THE SO-CALLED
MERRY LETTERS
FOR GUARDIAN
SHIP OF AYTLA LEORiE ASHTON
PRODUCE BIG SENSATION.

The san Francisco Chronicle of April
10, publishes the following in its oak
and correspondence:
OAKLAND, April Associations con-
tinue to develop in the legal fight that
has been carried on for several weeks
for the custody of Aytla LeOnie Ash
TON. a pretty year-old Hawaiian
girl, whose parents, Frank and Mary S.
Ashton. were divorced in August last.
1t developed today that the inter-
cepted love letters that Ashton threat
ened to expose if his former wife per-
sisted in her fight for their child, We're
written by Rear Admiral Merry of the
/ nited States Navy, now retired. The
wording Of the letters is as tropical as
the most ardent Hawaiian lover could
desire. Terms of endearment are not
spared in the epistles and there is
abundant evidence that the gallant
Admiral was well versed IN loves Vo-
cabulary.
1t appears that Admiral Merry first
met Mrs. Ashton several years ago
when he was temporarily stationed at
Honolulu. She was then a subject of
Queen LiIiuOkalani and was possessed
not only of many of the Hawaiian
maidens charms, but was also well en-
dowed with this worlds goods.
About six years ago the Ashtons were
married and they came to California to
| live. 1t was while Mrs. Ashton was
| sOjOurning a Santa Cruz and Monte
rey that the mountaineering between
her and Admiral Merry was renewed.
From the letters in the possession of
Ashton and his attorneys, Gibson,
WOOlner. Crosby & Ryker, it appears
that the Admiral was an ardent wooer
whole they We're visiting at the
Southern resorts. Tender references
are made in the epistles to the efforts
of Mrs. Ashton to teach the Admiral
the mysteries of her native dance.
II was after the threatened exposures
of these letters that Mrs. Ashton with
drew her opposition to the application
of the paternal grandmother, Mrs.
Elizabeth Ashton, for letters of guard
ianship over the child. few days
ago, however the mother renewed her
| fight for the child by having her
| friend, Mrs, Hattie Holland, apply for
| letters of guardianship. Today the APP
plicatiOn of the grandmother came up
| for hearing, but had to be postponed
because it was stated that the father
had taken the child away last Friday
and nothing had been since heard from
either of them. Judge Hall continued
the matter to April 2lst

RESIGNED
IN GREAT ANGER
REFUSED TO SERVE ON COMMIT
FORCING HIM TO REPORT.

A very warm discussion ensued in
the Senate this morning. AS the re-
suit of an attempt on the part of that
body to force him to make an imme-
date report on the Long Municipal bill,
Senator Cecil Brown resigned from the
position of chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, and handed the bill to the
clerk. Subsequently at the urgent re-
quest of President Crabbe, Senator
Brown withdrew his resignation.
The mater occurred when Senator
Achi for himself and Senator Palmer
Woods as a majority of the Judiciary
Committee, presented a report on the
Long Municipal bill The committee
favored the passage Of the bill but
made number of amendments to the
measure. One of the changes made
by the committe, was to strike out the
sections regarding educational matters
the committee holding that it would be
wiser for the control of the schools to
remain with the Territorial board of
Education. The report said in part:
Your committee struck out many sec
tons in the bill, mostly those sections
relating to the Educational department;
your committee believe that it is wise
to follow the plan laid out in the coun-
ty bill, so that the schools shall be un-
der the management of the Territorial
Board of Education.
1t must be remembered that, accord
ing to the terms of the County Act, the
Island of Oahu consists of One Coun-
ty, and by the provisions of said Act,
the people living in said island would
pay one per cent per year for taxes

councilmeu. A large number of other
amendments were made to the Long
bill
Senator g. Brown the chairman of the
committee had refused to sign the re-
port. There was a lively discussion
over the time Wien he should make
his MINORITY report Senator Brown
expressed himself as opposed to the
committees report and the Long bill
He declared that it proposed to give
greater power to the councilmen Of
Honolulu than the legislatu re The
Long bill would create a lot of offices
for political purposes and would cause
a 1 per cent tax, in addition to the
county tax. Senator Brown said he
would make his report later.
Senator Achi wanted Senator Brown
to report in one day. There was some
discussion on this point, and finally the
report was tabled and Senator Brown
was directed to report by tomorrow.
This action aroused Senator Brown to
an unusual state of indignation. He
promptly said that if the Senate pro-
posed to force him to report, he would
tender his resignation from the Judi
ciary committee and he forthwith re-
signed and returned the copy of the
Long Bill to the clerk.
This action on the part OF Senator
Brown caused considerable surprise and
evidently some CONSERVATION Presi-
dent Crabbe who was on the floor, NOV
ed for a reconsideration and the mo-
ton prevailed. President Cable also
requested Senator Brown to withdraw
the resignation. which was done after
some time.
Senator Achi finally Withdrew his re-
port Of the Committee. Senator Brown
will make his report the early part OF
next week.

Cot Kiss and Money.

From St. Petersburg comes a sto-
~ of how distress led to boldness
and boldness to victory. A few days
ago a certain prosperous Russian
merchant was waiting for a train at
a railway station when young man
came up and, telling him he was in
desperate want, asked for money.
The merchant, being more liberal
with humor than with cash, indi-
Gated pretty girl who had just
come into the station on the arm of
a general of the Russian forces and
told the needy one that if he would
kiss her he would give him 5 rubles.
Whereupon the young fellow knelt
before the military man and told
him of the merchants offer. The
general made the circumstances
known to the girl. and she, smiling
graciously, presented her cheek,
which, says the chronicle, the young
man, standing on tiptoe, gracefully
saluted. The Russian newspaper
which tells of the little incident
boasts proudly that in no country
but Russia could it have happened.

