SUSPENDED
ANIMATION
Trial of Law Suit
Has Two Years
Recess.
Admiralty Damage Suit
Settled Outside
Court.
Supreme Court Getting Ahead.
Petition to Sell Real
Estate.

A curious instance of the laws de-
laws, or of suspended animation in
lawsuit was developed yesterday. Two
years ago the middle of May the eject
ment case of Eleanor K. Prendergast
VS.. Peter Martin was partly heard by
Judge Humphreys, proceeding to the
point where the plaintiff rested. Just
at that stage the court became wound
ed in its sense of dignity and sought
to protect itself by committing people
right and left to jail for contempt
The excitement of the occasion, it
would appear. caused such an aber-
ration of the judicial mind as obliter-
ated all interest in the rights of the
Iitigants then waiting for justice.
Judge Robinson now took up the tan
gled threads of the case where they
were dropped twenty-five months ago
and was still engaged with the hearing
long after the official closing hour yes
terday afternoon. The controversy is
over property at Kaumakapfi, Homo
lulu, containing four or five cottages
for rent.
When both sides rested Mr.. Magoon
moved for judgment for the plaintiff,
which. Mr.. Kinney opposed. Referring
to a contention of the defendants
counsel. Mr.. Magoon intimated that II
the motion were denied he would put
on rebuttal evidence.
Mr.. Kinney insisted on his putting
on any further evidence prior to the
courts ruling on the motion. and the
Judge cut the matter short by denying
the motion. The defendant was then
called to the stand for the plaintiff and
examined as to the rents he received
from the property. A question of void
ing a mortgage on the ground of what
amounted to the same as usurious in
terest seemed to be at issue. The court
ruled in substance that evidence on
this point should relate only to actual
or net receipts, excluding speculative
valuations.
THE SUPREME COURT.
Territory VS.. Cheung Kwai, excep-
tions from First Circuit Court, is sub
mitted on briefs in the Supreme Court.
The following three cases were ar
gued and submitted yesterday:

for Olivia Lahela, has filed a motion
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-06-19

in the Supreme Court to quash the
writ, on these grounds: that it was not
issued within six months after pudg-
ment, that the judgment was fully
satisfied previous to the issue of the
writ, that the matters forming the sub
ject of the writ are judicialIy settled
and that the matters alleged as error
are not legal grounds upon which the
writ should issue. The case the de-
PENDANT seeks to have reviewed by writ
of error was one of ejectment, in which
the plaintiff in error was the COM
plainant. Notice is given that the mo-
ton will be presented on Saturday.
IN PROBATE.
William o. Smith, administrator of
the estate of Ethel P. n. Gay, deceas-
ed, has filed his first annual account,
showing receipts of s721.7S and pay
ments of $23.6S. An inventory shows
cash balance of s69S.1O and two lots of
land in Waikiki aggregating nearly
eight acres. The administrator petit
tons for an order to sell the real
estate, as the personal property is in
sufficient to pay the debts of deceased.
Judge De Bolt has made an order for
all interested to appear on Monday,
the Srd of August, and show cause, if
any they have, why the petition should
not be granted.
Judge Gear appointed K. Yamamoto
as temporary administrator of the es-
tate of Tokujiro Niiya, deceased, un-
der a bond of $4,000.
DIVORCES.
After further hearing, Judge Gear
confirmed his former oral decision
granting a divorce to Emily C. Will
Iiams from Ed. A. Williams, but on
the question of alimony took more time
for consideration.
Sho Kokichi, signing in Japanese
characters, answers the libel for di-
vorce of Morishige Kokichi, denying
that on or about the End day of Sep
TENDER, or at any other time, she de-
serted and abandoned the libellant.
THE FEDERAL COURT.
Judge Estee will not deliver his de-
cision on the plea in abatement the
Korean immigration cases until Mon
day morning.
A discontinuance was filed yesterday
in the case of NaWaiaha VS.. Wilder
Steamship Co. and the Paauhau Su-
gar Co., the case having been COM
promised. The plaintiff sued in the
Federal court for $4,000 damages for
injuries sustained while loading sugar
at Paauhau. Judge Estee dismissed
the libel as against the Wilder Steam
ship Co. and a settlement has been eff
fected with the sugar company.
Notice of appeal has been given in
the case of Palapala VS.. Paauhau Su-
gar Co This was a similar suit, in
which Judge Estee awarded the plain
tiff something over SO, 600 damages.

