THURSDAY,
MAY 4, 1893.
The generous manner in which
the public is responding to the
Advertiser's fund for the leper
band is very encouraging, and it is
expected that the amount desired
by the band to purchase clothing
will be realized before the end of
the week.
O.nk of the inconsistencies of the
anti-annexation fight carried on by
royalist journals is the bitter and
senseless manner in which they all
denounce everybody who happens
not to agree with their ideas of
restoration. Leading German resi
dents are condemned, conservative
Englishmen are scored, the Portu
guese are pointed to contemptuously
and sarcastically as the scum of the
earth, and the appearance of an
American upon the scene causes a
very hovl to go up, in several dif
ferent language?, whose meaning
cannot be interpreted, without
knowing: the nationality of the
;rr iters.
The excellent work which the
board of health is accomplishing is
a source of much gratification. The
painstaking character of tbe inves
tigations being made is one of the
most noticeable features of the new
board's work. The report of the
committee just returned from the
leper settlement not only contains
a practical working plan, but it is
backed by a clearly expressed de
termination, on the part of the
president and members, to carry
out all necessary improvements and
reforms without fear or favor in
any direction. This is as it should
be, but not as it has sometimes
been in the past.
SIGN TIIB ROLL.
Since the organization of the an
nexation cluh its membership and
mfluence have rapidly increased.
,frrora the first it has been a pro
nounced American organization,
but it has not at any time been ex
clusively so. Its membership takes
in most nationalities domiciled here
and there are none except Asiatics
whose names are not welcomed up
on its roll.
The object of the club is to se
cure annexation to the United
States of America upon such terms
as shall include and benefit all
: classes of our citizens. It would
exclude none from any of the ben
efits to be derived by American
residents under annexation.
To the native Hawaiians the club
says, Come into our ranks, help us
fight the battle for the advancement
of our island civilization, and
when this is won enjoy with us the
civil and commercial fruits of
annexation upon a footing of poli
tical equality. This has not been
desirable or practical under the
depressing influences of the mon
archial form of government which
has, at all points, stunted the so
cial and political development of
the native people.
The time has now arrived when
every resident of Hawaii should
begin to see his individual inter
ests are nearly akin to the princi
ple of annexation in other words,
to national prosperity. There
are many whose names are not yet
on the club's roll who do see it,
but wfeo hold back because, per
haps, they are not American resi
dents, or on account of some similar
excuse. To such we say, go inspect
the roll?, and you will find not only
Americans, but Germans, English
men, Portuguese, Frenchmen, and
at, but not by any means least,-
Six
large numbers of patriotic Hawai
ians who love the future prosperity
of their country better than they
do the dead husks of royalty and
the unprofitable government offered
under an effete monarchy.
NEW ELECTRIC COM I A NY.
The Franchise Purchased b-
II all & Son.
The sale of the electric light and
power franchise took place j-ester-day
at noon in front of the govern
ment building. There wa3 but
one bidder, V. V. Hall of the
Hawaiian Electric Company. He
offered the upset price of 2 per
cent, of the gro33 receipts from all
electric light and power furnished
to consumers, and it was knocked
down to his company.
The franchise is to run for ten
years. It is the intention of the
Hawaiian Electric Company to go
to work immediately and make
the necessary arrangements for
securing a large plant. In all
probability the works will be estab
lished on the esplanade, if a suit
able location can be secured. The
company will have to materially
increase their present capital to
carry on their proposed work, as
they intend to purchase a large
engine, boilers and additional
dynamos.
The company will hold an im
portant meeting tomorrow morning
at the office of E. O. Hall & Son.
The Circuit Court.
In the case of assault and battery
against Haaheo and Kanalu, the jury
returned a verdict of acquittal.
D. Watson and three others entered
a plea of not guilty under a charge of
housebreaking-.
Malie Akamu was arraigned for
housebreaking and pleaded not
guilty.
No Missing Link.
Professor Rudolph Virchow, the
well-known biologist, is one of those
who receive with caution the proofs
of a lo order of man uniting him
to the ape, and in a recent speech
has TK'fMed out that all the low
type biiulls yet found resemble
those of modern and civilized races.
We are still seeking in vain for the
"missing link."
He admits that the human body
in an animal organization governed
by the same laws as the bodies of
animals, but recognizes a different
barrier separating man from the
animal, namely, heredity, which
transmits to children the faculties
of their parents. All men having
a simian appearance are simply
pathological variants. The Eskimo
and Terra del Fuegan heads, form
erly regarded as low, are now
known to belong to perfected types.
The Andaman skulls, and those of
the Veddahs of Ceylon, were once
thought to be low, but although
they are small they are of good
shape. A single race, the orang
simaings and orang cekai of Ma
lacca, still remain unstudied. Mik
lukle Maklai, the Russian traveler,
has reported that they are small
and have curly hair, and an expe
dition has been sent to investigate
their anthropology.
Professor Virchow has received a
skull and a few locks of hair from
the party, and as far as he has ex
amined them he regards the stock
as that of a black race with curly
hair. The head is broad and of
moderate capacity, but does not
present the segment sign of bestial
development. According to Profes
sor Virchow there i3 no proanthro
pos or man-monkey. The missing
link remains a phantom of the
mind. Manchester (Eng.) Times.
A case of considerable interest
to British sailors has recently been
decided at New York. A seaman
named Henry, who shipped at Car
diff on board the steamship Mal
vern, left that vessel on her arrival
at Boston, declaring that he had
been subjected to ill-treatment, and
also that, being a minor, he was
not bound by his articles. lho
British Vice-Con3ul, before whom
the case was brought, decided that
Henry was a deserter. Henry,
however, brought an action for the
amount of the wages due to him,
and Judge Nelson, of the United
States Court, has now declared that
the Vice-Consul's judgment is not
final, since the treaty of 1S92 be
tween the United States and Great
Britain does not give him sole
jurisdiction. It is, therefore, re
garded as possible that Henry may
recover the amount which he
claims. Am. Ex.

