Both Dissatisfied.

| The singular results of law may be
seen from, the recent decision rem
dered by Squire Swindler, in the case
of Marsey against Griffith, with which
both were dissatisfied. Griffith had
seized the trunks and goods of Mar
] sey in default of board bill of $50
/ claimed by him. Marsey gave bond
/ for trial. and took back the goods in
| to his own possession, at the same
time rendering Griffith $40 in full set
| tlement of the bill claimed, but which
he refused. The 'Squire's judgment,
upon hearing the evidence was, that
Marsey should keep the goods re-
taken, and pay Griffith the $40 form
erly rendered by him, and that Grit
fifth on the other hand should pay
the cost of the suit. AS the result Of
the 'Squire's decision, one threatens
to reopen judgment and the other to
appeal the case. Should they pursue
either course, it might, upon further
trial and investigation, change the re-
suit one way or the other little,
but not much at most. And the diff
ference between them having been SO
small at the beginning, and also under
the judgment rendered, wisdom would
suggest that they both abide by the
decision and drop it, before they each
suffer a much greater loss than at first
estimated, and the difference between
they should only increase instead OF
diminish The results of law are al
ways expensive, so that we most fre-
quently lose out even though we win
the case. The best method therefore,
is not to throw good money away af-
ter bad in doubtful case, but play
quits.
a Successful Reception.
The Ladies' Aid Society, of the Dia-
mond Street M. E. Church. held a re-
in honor of it's new members
on Thursday evening. About $50 perl
sons were present, and an excellent I
program was rendered, consisting of |
music by the choir, recitations by va
rious members, and an address by the
pastor, Rev. o. D. King. At the close,
including ice cream and
cake were served, and delightful so
ciable time was enjoyed by all pres
ent,s who voted it to be the church
event of the season. Despite the va
cious adverse criticisms: of Ladies'
Aid Societies to the contrary. yet this
onea at least, is pronounced by the
pastor as having done a noble and
IsefuI work for the church 5,l1ld der his

A NEW BUL.LET-PRooF CLOTH.
1t Does Not Cause a Shock to the One
Hit by a Missile.


An article IN Public Opinion de.
scribes the results of the Italian gov
ernment's eXi eriments with the Ben
detti bullet proof cloth. The "armor"
is apparently sort of felt, the stuff
being capable of adaptation to any
form whatever, for example, a breast
piece with collar or a sort of. coat
which completely envelops the wearer
and absolutely guarantees him from
gunshot wounds. The thickness of
the protector varies from one-six-
teenth to seven siXteenths, according
to the arm the effects of which it is
designed to destroy. Against the ar.
NOR of the seven-sixteenths of an
inch the regular ordnance revolver
with steel covered ball is powerless,
and also the gun of the 1891 model,
charged with smokeless powder. The
ball, whether it be of lead or steel,
when it strikes the protector is ar
rested and deformed, in some cases
rebounding and in others being almost
reduced to pulp. Thus there is not
Ouly oil dIIGSI Vi LUG jail, UuL Q61OIIud-
ton as we'll, and in this reformation
the force Of the ball is converted.
1t is natural to suppose that the
force of the ball would be communi-
Gated to the armor and that this
would be driven violently backward,
resulting in a disagreeable shock, and
one which at times would be danger
Gus for the wearer. To demonstrate
the incorrectness of this view Signor
Benedict attached his protector to
a horse and fired upon the animal
only six feet away with an ordnance
revolver, the ball falling at the feet
Of the horse, while he, freed from his
halter, walked away as if nothing had
happened. 1t is to be noted that with
the same revolver a piece of steel had
been previously pierced. The same
experiment was made with a chicken
covered with breast piece of the
felt; the cock, after being ria of his
new shell, quietly pursued the even
tenor of his way.

Mistaken PoIiteness.

A Fort street car was bowling. along
toward Woodmere Cemetery the other
afternoon when a white-haired old
man who had been sitting quietly in
front of stylishily- dressed young
woman who was standing up started
as if to rise and give her the five-cent
seat. The young woman put her hand
on his shoulder, and, gently restrain
ing him, said:
Never mind, sir; just keep your
seat"
The old man looked dazed for a
block or two, then attempted to gain
his feet, only to be again pushed back
by the young woman, politely remark
ing as she held him down:
Keep your seat, please; I've stood
UP so long now that don't mind it. !"
WELL" said the old man, in snrill
falsetto tones, Il want to git off!
You've made me go half mile past
my street w"-Detroit News.

Sense of Smell in the Aged.

