LAND TITLES.

The fact that Pacific Heights people
have had to buy their own lots over
again for want of a clear title shows
how much is risked by the careless
methods of realty transfer which have
been inherited from an innocent past.
During the last few years when
buyer came into the market for real
estate his request, if he made one, for
an abstract of title was met with a
stare of surprise and the remark:
'"That is not the way we do business
in Hawaii" The buyer was expected to
take the land on faith. That is what
the Pacific Heights purchasers did, not
knowing that blanket mortgage COW
cred the lots they had paid for.
There is but one safe way to buy
land in Hawaii and that is with Tor
renS title.

BATTLES OF oTHER WARS.

"rThe war in the Far East" said a
former Confederate officer living in New
York has been full of surprises ana
quick action. But there is one thing
which has surprised me, and that IS
tho ado that has been made over the
fighting, thus far.
II am pro-Jap, but as an old soldier
I have not been able to get my oiooo
stirred over what has occurred up to
date. Granting that the losses in what
will probably go down in history as
the battle of the Yalu have exceeded
the figures given out by both Sides
the number is still too small to dig
nifty the encounter as a great battle.
you can shut your eyes and call up
battles by the score which make the
fight on the Yalu dwindle into insig-
nif1cance.
1.-The Confederate loss at Gettysburg
was 10000, the Federal about 10000. In
the two days Battle of the Wilderness
the Federals lost $4,000 and the Con-
federates 1900. In the first big battle
of the Rebellion. Bull Run, the Federal
loss was over 1900 and the Confederate
loss was estimated at over 5000.
IF we make due allowance for the
inaccuracies of history many of the bat
tles-of other times were deluges of
blood, compared with which the battle
of tho VaII7 ic I11t n drop in +ba 1,,,oI>a+
In round numbers Hannibal, in the bat
tie of Cannae, 216 B. c., slew 10000
Romans. In the battle of Halidon Hill,
in 1888, Edward III. slew 10000 Scots.
At Waterloo the Allies lost $4,000 and
the French $4,000.
Il doubt if we shall ever see in our
time any such sanguinary battles as
have Redeemed history. 1 do not look
for any such results in this struggle
between Russia and Japan as we found
at the close of our civil war.
I'm that four years of stubborn fight
ing there died in the Confederate pris-
ons 22,246 Federal prisoners, while 26.-
526 Confederates died in Federal pris
ons The whole number of prisoners
captured by the Confederates in that
struggle was 100000. The whole number
OF Confederate prisoners captured was
100000 1 give you these figures from
memory.
do not look for any prolonged war
IN the Far East. But, if 1 should be
wrong, 1 still maintain that there will

The Russians must have had severe
land reverse. At least that is to be in
ferred from their ''unconfirmed rumor'
OF having sunk four Japanese battle
ships. If they had sunk one, the news
would not have been left to rumor but
would have been communicated by
wireless to Chefoo and given to the
world officially. The chances are good
that the Russians have been badly hurt.

Jesse Lewisohn, who is occupying
cottage with Miss Russell here, is
permitted to take the dog out with
him On his walks. He sauntered up
to the Grand Union Hotel yesterday
afternoon holding the dog in his hand.
David Gideon was with him, and they
stopped to converse with a group of
horsemen standing near one of the
pillars. After canvassing the merits
of the horses entered for the days
racing, and selecting prospective WIN
ners for each event on the card, the
conversation drifted to the dog in
Lewisohn s arms, and all present ex-
pressed admiration. Mr.. Lewisohn
after paying it as pretty compliments
as any dog would care to hear about
himself, asked the men with him if
they would step into the jewelers.
while he bought a dog collar?
Michael Dreicer said he did not
keep any dog collars intended for
dogs, but he thought that bracelet
intended for woman's arm would
do, so the party inspected bracelets.
The only one that attracted Mr..
Lewisohn's fancy specially was a
heavy gold chain studded with dia
monds and rubies, and worth 81 800.
All present agreed that it was very
becoming, and the dog ran around SO
proundly that Lewisohn decided to
buy it.

atoga that are scarcely less pampered
than Miss Russell's pet.

READING NOVELS
Was Cause of Mrs. Wallin Losing Her
Mind.

Elkhart, Ind, Aug. 26.-Mrs. Thos.
Wallin, niece of the late Secretary
of State Walter Q. Gresham, has been
declared of unsound mind by an in
quest composed of Drs. Rekelman and
Randolph and Justice Brumbaugh.
Her trouble is the result of reading
too many novels, it being her boast
that she averaged one book a day.
A month ago her husband found
her in the front yard after midnight
declaring that she was threatened
with abduction by a neighbor. A
physician was called and absolute
quiet prescribed. She was forbidden
to read. For a time her life was des-
paired Of, but she began to mend rap
idly, and her complete recovery seem
ed assured.
Recently Mrs Wallin was seized
with insane spells again. and her hus-
band discovered that she had secured
possession of old novels and had been
violating instructions relative to
reading.

feet in year and a half has just gone
from the experimental station in San

though no tree could grow at ALL But

When this particular tree was about
a year and a half old it measured
four inches in diameter. They had to
pull it up for fear it would break the
Santa Monica speed ordinance.
In order to get it safely to the fair
the whole tree was carefully packed

After its ragtime career under Alb
