LUCCHENI ENDS
HIS MISERY
Empress EIizabeth's Slayer Com
PEELED to Be Silent During
Long Sentence.

/. GENEVA, Switzerland, October 20.-I
Luigi Luccheni,, who assassinated the
Empress Elizabeth of Austria, commit
ted suicide yesterday by hanging, while
insane. The fate of Luecheni was not
altogether unlocked for, for his punish
mont was the most terrible that could
be conceived. He was sentenced to
total silence. He was not permitted to
pose as a. martyr, but was condemned
to be shut up, put to work and forbid
den to talk. For the first five years
he was confined in his cell and per.
formed the labor assigned to him. After
that he had the privilege of going to
work among the prisoners about him,
but should he speak to any of them his
punishment was changed to solitary
confinement. There was no pampering,
and he has not been permitted to talk,
smoke or read, and has not been appris-
ed of what has been going on in the
world. He has been served no wine,
spirits or beer. The prison guards have
taken turns in watching his cell and
he has been given no chance to obtain
special privileges. No one has been
allowed to see him and no communica-
tion whatever has been permitted from
friends or relatives.
Luccheni has been confined in the
cantonial penitentiary of Geneya-the
Eveche-whieh is n gloomy. gray build
| ing hard by the famous old cathedral
church of st. Pierre. Prisoners who
have undergone this sort of punishment
for four or five years have begged to
be killed. There is absolutely no hope
for such prisoners, and the punishment
was designed to render Luccheni insane.
Luceheni was a ceaseless talker and as
an anarchist was prominent. The sem
tenee was particularly hard to Luccheni
owing to his gift of conversation. The
statement given to the world that he
died insane, was not unexpected as the
sentence meant that he should lose his
reason.
The Empress Elizabeth was the wife
of Emperor Francis Joseph, woman
of splendid character, and was cut down
while visiting in Switzerland. A statue
to the memory Of the empress was un.
yelled IN Territet. The position of the
statue Is fraught with sad memories,
since II was from this spot that the
Empress embarked for Geneva on her
fatal journey. The poise of the figure

The ninetyfourth anniversary of the
birth of Mrs Mary s. Rice familiarly
known here as mother Rice, - the
venerable mother of Hon. W. H. Rice,
Mrs. G. NJ. Cooke, and Mrs. Colonel
Delavergne, was celebrated at the
home of Mrs. Hans Isenberg, one of
her granddaughters, in Lihue, last
Tuesday, October 18th, amidst throng
of her loving children, grandchildren,
and great grandchildren, and other
friends and relatives, reports the Gar

look upon her with great deal Of love
and reverence, who called soon after
breakfast and greeted her with many
alohas,' and sang number of well
known hymns for her, to which she
listened with the greatest interest.
On account of her age and naturally
feeble condition, she was not able to
greet the large number of other friends
and admirers who would have liked to
have come, and many of them sent
flowers to express their regard, great
masses of which were outspread on the
large diningroom table, sharing their
beauty and fragrance with all who
came. no.
All the members of her immediate
family, and also several others of her
close friends, called in the afternoon
to pay their respects and bring their
gifts of flowers and other remem-
ORANGES, and for several hours she was
kept busy greeting them and receiving
their good wishes. At an early hour
she retired, as has been her custom
of late, expressing great pleasure in
the happy day she had spent, and seem
ing in the best of good spirits.

His CIothina Essay.

Here is an extract from an essay
written by a boy in a London
school: "Clothing is an article
which everybody should wear. The
least of this article is worn by saw
ages OF natives, which is a piece of
cloth or a few leaves or feathers
around the waist. In cold countries,
same as Eskimos, the people wear
more clothes than we do, count Of
the icy cold out there. They can
skate all the year round, except
about one thaw there is in summer.
If they walked about like natives
they would catch cold directly and
die Of bronkitis. We put clothes on
which are nearly like our bodies.
Some have caps, coats and trousers,
but women and girls wear hats and
frocks to tell who they are"

