FOUGHT AND killed

(Mail Special to The Advertiser.)

mail Special to The Advertiser.)
HILo, August 2s.-County Attorney
Beers returned last Tuesday from Ha-
makua where he went to make an in
vestigation of the facts of the Japan
ese murder case which occurred at
Paauhau the preceding Sunday fore
noon. He states that he had consider
able difficulty in getting statements
from the witnesses of the affair at first,
but that finally the matter was straight
ened out by a statement by the man
who is alleged to have done the cutting
which caused the death of his fellow
countryma9.
1t seems that Japanese named XII
mura owed the sum of six dollars to
Shimamura, the man who is thought
to be the murderer. Kimura and an
other Japanese named Morimura, the
man who was later on killed, were
gambling and Kinura had a run of
luck, and finally his winnings amounted
to about twenty-six dollars. Shima-
mura got wind of the fact that his
debtor had providentially got into
funds, and he took advantage of the
occasion by asking him to pay back the
six dollars he owed.
This started the row between Shima-
mura and Kimura, both of whom seem
to have had knives. Morimura took a
hand, using stick of firewood as his
weapon, but in the melee he received
a terrible slash from a fish knife, which
/ it seems, Shimamura was using. The
cut ran down the side of the face, doE n
the neck and severed the jugular.
Morimura feel to the floor, bathed in
, his blood, and his death ensued almost
instantly. In the meantime Kimura
and Shimamura kept on fighting, not
needing the man who was dying at their
feet, until they were finally separated
Both had by this time received serious
wounds, and for some time it wal
thought that one or both Of them might
die. They were taken to the hospital
where they remained under a constant
watch of police officers. ShimamuTs
was cut on both the face and on the
back.

days. Those who compute by solar time say
that it consists of three hundred and sixty
five days The exact time is three hundred
and sixty-five days, five hours, forty-eight
minutes, and forty-six seconds. In this
time the earth completes one journey around
the sun.
Then there is the sidereal year. which has
three hundred and sixty-five days six hours,
nine minutes, and nine and half seconds
In this year the earth goes round the sun and
returns to the same position with respect to
the sun and given fixed star. Next there
is the anomalistic year, which has three hum
dred and sixty-five days, six hours, thirteen
minutes, and fortyeight seconds This year
is that in which the earth travels from peri
helion back to perihelion again.
Any boy or girl who has had scholastic adj
vantages knows that leap year belongs to
the solar year system. Those more adj
vanCed know that civil and astrononic time
are made equal by adding day every fourth
year-and that this makes leap year. But
everybody does not know that the year is
eleven minutes and twelve seconds short of
three hundred and sixty-five and quarter
days. The result of this showed long time
ago that every four years civil time became
faster than solar time by the amount stated.
To be exact, this was only small fraction
of year. The man who is a stickler for
splitting hairs will tell you that this is .OO77S
of a day. But this little bit figured up con-
siderably in the course of centuries. After
twelve hundred years Of this time had been
consumed an Italian astronomer, Aloysius
illus, discovered that the error amounted
to ten days. That is, civil time was ten days
before the solar time.
Thereupon, Pope Gregory XIII. decreed
that ten days should be cut out. This made
October ) show up on the calendar as Octo-
Der ID. Then, to prevent future errors, it
was ordered that every hundredth year
should not be counted as leap year unless
the number of the year was Invisible by four
hundred without remainder. That explains
why 1000 was leap year. and why 100 and
1900 were not. And SO 1900 was not leap
year; but 1000 will be.
Now, here are other facts that only the
very learned know about the subject of
time. No century can begin on a Wednes-
day, Friday, or Saturday. October and
January always begin on the same day of the
week except in leap year. September, De-
cember, February, March, and November
start on the same day of the week. May,
June, and August never start on the same
week day as other months start. April and
July begin on the same day of the week.

