THE DIVORCES
THAT ARE VOID

There are less than a dozen divorces
invalidated by the decision of the Su
preme Court, and as far as the record:
show the illegal publications in all bu
one of these were ordered by Judges
Gear and Humphreys. 1t is stated by
the court clerk, that prior to 1900 the
publication of divorce summons had al
ways been in the Hawaiian Gazette and
Kuokoa as provided by the statutes,
and the exception to this was very in
frequent.
The records of the divorce cases from
1897 to 1908 as shown in the circuit court
show that Judge Stanley made all pub
locations in the Gazette and Kuokoa as
did Judge Davis. One publication was
made by Judge Perry in the Independ-
ent and Makaainana, which was in the
Da Costa case, but there is no record of
any other Illegal publication by him.
According to the records Judge Robin
son and Judge De Bolt always complied
with the record, and it was only Judge
Gear and Judge Humphreys who failed
to follow the rule of the Supreme Court
as laid down Thursday. In some cases
no judge is named in the record, and in
others where there was publication the
brief record does not show in what pa
per the publication was made.
The following are the cases aside
from the Da Costa divorce. in which the
publication was made in the Bulletin
which makes the divorce invalid and
void: j. NJ. Lopez VS.. Evalin Lopez,
Minnie Merrill VS. L. NJ. Merrill. Kate

SOUTH KONA
PINEAP!PLES
Fine Fruit Grown in
the Coffee
Country.

There is strong and growing tend
ency among the coffee men of the Is
lands to go in for other and more i'm.
mediately profitable by-products. The
latest and certainly not the the least
enterprising of these is w. W. Bruner
| successful manager of the large coffee
plantation at Kealakekua, South Kona,
Island of Hawaii, who recently visited
this city and made a proposition to
we'll known capitalists for the purchase
of large tracts of land in addition to
the present holdings of his company,
upon which to enlarge the scope of his
operations.
Mr.. Bruner has been convinced for a
long time that there was big money IN
growing pineapples on the Islands. He
has been convinced of it for so long
that he has already cleared a large tract
of waste land in South Kona, and has
planted upon the land 100000 pineapple
plants, which will soon come into bear
ing, and which give promise of a large
yield of most superior fruit.
Before going into the venture, how
ever, Mr.. Bruner made arrangements
with some fruit men in San Francisco,
as result of which there was organized
corporation known as the Hala Can
ming Company. 1t was for this COM
pany that the land was cleared and the
pineapples planted. In the interest of
the same company land has been clear
ed for quarters for laborerS on the
place, and a small cannery is to be
erected, which will be enlarged as the
production of the plantation increases.
AS matter of fact, pineapple growing
has already passed the experimental
stage on the Islands. 1t is a question
now of getting plants and available |
land upon which to plant them. Mr.. |
Bruner secured the Islands to get his |
plants, and is said by gentlemen to
whom he talked of his operations when |
he was in Honolulu last to be anxious |
to get all that he can to set out at |
once. Also, it is his desire to bring as |
much land under cultivation of this |
particular product as he can get
The soil and climate of the South |
Kona country is said to be peculiarly
adapted to the growth of the pineapple, |
the fruit there reaching a size and
favor that is hard to equal. The land |
lies low, the soil is deep, and there is
not too much rain, so that the pines
10 not go to water, but have a rich
uiciness and solidity that makes them
EASILY marketable.

Bar Association Meets and Pre-
sents It's Idea of Best
System.

The Bar Association held brief meet
iIg yesterday afternoon, in Castle &
! Cookies hall, to approve the work done
by a meeting held last "Wednesday
night, at which there was no quorum
in the matter of the consideration OF
the Judiciary bill to be presented to the
Legislature for it's action at tuis scs-
sion. The action of the meeting on
Wednesday night, excepting an amend
ment as to a merely technical point OF
the measure under discussion, was ap-
proved, on motion of Mr.. Matthewman-
After this had been done Mr.. Kinney
moved that the measure, as passed by
the Bar Association, be sent by the
secretary to the judiciary committees
of the Senate and House, and that a
steering committee of three be appoint
ed. of whom the secretary should be
one, to urge the passage of the bill.
The mover, at his own request, was
not put on this committee, which the
chair appointed, as follows: Stanley,
Matthewman and Secretary Case.
The meeting was then about to adj
journ, when Matthewman called atten-
ton to the fact that a number of bills
drawn by the several committees of the
and to the further fact that a number
of committees had not even reported
their bills. The secretary asked that ne
be given authority to have all bills yet to
be presented printed to facilitate their
consideration, and on motion of Mr..
T. inney he was given authority to use
his discretion in the matter, it being
understood that the longer measures
would not be put into type.
The association then adjourned to
next Wednesday evening at 1880, that
being the date of the next regular
quarterly meeting. Those present at
yesterdays meeting were: General

Whitney, r. D. Mead, Mr.. Derby and
D. H. Case.
The judiciary law as it has been ap-
proved by the Bar Association, is, in |
effect, an act to put the courts here
in accord as to their powers, with |
courts in other communities where the
English common law is the basis of the |
legal system. The act itself is long and
full of technicalities. but it has had !
The best thought of the best minds at
the Honolulu bar put upon it, and the
effort to pass it will be backed by the
entire strength of the bar.

HOW TO STOP A COUGH.

A simple but effective remedy is the
following:
Breathing through the nostriIs, inhaIe
a full breath as slowly as IS possible
without causing fatigue. Expel the
breath in the same manner and repeat
the operation ten times. This will stop
the coughing for about a quarter Of
an hour. Take a dose Of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy during this lull
and the medicine will have a better
to act and will speedily
effect a complete cure. 1t always cures
and cures quickly. Benson. Smith& Co.,
