beautiful as the dark-haired Circassian
nymph beloved of Don Juan, in itself

twenty years of age, might have been the
youthful queen of some trans-Caspian
realm. She was tall and finely modelled,

OPINION DIVIDED AMONG PEOPLE
OF HONOLULU REGARDING DEATH
Officials and Doctors Support the Verdict, but
Public Criticizes Freely.

HONOLULU, March 15.-Opinions
differ widely here as to the death of
Mrs. Stanford. If Honolulu were to
decide by vote how Mrs. Stanford met
death SO suddenly the overwhelming
majority would probably be in favor
of the theory of natural causes. Her
advanced age and the attack OF indi-
gestion are taken much into account.
But the autopsy surgeons and the
attending physicians are solidly op-
posed to this theory, for it fails utter
ly to account for the presence of
strychnine, no matter IN how small a
quantity. in the bottle of bicarbonate
of soda High Sheriff Henry and Dep
uty RawIins are firm adherents of the
murder theory, as formally promul-
gated by the Coroner's jury in the

The local police have been subject
ed to severe criticism in their conduct
of the case. Both the High Sheriff
and the deputy are quite new to such
work as the investigation of a mys-
terry OF this character entails Homo
lulu Is absolutely without a detective
force.
There is reason to believe that De-
tectives Reynolds and Callundan were
surprised at the neglect of some lines
OF investigation by the local police
and the final reports of the detectives

discredit on the work the Honolulu
department has done. Both CaIlundan
and Reynolds, however, appreciate
the lack of men to work on such a
case in Honolulu Instead sof being
able to put dozen men on the case.

Mr.. Hopkins and / stand by the
statement we gave out just before We
left Honolulu asserted President
David Starr Jordan when approached
by representatives Of the press immedi-
ately after the Alameda had been tied
at the Oceanic dock.
The president was emphatic in reiter-
ating his opinion there was no question
that Mrs Stanford died from natural
causes.
"Yes, have just seen the statement
issued by Chemist Shorey and the doc
tors wherein they seek to refute our
version as to the cause of death and
set forth an argument in favor of the
poisoning theory" the president an
swered. But" he continued, Il don't
care how many doctors or chemists in
Honolulu make statements. or how
many statements they issue. We can't
help what public opinion may be. You
may say that we are absolutely con-
vinced that strychnine did not bring
about the death of Mrs. Stanford and
that we know whereof we speak when
we declare that her death was due to
natural causes"
Are Detectives Callundan and Rey-
nolds likewise convinced beyond all
question that Mrs. Stanford was not
poisoned in Honolulu"
Yes, they agree with us. We con-
suited with them, of course, before we
issued that statement in Honolulu. We
would not have given II out unless De-
tectives Reynolds and Callundan
agreed with us"

A topsy turvy party is good fun at
Christmas. Everything is done at this
party 'the other way around" For in
stance, very small Christmas tree is
fastened to the ceiling upside down.
On the floor number of packages
should be laid. In the packages you
must be sure to have the topsy turvy
scheme. In all those intended for the
girls you should put only such things
as boys like or use, and the older the
guest the simpler should the toys be
The next thing in this topsy turvy par
ty after the distribution of the pack
ages is to have some one enter the
room dressed as Santa Claus with an
empty basket on his back or i'll his
hand, but instead of giving each person
a present he must demand one from
each person. Later on in the evening
the guests play game of forfeits,
when they have n chance of getting
back their gifts.

that he thus gathered FOR the love of
the infant Jesus" on the festival of
the circumcision were distributed
among the poor. Intimately connected
with this was another practice of col
lccting aims for the poor, known as La
Guignolee or La Ignotee. The words
signify both custom and Il song. On
the eve of the new year bands of
youthful masqueraders serenaded the
various residents of the locality after
nightfall with music and song, knock
ing at doors and windows and begging
for offerings for the poor, generally
eatableS. with threats of revenge if
gifts were refused. y piece of pork
with the tail adhcring called La Chi
