Not long ago a man who smokes
good cigars came back from Cuba.
There is G law limiting the number Of
cigars that can be brought in free to
fifty. This particular man hadn't de-
clared his cigars, but he was found out
all right. The customs inspectors told
him about the law, and he was the
maddest man In all New York When
he found there was no chance for him
he started in to throw the extra cigars
over into the water. The inspectors
let him do II, and he finally started to
walk OF the pier. But the officers at
once seized the cigars that were left
you threw your cigars overheard, you
know" was the explanation. The man
fumed and swore, but II was no use,
and the last straw was added when he
was arrested and later fined for throw
ing some Of the governments cigars
Into the water. he buys his cigars
right In New York now.-New York

Not For the Stout Woman.

A popular fashion that the stout wo-
man Of a certain figure should avoid
Is the new way Of putting on the Jap
anese sleeves. They begin with the
armhole proper and are made, as you
probably know, quite straight without
fullness, four inches deep, with a
roll over cuff Of contrasting fabric.
The new way is to put them on at the
shoulder at top. then run them down
within three inches OF the top Of belt
The armhole proper is the usual size

SCIENCE HAS A HUNCH.

Some scientists who represent

Declare that people should make love
And court and wed by rule.

The lean would get the fat.
And marriages would all be made
on some such plan as that
The wise committee would go fortn
And fix up every deal
Select a blond for a brunette
And leave them no appeal
The blue eyed man would match maid
Whose eyes were dark as jet;
The gentleman with curly locks

A slothful mate would win;

VEIL Of MYSTERY
HAS ben LIFTED
BreCkOns and Hendry
Went To HiIo For
CounterfeiterS

The veil of mystery that surround
ed the fitting of Breckons and Hen
dry, and supposedly of Mr.. Ed.
Munds, has been lifted. The Federal
District Attorney and the Marshal
returned from Hilo this morning and
lifted it themselves. Mr.. Ed Munds
was only side issue. Graver affairs
engaged the attention of the officials
on the Big Island.
The United States Marshal brought
back with him two Korean prisoners
and five witnesses of the same nation
ality, guarded by three uniformed
members of the National Guard, who
had been engaged to look after the
safe keeping of the prisoners.
The two men under arrest, Kim
Ming Hueng and Kim Kun Hing,
are charged, the former with passing
counterfeit coin, and the latter with
Faving in his possession a die for the
manufacture of phoney $40 gold
pieces.
Mr. Hendry states that the success
full trip to Hio was strenuous one.
Breckons and Hendry went down on
receipt of a wireless message from
l1ilo saying that counterfeiters were
operating in that district. They had
previously communicated with Chief
Willlie of the United States Detect
i've Bureau, asking that special Of
ficer be sent down to endeavor to
run down the counterfeiting gang,
but Wilkie replied that he could not
spare-a man but would allow gra-
tuity if they could get someone here
to do the work.
On landing at Hilo, Mr.. Hendry
spent Monday in sizing up the situa-
tion. He received word that two of
the men he wanted were up the road,
one at 9-Mile and the other nine
miles beyond at PahOa, in Puma. He
took Captain Fetter and Boer Off
Ger with him and started after them.
The Boer was left to watch 9-Mile
to get the first man, who was at
work in the fields, and Hendry and

TRUSTEE Explains
HOD(|N5 DISMISSAL
Doctor Says Patient And

At Hospital

The Board of Trustees of the
Queens Hospital has dismissed Dr..

and since then DR.. Hodgins has plac-

Vice President Bishop OF the

doctor does not in any way reflect on

feel that l. as secretary Of the Board
of Trustees, should make any state
ment Of the matter. | believe that
Mr. Bishop will do that"
"The Trustees have made certain
rules in regard to the hospital and 1t
is the duty Of the staff to observe
them and see that they are Observ-
ed" said a member Of the Board of
Trustees is forenoon. "These rules,
/ underst d, are no more stringent

institutions OF this kind. The Board

rules, not even from DR.. Hodgins.
These rules were not suitable to
Dr. Hodgins, and some of them he did
not observe. Under the circumstances
the Board thought it best to take the
action 1t did take in order to remove
any chance for friction
Dr.. Hodgins said that he had plac-

FEMALE LAWYER IS

Attorneys are Incapable
And Unreliable, Says
Local Portla

THAT the acts of many attorneys

of the characteristic and somewhat
startling paragraphs in the report of
Anna Gertz, eXecutriX of the will of
Christian Gertz, deceased
The eXecutrix tells in the report
what she has done. She says that on
March 1S 1905, a statement had
been filed, at later date setting out
the value of the real property at the
time of testator's death, and also
stating ages and names of some of
said testator's grandchildren; ''all
which attorney Mr.. Bussel neglected
at the time the will was probated" "
A new action in equity was filed
Dec. IL, 1905, entitled Anna Gertz ct
al VS.. j. Alfred Magoon ct al, petit
tion to annul sale under power to
cancel mortgage contract to grant
writ of right of remission to award
damages arising out of the wrongful
sale as profits, rents and for waste,
etc.
Then comes the statement regard
ing the attorneys quoted above, the
eXecutriX adding that she has gain
ed in the foregoing instances enough
experience to be good attorney in
the last instance"
The report goes on, That deiend-
ant J. Alfred Magoon filed an demur-
rer to said bill of action to which
said eXecutriX replicated; that at the
first hearing before the Honable
Judge Lindsay, said eXecutriX believ-
ed to have her case won, as after the
Bill was read by said eXecutrix At
torney Mr.. Lightfoot showed signs to
be ashamed to be attorney to De-
PENDANTS of such horrible acts. The
Honorable Judge granted 3-4 of an
hour for the hearing. Said executriX
had to read quick to be able also to

such terrible things then said execu-

Judge that he had such, all present
could observe, they came tlocking on

The Honorable Judge in the last
granted one of the attorneys a five
minute argument, but he continued

Hon. Judge continued eXecutrix ac-
ton for another date At the next
hearing it was so arranged that only
