terry with a weapon obviously and
eminently dangerous to life on
Manuel Enos, an engineer at Ka-
hului.
After a drinking bout in a saloon
in Kahului in which cheap wine,
rows and maudlin professions of
Fiendship were prominent features
al of the parties to the affair went
cut and a shcrt time after that, as
ia number of the young men who
had been in the saloon were drink
ing near the railroad track, lis
claimed to have come up and offer
ed to fight, at which Manuel Enos
arose and they clinched. While
they were strugg ling, Enos was cut
by third party, whom the prose-
cution claims to have been Reed.
but whom the defense tried to show
was done by friend of Enos in an
attempt to cut the other party.
The story as told by Enos is
practically as follows; 81 was in
the saloon drinking with some
friends. | came in and asked me
for drink, refused him. We had
some words. He went out. Reed
soon came in and asked me why |
had trouble with his brother-in-law.
He struck me in the eye. l grabbed
his throat and showed him against
the bar. Joe Aki separated us.
He took out his knife. Aki asked
us to be friends. We shook hands
and treated. Reed drank, bought
some wine and went out. Later
we all went out and sat down by
the railroad track and were drink
ing wine when | came up and asked
who wanted to fight. | said | sup

clinched and struggled, and while
we were so engaged, Reed came up

DIR. Dinegar testified that he had |
attended Enos. He said the apex |
of the wound was about five and |
One-half inches wide while the cav
lty of the choraX and the cavity of
the abdomen had both been pene-
trated and an incision of the liver
had been made.
Robert Kaiwiaea, formerly of
Hama, was one of the witnesses.
Joe Aki made the best witness for
,he prosecution and his testimony
seemed to be perfectly open and
straightforward.
Attorney Vivas persistently drops
he letter Ssh" where it should be

hould not be. This caused much
'onfusion as the Hawanan "Ip is
pronounced by Vivas as the Eng

lunciation of the pronoun he is
he same as the name of one of the
lefendants. This caused many a
mile from those present and no

MARIE ANTOINETTE.
Two Dramatic and Contrasting Epi-
sodes In Her Life.

Two Dramatic and Contrasting Epi-
sodes In Her Life.
1histelton-Dyer, in his Royalty In
All Ages" describes two dramatic
and tragically contrasted episodes in
the life of Marie Antoinette, the lovely
and i'll fated queen of France. Once,
in the days of her greatest popularity,
when she went to the opera of "Iphi-
genia,'' when Achilles came to the line
LET us sing and celebrate the queen"
he turned toward the radiant young
sovereign and sang two additional i'm
promptu lines of charming compliment.
This graceful and unexpected homage
so delighted the audience that "all was
shouting and clapping of hands, and
what never happened at the opera be-
fore-the chorus was encored, and
there were cries of Long live the
Queenr at which expression of feeling
her majesty was so affected that she
shed tears"
On the next occasion, when Marie
Antoinette's sun of popular favor had
set and she was nearing the tragic
close of her life, one of the actresses in
Unforeseen Events" bowed to her as
she sang the words "Ah, how l love
my mistressr' In a moment all was in
uproar, and the theater was full of
hoarse, angry cries of mo mistress!
No master! Liberty and mo master!
No queenw and it was some minutes
before the tumult Quieted down and it
was possible to proceed with the play.

A Lively Paner Cntter

Here is a little story which the Eng
fish papers tell and any one is at lib
erty to believe if he will. No affidavits
go with it. When Lord Dufferin was
yiceroy of India the maharajah of In
dor paid him a visit and asked as a
memento an ivory paper cutter belong
ing TO Lord Dufferin. He consented

saw him until some months later when
the maharajah introduced a fine young
elephant into the room. A pile of news.
papers lay at Lord Dufferin's side. The
animal went up to them, cut them
neatly with his tusks, which had been
purposely sharpened, and laid them in
neat heap on the floor, ready for pc

American war. The so-called "roast
beef" was not roasted at all, but was

very lowest grade of cattle and was a
ration which even the hungry soldiers
IN Cuba were forced to throw away.
However, the packers claim that
"canned roast beef is feature of
every army ration in the civilized
world, and that it constitutes a vaIu-
able trademark, in virtue of which
alone they are enabled to compete
with Australia and Argentine for
domestic and foreign army contracts.
So the agriculture department has
allowed them to retain the label

that there is no such thing among
packing house compounds, and the
law is gotten around by allowing the
packers to print in fine type on the
label the fact that the beef is steamed
and not roasted ter all. There has
been considerable criticism of the
secretary of agriculture for making
this concession and the chances are
that when congress meets the matter

denizens Of the virgin forests of the
West Indian islands. 1t belongs to the
parasitical family of trees or plants;
but, terrible to relate, it invariably,
with the basest ingratitude, destroys
all life in the unfortunate tree that
cherishes 1t In its early growth. The
seeds are borne on the wings of the
wind and deposited on the branches
of other trees, when they burst into
roots, which are dropped toward the
ground all around the nurse" tree.
In time these roots reach the ground
and strike into the soil.
From this moment the roots grow
stronger and stronger until they resem-
bic a lot of rope ladders thrown over
the tree. Next the parasite sends down
great cord, which twines around the
trunk of the supporting tree, at first as
though in loving embrace, but it grows
tighter and tighter, eventually stran-

roots of the destroyer now springs q

the cordlike root rises often to fifty or
sixty feet and supports in midair the

RURAL WATER SUPPLY.
Its Sanitary Condition Not What Il
Ought to Be.


When such great sums of money are
beisag expended by city governments
that the Inhabitants of towns may have
a sanitary water supply it seems
strange that the supply in rural towns
should receive little or no attention.
This, latter population may seem rela-
lively Insignificant but it comprises
about 100000 souls. This means that
those 100000 people are drinking the
water most available without thought
of its sanitary condition
These various sources of supply,
whether wells, springs or small
streams, are similarly unreliable for
furnishing drinking water. The statis-
tics of mortality in the country are
very indefinite, but even these show
that the rural population is not as free
from illness as it should be. And
though everywhere the rural death rate
is lower than the urban death rate, yet
the lowering in the country has not
been as great as in the city. An exam
nation of typhoid statistics shows that
the death rate of other diseases is gen.
orally lower in the country than in the
city, but the prevalence of typhoid is
almost equal to if not greater in the
rural districts than in the cities.
Several instances have been reported
which show the rural typhoid rate to
be ten times greater than the urban
rate for the same district. To particu-
larize, a certain district in central
Pennsylvania proves this fact. 1t is
made up of rural population with 100
inhabitants to the square mile 1t is a
region of fine farms, wild mountains
and woods, country residences and pic
mic groves. And in this valley there
has been as much typhoid fever as in
the city of Philadelphia.
Sad as this condition is, there seems
to be no remedy for it. The sources of
a city water supply are few and the
city government easily controls the
conditions affecting it. But what can
be done when the sources of supply
are numbered by the thousands? A
mint of money and an army of chem
lists would not be sufficient to give the
same care to the country supply that is
given to that of the city-New York
