avowed enemy of anything that creeps

An accomplishment due to the uncon-
querable faith and courage of the early
pioneers in the field of electricity, as
we'll as to the capital and enterprise Of
those coming after. The name Of Cyrus
w. Field comes to mind as we read the
words of praise falling to Mr.. Clarence
Mackay, who has used his abilities and
capital to bring to speedy completion
the great work in which his father was
so deeply interested. Comparison of the

but both are achievements of which
Americans may Justly be very proud.
This new cable, the great Pacific ca

working order within Is months from
the time that the president, Mr.. McKin-
ley, suggested the need of such a cable.
The Atlantic cable was laid in 1858, but
it was not until 1866, eight years later,
after repeated and most discouraging
failures, and 13 years after it's sugges-
ton by Mr.. Field, that the eastern sub

seams are more or less hidden under
trimmings which finish of with drop
ends. Some are laced across with rib
bon, which falls in bows with tagged
ends over the sleeve; the dropping
shoulder effect is thus more accumulated
than ever.
Neck bands disappeared with the ad-
vent of the summer, rendering stoles
and scarves of lace or embroidery a
necessity in our variable climate. We
have fiat stole boas in white, gray or
fawn marabout, or in ostrich and other
feathers, which are dyed to match the
dresses they are worn with. The pref
test and the most practical are made
of silk in cream or black with frayed or
openwork edges. They can also be
made in silk to match the dress, and
trimmed with rich lace.
The stole end collars have become
rather common, and the only select COL
lars are those of old embroidered lawn,
sold at a very high price.
Coatlets are light, short wraps with
wide armholes. so as to be slipped over
the blouse or bodice quite: easily with

These coatlets or sacQue boleros are
made of linen, white or cream glace silk
or satin, faced cloth or cachemire. They
are trimmed with lace, Russian en-
broidery, or the new bolero fringe,
which Is composed of succession of
small hobs. Some are Of black glace.
Of
Ribbons, especially the Cluny- or
Pompadour ribbons, are very fashion
able for trimmings and sashes. Some
new makes of serge, light hopsack, mo-
hair and alpaca will make eminently
useful travelling, cycling and motor
gowns. A new motor bolero hat is of
fine kid cut in narrow strips, with al
ternate rows of silk herringbone
stitching between.
There is always certain amount Of
difficulty about choosing a hat to wear
with the demi-toilette. When in doubt
it is ever safe to adhere to the black
or white picture hat with it's ostrich
plume or simple lace curtain. Then,
too, we see an attractive display of light
tOques.
Now a really good black straw hat
looks we'll on so many occasions. The
shade to the face is nearly always be-
coming, and such headgear comes out
fresh again and again. Feathers are
not necessity, but remember that good
feathers keep in curl very we'll, and
with little skill can soon be restored
to their original beauty.

Mr.. Donald Murray, writing in the
Worlds Work, has compiled much in
teresting information about the worlds
great cables. Mr.. Murray reports there
are now 100000 miles of cables in the
world; that their cost of construction
was about $500, 000, 900, though their
market value is higher than that. Gov
ernments now own most of the short
lines, but nearly 80 per cent. of the total
cables is in the hands of private COM
panies. The cables of the world are
largely owned by British capitalists,
owing, probably, chiefly to the scattered
nature of the British dominions and to
the fact that the capital $3.50 900 ,00o)

offset any apparent advantage which
the American railroads may possess.
""Of course says an English writer,
1.-THE wonders Of American locomotives
are made the most of when British
railways are to be deprecated, but the
report of Lieut.: Col. Yorke, of the Lon

to the United States, shows that, owing
to fundamental differences in con-
struction, what is possible in the one
country is impossible in the other, and
we can never hope in England to equal

enormous rate at whichaehis trains
travel; but, striking an average, they
are far slower than the British" And
it is with good deal of satisfaction
that the Englishman can point his
finger over in the direction of France,
and say, with deprecating air: :""And

Legal technicalities here in Hawaii
as elsewhere are stumbling blocks of
justice. They are the peculiar bane of
American law and do more than all
else to bring the administration of JUS
tice into derision and contempt. In En-
gland quibbling over interpretations of
a statute has little respect either from
courts or juries. but in America it de-
cides grave cases. That is why, al
though there were 1852 homicides in
the United States during 1ss1-the last
period Of which We have official statis-
tics-the number of legal executions
was but 11s.
The proportion of convictions to ar
rests in Hawaii is almost as surprising
According to the report of Chief Jus
tice Frear there were, In the period
between 1896 and 1902, $3.50 arrests in
Hawaii and 1898 convictions. leaving
the enormous total of 1920 failures to
convict to the partial credit of tech
meal pleadings in the courts. OF per-
sons arrested for crimes against proper
" 1875 escaped conviction. very many
Of them on grounds that would not
have been tenable in any English court.
Where technicalities are so strongly
relied upon as here it is the duty of the
Legislature to buttress the laws in ev-
cry practicable way so that such de-
FENCES cannot be made on defects in
the verbiage OF statutes. There are
plain faults in the Hawaiian embezzle-
ment law, which is an old one and not
as comprehensive in it's terms. even. as
similar statutes on the mainland. In
fact government property can now be
stolen as it has been within the year,
