INCIDENTS Of THE DAY
IN THE POLICE COURT

Spurning the example set by the
Father of his Country in his tree chop
ping incident, Mrs. Apio appeared be-
fore Judge Andrade yesterday and de-
MED having anything to do with the
manner in which John Kahilahila S
guava tree came to its death. Mrs.
Apio is charged with malicious injury
and viii present her defense on Friday
next.
Domingo TOwse was the plaintiff in a
case of. assault and battery against c.
Smith, the alleged assault having oc-
CURED aboard the steamer Mauna LOa.
Towse testified that he had been en-
gagged in ga fair fist fight" in the
course of which a spectator named
Davis kicked him in the nose and his
adversary Smith, taking unfair advan-
tage of the depression, bit him on the
face. 1t being far from clear from the
evidence who the aggressOr in the fight
had been and the teeth marks on the
cheek exhibited looking remarkably like
fngernail scratches, the magistrate dis
charged the defendant.
After Jack Kalakiela had testified
to the effect that he was Chief of De-
tectives and had knowledge of the
habits of George Kauahi, stating: 81
saw him doing nothing at all for the
past month";" the aforesaid George was
held as a vagrant.
Joe Fagero told a pitiful tale to the
court He had been found wearing
pair of duck trousers with another
mans name on the waistband and was
also possessed of fancy hatband that
belonged to j. R. Wallwork, a Young
Hotel elevator boy, and appeared eharg-
ed with larceny in the second degree.
In explanation he stated that a week
ago Saturday he had been consumed
with a desire to call on his fancee in
Palama, the consummation of the de-
sire being frustrated from the sad fact
that he only owned one pair of trousers
and they were in sad need of laundry
ing. To go calling with trousers that
bore the marks of the days toll on
a bootblack stand was not to be thought
off while to go without them was an
obvious impossibility. This predica-
ment he eonfided to a friend in need,
who straightway took him to Wall
work s room at the Young and babe
him help himself to what raiment he
required. Accordingly he donned one
pair of duck trousers, put two pairs
more under his arm, garlanded his hat
with a fancy leather lei and went
a-wooing. The idea of stealing had
never occurred to him.
Judge Andrade, repeating the proverb
that love laughs at locksmiths, an
nouneed that it would have a chance
to laugh at those at the reform school
for the coming six months.
All Yam, hunchback bootblack, who |
pinehed a gold eagle from waiting
carriage on Tuesday will have his case
attended to this morning.

MADAME CAROLINE M. SEVERANCE

dren. Do these brethren not know the
same unmerciful feature prevailed
when Ezra by Gods direction required
men Of Israel to abandon their heather
wives Ind children? Does not this
same cruelty appear when the civil law
sends q criminal to the penitentiary
or to the gallows, tearing him away
from helpless wife and dependent
children? And yet we say this is right
Right is right, even if it does Incl
dentally lead to much suffering of wom-
en- and children.
why did our Savior inject so much
cruelty in his religion when he laid
down the rule that his disciple must
deny himself and take up his cross
and follow the Master-knowing in
many instances this would involve the
loss OF earthly goods and snap asunder
the tenderest human ties. besides the
endurance of most cruel sufferings OF
the body? Why did not he and his
church lean to mercy'S side and allow
church members to suppress their con-
sciences, and outwardly to deny Christ
before men while in their hearts they
claimed to love him? 1t would be far
better for the church to contribute
funds to aid abandoned wives and pro-
vide orphans homes for the care and
training of their children, if need be,
rather than receive a man into the
church membership while he still
cleaves to his plural wives. Is it not
notorious that the Mormons justify
themselves for not obeying the anti
polygamy laws because of the cruelty
involved in their putting away all
their wives and children except one
wife and her children? And shall the
Presbyterian church in this enlightened d
age fall into the use of same argu-
ment to justify herself in unduly
multiplying converts?'
'.Modernists agree as to their point
of departure' as to the general method
and way; but their goal is below the
horizon, their rate of advance unequal,
their courses by no means parallel
Hence not one of them will subscribe
to all the positions of his fellow-mod
ernists; still less will he accept the
compact system fathered on him by
the encyclical Not one of them would
die for the modernist Interpretation of
Catholicism which it condemns. What,
then, are the prospects of modernism ?
Plainly things are at a deadlock. There
is everywhere and at all times blend
ing of separate types of religious faith
until a notable crisis brings men sud
denly face to face with the necessity
of choice
"Once more, it must not be forgot
ten (to put it crudely) that those who
lay for the piper will call for the tune.
Modern conditions make the ecclesias-
tical body more and more dependent
on the purse Of the harmless but
necessary layman, so numerically
pulverized by the encyclical. 1t is
equally plain that, whatever little tenn
porary success methods of police may
have in protecting the seminarian from
the knowledge of awkward facts, they
will have none at all with the layfolk
of modernized countries. That the
medieval Interpretation of Catholi-
cism is doomed is far more evident than
that the various efforts of modernism
to find reinterpretation will be sue
cessful.'
