Circuit Court
in Session
Grand Jury Begins Its LabOrs
For the Term.

The March, 1910 term of court
opened Wednesday, with Circuit
Judge Selden b. Kingsbury, presid-
ing and Edmund II. Hart as clerk
and Miss Eva Scholtz as stenogra-
pher.
The grand jury was sworn in and
charged by the court as follows:
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury
We live in land the government
of which is Democratic-that is by
the people themselves self-govern-
ment.
Ours is a benevolent government
because instituted and maintained
to supply our needs for our good.
Yet, we must support the Gov
ernment, not the Government us.
And we each in turn and according
to our respective duties, powers and
positions, bear our part and per-
form our several respective govern
mental duties.
There is a work to be done by the
Legislature, another by our Execu-
tive, and another by our Judiciary (;
but the fundamental, most indie
pendent, most powerful govern
mental factors are the various pow
ers and duties of our electors, of
whom you are. You are now as a
special committee of the electors of
this jurisdiction, carefully selected
legally drawn and duly summoned
to look into and to report concern
ing criminal matters within this
County of Maui, embracing the is
land of Maui, Molokai, Lanai and
Kahoolawe.
These shores circumscribe your
territorial jurisdiction and confine
your functions to acts and omissions
within their lines. The subject
matter of your jurisdiction is the
criminal law of this Territory and
the question is what violation has
there been Of this law within this
jurisdiction, and who is guilty of
such violation.
Such questions are now to be ask
ed you, and you are to answer them
under your oaths as grand juryman.
The obligation is upon you to ans
wer truly and fully. You must not,
cannot skirk or shrink back from
this duty. 1t is placed upon you by
law and custom, ancient and sacred,
and pertains to your electorship.
Your liberty and station rs citi-
zens and freemen is bound in with
this duty and service, and is guard
ed and preserved by this ancient
institution of the Grand Jury.
The jury system is one of the
most precious institutions of the
American people and comes to Ha-
waii with the constitution and flag
as the old tried and old approved
method by which free people can
best set in motion the engine of
justice for the peotection of the good
and the punishment of the wicked.
No person can be put on trial for
a crime or heinous Offense except
he is first indicted by Grand Jury.
Hence, Grand Jury is not only
the Tribunal which is first to take
up the sword of justice, but it is
also ever the shield of the innocent
and the safe. guard of our liberties.
Your present Office is most i'm
portant; the duties arduous and irk-
some, but most honorable and with
correlated powers. Our freedom, our
liberty, the blessings of our benevo-
lent government, our happiness and
security as a people, are either
guarded by the Grand Jury or they
are lost. You are the responsible
Tribunal for setting in motion the
governmental powers which punish
the law-breaker and preserve the
benefits of law and constitution.

New Rochelle, N. Y-No stranger
affection ever existed than that be-
tween a calf and goose, owned by
Miss Hannah George, who lives on a
little farm, near Mount Vernon. The
friendship sprang up when Miss
George sold her COW and the calf was
turned into a pasture where there
were no bushes to brush away the
nies.
One day the goose, seeing swarm
Of flies on the calf while It was lying
down, caught and ate nearly every
fly that was bothering It. The calf
was grateful for the attention and
chased a dog that was in the habit Of
worrying the goose. Since then the
goose has been the calfs constant
companion, spending the entire day
strutting around and jumping for the
flies that light on the calf. When the
goose is tired it will sit on the calf In
the shade and watch for more flies.
One day the goose was sick and was
kept In a closed pen. The calf, miss
ing its friend, would not be consoled
and attempted to strangle itself with
its rope. Miss George disentangled
It Just in time to save its life.

the tidings that Mrs. CorlettO lived
there, and soon the sisters met. There
was an affecting scene when Mrs.
Colver arrived at Gloucester. The sis
ters had been separated since the
death of their father in Baltimore, and
each believed that the other was dead
Mrs. Collver said that she had the
dream a month previous to the happy
reunion. 1t impressed her so much
that she wrote to the postmaster at
Gloucester. After handing her letter
over to Mrs. Corletto, the postmaster
sent a note to Mrs. Collver. BY the
next post Mrs. Corletto sent a letter
asking her sister to come at once. Both
sisters are more than sixty-five years
old. They declared when they met
that it was the happiest day of their
lives.

TH0RNLESS ROSES

This is the day In which old adages
are being relegated to the scrap heap,
and the one about every rose having
its thorn will now have to give way
before the advance Of science. It
seems that woman, Mrs. w. ]. Beggs
of Seattle, has succeeded in producing
this prickless variety, For years she
was neighbor of Luther Burbank, the
California wizard; each tried to pro-
duce the thornless rose, but without
success. Then Mrs. Beggs concluded
that the trouble lay in the climate,
and she moved to Seattle, where she
succeeded in producing a flower of
great beauty and of fragrance which
is second to that of none of the roses
which grow. The stem is smooth like
that Of lily.-Pathfinder.

