TESTIMONY
TheSupremeCourt
Gives Its
Views.
To Be Judged by Same
Tests as Other
Witnesses.
Judge Hardy Is Upheld on Refusal
to Give Instructions as
Given by Gear.

THE testimony of informers is to be
judged as to it's truthfulness by the
same tests as that of other Witnesses .
said the Supreme Court yesterday in
upholding the decision of Judge Hardy
of the Fifth Circuit The case in which
the ruling is made is that of Territory
VS.. All Sam, charged with selling liquor
without license. and the decision
rather knocks the bottom out of the
repeated charges made by Judge Gear
and Judge Humphreys in liquor cases
in their effort to discredit the testimony
offered by the Territory.
The Supreme Court opinion is written
by Justice Perry, who says:
1.-THE court refused to give three in
structions requested by the defendant.
the substance of which was that the
evidence of the informer, especially a
volunteer informer, should be received
with caution and distrust,' with great
caution and distrust,' and should be
rigidly scrutinized. and that the
greatest caution should be exer-
cised by the jury in giving credence
and weight to such evidence. In this
there was no error The instructions
requested did not correctly state the
law.
THE testimony of informers is to be
judged as to its truthfuIness by the
same tests as that of other witnesses.
The motive or lack of motive and the
interest or lack of interest of a witness
in the matter concerning which the tes-
timony is given is always to be consid-
cred by the jury in determining what
weight to give to such evidence, but
this applies to all witnesses, and not
to informers only. The instructions
requested went too far in singing out
the informer. An instruction could
doubtless have been given touching
upon the tests of credibility generally,
and this one of motive and interest in
particular, which would have served as
a guide to the jury in determining what
weight to give to the evidence of the
as we'll as to that of the other
witnesses. in the case, and which would
have been fair to the prosecution as

The Supreme Court also gives its
views about several other points which
some of the circuit judges were empha-

CHILD'S MEDICINE
WHY?

Because SCOTS Emulsion re.
lieves such an extraordinary
variety of children's diseases
all the way from slight colds to
the serious hip disease.
Because SCOTS Emulsion is
asharmless as milk. Well borne
even by the delicate stomachs
of babies.
Because children respond SO
quickly to its action. A medi-
cine peculiarly suited to their
sensitive nature. 1t is wonder
full how rapidly delicate chill
dren improve in every way
while taking SCOTS Emulsion.
Because children like the
taste. Most of them like SCOTS
Emulsion at once. The rest
soon learn to like it. Little
daily doses bring the results.
Wen send you little to try. if you like.

HOW TO STOP A COUGH.

A simple but effective remedy is the
following:
Breathing through the nostrils, inhale
full breath as slowly as is possible
without causing fatigue. Expel the
breath in the same manner, and repeat
the operation ten times. This will stop
the coughing for about quarter of
an hour. Take a dose of Chamber =
lain's Cough Remedy during this lull
and the medicine will have a better
opportunity to act and will speedily
effect a. complete cure. 1t always cures
and cures quickly. Benson, Smith& Co.,
Ltd, wholesale agents, sell it.

YOU WILL NOT

be deceived. That there are cheats
and frauds in plenty everybody
knows; but it is seldom or never
that any large business house is
guilty of them, no matter what
line of trade it follows. There
can be no permanent success of
any kind based on dishonesty or
deception. There never was, and
never will be. The men who try
that are simply fools and soon
come to grief-as they deserve.
Now many persons are, neverthe-
less, afraid to buy certain adver-
tised articles lest they be hum
plugged and deluded; especially
are they slow to place confidence
in published statements of the
merits of medicines. The effec-
tive modern remedy known as
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
is as safe and genuine an article
to purchase as -four, silk or cot
ton goods from the mills of man
ufacturers with a worldwide re-
putation. We could not afford to
exaggerate its qualities or misre-
present it in the least; and it is
not necessary. 1t is palatable as
honey and contains the nutritive
and curative properties of Pure
Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us
from fresh cod livers, combined
with the Compound Syrup of
Hypophosphites and the Extracts
of Malt and Wild Cherry and
how valuable such blending of
these important medicinal agents
must be is plain to everybody.
1t is beyond price in Weakness
and lack of Nervous Tone, Ane-
mia, Scrofula, La Grippe, Lung
Troubles and Impurities of the
Blood. Science can furnish no.
thing better-perhaps nothing so
good. DR.. W. II. Dale, of Cana
da, says: 81 have used it in nv
practice and take pleasure in re-
commencing it as a valuable ton
ic and reconstructive." 1t is a
remedy that can afford to appeal
to it's record and represents the
science and knowledge of bright
and aggressive medical investiga-
ton. Effective from the first
dose. Sold by all chemists here.

Over a Week.

Akoni Au was found not guilty yes
terday of arson in the first degree, the
jury being out but few minutes. The
Chinese was alleged to have set fire to
house in Manoa valley wherein the
Home Rulers were holding a meeting.
He proved an alibi, however, to the

TEN YEARS FOR BURGLAR.
Tom Taylor, who pleaded guilty to
burglary in the first degree, was SEN
fenced to Oahu prison for term of ten
years by Judge De Bolt. Taylor claim
ed that he did not rob the house, but
that he stood outside and watched
while Grant Snow went inside. Judge
De Bolt, however, held that Taylor was
equally guilty, and said that there
must be a stop to crime. There are
two indictments standing against Tay-

Mckinley's FavOrite Flower.

