RUSSIA A HoDoE-PoDoE.
Both State and Church May Be Termed
conglomerations of Incon-
gruous Elements.

The world has never perhaps beheld
such a combination OF incongruous
elements as the Russian empire pre-
sents to-day. The educated classes In
,clude some Of the best informed and Of
the most highly polished men and
women in Europe, many OF whom
openly express ideas OF an advanced
liberal type. They include also, says
the London Times, an intellectual
proletariat which has embraced, with
nj the ardor of the Slav nature, the
widest and most dangerous theories
tuf French and German socialists
These men have the tastes and the
ambitions which education brings
with no reasonable prospect OF graft
Tying either. Beneath Is the dumb
peasant order, permeated here ana
there with the new ideas which ting
Villagers who have migrated to the
newly established manufacturing CEN

isnen in the army bring home with
them. Over all the bureaucracy and
4the police exercise what is'itoo often
In practice an irresponsible sway
The church in her own sphere Is as
antolerant and as unenlightened as the
state. Most ominous Of all, the eco
nomIc conditions Of mobiles, Of manu-
GActurerst and artisans and OF the aeri-
cultural masses appear to be becoming
more and more grievous. The most
enlightened men of the empire deplore
the evils they daily witness and recogT
snize that profound, constitutional re-
forms are, indispensable to remedy
them. Yet they are acntely conscious
of the dangers which such reforms
must almost necessarily bring, ana
they have so far failed to devise any
known project which promises to Ell
feet the transition from the half-ori-
eutal, half-medieval state, which Rus
,sia now is, to conditions essential OF
the development Of modern lie ana
civilization.

PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR.
Variety Of Feminine Emery That
Will Be in Vogue for the
Fall Season.

Kid belts, especially those In black
or white, are to retain their popularity.
Any buckle may be worn with them, but
the harness buckle 10 considered the
smartest, the jewel and precious metal
buckles being reserved for belts OF rich
ly brocaded ribbons. reports the New
York Tribune.
Veilings are more elaborate than In
summer, many Of them being embroi-
dered in floral designs, printed in dainty
colors like the chiffons and mousselines
for evening gowns. But women OF con-
sentative and exclusive taste will cling
to the white or black small lace face
wells, or the long lace and chiffon wells
draped gracefully about the hat.
In the color combinations Of the au-
tumn displays green and blue have Q
prominent place; but nothing is so pref
ty as the golden brown and bronze
shades. A lovely hat. with long and
very full ostrich boa, is shown in' three
shades Of brown, running from tan to
deep chocolate. r...i -'''t
Brown chrysanthemums with golden
hearts trim a hat OF fine soft white felt.
This new felt is not the stiff or long,
haired felt Of past seasons, but is a.
soft and pliable as velvet. which II
will closely rival in the winter hats
modelled on forms.
Never was SO much shading seen, In
plumes, feathers, ribbons, flowers and
the new silk and wooden dress fabrics.
Some Of them are rainbow in effect,
while others are as lovely as a fine
pastel. t,.' ~
Even in leather goods, tan, russell and
burnt" brown shades are leading; and
lovely dressing cases, handbags, purses,
cardcases and belts are shown in tan
and russell mounted with silver or
nickel and lined with the same shade In
kid or heavy silk MORE.
Velvet shirtwaist dresses are shown
for early fall wear, as we'll as those In
the new checked materials, and the
mingling of browns, whites and orange
is pronounced in these.
The Partisan touch Of black is the
leading note in many of the handsom-
est toilets. Nothing is prettier than
rosettes of narrow back velvet ribbon

TO KEEP OFF MOSQUITOES
Pyrethrum Powder Burned on Live
Goals Will Be Found
Effective.

Anyone who is i'll with malaria or
yellow fever should be carefully pro-
tected from mosquitoes, for, should q
person 'bes bitten by an anopheles, the
| maiarial MESQUITE. or stegomyla fas-
Ciata, the yellow fever mosquito, at
this time, there would be great danger
that the insects might fly away and
bite some one else and thus spread the
| disease, says Popular Science Monthly.
| Screens for both doors and windows
form the best protection against mos
quitoes at all times; but 1t often hap
pens that the insects get into our
houses, even though they are thorough
lily screened, generally through some
door or window that has been left open
by mistake, or they may gain an en-
trance by coming down an unused
chimney If the flue is allowed to re-
main open during the summer time.
A house or a room may be cleared OF
mosquitoes by burning pyrethrum pow
der and allowing the smoke which is
not at all offensive to most people,
thoroughly fill the room that is under
treatment. This smoke kills or so
stupefes the insects that they will not
bite.
Pyrethrum powder is a preparation
Of the plant pyrethrum roseum, and is
sometimes sold as Persian insect pow
der or Dalmation powder; 1t can be
bought at any drug store for about 80
cents a pound. 1t is very fine, light
powder; and an ounce Of it will go a
long way, making large volume OF
smoke.
A pyrethrum smudge or smoke may
be started by covering live coal,
taken from the kitchen stove, with the
powder, first placing the coal upon a
small shovel, SO that 1t may be moved
about conveniently without danger OF
setting anything on fire. The pyreth-
rum will quickly begin, to smolder and
give of a dense smoke. All that is
now necessary is to add from time to
time pinch of the powder as occasion
requires, merely keeping the smolder-
ing ashes covered so that the smoke
will continue.

DIDN'T TOUCH THE DOG.
Supposed Owner Is Threatened, But
the Animal Wasn't Dis
turbed.

