A HISTORIC SHELLFISH.
The Purpura Was Quite a Factor In
 the Worlds Civilization.

A small sea creature has done lot to assist the development of civiliza- ton. It is known as the mureX or purpura. From it the PhOenicians manufactured the Tyrian purple. the origin of their wealth and prosperity AS each shellfsh yielded but one drop of tbe dyeing material and as BOG pounds were needed to dye fifty pounds of wool the home fisheries became in time exhausted. Then, finding it neces. sary to seek a supply elsewhere, the traders started on the first voyage ot discovery ever made Owing to this voyage the Mediterranean, with all the countries that surround it, was dis covered.
 Through this small creature also the first coloEies were founded. The Phoe- nicians, finding it impracticable to bring home large shiploads of the fish, built at those spots where the raw ma- terial abounded factories, which gradu- ally developed into permanent settle. ments.
 And as many of these colonies were founded on Grecian islands the apt natives quickly acquired the arts and Industries of their visitors, which were soon diffused throughout Greece, and the first seeds of civilization were 0own

BELLS AS BAROMETERS,
Their Tone Will Indicate What the
 Weather Will Be.

 Church bells can serve another pur- pose besides ringing you to worship. They make a good substitute for a barometer. AS the atmosphere is the sole conductor of sound from the bell to the ear, it is obvious that the in- tensity and quality of the sound as perceived by the ear will depend on the state of the medium through which it comes. For instance, if bells sound very distinctly of an evening, this points to the probability of a wet day following, since air heavily charged with moisture conducts sound better than dry air. So, too, as dense air con- ducts better than light air, bells sound more clearly when the barometer is high than when it is low, other things being equal, and so, too, with hot and cold air. These principles are familiar to all country folk living within the sound of church bells. About five miles from Lebekke, in Belgium, there are some small bells which are called water bells" When they are heard distinctly in the town rain is sure to tollow.-London Spectator.

The fact that nothing had been an
nounced from Washington with regard
to the appointment of a circuit judge
here was taken by some of those in
terested this morning as indicating that
it has been decided to send an agent
of the Department of Justice here to
investigate the matter. This is the
usual course, where there are charges
against a judge, and it is pointed out
that while Carter has not filed any
charges in formal way, he has taken
action which indirectly amounts to the
same thing. While news was expected
at any time there was a growing con-
viction that the delay meant an in
vestigation. An investigation, accord
ing to a practically unanimous local
opinion, meant the reappointment of
Judge Robinson. Hence those interest
ed i'm his case were disposed to regard
the delay as favorable to the judge.
Considerable discussion was caused
by the statement i'm the Advertiser this
morning, quoting a "well known law
yer" to the effect that the Bar AS

The official day for the Chinese New
Year was celebrated today. The most
important event of the celebration Gayd
of the season was the reception given
by the Chinese Consul and Mrs. Chang
Tso Fan, at the Consulate on Victoria
street opposite Thomas Square.
The reception was from II to 2, but
long before the first named hour, Chi
nese resident, including almost all of
the principal Chinese merchants of the
city called to pay their respects and to
present to the consul matters of i'm
pOrtance to the Chinese community.
The spacious lanais and drawing
rooms of the house we're simply but
attractively decorated with Chinese
lilies, and other flowers in handsome
vases. Chinese sweetmeats and other
refreshments were provided i'm abund-
ance. The Consul's card on the red
paper indicative of the season was
given to each caller
The Hawaiian band under the direc-
tion of Captain Berger was in attend
ance, being stationed under an i'm
mese banyan tree i'm the yard, ad rem

sociation meeting Saturday was mark
ed by the absence of large number OF
representative lawyers. The meeting
was in fact the biggest ever held here
with one possible exception.
The fact is that there were prac-
tically no representative firms unrepre-
sented at the meeting on Saturday. Ev-
cry big firm in Honolulu was represent
ed and most of the big individual law
yers were personally present. Notable
exceptions were w. A. Kinney, e. b.
McClanahan and Henry e. Cooper. 1t
was reported before the meeting that
they had decided to remain away as a
matter of delicacy the Carter charges
against Robinson having arisen out Of
a proceeding in which S. II. Derby, OF
the same firm took part. Their atti-
tude is well known, however.
Going through the entire list of rep
resentative local attorneys and firms,
there appears to have been only a single
firm not at the meeting of the Bar As
sociatiOn which repeated its unanimous
endorsement of Robinson.

