POEMS WORTH READING.
The Grand Tour.


Do Grofi has been on the grand tour.
He came back yesternight.
He climbed the Alps. and has bowed his head
At st. Peters noble height.
he talked with the Emperor william Eighth;
He lived at Madrid week.
His accent has changed 10 q Frenchy twist
You'd marvel to hear him speak
He spent day at the island home
or OfTennyson. who had died
Before De Gron got his autograph
They say that the fellow cried.
He learned In the Highlands the Gaelic talk:
He can swear In the ancient Greek.
With friend Of Shakespeare s on Avonside
He had the good luck to speak.
He won Al the Derby q thousand pounds;
II balanced a loss In corn.
He saw the sweep OF the volgss tide
From the top OF the Mstterhorn.
He has seen the Gar and at Istamboul
Has looked on Sophias dome.
He rode on q Bedouln's nery steed
Ato salt In his tented home.
You will nnd him there In his once now.
He Is eagerly glad to tell
The wonderful things that you ought 10 see
And he can describe so we'll
And what Is the good OF It all. you ask!
He thinks that he equals now
The fools who with Shakespeare and God at home
Have burrows across the brow.

Her First Bea1.

He always had been cold and sim.
Nor loves great passion felt:
But when he saw the pretty maid
HIS frtgid air would melt.
She won his heart by Kin dly acts.
With merry jests and quips, .
And With her own fair hand she placed
Aplpe between his lips.
Beneath her window he would stand
And brave the midnight breeze.
And then one sunny af fternoon
He got upon his knees.
In vain he begged embrace or kiss.
For Fate had said him nay:
So. wasted by his hopeless love.

NE AND GLUE"

II there is anything in the world that
is sticky. it is glue. Now, glue is made
OF a combination of things" the prin-
ciple ingredient being cows hoofs. Ev-
eryone knows that all cows were
calves once and of course behaved as
a good little calf should behave.
Now men-sJme men-have been
what is called the human calf and
also have behaved as a good little hu-
man calf should behave. Both calves
kick. They kick because something
lights on them when they least expect it
and then they try to kick it into eter-
nal quietude:-and they land against
nothing but the wide expanse of atmos-
phere.
Let the human calves kick up just
because the Douglas Patent Closet sells
for $500. is guaranteed. and is sold
not kept. The product of the calf's
foot (the real calfs foo) is a sticker;
so is the Douglas. Hence, "me and
glue!"

MOSQUITO
PREVENTIVE
Capt. W. Larsen
Has a New
Idea.
He Thinks Little Fish
Prevent the Pests
Breeding.
Gives an Instance at Kewalo.
Chinese Are Destroying the
Small Fishes.

Captain William Larsen, manager for
E. Peck & Co., Ltd, gave an Advertiser
reporter what seems to be valuable
contribution to the mosquito question.
He said:
IT own a cottage down in Kewalo
and the people living an it can sleep
without any mosquito netting over
their beds, with doors and windows
closed or open. They can sit on the
the mosquitoes
1.-The only reason 1 can give to ac-
count for there being no mosquitoes at
that place is that there are three fish
ing alive with very small fish. Prob
ably these little fish eat up the larvae
of the mosquitoes and prevent their
breeding.
Now. there's another thing in con-
nection with these ponds which L think
for the sake of the public should be
stopped. Every morning a Chinaman
goes to one or other of these fish ponds
and drags it from end to end with
fine-meshed net. The meshes are so
fine that even a tiny wriggler couldn't
get through. The fish are fed to ducks.
Its a shame to allow the Chinese
to destroy small fish in this way, and
if there is no law to stop it there should
be- These little fish ought to be pro-
tected, especially if my theory is cor
rect that they prevent the breeding of
mosquitoes
In this matter it is recalled that
native members Of the Legislature eff
fectively blocked the passage Of a
Fishery Act, introduced by Senator
Isenberg from a special committee,
which provided against both drag nets
and fine meshes

MORTUARY REPORT
FOR PAST MONTH

The mortuary report for July gives
a total of n deaths in Honolulu in that
month.
As usual the highest figure is for the
youngest people. Thus twenty-five
children under one year died, the next
highest rate being twelve deaths OF
persons between twenty and thirty
years of age. From ten years of age
downward there were twenty-seven or
nearly one-tnird of the total mortali-
ty. on the other hand the statistics
exhibit a fair showing of longevity a.
mong the inhabitants, thus, from fifty
TO sixty years the deaths were nine;
from sixty to seventy years, six; over
seventy years, Ska total of twenty
one persons whose lives ranged from
half a century TO beyond the Biblical
standard of three score and ten.
Reverting to infantile mortality, or
the slaughter OF the innocents''-doubt-
less due to lack of knowledge and care
with unfavorable environment-it is
found that the deaths of infants under
one year among Hawaiians numbered
eleven, or just half the total of all
nationalities.
BY nationalities the deaths for July
were thus distributed: Hawaiian, thir-
ty-seven; Chinese eleven; Portuguese.
five; Japanese, fifteen; U. S. A, five;
others, four.
Eleven deaths We're investigated and
three coroners inquests held.
According to the census rating of
1900. which gave Honolulu a popula-
ton of 1896. the monthly death rate
a thousand was 1.95. Only fifty-five
births We're reported against the sew
enty-seven deaths.

causes:
Febrile =. diarrheal E. venereal 1.
septic l. dietetic .. constitutional 10.

