In the old country they circulate

the Torah acts as barrier between
the Jew and the world, while the
modern Jew wishes above all things

Saying mo" Without Hurting

TO decline an offer that is made in
good faith calls for all the love and
tact that any man can muster. Such
declining is a common duty in the
life of most persons, yet very few stop
to think of the need of studying how
to say "no' without hurting. If all
would do so, there would be more
sunshine in the world. Whether one
is an editor returning manuscript
that represents the labor and longing
of an earnest soul, or is hurried pc
destrian declining the noisy insist
ence OF grimy newsboy who thinks
that his living depends on his impOr
tunity, one can say mo- in such a
way that the life of the other is bur-
dened and hardened to live, or is fair
ly lifted up into brightness. a smile
with the spoken mo" will do it, if
it is hearty, loving smile. "A tact
full recognition of every good point
of the offer which we must decline will
take all the sting out of the declina-
ton And no matter how impossi-
BILE" the offer, there is always plenty
of merit to recognize, in what is Of
fered or in the spirit of the person
who offers it, if we are willing to look
for this. 1t is costly thing to say
"no" without hurting; it takes time
and energy and character to do so.
But it is not hard to appreciate the
gain Of the effort when some one else
is saying "no" to us.

Simon Wolf H0nored
FIFTY YEARS OF MASONRY.

week by the Masonic fraternity of the
District of Columbia, the occasion be-
ing the fiftieth anniversary of his
membership in the order. The large
gathering at the Masonic Temple in
cluded many prominent Masons.
An elaborate program had been ar
ranged for the occasion, including re-
marks by speakers who told of the
high esteem in which Mr.. Wolf is held
by his Masonic friends, and of the
manner in which he has eXemplified
the tenets of Masonry in his life. Mr..
Wolf was presented with IL map OF
Jerusalem as it existed at the time of
Herod, as II memento of the occasion.
A large number of letters from prom
inent Masons of the District were
read, expressing the esteem in which
they held the guest of the evening.
Mr.. Wolf responded as follows:
Fifty years have gone into history
since l saw the light of Free Ma
sonry, In the life of nation it is
comparatively trifling. in that of an
individual it practically comprises ex-
istence. | know of no period in his
v
events as those that have spanned
from 1857 to the present day.
1t was just one year prior to the
celebrated debates between Lincoln
and Douglas. which brought about the
election of the great martyr President
of the Civil War. the emancipation of
the slaves. the reunification of the
states and the subsequent happiness
and uErivaled prosperity enjoyed by
the American people. a comparative
small power. they had but little to say
in the worlds affairs; we have since
become recognized as one of the i'm
portant links in the great interna-
tional chain of human endeavor, and
today we are counted in the first
class, and our Presidents bring peace
between nations. and our moral in
stinct brings happiness to Cuba and
eliminates from our shores the last
vestige of Spanish rule. In the do
main of science and invention, no pc
riod of the worlds history has seen
greater strides. The oceans have been
belted with electricity and wireless

PROGRESS AND EDUCATION.
''The second empire of France
crumbled away and the new republic,
constituted on American principles,
has shown the world that progress
and education have destroyed fanat-
icism and autocracy. Germany, for
centuries disintegrated and discord-
ant, has been united into one nation
of homogeneous, intelligent and edu-
Gated people, a conservatOr for the
worlds peace. Our navy, which had
practically disappeared from all the
seas, is now sailing in every direction,
bringing to the oppressed the mes
sage of liberty-loving people, and
spreading the handicraft of American
industry in all directions. In short,
humanity has progressed and shown a
tendency for betterment and helpful
ness, and, therefore, it is not strange

the lines for which the order has been
the symbol and the example. No in
stitutiOn conceived by man has ever
contributed more to reconciling diff.
ferences and bringing into closer
touch all the divergent interests of
humanity than the Masonic frater-
nifty. There is nothing in its cOnstruc-
ton. in it's teachings and in its eXem
plificatiOn that disturbs the thought
or belief of any individual; on the
contrary, it is the means of reconcil-
iation and assimilation. 1t cements
it is constructive instead of de-
structive. 1t is upbuilding and
teaches man love of his fellow man.
An organization so virile must live
and continue its useful work. to the
end of destroying prejudice and ig-
nOrance, and make the whole world Il
temple of beauty, wisdom and peace.
LIVING UP TO TRADITIONS.
Il have in the fifty years of my
Masonic life, in an humble way, aimed
to live up to all the traditions and
teachings of our great organization,
and whether at home or abroad have
given evidence of my fealty to the
teachings, and my most devoted ex-
ample to its exemplifcation. My in
tercourse with my fellow members
in this city and in other localities has
always been of the most pleasant,
courteous and considerate character,
and it is to me the source of the deep
est and keenest qualification to know
that this feeling OF mine for You is
heartily and sincerely reciprocated by
you.
''To the members of Lafayette
lodge. with whom have been affiliated
ever since my residence in this city.
| return my heartfelt thanks and
profound acknowledgement for this
manifestation of their good will. In
the hope that this splendid lodge may
continue to grow not only numerically
but intellectually and Masonically.
The past is secure, the present as
sured; of the future there can be 10
reasonable doubt. for in that future
there lies imbedded all the hopes of
mankind. to the end that men OF all
faiths and all nationalities can stand
on a common platform equal and free.

