Mother and Son.


On the Boston express the other day l
witnessed a scene which l wish l could
describe as it impressed me. 1t was the
" four o'clock express" and an elderly
woman evidently foreigner, stepped on
the train, with that peculiar, square
rugged, canvass covered, broad valise so
much used in Europe. Directly behind
her was a sturdy young man, who carried
the remainder Of her luggage on his
shoulder. He, too was evidently a for
eigner' whose dress and appearance in

mated. and was now prosperous adopt
ed American citizen. With a peculiar
motion, the little woman shrank from
taking a seat in the coach among the

center or the car to select a good seat,
while the mother had seated herself in
one near the door. His bright face

were his bride. What happiness was re-

The Descent of Anarchy.
TFrom the chicago Inter-ocean.]

William Thacker a white man. was
taken from Jail at Flemingsburg KY, ON
Thursday morning, beaten senseless, and
hanged until dead. The only excuse
given by the mob for this murder was
its fear that Thacker would ultimately
escape punishment. Two years ago
Thacker killed John Gordon in a quar-
rel. He was arrested, tried twice. and
sentenced to life Imprisonment He APP
pealed to the supreme court, which
granted him the third trial, For this he
was waiting when murdered. He was
lynched for standing upon his constits-
uonal right to a trial which the highest
court of Kentucky would regard as fair
and impartial.
A community begins by lynching a
negro for a brutal assault upon white
woman Ordinarily law-abiding men,
such Is their horror of that crime con-
done the lawlessness. But the appetite
for lawlessness grows by what 1t feeds
upon. 1t passes on to lynching negroes
for other crimes, and even for petty mis-
demeanors. Then it lynches a white
man for some grave crime. Then it
lynches white man merely because it
is impatient with his obstinacy in stand
ing upon his constitutional rights
The relapse into barbarism is then
complete. The afflicted community be-
comes community that has degenerated
into comparative anarchy.

To permanently cure indigestion, dvs-

TELLS
THE STORY OF
HIS Oath
Admits Technical Liability to a
Penalty and Wants to Show
Washington how it Occur
red,

The case of the United States against
w. G.. Peacock was before Judge Estee
this morning for trial. Before the hear
ing Attorney Henry +. Hlghton filed
with Judge Estee a petition asking for
a summary inquiry into the Circum-
stances of the case for transmission Of
| the evidence and records in the case to
| the Secretary of the Treasury at Wash
| ington, with a view to having the fine
RENTED. The petition admits that the
\ defendant is liable to a penalty, but
sets forth facts and circumstances to
show that there was no intentional
false swearing.
In his petition, while admitting that
he may have sworn to an affidavit at
the custom house, stating that he was
an American citizen when in fact such
was not the case, Peacock says that
he was not acquainted with the law
or with the contents of the affidavit
which he was alleged to have signed
He was and Is also uncertain whether
or not he was made an American citi-
zen by the Organic Act, as voter un-
der the Hawaiian monarchy. In all his
dealings at the custom house he fol-
lowed the instructions of brokers and
others Peacock admits that he Is prob
ably a person who has incurred pen
atty under the section under which the
action was brought, but says that he
is guilty ofno moral turpitude what
soever, that no benefit has accrued or
could possibly have accrued to him and
no pecuniary or other injury could
have been done to others" by his oath.
Peacock's petition further sets forth
that there has been no design or intent
on his part to evade or violate the laws
of the United States in the matter of
the registration of vessels or in any
other respect" and that he NOW reg
rets that he signed the same and that
if his attention had been called to the
law and the facts as he now under
stands them, some other duly qualified
person could and would have been
easily substituted for him, both to pur-
chase the vessel and to procure the reg
istration thereof.
1T has been for many years and is
now the custom or practice of mer-
! chants of undoubted prObity and stand
ing in the city and port of Honolulu
and elsewhere in the United states, to
attend TO their custom, house business
rapidly under the stress of daily press
ure and in the full and honest belief
that their signatures to custom house
documents were perfunctory and for
NAL and did not necessitate the reading
! of such documents"
Collector Stackable and f. L. Hatch,
assistant clerk of the United states
court, were called as witnesses In the
hearing of the case, to prove the facts
as to the oaths taken. Peacock was
Icalled by Highton. He testified that
he had no recollection that he had ever
taken an oath at the custom house,
land did not recall ever raising his
hand and being sworn. Judge Estee
agreed to give decision at two o'clock
but under the facts of the case, 1t was
admitted that his ruling would be
against the defendant.

will be in Nuuanu cemetery where the
deceased had lot. The body has been
lying in state this morning and a large
number of friends and acquaintances
have called during the day to take a
look at the remains. The body lies in
a handsome beryl walnut casket. The
features are as they were in life. At
the foot of the casket is a splendid pill
low of marigolds with the Greek word
"Kutoo," at rest, wrought on it in pur-
pie asters. This was sent by George

WRIGHT'S EFFECTS
WERE NOT SOLD
HIGH SHERIFF BROWN ORDERED
THE SALE POSTPONED PENDING
ATTORNE YGENERAL'S OPINION.

The sale of the effects of w. H.
Wright, the absconding treasurer,
which was to have been held today at
the police station under an execution,
was postponed by order of Hish Sheriff
Brown. The sale was to have been con-
Quoted by Morgan and was advertised
to occur at noon. About an hour be-
fore that time, Ashford and Peters, the
attorneys for Mrs. Wright, the wife of
the absconding treasurer, filed a pro-
test with the High Sheriff against the
sale being held. They claimed that the
summons had not been legal and in
consequence the Judgment and eXecu-
ton against Wright was illegal. Per-
sonal service on Wright was impossible
as his whereabouts were known to very
few in this community so the sum-
mons were published for one month.
1t was contended that this method Of
summoning the defendant was illegal
1t was desired by the police to secure
an opinion from the attorney general,
so the sale was ordered postponed one
week in order to give the attorney gen.
erals department time in which TO looH
up authorities.
