CHAPTER v.
A Scientist In Pink SILK.

The next morning promptly at eight
o'clock Jack Warford. in response to
a muttered invitation, burst excitedly
into Percy Darrows room. He found
the scientist. draped in a pale-pink
silk kimono embroidered with light
blue butterflies. scraping methodically
1t his face with 4 safety-razor. At the
sight the young fellow came to an
abrupt stop. as though some one had
met him with a dash OF cold water in
the face.
"Hello!" said he, in q constrained
voice. Just up?"
barrow cast q glance through his
long silky lashes at the newcomer.
Yes, my amiable young canine, just
up"
Jack looked somewhat puzzled at
the appellation. but seated himself.
Helen said you wanted to see me"
he suggested.
Darrow leisurely cleaned the com
ponent parts of his safety-razor, wash
ed and anointed his face, and turned.

"Of course I'm game!" cried the boy

the case in Hawaii.
We have no shadow of thought of
any criticism OF the good man and
eminent jurist who presided at the
trial OF the case in Honolulu. The
judge is an able and experienced
lawyer and lover Of Justice His
hands are tied in every criminal case
by statutes and legal maxims that
should be abolished as having no use
in a land where a tyrant is not the
ruler and where rule is in the hands
of a patient and benevolent people.
Nor do We criticize any particular at

customs, sanction their conduct.
The great fundamental cause of the
evil is in proceeding on false pre-
sumptions and by deductive reason
ing reaching false conclusions and
binding them upon the courts as II

fact, they dispute the facts.

TUNEFUL HARP
APPEALS TO ALL

With a complete change in the at
tractive program of melodiess Dia-
mond and Beatrice will continue the
star turn at the Bijou theater for the
next fortnight.
The trio of clever instrumentalists
has won it's way into the hearts of
local theatergoers beginning with the
initial performance. The tuneful harp
has been played in manner never at
tempted in this city. Their solos and
duets of both classical airs and
popular melodies have easily won the
appreciation and admiration of host
of patrons of the Bijou.
Charlie Diamond, who as far back
as thirty years, entertained genera
ton that is now passing, has lost none
of his cunning as performer on the
grand old harp. When he trips be-
fore the footlights, his step is just as
nimble as in the days when the Hav-
erly Minstrel Company was rated as
the stellar attraction on the main
land and on the continent.
Diamond and Beatrice have an ex-
tended repertoire of songs, which are
yet to be rendered for the benefit of
Honolulans.
The Reeves Musical troupe again
offer complete change of program
with this evenings performance. This
aggregation of musical artists are
nearing the close of their engagement.
That they have made good is ably at
tested BY the enthusiasm which their
efforts merit and receive from a de-
lighter audience.
The Hartford Sisters are terminal
ing successful season on the island
circuit with number of clever musi-
cal and dancing turns. They soon
return to the Coast after having Wis
tied the several cities in the islands
under the management of the Con-
solidated Amusement Company.
A night in Old Hawaii promises
much for patrons of Ye Liberty
theater on Saturday evening at which
time genuine hula with accompany
| ing melody will be be one Of the
features of this entertainment. In
addition to several Hawaiian vocal
lists, four first run photo plays, direct
from the mainland manufacturers are
to be offered
The Empire theater, always the
home of the best in the picture line

MURPHY READY TO USE A
 MILLION TO RUIN SULZER

ALBANY.-"If it cost me a half million dollars to drive George B. Me- Clellan out of politics I am willing to spend a million to ruin Governor Sul- ger"
 Charles F. Murphy was thus quoted tonight by a member of Governor Sul- gers official family. He had been asked about the alleged conspiracy headed by the Tammany boss to crush the governor.
 The governors deputy continued: Boss Murphy's methods of fighting include the employment of detectives in search of slanderOus evidence in every place the governor has resided or visited; the raking up and magni- flying into scandalous acts of boyish pranks; the invention of breach of promise suits, fake offenses alleged to have been committed in Cuba, Alaska and Vermont; the incessant sending of letters to the governor and Mrs. Sulzer, labelled with skull and crossbones warning him that if he does not quit fighting the Tammany boss he will suffer physical as we'll as political assassination; the constant jogging of the governors movements in and out of the executive chamber by Murphy's paid detectives directed to report to the boss every incident that might be weaved into a general indictment.-New York American.

GEN. RIVA DIES; PLOT

HAVANA.-The death occurred this morning of General Armando Riva, chief of the Cuban National Police, who was shot Monday evening during a pistol fight on the Prado after raid ing a gambling club.
 General Ernest Asbert, Governor of Havana Province, Senator Vidal Mar ales and Representative Arias, arrest ed for the crime, were protected last night by attachments of rural guards inside and outside the city prison, owing to the report that friends of General Riva, who enjoyed the widest popularity, would attack the prison and lynch General Asbert.