evidence adduced by the prosecution
was such as, standing by itself, to have
amply justified the jury in finding the
following as facts: that at about eight
O'Clock on the evening of April 16 1902
the defendant was standing on the
front veranda of the lodging house of
one Meyers situate on Queen street in
this city, talking to Meyers and per-
haps others about horses; that John
Watson, the deceased, then approached
from without and asked who was talk
ing about horses or who il was that
said he could ride horses or some SINH
lar question and that thereupon an ar
gument ensued between him and the
defendant on the subject, Watson
standing at the head of the steps on
the left side going up, leaning against
the railing and with both hands behind
his back, and Ferris standing one step
lower on the opposite side of the steps
and about four or five feet from Wat
son; that during the conversation,
which lasted only a few minutes, Ferris
said that Watson had called him son
of a - some days before, that Wat
son denied this, that Ferris repeated
his assertion and asked Watson, Did
you mean it?" That Watson at first
remained silent but, Ferris inSistently
repeating the question, finally said,
''Well, if I did call you a son of
1 did mean it, that without
warning Ferris Immediately dealt
Watson, who was still standing in the
position already described. a heavy
blow on the left side in the region of
the chest; that Watson staggered,
walked back a few steps towards the
body of the house and then forward
again and fell, one Daniel Smith catch
ing him as he fell, blood issuing from
a wound in Watson's left side and from
his mouth. that a few moments later
Watson was dead; that Immediately |
after the assault Ferris left the spot /
and few moments later the premises |
and ran away>and was not found, al !
though diligent search was made for |
him by the police, until the next day;
that the wound was caused by a. knife |
welded by Ferris and that Watson's |
death was caused by the wound so in |
ficted and was not due TO any other |
cause; and that about eight days prIor |
to the date of the assault Ferris. point
ing to Watson who was some distance |
away. had said to one Blackwell, a wit
ness for the prosecution, See that son |
Of a / will fix him yet" Upon
the evidence then before it the jury
would have been justified in finding
that the killing was committed not IN
the heat of passion but in cold blood
and with premeditated malice afore-
thought.

SELF-DEFENSE.

Exception 80 is to the verdict on the
ground that it is contrary to the law
and the evidence and the weight Of the
evidence. This is sufficiently disposed
of by what is said concerning eXcep-
ton 2s. It may be added, however, that
the defendant took the stand in his
own behalf and admitted that. at the
time and place already stated. he stan
bed John Watson, the deceased, with
a knife similar to that introduced IN
evidence by the prosecution His claim
was that he did so in self-defense. that
during the conversation at the Meyers
house Watson had suddenly come to-
wards him and grabbed him by the
shirt bosom with his left hand tearing
the shirt. a the same time having his
right hand in his hip pocket, and that
as watson took hold Of him he, Ferris
thought his life was in danger, drew
the knife and dealt Watson the blow
But the overwhelming weight Of the
evidence was against the defendant
version of the occurrence. The evil
dence was clearly sufficient 10 support
the verdict.
LIQUOR IN JURY ROOM.
During the evening just mentioned
rbetween Sept. and 5, when the jury
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-08-05

occupied as & bedroom what is now
Judge De Bolts courtroom, and two or
three adjoining rooms, including Judge
| Gears chambers, for Iounging and
other purposes1 some of the members
of the jury drank beer, not exceeding
two glasses each, furnished by one OF
their number. No evidence was adj
duced tending to show that any of the
jurors became intoxicated or was I'M
der the influence of the liquor so used
and each of the jurors deposed on oath
| that none of them was thus affected.
The trial judge in overruling the mo-
ton evidently found, and we think the
finding was correct, that the use OF
the liquor did not affect the considera-
ton of the case or influence the YER
dict. While the use of intoxicating
liquor by jury during the trial OF a
capital case, except in instances of alb
solute necessity. is deserving Of severe
censure and condemnation, such use is
not of itself, where the liquor is not
furnished by one of the parties to the
cause, necessarily a ground for the
granting of a new trial. The material
inquiry in such cases is whether the
defendant was prejudiced thereby. in
other words. whether the use was such
as to affect the mind of any of the
jurors and thus deprive the defendant
of the benefit of the condition of mind
of each and all of the jurors to which
he is entitled; and If it appears that the
defendant was not prejudiced, the YER
dict can not be reversed. This is the
modern view, shared in by the great
of courts. decisions Of many
States are here quoted.1

tegrity of the judges, but they know
that the law abounds with technical
rules and that appellate courts will
often reverse judgment of conviction
for disregard of such rules, notwith-
standing full belief in the guilt of the
accused. If all were certain that the
guilty ones would be promptly tried
and punished, the inducement to lynch
would be largely taken away. In an
address which 1 delivered before the
American Bar association some years
since, l advocated doing away with
appeals in criminal cases. 1t did not
meet the favor of the association, but
l still believe in it's wisdom. For nearly
a hundred years there was no appeal
from the judgment of conviction of
criminal cases in our federal courts,
and no review except in a few cases in
which, two judges sitting, a difference
OF opinion on question of law was
certified to the supreme court. In
England the rule has been that there
was no appeal in criminal cases, al
though a question of doubt might be
reserved by the presiding Judge for the
consideration of his brethren. Hon.
r. j. Phelps, who was minister to Eng
land during Mr.. Cleveland's first ad-
ministration, once told me that while
he was there only two cases were so
reserved. Does anyone doubt that JUS
tice was fully administered by the Eng
lish courts?
Il can but think that if the commu-
nifty felt that the criminal would GER
tainly receive the punishment he de-
serves and receive it soon, the eager
ness for lynchings would disappear,
and mobs, whose gatherings too often
mean not merely the destruction of
jails and other property, but also the
loss OF innocent lives, would greatly
diminish in number
zone thing Is certain-the tendency
of lynching is to undermine respect for
the law, and unless it be checked we
need not be astonished if it be resorted
to for all kinds of offenses, and often
times innocent men suffer for wrongs
committed by others

The ST. Paul team then left the field and
refused to return until new referee had
