rushing after him with orders to halt

kept on. When the poor fellow
dropped on his knees, the driver was
signalled to stop. The irate captain
came up just as the soldier began an
appeal to the President to shield him
from a threatened court-martial. The
captain ordered the man to get up and
take his place in the ranks, and his
manner was not extremely gentle.
"'Never mind, captain; let him talk.

Measures Distance at Sight.

A rather interesting distance-meas-
uring telescope has been recently pat
ented which would seem to have
many practical applications. The fact
that the distance Of an object-say
ship at sea, or spire seen above the
housetops-may be determined in
stantly and without calculation by this
device places the glass in class by
ITSELF The instrument is based on
the law Of optics, that If the same OBJ
ject be viewed simultaneously from
two different positions, the distance
between the two lines of vision will be
proportional to the distance Of the OBJ
ject. In other words, the angle form
ed by the two lines Of vision will vary,
as the distance. In practice, long
telescope tube is provided with two
reflectors about thirty-six inches apart,
and an object glass. which receives the
two reflected images of the object OBJ
served. These images, owing to the
disposition of the refiectors, appear
on the object glass one above the
other, and the horizontal distance be-
tween them is proportioned to the dis
lance of the object. A micrometric
scale-determined by actual measure
ment for one point, say mdle, and
computed for the other distances up to
the limits of visibility-is superim-
posed on the object glass, so that the
distance of the object viewed can be
read off accurately. For convenience

The Latest Couture.

The softly waved hair is drawn back
loosely and twisted in a long coil from
the nape of the neck to the very top
of the head, where it is arranged in
two or three puffs, above the pompa
dour. In the indentation made by the
coil is placed spray Of small flowers
and foliage, pinned closely to the head
or a long narrow comb, exactly at
right angles to the way back combs

this new manner, and half inch
band of amber ran from thes top OF
her pearl collar to the crown Of her

Electricity a Dislnfectant.

An Italian scientist claims to have
established that electric tramways are
great mediums in the disinfection Of
towns. He points out that the electric
spark, which is so frequent an occur
renee to the overhead trolley, and the
emission of light from the car wheel
when the rail is used for the return
current transform the oxygen of the
air into ozone which has purifying
and disinfecting influence. The high
discharges, he says, are frequent
enough to influence greatly the atmos-
pheric constituents, especially where
the line passes through narrow thor
oughfares. They become antiseptic
agents.

Abraham biHCOiu
on the occasion of his last review OF
an army corps, the afternoon OF
March rs, 1865, near Petersburg, va.
Continuing, he said: There had
been a fierce battle early in the morn
ing. The Union troops had been sur
prised by large force Of Confeder-
ates commanded by that Sdauntless
soldier who since the war has found
a warm place in nearly all American
hearts by. his high type of American
ism, his craftsmanship displayed in
the United States Senate, and as
popular lecturer, Lieut.-Gen. John B.
Gordon.
Gen. Gordon had asked and been
given permission to make an attempt
to break the Union lines in front OF
Petersburg, divide the army of the
Potomac and thus give Gen. Lees
army a chance to whip it in detail.
"The attack was made before day
light on the morning of the 25th, and
it was so much like one of Stonewall
Jackson's flank movements that for

success for the gentlemen in gray.
Gordon and his many thousands of
picked soldiers of the army of North
ern Virginia-than whom there never
were better fighters-torced their way
through lines that or folks thought
were impregnable, and charged
straight for Fort Steadman. which
they captured with all Of its guns and
soldiers.
"Up to that point Gen. Gordons
plan had worked well. He had caught
his enemy mapping, thrown 10000 Of
Lees best men plump into the Union
lines, captured one of the largest and
strongest forts, and seemed in fair
way to smash that part of Grants
army. But by this time Gen. Parke's
Ninth Corps had reused up and was
ready for action. The Confederates
were charged from three sides. 1t was
one of the most desperate struggles
of the war. 1t was in that fight Henry
w. Gradys father, M. Grady, was
killed. Soon after daylight Gordon
was back with Lees army, but more
than half the force he went out with
was in the Union lines, more than
1000 killed and wounded and nearly
1000 prisoners.

ried to the brow of the hill had failed,

MIRANDA WOULD

WHILE LIFE LASTS
THE CONDEMNED MURDERER
SAYS HE Is NOT AFRAID To
q DIE ON THE GALLOWS.

The condemned murderer Miranda
is seemingly but little depressed over
the awful doom that is awaiting him
according to the reports that come
from the Jail. When driving down
from the court room to the Jail yes
terday he said that he did not care & S
he had only once to die anyhow and
that he would sing for the next two
weeks.

afraid" he said. 81 am not a cow

Last evening Warden Henry of the
Oahu prison went TO see If Miranda
wished for anything. The prisoner
said that he had, not long to live so
he wanted to live well. He asked for
permission to smoke and this was ac-
corded him, Father Vincent has call
ed twice on the man and il is UNDER
stood that he will continue to call
daily. What has passed between the
condemned and his ghOstly COUNSEL
lOr is of course unknown the death
watch now in constant attendance on
the man retirin" out of ear shot
when the priest is present. II is not
thought that Miranda has made con-
fessiOn or received absOlutiOn as he
seems altO~ether too light-hearted
about the position that he occupies.
He said at his trial that he had
been brought up as a Roman Catholic
but that he had not been to church
since he was twelve years old. II
seems probable that in view of other
cases the unhappy man may break
down as the end approaches, return
to the teachings of his youth and re-
ceiVe the last Offices of his mother

NAKAPAA L..
CHANGES SKIN
KAUAI POLITICIAN WITH REPUB-
LICAN SKIN AND HOME RULE
HEART TO RUN AS DEMOCRAT.

News from Kauai brought this MORN
ing by the Steamer Mikihala, is to the
effect that w. Charmon of Koloa will
probably withdraw as senator on the
Democratic ticket, in favor of Luka
Nakapaahu who will take the nominal
ton and make the fight.
Nakapaahu is the same man who
served as senator from Kauai in the
last legislature and was a recent con-
vert from Home Ruleism to the ranks
of Republicanism. He was quoted as
declaring in a speech that while his skin
was Republican his heart was Home
Rule He denied this charge strenu-
ously and came up for denomination
but was turned down.
He now appears to have experienced a
change both of heart and skin. In
stead of remaining hide bound Repub
lican, he has, like the snake in spring
time, shed his Republican skin and don
ned the spotted due OF Democracy. As
regards his heart its fondest wish would
seem to be to do the best it could poll
tically.
w. j. Sheldon of Waimea has been
placed on the Republican representative
ticket, vice NJ. A. Rego, resigned.

Another instance of the wearisome
delay caused in the courts owing to
the absence of official interpreters
was given this morning in Judge
Gears court when the trial of Masu-
da, japanese, for furious driving
was begun. Proceedings were merely
started when it became necessary to
have both Japanese and Portuguese
interpreters and as neither could be
found Immediately a recess was take
en- while bailiffs were sent scurrying
about to find some men who could
tell in English what the witnesses
wished to say.
Both Judge Gear and Attorney
Cathcart delivered themselves in
strong terms over the false economy
which prompted the cutting out Of
the interpreters from the pay roll.
