The sleepless Bee,

One day while working IL, the
apiary, a gentleman watched ME. He
was anxious to know how managed
to get the honey from the hives. He
queried, "Was it at night, when all the
bees are asleep?" That, of course,
would be the very worst time of all,
for bees know nothing about sleep,
but labor "a hours day. There 10
plenty of work for them to do in the
hive at night, such as evaporating
honey. comb building, etc.-Farm

ing rules for keeping down weeds, and
thereby improving crops:

or use different harrow or cultiya.

Third-Cultivate frequently with
light surface tools. .
Fourth-Sow clean seeds.
Fifth-Don't let weeds run to seed

Large Hands.

The woman with an unduly large
hand should be careful to wear sleeves
that are long and wide at the wrist,
no matter what the vogue may he. The
apparent size of the hand decreases as
the width of the cuff increases. That
is why in the old portraits of bishops
their lordships always seem to have
small hands. They wore frilled cuffs
of large size.

DISCUSSES
THE SIXTY DAY RULE
SAYS IT'S PURPOSE AS OUTLINED
BY c w. ASHFORD is A BAR TO
REAL PROGRESS.

The sixty day rule in the Circuit
Court and the decision against 1t by
Judge De Bolt on Monday is still a
matter of considerable discussion and
interest among lawyers.
c. w. Ashford, in a published COM
munication says that the reason Tor
the enactment of the law was to en-
able lawyers in Honolulu to attend the
terms of court in other circuits of the
territory. The original idea was to so
arrange the terms in the different
courts as to permit of lawyers at
tending court in each circuit, If he
had occasion to. While this idea was
not fully carried ouG Ashford claims
the sixty day rule is of substantial val
ne in carrying out that purpose.
S. M. BalIou in discussing the rule
and Judge De Bolts decision today
said:
Mr.. Ashford's letter throws con-
siderable light on the reason for the
congested calendar of the First CIR
cult Court. He has an extensive prac-
tice in that court and at the same time
attends almost every term on the other
islands. Ten years ago a lawyer could
do that, and many of them ala; the
different terms being arranged for the
convenience of that practice.
1.-THE truth is that we have outgroWh
that condition of affairs, and a man
who has a considerable practice III
Honolulu must give his entire time TO
it.
THE circuit judges are still inclined
to accept a plea of an engagement Il
another island as an excuse for the
postponement of case in this circuit
but 1 believe that no substantial pro-
gress will be made towards catching
up with our work until this plea Is no
longer accepted If a lawyer Is call

regulations pertaining to plague strick

bubonic plague has existed in a desul-

two years, and on account of it's recent
appearance in Honolulu the authorities
decided to take the aforementioned ac-
ton. DR.. j. H. Oakley, the officer in

sible all plantations should ship the

A discussion on the question as to
the exact point of dryness to which
sugar should be brought before ship

that the distance had much to do with
the matter. The report suggested that
it was doubtful if it paid to reduce the

sugar will take up moisture anyway.
The report was adopted.

WIRELESS IN HANDS
OF SHERIFF
CONTINUED from page one).

Action was taken by the High Sheriff
at the Instance of Attorney Frank e.
Thompson who received a judgment "a
gainst the Wireless Company as trustee
for $4,000 and costs over three months
ago. With the costs the claim amounts
now to about $4,000. The claim was
originally one of Cation, Neil & Co.,
the machinists, for machinery and
other supplies, Thompson having
bought it in.
In addition to this, Thompson holds a
mortgage for $4,000 on the property
which has accrued interest of nearly
another $1,000. There are other claims
which bring the total indebtedness of
the Company up to about $4,000 and
most of these are in the attorneys
hands now.
Meanwhile there will be no Interrupt
ton in the work of the wireless system.
AS soon as the High Sheriff levies on
the different offices he appoints the
operator as his custodian with instruc-
tions to carry on business until further
orders.
Attorney Thompson politely, but
firmly declined to say who were his
principals in the present proceedings
when he was seen this morning.
1t is understood that Clinton j. Hut
chins and w. r. Harrington are among
the principal stockholders.
Lihue, November 20.-High Sheriff
William Henry came up on the Hall

ment for $4235. SO was rendered against
the Inter-Island Telegraph Company in
Honolulu and it was to levy on the
cOmpany's property here on Kauai,
that Mr.. Henry made the stormy pas
sage to the Garden Island. When seen
regarding the fate of the wireless the
High Sheriff assured the reporter that
the people would suffer no incon-
venience from the proceedings. The
whole thing would be run as before; in
fact he had already engaged Mr.. Hede-
mann, who to date had been in charge
of the station here on Kauai, to con-
tinue the service aR if nothing had
happened. A receiver would be APP
pointed who would have charge of the
affairs until the judgment was satisfied
The latter might arrange for separate
line from the station to the telephone
central in order to secure as much
privacy as possible to the patrons of
the enterprise, the lack of which SEEM

There has been a great mistake

led to believe that the main purposes

pose of such companies. They are
charitable. When a man insures in

WILL LOOK INTO
DUTY ON FISH
SOME OF THE WORK THAT WILL
PROBABLY BE REQUIRED OF
REVENUE CUTTER MANNING.

A matter of considerable interest
will be brought to the attention of the
commander of the revenue cutter Man
ming when she arrives in Honolulu for
winter duty about these islands. The
question of the collection of tariff on
fish caught outside of the three mile
limit is in all likelihood to be looked
into by the officers of the vessel That
is a part of the duty of revenue cut
tiers in other sections and while the
Manning is here she will no doubt as
certain what is to be done in the col
lection of duty from japanese and 9TH
ers who take fish outside of the limit
That such duty would be considerable
is likely, but whether it would be
enough to warrant the maintenance of
a revenue cutter is a question.

LARGE SUMS
THREE CAMP IGNS
MUTUAL LIES CONTRIBUTIONS
TO POLITICS AMOUNTED TO
NEARLY 100000

NEW YORK October 1O.-The ses-
sions of the insurance investigating
committe were terminated for the
week at the adjournment today be-
cause of the death of S. Fred Nixon,
Speaker of the Assembly of the Leg
islature Of New York at his home in
Westfield.
The testimony today did not elicit
any information of a sensational ma
ture beyond what had been discount
ed in the testimony of previous wit
nesses. The feature was the presence
as witnesses of the executive officers
of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany. These were President Richard
A. McCurdy and Vice Presidents Gram
mis- and DR.. Gillette.
While it had been limited last week
that some expenditures charged to
legal expenses might have been con-
tributions to campaign committees,
ii was announced definitely by DR..
Gillette that the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company contributed $4,000 to
the Republican National Committee
last fall, that in 1900 $4,000 was con-
tributed and in 1896 $4,000 was given
for campaign purposes.
DR.. Gillette testified that he paid
these amounts personally in cash,
and later in the day McCurdy said
that while he knew campaign contri-
buttons had been made he did not
know the amounts. He said that no
contributions had been made TO cam
paign committees before 1885, ana
that no contributions to State or mu-
nicipal campaigns had ever been made
in this or any other state.
Vice-President Grannis knew niue
about the contributions to campaign
funds, but justified them on the same
ground as President John A. McCall
Of the New York Life-that the tree-
silver plank in the Democratic pat
form was a menace to the interests OF
the policy holders.
