Ever hoar any one make thl3
remark? We have, and lota of
times, and always wondered
how any one could accuse an
other of auch Btupldlty.
Don't you know that every
wearer of glasses would gladly
take them off and lay them aside
forever. If their eyes would only
let them?
No one ever comee to be fitted
but what there Is a hope that
glasses really will not be needed
at all. The trouble Is to make
people wear them when they
should. That glasses are the
only relief for eye troubles of
several kinds Is established be
yond a doubt. Certain eye trou
bles are entirely beyond cure by
treatment; glasses only are the
relief. This being the case, i3 it
not absolutely necessary that
your glasses should be the right
kind for you, beyond every
doubt? The careful examination
of eyes and the making of cor
rect glasses to overcome their
defec ts is one of pur specialties,
to which we devote much time
and attention. Thousands of
people all over the Islands have
been fitted by us during the past
years, and to their everlasting
comfort. We prescribe only
when glasses are needed, and not
otherwise.

NO VERDICT
Jury
in Murder Case
Will Wait.
The Principal Witness Absent Cor
roborative Testimony Wit
nesses Examined.
Th coroner's Jury called to sit on
the ea.se uf the killing of Toyo Jack
sou met la.'t evening in the D.puty
Marshals oRUe. The testimony of
several witnesses was heard, they all
corroborating each other in the main
facts. As the principal witness. I.-aac
Cot kett, was unable to be present, the
Inquiry was postponed until he is
well enout,li to atcend, which will prob
ably be in a week or ten days.
So far as appears from the evidence,
Ester was not M en to have a knife In
his hand. The knife was first seen
lying on the street. The three men.
E.-ter in the lead, followed by Jackson
and Cockeit, were seen to rush from
the aide entrance of the I'acifn: saloon.
They all ran to the further side of King
street, where Jackson struck the ne
gro, felling him to the ground. Jark-
soii 'then btaggered and fell to the
ground belore the nt'Ki'o had a chance
to arise. While Ester ww down Cot k
ett kicked hun several limes ami a po
liceman came up and assisted the ne
gro to his feet, telling Cockett to pick
up the knife, which wus lying mar
by. The nero was taken to the sta
tion. Cotkett arriving very soon after
wards and handed th- kn.l'e to the feta
tion, clerk saying. "This is the knife
this colored man' stabbed me with." It
does not appear that the men were
drunk. The inquiry was conducted by
Deputy Marshal Chillingworth. law
yer Strauss, the negro's attorney, was
present.
The following is the testimony as
given at the inquest:
Dr. Cooper's Statement.
"I am a physician. I was telephon
ed to on th evening of the loth in
stant to come to the Quern's Hospital,
as two men who had been stabbed
were there. I went to the hospital im
mediately, ami whfii I arrived I found
t hat Jackson had expired.. Assisted by
Dr. J. H. Kaymond, 1 made- a post
mortem examination. 'I he result on
the body of Jackson showed Mwit it
was. the body of a male of dark color,
well nourished and about 2'1 years of
agf. There was a scar on the surface
of the left leg. Stab wound abo.it one
Inch in length in the fifth intermedial
space to the left of tl e sternum. The
lirth rib and part of the sixth were sev
ered. The blade penetrated the peri
cardial sac and the right ventrical of
the heart. The pericardial sac was
tilled with blood-clot. The cause of
death was hemorrhage and tollaps"
There was only one knife-wound."
Robt. 11. French.
"I am the manager of Peacock &
Co.'s Pacific saloon. I knew Toyo Jack
son. I saw him about ten minutes to
6 on the evening of the 10th instant.
He. with Cockett and the negro, were
in front of the bar. Jackson had been
drinking. They were not drinking,
but were talking. The colored man
was trying to borrow money from
Jackson. He did not get it. The three
men left the bar and went into the
passageway leading to the side alley
entrance. I heard an altercation and
then somebody fall. I went out and
saw the negro rising from the floor
with blood Mowing from his face. His
hat was on the lloor and I picked it
up and gave it to him in his right hand.
I did no; see any knife in his hand. I
took him by the shoulder and told him
to ret out. He started to go and 1
went back into the saloon. Either
Jackson or Cockett then said, 'Get out
of here. We don't want any troiib.e.'
I turned and saw the colored raw bad
started back into the passage again.
Jackson and Cricket l made a rush at
him and all three went out. That U
the last I saw of them that night. The
dispute arose over something that was
written In a book the colored man had.
Hid not hear Cockett say anything
about Jackson not It nding money to
the colored man. Negro "had no knife
at the time I put him out. He went o it
willingly, but came back before I could
g-t at him again. They rushed at
him. Either Cockett or Jackson yelled
at him to '(let out!' when they rushed
at him. I gave him his hat in his
right hand."
Police Officer Halelau.
