What People Say.

They say that Frank Owings put his
foot in it by the admissions he makes
in his reply to Mr.. Mckenzie; that bis
party is diligently engaged in denial of
some Of the plsnks intended to catch
the "plutocratic" vote.
They say that T. F. Connolly will
have walk.over for Sheriff, not only
in consequence of his own popularity
but the want Of any enthusiasm in
support OF his opponent.
They say that Robt. Aver made
splendid record in the last assembly,
and without any growing over results
for himself, and that it would be we'll
to give him an endorsement on that
score. Besides it is very generally
conceded that it takes . new member
about full term to understand the
oddities and intricacies Of legislation
sufficiently to become an efficient aid
to his constituents, if they have any
special interests to subserve.
They say that . man who possesses
thorough business qualifications gen.
orally makes better legislator than
lawyer, for the reason that the business
man endeavors to simplify and adapt
legal forms to the safety and develop
ment Of business interests, while the
lawyer, ever intent upon personal gain,
endesvors to mystify the public go as
to make his services essential to liti.
giants and leave loopholes whereby the
law may be adapted to the interest Of
clients only through . liberal fee.
That is why Edmund Rice is so much
better qualified for law-maker than
Frank Owings.
They say that Frank c. Owings'
"Oily Cannon" in his reply to Mr..
McKenzie's queries, shows just what
an adept he is in avoiding plain and
straightforward answers. He has evi.
IDENTIFY studied we'll the advice OF an
old practitioner to young aspirant

law on your side, and are short on evil

to the jury-stick to the law. If yor
have winning evidence, but no law
stick to the evidence and implore {
verdict in the name OF justice ant
humanity. If you have neither Law
nor evidence, kick up dust and mys
tify the jury" That is just what MI
Owings has done in his reply to MI
Mckenzie.
They say that P. NJ. Troy has show
by his legal record that he lie q SAT
counsellor and able advocate, and tha
he has a record to show is much 10 hi
favor. 1t would puzzle bis opponen
to exhibit . record OF any sort. Will
Mr.. c. D. King may be a "prince OF

The five Koreans who murdered one
of their countrymen on Hawaii in De-
cember last will be hanged for their
crime Acting Governor Atkinson has
declined to interfere with the course
of the law, and the date of the execu-

signed and delivered to the High
Sheriff last night
The five men who viii suffer the ex-
treme penalty of the law on that day
are SHIN Myeng Ok, Kang Yong Box,
Kim Yong zee, Chang Chi Yuel and
Woo Myeng Sock.
The people of Honolulu are familiar
with the story of the murder, which
was, perhaps, the most atrocious ever
committed in the islands. 1t took
place at Kukaiau, Hawaii. the man
killed having been thief who stole
money and their passports from the
murderers. At first there were nine
men engaged in the attempt to recover
the money from the shISi, puI " -
of these drew out when they discover
ed that the matter was getting ser1-
Gus. leaving the five now under sem
tence of death, and one other who
seems to have been the instigator OF
the crime but who was shrewd enough
to be absent from the scene when the
actual killing took place. He escaped
with a long term in jail.
The five tortured the murdered man
in various ways, beating him with
sticks, pouring soy into his wounds
to make them smart, and at last
kindling a fire of brush on his alb
domen There seems to have been
some doubt as to whether he was
burned, however.
The men confessed their guilt, and
were fairly tried. 1t was claimed,
however, that they were ignorant of
American laws. that torture was in
accord with Korean custom, and last
Monday Rev. Mr. Wadman, pastor Of
the Methodist church, in company with
Acting japanese Consul Matsubara,
appeared before the Acting Governor
and made a plea for mercy for the

lapsed yesterday and the contents,
comprising about 5000 bags of raw
sugar, were scattered about, but the
sugar remained intact in the bags. The
tremendous amount of sugar stored in
the warehouses forced the sides open
and the collapse of the building re-
suited.
In order that the sugar should not
be exposed to rain, shine or dew forty
three empty freight cars were sent

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

There is no such thing as a secret.
A reasonable probability is the only
certainty.
Men who have violated the law say
1t is not hard to do.
Romance is like tire-if you play
with it you are liable to be burned.
There is too little attention given to
two mighty important words, Don't
tell"
1t is a bad plan to seek to make q
good impression by following every
statement with an apology.
The trouble is when we do things
for our friends we do things we want
to instead Of what they would be pleas
ed to have us do.
We can't understand why people try
to deceive others, but cannot under
stand why they should try to deceive
themselves, as so many seem to do

Weighing Common Air.

The weight of air has often been test
ed by compressing it in receptacles by
the air pump. That it really has weight
when so compressed is shown by the
fact that the weight of the vessels is
increased slightly by filling them with
compressed air and that such vessels
become specifically lighter as soon
as the air contained in them is ex-
hausted. Many elaborate experiments
on the weight of air have proved that
one cubic foot weighs $50 grains, or
something less than one and a quarter
ounces. The above experiment on the
weight of air is supposed to be made
at the surface of the earth with the
temperature at so degrees F. Heated
air, or air at high elevations, Is much
lighter.

EVERY landowner should Help Beau

Attention should not be confined to
the Travelled roadway to the total neg
lect of the roadside, says the Auto Ad-
vocate. The Importance Of identifying
the unused margins Of the road allow
ance Is matter which should be i'm
pressed upon every landowner. How
ever good the road, it does not fully
serve its purpose If the roadside Is a
tangled mass of weeds, brush, rubbish
and tin cans. A farm usually par

Is apt to be an index to character of
the farmer.
Rural England owes much Of its
beauty not only to its good roads, but
also to the well kept roadsides, the
magnificent trees and beautiful hedges.
1t is power that creates a love of
country and an unfaltering patriotism.
Grade and level the roadside as we'll
as the road. Establish a good sod.
Keep down the weeds. Let the fences
be neat and tasteful. Plant groups of
trees and shrubbery. Utilize any
springs available near the road to
make drinking places for horses and
cattle. In doing all this preserve ma
ture at her best, making the most Of
natural advantages.
The r0adsides cannot, need not, be
converted into lawns, but they need
not be the unsightly emblems of chaos

of nature is destroyed, and we owe it
to ourselves to make such atonement
as we can by restoring a certain
amount of order and ornament.
