Shaking with chill of the old fash toned variety, Lewis Rhoton, prosecut- ing attorney, yesterday afternoon arose from his office, went down ill the elevator of the Southern Trust build ing, and to drug store a few doors away, where he purchased bottle of oAill medicine. Instead of going to his home then he returned to his office, closed the door, took two doses of the medicine and went ahead boring over law books, getting ready for the argument of suit in which he is in terested, which will be argued in the supreme court Monday. This suit is the one which was brought against him to force the turning over of fees above a certain sum to the state treas ury. The decision in the lower court was in favor of the prosecuting at \ torney, and J. M. Griffin and others. he plaintiffs in the suit, then took an |appeal to the supreme court.

Arthur Deland, the pres ent postmaster, is the only applicant for the position and it is probable that he will be indorsed by the commit tee Mrs. w. H. Savage of Mon ticelo has no opposition, and as she has proven herself to be competent official, her indorsement by the com mittee is assured Huttig has recent ly been raised to d presidential of flee and J. |.

It is thought there will be another application from Waldron, though il has not yet reached the hands of the committee. J. L.

GAY FUNERAL RITES.
Curious Ceremonies That Accompany
Cremation In Siam.

Curious Ceremonies That Accompany
Cremation In Siam.
The funerals of young unmarried Ia
dies in Brazil are grewsomely gay, so
to speak. The color of the coffin is
bright scarlet, and bright scarlet, too,
are the hearse, the livery Of the driver.
the harness and the plumes that nod
on the heads of the horses.
But for a gay funeral we must go to
the cremation Of the dead in Siam.
When the body is that Of a prince the
proceedings are most elaborate. Gold
carriages galore abound, and the pyre
is ultimately lighted by the king him
self with candles which have been ig.
nited at the sacred lamps in the tenn
pies Of his palace, which burn night
and day. The lighting Of the funeral
pyre is followed up with sports and
the lotus dance. The king promotes
the mirth by tossing lines to the peo-
pie, by whom they are eagerly fought
for, as inserted in each are current
coins of the realm. Darkness having
at length fallen over the land, FIRE
works and gay Examinations conclude
these curious funeral rites.

bled away during the first hour Of
dealing in the stock market and the
precipitancy Of the decline recalled
the market of last week and gave rise
to renewed uneasiness. The greatest
sufferers from the renewed pressure
were the Hill and Hartman stocks

3 and many active stocks between 2

was an important element in the weak
ness and fears were entertained that
trouble was brewing in some Of the
foreign financial markets. It was be-
lieved also that there was selling out
of accounts that were helped through
the slump of last week IN condition
that opportunity should be taken of
the first recovery in the stock market
to reduce holdings. T.. ~ ~
The break in the first hour was
ascribed to a variety of causes, chief
among them being a persistent rumor
that one IL more failures are i'm
minent. London sold about 10000
shares in the first hour, chiefly Erie,
Southern Pacific and Steel. The eX-
citement on the exchange was quite
as great as that of last Thursday.
Considerable stock was thrown on the
market at any price it might bring.
Firms Make Private Settlement.
Shortly after noon 1t was learned
from an authoritative source that a
private settlement had been effected
between at least two Stock Exchange
firms and their creditors. It was also
said that all danger. Of suspensions or
failures had passed for the day.

tify the fears that a failure was i'm
minent. The market continued fever
ish, however, and fell into dullness
owing to the superstition that assist
ance had been extended to avoid a
failure.
The dip in the market about the de.
livery hour, at 2:15 p. M, seemed to
be due to renewed fears that an III
favorable announcement was impend-
ing. Reading, Union Pacific, Great
Northern preferred, Amalgamated
Copper and American Smelling fell
back to the neighborhood of the early
low point. These stocks subsequently
rallied briskly, some of them rising to
the high point. Union Pacific re-
bounded to 1856 and Reading to above

strong.

The Word Etiquette.

The very high sounding word ETH
quette had a very humble origin, for
etiquette meant simply a label. 1t re
ceived its present Specification from
the fact that a Scotch gardener who
laid out the grounds at Versailles for
Louis NV. was much annoyed at the
courtiers walking owe his newly made
paths and at length had labels placed
to indicate where they might pass. AT
first these labels We're not attended to,
but a hint from high quarters that in
future the walks of the courtiers must
be within the "etiquettes' or labels
was promptly attended to. To keep
within the etiquettes became the cor
rect thing. The meaning of the phrase
was afterward wideued. 49,,

FEW BLIND PIGS
OUTSIDE HONOLULU

1.-THE amount of illicit liquor selling
on the other side of the island is sur
prisingly SMALL is the way License
Inspector FenneH sizes UP the situation
after a four days tour of the districts
between Kaneohe and Waialua. He
returned yesterday from his trip, feel
ing decidedly encouraged with the way
the enforcement of the liquor law is
being carried out. He was especially
pleased with the work that Lieutenant
Luahiwa is doing in the city and the
raids made on the blind pigs during
the past few days.
'HOn my trip stopped at all the prin-
cipal points and went over the liquor
situation with the leading men of the
different communities. 1 consulted the
various preachers, school teachers and
business men in the different towns
and i believe that l got complete in
formation of what is going on. AS a
result of what I learned 1 came to the
conclusion that there is much less IL
Iicit selling of liquors on the outside
than in the city. l had expected to find
the blind pigs flourishing and was
agreeably surprised that they were so
few and unimportant."
