INTERESTING REPORT

Police officer J. K. Manase is not
only one Of the most energetic officers
on the local police force. but he puts
a part of his vim into the official re-
ports he turns in of the doings along
his beat Last night he wrote the fol-
lowing graphic description of a do
mestic quarrel in which he was called
to interfere. predating the report for
this morning. He said:
Yesterday evening, May 49, '0S,
Mary's husband. Edward Genet, got
home with drunkard condition and
he brought a bottle of wine for the
supper. Mary prepared the meal and
they set down on their chairs. Ed
ward Genet then opened the wine bot
tie and drank some of it. Then he
passed the bottle to his wife and beg
her to drink which she absolutely re-
fused. The same time she remarked
to her husband Edward you must not
urge me to drink that wine. You
know that you had already drink and
if | followed suit we will have sure
fight Edward suddenly passed out
some vulgar sentences (Which are here
onitted). Drink that wine demand
ed Edward No said Mary. Then
Edward slapped at her right face and
he was not satisfied with that; he
grabbed his wife and tried - throw
her out from the dining-rOo.4- She
held her hands firmly on her husband s
arms which made her free. Time and
again Edward continued his demands
and at last he kicked his wjfe's left

in an unhappy life, said Mary This
is her testimony according 10 my mem
ory Today Mary win come and swear

DETECTIVES START
A WALKING CLUB

The detective force wandered around
in the swamps and taro patches of the
Asylum road district last night after
Lopez, the man who is supposed to be
dead. After having secuted in the
damp for about an hour the detectives
came back without the escaped bandit.
Word had been brought to the police
station by a young man, very much
out of breath, who stated that he had
seen the outlaw and had left him SIT
ting on a fence surrounded by nearly
all the residents of the Asylum road
section, the fence in question being
near banana patch and the property
of a Chinaman. He was sure, almost,
that it was Lopez, sure enough to
cause scurrying around among the
specials and a hurry-up order for
hacks to get them to the place where
their man was sitting surrounded on
a fence
living thing that greeted them was a
small poi dog. and the guide had an
uncomfortable quarter of an hour try
ing to tell where all the people and the
outlaw had disappeared to. He did.
however. take the detectives to place
where Lopez had eaten dinner last
Sunday, pointing out the very spot on
the ground where the Porto Rican had
sat, to prove his story.

MISS DOROTHEA Al

DR.. Mckenzie. Hon. Z. r. Bishop, DR..

\. Castle, Prof. F. A. Hosmer and
others, until at the present time there
are some 5000 volumes in the collec-
ton, two endowments, one conveyed
by the will of the late DR.. s. E. Damon
and the other given by Miss Beatrice
Castle, helping the purchasing of books
and the maintenance. of the institu-
ton.
Here endeth the history of the old
library" concluded DR.. Alexander,
"and with it perhaps the task assigned
me- But l can not refrain from add
ing a few words on the new library,
which has been launched by the gem
Cooke, who advanced the sum of $4,000
last year for the purchase of new
books. This has been wisely expended
in the purchase of the choicest books
relating to each department of the in
struction given in the college. 1t is
but Just to mention here the valuable
service rendered by Miss Graydon, who
did not spare time and thought and
labor in the selection of these books,
which was for her a labor of love.
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS
The value of the library for the stu
dents of Punahou and the duty of the
members of the alumni towards aiding
in the support of the institution were
spoken of by Judge Antonio Perry,
who reminded the students that by
strengthening the library by their
visits and the consulta tiOn of the books
of learning to be found there they
would be strengthening themselves.
The library would be of benefit only as
it was used. 1t would be there as an
aid to the students, but the students
must go TO it.
He reminded the members of the
alumni that the college was not self
supporting, the last financial state
ment having shown that the expense
of maintenance overbalanced the total
income by several thousand dollars
last year 1t was not to be expected
that the library could be maintained

SNEAK THIEF CAUGHT
IN KUKUI COTTAGE

J. w. Vannatta caught sneak thief
red-handed last night, the man having
gone into his room evidently just a
few minutes before Vannatta himself
tried to get in-tried, because the door
was locked on the inside. He went
around to the window and entered,
finding the intruder hiding behind a
bookcase with a bundle of clothes in
his hand. He marched the man down
to the police station and turned him
over to the authorities. Vannatta
rooms with John K Motley, at 265
Kukui street.
At the police station the man was
recognized as Akana, a regular Chinese
vagrant, suspected of being crazy.
During the past week he has made
several visits to the police station and
attempted to give himself up, stating
that he was a bad criminal and ought
to go to jail. The police have had
trouble so far in keeping him out, but
had no excuse not to lock him up
last night.

Acting on the advice of our friends
in Congress, we have refrained from
pressing this bill during the tendency
of the mail subsidy measure as it was
known that if we did press it, all the
supporters of the shipping interests
would be arraved against it.
At the present time, the Democratic
flibuster totally prohibits the consid-
Grafton of any bill by unanimous con-
sent. The only other means by which
such bill as this can be gotten up
for vote is under suspension of the
rules; this latter requires two-thirds
majority IN order to pass bill, and |
am not at present willing to risk de-
feat by one-third vote against my
bill.

