Hawaiian and shark

AT Hama, on the eastern end of Maui.
Joef.Kauwila. a native Hawaiian sail
or, had the singular experience of be.
ing towed underneath the water by a
shark. A party of shark hunters went
put in a boat to where dead, horse
had been moored to buoy as bait for
sharks. They encountered. a shovel
losed shark about - feet long. =: A
shot from .rifieIseemedi to stun the
shark or kali. it, and it; dropped to the
bottom in about three +fatho1ms' of
water. Kauwila volunteered to take
line down and fasten it to the tail
of the shark He had only partially
made fast the line when the shark,re-
vived and started to swim away.
Kauwila, nowise Disconnected, held
fast to the tail until he had finished
making fast the line. During this time
the shark had passed complet ely under
the boat TO distance of 20 or 80 yards
beyond. Kaqwila having made fast
the ff1fe, rose to the Surface and was
quickly taken into the boat. The
shark was then haufed out on shore
and killed and TIE flesh, which the ma
tives prize. as a delicaey, was cut up
and divided among -them.Lchicsago

Two reports have been made by
the committee of the Courts of JUS
tice to the Senate in the Campbell
case, each signed by six members,
and both will be considered by the
Senate next Wednesday. The report,
sustaining the legality of the action
of the House in deposing Campbell, is
to the effect, that the proceedings
heretofore had in the Campbell case
have been in substantial compliance
with the requirements of the Con-
stitution," and if approved by the
Senate means the removal of Camp
bell. The other report takes the
ground that due opportunity for de-
Tense was not afforded Judge Camp
bell; that the testimony taken by the
House committee cannot be used as
legal evidence upon which to base a
concurrent resolution, and that the
causes for his removal were not
spread on the journal of the House
nor embodied in the resolution trans
mitted to the Senate" If the views
of the latter prevail Judge Campbell
will continue to occupy the seat
which he has dishonored. The re-
ports having been submitted it is
now up to the members of the Senate,
to whom the honor of the Common
wealth has been committed, to say
which will be approved by that
body.

In MemOriam.

In loving remembrance of our dar-
ling mother, Charlotte 7. Lewis, who
departed this life April Goth, 1908, in
the eSth year of her age.
Dear mother, could you but speak to
us,
And could you live egain,
Our longing hearts would then be
healed,
But this we wish in vain.
Our hearts are sad and lonely,
Our grief too deep to tell,
But the time will come to US so soon,
That wo may with you dwell.
Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where sorrows are
DER,
On the border land we left her,
Soon to meet and part no more.
Far beyond this world Of sorrow,
Far beyond this world of care,
We will find our darling mother,
Then to meet to part no more.
By her husband and children.

The decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States on last Monday,
in the matter of negro suffrage, was
bad one for John s. Wise. The case
was that of jackson w. Giles COLOR
ed) VS.. Registration Board Of Mont
gomery, Alabama, and nearly iden-
teal with the Virginia case, in which
Mr. Wise has figured so largely and
with so little credit to himself. Giles
was not allowed to register under
the new Constitution of Alabama and
at once brought suit against the reg
istration board in the United States
District Court. That tribunal de-
cided that it had no jurisdiction. The
case was appealed to the Supreme
Court and argued some months ago.
On Monday that Court gave its de
cision. Justice Holmes, ia delivering
the opinion OF the Court, said the
question was political one and that
it would be unheard of for the Court
to act in such a case. The Justice
also pointed out that while Giles
contended that the franchise sys-
tenn of Alabama was fraud, he de-
clared his competency as a voter
under it.
This decision hardly goes far
enough to pass upon the validity OF
the constitution of Alabama, but
simply holding it unconstitutional
the court of equity was without
power. Justice Harlan held that the
case should have been dismissed
purely for want of jurisdiction. The
full text of the courts ruling has not
been given out, but what has been
submitted is adequate to show the
way the wind is blowing, and the de
cision of the court can with some de-
gree of certainty be anticipated, and
that our constitution will stand the
test.
In view of the decision Mr.. John ).
Wise, 1.-The only friend the poor negro
has in Virginia" and James Hayes
may or may not continue the fight
to set at naught the new constitution
of Virginia. In all probability they
will, if the colored people, who seem
so fond of being humbugged, will
persevere in their work of passing
around the hat" They will not, if
the colored people, in the exercise OF
little common sense, conclude that
the opinion of Mr.. Wise is not worth
as much to them as that of the mem
bers of the highest tribunal in the
lard.

The Senate Courts Committee has
reported favorably a bill imposing
severe penalties for the failure of
ministers to return licenses after
officiating at marriages. The same
will be promptly acted upon by the
Legislature, it is stated, and become
a law, but whether ii does or not,
the ministers who have been lax in
this respect have only to be remind
ed, of course, of their duty in the
matter to give it their attention in
the future.
