The refusal of the President to re-
appoint Judge Gear, after the latter
had played his last card, all but closes
an episode which makes an unpleasant
chapter in Hawaiian history. The car
pet-bagger raid on the bench was
formidable and for time made great
trouble in the Territory. It was met
and worsted by the Advertiser and the
Star which, at no little risk and cost,
attacked the carpet-baggers and were
instrumental in getting rid of them.
Judge Gear is the sole survivor. He
is a lawyer of parts but his concep-
ton of the honor and dignity of high
court does not conform to that of this
community; at least not to that of the
better part of the community.

Isl An, the Empress of China, is thus
wildly described by Lady Susan Town
ley in her Chinese Notebook: ''She
sat upon a diVan covered with figured
Chinese silk of beautiful yolk-of- egg
color. Being low of stature, her feet
(Which are of natural size, she being
Manchu) barely touched the ground,
and only her head and shoulders were
visible over the table placed in front
of her. She wore a Chinese coat of a
diaphanous pale blue silk material
covered with the most exquisite Chi
Lese embroidery of vine leaves and
grapes. Round her neck was a pale
blue satin ribbon studded with large
iustrous pearls, pierced and sewn to
the ribbon. Her complexion is that of
a North Italian, and being a widow
her cheeks are implanted and unpow-
dered Her piercing dark eyes roved
curiously about among her surround
ings. Her age is sixty eight, but her
hair being dyed jet-black and most of
it artificial, her appearance is that of
much younger woman. Her hands are
long and tapering and very prettily
shaped but they are disffgured by the
curious national custom of letting the
nails grow Unfortunately long. The nails
of the two smaller fingers of the right
hand were protected by gold shields,
which fitted over the finger like lady's
thimble and gradually tapered off to
length of three or four inches

KUHIO AND THE WORKERS.

/ In the course of a long letter reciting
various acts of public industry on his
part. Delegate Kuhio opposes the send
ing to Washington of unofficial work
ers. Il will appreciate" he says. the
help of every citizen of Hawaii who
| will cooperate in a definite plan Ct
work here at the capital. But for IT
dividuaI men in Honolulu to maintain
I Secretary Atkinson or any one else
here by the month as an independent
worker. can lead only to confusion, and
injury to Hawaiis interests"
This seems to be an exhibition of
jealousy which, we trust. will not in
terfere with Secretary Mcclellan,
whose work has been most useful. So
far as the special proposition goes it
is unwarranted. Almost every section
terests at stake in Congress, maintains
a corps of unofficial workers at the seat
of government. For this very session
San Francisco sent to Washington tie
presidents OF It's Chamber OF Com
merce and Merchants Association and
the secretary of the Promotion Com
nittee; Los Angeles sent delegation
and San Diego sent H. P. Wood, sec
rotary of the Chamber of Commerce.
Washington hotels are crowded with
workers for bills in which various
localities are interested and wise Con-
gressmen are glad to have their help.
Sometimes hundreds of such men as
semble at once to push a single meas
IRE as was the case when the last i'm
portant silver bill was before the House
and Senate.
Delegate Kuhfo should not undertake
to run the whole show. Few men need
help more than he does in Congress
and he may console himself with the
reflection that, if unofficial workers do
it all, he will still receive the credit,
as he did before, in the Republican
Territorial platform.

Bishop McVicker, of Rhode Island
told the members of the Boston Epis-
copalian Club one of the best of the
Butler stories. Butler was on his way
to Boston to try a case before Judge
Shaw. A young friend met him on the
train, and asked him if he might look
at the notes on the case. Butler ac-
guessed. The young man, to his as
constituent. saw written in pencil at
the top of page 1: Insult the Judge"
You see.'' said Butler, Il 4Irst get
Judge Shaw's i'll will by insulting him
in some way. Later in the case he
will have decisions to make for or
against me. AS he rs an exceedingly
just man, and as 1 have insulted him,
he will lean to my side, for fear of
letting his personal feeling against me
sway his decision the opposite way"
