The Advertiser has rarely, in its ac-
quaintance with courts. come upon a
more contemplate incident than the
one which an evening paper relates
with a smirk as follows:
In the Supreme Court this morning
II. McCants Stewart caused a smile TO
ripple around the room when he gave
notice to the court that Judge Perry
would come in as counsel with himself
in the case of Bishop Zeugma VS.. Malie
X Paahao. Mr.. Stewart said: L take
pleasure in moving the court to enter
the name of Judge Perry in this case
as associate counsel. This is, under
stand, his first case, and his first re-
tainer comes from the church. Let us
hope that the significance of it is that
he may have in his practice of the pro-
fession the blessings of the church and
possibly the blessings of the Lord
The slur upon Judge Perry is one ne
may well ignore, considering the
source. Those who remember his fire.
quent pieadings in court while asso-
ciated with Judge Hartwerl, need no
signboard as TO the character of the
insult. We fancy that the Catholic
Church authorities will not expose
Judge Perry. in the future conduct of
their law business. to any further i'm
pertinences of this sort.

TO COMMAND IN THE FIELD.

Field Marshal the Marquis Oyama,
who is to command all the armies of
Japan on the Liaotong peninsula, is
an old hand at the game. It was Oya-
ma who made the Liaotong invasion
ten years ago, capturing Port Arthur
and later going into Shantung to re-
duce Wei-hai-Wei. He is a man we'll
on in years, phlegmatic of tempera-
ment and of kindly nature and while
he looks more like a burgomaster than
a soldier he is accounted one of the
best of Japan's commanders in the field.
1t is of local interest to know that
the Marquis is an old friend of Prof.
NJ. NJ. Scott of this city and that sew
erai of our citizens know him He
married japanese lady who was edu-
Gated at Vassar College on the Hudson.
The appointment of Field Marshal
the Marquis Yamagata as Viceroy of
Liaotong and of all the territory Japan
may occupy, will bring to bear upon the
battle-problems the two ablest military
minds in the empire Indeed, with
General Kodama, Minister of War, as
chief of staff to Oyama, the three best
men fitted to cope with the Russians
will be in the field. Yamagata's duties
are mainly administrative and civil,
but his military advice will be con-
! fidently sought and freely given.

THE ROGUES UNEASY.

The opinion is SO common in this
city that legislative boodling should
be adequately punished that the whole
Success-to-Cr fraternity is scared.
Tt is an-important to the ring that
KumaIae and Johnson should he let
of with a light fine, for then it may
be possible to make something out of
the next Legislature. On the other
hand if an example is made of these
convicted felons, there won't be
chance for even a small printing graft;
and the boodlers, far from handing out
nice things for their friends and or
gans, win be as stiff and proper as
plaster-of-paris images over church
door.
There is a splendid opportunity now,
which any judge might covet, to vim
dictate the law. The chance does not
often come to perform so great pub
lie duty. Those judges who met the
issue in the cases of Tweed. the Chi
cago anarchists, the st. Louis boodlers
and the buC.Aiey -Il&iiiieS
in San Francisco purified the public
service and made honorable names for
themselves. In Hawaii judges have let
such chances slip until suspicion
hovers over the Legislature and the
departments like cloud and men go
into politics for the same reason that
other men, with more nerve or a poorer
opportunity, break into banks. Surely
it is time for the bench to make pub
lie robbery odious and put the stripes
on the backs that deserve them. That
is one of the things the bench is for
and by which it's usefulness to the
people is measured.

The Mugwump press, which opposed
Blaine in 1884, seems to be preparing
to bolt Roosevelt if Parker is nom
mated. The Evening Post, Harper's
Weekly and The Nation represent the
Nugwump feeling in New York and it
is all anti-Roosevelt, conditioned upon
a wise Democratic choice. 1t is not
unlikely, however, that the Democratic
bolt from Parker, who is the bette noir
of Bryan and the other Populists. would
more than offset the Republican defec-
ton. Except in Boston the tribe of
Mugwumps is not nearly so strong as
it was

Jack London has come back from the
front disguised. He was given little
chance TO see the war and at the bat

The change of policy may be due to the
fact that the white war correspondents
might be taken for Russians on the field
and shot at by the japanese. a con-
tingency which the Toxic government
would not relish. There was no such
danger ten years ago as the fighting
was between Orientals entirely.

HAITI AND THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

| There are seeds of trouble in Haiti
! for the United States if yesterdays
cablegram from there is correct. The
news thus brought says that Haytian
troops, guarding the Presidents palace.
made an attack upon the French and
German ministers and their wives.
Particulars are not given and they will
be awaited with solicltude, for if true,
the Monroe doctrine may be put to
| test.
An attack upon the ENJOYS of a
friendly power is as serious as an in
suit to the flag. 1t calls for instant
redress. The first duty of France and
Germany under such circumstances
would be TO demand an apology and an
indemnity, backing up the demand by
show of force. Suppose Haiti should
treat the matter with indifference, re-
lying upon the Monroe doctrine to help
her. Suppose she could not or would
not meet the financial demands of
France and Germany. In that event

products are in themselves poisonous

them again into our systems.
In expired air the amount Of carbon

Is proportionately diminished. Man

the oxygen is too rare; or. in other
words. too highly diluted with nitro.

almost invariable. with the exception
of the amount Of water vapor. Man

over the apparatus can be heard any
where in large room.
The microphone. like the telephone,
is an electrical instrument, but the
word microphone means merely an in
strument which enables one 10 hear
feeble sounds. and so the simple ap-
paratus to be described may be called
a microphone, though IL has nothing TO
do with electricity. When water is
sues from a small orifice IL forms a
continuous, clear stream for a little
distance and then breaks into drops
which fall at pretty nearly equal in
tervals. But the interval between the
drops depends on what vibrating bod
les may be in the neighborhood, as
may be shown by the following pretty
experiment:
Connect one end OF a rubber tube
with the water faucet or with a vessel
Of water on a shelf and in the other
end insert a glass medicine dropper.
Hold the glass tube, pointing down
ward, over a vertical metal tube, the
upper end Of which is covered with
sheet rubber tightly stretched. Hold
the tube at such a height that the
stream just fails to break into sep
arate drops before it strikes the rub
ber.
Now IL you hold a watch near the
glass tube from which the stream
issues the sound made by the water in
falling on the rubber will keep time
with the ticking of the watch and so
magnify it. The effect will be very
much increased If a paper or tin fun
mel is connected with the metal tube,
as shown in the illustration.
