POLICE OFFICER CHASES CROWD
NOW THOUGHT TO HAVE STOLEN

Officer John Kaaua fired three or four
shots i'm the air early this morning to
try and brighten five men and youths
into stopping in order that he could as

late, but the fellows sought safety in
flight leaving several musical mstru-

From circumstances later reported to

morning and reported that some one
had broken into his store on Beretania
street near Alapai, and stolen a num-
Der of musical Instruments. The inn.
struments that the men had dropped
when the officer ordered them to halt
were shown silva, and the latter iden-
titled them as belonging to him.
Silva says that last night thre. Por-
tuguese and two native youths entered
his store, priced musical instruments
and asked him where the Chinese wash
house was located. Their actions arous-
ed his suspicion. He is of the opinion
that they are the same parties who lat

place.
Certainly the movements of the men
seen by the police officer would be such
as might be taken by thieves escaping
from the neighborhood of Silva's store
The police officer saw the crowd sneak

probably be able to apprehend the men.

RAWLINS'
COMMISSION
LAWYERS IN WAILUKU SEEK TO
NULLIFY HIS ACTS AS DEPUTY
ATTORNEY GENERAL.

WAILUKU, March 1S.-All the attor-
neys that are in attendanceuat this
term of the Second Circuit, joined
hands in moving the Court to nullify
all the acts of the Grand Jury, by
reason of the presence of William
T. Rawlins during their deliberations
The attorneys are j. L. Coke, j. NJ.
Vivas c. w. Ashford, J. L. Kaulukou,
w. F. COckett and D. H. Case. On
Tuesday morning, as had been antici-
pated, this motion was before Judge
kalua for a ruling, on the ground that
the commission issued to Deputy Attor-
ney General Rawlins was not valid.
After long arguments on the motion
pro and con, the Court ruled that the
commission was valid, and thus settled
all further possibility of questioning
Rawlins' commission. However, in ev-
cry criminal case which has been tried,
and which has been lost by a defend
ant, the attorney representing the de-
Tense in every case noted an appeal,
basing the contention on the illegality
of the commission issued to w. 7.
Rawlns, as a ground for such appeal.
In the case of Territory of Hawaii VS..
John Keawe, charged with manslaugh-
ter in the first degree, and against
whom a true bill was found by the
Grand Jury, two attorneys were as
signed to Keawe. However, the eager
ness Of the six attorneys to test the
commission, induced them all to assist
in the defense, and this same question

LORD CURZON AND THTBET.

1t is impossible to Judge of or even to
deal with the great Thbetan question
that is now being reopened by Lord
Curzon, who is skilfully insisting on
the old and, indeed forfeited Sikkim
treaty, without being prepared to treat
all the public information and official
measures on the subject as mere trick
cry, and not as the actual basis or de-
velopment of a policy, And this simple
statement may exempt me from dis
cussing the innumerable comments
very able, very European and, unfor-
tunately very useless-that have been
evoked by the strange, very Asiatic and
very important Thibetan puzzle.
Lord Curzon-I venture to say it
without any ironical intention-is TIA
most Asiatic gentleman who has ever
been intrusted with the government Of
England's Asiatic empire. He has the
courage deliberately to oppose the
moral tendencies which reign in these
times in Europe, and to employ against
the awful expansion of Russian infiu-
ence throughout Asia the very means
that have secured to Russia her brill
liant successes. He is putting forward
political designs, the publications of
which can do no HARM in order to have
a free hand with respect to enterprises
that can only succeed in perfect sec
recy. In Asia the fat accompli is the
sole diplomatic weapon of any value,
and all the. rehnements of oriental
method consist merely in the art of
bringing about fats accomplis without
giving the adversary any opportunity

TOO FOND OF OPERATIONS
Surgeons of the World Criticised by
q New Zealand Brother Because
of Love of Art.

A New Zealand surgeon has started q
discussion of modern operative methods
in surgery which has awakened great
wrath in the bosoms of specialists.
They resent, bitterly, this surgeons sug-
gestion, offered with true fraternal cour-
esq, that operations, such as that for ap-
pendicitis, are often performed just to
be ADDING. For instance, attention is
called to the removal of the appendix
every time when an abdominal opera
ton makes it easily accessible. To this
a London specialist makes the tart re-
ply that abdominal operations may be
likened to the art of burglary. The risk
is in entering the house. That safely
achieved the wise burglar is not salts
fed with two spoons, but takes all the
family plate" This similitude has been
caught up again by the opposition and
carried on into the subject of fees. 1t
is strongly intimated that the surgical
ideal is a hollow shell with all the Or
gans removed by operation and the
pockets inside out.

