son, j. w Audubon, an active young
man, could not overtake it before it

Concerning the position OF the legs of
the loon, there is an ancient legend.
making this bird. He foIgCt all about
the legs but as it flew away he remem-
bered the omission, and threw the legs
after it. Naturally they struck the hind
part of the body, and there stuck.
But, however they got there. they an
swer the looms purpose very well, as
any one who las pursued him in a boat
will tell you. The usual experience is this:
The loon swims along with head. neck
and inch or so of his back above the
surface of the water until the boat comes
almost within gunshot. Then. if no sud
den movement has been made, he is
likely to sink gently out of sight, and
come to the surface again well out of
range
AT a sudden movement, or the slightest
sound. like the Cooking of a gun, it
will dive with incredible speed and swim
under water to a great distance, repeat
ing the trick as often as the pursuer has
patience to renew the chase
AS a rule, the northern diver, when
pursued, will endeavor to keep to the
open water. where he trusts to his diving
powers to save him from his enemies,
taking wing only in very exceptional
cases. If he be cornered or driven to-
ward the shore, he will dive like a
flash, and, swimming rapidly under the
boat, arise far out of gunshot on the
other side.
But experienced gunners seldom hunt
looms in this way, unless for the fun of
watching his skill as a waterman. They
usually wait until autumn, when the
birds are migrating, and shoot them
from boat as they pass high overhead.
Often. while lying in wait for birds on
the wing. these gunners see other looms
riding among the whitecaps. Now and
then great, crested wave will come
rolling along, threatening to bury some
intrepid diver in the flood, but the
pluclly bird at the last moment will turn
upon the monster, and diving through
its liquid base, will quickly reappear in
the quiet water on the other side
Looms often fall victims to their curl
osity. Gunners who know their weak
ness will lie concealed in the reeds with
guns at the ready" On seeing a loon
swimming at a distance they will wave
a hat or handkerchief for an instant
and then withdraw it. The loon will be
sure to see this and the chances are
that he will start toward it, swimming
and diving alternately. If he pauses, up
will go the signal again, and again the
bird Will advance When well within gum
shot a trigger is pulled and the mod
ern breech-loader at short range is one
too many even for the lightning dive of
IL loon.

BLONDE AND BRUNETTE

Separate from the rest Of the audience

be able to discuss matters and men with

seated at the theater last week 1t was
Dolly Warden" and in womans way
they talked of the show, the dresses, the
manners of the men and the looks of the
women. Between times they talked. 1t
was first of this, and then of that, but
mostly they turned the attention of their
tongues to the spring openings of the
week.
One was a blonde and the other had the
locks of a raven, and so, by their com
plexion, they will be known The blonde
greatly admired a tall dark-haired man,
who was playing the part of English
captain. Said she:

The blonde was small. Her companion

to be commanding. The black wigged
man of the stage did not please her as
did one other. He was not so tall as his
fellow actor. His hair was lighter, and
at times when the light was just right
1t seemed to be ''sun-kissed" To her. he
was by far the handsomest of men, and
his praises were thus sung:
Now, isn't 1t a pity that all the dear
men are on the stage? If l could only
find one like him in the world l would
run away and marry him so quick 1t
would make his head swim. Hes Just

graceful as fawn, and he holds you
like a dear. Never danced with him.
Well. at the next german, you try him
and if you don't think he is a dream

The curtain had dropped. and for
time their attention was directed al the
mserabes around them.
Isn't that an ugly dress?" asked the
blonde. THAT woman is dressing terri
bly, all the time now. It's such a pity
that so lovely a reature should run her
self to death at all these balls and par
ties. She is one of the sweetest girls in

THE WARY LOON.
Traits of the Bird on Land and Wa
ter-TraIs of the Gunners.

From the Washington Post.
No one who has tried to get within
gunshot of a great northern diver when
the latter floats free upon the water
will ever believe there is any sense in
the expression "as crazy as a loon" No
other bird, save the grebe, perhaps. is
more aquatic than this and not even the
grebe is his superior at diving and swim
ming. His powerful legs, set far back,
almost at the extremity of his body. are
as highly favorable to movement in the
water as they are unfavorable to move
ment on the land.
In the water the loon is a bird, fish
and an otter In one; on the land-where
ne is very seldom seen, by the way-his
movements are almost painful in their
clumsiness. At least this is usually the
case; we can hardly consider it invari-
ably so, in view of Audubon's stateme mt
concerning wounded and terrified loon

DAILY CABLE
SHIPPING NEWS
SAN FRANCISCO MARINE EN-
CHANGE STARTED SERVICE TO
HONOLULU TO-DAY.

