For Going
To Church
MRS. LAZARUS BRINGS A SENSA-
TIONAL SUIT FOR DIVORCE, ON
THE GROUND OF CRUELTY.

Mrs. Wahineaukai Lazarus has
brought suit for divorce from Alexan-
der K. Lazarus, on the ground of ex-
treme cruelty. According to the COM
plant filed by c. w. Ashford, the main
cause of dissension in the Lazarus
household was that the wife liked to go
to church and the husband didn't. AS
result of this difference in tastes or
opinions, on one occasion he took a
leather strap and gave her a beating,
after she had dressed up for Sunday
morning services. The beating was so
severe, she says, that she was unable
to go to church.
The complaint sets forth that the
couple were married on August 21, 1902,
and that the libellee well knew at the
time that the woman he was marry
ing was of a religious disposition and
devoted to church work. She was in
the choir, the Sunday school and other
affiliated societies of Kawaiahao church.
besides being a regular attendant of
the church, and this he well knew when
he married her. Nevertheless, he OBJ
jected to her church work, and severely
beat her at times, charging her with
unfaithfulness and with going TO church
to meet other men.
Mrs. Lazarus says her husband Is a
wealthy man, possessing valuable real
estate and receiving an income of about
$125 per month. She asks for alimony,
attorneys fees and a restraining order
preventing Lazarus from molesting her
pending the settlement of her suit for
an absolute divorce.

THAT TO GO INTO COMMERCIAL LIFE

Winfred H. Babbitt, who has been
appointed as the successor to Superin-
tendent Davis of the Department of
Public Instruction, is a well known
young man in Honolulu, one of the best
known in fact, as he has been here
since 1896 and has been active in pub
lie life ever since his arrival.
He was born in Waitsfield, Vermont,
in August 4, 1871, and after his prelim-
inary education he studied at the Phil
lips, Andover Academy, from 1886 to
1891 He went thence to Williams Col
lege, graduating as a Master of Arts in
1895. He was one of the staff at Sig
lars Preparatory School for Boys at
Newburgh, his specialities being ma
thematics and gymnastics.
In 1896 he came to Hawaii as instruct
or in Latin and Civics at Oahu College
and since he went into commercial life,
with the Won Hamm Young Company,
he has been elected a trustee of the col
lege.
He is still young man, enthusiastic
and broad-minded and his record in the
field of pedagogy is one of which he
may we'll feel proud.
Mr.. Babbitt is married, his wife be-
ing a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. o.
Carter, and a cousin of the Governor.

COURT REFUSES
RECONSIDERATION

MEHEULA TO GO FURTHER.

A decision was handed down by the
Supreme Court this afternoon in the
case of Nose Meheula against the Pio-

Justices Hartwell and Wilder, with
Judge De Bolt, sign the decision, the
Chief Justice not being qualified on
the case.
In the case the defendant asked for
"a revision in order that an appeal

preme Court of the United States.
This is denied but the decision quotes
"There seems to be a misapprehension

The answer is lengthy one, and in
addition to denial of the charges OF

diction. Dunno sets forth the entire

they should govern the suit, and not
the laws by which the federal court is
governed. The alleged occurrence, II

Secretary Atkinson, who leaves for
Washington on the Mongolia, takes
with him for submission to President
Roosevelt and financiers who may be
interested in the proposed new bond is

condition and expectations of the Ter
ritory. He hopes to be able to float
the loan of $75O,OOO this time at a rate
of 3k per cent, which will be the lowest
rate of interest at which Hawaii has
ever borrowed money. Another great
achievement, says Secretary Jack, for
the Carter administration, showing its
success in improving the financial
standing of the Territory.
The figures to be submitted to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. in asking his approval
of the bond issue, show total value of
taxable property in the islands amount

of twelve millions in year. The total

Treasurer Campbell's estimates show
that during the present period the Ter
ritory will spend 100000 less than its
income. "This does not mean that there
is 100000 to spare" said the Secre-
tary, "but that sum will be gained on
our current debt"

ton. He was offered the appointment
by Governor Carter and has accepted,
and he will take charge November
first. His commission will be made out
this afternoon. Davis resignation takes
effect on the qualification of his sue
cessor, so that there will be no delay
in the change.
Babbitt was offered the position yes
terday. He had the endorsement of the
Republican Territorial Central Com
mittee. An appointment was made for
him with the Governor at 11:3O this
morning and at that hour he had a con-
ference with Carter, as a result of
which he accepted the appointment. He
was among those mentioned for the po-
sition at the time when Atkinson re-
tired and Davis was chosen.
Babbitt is the third Superintendent Of
Public Instruction since the organiza-
ton of the Territory. Previous to that
for many years the Minister of Foreign
Affairs had been ex-officio Superintend-
ent of Public instruction. With the or
ganization of the Territory, the Super
intendent of Public Instruction was
made the head of an independent de-
partment and A. T. Atkinson was ap-
pointed to the position. He continued

