|. TENNEY PECK SAW
EVERYTHING BUT SNAKES

l.. Tenney Peck, who was called to
Hilo as a juryman in the Federal court
on Tuesday, returned on the Enter
prise yesterday. The court convened
Wednesday night and a special venire
was called the next morning when, the
box being filed. and no defendant on
hand, Judge Dole excused those Jurors
whom he felt ii would be necessary to
be in Honolulu on Saturday. Mr.. Peck
was one of them. With one other he
left for Kilauea on the afternoon train
Thursday arriving at the Volcano
House shortly after six in the evening
when We arrived everyone was at
the crater so there was neither guide
nor horse. Demosthenes hustled some
boys with lanterns and sent them TO
the crater and in a couple OF hours
Aleck. Lancaster came up with a party
and after quick lunch, for he had
been with a party at the brink for six
hours. we started down the trail.
II saw the grandest sight I ever saw
in my life and yet the floor of the pit
was not entirely covered with lava At
one end. and slightly under a project
ing shelf of lava, and a fountain play
ing in all its glory and, according to
my deductions, the lava reached a
height of fifty or more feet. There was
a stream of it flowing part of the way
around the floor and was as thin as |
water. At times the surface would |
cloud over much like a plumbers metal |
pot, and then would break UP afresh |
in brilliant streams of yellow and red |
fire.
There was a peculiar kissing of /
steam. not a snort. nothing gutteraI, |
just heavy breathing out. imagine |
Pele was trying to dislodge the heavy /
mass and was breathing heavily in her /
effort to do so. A peculiar sight was /
the many different forms the lava 1
would take at times. I saw a man. a
woman and a bear at one time and /
once there was the bust OF a woman
with her hair done in modern style
but one eye was lacking. In a little
while this appeared but grew so large
as TO be abnormal. Then a change
came and the size was reduced. Once
centipede made its appearance
and come to think of it I saw every
thing but snakes. It was a glorious
scene and everyone who spoke Of the
trip did so enthusiastically"

WoMAN's NOSE FAULTY.

An English doctor, having arrived at
the conclusion that no woman was a

SO bad that a woman could not even
distinguish whether sample of wine
was very good or very bad.

A certain pastor of a certain flock
told his congregation the other day
that any man who drew a salary ex-
ceeding $4,000 a year was thief,
because no mans services were
worth more. That puts me safely on

HIS FOOT ON THE TREAoMlLL.
Mr.. Joscker Tells Of One Sentenced TO
Hard Labor for Life.

Said Mr.. Joacker, who was reading
the paper: Another poor wretch has
been given life sentence at hard la
bor."
Said Mrs. Joacker, who was EN-
broidering blue roses: Probably he
deserves it. What is he guilty Of"
Fraud and no visible means of sup.
port. He obtained clothes and fine
turnout with no money and nothing
collectible. He seems to be larger and
stronger than most of that class, yet It
is plain that he has never done a tap
of work, though he has managed to
live well, so far. But the poor fellow
takes his sentence hard and cries
piteously, protesting his innocence"

with perfect fools!"

An Ohio man eats teaspoonful of
sand every day. He does not chew
the sand-merely washes it down with
water. He also takes great care not
to eat food containing lime and he
does not swallow his toothpicks. He
says that by following these rules he
is curing his indigestion and has no
fear of lathing and plastering his In

The extraordinary popularity of fin


white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from al! injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. It's great strength as stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result Of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
were new.

Boise Murder Trial Again Halted For Want of TaIesmen.
 BOISE, Ida, May 21-It seems inevi- table that the Steunenberg murder trial must be halted again today to permit the gathering of another spe- cial venire of talesmen, as only eleven out of twenty peremptory challenges have been used, and only nine of the hundred veniremen gathered week ago remained uncalled. The remaining nine will hardly furnish grist for e days work, so Judge Wood will proba. bly, adjourn the trial for at least full day and send Sheriff Hodgin forth In quest of additional talesmen.
 A stir was caused in the courtroom when witness said Fisher, juror No. 10, had said that Mover, Haywood and Pettibone ought to be strung up." O. P. Allen, Boise socialist made the assertion.
 Sixteen men were examined and ex- cused for cause. Most of them had deep seated opinions as to the guilt or innocence of William D. Haywood and went down for bias challenges from the state. Two of the sixteen had scruples against capital punishment, and two others had scruples about hanging a murderer on circumstantiai evidence
