Seem to Stick to One Line of Crime No Matter How Often They
 Are Caught.

Criminals seem to be the strongest kind of fatalists,' remarked Judge Neff. of Pittsburg. recently. Judge Neff is widely known as an authority on crim- nology, and his long experience as prosecutor. judge and lawyer has given him unusual opportunity of studying scientifically the causes and character istlcs Of crime
 "I have noticed that when a criminal is arrested after finishing one sentence. the second charge is generally the result of a crime almost exactly the same as the one which first got him into trouble. IL seems like strange kind of fatality I've known instances where one erim- inal has been arrested and punished five or six times on charges exactly the same
 What makes them doit? I'm not sure ! can explain it satisfactorily, but know ii to be the case. II has occurred 70 me. and possibly this is the simplest explanation, that the reason for erim- inal adhering strictly to one line of work. is the same as the fascination q d though luck is against him.
 Each failure or each loss shows the victim a point which he has hitherto been ignorant of, and it is easy to con- vince himself that next time he vii. escape that mistake
 And SO it goes. Ever the next time just one more chance and then another ever confident that the luck must change and that each turn of the Whee leaves him just that much better equipped and that much more likely te win finally Then, there is the despera ton, the unconscious and gritty deter mination 10 make a success of the thing
 "If he fail, and is arrested, convicted and punished, the process of the law simply goes to show him wherein his first job was bungling and poorly car ried out. The first feeling of resiena. tion that follows the bitterness of pun ishment is when he tells himself tha next time he will not repeat the errol which led to his detection on the present occasion No sooner is he out of the penitentiary than he essays again to tr, his luck this time carefully avoiding the mistake which first brought hin to grief
 Tt is a well-known fact that no erim. inal no matter how expert or how dar. ing, can cover up all his tracks The very best Of them will leave al least one loophele will commit at least one CT. TOT which eventually fastens the guili on him The poorer criminals leavt clews according to their skill or ex perienee. So our imaginary crook, tht second time he plans a job. while h, carefully avoids a repetition of his frs error. is almost sure to make some otheI one.

DO WE REQUIRE A CHANGE?
The Modern Idea of Holiday Making ard Its Effect on the
 People.

Men and women in civilization retain many of the primitive instincts of anI- mals, children and savages. and these get on quite well with what they are ac- customed to day after day. and never worry because they cannot Go some thing tomorrow which did not occupy them yesterday. says the Saturday Re- view Without going further back than a century, our forefathers got on very well with the minimum of change in their habits; they cid not often take holi- days for change; they lived and died al a good old age without having wor- ried themselves in seeking changes of scene Old peoples chances of life are increased by steadily living in the same manner, and change would be the most likely thing to kill them Women n spite of their being the mntabie sex, whose lives have greater actuarial value than mems, desire and take change less than men dc.
 In short the lower you go in the scale of general intelligence, culture and re- finement the less desire of change is found. Imperturbabie sameness and not change is their ideal of pleasure and gives them most satisfaction. This is the explanation Of their restricted range of eating and drinking What are deli cacies to people of the more cultured classes are disgusting to them. and if they are offered to them are refused with the most perfect fastidiousness ever 10 he met with in matters of the table.

BANQUET
OF ISLAND
YACHTSMEN

The annual meeting of the Hawaii
Z Yacht Club was held at the Hawaiian
Hotel last evening, the business por-
ton being preceded by a banquet COM
plimentary to the retiring commodore,
Mr. Clarence Macfarlane.
The election of officers for the en-
suing year elevated Captain Fred
Whitney to the post of commodore, and
H. E. Picker, the new owner of the
Dewey, to that of vice commodore.
thus insuring the club of two ener-
getic officers who give promise of much
active work during the yachting sea-
son.

Commodore, Fred Whitney; Vice
Commodore, H. E. Picker; Secretary,
T. Fl. Petrie; Treasurer, Albert Water
Captain, P. H. Weaver; Regatta Com
rnittee, H p Roth, chairman, o. E..
White and George Turner.
Directors-T. w. Hebron. Ollie Sor-
enson and J. Q. Carter, Jr.
The reports of the various officers,
with the exception of the treasurer,
were laid over until special meeting
is called when they will be read. The
treasurer's report showed about 5000
authorized Indebtedness with about the
same amount receivable in dues and
fees.
Tt was proposed that the monthly
dues be raised from fifty cents per
month to 81 in order that the club may
have money to put it on a workable
basis. Under the present dues the
club is generally in need of cash.
Boats will also be properly measured
this season before being permitted to
enter a race. This will be done in or
der to keep the number of classes
down to the lowest limit. After being
measured handicaps can be placed on
certain boats.
The banquet, which was a very en-
joyable affair, was attended by about
a score of members. Tt was given in
the private dining room of the hos
telry appropriately decorated with club
pennants, signal flags and other yacht
ing insignia. The table centerpiece
represented a SlOOp, the nun DelHS VI
white daisies and the rigging of MALE.
La Pa1oma's private signal flag was
shown in white carnations and blue
ribbons with red carnation leis for
trimming. The electric globes were
shaded with red.
A Hawaiian quintette club played
upon the veranda, the first air being
La Paloma," complimentary to Com
modore Macfarlane. The toast, "Ha-

STATE BOARD OF TRADE
TO INTERVIEW VISITORS
Scheme Is Devised to Secure Greater
Measure OF Publicity for Ad-
vantages Of California.

The California State Board Of Trade
has decided to interview as many of
the visitors to the rooms of the board
as possible, who come from abroad, TO
get from them expressions of their
opinion of California. At the same
time they will secure the names of the
home papers Of the parties who are
interviewed and will then write an ar
ticle for each of the papers wherein
will be quoted the statements that
are made in the interviews. This will
be in the nature of informing the peo-
pie of hundreds of localities what their
fellow townsmen have seen in this
State.
The State Board of Trade has also
asked all the commercial organiza-
ticns in California to get statements
from people who are visiting this
State and to send such statements
either to the California State Board Of
Trade or to the newspaper in the town
or city where the people live. This
will form an endless chain and will
result in having thousands of news
papers throughout the United States
and other countries publish articles
descriptive Of California.