The birds of the South have suffered
almost equally with the deer and
wild animals of the far North ami
West through the unusual severity of
this winter. The turkey buzzards
have died in great numbers in South
Carolina and other States from cold
and hunger, the earth having been
frequently hidden under snow.

In the matter of the application of
George Titcomb for a writ of habeas
corpus, it was held there is 110 offense
known to our law as "an assault with
a dangerous weapon." A verdict, the
mittimus corresponding1, finding the
defendant guilty of such an offense,
is void. Tbe sentence must be void
upon its face in order to entitle the
petitioner to a discharge on habeas
corpus.
If a sentence within the jurisdic
tion of the court and regular on its
face, he found by an inspection of
the record to be not responsive to the
indictment, it is voidable and can
only be set aside on appeal or by a
writ of error, and is not cognizable
on habeas corpus. Let the prisoner
be discharged.
In the case of Pow Kee against
the Wilder Steamship Co. for the
non-delivery of goods, destroyed by
fire, it was held that in an action
against a common carrier for non de
livery of goods destroyed by fire, the i
carrier being by special contract ex
empt from liability for losses by fire
not due to its negligence, evidence
of changes in the general conduct of
its business made by the carrier after
the fire is inadmissible to show neg
ligence at the time of the lire.
Tbo acceptance without objection
of a bill of lading is evidence of the
shipper's assent to a provision con
tained in the body of the bill ex
empting the carrier from liability for
losses by fire not due to its negli
gence. A consigner prima facie has
authority to bind the consignee by
special contract.
The Bohemian.
All classes and trades of men
have burdened the world with their
wants and their woes save the bo
hemian. Who ever knows of the
struggles of the men whose brains
are their only tools, of their heart
aches and despair, their bitter dis
appointments? Who knows of their
battles for the bread they need?
Notv and then some poor, weak
soul, wearied by a woe too great,
seeks from another world a justice
owed him here. Bohemia mourns
him a day, there are possibly a few
lines .in some newspapers saying
that "overwork," which is diplo
matic language for underpay, killed
him, and all is over. Or, may
chance, the weirdly humorous tale
over which you laugh so heartily,
recounting the adventures of a poet
in search of a purchaser, had for
its basis a personal experience of
the author. He could not sell his
poem, but must have bread, and so
out of his misfortunes he made
good cheer. His adaptability is
one of his peculiarities. The or
dinary man rebuffed by fortune
would sit down and mourn himself
into an illness. The bohemian
utilizes those very reverses, and
both he and the world are the
merrier eventually for them. There
is much more fact than fancy be
hind many of the tales that make
pass pleasantly an evening by the
fireside. The bohemian is not a
trespasser on the time of any man
nor a trader on the sympathies of a
world that doe3 not understand
him. He contributes his brains
while other men contribute their
brawn, and yet the latter claim all
the rewards for the progress made
in the ages.

"To come back to what I was
about to say, Miss Quickstep," be
gan the rising young statesman,
the honorable member from the
'Steenth District, clearing his
throat, "you must have suspected
that I"
"What a queer thing a cat is,
isn't it, Mr. Hackers? See how
quickly pussy gets acquainted
with one. Rubs her head against
you and purrs as if she had known
you all her life."
"Yes, a cat is a queer animal. I
haven't any great admiration for
cats, I confess, but to return to
what I was about to say, Miss
Amanda, you will pardon me if I
seem too presumptuous when I tell
you that I"
"Don't you think 'Mr. Isaacs' is
a very wonderful story, Mr. Hack
ers?" "Yes, it's a great story. But
what I wanted to say is that I "
"And are you readinp 'Benefits
Forgot?' "
"No. I always wait till a maga
zine story is finished before I
tackle it. But listen to mo just a
moment, Miss Amanda. I "
"Doesn't it seem to you, Mr.
Hackers, thct the studj of Dante
