XMAS. in WASHBURN.

Christmas Day in. Washburn
was a very quiet one, the citizens
spending most Of the day around
their own Preside, enjoying the
many Injuries of the season. The
day was soft and balmy like the
springtime. Sunday evening the
Congregational church held appro-
pirate services, consisting of music,
recitations and speeches. The
building was crowded, a number
being unable to obtain admission.
The church was very prettily
decorated in evergreens and in one
corner of the room stood a large
Xmas tree decorated with candles
and gold and silver tinsel, making
the heart of the children glad, and
even the older ones, the sight of
the Christmas tree, brought back
fond@recollections of their younger
days The exercises were of a very
high order and appropriate to the
occasion and those present enjoyed
them very much. After the exer-
cises the children received presents
of candies, books and other gifts,
:. Monday evening the Methodist
church held the festal services in
the church building. On entering
the church handsome tree, reach.
ing nearly to the ceiling took the
eye. The building was nicely dec
crate and the exercises were good
and those, whose good fortune il
was to be present, speak very high
ly:of the entertainment. A large
number of gifts were distributed
We would like to mention many
of the handsome gifts distributed
but as this isthe glad holiday time
and as printers are human, it il
impossible to get the type up, hui
nevertheless, the day was fllee
with many pleasant surprises fol
both old and young. May We al

CLARENCE ASHFORD
OVERRULES CIRCUIT COURT

formidable, has been very greatly re-
duced. and that it does not now de-
mand the continuous attention or at
tendance of three judges, fifty lawyers
and two hundred and fifty jurors of
this community.
While opinion and tastes may differ
as to whether court sessions should be
divided into terms at all--some lawyers
and judges preferring continuous
term, from year to year-I freely ex'
press my choice in favor of stated
terms, to the end that not only the
judges themselves, but also members
of the bar, their clients, the witnesses
whose attendance are required upon
such trials. and, last, but not least, the
large body of busy citizens who are
called upon for jury duty, may be able
to know that hating places will be
reached. from time to time, when the
"nose to the grindstone process will
be relaxed for time, and they can
give some attention to business other
than actual civil trials in court. 1t has
seemed to me that when two or three
departments of our circuit court have
devoted themselves for sixty days to
civil trials, both the attorneys, clients,
witnesses and jurors involved in such
litigation, might fairly demand re-
spite, until the opening of the next
term, which Gan IN no case be more
than two months away
AS regards criminal business, Act 81
does not interfere with it in the least.
On the other hand, after sixty days of
any term have elapsed, it leaves all
three departments of the court at lib
erty to clean up the criminal calendar,
which. in this circuit, is now very
greatly congested, and requires the at
tention of the courts much more ur-
gently than does the civil calendar.
As to the constitutionality of Act 81
sometimes facetiously cited, as 1.-THE
Statute of Ashford y, l consider an ar
gument of that point in the Supreme
Court as being more appropriate than
an argument in the press. | observe in
Judge De Bolt s comment upon its con
stitutionality that he was surprises"
at the text of the act, after reading its
title. Though disclaiming powers of
prophecy, l am quite prepared to ven
ture the suggestion that His Honor will
be still further surprised" before
this somewhat vexed question shall be
definitely settled.
Yours truly,
C. w. ASHFORD.

Honolulu. t. H.. Nov. 81, 1905.

Honolulu, T. H., Nov. 81, 1905.
Editor Advertiser; Your comments,
at different times, upon the Act of the
last Legislature forbidding jury trials
in civil cases, in this circuit, after sixty
days of any term of court has elapsed,
unless by consent of all parties, would
indicate that you are as far from un-
Outstanding the true intent and pur-
pose of that act as the court itself, and
the majority of the bar appear to be.
The Act in question (Act 81, 1905),
was intended as supplement of Act
"a, which re-assigns the terms of the
different circuit courts throughout the
Territory, and it was the intent of the
drafter of Act 81, that Act "a should
provide for the holding of the terms
outside of Honolulu, SO far as practi-
cable, not less than sixty days after the
opening of any term of the first cir
cult. 1t is well known that the out
side circuits are largely, and some of
them almost entirely, dependent upon
the Honolulu bar, for the transaction
of their court business. If, therefore,
Act "a had passed in the form submit
ted by the drafter of Act 81, the MEM
bers of the Honolulu bar would have
been at liberty, so far as civil trials are
concerned, to devote their attention to
the outside circuits, after the lapse of
sixty days of any term in Honolulu.
But the intent of those two acts, as
originally submitted, was deviated
from, and the benefits of Act 81 were
considerably impaired by the assign
ing of the terms of the outer circuits.
Yet, Notwithstanding the diminution
of the benefits intended to flow from
those acts, l maintain, in the face of
all comment to the contrary, that Act
81 is a positive and considerable bon-
eft to the courts of the Territory as
whole, to the bar Especially the Homo
lulu barr, to litigants, witnesses and
jurors. 1t is preposterous that in
community of this size we should have
a practically continuous term, with
three courts and their attendant juries,
running ten months in the year The
conditions here existing do not require
anything so absurd. 1t is true that, in
September, 1903, when the "continu-
Gus term went into operation, the
civil calendar of this circuit was
greatly congested. But it is equally
true that, owing to the industry of the
circuit judges, and the weeding-out
process which has since been applied,
the calendar in question, although still

ARBITERS IN HATS.

The Partisan millncrs stand forth
as the arbiters of fashion in hats, and
one may be certain that their creations
are IL forecast of what Is to come. The
latest hats just imported show that
larger sizes will prevail in "dress'
hats, that is, hats for formal occasions
and wherever the picturesque type is
permissible.
A number of these chapeaux are cx-
cessivcly large, and their effect on or
tlinary looking women would be lu-
dicrous in the extreme. \ tall. hand
some woman can safely experiment
with even outrc hats, for they cannot
kill her beauty, while the large, pic
turesque hats are especially adapted 10
her height and her good looks. BY tall
women, the ordinarily tall woman is
not meant; no one under ) feet 5 could
with any propricty wear some of the
huge heplumcd hats just arrived. The
feathers used are chiefly aigrcttcs and
quills. Ostrich plumcs. however. and
some of great length. appear on scv-
eral of these hats. but feathery birds
of paradise plumcs are often combined
with them
