the blame upon his wife alleging that she is
morally responsible for his deed.

ishment ! think the brother is in error, Take
your Bible, my brother, ard turn to Numbers,
35th 30th and 31st verses and you viii find these
words:
Whose <illeth any person the murderer shall
be put to death by the month Of witnesses. but
che witness shall not testify against any per-
to cause him TO die" and again. 3lst verse:
Moreover We shall take satisfaction for
the life of murderer, which is guilty of death:
but ne shall be surely put TO death"
This scripture is the law handed down TO
Moses by God himself Now let's see what
Christ has to say about this law. Turn to
Mathew, 5th, 18th and 18th verses and we
find these words:

Reckless Automobile Driving.

Persons used to running automobiles often
lapse into an unintentional careessness, which
is dangerous to both life and limb of pedes-
TRANS and a word of warning every now or then
is not amiss. The automobile is not of itself
dangerous except when carcessly or improper
ly handled. but in the hands of drivers who
disregard the ordinary precautions in running
high power machines it is a menace to human
life. 1t behooves every driving auto
mobile to take the utmost precaution on both
roads and streets, and to remember that other
travellers have rights which must be respected
We have observed numerous instances in this
city and vicinity Of careless driving of ma
chimes and in some instances it is charged that
the speed laws have been grossly violated. This
should not be. and suggest to all automo-
bile owners and drivers that they exercise
proper care in running their machines due
regard for the rights of others and, further a
regard for the laws regulating the speed limit

II cannot therefore, be denied that system of

HlLO, July 25.-Annie Kaanaana, a
young Hawaiian woman, was found
dead in the Honolii stream last We'd
nesday morning. She had two wounds
on the head, and at first foul play was
suspected, but it has since been decided
that she committed suicide.
The woman s husband left her four
months ago and went to Waimea. Since
then he had sent her no money, and
she had worried much because of this,
and often made complaint. A few DAYS
before her death she was caught by
the undertow at the beach and was
nearly drowned. After she had been res.
cued, she remarked that she wished she
had been suffered to die.
On Tuesday night she and some other
Hawaiians INDUCED in a drinking soiree
in house on the north side of the
river. At about one o. clock Wednesday
morning she was assisted home by "A
young Hawaiian, who left her. at the
fence of her house, which is on the
south side of the river. She was then
intoxicated. but complained of her hus,
band s neglect.
1t is believed that subsequently she
climbed up on the railway bridge and
threw herself into the river. This theory
is based on the fact that her lungs
contained no water, showing that she
did not drown; on the fact that the
two wounds on her head were not suf-
ticient to cause death and might have
been received in the fall: and finally
because, when post'mortem was per
formed, it was found that while the
body showed NO bruises externally, the
woman S internal organs were crushed
and shattered in manner which in.
dicated that she had fallen from great
height upon the surface of body OF
water. A eoroner's jury returned yer.
diet of suicide.

HILO, Hawaii, July 25.-The sale of
the government lots at Ponohawai, be.
tween Volcano and Front streets, last
Friday by Agent Williams, was very
successful one. The total upset price
for all the lots offered was SIT 1888, but
one lot, on which the upset price was
$30l5, was not sold, making the upset
price for the lots which were disposed
of total $l4,673. AS the sum of $l7,-
l66 was realized, it will be seen that
the government Melted quite respect
able advance above the upset price.
Theo. II. Davies & Company which has
for some time past been in the market
for good warehouse property, was the
heaviest bidder, securing five lots. The
bidding was quite lively in the case of
several of the lots.
The sale is an important one in that
it means a step forward in the develop.
ment of Hilo. The old Ponohawai
street line between Volcano and Front
streets will be abandoned, and the new
street will run straight. in a line paral.
lei with the railroad fill and about $50
feet therefrom.
The purchasers have been given only
agreements of sale, which will be ex-
changed for fee simple deeds as soon
as they comply with the conditions,
which provide that they must, within
two years of the date of the sale, either
fill in their lots to street grade or con.
struct walled cellars where they do not
fill in. The proceeds from the sale will
be applied toward building the new
Ponohawai street.

Hawaii IIorald;-A japanese was
stabbed seven times by another at Wal

will recover from his wounds. The

scene of the cutting scrape he found
the wounded man had been removed to
the japanese hospital. He questioned
the owner of the room in which the
fight took place, but the room owner
denied all knowledge of the ARRAY.
Two hours afterward the injured man
identified this japanese as the one who
had stabbed him. The owner of the
room was placed under arrest.
