ings of Judge De Bolt wherein he con-
firmed the authority of A. s. Hum

this Territory. or to any judge thereof.
Also that the caption is ambiguous, un-
certain, unintelligible and insufficient

Their, the declaration contains no pray

MISS DAWSON
VISITS WAIALEE

Miss Rose Dawson, the school agent,
said to a newsgatherer of the Adver-
tiser yesterday:
II was down seeing the boys indus
trial school at Waialee last Sunday,
and was perfectly delighted with what
saw. There We're four taro patches
planted and four ready to be planted
When you know that the ground used
to be a swamp of rushes you may real
ize the amount of work 1t means.
"Then the boys have built a poi
house and have the carpenter shop
nearly completed. 1t was hard to be-
lieve that this was the work of chill
dren. Vegetables are growing. There
was lettuce ready for the table, The
boys had started building fence !, the
posts being up and ready for wiring
this week.
"They are nearly all small children,
eight to twelve years of age. only half
a dozen or so being fourteen and up
ward. The boys are crowded and the
tnlTe accommodation Planned cannot
be prepared too soon. Money is appro-
priated but 1t is in the loan bill and
there is no saying when 1t will be
available.
The boys when / questioned them
said they were very happy. Every
morning they take sea bath. They
look well-fed. There has been no sick
ness among them over there, whereas
while in Honolulu some were sick all
the time. The institution needs lot
of care because the children are so
young. Still they looked on Sunday
like lot of kids on picnic.
"Mr. Atkinson Is talking of going
down next Sunday. The guards like 1t.
The old carpenter, who Is mechanical
instructor, was up today and he said
he didn't care about coming to town,
II was so pleasant at Waialee.
II forgot to say the boys have put up
water tanks, doing the cement work
themselves. and they are going TO fix
up bathroom. 1t will be a nice place
to visit when all completed"

Hawaiian Finances.

The Territory Of Hawaii is in the
enjoyment of high degree or SELL
government. 1t comes high, but the
people must have it. The appropri-
atoms for carrying on the government
amount to SIS per head of population.
For the government of 10000 people
the cost is $S,424, S59.49 for two years.
The income to meet this Is only S4,-
100000 for the same period. To meet
the budget borrowing against future
taxes is proposed, but that is simply
getting income and outgo still farther
apart. A tax of SIS per capita is prob
ably the highest levied by any Gov
eminent in the world. When local and
municipal taxes are added, annexation
appears as the greatest luxury on
earth If measured by it's cost. Neither
under the monarchy nor the mission
airy oligarchy of Dole did taxation
come anywhere near the present figure.
The government purchased at SO
high a price does not seem to justify
it's cost by its quality, for it is not
very good government. If affairs go
on at the present pace the Islands are
bound to go heavily in debt Wh.n
a career of extravaganza Is once begun
1t Is difficult to arrest the pace. In
Hawaii, as elsewhere, there are large
numbers of voters who are not mate
rally touched by taxation, but who
touch the results Of taxation benefi-
cially to themselves. These are APP
pealed to by a lavish policy Of expen-
diture, and their votes can be counted
on to continue in power any legsla-
tors who have excessively liberal views
on public expenditure. By and by there
will be an insolvent dependency on our
hands, and Uncle Sam will have to rut
his hand in his pocket to pay the bills
of his youngest daughter.-The Call.

MADE HER FACE
GREEN AND YELLOW

Mary Matte Ferreira tells some bad
things about her husband in a suit for
divorce filed yesterday. His name is
Joseph Ferreira and she accuses him
of all manner of Enthusiastically doings.
He was cruel and deserted her and the
acts of cruelty are given in the petit
ton with great amount of particu-
larity.
The first act of cruelty occurred
within three months of the marriage
when the "libellee being man of quick
and ungovernable temper struck libel
liant in the face, damaging and injuring
her so much that her face was black
ened and thereafter turned yellow and
green"
On another occasion at night, she al
leges that she was assaulted by her
husband, because she asked for TWEEN
ty-five cents with which to buy eggs
and that then he told her that her
mother had no right to marry Jap
anese When the woman demonstrated
he pulled her out of bed and kicked and
beat her, and "he grasped the plaintir
by her shoulders, and against her out
cries, and while outcrying beat her
head against the wall, and that he
lifted her out on the veranda or the
home and was about to throw her over
the veranda saying Get out of here,
l don't want you anymore when JOS.
r. Costa interfered." On this occasion
she remained out all night and finally
sought shelter at her mothers house.
Still another time she alleges that ne
beat her so as to cause the blood to
run and asked her If she wanted to
fight. thus frightening her greatly.
Divorce and restoration to her maiden
name is asked.

Sisal In Puma.

