TWO COURT DECISIONS .

II is decided by the Supreme Cour,
that to permit land to be overgrown
with lantana Is not allowing it to suf-
fer waste. Unless there is n contract
In lease to keep the land clear OF Ian
tana. the lessee cannot be held account
able for waste of land though he has
allowed lantana to grow on Il. The
decision has been rendered In the case
of ]. u. Paris VS.. Louis Vasconcelles
ct AL. wherein the plaintfi sued for
summary possession of land he had
leased TO the defendant IN North Kona,
on the ground that the defendants
have permitted and suffered waste Of
the said premises, in that they have al
lowed II to become overgrown with
lantnna and weeds"
The case was heard in the district
court at North Kona and judgment rem
dered for plaintiff which the supreme
Court sets aside in an opinion written
by Justice Perry.
Another decision just handed down is
to the effect that the evidence of in
formers in criminal trials is to be
judged by the ordinary tests. Judge
Hardy refused certain instructions for
the defendant in charging the jury in
the case OF All Sam, charged with H.
licit liquor selling and an appeal was
taken from his ruling. Justice Perry
WRITING the unanimous opinion of the
Supreme Court, says:
"The testimony of informers is TO be
Judged as to its truthfulness by tho
same tests as that of other witnesses
The motive or lack OF motive and the
interest or lack of interest of witness
in the matter concerning which the ties
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
10 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
informer as well as to that of the Other
witnesses in the case. and which woult
have been fair to the prosecution as
well AS to the defense, but none sucl
was asked"
Another point is thus discussed in tn,
syllabus:
"ln n case where. under the statute
an arrest may he made without a war
rant, the district court before which
the accused is taken for trial acquires
Jurisdiction, even though a warrant o
arrest which was served upon sucl
accused at the time Of the making o.
the arrest was improperly issued b!
reason Of the effectiveness of the com
lplaint upon which II was based.
Evidence otherwise admissible Il
not rendered inadmissible by the mer,
fact that II was obtained by an un
authorized search of the premises o
the defendant"

Visit Of ". 0. Smith
Talked In Washington

A Washington special to the San
Francisco Chronicle of. February 5th,
says:
Some little mystery surrounds the
visit here of w. o. Smith of Honolulu,
who came from the island paradise at
breakneck speed on the ostensible er-
rand of heading on Legislation provid-
ing for national leper settlement on
Molokai. AS Congress has not at any
time during the session had the slight
est intention of passing such an act,
and as the people OF Hawaii we're in
formed OF this fact, Smiths haste in
coming here was somewhat extraor-
dinary.
Now story is current that the op-
position to making Molokai a national
leper colony was deftly worked up by
Hawaiian politicians and financiers
who hope to get a ditch bill through
Congress. II is said the plan was to
make u show of desperate resistance 10
the leper scheme, which would I've
quickly withdrawn on the assurance
that the ditch bill would receive favor
able consideration. Smith is not
charged with completely in this
scheme.
Senator Burton OF Kansas has cham
pioned several matters desired by tho
Hawaiian planters. notably that OF i'm
porting Chinese semi-slave laborers,
but his efforts have met no encourage
ment in either branch of Congress
congress, in fact, is too busy lodging
offensive treaties and concocting trust
legislation to bother with the terri
iories. Hawaii has reputation, too,
in Washington, Of being the center of
expert political manipulators, and while
this reputation is no doubt undaserved,
anything proposed from that territory
Will be rigidly scrutinized. Senator
Mitchelliis authority for me statement
that no further legislation whatever
concerning Hawaii will be considered
during the session.

BELFAST
MEMORIAL DAY.

General orders were issued, under date of
Maine Department of the Grand Army of
the Republic by Commander Joshua L.
Chamberlain. Relative to Observances, and
directing attention to points which should
be held in special regard, in the form es-
as follows
'The thirtieth day of May in each year
having been designated and set apart by
grateful people as a Memorial Day to be
devoted to special ObServances in honoring
remembrance Of those who gave their best
powers and possessions for the defense of
their imperilled country, and the vindica-
ton of the principles which underlie it's
existence and shape its aims, the several
Posts of this Department will observe the
above-named day of the present year with
appropriate services.
1t is the custom on Memorial Day to set
the national flag at half-mast. In the opin-
ion of your Commander this does not ex-
press the controlling sentiment of the day.
We remember with reverence and tenderest
love all who having part In the cOuntrys
great defence have suffered and died for it.
But the flowers we lay on these graves speak
not of the dead but of resurrection. We
think of those who sleep beneath as exalted,
not laid low. Our sorrows and losses are
undergone for the sake of things that can
not die. The offering stands now for truth
vindicated and Righteousness triumphant.
Still, in memory of the cost of blood and
tears at which these things have been won,
the custom will be followed of setting the
flag of our regenerated country at half
mast"

The Law Regarding Forest Fires.