Pretty quiet since tie holidays, is
the universal verdict of business and
professional men. And it is always
quiet in Washburn at this time Of
the year, so the announcement is DOT
in the way of a surprise. But it
ought to be a reminder to the people,
and especially to the business inter
ests of the place that they should en-
deayor during this year to get a
hustle on them, and get in some
manufacturing or business enter
prise that will give employment to
more labor. Washburn has about
reached her limit of population UNI
less there is something Induced to
locate here that will open a new line
Of industry. There are many things
which can find natural location
here. among which are factories that
need hardwood, tanneries, machine
and iron working institutions aud
the like. The business people, and
everyone in general who has not
been obliged to take to the woods to
earn a living, have plenty of time
right now to take up the discussion
of these things, and out of that dis
cussion it might be that some plan
might be evolved that would secure
for Washburn the institutions that
she so greatly needs. Why not.
wake up and go after the ques ton,
and possibly some one can be induced
to locate some kind of a profitable
institution here.

irish Burial Places,

The Irish are very particular as
to where they will be buried. 1t
goes without saying that they want
to be inferred in consecrated
ground. But they also wish to be
laid with their own in the ancient
hallowed spot where their ancestors
for many a generation have been
put to rest. Each family has its
burying place, and whenever mem
Der dies, unless it be beyond the
seas or at some insuperable distance,
he is brought to be buried with his
sires. Hence it is that funeral pro-
cessions are oftentimes seen to wend
their slow way past many way
side churchyard to some faroff
burial ground, because it is there
that for many and many genera
ton the forefathers of the deceased
have laid themselves down for their
last long sleep.-Donahoe's Maya

OCULAR DEFECTS.
Mental and Physical Conditions Erred
BY NeaIset Of the EIes.

Every obseryant person has rec
ognized the recent striking in
crease in the number Of people
wearing glasses, and, while this fact
can be considered a sign Of our adj
yancing civilization, the question
may be asked, What will it lead to
and is it a necessity? The answer
must be that while our environ
ment, eur professions and trades,
compels a constantly increasing de-
mand upon one Of the most delicate
and complex organs of our system
it is necessary in order to preserve
the function Of the eyes in their
highest possible state that concert
ed action be taken to that end. Neg
lect Of the eyes and injudicious use
Of glasses are great contributing fac
tors in the general deterioration
that is taking place in these organs.
Every oculist has seen case after
case of these various conditions
promptly relieved by the correction
of the ocular defect. He has seen
cases where the child pronounced
by the parents and teachers dull
and backward becomes the brightest
in his class after wearing glasses
that give him normal vision without
the effort that has caused a condi-
ton Of brain fag. He has seen
many nervous, weakened, i'll nour-
ished child become as robust and
healthy as his playmates after the
removal of some eye strain.
The mechanism of the eye is per-
haps the most delicate system Of
our entire body. For the perfect
performance of its function every
part must work in perfect harmony.
To secure this harmony both the
refraction and the muscular balance
of the eyes must be perfect. 1t is
fact that an absolutely emmetrop-
ic or normal eye is but rarely found.

The 1ananene Aerenat.s reer.

The little Japanese acrobat, in his short Arobe-of black .embroid gold dragons, walked slowly up the slanting wire cable to thervery root of the circus tent There he paused moment, anGthen swish, swish swish he slid smoothly and gracefully down the steep wire to the ground. Elevating his voice above the~ioud :ap planse, an old-circns. man said: ''That sliding trick has never been learned by a European. It's B. trick tkat the Japs alone do. If you watched our little friend you noticed that,he.always kept the wire between his big toe and the second toe. When he slid theEwtre was between his toes- That is the way the Japanese learn to walk the wire, but we English and Americans can't learn to walk in thatw because our toes have not 4the-same supplenesst and strength. Our toes, confned for generations in unhy gienic, tight, heavy leather boots, have no muscle and mo mobility. To slide down wire re- qutres well-developed toes first of all.

OUT SIX WEEKS ON STRIKE
Textile Workers Have Not Re-
 ceded From Former Position

Manufacturers Made Another Attempt
 to Start Factories To-Day-W Whistles
 Were Blown, But Not Enough Ans
 wered to Warrant Them in Resum-
 ing Operations.
 Philadelphia, July 6.-The sixth week of the textile workers strike be- gan to-day with both sides firm in their positions. The strike leaders ex- press the opinion that the textile in dustry will remain at a standstill the remainder of the season. Another attempt was made to-day by the manu- facturers to terminate the strike When the whistles at nearly all of the mills summoned the strikers to work the number of operatives responding was so small that none of the plants could resume.
 It is reported that an understanding has been reached between John and James Dobson and their hands. This firm employs 1,50O operatives in it's two mills and 200 cloth and blanket weavers are said to have decided to re- turn to work tomorrow. In conse- Quence of this decision a number of leaders visited Falls ofSchuyfkiIl to- day and called a meeting of the Dobsons day workers, urging them to remain away from the plants.

Underground Waters.

The earth contains an abundance of water, even in places like some of our great western plateaus, where the sur face is comparatively arid. The great est depth at which underground water can exist is estimated to be about six miles. Below that, it is believed, the cavities and pores of the rock are com pletely closed The amount of water in the earth's crust is reckoned at nearly one-third of that contained in the oceans, so that it would cover the whole surface of the globe to a-depth of from 5000 to $500 feet. The waters underground flow horizontally after sinking below the unsaturated zone of the rocks, but in the sands of the Da- kota formations, which supply re- markable artesian- wells, the mo- tion does not exceed one or two miles year. The underfiow toward the sea beneath the great plains may sometimes take the form of broad streams or moving sheets of water. But the movement is excessively slow.-Youth's Compan- ion.