Robert Rycroft is strongly impressed
with the value of Hawaiian rocky soil
for sisal culture. Many years ago
when he was living at Pohoiki, Puma.
Hawaii, he had some sisal growing
down by the beach. One day a strang-
er en- route from India to Yucatan,
where he was going to see sisal, came
along and remarked that the sisal near
the shore was not looking very well.
IT told him." said Mr.. Rycroft, ito
come with me to native kuleana a
little way back where he could see
the real thing. A sisal plant was grow
ing there which astounued him for its
size. The stranger was only sorry that
he could not get a picture OF 1t for,
he said. In all his varied experience
with sisal he had never seen such a
perfect specimen. I know" added Mr..
Rycroft. that there are thousands
OF acres in Puma which might be COW
cred with such a growth"

AN OLD STORY
BROUGHT UP AGAIN

An interesting story taken In con-
nection with the recent suit in Homo
lulu against Claus Spreckels is pub
lished in the San francisco EXAMINE
er of July goth. 1t relates to a former
marriage OF the husband of the
Spreckels' girl who is now suing her
father for possession Of 100000 worth
of property in Honolulu. The story
follows:
From the London divorce court comes
a romantic story concerning Anom-
as Watson who eloDed with Miss
Emma Spreckels, the daughter Of
Claus Spreckels. And strange to say,
while he is defendant in an action
for divorce, 1t is not the former Miss
Spreckels who is the plaintiff, but the
first wife of Watson.
Mrs Watson No 1 desires to know
whether she has been legally divorced
from Watson. She has been In court
twice for the purpose of obtaining a
decree, and each time succeeded, but
she wants to make absolutely sure.
Once she Journeyed to Utah, as 1t was
not necessary to daily there long to
get a judicial decree. That was in
1876 1t was In 1879 that Watson came
to this city and engaged In business.
One day In 1896 he run away with
Miss Spreckels. They went to San
Jose and were married. Subsequently
they journeyed to England, and have
lived there ever since.
In speaking of the matter, the Scot
fish weekly Record" published In
Glasgow. prints the following:
1t was explained by counsel that Mrs.
Watson, In 1874, obtained in this coun-
try decree Of judicial separation from
her husband. In 1876 she obtained a
divorce in Utah on the same grounds
as those on which judicial separation
was granted in England. Since that
time the husband had remarked.
WANTS TO KNOW HER STATUS.
There was no desire to impeach that
marriage; but petitioner desired to
have her status defined. 1t now ap-
peared that the divorce in Utah was
a good one, as Mr. Watson at the
time had American domicLe. His
lordship was now asked to say wheth-
err there was sufficient domicile to give
the Utah court jurisdiction.
Mr.. Thomas Watson said he married
the petitioner in the present case In
1863, and they separated in 1872 There
was on child OF the marriage IN
February, 1874, he went to America
with his child, and his wife afterwards
obtained decree of judicial separation.
He settled in New Jersey, where h,
had n farm, and in 1876 took out pa
pers of naturalization In America. In
1879 he went to San Francisco, and
was in business there until 1898. He
heard of his wife getting a divorce in
Utah in 1877, and he was advised that
was a legal divorce.
He married his present wife in De-
cember, 1896, in California, and had
since come to live in England with
her.
II. Newton Crane, an American bar
rlster, and member of the English
bar. was called upon to prove the legal
ity of the Utah divorce
The president on this said he was
satisfied of Mr.. Watsons American do
micile. and that, according to the laws
Of the State OF Utah. the divorce was
a good one by the consent OF both
parties.
He therefore dismissed the present
petition on the ground that there was
a subsisting marriage. the marriage
having been dissolved by competent
jurisdiction in 1876

Dublin. July 25.-King Edward on
Thursday reviewed $4,000 troops and
5000 men of the naval brigade in
Phoenix park. The scene was by
far the most brilliant Of the many
witnessed since their majesties' ar
rival in Dublin. 1t was the largest
muster of troops ever seen at . review
In Ireland. The Duke Of Connaught
was in command.
1t was, after midnight when the
days festivities closed. The King
and Queen held special court at the
castle in the famous st. Patrick's hall.
which was gorgeously decorated and
Illuminated for the occasion. There
they received the most representative
body OF the Irish nobility and the Irish
people which had been seen at the cas-
tie in many years. Queen Alexandra
wore a cream-colored gown embroid
cred with gold. She wore vari-col-
ored jewels in the form of shamrocks
and her diamond ornaments were set
In designs OF rose. thistle and sham
rock.
The influence of the sovereigns se-
cured the social union which English
statesmen had vainly sought to at
tain. The Irish guards acted as a
guard of honor and the grand stair
case was lined with lancers 1t was
function OF regal magnificence.
