RESIGNS
HIS POSITION

NJ. F. Prosser, first deputy Attorney
Genera, yesterday resigned from that
position and notified Attorney General
Hemenway that he would resume his
private practise after September 1, by
which time he expected to have the
loose ends of his official business gath
cred up in shape for his successor to
take hold.
Mr.. Prosser has been connected with
the Attorney Generals department
since February, 1904, coming to Homo
lulu from Kauai to enter the depart
ment as the second deputy. In his
work for the government he has been
signally successful and his decision to
retire is to be regretted.
This regret is shared by Attorney
General Hemenway, who had made in
ducements to Mr.. Prosser to continue
his work. Mr.. Prosser was an appli-
cant for the position of Attorney Gen
eral in the Frear cabinet.

AGED WOMAN SEEKS DIVORCE.
One Of the most extraordinary d.
vorce cases ever instituted in the Ter
ritorial courts is that of Luka Paa-
luhi against John Paaluhi, the hbelant
being Hawaiian woman over seventy
years old and her husband, whom she
would divorce, over seventy-five years
old. The marriage was solemnized |
about twenty-six years ago.
The libel states that for many years |
past the erring husband has Mormon
;zed the household, bringing first Ke-
now deceased, and later |
Ana. Malta, a negress, to share the |
family roof. Not content with asking |
his wife to share his affections with |
one or two Others he has allowed the |
younger woman, the negress, to beat |
his spouse and finally to turn her out |
Of the house her own money had paid |
for. All of which has caused the wife |
mental and physical suffering. Her |
income she states at $40 a year, while |
the erring husband collects $457 year
as rental for property in which she |
has half interest.
She asks that the court order her
husband to allow her $50 month tenn
porary alimony and a reasonable at
Lorney fee for the case and that a
divorce and a permanent alimony of
$50 a month be granted.
The husband, although seventy-f1ve
years old is, she states, able to work
md provide them both with living.
DENIES ALL CRUELTY.
Maria Isabella Roberts, against
whom an action for divorce was
by John E. Roberts on Thurs
lay, filed her reply to his tales of
cruelty on her part yesterday. Her
answer is brief. She admits having
married the libelant but denies each
IND every other charge made by him.
She consents that the case may go up
or an immediate hearing and valves
Ill her statutory rights for extension
If time, service of notice, etc.

NOT IN FAVOR OF BROAD TIRES.
Mr.. Holbrook Opposes Legislation
Detrimental to Business.

Mr.. T. L. Holbrook. the president Of the
Standard Brick Company. who Is confined
to his home by illness. communicated with
the engineer department of the District to-
day in reference to the broad-tire regula-
ton. It having been reported In a morning
paper that he was present at the hearing
yesterday. Mr.. Holbrook states that he Is
not In favor Of legislation that Is opposed
by the business community.
while 1 believe In broad tires. don't
believe in legislation that will make q man
do what he thinks will be a detriment to
his business. Twenty-Five years ago our
company used and 2h-inch tires. but we
have changed from time to time until We

In 1915 Mr.. and the Hon.
Mrs. Poyntz were staying with
their two only sons at the
seaside town of Bognor, on
the Sussex coast. One hot July
day after a pleasant outing
the party were on the way
home, when a sudden squat
upset the boat, drowning
Poyntz, his wife, and his two
sons. The calamity was of
course credited to the account
of the curse pronounced upon
the ancestor of Mrs. Poyntz by
the monk at Battle Abbey.
With regard to Battle Alb
hey, its possession seems to
have brought misfortune upon
the Websters; for they were
obliged by financial embar-
easements to get rid of it;
and it passed through several
hands before being purchased
by the late Duchess of Cleve-
land, mother of Lord Rose
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-01-27

the curse upon the place might
be lifted. But being in doubt
about the matter, and fear
full lest any harm should befall
his only son, he declined to
leave Newstead Abbey to him,
but bequeathed the place to
his younger daughter, Lady
Chermside, who has no children.
What the ultimate fate of
the abbey may be it is difficult
to see; for recently coal has
been discovered on the estate,
the mines proving exceedingly
rich. The operations, how
ever, cannot be extended with
out entailing the destruction of
the abbey, with its cloisters
and quaint old garden; and
it is understood that General