"I know Toyo Jackson. I saw him
when he ran out of the Pacific saloon
Saturday evening. They ran oik on
to King street from the small en
trance. When I first saw the ne
gro was first, Toyo second a::d Cockett
third. They all ran out ci tae p. ace
Into the street. I saw the colored man
! run out to the car track. Jackson hit
the man in the back of he head and
he fell to the ground. He fell on his
head with his feet in the air. Jack3on
then fell to the ground. The rolored
: man did not get up before Jackson
fell. Cockett kicked the colored man
as he lay on the ground. The knife
was lying by his t..de. Cockett said he
was stabtied. I took the colored man
to the station. Cockett followed after
us. bringing the knife to the station.
What I saw was the colored man run
ning. He never stopped until he wm
knocked down. He did not turn around
while running. I think Jackson was
stabbed before they ran to the street,
because the minute Jackson shrin k the
colored man they bth fell down. Col
ored man did not have time to turn.
The only time I saw Cockett near the
colored man was when the negro was
on the ground and Cockett was kicking
him. He fell with his head on the
ground. 1 was Waikikl side of Sing
I,oy's store and Just as Jackson ftruck
Ester I arrived near them. When I
picked Ester tip and started down the
street with him he acted as if he was
s'u;:nid. I ! n't know if h w is '.rank
or not. I dun"; Ur. j if Cock.-tt h id
bn drinking. I fir-: saw th knife cm
the groun 1 aiiout three fe t from th4
ne'-'ro. I did not sie i; in his hand. It
was a horn-handled knife. Jack -on
did no: say a word after fell. Cock
eit said, when lie kick-. d the faln
man. 'I am stabbed. Th r. nigger
. stabbed me." "
Chas. B. Wells.
"Saw the three men rush cut of the
saloon. Negro was first, Jackson fol
lowed and then came Cockett. Isaac
yell'-d, 'Give i: to him, Toyo. Jack
son caught up to the nigger and
smashed him in the head and he fell.
Then Jackson staggered around In a
sort of a circle and fell on his back
with his hands up over hU head. I
heard somebody yell. 'Knife!' in na
tive, and I went to Jackson and raised
his head I opened his shirt and found
a cut over the heart. Hunted for other
wounds but could not find any. Tried
to make him talk, but he was out of
blood and strength. He gasped and
took long breaths. The patrol came
along and he was taken to the hospital. ;
1 went into the saloon and washed my
hands. Ester did not stop running. If
he hail made a pass I think I should
have seen it. Did not notice a knife
in his hand. He was six feet in front
of Jackson when they came out of the
saloon. The colored man did not get
up before Jackson fell. The knife was
closer to jacKson man io r,sier. i mum
Cockett. while kicking him, kicked it
out of his hand. Cockett picked up
the knife and said. 'I've got the knife.'
I then gave all my attention to Jack
son, knowing that they had the nigger
and the knife. When I got to Jackson
it was not more than ten seconds after
he fell. He wore a leather belt and
there was a quantity of blood on his
t-hirt above the be.t. It must have
flowed very quickly, because when I
put my finger to the wound no blood
was flowing. I think he was cut from
a minute to two minutes before he fell.
He must have been stabbed before he
reached the street. a.s the negro was fa
no position to do it while they were
running."
Chas.
L. Dickeison.
"I know a colored man who
drove
a wagon ior tu. j. nan oc uoua. n
wagon for h..
i t r . 11 l' ' . . 1 fa
tme to me last Friday and asked me
to lend him a quarter. He offered a
knife to me as security. I gave him
the money and took the knife. Satur
day between 4 and 3 o'clock he return
ed rhe money to me and I gave him
bac k the knife."
When shown the knife that was
brought to the station by Cockett Dick
enson recognized it as being the name
la pattern as the one he had held for
security.
Jack Kalakiela. the station clerk,
was called to identify the knif?. He
slated that the knife shown him by the
Deputy Marshal was the same that had
been brought in to the station by Cock
ett. The knif was shown to the jur
or. The coroner asked the jurors if. from
the evidence heard, they cou.d render
a verdict, and they said no. They
wish to hear Cockett s story before de
termining upon their verdict.
PAUAIII STREET EXTENSION.
Formal Offer of Bishop Estate Likely
To be Accepted.
Minister Young and P. S. Dodge were
in consultation yesterday regarding the
proposition made by the Uishop Estate
in relation to the opening of Pauahi
street from Nuuanu avenue to Fort
street. As recommended by the roal
jury a few clays ago, the extension of
Pauahi street will enter Port just ma
kal of the Love building. The I5:shop
Estate owns about one-quarier of the
land required for the extension; the
Esia'e'o property needed being a strip
thirty-six feet wide and 1SS feet in
length. This strip Is a part of Fow-
er's yard, or Pa moo, as it is known
to native Hawaiians.
Through Mr. Dodge the Ilishop Es
tate yesterday made a formal otter to
the Government to deed the property
mentioned in consideration that the
authorities waive betterments and
bai.d the sidewalks for the Estate ac
cording to the legal requirements. I'n
d r the offer the street L to be put
through in one year after signing the
agreement. There are no bases on tha
strip to be dee.led the Government,
and it Is very probable that th. offer
will be accepted at cince and Pauahi
s.reet extended to Fort in the nrar fu
ture. JAPANESE AGENT HERE.

Of His Countrymen.
F. Hirai. secretary of the Trado Hu