Beginning today the San Francisco
Marine Exchange began daily cable
service to Honolulu. The first dis
patch gave the news of the arrival of
the 5, 5. Nebraskan at San Francisco
from Honolulu.
The service that the exchange has
inaugurated is a decided novelty to
Honolulu and will beyond doubt, prove
of the utmost benefit to local shipping
firms.
The service will be quite comprehen-
sive in scope as it win aim to include
reports of the movements of all yes
sells bound for or arriving from any
Hawaiian ports. The news Will in
clude the daily cable reports of sailings
all over the world.
one especially satisfactory feature
of the service will be the cable notif-
cation of the arrivals at and depar-
lures from San Francisco of passen-
ger and mail steamships. The Ex-
change has maintained a daily cable
service from Honolulu ever since the
opening of the cable last January and
the present arrangement will now make
the service complete. Local shipping
firms will be enabled to keep posted re-
garding the movements and presence
of their vessels.

HUMPHREYS
IN ARIZONA
THE EX-JUDGE CONTINUES HIS TESTIMONY IN THE DIS
BARMENT PROCEEDINGS TODAY AND TELLS SOME
OF THE INCIDENTS OF HIS LIFE IN ARIZONA-HIS
JUDICIAL CAREER IN HONOLULU.

ET-Judge Humphreys opened the
Summer case hearing this morning re-
surling his own testimony with some
additional personal statements re-
garding his career in Arizona. Il neg
lected several matters which l desire
now to mention, having forgotten them
last Friday" said Humphreys. Il was
a candidate for position of associate
justice of the Supreme Court of Ari-
zona and had the endorsements of lead
ing members of tha bar and other citi-
zens. Copies of these endorsements
were on file with the Attorney General
of the United States. / asked leave to
withdraw them and have them and the
letter with which the Attorney General
sent them to me, and can produce them
if desired. l was a candidate for dis
trict attorney before coming here. 1t
was a large district, larger than the
States of Massachusetts, Connecticut
and New Hampshire combined, and
was beaten by I votes. The gentleman
who defeated me is now an associate
justice of the Supreme Court of Arizo-
ma"
Humphreys resumed his story of the
Sumner case with an explanation of
why Sumner said that on returning to
Honolulu he was taken to Humphreys
office" This was because he was TAX
en- to the office in which he had known
Humphreys in 1898 and which had since
been occupied, by courtesy, by An
drews, Whiting, Fitch, Watson and
Highton in turn Humphreys said that
in the conference Ht Magoon's home
he had discussed freely his fortune and
had expressed a wish that he was al
ready off the bench, as his resi- ignation
had not yet taken effect and he there
fore could not take the Sumner case.
II realized that my career on the
bench had not come up to the eXpecta-
tions of either myself or my friends,
said the judge.
The basis on which the demand for
100000 more was made by the Ellises
was explained by Humphreys. Il cal
tulated that the $4S.000 was worth So
900 a year." he said. "At the age of
S4 | allowed Sumner an expectancy of
years life, which made $4,000 for him,
though l was informed by NJ. Q. J.
Hulchins. the insurance agent that the
expectancy was years. 1t was un-

derstOOd that the money was In trust,
and If there was tobe a settlement this
gave sumner his share and more. The
sum of $4,000 was left for expenses of
the settlement and l charged and re-
ceived a fee of $1,000. I never told Mr.
MagOon that he could charge his clients
$4,000 and that l could charge mine S5,-
600, for this agreement as 1000 had al
ready been made"
The Sumner hearing took a lively
turn at the close of this mornings ses-
sion when A. 5. Humphreys stated to
the court that he would admit that the
firm of Humphreys, Thompson & Wat
son had been negligent of the interests
of the Ellises, and that he proposed to
refund to them some of the fees of 49,
500 received from them. Frank Thomp-
son at once objected and refused to be
bound by such a statement. Humph-
reys during his testimony quoted some
uncomplimentary remarks he said he
had made about Henry E. Highton.
The time and occasion of these re-
marks was when he learned of High
tons letter to the Ellses and their re-
ply wherein it was agreed by all as be-
ing the fact that Highton had disap-
proved the compromise with the Davis
es, and had taken no part in the nego-
tiationS for It, These letters have al
ready been put in evidence.
Humphreys stated that when he re-
turned from Hawaii he met Watson in
his office and was informed that the
Sumner matter had been settled by
making over the payments of $4,000
each 70 the three Ellises. He was in
formed that the rest Of the money, $iS.-
OPS, was to remain in trust but that
no new trust had been executed. He
was greatly surprised at this and COM
mertei upon it to Watson at the time.
He did not say much to Thompson,
however owing to the latter's position
in the firm and the friendly relations
existing between himself and Thomp-
son.
The hearing is at present in a much
muddled condition. Thompson objects
to being bound by Humphreys testi
mony and he asked the court if it
might be considered as stricken out as
far as he was concerned. The court
would not ,aliow this. Thompson also
claims the right to call Humphreys as
his witness.
