The Bennington is well known in
this port, having frequently called here.
Her last visit was year ago the com.

Station. This gunboat has played her
part, and played 1t well, in the max.

tism Of fire a few weeks later when a
squad of marines under Captain Taus.
sig were landed at Malabon and at.
tackled by FiliDinos. Lieut.. Emory
Winship, well known in Honolulu, who
was covering the retreat of the landing
party from launch, was wounded with
several others, and one man was killed.
The Bennington thereupon steamed In
close and shelled the Filipinos. who
were sheltered in convent buildings,
and this soon put an end to the engage
ment.

A LAMENTABLE AFFAIR.

sort of complicated lesson is taught by the following incident, as related by The Washington Times:
 In a Florida court where a young man has been arraigned for an of tense, a young woman being plaintiff. ruling was made from the bench while: At this point, the young wo- man being in hurry and a temper drew pistol and opened fire on the asefendant: es He then drew a pistol and mother seriously wounded. The pris- oner, arraigned now on a new charge his act was held to have been justi- fable.
 The obvious lesson is that both the man and the young woman were in the wrong in going armed, and the re- suit is just what happens to SO many cases where the pistol is handy. If the parties had been unarmed it needs no argument to show that the tragedy would not have occurred, but there was the trouble. The girl was evidently high-tempered, smarting un- der wrong already done her, and doubtless believing that another wrong was to be perpetratad by the court. Thus influenced, and with her pistol convenient, she used it. Then if the man in the case had not also carried his gun handy he would have gotten out of the way and thus es- capped adding to the wrong he had al- ready inflicted on. the lady. In any way we look at 1t the primary cause of the tragedy was due to the pistol habit.
 It may be said, also, that some blame attaches to the officers of the court who permitted the pistol toters to retain their arms under all the cir- cumstances, but probably they fol- lowed the usual custom in such cases and never thought of searching and disarming the pafties. Whether the young man should have gone clear on the plea of self-defense or justifiable homicide is a matter about which there will be differences of opinion. If he had already been guilty of wronRing her it would seem that he might have managed to save himself without com hitting greater crime. Anyway we view it we can only look at 1t as a la- mentable occurrence.