County Clerk Kalauokalani and De-
putty Buffandeau this morning called at
the Secretary's office to get some in
formation as to their duties in con-
nection with the coming election. They
will have the duty of preparing the
county ballots for next November, and
wanted to discuss the matter with
Chief Clerk Buckland.
The Territory will prepare the Ter

counties have to have their own, also

STORM DRIVES TWO ON BEACH
AND swAMPs THREE MORE AT
KAANAPALI.

Not an ounce of sugar has been load
ed by the bark Nuuanu at Kaanapali
although she has been at that port for
eleven days Five Of the big scows of
that port were out of commission by
the rough weather that prevailed last
week Two of the scows We're piled
high and broken on the beach and three
others were swamped. The Nuuanu
has been holding on to her moorings
for safety, 1t is likely that she will
be able to start loading sugar today, as
the weather has moderated about the
islands.
The bark Olympic finally arrived at
Kaanapali yesterday. She was II days
going from Honolulu to Kaanapali
Evidently the vessel struck very rough
weather and captain Evans had to take
his vessel away from the proximity Of
the islands. She was lying about a
mile and half off Kaanapali yester-
day according to news brought today
by the steamer Claudine.

If it were not for the physical suffer-
ing involved and for the regret that
follows inevitably upon any mistake,
it is perfectly plain that the many
friends of Bruce Cartwright Jr, and
of Captain Ingram of the 10th United
States Infantry could sit down and
laugh until their sides ached.
The mystery of the fight at Makee
Island on Tuesday evening is a mys-
terry no longer. 1t was a mistake all
the way round. The principal partici-
pants put up a good fight on both sides
and from what they told the chronicler
this morning there is no reason in the
world why their acquaintance, so in
auspiciOusly begun, should not ripen in
to a lasting friendship.
THE wondering public knows already
that there was a fight on Tuesday even
ing between the big son of Bruce Cart
wright and the athletic captain station
ed at Camp Mckinley, but every one
has been wondering what the fight was
about.
So are young Cartwright and the
Captain!

cleared up" said Captain Ingram this
morning to the Star. 1T was a most

ING no EUROPE.

Governor Carriers condition was not
improved at all this morning, but he
was no worse than yesterday. He is
still suffering from a high fever, and he
passed a very restless might on this ac-
count. Yesterday afternoon he had a
temperature of 103 and this highly
feverish condition was taken as an un-
fortunate symptom. Whether it was a
case of typhoid or an aggravated case
of grip or dengue, was not at all GER
tain. There were many inquiries at the
Executive chambers this morning and
at the governors home, regarding his
condition. but there was little news.
In any event it is not likely that
Carter will be able to give his attention
to public duties for a couple of weeks
or more. If his condition does not soon
take a radical turn for the better, Sec
retary Atkinson will be called for, to
return here and take up the duties OF
his office as acting governor

not even suggesting that Mr.. Cart
wright was intoxicated, but the idea in

LAW MAKING IS ovfRDoNf.
JUDGE PARKER POINTS, OUT THE
EVILS OF ovER-LEolslA- b
TON.

st. Paul, Sept Notable address
es and action on committee reports
marked the second day of the meeting
at the state capitol of the American
Bar association.
The annual address was made at the
morning session by Judge Alton B.
Parker of New York, the Democratic
candidate for president two years ago.
Judge Parker's subject was over-legis-
lation, which he regards as an evil.
Among the causes for the passage OF
unnecessary laws Judge Parker gave
the failure to enforce laws already on
the statute books and general hysteria.
Judge Parker took occasion to express
his opinion, not complimentary, of the
power over legislation exercised by
presiding officers of legislative bodies
and of executive influence over legisla-
ton.
The address of Thomas ]. Herman
of Baton Rouge, La, at the evening
session was on The Jurisprudence of
Lawlessness." Mr.. Herman discussed
the ''unwritten law the law higher
than STATUTE" of which so much has
been heard lately, particularly in con-
nection with the scandalous New York
murder.