KALAKAUA'S LAND
PURCHASE OUTLAUED

| Kapiolani Estate. Ltd, had its man
damus suit against the Territory of
Hawaii thrown out of court yesterday.
but may carry it to the Supreme Court.
The suit was to compel the Commits
sioner of Public Lands to issue a land
knocked down to the late King Kala-
kaua, and the Commissioner was serv-
ed with a subpoena duces tecum COM
handing him to bring into court the
book of records of land sales when L.
Ahoio was Minister of the Interior,
April, 1887. Kalakaua paid Cor two
parcels but left the price of the third
in default. Now after twenty years
his successor, the Kapiolani Estate,
Ltd, demands a patent for the land,
rendering the price, trifling amount,
with interest until time of demand. c..
w. Ashford appeared for petitioner,
and F. w Milverton, Deputy Attorney
General, for the Territory
Mr.. Milverton moved to have the
writ dismissed on the ground of laches
and abandonment of bid, also for lack
of jurisdiction, on the last point ques-
tioning the sufficiency of the alterna-
tive writ as issued out Of the Supreme
Court. Judge Robinson gave an oral
decision substantially as follows:
"MandamuS is an extraordinary legal
remedy and it is exercised by the court
only with caution and then only to aid
in the enforcement of a right which
is fixed, definite and certain, and who'll
ly established, the deprivation of which
is complained Of
In this instance tender is alleged
after twenty years. Certainly this ex-
traordinary power will not be exercised
in aid of a claimant who had permitted
his rights to rest for such a length of
time.
L am inclined to think, too, that the
motion is well taken upon the second
ground stated, that is, upon the in
sufficient character of the alternative
writ.
THE motion is granted, the alterna- |
tive writ discharged and the petitioner |
dismissed.
LET the motion be granted upon the |
first and second grounds stated"
Mr.. Ashford noted an appeal.

DAMAGE SUIT
IS KEPT ALIVE
Judge Kepoikai Sustained in One
Ruling and Reversed in
Another.

A unanimous opinion of the Supreme
Court, written by Justice Hartwell
was rendered yesterday in the damage
suit of Maria Marks Silva against In
| ter-Island Steam Navigation Co, Ltd.
on exceptions from rulings by Judge
Kepoikai of the Second Circuit Court
Maui. The exception to overruling the
demurrer is overruled, the exception to
refusing to allow the defendant to an
swer over is sustained and the defend
ant may file it's answer within ten
days. C. w. Ashford and ]. L. Coke
for plaintiff; A. Lewis Jr. and D. H.
Case for defendant.
The plaintiff sued the defendant, al
legged to be a common carrier of pas
sengers between the various ports of
the Territory, for damages resulting
from an injury received in falling from
wharf at Maalaea Bay on which the
defendant landed her at night as a
passenger on the steamer Kinau from
Honolulu for that place. 1t was de-
clared in substance that she was land
ed in a boat upon the wharf, and there
left to make her way TO the land by
herself, and that in consequence Of
their being no guides or lights on the
wharf she fell off the structure and
was injured
The defendant contended on demur-
rer that it was not liable for the con-
dition of the wharf unless it had au-
thority or control over it, but the APP
pellate court overrules that contention,
as did the court below, saying:
But whether this is to be treated
as an action of assumpsit for damages
from the defendants breach of an ex-
press contract, its control of the wharf
being then immaterial, or as founded
on the defendants violation of its duty
to take reasonable precaution to guard
against accidents when
landing them upon a public wharf, in
either case the demurrer would have
to be overruled.
But" the court says in sustaining
the other exception, 1.-THE defendant
ought to have been allowed to answer
over in conformity with our practise.
The statute, in providing that after
answer or demurrer there shall be no
further pleading, does away with re-
joinders, rebutters, etc, in making up
an issue, but does not limit the de-
tense to a demurrer or a general de-
nial''
