Oriental War Relics.

Fred. S. De Cew, who was aboard the
U. S. S. Yorktown on the Asiatic sta
ton and lately returned home, has
some relics from the wars on exhibition
at his fathers bowling rooms in Ala
kea street. One is the American flag
captured by Filipinos at Balabec on
Sept. 8, 1899, and recaptured three days
later by the U. S. S. Manila. Another
exhibit consists of a Boxers uniform.
jacket and trousers, taken from the
bodys of a Boxer slain at Tientsin. The
hole made by the bullet that killed the
man, with blood stains surrounding it,
is seen in the breast of the Jacket.
There is disc shaped insertion in the
back of the same garment, imprinted
in black with the Boxer embletns. 9th
er souvenirs are cartridges, shrapnel,
brass knuckles, etc, which belonged to
belligerent folks in the Orient.

THE NUUANU PARK
SCHEME DROPPED

The Nuuanu park scheme has been
chloroformed. AS formerly reported,
it was based on proposed land ex-
change between the Government and
the Trustees of the Bernice Pauafi
Bishop Estate. This was one of the
transactions pending when H. E. Coop
er resigned as Superintendent of Pub
lie Works, which Mr.. Carter on re-
ceiving the nomination for Governor
claimed should be reserved for decision
by the new Administration.
Governor Carter has now written to
the Bishop Estate Trustees, informing
them that for economical reasons the
exchange could not be effected. He
stated in effect that the Government
was not in a position at present to give
up revenue-produeing property for a
luxury.
The proposition of the Bishop Estate
was to convey the land at Nuuanu
avenue and Pauoa road for it's assessed
value, and take in, exchange certain
public lands on the Island of Hawaii
for a six per cent. capitalization value.

JONES JURY HAS
A GOOD TINE

The jurymen sitting in the Jones
murder case are having a good time.
They are staying at the best hotels
and living off the fat of the land, all
O. the expense of the Territory. A
murder tria' is always an expensive
necessity, for the jury must be kept
influence, from the moment the mem
bers are sworn until they give their
verdict
Baihff Ellis has charge of this jury.
The members are staying at the Ha-
waiian hotel and eating at the Union
Grill. Some of them have become
fastidious since they became jurymen
and are a bit particular about what
they eat. The usual breakfast con-
sists of mish and cream, coffee, eggs
and hot cakes. The native jurors
didn't like that and demanded salmon
and poi every day for their morning
meal. And they eat lots of other stuff
besides. But Lycurgus has to hunt UP
the poi every morning and give the
jurors what they want. Raw onions
is also a favorite dish and the supply
is running low in the city. One juror
objected to fish for lunch the other
day and insisted on having 'halibut'
instead. He got it, too.
Lycurgus says none Of the Jurors
are losing flesh over the murder trial
so we'll does he feed them. Some OF
them have increased in weight from
five to ten pounds and are still eat
ing, according to Mr.. Lycurgus.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
SHOOTING AFFAIR

There is mystery connected with the
shooting of All Chan, Chinese, by
Matsumoto, Japanese, which occur
red yesterday about noon. The two
men were taken to the police station,
the Japanese being held to await the
result OF the wound inflicted on the
Chinese A Chinese named Koon
Chong is held as a witness, he claim
ing that he had seen the Japanese
level a revolver-a 22-caliber gun-at
All Chan, and fire it.
All Chan was passing by Matsumo-
to's room when the revolver was fired,
or went off, and he felt the impact of
a bullet under his left arm. Matsu-
moto claims that he was at that time
removing some clothing from his trunk
in which he also kept a revolver. He
claims the revolver fell upon the floor
and was accidentally discharged, the
bullet going through the open door of
his room and striking All Chan. He
claims he did not know that the Chi
nese was struck, and All Chan did not
know at first what had struck him,
and certainly was unaware that Mat
sumoto was the cause.
Koon Chong went to the police sta
ton and told the police that he. had
seen Matsumoto point the gun at Ah
Chan and fire it. DR.. Emerson probed
for the bullet but failed to locate it.
He does not think any serious trouble
will result, as the wound is only flesh
wound. The affair is being thorough
ly investigated by the police.

HOLIDAY NUMBER
OF THE PARADISE

Some of the finest views ever shown
in a Hawaiian publication are illustra-
ted in the handsome eighty-six page
Christmas number OF the Paradise of
the Pacific which will be on sale to-
morrow morning, in time for mailing
on the Nippon Maru. The number
contains, besides some remarkably fine
illustrations statistics and informa-
ton of great historical and CONNER
cial value.
The cover is in colors, with an ocean
view and steamer set off by tropical
scenery. A poem on Hawaii
Where the sunshine only gladdens,
where the rain falls but to bless,
Where the breezes ocean laden, greet
you with a fond caress.'
also brightens the pretty cover.
IA poem by Alatau T. Atkinson, ''The
Spirit of Christmas occupies full
page facing the title, with text in ma
genta and holly leaf border in blue.
The number contains special articles
on the National Guard of Hawaii, with
photographs of the officers and of for
mer Governor Dole as commander-in-
chief, and his general staff; on the
Chamber OF Commerce with photo
graphs of it's officers, and on the Mer-
chants Association with photographs
of all it's members. The write-up of
the Merchants Association is a most
comprehensive one.
Other special articles are by Rev.
". D. Westerve1t. who writes on
rMaui, the Fisherman;" Through
Nuuanu,'' illustrated. and Entertain
the Tourists by Elinor A. Langton.
There are also special articles on
Coffee" ''The Naval Station "Wai-
mea and Eleele," Honolulu Hotels"
'The Cost of Living" How to. Get
Tourists "Ruins of An Ancient Hell
au,'' etc. There are also articles on
Governor Carter, with the members
of his administration and write-ups of
various business houses in the city, all
handsomely set off by clear cut Illus
trations.
The number also contains some re-
markable views which have never be-
fore been published and which might
be valuable in publications by the Pro-
motion Committee, which also has
write-up in the special edition. The
fisherman photographs! are unusually
fine, as are also the views of the city,
of the Pail and of the waterfalls.
The number is one of the best ever
issued by the Paradise of the Pacific
and would make a most acceptable
Christmas present for friends on the
mainland, and at the same time help
along the campaign for tourists.
