sTORK DINNER IN SOCIETY.
Novel Entertai in m cnt Held For Young
st. Louis Mntrons.


st. Louis MRtrons.
Race suicide was the chief topic ta-
booed the other night at perhaps the
most original dinner ever given in
America-certainly the most novel In
st. Louis-at which Mrs. Charles T.
Jones. mother-inlaw Of City Attorney
Maurice Jones OF East st. Louis was
the hostess. says st. Louis special to
the New York Press. Mrs. Jones the
elder entertained six young matrons
at stork dinner, rs she called 1t, and
10 admirably did she carry out the idea
that no other term would fit it. All the
half dozen young mntrons who were
her guests had been married about half
year. They We're schoolmates and
grew through girlhood together. Mrs.
Jones had kept n motherly ey" on them
from their respective wedding days,
and she concluded few days ago the
time had arrived for her social coup.
Painted by hand on every invitation
was n flying stork. That was Il hint, so
the guests were not amazed on arriv-
ing in Mrs. Jones' luxurious home to
find it redecOrated for the occasion,
with the wide wings of the portcntous
bird fiuttering In all directions. Nor
did the idea end there. Each youthful
matron found at her plate paper
crib. Over every cradle n tiny stork
dangled a timer cherub. As each favor
in turn was lifted. the baby fell into
the crib and snugged cozily on a paper
pillow. All the napkins were folded
with safety pins. and the center piece
was huge stork Zcalously guarding
the welfare Of an imitation of an in
fant in swaddling clothes.
The menu consisted Of the following
dishes: Baby food soup, crib celery,
milk fed chicken, gocart potatoes. Cas-
toria sauce. parcgoric salad. baby curl
candy. nuts. with safety pins as picks,
paddy cake and I-scream.
All OF the young matrons were school
mates and were married in n circle OF
their own, several of them acting as
bridesmaids of the old chums. only to
be led to the altar soon after by men
who had acted either as best men or
ushHrs at the previous weddings.

BOTH FOOD
AND MEDICINE.

We like best to call SCOTS
Emulsion a food-medicine. 1t
is term that aptly describes
the character and action of
our Emulsion. More than a
mediCine-more than a food,
yet combining the vital prin-
ciples of both. 1t is for this
reason that SCOTS Emulsion
has a distinct and special
value in all wasting diseases.
There is nothing better to
remedy the troubles of i'm
perfect growth and delicate
health in children. The action
of SCOTS Emulsion is just as
effective in treating weak
ness and wasting in adults.

MATTERS BEFORE
THE LAND COURT

Judge Weaver has rendered a deci
sion on the petition of Hawaiian Trust
Co. for a registered title to the prop
erty at King and Fort streets, saying:
- find the petitioner has good
title in fee simple as alleged in the
petition, with the right to occupy a
portion of the premises on the south
west side with a party wall jointly
with the adjoining owners, as set forth
in the petition.
cit is admitted, and I find that from
1891 there has existed a public side
walk over the triangular piece of land
described in the answer of the Ter
ritory, as amended, and the same is
still used as such.
tSuch triangle has frontage Of So
feet on the corner of King street and
the same on Fort street, and base
line of 80 feet. Overhanging this
piece is a tower on the second story
of the building, which has existed on
this lot since December 1890.
81 am of the opinion that the public
has an easement only over this triangu-
lar piece of land.
"Let the triangular piece of land
be described in the decree as being
subject to an easement for a public
sidewalk.
Judge Weaver has granted the petit
ton of William r. Castle, trustee for
Theodore f. Lansing, for a registered
title to land, subject to an easement
for public right of way over the land
described by metes and bounds in the
amended answer of the Territory of
Hawai-.
Charles F. Peterson answers the pc
tition of John Kidweli for registered
title to land in Manoa, disputing the
boundary line between their respective
lands laid down therein In the same
matter Judge Weaver has allowed de-
fault of all parties defendant, whether
named in the notice or not, who have
not appeared or answered.
Fred. WI Milverton, Deputy Attor-
ney General, answers the petition of
John Walker for registered title to
land, disputing the boundaries and
claiming strip of the property as
forming portion of Piikoi street In
the same matter Judge Weaver has al
lowed default against all parties de-
PENDANT. whether named in the notice
or not, who have not appeared or an

CORNWELL
TO PROTEST

w. H Cornwel1, Jr., OF Maui, de-
feated candidate for Supervisor on the
Home Rule ticket, declares that he will
seek a recount and expresses himself
as sure of victory.
He claims that an unfair method of
his defeat.
E. M. Watson will act as attorney for
CornwelI, who arrived from Maui yes
terday morning for the purpose of set
ting his case before the Supreme Court.
The defeated candidate does not claim
fraud, but finds fault with the way in
which the ballots were counted
Cornwell states that in the Puunene
precinct, which is a Republican strong
hold. the entire county ticket was not
thrown out if there was a mistake in
it, but only the vote on the candidates
where the mistake was made. In this
manner S. E. Kaiue received votes
which he would not have got had the
whole ticket been thrown out.
In the Wailuku and Waihee precincts
the opposite system prevailed, says
Cornwell. These precincts We're strong
for him and he figures that right there
he lost from 80 to 35 votes against five
or six lost by his opponent
At Kihef, according to the applicant
for recount, two votes for him were
thrown out on ballots which the in
spectors declared were so marked that
there was no identifying them Corn
we'll insists that the inspectors were
in the wrong
Kaiue was elected by a majority of
five votes and Cornwell is sanguine that
he will win his case whichever way the
Supreme Court decides the question.
