QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.

An interesting point of law was
brought before Judge Robinson yester
day in plea to the jurisdiction in the
case of Maximiana Brilliante, indicted
for assaulting Ben Guerrero by shoot
ing at him on the barkentine Irmgard
some weeks ago. The plea to the jul
risdiction is based on the claim that
the assault, having been committed on
the Irmgard in Honolulu harbor, is
only triable, if at all, under Section
5346 of the Revised Statutes of the
United States.
The plea was argued by Judge
Quarles on behalf of the defendant and
by F. W. Milverton on behalf of the
Territory. Judge Robinson overruled
the plea, as well as a demurrer, and
the defendant was given until today in
which to plead.

ELECTRICITY AS LIFE REsroRER

a weird story is told today by NJ de
Larmandie, a member of the Frencn
Authors society.
M. de Larmandie declares that three
doctors of his acquaintance-doc
whose names, he says, are famous in
the scientific world and whose vera CITY

ca recently in bringing the dead body
of young girl to life
The girl died in a hospital. and had
been dead for three hours. The doc
tors affirm that she was dead. They
worked at the body for three hours
electrified it, kneaded il in tepid wa
ter, burnt its with sulphuric acid
brought it to a semblance of life and
made it speak
According to NJ. de Larmandie. this
Is what the dead girl said: Il fell
asleep last night at the hospital in a
very weak condition. The priest had
given me absOlution, and as | eel
asleep felt that / was dying. Gradual
ly l seemed to waken slightly. and
felt bitterly cold. All my life seemed
to ebb into my heart, and my mind
seemed to have got away into a far-off
corner of my brain. Then nv mind
seemed to get away from my body,
saw my body lying pale and inert, and
although l had left it | knew that il
was icy cold.
Then I heard something like the
sound of a distant organ. Suddenly
something broke my mind away from
my body. 1t was like an infinitesimal
electric spark. / cannot describe it,
Then my body became the battlefield
of an army of monsters who were fight
ing for it. / cannot explain what /

NJ. de Larmandie says that the girl
was in such a state of excitement when
she was awakened that the doctors
gave her morphia to calm her. They
gave her too much, and she died a sec
ond time.

HOndOn Tit-Ritsl

1t was the convinced and oft-pro-
nOunced opinion of the late Duke of
Beaufort that the successful breeding
horses was more or less a lottery.
When his lordship reiterated that opin-
ion to men who had dabbled in horses
all their lives it seemed to bear con-
siderable weight, and could not be con-
troverted upon the facts which the
duke himself subsequently adduced.
In every branch of horse-breeding
luck has played a prominent part. That
is undeniable; but good judgment and
wise selection have also had deal to
do with the success which has at
tended the efforts of some of the most
prominent raisers of horses. be they

ENeLAND's TARIFF AGITATION.

Lord Curzon, now one of Ireland S
representative peers, whose career has
peculiar interest to Americans from
the fact that he married an American
girl, Miss Letter of Chicago, has within
the past few days reappeared in poll
ties after a silence of ten years. Lord
Curzon presided at a political meeting
and made a speech, in which he defined
his attitude toward some of the prin-
cipal questions that are being cOnsid-
cred by the United Kingdom. Lord
Curzon, who has been vicerOy of India,
has Joined the tariff reform majority
of the Unionist party. This majority
accepts departure from free trade in
the flexible form advocated by Mr.. Bal
four rather than on the hard and fast
lines laid down by Joseph Chamber
lain. Lord CuTzon is regarded as the
most valuable recruit, next to Mr.. Bal
four, yet made by the protectionists.
In a recent issue the New York Sun
summarizes the reasons given by Cur
zon for taking up this position, and as
serts that they constitute the strongest
argument for Britain's announcement
of free trade.
He did not envy, he said. either the
common sense or political foresight of
those men who asserted that no
change whatever in Britain's fiscal pol
icy was likely to come or was even TO
be desired. To his mind a change of
some sort was not only necessary, but
inevitable in view of modified economic
conditions. It might be, he admitted,
that the fiscal change, when it did
come, would not take precisely the
shape anticipated by the author of the
tariff reform movement. For his own
part, he never felt, Lord Curzon added.
that he possessed sufficient knowledge

precise manner in which England
should reconcile her political and eco
nomic interests with those of her col
onies or in which she should deal with
the case of India, a country the finan-
clal stability of which depended on the
excess of exports over imports, and one
that conceivably might suffer more
from retaliation than II would gain
from preference. If India, however,
struck a note of caution on the fiscal
question it also, i'm his opinion, pro-
yided an example of which he was sur
prised that more had not been made.

