LANTANA BUGS
IN MUCH DEMAND

There was a lively demand for Ian
tana blight yesterday and Professor
Perkins gave out quite number of the
bugs which he has been carefully nurs-
ing for nearly a year. Many of the
specimens of the blight will be sent
to the other islands
Applicants for the bugs are required
to bring along a tin box at least eight
inches high for the confinement of the
bugs and with every consignment Pro-
fessor Perkins gives the following in
structions:
/. Do not open the box until reach
ing the spot where the contents are to
be liberated.
2. Choose a lantana bush or several
adjoining bushes in place sheltered as
much as possible from al lwind. or at
least the prevailing wind; the bush or
bushes should have many flowers and
green berries on them and should be
free from ants.
8. Rest the pieces of infected Ian
tana in such bush or bushes towards
the top or at least well off the ground.
L. Berries that become detached in
transit should be dropped in the shade
at the roots of the bush.

MOST MEN HAVE
SMALL INCOMES

There are few people in the Territory
receiving larger incomes than $4,000 a
year according to the income tax re-
turns. There are but three planters
who confess to so large yearly re-
turn, while doctors and lawyers with
large incomes are not much more in
evidence.
The following is the communication
to which Senator Dickey referred in
the Senate yesterday:
Honolulu, May 6, 1903.
Hon. C. II. Dickey, Honolulu
My dear Senator: In reply to your
request of this a. m. re Income Taxes
! beg to state that the assessment re-
turns for 1902 show the following as
having incomes of $4,000 and over with
out the deduction of $1,000 exemption.
viz: Lawyers, "a; doctors, 81 mer-
chants, IA; planters, 3; capitalists, etc..
40; corporations, 125.
The above estimate is as nearly cor
rect as time allowed has permitted me
to make. LEE
Respectfully yours,
]. NJ. RIGGS,
Deputy Assessor Income Taxes.

children can be placed under Christian
| influence and Christian training. The
| hope of the future is with the children
of today. Already some of the mothers
have said to our missionary. please,
| take my children, and give them n good
| training, and we will pay you some
| thing"
Young girls, eleven to sixteen, are in
great danger. Many of them are sold
into lives worse than death. Scores can
| be hlped and saved every year, and
taught to earn an honorable living, If
we can have a place of shelter.
Women in all kinds of employment
are under great temptation by being
oblied to- room in a different locality
from their work They need Christian
home.
The Susannah Wesley Home will be
largely self-supporting as soon as it is
ready for occupancy. We need $1,000
this year. To this end we make this
plea. We ask for pledge from every
person into whose hands this paper
shall fall. VIII you send us any amount
just now, from 81 to s25? Our special
plea Is for 81 from every woman in
Methodism.
All this may sound as though we de-
pended on dollars and cents only. Not
so. Our hope is in Christ. Except the
Lord build the house, they labor in vain
that build it, The power Of the Holy
Ghost must transform darkness into
light. superstition into faith, and idola-
tors who are dead in trespasses and sin
into living witnesses for God

to be wrought through u.s. and we are
to let men see a Christ that is come:

CIVIL CALENDAR

Judge De Bolt yesterday posted the
following notice, indicating that there
will be no delay in disposing of tie
civil calendar:
For the promotion of justice and to
facilitate the disposition of the large
number of cases on the civil jury cal

tinued for the term. Cases In which
either party answers ready will be for

ance is granted for good cause shown.
Applications for continuance must D.
made in writing and copies of the NOV
ing papers must be served on the cher
party two days before the hearing,
When case comes up in its order and

case comes up in it's order and but one
party appears the trial shall neverthe-
less proceed If the party appearing de-
mands it.
"BY THE COURT"
The Hawaiian gazette., 1903-05-08
NO MORE
APPEALS
Offenders Afraid
Of the New
Judges.

Criminal are already learning les
son from the conduct Of the recently
appointed judges in the First Circuit
for the past two terms. 1t used to be
the practice that gamblers who APP
pealed from the findings Of Judge Will
COX escaped paying fines by appealing,
the circuit judges usually discovering
some sort of technicality on which
they could be released. Since Judge
De Bolt and Judge Robinson have been
presiding, the practice has changed,
and very few of the criminals who ap-
pealed escaped punishment because of
absurd technicalities. In consequence
the number of appeals from the dis
trict court has been greatly diminished
in the past six months and appeals
are being dismissed every day Of this
new term.
Yesterday in four gambling cases the
appeal was withdrawn and the appel
lants each paid fine of $3.50. These
men were Tang Kai, All Tung. All
Chung and All Ngn, who were fined
$3.50 apiece by Judge Wilcox for con-
Quoting a lottery. A nolle prosequi
was entered in the case of All Pong,
All Lai and All Kim also charged with
gambling.
Antoine Garcia, who was charged with
making threats, also withdrew his APP
peal and was returned to the custody
of the High Sheriff until he had given
a bond in the sum of 500,
Appeals were also withdrawn in two
liquor cases and the fines assessed by
Judge Wilcox were paid. ]. M. Camara
whose trial began Tuesday withdrew
his appeal yesterday morning, and the
jurors already impannelled to hear the
case were discharged. The same action
was taken in the case of All Lau, also
fined for violating the liquor laws.
In the case of John Kuaana, charged
with selling beer without license, the
jury returned verdict of not guilty
and the defendant was discharged.
JAPANESE DIVORCE CASE.
Judge Gear yesterday granted a
divorce to Hisa Kojima from Sodakichi
Kojima on the ground of non-support.
The plaintiff testified that her husband
had refused to support her, and had
also refused to live with her. Kojima
was in court but made no defense.
Judge Gear gave the woman alimony in
the sum of $4,000 and also allowed her
attorney, w. S. Fleming, fee of $500
There was no appeal from the ruling
A divorce was granted to Virginia
Hendrickson from julius Hendrickson
ION the ground of non-support.
Judge Gear began the hearing of the
case of Emily c. Williams VS.. E. A.
Williams, also for divorce. The wife
alleges that her husband is addicted to
the use of Intoxicating drinks. The
case is being contested and was not
concluded yesterday, the defendant be-
ing called away
In the afternoon Judge Gear began
the hearing of the case of Anna Mark
ham vs. U. Johnson. This is suit
for an accounting and the parties to 1t
are sisters.
BEFORE DE BOLT.
Judge De Bolt has begun the hearing
before a jury of the case of Lucy h.
Peabody VS.. Bishop Estate, to quiet