CURIOSITIES OF THE CALENDAR
THE year now closing is fifty-three Sum

THE year now closing is fifty-three Sum
days long. As it came in on Sunday, it
goes out on the same day. This, including
1905, occurs but eighteen times in this cen
turv. If YOU are mathematicallyc constructed,
ii will be easy to understand how the ar
rangement seems irregular. If YOU are as
frank about it as was Lord Chesterfield in
1751 when he presented bill to bring British
dates into agreement with those of Europe
generally. it won't bother. He said he knew
nothing about the subject; but he was
forced to make the Lords think he did. and
TO make them think that they also knew,
which they didn't.
The next year corresponding to the cur
rent calendar will be 1916. and the same will
be true of 1929 and 1923. After these, a
similar condition will occur in five years,
1888. Then six years will elapse before
tiftv-three- Sunday calendar, 1899. Then
the schedule will swing back to five years, or
in 1914. From then there will be fifty-three
Sundays in 1850, 1856, 1861, 1867, 1872,
1878. 1884, 1899, 1895, and 1000. A study
of this fact will show that no year, leap years
exc pied can have fifty-three Sundays I'M
less the year begins on Sunday.
OF course the first day of 1912 will be
Monday. April and July follow suit. Feb
ruary and August will start on Thursday;
March and November come in on Friday.
May will be the only month beginning on
Wednesday,; June will start on Saturday;
September and December on Sunday; Oc-
tober on Tuesday.
Almanac makers and people whose special
ty is measuring time and "unwinding the
eternal dances of the midnight sky tell us
that the length of daylight differs according
to its location. Thus, New York's longest
day is fifteen hours. London has sixteen and
one-half hours. Spitzbergen has three and
a half months. Quito on the equator has its
day and night equally divided.
Reduced to simple numbers, we say that
all years contain three hundred and sixty
five DAYS. And unless one is a time specialist
one would say that all years begin the first
day of January. 1t depends on what kind of
year is considered. The lunar year, for ex-
ample. has three hundred and tifty-four days,
eight hours, forty-eight minutes, and thirty
six seconds. In this year the moon makes a
journey round the earth twelve times. Asyou
will readily see, the lunar year is eleven days
shorter than the solar year. The Jews make
their calculations on this year. 1t is their
period of time. They undertake to correct
this defect by adding a thirteenth month of
thirty days every third year; but this does
not bring their year up to the solar, by three

WOMEN IN NOES RAID TOWNS
Species Of Anarchy Prevails Among
French Villages In War on
High Food Prices.

Paris, Aug. 31.-Processions of won.
en-, some Of them numbering 1000, are
marching in the cities and towns of
northern France protesting against
the high prices Of provisions.
At Lille, Cambria, Douai, Valen-
ciennes. Bethune, Lens and at many
smaller places a species OF anarchy
prevails because the gendarmes are
too few in number to protect the
dealers of food from the destructive
impulses Of the manifestants.
Women malcontents in some of the
northern departments are marching
from village to village, running over
farms and damaging dairies and vege-
table gardens to indicate their sense
of grievance because of the high cost
of living.

GRANT PRAISES ARMY
FOR ITS TEMPERANCE
Commander Of Department Of East
Says Soldiers Rival Clergyman
and Railroad Worker.

Washington, Aug. 31.-The stand
ard of temperance in the army, for
both officers and men, is exceptionally
high, and is not exceeded in the other
walks of life, unless in the church and
among railroad employees" says Maj.
Gen. Frederick D. Grant in report to
the war department.
While the soldier makes favorable
showing in this connection, in compar
ison with men in other vocations, Gen.
Grant, as commander of the de-
partment of the east during the
last fiscal year, found nevertheless that
the chief cause of court-martial trials
was Indulgence in alcoholic drinks.
There was remarkable decrease,
he adds, in the lumber of trials by
military courts in the department last
year as compared with the previous
IL months. This is attributed pri-
marily to the thorough training which
recruits now receive at the recruit de-
pots.
Army surgeons are urging the war
department to act with greater
promptness in discharging soldiers for
physical disability, instead of trying
to patch up worthless men for duty
which they cannot properly perform.