used to be filled with the works Of
Dickens and Scott are now stocked
with pamphlets on health and diges-
ton.
People have an idea that meat is

fathers ate roast beef and turned out
to be twice as splendid specimens as
their sons counts for nothing.
mo medical man is foolish enough
to recommend a large quantity of
meat, but il is a pitiful mistake to see
young people starving themselves on
starches and sugars because they are
afraid of roast beef
we find that a number of our Gus
toners ask for roast beef at lunch"
said NJ. ROuX, who is in charge of the
catering department at Princes restau-
rant. AT dinner, however, it is
hardly ever ordered. There is no doubt
that the tendency is to revert to plain
food. Eight out of ten of our clients
say, Give US a nice plain dinner with
out sauces.
"One reason that may account for
the unpOpularity of roast beef at res
taurants is because people can have
joints at home, and expect something
prettier to look at when they dine in
public"

Notable Bargains in Horses

owners absence.
Within recent years many notable

have been won by horses which can be
described as Job lots or can be said
to have been sold at sale prices. Oc-

Oaks and the sum of e4,5S7 in her two

What some good critics consider the
mightiest horse ever seen on the turf
Eclipse, was once bought for forty-six
guineas. If he had been put up for sale
in these days he would have fetched as
many thousand guineas. Little Wonder,
another derby winner, was sold for six

E. Blanc for &39,375, was descended
from a fiddle-headed Irish mare valued

priest who had a fOndness for dabbling
in horseflesh. 1t was from this same
mare that the unbeaten Ormonde came
in descent, and truly the saying that
all great things have small beginnings
was never better exemplified than in
the case of this old ego mare, whose off

He pointed out that during the last two
they had come into power on the free
trade issue, had not shown any tend
ency TO upset the tariff in India. They
had recognized, he said, that in India
a tariff was Indispensable, and he be-
lieved that the British people would be
driven to the same conclusion in their
own case as we'll if they were to re-
deem the vast commitments TO expen-
diture for which the radical party now
in office is responsible.
The Sun comments on the fact that
Lord Curzon in his speech carefully
avoided the term "protectionist'' when
referring to the fiscal change which he
believes to be impending, but preferred
the phrase tariff for revenue" He
could not see. however. he said. why, if
Englishmen once accepted the princi-
Pile of a tariff for revenue, they should
not be willing TO use that tariff for
strengthening the ties of imperial con-
nectiOn between the self-governing coll
onies and the mother country. Neither
could he see why they should not
utilize il to improve the position of
their trade or to secure better employ
ment for the working classes. II
seemed to him that on the lines which
Mr.. Balfour had indicated and which
met with his own approval would be
found the prospects of successful po-
litical and economic work and of fu-
ture harmony in the ranks of the
Unionist party. Lord Curzon concluded
his address with the expression OF
conviction that whatever the Unionist
party should resolve to do it should
not adopt a policy of prescription
within It's ranks. It could not afford
to estrange such men as the two sons
OF Lord Salisbury, who thus far have
shown themselves devoted to free
trade. That, in Lord Curzon's judg-
ment, would be an unthinkable thing.
Reconciliation and not reprisals should
be, he thought, the Unionist policy.

KNOWS WHEN TO QUIT.

If the silly season in politics hasn't
nit New York all the common symp-
toms of feeble-mindedness have no sig
nifcance. From day to day the metro
politan press-which, by the way. is
the most provincial press on earth
publishes stories of ROOsevelt's plans
at the national convention which read
like the nightmare of a pie-debauch.
All of these tales bring up in common
at one point, and that is the prediction
that Roosevelt is preparing to STAN
pede the convention for himself in a
desire to punish the leaders Of con-
gress who think they can ignore his
wishes because he is so soon to retire
from power.
Now Roosevelt is eTratic, as every
one knows: he is as sudden as dyna-
mite and about as violent, when he
gets into action; the man who predicts
what he will do next is always due to
lose his reputation as a prophet, but
even Roosevelt knows enough to read
signs when they are printed as big as
the signs of his waning influence are
printed in Washington. AS a premier
among politicians, he must have OBJ
served the difference between his I'M
disputed reign of a year ago and the
spirit of Instruction in his party
against him now.
No, Roosevelt, is not planning to
succeed himself and he viii probably
count himself lucky if he can name
Taft as his successor. If the revolt
against RoOseYeltism in the Republi-
can party had six months more to grow
before the convention meets, Taft
would be wondering what had hit him:
as il is, unless he is nominated on the
first or second ballot, he will have the
fight of his life to pull through to sue
cess at all.

FACTS ABOUT PHARAOH.

A learned German scientist finds that
the Pharaoh who refused to let Moses
and his compatriots leave Egypt had
the govt and toothache. His name was
.Menephtah He was feet SIa inches
tall. and died in 1215 B. c, at the age
of so. He was a high liver, fat and
bald-from which it might be inferred
that he was a very bad man, taking
the best seat at the table as we'll as
the front seat at the theatre. The
chalky degeneration of his organs indi-
Gates govt, and cavities in his teeth
show he had tOOthache. A man in his
fix is seldom amiable, and his refusal
to let the Children of Israel go is not
surprising. He was cross and must
have made life burden for his fam
lily. Had his health been better and
his blood vessels less chalky he might
have given Moses a hearty send-off and
have even loaned him his auto. Who