Crab Has 100000 Joints,

The crab known as the scale-tailed apus was believed to have become ex- tnct In Great Britain 50 years ago, the last recorded specimens being taken In the ponds on Hampstead Heath. But now 1t has turned up again in some numbers In two ponds on Preston Merse, near Southwick, In klrkcud- bridgeshire. About two and a half inches long, the apus bears very strik- ing likeness to that remarkable crea. ture, the king crab, and this because the fore part of the body Is covered by a great semi-circular shield, or cara. pace, while, as In the king crab, 1t swims on It's back. In the great num- Der of its legs the scale-tailcd apus has few rivals, while In the number of the joints which these share between them DO other creature can compare. The naturalist Schaffer once essayed the task of counting them and made the magnificent total of 1,SO2.6O4 Latrelle put down the number at round 2,OOO,- OOO.-London Daily Graphic.

Unless things change, and very radi- cally, the old heartrending cry. "Oh. save us from our frlends!" will have to be amended so as to read, "oh, save us from those who love usw At first blush this may seem like nonsense, but just think: Almost every morning we read of some young man killing some young woman because he loves her so. It has got to the point in some parts of the country where the fathers of marriageable young women will not permit the young men who love them to enter the house until they are searched for concealed weapons. How ever. there has always been more or less of this, so that 1t will not be worth while to worry over 1t But we should take some cognlzance of the fact that the trouble Is not confined al- together to young lovers. nor does 1t always result in shooting, but some times manifests itself In ways which are equally disagreeable and more hu initiating. Take, for instance, the man who was so fond of woman that when his admiration was at Its height when he was gazing at her with rapt en- thrallment, just at the very moment when he seemed to be given complete ly up to adoration of the one woman he loved. he gave her black eye, simply because she smiled when another man was looking. Now, this Is not good so- cial form. It Is as bad almost as that observed by the women who loved her husband so intensely as he was that when he had his hair cut by the bar Der she refused to allow him to enter his home. and has commenced suit against him for divorce She loved him, alas, not wisely but too well. But the worst example of all Is the case of another husband. He was 30 devoted to his wife that he was always anxious about the condition of her health. If she looked trife pale In the morning he would go to his work with heavy heart and be unhappy all day. He was constantly feeling her pulse and look ing at her tongue. Such solicitous
 
 neighbor's wives all used to point him out to their husbands as husband to pattern after. The other day he came home and thought that she was look ing rather poorly. She protested that she never had felt better in her life. He denied this emphatically, went down to the drug store, bought some pills which he believed would do her good. and, returning, attempted to force her to take them. She resisted, and so fearful was he that she should be sick and suffer pain that he lost his temper and threw her down flight of stairs. It Is a wonder that she escaped with only slight injuries. Now, when those who love us and are anxious about us, and solicltous with regard to us, and admire us, and would do anything for us, do these things to us, what are we to expect from those who do not care anything about us? Really, It Is hard to say.

their best blood into Oklahoma to give 1t cosmopolitan life, and, no matter where you are from, if you travel with in its borders you will find your own people. Spots that were grassy prairles are hustllng towns to-day yes terday's towns are cities now.
 Up-to-dateness seems to be the watch word of Oklahoma's people in the rural districts as we'll as in the populous cities. Every farmer has his windmill, gasolene engine or mechanical water power for supplying his house and out buildings, and many own automobiles. Telephones bring them into close con- munication with the towns, and the rural free delivery bears daily mall to their doors. Oklahoma can raise any thing which grows between the Cana dian border and Florida and Texas. The cotton yield to the acre Is greater than that in any other State or Terri tory in the Union.

Twas fin Tater Time.

The late Senator Platt of Connecticut enjoyed funny stories and could tell a good many himself. Notwithstanding his long public life, be always remem- bered a yarn that he carried from his school days
 One year when the district schools opened in his town one of the teachers in making a record of the ages of her pupils, as required by law, found that one little girl, who came from C family not noted for being especially bright, was unable to say when her birthday came.
 So In order to complete her records the teacher walked two miles to see the girls mother one afternoon after school. Asked If she could remember just when her daughter was born, the woman thought for some little time and then, with a sort of puzzled look, said:

The new State of Oklahoma is the richest and most promising ever ad- mitted to the American Union. She has half as many people as all the thirteen original States combined when they achieved their independence. By ac- tual count of noses she has six times the population of any other State ever received at the time of admission into the Union. She has fifty times the amount of wealth that could be claimed by any of her predecessors at the be- ginning of their State life, and has, what not one of them could show, all the arts and sciences, the improvements and progress that go to make a highly civilized commonwealth, from wireless telegraphy to the skyscraper, from the telephone to chemical farming. More than million and half persons claim the new State as theirs, and 1t will not be long after the census is taken in 1910 before the ,OO0,OO0-mark will be passed. All the old States have sent

Why scotIand,s Soil Is Thin.

 "Confound Scotland!" shouted the exasperated golfer, flnging down his club In a rage. Its just what Dr. Johnson described it-'stone, water and a little earth"
 "Sae the docther said that, did her" inquired the caddle.
 He did, and he was a very wise man. let me tell you," snapped the En. gllshman.
 "I believe ye," retorted the caddIe. Nae doot the docther was a verra wise man, for there Is muckle O stane an waiter in Scotland-oor mountains an lochs that ye come sac far tae see, an It's a sair truth that the soil Is no verra deep.
