ST. MARCARET'S
 DAISIES SERENADED

The young ladies who are students at St Margaret's school were agree ably surprised last night when they were serenaded by twelve members of the St Johns Musical association. The serenade was all the more delightful owing to its being so unexpected
 About 10 o'clock members of the musical association met at the home Of one of the party and were served with refreshments. Then they went up Grove street and stopped in front of the far famed institution of learn ing for young ladies. Underneath the shade of an evergreen tree. occupying a conspicuous position on the beauti- full lawn, the vocalists stood and be- gan to sing softly and sweetly, then more strongly and powerfully, the words of Dudley Bucks "Hark, the Trumpet Calleth.'' Soon the windows of the dormitory opened and the heads of number of fair young ladies ap- peared Their faces were beaming with smiles. Several selections were then rendered with fine harmony. Among them were "The Untruthful Daisy" Dixie" and Bucks Good Night It was beautiful night for a serenade and it was q beautiful ser enade that was given. 1t was thor oughly enjoyed by the fair students. The members of the musical club showed that they have attained much efficiency under the direction of Direc~ tor William H. Miner.

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Boy Heavily Fined for Using Knife
 on a COmpanion.

A heavy fine was inflicted upon Samuel Penttino, boy about 14 years of age, in the city court this morning. He was charge with assault upon an other boy, Walter Clement. From the evidence offered it appears that Pent- tino and two companions were fishing
 at Forest park lake one afternoon last week. While there the boys were quarreling and the quarrel led to fight between Clement and Penttino. They clinched and wrestled and relied about the ground until Clement shout ed that he was hurt. When he arose from the ground it was found that he had been cut above the left hip with. some sharp instrument, knife ev1- dently. Clement has been laid up ever since. He uses cane in walking. The defense tried to prove that Gle ment might have received the accident by rolling on stone or a piece of glass or a sharp stick on the ground. Judge Burpee, however, said that the nature of the wound discredited any such assumption and it was evident that the wound had been made by a knife or some other sharp instrument. He accordingly fined the boy $25 and costs. An apeal was taken by Attor- ney Bauby, the boys counsel.
 The adjourned case of Charles Dom mic of Jackson street, who was charg- ed with running into a little girl on South Main street while riding on his bicycle on Thursday night was finished this morning. Dominic and several acquaintances testified that he was riding in the vacant lot opposite Wards fats on Bank street between and 8 o'clock, when he Is said to have struck the little girl and then to have ridden away without inquiring as to her injuries. Dominic was ac- cordingly discharged.

WAR ON COTTON wEEvIL.
Guatemala Ant Destroys Insects
 Preying on the Plant.

Guatemala Ant Destroys Insects
 Preying on the Plant.
 WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The depart ment of agriculture announces that an ant has been found in Guatemala that is an effective enemy of the boil wee vii. It will be immediately introduced into the cotton states. The greatest significance is attached to the discov- cry, which was made by O. F. Cook, the botanist in charge of the tropical agricultural investigations of the bu- reau of plant industry.
 The ants, like the Indians, probably came from the dry open interior pla- teau region, where the center of the aboriginal cotton industry of Guatema- la is still located. To establish the fact of such an origin for this useful insect would greatly increase the probability of its successful introduction into the United States.
 Although the cotton seems to be es- pecially adapted to attract the ant by means of its numerous nectaries, the insect is not, like some other members of it's class, confined to a single plant or to single kind of prey. It attacks and destroys insects of every order, including the hemiptera and even cen tipeds. On the other hand, it does not do the least injury to the cotton CT to any other plant.

NEW YORK, May 2S.-Physicians in the Harlem hospital do not like to think of what would happen to one of their patients, whose nose was bitten off and an artificial one supplied, if he should in a moment of thoughtless- ness attempt to light cigar.

A Fishy Tale.

TACOMA (Wash.), October IA
The Russian ship Glenard, just ar
rived here from San Francisco, claims
to have been overhauled when about
200 miles outside of the Golden Gate
by japanese cruiser and, after ex-
animation allowed to proceed to her
destination. After ascertaining that
the Glenard was merely in ballast,
without any cargo worthy of carrying
away as a prize, the ship was allowed
to proceed. The Japanese vessel
shortly afterward disappeared in a
southerly direction. Captain Enlund
was unable to give any reason why
the Japanese vessel allowed him to
proceed, as, under the ordinary rules
of war, the Glenard would have been
confiscated. He thinks, however, that
the Japanese vessel did not want to
be bothered with a windjammer.
The afternoon papers here have
scare heads on the story, but local
marine men do not know what to
make of the details given. Enlund
cannot give the name of the vessel
beyond that it is a long japanese one
Marine men hint that some Japanese
commercial liner bound either to or
from San Francisco may have run
close to the Russians and scared him

The steamer Texan is one of the fleet
of freight carriers which ply between
this Coast, Honolulu and New York,
and is one of the finest freighters in

that a handsome price must have been

ITO see the changes that occur A few
years ago when the Commission was
here, from the evidence given by the
people of Hawaii It was fair to as
sumo that their principal objection TO
the Territory's handling of lands was
that there was favoritism and arbi-
trary discretion on the part of the
Governor, and that in specific cases
where the law had not been complied
with title had been granted. Through
Mr. Pratt we took hold of this thing
to enforce the law and not leave II
open to arbitrary discretion. This will
be done by pure Interpretation of the
law.
Now. the people over there seem TO
