an aquarium will
soon discover.
This Is true, too, of the curious
bullying optics of chameleon, which
roll round, swivelwise, in a somewhat
aimless manner. When they do con-
verge it is bad for the insect upon
which they fix themselves.
Many animals possess more than
three eyes, which do not all act to-
gether A leech, for example, has ten
eyes on the top Of its head, which do
not work in concert, and a kind OF
marine worm has two eyes on the
head and a row down each side OF the
body. Some lizards have an extra eye
on the top of the head, which does not
act with the other two. A bee or
wasp has two large compound eyes,
which possibly help each other, and
are used for near vision, and also
three little simple eyes on the top OF
the head, which are employed for see
ing things long way off.

INTELLIGENCE OF PLANTS.
They Are Endowed with Sort of Sense
by which Their Movements
Are Guided.

Prof Shaler, of Harvard university.
is of the opinion that plants are pos
sessed Of intelligence that serves the
purpose Of self-protection and self
qualification to very considerable de-
gree. Recently after discussing the au-
tomato observed in growing things he
said.
I'VE may accept the statement that
our higher intelligence is but the illu-
minated summit of mans nature as true,
and extend it by the observation that
intelligence is normally unconscious,
and appears as conscious only after i'll
fancy, in our waking hours, and not al
ways then" In summing up the pro-
fessor uses the following sentences:
Looking toward the organic world in
the manner above suggested, seeing that
an unprecedented view Of life affords nc
warrant for the notion that automata
anywhere exist, tracing as we may down
to the lowest grade of the animal series
what Is fair evidence of actions which
we have to believe to be guided by some
form OF intelligence, seeing that there Is
reason to conclude that plants are de-
rived from the same primitive stock as
animals, we are in no condition to say
that intelligence cannot exist amng
them. In fact, all that we can discern
supports the view that throughout the
organic realm the intelligence that finds
its fullest expression in man is every
where at work"