Old people have an atrophied sense
Of smell, and they do not seem to be

they can scarcely distinguish one

SUCCESSFUL REHEARSAL
OF KAULUKOU PROGRAM

A most successful orchestral recital
of Carmen and II Jrovatore was held
last evening by the fifty amateur sing
ers who have volunteered their services
for Lot Kaulukou's benefit at the
Opera House on Saturday evening.
The selections from II Trovatore
proved that they will capture many of
the laurels on Saturday. Mr.. Isenberg' s
sweet but robust tenor mingles beau
tifuIly with Mrs. Annis Montague Tur-
ner's pure notes in the celebrated
farewell duet, while in the other selec-
tons Kaulukous rendition of De Luna
shows that he has profted much by
the work of the past three weeks.
Carmen, the third act, which was
adjudged the best sung portion of the
full operate performance, goes with a
fine swing augmented by the full
chorus of fifty good voices, all of them
active ones contributing their share
OF the general harmony.
Alice Campbell as Michaela will re-
peat the success she made on her first
appearance in that role. Her voice is
as f1utelike as ever, sweet and pre-
eminentIy fitted to the somewhat path
etc music of Michaela's part. There
are few voices of purer melody that
have ever been heard in Honolulu.
Mrs. Annis Montague Turner's Carmen
needs no enconiums and the diva sub
ordinates her role to the glory of her
protege who is making a showing
worthy of her care. His rendition OF
the famous Toreador song is given
with a vigor and assurance that will
eclipse the former rendition, good as
that was while the big chorus makes
the whole number something well worth
hearing.
Kappelmeister Berger conducts the
orchestral music for the entire per-
Torrance with intelligent appreciation
of his task while his musicians have
proved themselves more than equal to
their task. Mrs. Alice Rice presides
over the piano and adds to the success
of the whole rendition.

The County Commits
sion Awaits an
Outline.

An outline of the work expected to be
performed by the County Act Commits
sion was to have been presented at the
meeting of the commission held last
night in the old throne room of the
Capitol by Chairman H. E. Cooper The
latter's absence on Hawaii, however
prevented this, and little was done at
the meeting except to discuss a clerk
ship
Present at the meeting were c L.
Crabbe, F. w. Beckley, T. McCants
Stewart and E NJ Watson. c. L.
Crabbe was elected as vice-chairman,
the office being made permanent, SO
that he could preside in the absence of
the chairman.
E. NJ. Watson said that owing to the
absence of the chairman, upon whom
they were waiting TO present the scope
OF the act, the commission was resolv-
ing itself into procrastination COM
mittee He thought that each member
should be furnished with copies of acts
that have failed in the past so that in
the drafting of the new act the COM
mission would be able to avoid the
boulders upon which former acts had
been wrecked.
He further urged the necessity of ap-
pointing clerk to handle all matters re-
lating to the commissions work. He
was of the opinion that the clerk would
prepare typewriter briefs which have
been handed down in the courts, the
appointee to rely upon the next legisla-
ture for reimbursement.
Mr.. Stewart desired list of salaries
paid to all employees in the territory,
and these will be procured from the Gov
ernor. The county system, he said,
should not materially add to the rate of
taxation. He thought that for the ISL
and of Oahu a county government
should be put into action with little more
cost than was at present required for
the running OF the departments. For in
stance, the police department should not
cost more than now, or the Board of
Health. Mr.. Stewart advocated first
the services of a clerk, which
was quite important.
MT. STdDDe OF the COIIlIllttSe VOluli-
teered to look for a clerk, said one man
promised to. take the matter for $40 a
meeting, which would include taking the
proceedings in shorthand, transcribing
them, etc. Mr.. Stewart suggested a
lump sum of 5000 to $500 for the whole
work
The names of Messrs. Thielan, Avery
and Lloyd were mentioned as candi-
dates.
Mr. Watson was of the opinion that
after hearing from the chair as to a
general outline, the commission should
be unit in studying out a new act in
stead of each one of the FIVE bringing in
an act which he considered to be the
best Messrs. Crabbe and Beckley coin
cided with Mr.. Watson.
The commission will meet again next
Tuesday evening aat 7: 80,

carriage, so that hereafter parties viii
have a conveyance for their picnic

this proposition and the horse was de-

Still another result of the increa sing
interest in education, and which again
by reflex action has added to the fame
at home, is the adoption by other ma
tons of our best work. Japan's uni
que and brilliant position among the
nations of the world today is the re-
suit of her intelligent appreciation of
the power which enlightened educa-
ton gives. 1t is true that Japan is not
yet universally educated, but it has
adopted a school system which in time
Will have the results that the same
system has in other enlightened coun-
tries. If I am correctly informed, the
learned principal of the Honolulu High
School has the honor of having estab-
lished school system for Japan, after
adapting methods to the divergent
needs of that country. The splendid
record that nation is now making, not
only in the war with retrogressive Rus
STA, but in all lines of commercial, So
cial and industrial development, is due
to her application of the results of

vances made in the past few decades.
but it is unnecessary. The fact re-
mains and is sufficient. that education
occupies a different and very much
higher position than when our south
western preacher thanked the LORD
that he had none of it.
1t is no longer true that the educated
man or woman reaps no special ad-
vantage from education. On the con-
trary. it is a direct assistant. Most
branches of industry have so developed
along scientific lines that men of edu-
cation are required to conduct them.

Unique Trip Planned.

T understand that steamboat exeuf- sion from Montgomery to St. Louis IS being planned for this summer" said a gentleman yesterday, who resides in the Capital City. "The voyage will be made down the Alabama river to Mobile, then the boat will skirt the bay and gulf shores to the Mississippi sound, and thence through the Lake Borgne canal to the Mississippi. This Is what Is known to rivermen as the inside route so there will be no danger of the boat being swamped by waves from the gulf.
 "The steamer will probably leave Mo- bile the last week in June and fourteen days will be spent at St. Louis. The trip will cover water route 2O00 miles long. It Is also expected that steamboat will run from Demopolis down the Tombig- bee to Mobile from whence the entire party will leave for St. Louis.
 ''If the venture proves successful and arrangements are perfected for this trip 1t will be well worth taking. There will be scores of interesting sights to see and adventures galore, aside from the novelty of making such a lengthy voyage by steamboat. Life on a river steamer Is noted for it's many lazy delights, so predict that If the Alabama excursion is made there will be plenty of passengers to go along