There is great danger from forest fires
during dry spell, and people who have oc-
casion to go into the woods should be very
careful about setting fires or dropping
sparks or cigar stubs. The following three
sections from Chapter 26 of the revised
statutes show that the law is very strict
in regard to this matter:
Section Is. Whoever kindleS a fire on
land not his own without consent of the
owner; ~ y y if such fire spreads and dam
ages the property of others, he forfeits not
less than ten nor more than five hundred
dollars and, in either case, he shall stand
committed until fine and costs are paid, or
he shall be imprisoned not more than three
years.
Sec. Is. Whoever, with intent to injure
another, causes a fire to be kindled on his,
or another's land, whereby the property of
any other person is injured or destroyed,
shall be fined not less than twenty MOI more
than one thousand dollars, or impr soned
not less than three months nor more than
three years.
Sec. II. Whoever for lawful purpose
kindles fire on his own land shall do SO at
suitable time, and in careful and pru-
dent manner and is liable in an action on
the case to any person injured by his failure
to comply with this provision.

CONCERNING LOCAL INDUSTRIES.

The Duplex Roller Bushing Co. has its
plant nearly ready for working to its full
capacity, and some departments are in Op-
Grafton. The iron furnace is fired every
two days and many of the machines in the
shop are running on full time. The com
pany occupies the whole of the building
bought of the Belfast Machine & Foundry
Co., the +. A.Knowlton store, and buildings
covering the whole of the O'Connell lot.
The iron foundry is to be enlarged to give
more moulding floor room, and for storing
coal and iron. The machine shop is en-
larged by taking out the boiler and office
and putting the electric motor on raised
platform. The KnOwltOn store is used for
the office and is to be fitted up for sales
room. The old house on the O'Connell lot
has been repaired for an oil storehouse.
The new building on the lot has six Sepa-
rate departments, for brass foundry, core
room, drying room, case hardening, black
smith shop and galvanizing. The brass
foundry is furnished with Schwartz melt
ing furnace, with capacity of 500 pounds
per hour 1t uses oil for fuel and is of the
latest improved pattern. The galvanizing
tank holds tons of metal. The company
uses removable hubs by combinations of
which more than 1900 different sizes of
sheaveS can be made from much smaller
number of patterns, and the company is
able to fill at once orders for any size of
sheave combined with any size of centre
pin in practical use. The metal used is of
the most durable quality, tobin bronze and
case hardened steel; the various parts are
made by special machinery and every bush
ing is tested before it leaves the shop.

Adjourned.

A reception was given in the Unversalst st
vestry in the evening instead of the evening
session, and was largely attended. Super
intendent Dunton presided. The meeting
was opened with trio by Mr.. and Mrs. E.
5. Pitcher and Mrs. f. P. Frost, followed
by remarks by Rev. Geo. S. Mills. He
agreed with the speakers of the day that
personality in a teacher counts for much,
as it does in preacher; that nature study
teachers should choose good reading for
their pupils and should study the individ-
uality of each pupil.
Five minutes were devoted to conversation
and followed by d solo and encore by Prln-
cipal Hal Eaton of the Belfast High school.
c. S. Bickford of Belfast spoke on the
benefit that "kckers' are to any line of
work, and especially to school work.
Rev. Ashley A. Smith responded in a
happy vein to some personal references
made by Mr.. Mills to himself and Mr.. Stet-
son, and agreed with the others as to the
personality of the teacher. Emerson said
"The object of education is to know more
of God," and all study should be in the line
to develop the spiritual nature.
Mrs. Frost sang solo and responded to
an encore.
Superintendent Stetson cited as marked
example of the effects of education Booker
T. Washington, whom he recently heard
address an audience in the South. Prof.
Hadley, Washington and Professor OF
Oxford University addressed the same
meeting and the negro lowered above the
others in eloquence and power of language
as though physically he we're tall enough to
overtop them with one standing on the 9th
er's shoulders.
Mrs. Pitcher sal hg solo, after which ice
cream and cake were served.
