ton propounded by the defense upon

forms of insanity ranging from or
binary melancholia TO the rawlings OF a
hopeless lunatic were discussed.
Maniac Oppressive insanity, the
aIienist explained, was a form of stu
porous meiancholia. subject to violent
Ynaniacal outbursts,' s8ich as Hams is
alleged TO have experienced when he

COOPfR'S PROPHECY
SEEMS BORNE OUT
San Franciscans Are Being
Converted to His Theories
and Medicines
Statement by Local Matron on
Wednesday Is Very
Convincing

L. T. Cooper is meeting with the
same success. in San Francisco AS in
other cities. For the past few days the
Owl Drug Store, in the Phelan build
ms, where the young man is making
his headquarters during his stay, has
been decided center Of interest.
The preparation that has made
Cooper famous in the east, and which
he has come here to introduce, seems
to be producing the same results here
as elsewhere, and cooper's statement
to the effect that before he left San
Francisco thousands would thank him
for what his medicine has done is rap
idly being verified.
On Wednesday many of Coopers call
ers were%peopie who have been trying
his preparation. These people were
distinctly grateful. and many of their
statements were remarkable. Judging
from what they had to say. Coopers
claim that most sickness is due TO
stomach trouble is largely borne out.
One of the most unusual statements
was made by Mrs Il. Martens, whose
home is at 1857 Golden Gate avenue.
Mrs. Martens said: Il have been SUI

the Way toWoman S Heart

1T takes woman to appreciate the little
courtesies When milady goes shopping
- she longs to make her purchases or view the
modes in an atmosphere of subdued efficiency,
with ample forethought taken to meet her
slightest whim
In the new MAGNIN store at Grant avenue
and Geary street, to be thrown open to the
women of San Francisco and surrounding cities
at a reception Saturday night, the comfort and
elegant simplicity SO dear to the feminine heart
have been brought to perfection. Throughout, the
entire establishment was designed solely to please
women All of the little ideas that have met
favor in all parts of the world have been moulded
into a perfect whole
On all of the four spacious floors of the
handsome new building the design has been to
give widest scope to the daylight and the effect
of single room. With nothing but women's
and children's apparel in the entire building it
possible to do away with ordinary showcases.
Boxes to hold goods were banshed. Every article
in the store will be kept in dust-proof cases with
glass fronts, open instant Inspection that each
customer may see samples OF garments without
overcrowdng of counters A little thing to be
sure, but great step forward in convenience.
Everywhere are mirrors In all sections of
the big, roomy store they set at varying angles
in the dark red mahogany fixtures. The building
fronts on two streets and the daylight penetrates
every nook and corner of the store. There are
more than thirty large dressing rooms with wide,
double mirrors at conflicting angles giving
myriad reflections.
In the millinery and fine gown corner is
room designed to reproduce the exact effect of an
artificially lighted ballroom 1t paneled in light
absorbing gray tones with numerous plate mirrors
The Louis XVI cozy room will be delight
to the lover of artistic perfection in furniture The
walls will be in French gray silk tapestry, carpet in
gobelin blue and fixtures in cut glass There will
be dainty Marie Antoinette desks with telephones

BREWERY To PAY
one PER CENT

1t is now generally understood that
a dividend of one per cent will be paid
by the Honolulu Brewery stock start
ing in about July 1. AS was told in
The Star some ten days ago, a large
surplus has been accumulated by the
brewery and it was thought at first
that this would be divided through the
medium of an extra dividend, but the
impression now is that the regular
dividend will be raised The surplus
mentioned, it is said, has been accu-
mulated since the first of the year.
The coming of the Federal cavalry
and marines to this city has caused
great increase in the consumption of
beer locally, which has meant that the
brewery has struck good times. In adj
dition to this there have been no extra
expenses during the past few months
which have enabled a neat surplus to
be placed to one side.

THE BAND QUESTION

A sensible and impartial view of
the band question from Paul de Long
pre-, who may become soon citizen Of
Honolulu.
EDITOR STAR:-Since over one
month that | have been here enjoying
life and good health, hear on every
side from rich and poor alike that it
is greatly depiored that the famous
Royal Hawaiian Band should have
been reduced to such a small size.
All know that music is the greatest
proof of culture, and any one who
reads newspapers, will find out that
in all great civilized centers, there is
spent now, for music two or three
times more money than was spent
ten or fifteen years ago; that Homo
lulu, on that so important matter,
should be the one city in the world
going backwards is very difficult to
understand.
If Honolulu, the Paradise Of the Pa
cific, has only one artistic attraction
to offer to its people and its crowds
of tourists it should be a first class
one. .''s"
All who admired and enthusiastical-
ly applauded the Royal Hawaiian
Band at the Greek amphitheatre,
Oakland, and for weeks at the Port
land worlds fair, said that it was the
greatest and highest kind of adver-
tlsement Honolulu ever had!
The so unpopular scheme of reduc-
ing the Royal Hawaiian Band to the
size of a European village band. is
beyond my comprehension.
The city may save few dollars.
in doing so, but it is a poor and mis-
erly compensation when COMPARED
with the great loss inflicted to it's for
mer prestige.

and its ideal climate.
