Cnre of the shoes

Lax in their gaittrs. laxer in their gait is an old saying which applies well to the modern shoe anG its wearer. No saoe will keep in shape long unless | is put on tree when out of use. These trees" are very cheap. but most women look upon them as an extrav- agance. Another rue of the carefully shod woman is 10 rest her shoes for a day or SO. and always wear a different pair indoors. Low shoes are better for house wear, as they permit of yentila- ton. Select a strong ealfskin for walk ing boot. keep it well oiled. and your pedestrian trips will be made in per feet comfort. Keep an old pair of shoes 10 wear under rubbers as the perspira- ton which india rubber excites ruins good leather-Detroit Free Press.

A QUESTION OF ANCESTORS.
New Neighbors Had Not Descended. They Were Higher Than Their
 Folks Ever Were.

She wasn't quite sure whether she ought to permit herself to get on famil- far terms with the new neighbors. Of course it was all right to be on sufi- ciently intimate terms to borrow ket- tie now and then, but there is differ ence between kettles and calls. Besides. she had recently come into possession of q genealogical chart. and it made her more than usually particular, writes FL Iiott Flower. in Brooklyn Eagle.
 "Of course you have geEealogy," she casually remarked to the neighboT when they met ct the back fence. There are lots of people who have backyard ac- quainttnce. and TO front door acqlaint- ance. One isn't SO careful in the back yard.

 .Oh, dont mean living ancestors: I mean dead ones, interrupted the old resident.
 What's the good of dead o1es?" asked the newcomer.
 Why just 10 have them.
 How can you have them when they re dead?9
 The old resident was beginning to think the newcomer never would be able to give the password to get in the front door
 Its a satisfaction to know that you cid have them she explained.
 But you didn't have 'em," returned the newcomer. How could you have 'em. when you wasn't alive when they was on earth?'
 T fear I don't make myself clear. v said the old resident toleraEtly. I was referring to a family tree.
 ''Jim's folks have three orchards, . said the newcomer triumphantly

Japanese drilling on Kauai if any law
of the United States does, but of course
in the application of these laws the
courts have repeatedly taken a wide
latitude in ruling upon the applications
of the principles of the law to individu-
al cases. In the first place the Japan
csc who have been drilling are reserve
soldiers of Japan who have been on
leave and who have now been called
back to their colors. They are not, in
the widest sense, preparing a military
expedition against Russia on American
soil. At any rate they are not initial
ing a military expedition against Rus
STA on American soil. They are prob
ably drilling to perfect themselves in
the manual at arms, in which, through
lack of practice, they have become
somewhat rusty. The most serious fea-
ture of the case, and the new feature,
consists in their actual possession of
arms on American soil
Again under the law, it is a viola
ton of neutrality to prepare an expe-
dition against the territory of any for
eign prince with whom the United
States is not at war. There is no proof
that the japanese reservists called home
from Honolulu are called for any other
purpose than garrison duty in their own
country-but, if they should be sent to
the front in Manchuria they would not
then be taking part in military opera
tons within the territory of any power
that would object to their presence on
the ground of a violation of the neu-
trality laws on the part of the United
States. Manchuria belongs to China,
although a part of it is held by Rus
sian troops, and there is abundant rea-
son to believe that the japanese effort
to drive out the Russians has the en-
tire sympathy of the actual owners of
the country.

MATSUAOTO MORITARO, SENTENCED TO BE
HANGED FOR THE GLENNAN MURDER
DEC. LEICESTER DOYLE, WHO MADE OUT
THE CASE AGAINST HIM.

peared that Matsumoto blamed Glen
took mea sures to get revenge upon the
superintendent
GIennan slept in small tent at the
ditch camp, the tent being known as
the Ditch Office" On the night of
January g, 1904. Glennan went to his
tent fatigued with his days work and
was soon sleeping the sleep of a tired
man. The whole camp was quiet. Then
there was a terrific explosion and the
excited Japanese, and the white as
sistants of Glennan on the work, rush
ing from their tents, found the Super
intendent bleeding on the ground where
his shelter had been, and the tent it
self and the bed upon which he had
been asleep blown to atoms.
The first thought, of course, was
medical help for the injured man, but
the fiend who planned his death had
meant that he should not have even q.
chance for life. The telephone wire had
been cut short distance from the tent
in which the wounded man had been
sleeping.
/ Glennan lived but few hours follow
ing the tragedy. and suspicion hit at
once upon Moritaro, who had been
heard to utter threats against the SUI
perintendent He was arrested, and on
April 9th was convicted in the Fifth
Circuit Court of the murder of Glen
nan. A great legal battle has been
waged in his behalf, his case being car
ried to the highest court in the Terri
tory. but without avail. He must pay
the last penalty
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1904-12-10

Yesterday Governor Carter signed the
death warrant of Matsumoto Morita-
70. the japanese convicted of the muir
der of Albion H. Glennan, and the man
will be hanged in Oahu Prison on
Thursday, December 18th.
The murder of Albion Glennan was
one of the most atrocious crimes that
was ever committed in the islands. The
man who was slain was the superin-
tendent of work on the Makaweli ditch
on the island of Kauai, and in that
capacity hired and discharged many
Japanese laborers while the work was
in progress. Among these men hired
and discharged was the man who is to
die next week for the murder of Glen
nan. Matsumoto proved to be an ugly
ployment on the ditch, and besides be-
ing of bad disposition he was lazy and
neglected his work.
1t is in the testimony taken at his
trial that Glennan and Glennan's as
sistants had spoken to the Jap more
than once, striving to get him to pay
more heed to work, but it was of 20
use: The man would not work, and
turned ugly when he was spoken to.
As last resort he was discharged, but
not by Glennan. He was given his dis
charge by one of the assistants.
From the mans confession, obtained
subsequently by Chester A Doyle, who
worked up the case against him for
the Attorney Generals office, it ap-