"Carnation day" has been observed
all over the country as a sort of trib-
ute to the late President Mckinley,
who during the later years Of his life
was seldom seen without one of these
blossoms In his buttonhole. 1t Is re-
lated that Mr.. Mckinley never showed
any particular fondness for the carna-
ton until some girls attending the
Lake Erie College at gainesville, Ohio,
elected him an honorary member of
their class and pinned their class flow
er In his buttonhole. The incident oc-

college girls who had honored him, and
his attitude thereafter showed that he
appreciated their admiration. He of
ten remembered and was remembered
by them thereafter. Mrs. Mckinley
also took great interest in the class
and it's insignia and was accustomed
to provide a bunch Of carnations for
her husbands room each morning. The
first reunion of the class took place
when Mr.. Mckinley was nominated for
the presidency and the class sent him
a congratulatory telegram. He visited
the college several times and was a
member Of Its board Of trustees.

Cinnamon in the States.

1t Is estimated that there are about
100000 Cinnamon in the United States
and that 10000 Of them are in San
Francisco. There Is considerable
Chinese colony in New York and there
are small colonies in Philadelphia, Bos-
ton and Chicago. Though they do not
belong to the educated classes, 95 per
cent of them can read and write. A
daily paper in the Chinese language
Is published in San Francisco and an
other in New York.
Nearly all the Cinnamon in the Uni
ted States come from the single prov
ince Of Kwong-Tung, the most popu-
lous Of the eighteen provinces Of the
Chinese empire. It's capital is Canton.
Six counties Of this province send out
most of the emigrants to the United
States. The inhabitants Of this prov
ince have for centuries been more ad-
venturous and fonder of travelling than
the rest Of their fellow countrymen
and they are always ready to face
danger If there is a good chance Of
profit.-Leslie's Monthly.

DUKE OF TETUAN. seventeenth ce :
fury on the collapse of war which
they and the O'Neills, of Tyrone,
waged against the English invaders.
In the last century the Duke of Tetu-
ans father, Marshal Leopold O'Don-
nell and the first Duke of Tetuan,
came into prominence for the part he
took in expelling Joseph Bonaparte
from Spain. In 1861 the same general
subdued the Riff tribe of Moors, in
Morocco, and thereby earned the title
of Duke Of Tetuan, after one Of the
towns Of that country which he cap
tured. Prior to that he was prominent
in putting down the revolt of 1S4S
and became Prime Minister of Queen
Isabella.
The Duke of Tetuan who has just
died served for many years as Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs and in such
capacity received our Minister, Mr..
Woodford, when the latter was ap-
pointed to the Spanish mission. Dur
ing the Spanish war period his name
was mentioned in connection with the
premiership. In 1899 he was SPANS
delegate to the peace conference at
The Hague.

Jananese Dentistry.

The Japanese dentist does not fright
en- his patient with an array of steel
instruments. All his operations In
tooth drawing are performed by the
thumb and forefinger of one hand. The
skill necessary to do this is acquired
only after long practice, but when
once it is obtained, the operator is able
to extract half dozen teeth in about
thirty seconds without once removing
his fingers from the patients mouth.
The dentists education commences
with the pulling out of plugs whivh
have been pressed into soft wood; it
ends with the drawing of hard pegs
which have been driven into an oak
plank with a heavy mallet.

Judge Shiras was born in Pittsburg

Persons are accustomed to speak of
the high spirit of man or woman
or a horse, and call it a strong quality.
That depends. A high spirit-temper,
as we call it's valuable only as it is
under control. Parents do not always
understand this. Too often, when the
young child tlouts itself in irritation or
in anger, the father and mother laugh
at the exhibition. Later they learn with
regret that they have an unrestrained
spirit to deal with. Schools do not al
ways teach self-control as they ought.
What is called discipline" is often an
arbitrary thing adapted better to pro-
woke than to control the temper of chill
dren. More than half of culture is con-
troll. And restrained power is one of
the secrets of success. When men
want power from water they restrain

Time and Plates Wasted ON Pictures

reporter Of the Times, that Of snap
Shooting living fish In the exhibiting
tanks here at the aquarium is about the
worst on the list.
ITO the unsophisticated," continued
Mr. Spencer, sit seems an easy matter
to make a good picture Of the larger
fishes as they swim lazfly about their
tanks. The water appears clean and
the light seems all that could be de-
sired, and almost every day some en-
thusiastic but deluded kodak field
makes the round of the aquarium snap
ping the most desirable groups.
s'But it Is not always the amateurs
who are fooled" went on Mr.. Spencer.
"Quite recently reporter on one Of
the illustrated dailies came here, ac-
companied by staff photographer, and
asked permission to make some pictures
to illustrate story. OF course, per-
mission was granted, and, although
warned as to the fruitlessness Of his
undertaking, the Photographer pro-
ceeded with his work and departed
confident that he had several good
views, but was by no means surprised
when shortly afterwards a messenger
from the paper dashed in and inquired