ercede the original judgment but will
merely overrule the exceptions in the
cause in which it was rendered and
leave the said judgment in full force.
This position, we contend, is impreg-
nable and the court should, it seems to
to us, accommodate us at least thus
far. We are unquestionably entitled
to our appeal under the laws of the
United States and thus right should

loaded consignment of 1851 tons
of phosphate rock received last
week. The lot consisted of forty
eight loaded cars, which coupled
together, made a stretch of over
one third of a mile. The local
Company and Baltimore fertilizer
manufacturer, chartered the schoon-
er "Alice e. Clark" to make the
voyage from Charlotte Harbor,
Florida, to Baltimore. The vessel
sailed early in December with a
cargo of $500 tons, but went ashore
on the Tortugas, injuring her keel
and losing her rudder. She was
pulled off by a tug and put into
Key West where the tug libeled
the vessel for $4,000 and the
claim was settled by the vessel pay
ing $500. She was then COMPEL
ed to tow to Baltimore and paid
S2500 to the tug for the long trip,
stops being made at Savannah and
Charleston for coal. The cargo was
fully insured and sustained no

Road Work In Hartford County.

The Commissioners of Hartford
county have at last decided to ma
cadamize the Churchville Havre de
Grace road by way of Aldino. For
more than two years the question
of whether the Aldino or Level
route should be selected has been
in the hands of the Commissioners.
Much interest has been taken in
the road improvement, which will
be paid for mostly by money be-
queathed for the purpose by the
late William Woolsey. Numer-
ously signed petitions have been
placed in the hands of the Com
missioners and large delegations
have appeared before that body to
advocate the selection of one or the
other of the two routes. Much
feeling also has been injected into
the road question, and it is graft
flying to some that the Commits
sioners have at last decided which
course to pursue.
1t is estimated that the total cost
of making the improvement by way
of Aldino to Havre de Grace will
be about $4,000, which the Com
missioners think is about $4,000
less than by way of Level, the diff
ference being accounted for in the
grading of a hill and the construc-
tion of two steel bridges.
The commissioners appropriated
$4,000 for the Improvement in the
levy of 1904, and it is expected a
similar amount will be included in
the levy of 1905. At least a mile of
the road from Worthington Corner
to Havre de Grace has been COM
pleted, and the work on the road
from Churchville will be COM
menced as soon as the weather will
permit.-Ledger, Havre de Grace.

BLIZZARD!
A Heavy Snow and Wind Storm
Sweeps Over The Atlantic
States.
TRAFFIC COMPLETELY BLOCKED.

A severe blizzard swept over this
section Wednesday and complete
ly blocked travel in all directions.
A fine, light snow began falling
late Tuesday afternoon which con-
tinued all night and all day
Wednesday, it being estimated
between II and IA inches covered
the ground, which the strong wind
soon piled in huge drifts, COM
pletely closing railroad traffic. The
northbound evening trains got as
far as Colora, where they remained
all night, the citizens of the town
coming to the relief of the blocked
passengers by Hospitality providing
for them in their homes. As
snow plow was reported to be on
the way to open the track num-
ber of passengers, including five
Tome boy students, decided to re-
main on the train all night. Capt
Gilligan's train attempted to re.
turn to Perryville Thursday morn
ing but was stalled before reaching
Port Deposit.
AT this writing, Thursday after
noon, seven trains are reported
blocked at Mendenhall station and
one at Colora, unable to run for
ward or back, and shovelers are
busily engaged all along the line.
1t is presumed that other lines are
similarly tied up and will be for
several days.
1t developed that the snow plow
referred to, of which so much was
expected, stalled near Mendenhall
with four engines, where it is at
the present time, all the fires in
the engines being out.
All the public roads are drifted
full, many wagons which were
caught away from home ON
Wednesday afternoon having to be
abandoned while the drivers un-
hitched and got home with their
horses as best they could.
The rural delivery service is en-
tirely out of commission, the car
riers being unable to cover their
routes and therefore heing retired
temporarily on no pay.
The mercury dropped to zero at
Rising Sun on Thursday morning
and was reported 40 below at Port
Deposit.