TRAPPING big CATS"
Easiest Victims Of the Wild Animsl

Easiest Victims OF the Wild Aninsl
Trappsr the Most Feroeious.
Strpuge as it may seem. the
easiest victims of the wild animal
truppcr are the most ferocious-
those bloodthirsty huge cats. the
lion and tiger, and those other
beautiful felines, the panther, the
leopard and the iaguar
With the lion, for instance, it is
simply a matter of stealing the
cubs. But kidnapping her whelps
from a dangerous beast like lion
ess is, of course, IN exciting prob
lem.
In the heart Of the darkest, most
impenetrable thicket. in the midst
of tangle of vine and thorn and
creeper, the lion mother has with
her from four to six cubs-golden
Notwithstanding over one an
other, scrambling over the great
yellow body of the majestic crea-
ture which none on earth save these
defenseless kittens may go near.
Not in the wild world, it would
seem, was a home better protected.
Yet out of a thicket well to lee
ward the trapper's eyes are bent
upon the lion home, for once in
every twenty-four hours nature her
self renders these babies defense
less, when the mother, stirred by
the pangs Of hunger, ventures forth
to hunt and to eat.
Beside the trapper is a pair of
Kallirs armed with nets made of
stout cords. In the trapper's hand
is a rifle loaded with a slug of lead
as big as little finger. The slight
est swapping of twig and the dan
gerous brute comes to the attack
hcadlong like a yellow streak, or if
she cannot locate the danger she
picks up her cubs one by one by
the neck, bounding away with them
in ten foot springs and hiding them
in a tangle even more dense than
the other.
For hours the trapper must lie,
nerves on edge, before the mother
quits her lair to strike down a buck
or a water buffalo. Then cautious
ly, with rife ready, the trapper
presses forward and into the un-
guarded lion home.
Quickly the men must work.
Should the lioness return unex-
pcctedly nothing but a bullet well
and quickly aimed could save them.
Capturing cubs is, however, only
one of three methods which the
trapper uses to transfer the big fe-
lines out of the wilderness into his
cage. BY far the greater number
Of his captives are adult beasts in
the height of their prime, vigor and
ferociousness. To catch these the
trapper uses either a pitfall or
huge trap.,-A. W. Rolker in Cen

them home they take them out and
look at them occasionally with
great interest / can't imagine: but,
however it is, they do ask for them.

ROMAN JUSTICE.
How Tcchriealitics Were Avoided In
the Courts.

How Teehrieailtirs Were Avoided In
the Courts.
The bar was an open profession
in ancient Rome. The litigant en-
joyed the utmost latitude in the
choice of an advocate, whose right
to represent his client in court was
fully conceded. Slavish imitators
of the Greeks in literature and art,
the Romans asserted their entire
independence in the domain Of law.
Their innovations had the stamp of
originality. But these did not com
prise any close connection between
bar and bench. 1t is noteworthy
that during very long period in
the history Of Roman law there was
no exact counterpart of our judge.
The magistratus was public otfi-
cial charged with the administra-
tion of law. The judex was a spe-
cies Of referee appointed by the
magistrate to hear and report upon
a particular case. Then there was
an arbiter who acted alone or with
Others in arbitration cases (arbi-
tria). Finally there we're recupera-
tors who assisted in international
questions.
The hearing before these various
types of judex was called the judi
cum. as distinguished from jus, the
hearing before the magistrates
properly so called. The names of
citizens qualified for serving as
judiccs were inscribed in a public
record known as the album. More
over, itigants had the right of OBJ
lection to a particular judex. Not
only so. but this right was extended
during many centuries to criminals,
who were tried before centumyirs
and decemvirs, sitting on the per
manent tribunals. If the Roman
Bill Skies never thought Of putting
forward the demand Of his English
that "we all ought to have
a voice in making the laws as we
suffer by" yet we may be well as
sured that he would not fail to take
a sporting chance. make prime ia
vorite of the judge who was most
reversed on appeal and strenuously
object to the others.
The point which calls for our
special attention is that none Of the
men who discharged the various ju-
dicial or semijudicial functions de-
scribed was drawn, except in most
exceptional cases, from the adyo-
cate class. Nor is it possible to
conceive any arrangement better
than that in force in
Rome to exclude their narrow, pro-
'essional technicality from the set
.lement of civil cases. The presid- !
ng magistrates of the great Grim
nal tribunals were seldom or never
nen who practiced at the bar. Even
IN later times, when functions of |
and judex were merged
in one official, there is evidence
hat the bench was recruited from
he bar more frequently than be-
ore. Exchange.