Ridiculed the Superstition

A MONG those who have suffered in this manner
n are Lord and Lady Leith who, when they ac-
quired Fyvie Castle, in Aberdeenshire, disposed
to ridicule the idea that it accounted unlucky
Lady Leth is American woman, daughter of
D. A. January of St Louis, and her husband, after
retiring from the British navy, established himself
in business in this country, and made large fortune
in Chicago president of the Joliet, the Illinois,
and the Federal Steel Companies, before returning
to his native land to buy Fyvie Castle. All sorts of
legends cluster round the latter including that of
the Trunpeter of Fyvie, whose unhappy love for
Annie fifty, the millers daughter, has furnished
the themes of so many poems
The Trumpeters tragic death, which is said to
have caused even the very stones to weep, led to
the imposition of a upon the castle by that
master of magic and spells, Thomas the Rhymer,
who, angered beyond measure at the disposition
of the lord of the castle to ridicue the idea that
stones could weep, declared that the ownership of
Fyvie should pass from father to until
the third of three stones known The Weeping
Stones" was recovered. One of the stones is built
into the castle walls, where it absorbs and exudes
moisture IN most curious way; another is trans
ferred the possession of each purchaser tenant
of the estate; while the third, which is missing is
currently believed to be lying embedded in the mud
at the bottom of terribly deep lake in remote
portion of the property. Whatever doubts may
have existed in the mind of Lord and Lady Leith
the value of this superstition set at rest
by the death of their only Percy in South Africa
during the Poer War.

reavement. For fully twenty-four hours before the

receipt or the deSpatCheS con-
tanning the news that the young
officer, born in America, had
fallen in battle, the people of
Fyvie Castle had been troubled
by the appearance of the spec
ter of the Trumpeter, known
in the countryside as The
Green Laddie," who for the
last five hundred years has in
variably shown himself when
ever any calamity was about
to overtake the owners or &C.
cupants of Fyvie.
1t was with the object of
averting a similar misfortune
that Colonel William Frederick
Webb, on dying, bequeathed
Newstead Abbey, the famous
home of the poet Lord Byron,
to his youngest daughter, mar
ried to General Sir Herbert
Chermside, instead of to his
eldest girl, or to his only son
Roderick. The abbey, which
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-01-27

was built by King Henry II. in expiration of the
murder of ST. Thomas a Beckett, Archbishop of
Canterbury, has long been burdened with curse,
the effect that it should pass from father
to son, which, according to some, dates from the
time of the coniscation of the abbey at the Refor-
nation, and by others has been ascribed to an act
e Wefed 1y the NTH LORD
This peer had many crimes in his record, includ-
ing the killing of his coachman, whom he shot dead
for some dsobedience and the singularly cowardly
murder of his cousin William Chaworth, while he
staying as his guest at Newstead Abbey. Byron
was tried for this latter homicide by the House of
Lords, and escaped with verdict of manslaughter,
which was punished by the imposition of heavy
fine Held up to obloquy in connection with this
crime, and ostracized by society. he withdrew to
the country to spend the remainder of his days in
Newstead Abbey, embittered against his fellow
creatures that he sought in every way possible to
shock and horrfy them. In fact, he was believed
by the people of the district to be in league with
Satan, and invited the wrath of Heaven by violat-
ing the sepucher of the old time abbots of Newstead
one of whose skulls he had mounted in silver and
converted into drinking cup, which he used at
those orgies at which he and his boon companions
defed Providence and hailed Satan. He lived to
see both his son and the latter's only boy die by
that the abbey passed into the hands of the poet
distant relative.
Had to Sell the Abbey
T1HE sixth Lord Byron, the bard, as everyone
i knows, had son, and left only daughter,
afterward Countess of Lovelace, who, like Newstead
Abbey, figures often and lovingly in his poems
notably in ''Chiide Harold" The abbey therefore
at his death went to remote knsrnan, who became
seventh Lord Byron and he was obliged, through
poverty, to get rid of the old place He sold it to
Colonel Wildman
The latter likewise pursued by the malediction
imposed upon the owners of Newstead Abbey, lost
his only son, and was overtaken by other reverses,
which led him to dispose of the property to the late
William Frederick Webb, the traveller and explorer.
Sometime after becoming the owner of the abbey,
Webb discovered, by mere chance, in second hand
hr Ca on IN dist off Tar6a
in London, the gruesome drinking bowl of the
fifth and wicked Lord Byron. He at once purchased
it, and caused the skull to be reverenty renterred
within the abbey precincts, hoping that thereby