Placid but stern, brindled bulldog
sat in q bus. In the seat by his side
was an elderly gentleman. The con-
ductor came up aghast, says Paris
correspondent of the London Telegraph.
do you mean to tell me-" he said to
the passenger, that you are unac-
quainted with the police regulations for
bidding the presence Of dogs in buses
especially bulldogs?" he added, eying
the animal. What of that?" answered
the elderly gentleman. The conductor,
naturally choleric, like all his col
leagues, grew purple with rage. RE
move that dog instantly" he shouted
to the passenger, who, perfectly undis-
turbed, said: Certainly not" Then
get out and take the dog with you"
"By no means" II shall throw the
dog out myself" "Do So" But the
conductor did not, having caught the
eye of the bulldog, who was beginning
to show interest in the proceedings.
"I shall call the police" the conductor
went on. IF you like" The policeman
came. Monsieur is surely aware" he
began amiably, that dogs are not al
lowed in omnibuses?" IT dare say they
are not" the placid elderly gentleman
replied. 81 request you to remove that
dog" Most certainly not" II shall
then take out summons against you.
Kindly give me your name and address"
with pleasure, If you wish 1t. But on
what ground will you summon me, may
I ask?" This is too much. You are
defying the law. You will be sum-
moned for bringing a bulldog into an
omnibus" IT fancy not. Why did you
not explain before? That is not my
bulldog, and I have not the least idea
why 1t sits beside me-" said the elder
" gentleman, sweetly. At this the fury
Of conductor and policeman grew almost
lnartieurate. While they were strug-
xling to express their feelings, another
man in the omnibus got up suddenly,
vhistled, jumped out, and the bulldog
followed him. The rest OF the passen-
gers, delayed half an hour, hardly APP
preciated the joke.

Cowart, j. NJ. Kirkpatrick, A. f. Pow
ter, j. Wolfenden and George d. Moore
brought before the court on exceptions
from t Cir, uit Court, overruled the
exceptions and decided against the
plaintiff. The questions raised, dis
cussed and decided i'm this case are
mainly questions of practice. The case
is part of the litigation which has
been going on i'm the local courts for
several years and has been known col
liquially as the "Hagey Jag Cure
Case"
In the case of Albert Barnes VS.. c.

the decision of the circuit court. The
principal point decided is that the
facts in this case show that part
nership existed between the two men
regarding the property involved.
In the case of NJ. V. Siveira VS.. l..

The matter of the contract and con-
struction of the new Asylum was the
cause of a deal of worry round the
Capitol building this morning and up
to noon today there had been few If any
developments in the situation. AS be
tween the government and the Ameri-
an-Hawaiian Company the courts now
appear to be the only Intermediary.
One of the earliest callers on the
Governor this morning was Attorney
Wilmington of the firm of Castle and
Wilmington who represents the firm
which bid for the construction of the
new building and which now claims
that an attempt is being made to force
it to buy an expensive machine which
is quite unnecessary. wilmington and
the Governor had a long interview in
which the attorney disclaimed any res
possibility for the statements publish
ed as to the attitude of his clients.
The next to appear on the scene was
President Pinkham of the Board of
Health who was closeted with the
Governor for an hour and a half the
Attorney General being present a por-
ton of the time.
Pinkham when seen had nothing to
say on the matter save that when he
became a member of the Board of
Health he had dropped the experiment.

BERTLEMAN
IS ARRESTED
CHARGED WITH IMPERSONA TING
CER-IS A SERIOUS OFFENSE.

Frank G. Bertleman whose name has
been brought into unpleasant promin-
ence in police circles more than once
recently, was arrested at the police
station this morning on a Federal wal
rant by L. $. Marshal Hendry.
Bertleman was awaiting trial on the
charge of having beaten his wife, but
the United States process was given
precedence.
He is charged by Roy II. Chambe =
lain with having personating a United
States officer, an offence which upon
conviction may be punished by a fine
of $1,000 and three years Imprisonment.
The prisoner was taken to the Mar
shal's Office and a hearing before L. $.
Commissioner Judd was set for this
morning, at the prisoners request,
however, the preliminary proceeding
was postponed until Thursday.
1t is alleged by the officers that Ber-
tleman imposed on Mrs. William Oerth
of the Delmonico, representing that he
was an employe of the Internal Rev
enue Department Of the United States
and thereby getting a room and board
for which he never paid. 1t is said too
that another charge is pending as Ber-
tleman is believed to have represented
himself as a revenue offer to a num-
Der of Cinnamon.
Failing to get bail Bertleman was re-
manded in custody TO Oahu prison.

JAPANESE WOMEN MOVING BACK THE
LARGE NUMBERs-THE sToC KADE
YEARS AND DECLARED


A partial restoration of the condi-
tions which existed in the famous Iwi-
lei stockade is being sradually brought
about in the same district and already
about 200 women, over two-thirds of
them Japanese have established them
selves within the allotted district. There
is no direct police supervision this time
and no set of police rules for the fallen
women is on show, to shock the sensi-
bilities of those who do not think the
authorities should tolerate Iwilei con-
ditions nor is there nigh board fence
to enclose the district where the wo-
men may live or a manager over them
all who makes big profit for hui own
ing the places. But otherwise the con-
ditions of old Iwilei are being revived
and without exception police officials
and medical men who have taken up
the matter appear to agree that it is
good thing for Honolulu. Rules for the
benefit of public health are the only
ones enforced in the new Iwilei. Mem
bers of the Board of I1ealth are in pos
session of startling statistics showing
the need of such rules.

SEVERAL BRIBERY CASES.

Chin Chon was fined 325 today for
bribery. He was arrested originally by
police officer on a charge of common
nuisance and the officer claimed that
the man had tried to bride him. AM
other case of alleged bribery was alsG
before Judge Whitney this morning.
All Lee was charged with attempting
to bride another policeman to be re-
leased from arrest on some trifling
charge. Lee was thereupon charged
with bribery. The court today fined
him $15.