C. K. Berg Professional Bank Pro-
moter Comes to Kenosha to Start
New Financial Institution.
WOULD OPEN A NATIONAL BANK.
Claims That Outsiders Are Ready to Invest
Money If Kenosha Men VIII Take -
stock.-Lease for Sale.

The move to start new bank ia Xe-
nosha has had a new impetus during
the last few days on account of visit
of G. K. Berg, Of Davenport, Iowa,
who is a professional promoter of
banks and banking. Mr.. Berg has in
terviewed quite number of local capi-
talists on the question and seems to
believe that he can open a ma
tional bank with capital stock of at
least hundred thousand dollars. The
stock in the bank will be taken par
TALLY by people in other cities and par
tally by Kenosha capitalists. Of
course an effort would be made to
have much of the stock taken in
Kenosha so as to give the institution
local standing.
This plan would demand that the
capital stock of the bank be entirely
paid in before the bank would be per-
mitted to go into business and thecash
of the depositors would be secured
with deposit with the United States
treasurer. The officials of the other
banks in the city have not been con-
sidered in this plan. Of course it is
possible that if the bank was opened
an effort would be made to secure the
building now occupied by the Kenosha
State bank but the proposed bank
would have nothing in common with
the one recently closed by the exam
liners.
President Komp, Of the Kenosha
State bank, has advertised the lease of
the building for sale in Chicago papers
ard it is said that there have been
quite a number Of requests for the
building. The building is being held
at $125 month and it is said that a
rental of seventy dollars month has
been offered for use of the building for
saloon purposes.
It is also limited that several Chicago
parties have been looking over the
building with the idea of opening a
bank. None of these parties have
been in Kenosha to look over the prop
osition but it is said that they are in
correspondence with well known fnan-
ciers of the city.

NEGOTIATING PLANTS.

Successful.


incubation Against Parasites Proves
Successful.
Science has not contented itself with
hunting out lymph and virus which
will give immunity from disease to
humanity alone. 1t has turned it's at
tention to incubation for the vegetable
kingdom as well. Remarkably inter-
esting experiments have been carried
on by French and English scientists,
among them M. Beauyer1e and Pro-
fessor Marshall Ward.
They are working along the line OF
demonstrating the feasibility of treat
ing plant diseases in a way similar to
that in which animals are rendered i'm
mune to attacks of illness. Many sue
cessful results have rewarded their
Investigations.
Cuttings of begonia, for example,
were allowed to grow in soil which
had been impregnated with a species
of fungus which is az attenuated
form of a destructive parasite to plants
rejoicing in the Latinesque name Of
Botrytis cinera. After incubation, or
rather impregnation by absorption,
the begonias were placed in a separate
bed and the hordes of Philistines in
the shape Of scores Of the parasites
were let loose upon them.
They resisted the attacks perfectly,
showing the beneficial results Of the
new kind of vaccination for plants.

IMPROVING SCHOOL YARDS.
A Work That Leads TO other Gown
improvements.

The plan of identifying school
grounds by giving the pupils practical
instructions in this work was taken up
by many towns and cities during the
past spring and with excellent results.
This is splendid idea and leads to
home improvements. as the children
learn how to beautify front AMI back
yards, the care of lawns, how to raise
flowers, etc. Well kept school grounds
add greatly to the appearance of
town, and it is an easy matter to inter
est the youngsters in the work.
AS result Of this movement In
Washington the public school grounds
show decided Improvement The pu-
pills were put to work With hoes. rakes
and spades and given a school garden
ing course which Included instruction
in kinds of soil, water holding power
of the various Soils conservation of
water, life processes of plants, seed
sowing and potting
The definite purpose of this move
ment was the Identification of the
yards of the public schools. the orna-
mentation of the buildings both on in
terror and exterior and also the embel-
hshment OF the back yards of the
homes of the various boys and girls
receiving the instruction and training.
Other benefits to be considered are the
manual training, the healthful exer-
else, the pride Of ownership, the re-
spect of others rights and the cultiva
ton of love for the useful and beau
tiful. The principal of one of the
Washington schools offered a half day
holiday, carrying with it the privilege
Of working to renovate the lawns. to
every boy bringing to school a spade,
rake, pick, hoe or wagon
The response was beyond expecta-
ton. In an incredibly short time the
dilapidated lawns were spaded. raked,
rolled and sown with grass seed, a bad
washout in the terrace was filled and
sodded. the plan of the garden marked
off and lilac and weigelia bushes plant
ed. Each grade was assigned a portion
OF the grounds to care for and was
held responsible for the success of the
plot

About the first thing a traveller sees
Of town he is entering by rail is the
back yards AUDITING on the railroads.
More often than not the view is far
from pleasing and is calculated to Gre
ate a bad impression. This is an evil
that can be easily remedied by a little
labor on the part of the householders,
and the benefits are easily apparent.
The good example set by a woman's
town improvement society of illinois
might be followed with like excellent
results. They offered good sized casn
premiums to the householders who
could show the cleanest and prettiest
back yards along the railroad tracks
Great Improvement quickly became
manifest.
