A ROMANTIC ISLE.
Smallest of Hawaiian Group is Now
 Accurately Placed.

Smallest of Hawaiian Group is Now Accurately Placed.
 Many of the Pacific islands are not placed on the maps with high degree |of accuracy. The positions given to them have not been ascertained by the most scientific methods. Their places in the world have been fixed as ships captain finds his position at sea. The observation he takes gives results that are near enough to the truth for pur- poses of navigation, but are not of high scientific value. Some day the exact position, at least of all the important islands, will be ascertained, and this has just been done for Niihau, our smallest inhabited island in the terri tory of Hawaii, and the most western island of the group.
 MT. w. D. Alexander, of the United States coast and geodetic survey, re- gently found that the island was mis- placed on all the charts. He was in- structed by the Washington office to make a triangulation and fix it's posi- tion accurately. With two assistants he has just completed the work and Niihau will hereafter be found on the best maps exactly where it ought to be.
 This little island has had a rather TO- mantle history. Unless it has been sub-divided or sold quite recently, it has now been owned for over thirty five years past by Mir George $. Gay. The family includes MT. and Mrs. Gay and several children, who, except for an occasional guest. seldom saw any of their own race previous to our occupan- cy of the group.
 Mr. Gay made a comfortable fortune on the island, Of which he was the sole owner. The island is a great sheep ranch, embracing about seventy thou sand acres, and with native popula- tion of less than one thousand, who in- habited 1t sixty years ago.
 ; It would seem that here, if anywhere. the conditions were favorable for the perpetuity of the native race. MT. Gay did everything in his power to preserve the aborigines from the evils attendant upon civilization; but in spite of his ef- forts they have been rapidly dying out, just as their brethren in all other parts of the island group have been dwin- ding away.
 Living for over a generation in this isolated spot, MT. Gay and his family have seemed to be very happy in their retired and quiet home. As long as the kingdom existed MT. Gay, as gov- ernor of the island, gave much atten-. tion to the welfare of all his people,

 With the presentation of arguments in the appeal of Peter Kelly for con viction of murder in the second de- gree, the present session of the supreme court came to a close yesterday, over thirty actions having been considered during the sitting. Of these locally, the most important was Bryan's ap- peal from probate.
 In Kelly's appeal, the first ever taken in Connecticut from conviction of mur- der in the second degree, strong pleas were entered for a new trial. Kelly was convicted of murder in the second degree for having administered strych- nine to his wife. The evidence was purely circumstantial.

TO RECOVER ON NOTES.

Brought up on arguments in plea in abatment, the action of Leib & Co.,, of Baltimore, against Scobie & Hughes, of Norfolk, Va, was detailed before Judge Wheeler in the superior court yesterday. Attorney James D. Dewell. jr, appeared for the plaintiffs and Capt. E. L. Isbell for the defendants. Suit is brought to recover on notes for $S,00o given by the defendants to the plaintiff.
 According to the complaint, George w. Scobie has transferred his share in the estate of his mother, consisting of real estate valued at. s2O0OO to his brother.
 The consideration was given as S1,- 700, while the claim is made by the plaintiffs that Scobie's share was worth over s3.000. Plea in abatement is en- tered on the allegation that the case does not come within the Jurisdiction of the Connecticut courts.
 On the stand yesterday morning was Mrs. Amelia Scobie Russell, who gave the details of her connection with the case. Judge Wheeler reserved his de- cision.

and a sort of patriarchal regime exist
 ed there. The white family received tribute from the natives. who gave
 them at stated times a certain amount
 of labor and such supplies as fish, coco anuts and sweet potatoes.
 The late Dr. H. c. Bolton told of the pleasant days he. spent on Niihau as the guest of the only white family of the island. He said that, though the children had no white comrades to play with, they were as happy as children could be. making pets of various ami imals, which they tanned and cared for, Iand deriving also a great deal of en- Itertainment from their ponies and dogs. Ii time the island will doubtless be divided into smaller holdings and have considerable white population

to the material for two silk dresses,
purchased at a bargain, which she was
