Frank Cooke was apparently the
clmirmim. He olijrcteil to pretty
tnueli everything ahout tlie picture,
except the name of the maker;
three women eat through it until
the woman's hosom the woman in
the picture commenced to heave,
when their sensibilities seenn d to
have been disturbed, nnd they made
for the door. When one woman
reached the door, where she met
Mrs. Newman, part owner of the
pic! ure she was asked if she had
read in The Advertiser what the
reporter had said about the picture
and its rottenness. The censoress
replied that she had. "Then,"
said Mrs. Newman, "I am surprised
at your coming to see it; the desire
was certainly keen."
Arthur Mcintosh, also a member
of the committee, wended his way
to the door and asked the lady if
the picture was nearly through and
was told it was. "Then when does
the navghtiiH ss go on?" he asked.
Mis. Newman smiled, and told him
he had seen it all. Mac. started
for the stivei whistling "This is no
place for a minister's son'' and,
later, confessed bis disgust for any
one w ho would raise such an odor
over so insipid a play.
There was talk the next day, the
majority of the committee passing
favorably upon it, of having an in
junction put upon it by Sheriff Jar
rett but as his deputy saw the pic
ture the lirst night, and advised its
running the second, there is no like
lihood of that.
PAXON.
Representative Paxon is feeling
the pinch of the suffragists among
the teachers. Being a mere man
he is the target for their darts on
account of his anti-Pope attitude

ing, it may be that the sales of
Singers will drop in the future,
until the pedagogues get down to a
realization of the justice of his
course. The governor has flown

CRIME.
To make Honolulu a thoroughly
cosmopolitan city all that is needed
is a Black Hand society. We have
the little brown fellows in numbers
nd they are both good and bad,
but mostly good. In respect to
their morals they are no different
from the whites in the same class.
The men who murdered the Chinese
were only a decade from the time
of human sacrifices, or, perhaps
brute creation, judging by the
method of the killing and the atro
cities after- There seems to be
little doubt of the guilt of the two
men arrested; the third ono has
not been overtaken. Finger prints
have figured in the case with the
same result that I'uddenhead Wil
son secured in his treatment of the
twins- There seems to be no escape
for the men, and there has been
talk that they should meet the same
quick death that the murderer of
Eddie Damon got. That case was
different. Damon was the son of a
prominent business man and one of
wealth. His influence in the com
munity was a factor in the quick
strangling of the Porto Riean.
Another case is that which will
send Fred Whaley to the galleys or
the gallows. His employers give
him the highest reputation, while
people who know him outside of
business hours tell of his drinking
sprees in which his wifS shared his
bottle and his joys, but never his
troubles. The girl was just natural
ly bad, and a man who knew her
in a business way says she rarely
missed a week without loading up
on cheap wine, and then turning
out to razzle her husband. At
times they would get drunk togeth
er and then a general row followed
This same man tells of an occasion
when the couple occupied his house
but their language durii their
periods of drunkenness was such
that no one could live in the neigh
borhood and not feel mortified
The Newspapers had it that the
wife had been left property by her
father, the late Sam Andrews of
Makua, not Makaha. But this was
so little that had she been disposed
she could have dissipated it in a
week, for it did not amount to
more tnan a few hundred dollars in
addition to a little piece of taro
land in I'alania, which she held at
the time of her death refusing all
offers to sell- Two days before her
death a sort of trustee for her called
and told her he had heard she
Wanted to sell the lot ninl if il was
the ease lit would buy. She stout
ly denied that she had any i 1 1 te n
tion of selling. As a matter of fact
she told this man she was satisfied
Whaley had married her believing
she had a lot of property and,
when he called on the trustee and
asked for the deeds to the property
and then learned for the first time
that there was only the little kule
ana interest, he turned sour. Fight
after light, no home life wortl
while and things growing worse all
of the time, separated them, the
husband going to a rooming house
and the wife to a place on Asylum
road. There has been talk an
speculation as to the degree of liiur
iler the man will be charged with
The fact that the woman dared him
to shoot her would indicate that he
had previously threatened- Then
it is asked what he was doing witl
the revolver. From an official o
the company it is learned that he
was watchman as well as night
trouble-man and as such was jusli
lied in going armed while at work
The woman probably knew he had
the revolver and knowing it dared
him to use it, not for a moment be
lieving he would do so. Now the
fellow claims he was insane am
was driven to the crime by the
taunts of the wife. But insanity
und him writing a letter to his
ither, who lives somewhere on the
mainland. He had not written
much, hut he mentioned the fact
lat he had not been getting on with
lis wife and had left her, He Imped
now to he able to save enough
money to carry him back this sum
mer. There was nothing indicating
insanity or brainfag in the lines.
Nor was there anything to lead the
public or a jury, to believe he pre
meditated the crime two minutes,
or even less, before it happened.
The fellow in jail is so filled with
remorse, or is it fear? that he can
not talk intelligently all the time.
CANDIDATES.
Still no developments of the
gubernatorial situation. According
to a number of cable messages re
ceived here by friends of Mr. Wat
son he is in good health and spirits.
A man who has been given the
sign that there is nothing doing in
politics, so far as he is concerned,
eels neither fine nor fit. There
are some here who believe that the
mission of Watson this time is to
work for his partner Wilder. Those
who say so do not know Watson.
He is out there looking for the place
for little Watson not little Wilder.
For the sole reason that should he
get it the result to his physical con
dition would be serious, there are
very few here who would not like
to see him in the chair. They be
lieve he is as clean as the present
incumbent.
WILSON.
It is noticable that Wilson is not
making friends as fast as a man in
his position should so early in his
administration and the opinion is
growing that at the end of his term
he will go out of office as much elis
liked as was Cleveland on his second
term. Wilson, the people here
argue, is a theorist who never had
to build fortune, or anything he
was ever connected with by hard
work. Being a professor in endow
ed colleges all of the time he has
had little to do but theorize and it
is probably what he is doing with
the tariff, little realizing that his
scheme may not work and not
caring. He has been convinced,
no doubt, by those around him that
free everything is what is wanted
to make living cheaper, scarcely
giving a thought to the industries
he is to kill and to the men he will
make rich at the expense of the
millions he will make poor.
Things are growing no better fast
here. Stocks keep down and there
is always some fool to buy what the
other fool wishes to sell. The action
of the Oahu Sugar Company in pro
ceednig with the development 01 a
water supply when there is every
chance of free sugar before the work
is complete sets the people who deal
in storks to thinking strange things.
It is on aceotiui of this that there
are those vt ho will buv Oahu but
luot ul the buyers are waiting for
the slock to go to ten before (,oiug
into what is manifestly a gamble.
Olaa seems to lie beyond the point of
recuperation. Even the infusion of
new life that is promised in the
employing of Mr. Eekart is not
sending the blood coursing more
rapidly through the veins of the
share holders who paid a good price
for their stock and have never
hal a penny return
Sports in the .swimming line are
wondering just how much glory
really is title a man for putting
H inolulu on the world's map and
how much they get. After Duke
won the World's championship in
Stockholm last year there was an
immediate spurt of the enthusiasts
to show the appreciation of the
people, just as other communities
have shown their local victors, but
to a lesser degree. Attorney Raw
lins went out with a list and Johnny
Soper who has connection with the
local branch of the A. A. IT. helped
him. From time to time theamount
of the sum secured was announced
in the newspapers and finally some
thing over two thousand dollars was
said to be in the fund and the com
mittee decided that Duke was to
be honored with a gift of a house
which was to be held in trust. That
was the last of it; Duke has not, up