TO RESERVE C%HESTNUTS.
Novel Table Luxury That May Be Pre-
pared at Small Cost and Is
Very Dainty.

The housewife who wants to provide
costly luxuries for her table at small ex-
pense would do well to preserve some
chestnuts. Chestnuts preserved in strip
can be served in a variety of dainty
ways. They may be nodded in orange or
lemon jelly, or served in glasses, with a
covering of whipped cream, and accom-
panied by waters at the close of a dinner
will delight the most fastidious diner. To
preserve chestnus in strip, says What to
Eat, use as soon after they are gathered
as possible. With a sharp knife score
each nut on one side. Cover with boil
ing water, cook five minutes; drain and
dry. Add a teaspoonful of butter to each
pint of nuts, and stir or shake over the
fire for five minutes. This loosens the
shell and their inner skin, which are now
removed together. Shell while hot.
Cover the nuts with cold water, and to
each pint of nuts add a tablespoonful of
lemon juice. This is to harden the nuts
that they may not break while cooking.
Let stand over night. In the morning
drain, cover with boiling water and sim
mer gently until tender, from n to two
hours, according to age Of nuts. When
tender, but firm, drain. Cover with a
strip made of sugar equal in weight to
nuts and half the quantity of water.
Simmer for one hour, set aside until the
following day; heat, drain strip from
nuts, reduce strip by rapid boiling for
Is minutes; add the nuts. Now add
whatever %flavoring matter is desired.
One may use an inch length Of vanilla
bean to every quart of nuts, or the juice
and thin yellow rind Of lemon. Or M
may prefer orange flavoring or half a
pint Of maraschino may be added to
every quart of nuts. 1t is a simple mat
ter to divide the nuts in portions and
vary the f1avorings. Pour nuts and strip
into small glasses and seal when cold.

Whether a candidate who has re-
ceived the popular vote of the u
try, and still lacks enough electoral
votes to give him the election, feels
altogether defeated or not it would be
hard to tell, as we have no record OF
the opinions of the three men who
have had this unique experience.
Jackson, Tilden and Cleveland went
into the unsuccessful list with a large
popular vote. The people apparently
were with them and yet the large vote
they polled was SO distributed as to
lose them the election.
Jackson was the first presidential
candidate to have this experience, he
polling a plurality of $4,000 votes over
thai of Adams. Tilden had the large
plurality of $780, 35 over Hayes in 1876.
and Cleveland in 1888 had nearly 10O,-

Rural Wits Triumph.

Occasionally the smart city man who
endeavors to be witty with the rural
ties he passes finds that the laugh is
en- himself, says the Chicago Record
Herald. A party of New York actors
were spending their vacation the last
summer at a cottage near Kennebunk-
rcrt, Me.
They took UP sailing with all the en-
thusiasm of the amateur, and had be-
come sufficiently expert to trust them
selves upon their small sloop without
a skipper to guide them. In this hap
by state they drifted up the small
river that empties into the ocean near
their cottage under a gentle breeze.
One Of them caught sight of a bucolic-
looking native watching them with in
terest from the shore.

York thespian sang out. Feeling

"Middlin' good" was the reply.

remained in the executive mansion
until midnight Of the third Of March,
1901, and then he and his family de-
serted it, leaving it vacant for Jeffer-
son, and with nc host to welcome
him.
The effect of defeat upon Horace
Greeley was pathetic. Political re-
verses bring disappointments to all
men. Some carry the disappointment
lightly, and recover quickly their de-
pressed spirits; others experience a
lifelong bitterness and resentment,
but Horace Greeley was completely
crushed. His heart was broken, and
defeat sent him headlong to the grave.

"My wife," he says, was assailed for
fifteen years by q combination Of all
ments following the birth OF n first
child. The food she ate fermented in
her stomach, she had frequent dizzy
spells, her limbs were swollen and pain
full, her nerves were quite shattered, she
was unable to sleep and she was many

relief. Finally the favorable reports Of
some relatives and neighbors led her
to make trial of DR.. Williams Pink

rienced improvement almost at once.
They relieved her sleeplessness, the
smothering sensations have disappeared
and have not annoyed her for years.
They freed her from stomach trouble
and the dropsical tendency was miti-
gated. The progress Of the rheuma-
tism, which had begun to make her
fingers crooked, was stayed and the pain
was banished. In every respect they
gave her more help than any other rem

in better health than for many years.
