CHILDREN NOT
LEGITIMAT TIED
SUPREME COURT HOLDS THAT
SUBSEQUENT MARRIAGE OF
PARENTS Is UNAVAILING IN
SUCH CASES.

The Supreme Court this morning de-
cided the case of Annie Kealoha and
Keoni Williams VS.. William r. Castle
trustee, on a question reserved by the
First Circuit Court. The proposition
involved was the payment or non-pay-
ment to the petitioners of some trust
funds, and the principal question is de-
cided as set forth in the syllabus as fol-
lows:
children of an adulterous intercourse
not legitimized by parents subsequent
marriage" This following a decision
in the Fourth Hawaiian reports. Chief
Justice Frear in concurring with the
decision today says
Il concur on the ground that, al
though think that decision in the Ke-
kula 9th Hawaiian) case erroneous, we
ought not to override it under all the
circumstances"
The decision of the court, by Asso-
ciate Justice Hartwell, says in part:
we are not prepared to hold that the
Kekula decision was wrong. Under the
Constitution and laws in force at the
time of that decision the court had
tional which it deemed to be contra
bonos mores.
I'm the exercise of its discretionary
power the court in the Kekula case
could properly have held that the act
as applied to the facts of that case was
unconstitutional because in such appli-
cation the act would be immoral, or the
same conclusion could be reached. AMI
in fact was reached, by considering that
the legislature did not intend such ap-
.plication by the Act. Whether we
should take the same view as was taxi
en- by the court in that case or not. the
decision is precedent which we do
not see fit to disregard. Nor are we
prepared to say that if the question
were now presented de novo we should
take any other view of the matter than
was taken in that case"

WRECKED VESSEL BROUGHT BY
THE NEVADAN YESTERDAY.

Crammed with freight, 1856 pack
ages of which were from the S. S. Ala
medals cargo the S. S. Nevadan arriv-
ed yesterday morning from San Fran
cisco. The vessel struck a gale the
first day after leaving San Francisco
and was put out of her course so as to
get easier weather.
Particular interest was attached to
the arrival of the Nevadan for she
brought most of the cargo that had
been salved from the S. S. Alameda af-
ter the latter vessel went on the rocks
off Fort Point The Alameda's cargo
was billed in bulk to w. G. Irwin &
Company, the agents, and was placed
in a separate compartment of the Ne
vadan so that the local agents of the
Oceanic S. s. Company will attend to
the distribution of the AIameda's
freight 1t has been decided that none
of the Alameda's cargo will be distrlb-
uted until tomorrow morning.
The freight is being gone over care
fully and a list of all of the stun that
arrived is being prepared for the local
company The local agents received
the complete list of all the stuff that
was shipped originally by the Alameda
and the new list will by comparison

the stuff sent by the Nevadan may
have been damaged while on the Ala
media, but nothing denfiite on this score
can be determined until after the dis
tribution will have taken place.
There is likely to be considerable

GOOD BLOOD FOR BAD
rheumatism and Other Blood Dis
eases are Cured by Or. Williams
Pink Pills.

"In the lead mines I was at work on my
knees with my elbows pressed against
rock walls, in dampness and extremes OF
cold," said Mr.. J. G. Meukel, Of 1915
jackson avenue, Dubuque, Iowa, in de-
scribing his experience to a reporter,
land it is not surprising that I con-
tracted rheumatism. For three years l
had attacks affecting the joints of my
ankles, knees and elbows My ankles
and knees became SO swollen l could
scarcely walk on uneven ground and a
little pressure from a stone under my
feet would cause me so much pain that l
would nearly sink down. l was often
obliged to lie in bed for several days at a
time. My friends who We're similarly
troubled were getting no relief from
doctors and / did not feel encouraged to
throw money away for nothing. BY
chance I read the story of Robert Yates.
of the Klauer Manufacturing Co., OF
Dubuque, who had a very bad case of
rheumatism. I decided to try DR.. Viii.
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, the
remedy he had used. In three or four
weeks after beginning to use the pills, l
was much better and in three months I
was well. The swelling of the joints
and the tenderness disappeared, / could
work steadily and for eight years I have
had no return of the trouble. My whole
family believe in DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. Both my sons use them. We
consider them a household remedy that
we are sure about"
What DR.. Williams Pink Pills did fol
Mr.. Meukel they are doing for hundreds
of others. Every dose sends galloping
through the veins. pure, strong, rich, red
blood that strikes straight at the cause Of
all ill health. The new blood restores
regularity, and braces all the organs for
their special tasks. Get the genuine DR..
Williams Pink Pills at your druggists

cine Co., Schenectady, NY.
