houseless stranger was an offense
which the church would not readily

that luck ever afterward deserted him.
The approach Of the meal was often

The use of tea and coffee, says an

themselves in the best condition to re-

category Of irritant drugs. These, by
rouslng the vital forces to get rid Of

mistaklngly supposed to be an added

be seen how much supporting and

such substances by trying to live on
them to the exclusion Of other things.
The result would prove the absurdity

Three women; one is rich. you say,
Another fair of face.
The third is kind, with gentle way.
You ask upon which to place

Which do you love, l pray?"

The Shillalah.

The shillalah, accounted Ireland's ma

ly a common blackthorn stick, but in
modern times it has been replaced by
the more wiry ash sapling. The real
shillalah is a young shoot OF the sloe

from the crevlce Of some rock. After
being trimmed It is placed In the smoke

READING HABITS.

You Must Cultivate system If You
Would Improve Your Mind.
The mind is very delicate, compll-
Gated piece Of mechanism, and, al
though made to dc a certain kind OF
work marvelously well. yet, when put
to an entirely different use, its eff
cheney is ruined, Just as the delicate
machinery intended for producing fine
watch parts would he completely spoil
ed for this purpose if used to make
clock parts. When the mind becomes
DETECTED to Il certain extent from its
normal condition by the vicious read
Ing habit, it diverges more and more
and rarely goes back to the normal.
By deSultory habits of reading and
lack of system you confuse the mind
with a large mass OF unclassifled mate
rial. You pick upss book and read
few pages and then pick up another
one and then go from that to a paper
or magazine. This puts the mind in
chaotic state, because you let every
thing run into the mental reservoir
without any order or definite plans.
Systemless reading is profitless. You
cannot gain knowledge Of Il friend OF
prize his friendship by hasty first
impression, so in reading book you
cannot gain everlasting good by skim
ming over its contents or by reading
a few pages one night and then put
ting it on a shelf to gather dust until
you get time to read 1t again. Every.
thing comes out Of the mind as it went
In, and if it does not enter in an OF.
derly manner it will come out In chaos.
Success.

GODFREY ROWLAND SUIT.
! BY the unanimous opinion of the
supreme Court, written by Justice

and c. F. Clemens, and defendants by
Kinney, McClanahan & Cooper.
1t was a suit for one undivided half
of certain land situated on the north
west corner of Beretania and Alapai
streets in Honolulu. The legitimacy
of Thomas Metcalf was in issue also
the fact of a marriage between his
father and mother. The verdict of the
jury was this: We the jury in the

Guides thus: las to the defendant
Helen Rowland the verdict is set aside
and a new trial ordered. The case is
remanded to the Circuit Court for the
First Circuit for further proceedings.
In the syllabus of opinion the law
relating to legitimacy is expounded,
showing that the presumption of legi-
tImacy may be overcome by proof, but
the proof must ''be clear, distinct and
convincing" Other points of law
cleared up are as follows:
In order TO prove a legal marriage
it is not necessary to prove that a Ii
cense to marry was issued. The Ii
Cense will be presumed from the cele-
bration of the marriage. Nor need any
ceremony be shown to prove a mar
riage.
The provisions of sections 1870 and
1911, Civil Laws, requiring a license to
marry to re obtained, are directory
only, and a failure to comply with the
same does not render marriage void.
1T is not necessary to show, in or
der to prove a marriage. that record

PACIFIC CABLE CASE.

The tax assessor for the island OF
Oahu appealed from the decision of the

valuation of six miles of cable lying
below low water mark and all being
within three miles from land. Robert

lee Justice Hartwell is author of the
courts opinion, which finds the cables
assessable as personal property.
1T is evident, however, the court
says. that the valuation of $42. 800
made by the assessor for the six miles
of the two cables within the three mile
limit was excessive. The invoice price,
as shown by the exhibits, is 1888. 81

FIRST AMERICAN CASE.
The case of the Commercial Pacific
Gable Co. is the first in the annals OF
United States jurisprudence to bring
up the question of municipal jurisdic-
ton over sea territory for a marine
league from shore. An English case
remarked upon in the pleadings and
decision has an interesting story for
it's origin. In the year 1874 a German
steamer collided With a British steam
er within the three mile limit off the
coast Of England. Lives were lost.

court composed of thirteen of the
most eminent British judges. Seven
of them decided that the captain was
guilty of mansIaughter, and six dis
scented on the ground of want of coun-

the accident occurred.
From this case it was argued by the

MARCONI VS.. CROSS.

Marconi'S Wireless Telegraph Co. VS.
Frederick ]. Cross is decided in favor
OF defendant, in an opinion written by
Justice Hartwell which overrules the
exceptions of plaintiff to verdict for
defendant. Circuit Judge De Bolt sat
in place of Justice Hatch Kinney
McClanahan & Cooper and S. H. Der
by appeared for plaintiff, and J. w.
Cathcart for defendant
Marconi's company of England sued
on contract made with Cross. where
by the company was to install a wire
less telegraph system in the Hawaiian
Islands. and Cross to pay 81, 900 in
two equal instalments after the sys-
tenn should be in working order and
$500 (S2500) yearly rent for five years.
At the time of making the agreement
Marconis representative told Cross
that they might make a contract with
him and he could assign it to his COM
pany, which, as defendant testified,
was agreeable and it was done
Cross organized the mteF-Island TeIe-
graph Co, assigning the contract
thereto, and this company paid the
plaintiff company the first instalment
OF $500. In the transactions of the
plaintiff in these islands it dealt with
the local company, and the origin of
the suit is thus described in the court s
opinion:
Considerable expense was incurred
for changes required to make the sys-
tenn work. and disputes arose whether
the plaintiff should bear the expense.
Twenty seven hundred dollars We're
paid by the local company on account
of these changes and $500 were ad-
vanced by it at the request of the
plaintiffs agents. At last the plain
tiff, finding the stockholders of the
local company dissatisfied and not dis
posed to advance more money, inform
ed the defendant that ii held him per-
sonally liable on the agreement. The
jury found for the defendant and the
case comes here on the plaintiffs bill
of exceptions"
Two lines of defense We're taken by
the defendant First, that the plaintiff
had not performed its part of the
agreement. and, second, a novation. by
the plaintiff accepting the Inter-Island
Telegraph Co. in place of the defend
ant TO perform his part of the agree
ment. The court finds there was evil
dence to support each one of these
