STEVEDORE.

Strangely exotic words are there
in the English language. A steve
dore, in Judge Willis court, has in
dignantly repudiated the term "sea
lawyer" says the London Chronicle.
The ordinary person, one fears, will
always sympathize with the school
boy who was nonplussed by the sud-
den question: GLOW many legs has
a stevedore ?" 1t is a mystery in
etymology, to most of us, how so
commonplace an occupation as the
loading and unloading Of ships came
to have so grandiose a word applied
to it. But there it is, and one must
rest content with the dictionary's as
surance that stevedore is a corrup-
ton of Spanish "estiyador" "a wool
packer) marveling, it may be, when
first the word came into acknowl-
edged use among the workers at our
docks.

THIEVES DODGE WATcHEs7

"Its a peculiar thing" said the
headquarters detective, chat with
the increase in popularity of cheap
watches the number of reports which
we have received Of watches stolen
by pickpockets has diminished great
ly. No frst-class pickpocket tries
for watches any more. The same
skill is required to get away with a
dollar watch as a hundred dollar
one. So when the dips found they
were touching well-dressed men for
limitations they gradually ceased try
ing for them. The objective points
now are stickpins, which the crooks
can appraise before trying for them,
and wallets, which they are willing
to take chance on"

A LoVEoMETER.

Science is slowly killing romance.
The latest invention is an instru-
ment called a plethysmograph, for
scientifically testing the warmth of
lovers affections. The person whose
feelings are to be weighed in the ball
ance puts his or her arm into a rub
Der bag which is then drawn tight
and filled with water. Names Of
young men or young women, as the
case may be, are introduced, and il
the name stirs the heart the pulse
rises and the indicator mounts up.
II the name leaves the subject I'M
moved the pulse remains stationary.

EASY MONEY FOR THE cURArE
Grateful Young Man Paid Fee He Felt

A sweet young thing and 4 palpi-

study and laid ten dollar note on
his desk.
''What's that for ?" said the curate.
"Your wedding Fee" said the
youth. eve were married day be-

'But 1 didn't marry YOU"
NO." said the youth, "but Jou
helped us almost as much as the
man who did. / guess you didn't
know anything about it at the time,
but you prevented interference from
two sets Of angry parents. Hints
dropped in their hearing made them
think we were going to be married
by you at four o'clock and sent them
scurrying down here to head us off.
That gave us a chance to slip away
and be married by somebody else.
For the good turn you did us please

Before the curate could protest
the couple had gone and he was left
lingering the easiest $40 that ever
had come his way.

London has discovered that with
proper training lads make better do
nestle servants than women and
housekeepers are choosing them
whenever it is possible to obtain
them. Men and boys in that city
are now employed to do all kinds Of
household work and no doubt in the

their lighter fingers, will do the fac
tory work. But if women work for

SEAMAN MAY FACE
FRAUD CHARGE
Roll Mate Of Wrecked HeIga, Be.
ing Investigated by Com
missioner Amy.

Following the statement of Capt.
Daniel t. Wall, skipper and part owner
of the wrecked barkentine Helga, that
Thomas Roll, mate of the same craft
who accused Wall of bad treatment dur
ing the mates alleged illness, had rep.
resented himself to the American consul
at Newcastle, that he was a citizen OF
the United States and to Wall that he
was a British subject, United States
Shipping Inspector Henry N. Almy has
started an investigation of the case.
Roll is said to have credentials from
two governments, and there is a like.
lihood that he will be prosecuted for
obtaining employment or other material
benefits by fraudulent means.
Wall claimed that Roll procured five
months support from the American
consul at the Australian port and upon
leaving that place he shipped with Wall
as British sailor from Newfoundland.
Eight sailors from the Helga left for
Australia on the Makura last night.
Yesterday Eric Levy, the cabin boy
from the Helga, was found by Captain
Wall to have severe cash on his fore
head. Wall had the affair reported to
the police, and the boy told Deputy
Sheriff C.. H. Rose, that two of the
sailors had assaulted him and tried to
throw him off the wharf near the naval
station.
Levy sailed on the Makura and no
warrants were issued for the two sail.

CIRCUIT COURT
CLUTTERED UP
Refusal to Try Cases Before
Judge Andrade Causes
Loss TO County.

On account Of the refusal OF several
local attorneys to try any cases before
District Magistrate Andrado, the cir.
cult court is being cluttered up with
minor cases which ordinarily would be
settled in the lower court, the county
is losing a large amount Of fines and
costs that should come TO il and the
Territory is being put to large extra
expense.
Several lawyers make practise of
demanding jury trials whenever they
have to appear before Judge Andrade.
AS Andrade can not refuse, the cases
60 up to the circuit court. It is said
that there are now about sixty such
cases pending before Judge Cooper.
When fines and costs are imposed in
the district court, half the proceeds 90
to the county, But when the same
cases are tried before a jury in the
circuit court, the fines and costs 90 to
the Territory and the county gets moth.
ing.
Moreover, it costs a great deal more
to try case before a jury in the circuit
court. Jurymen are paid SO day each,
and even if a case last but one day
the jury fees amount to $50, not to
speak of other extra expenses And
some of the minor cases which are car
ried to the circuit court because the
attorneys are loath to allow District
Judge Andrade to pass upon the law
and the evidence may last for several
days, costing the Territory several hun
dred dollars, perhaps, and netting the
county nothing.
This practise, if adhered TO, will con-
siderably cut down the county's income
and may necessitate retrenchment along
lines of improvements now planned. 1t
is expected that before long the supreme
court will be compelled to take notice
of the situation that now exists, and
the higher tribunal may feel called upon
to take some action.
In connection with the complaint of
Claudius McBryde, Judge Andrade said
yesterday in response to a question:
"Mr. McBryde has never appeared
in this court as an attorney in any case,
and is therefore hardly called upon to
voice any sentiment of ill.treatment. I
believe he has appeared twice as a de-
PENDANT in civil suits, where he was
being sued for some small amount, and
once was on trial for running over
man.
Mr.. Mcbride, however, is at present
appearing as attorney for Lieutenant
Burchfeld, the marine officer accused of
threatening to shoot up Waikiki. The
case is set for next Wednesday morn
ing, after several postponements, and
Mr.. Mcbride will then have chance
to learn at first hand the competency or
incompetency of the police Judge.

here to Puma, Olaa and other nearby
points, and then going through Hama.
kua and on to Kohala. 1t is Thought
the itinerary can be covered in a week
and that the Delegate will be able to
stir up some enthusiasm among the Re.
publicans.
All tho present county officials will
be renominated without doubt. There
will not be any Republican opposition
to Mcguire for auditor, but an effort
will be made to urge Rev. s. L. Desha
to run. for treasurer. Mr.. Desha has
publicly announced his withdrawal from
politics but it is felt that he will be
ready to answer the Delegate g call as
speaker. Without doubt he is the
most forceful Hawaiian speaker ON the
Republican side, and his oratory would
be greatly missed in the campaign.
Candidates for the legislature are
particularly backward in coming for.
ward, especially for the senate. The
name of Carl Smith, the Republican
campaign manager, is probably moro
often mentioned as good senate material
than that of any other public man. Mr..
Smith, If asked to run, would probably
feel it his duty to give an Affirmative
reply. He has served one term in the
house, when thu county bill was pre-
pared, and would be n good man to
frame any amendments, rs he has been
particularly interested in the working
of the law and was for a time the dep
uty in the county attorneys office. His
name has not been formally considered