Louisville.-A woman whose face

expression Of the mountain people.
walked through the corridors Of the
federal building here, carrying in her
arms a beautiful two-year-old girl
whose baby head was crowned with q
tangle of golden eurls.
Many who stopped to pet the little
one noticed a round hole in the front
Of her dress that went through three
folds in a plait. The hole was brown

have been made BY a hot poker In
stead, It marked the course Of bullet,
one that just three weeks ago took
the life Of the bahy's father while he
held her In his arms.
The woman was Mrs. d. c. Moles, Of
Clinton county. She came to Louis

named Lee, who must answer in fed
eral court to the charge Of attempting
to defraud the government out Of tax
on whisky, which he had made at his
distillery in Clinton county.
d. C. Moles was a witness in the
case. He had to go to Albany, KY.
the county seat, for a preliminary
hearing. Moles knew the danger that
always exists in the mountains for the
man who becomes a witness for Uncle
Sam and the "reveRuers," and when
he started to Albany he was accom-
panied by his wife and little daughter.
There Is an unwritten law among the
mountaineers that one shall not shoot

POINTS ON TEMPERATURE.

Miles City, Mont, holds the record
for variation In temperature. The
highest temperature recorded there is
Ill degrees, which is within s degrees
of the highest recorded in the United
States. Miles City's lowest mark has
been 67 degrees below zero, which is
truly arctic. The range between these
two extremes is ITS degrees, which is
a record. Phoenix, Ariz,, holds the
record for the hottest weather, 11S
degrees. Yuma saw the mercury touch
11S degrees. The southern tip OF
Florida is the only spot in the United
States which has never been known
TO freeze. The most equable climate
in that country is found In Tatoosh
island in the Strait of Juan de Fuca,
between Washington and Vancouver
island, where the temperature never
has been above so degrees, and rarely
falls below SO degrees.-London Globe.

Burlington, Vt.-The Vermont bear,
which for years has been almost
curiosity, is fast returning to his old
haunts, and today the woods of the
Green Mountains are literally full Of
them. An example Of the Vermont
bruins returning audacity is found in
the experience of two hunters.
Fred May and a friend were hunt

Winoosh river, when they suddenly
came upon an old she bear and two
cubs. AS she showed fight May let
fly at her with charge of birdshot

'~ I'VE" SKULL is FOUND

An extraordinary incident occurred
recently in a churchyard in the neigh
borhood of winchester, Eng. The sex
ton, while digging, came upon a skull
which was in such perfect condition
that he placed it in the church porch
for the inspection of the rector OF the
parish. The skull was left In tne
church porch until the next day. and
on returning to his work in the morn
ing the sexton was astonished to find
the lower Jaw working up and down,
as II the gruesome thing were alive.
He looked closely, but could not ind
the cause of the movement. On lifting
the skull, however, he discovered that
a large toad had wedged itself in the
law, which was therefore set In mo-
tion by the rythmic movements OF the

Miss Barney, who is said to have
posed for her sisters figure Of the re-
clining beauty.
When this statue was discovered in
the Barney yard 1t was equal to the
latest novelty in moving pictures for
attracting a crowd. The people Of
Washington almost mobbed the Bar
ney residence, and nearly tore down
protecting fences in their efforts to
get a clearer view Of the nude figure.
You would have thought it was the
sale yard of a busted-up automobile
firm If you would have noted and
counted the swell automobiles lined
up in front of the Barney residence,
with their owners eagerly searching
for the marble figure with opera
glasses. Adjacent windows were I'LL.
ed with the same morbidly curious.
Taking 1t altogether there was a pret-
ty hot scene with the mob which the
police were speedily called to quiet as
It gathered about the Barney resi-
dence.
The only explanation made Of this
display Of uncommon art is that the
marble is to decorate some portion Of
the interior of the Barney residence,
and was so big 1t could not be taken
through windows or doors and a spe-
cial opening would have to be made
and so the piece Of sculpture was
chucked down beside the garden fence
until It could be gotten inside Of the
house.

REMOVING THE STOMACH

The operation Of removing the en-.
tire stomach was first successfully
performed by Schlater of Zurich, in
1897. Mr. Vassallo, surgeon of Ar
gentina, now reports having performed
other operations, and considers their
gravity more apparent than real. Four
months after the complete removal Of
this organ the patient was in ex.
cellent health, with no Inconvenience
except the necessity of eating often
and but little at time.

THE SMALL PAY OF MINISTER'S
OF THE GOSPEL.

There is no cause for congratulation
in the recently published fact that the
average salary of a minister of the
gospel is only 5000 yearly. This is
made known by a special report on
the census OF religious bodies for. 1906,
and it means Of course that the salaries
of very many ministers must be far
below the miserable pittance repre-
scented by the average
At a time when economic benevO-
lence is showing a special interest in
rates OF pay and conditions Of en-
pIoyment it is fitting that some one
should cast a critical eve in this direc-
ton. 1t may be remembered with
special relevanee that "the laborer is
worthy of his hire" and it is neither
seemIy nor humane that men who are
called upon TO minister spiritually TO
the needs of small communities should
be expected to live on salaries that
would be rejected with scorn by a third
rate cook.
Such a system not only inhicts
cruelty and humiliation upon its VIC
Tins but discredit upon religion itself,
and the reproach should be removed by
concerted action on the part of the
churches and Of the public.