The tub" waist will be worn right
through the winter by the woman to
whom hygience is an all important con-
sideration. Aside from healthfulness,
the wash waist worn during the cold
weather has a distinction sadly lacking
in the summer months. The new mer-
cerized materials are almost reproduce
lions of the summer fabrics except in
weight. many of the new cottons being
as stout as mems vestings. The tailor
girl clings to the shirt waist which is
plain almost to severity. A box plait
down the front and three unstitched
single plaits on each side Of the neck
give the necessary fullness. The back
has a pointed yoke The sleeves are
only moderately full, with an additional
spring at the elbow for comfort. The
waist fastens down the front with four
pearl buttons
There are exceptions in the elaborate
ly tucked and strapped waists which
some firms are making popular.
The old fashioned canvas used for
SAMPLER making comes in lovely col
oring and is being used for the en-
broidered waist worked in cross stitch.
These waists are perfectly plain and
broad across the shoulder, with little
faIlness gathered into the waistband.
The plain waist gains distinction from
the handsome handmade stock and nat
ty belt which accompany it.

"CBEERFUL'' FUNERALS.

Fashionable Interment.

Many people find it difficult to rea-
lie that the old-fashfoned funeral,
with its sombre hearse, black horses
and its atmosphere of crepe and black
bordered handkerchiefs, is now almost
a thing of the past and survives only
among the poorer classes.

the line at green and gold hearses, as
he does not consider them quite in
keeping with a funeral.
The manager of one of the largest and
most fashionable funeral companies in
London also bore witness to the growing
taste for -unfuneTeal funerals"
@At modern better class funerals" he
remarked, ''black is now rarely seen. We
keep in stock a large quantity of colored
velvet for coffin coverings. Gray is pop
ular and looks well. Crimson velvet, too,
IS used at military funerals to an increas-
4ng extent. I have even had orders for a
childS coffin to be covered with yellow
velvet. The absence of the mutes, black
pals, black gloves and black ostricn
plumes at modern funerals helps people,
think. to restrain their feelings on such
occasions. There is now none of that wild
abandonment of grief that was once a
feature of so many intermerts.

- which took place in the Petit
palais on the Champs Elysees
was a great success. On YER
nissage or vanishing day the
crowd was limited to artists and the
smart set. Besides the pictures. there
was an exhibition of statuettes and OBJ
jects of art, which proved a charming
addition to the usual collection. 1t was
difficult at times to turn from the living
pictures formed by groups of pictur-
esquely gowned women to the framed
canvases on the wall. Looking round
this fashion show of new autumn modes
worn by the Partisan, her chic and gem
eral modishness were once more
brought home to me. The secret of this
evidently lies in finding out exactly
what suits her and in adapting what
happens to be in vogue to her own par
ticular style. This is doubtless the rea-
son why the French woman is never
tncongruous in the matter of clothes.
The well turned out woman is not
necessarily the one with the most to
spend on her clothes. Many of the best
gowned women have the smallest al
lowances. but they are sensible enough
to know just what is becoming to them
and to stick to it. Especially is this
true of a one tone dress scheme, the
value of which cannot be overestimated
by the woman who is obliged to make a
little money go a long ways.
Many women have a good idea about
the lines" in a costume, but sesthetic
color combinations are entirely beyond
them Some who look best in vivid
shades insist upon wearing the drear-
lest drabs and browns. which for them
are nothing short of bad taste Then,
too, colors should be chosen with ref
erence to skin tints and wear above or
below the face. Black is generally sup
posed to be becoming, but try a dull
black below the face and it will bring
cut the very worst points and add ten
years to ones appearance. On the 9TH
er hand, worn above the face the effect
is often refining and good. The plain
girl-and the sooner she acknowledges
her misfortune the nearer will be the
remedy-should dress more plainly than
her fortunate sister. Fluffs and frills
are not for her; rather let her affect the
tailor made even in dressy toilets. A
smartly gowned and groomed woman
who studies herself is often more at
tractive than the pretty one who thinks
all is fish that comes to her net.
Although the clothes of today are ex-
pensive if we buy wisely we need not
purchase a great number. For in
