Monday morning two widows had . little

likely to forget They were Mary Henry Of
1876 Allen street and Mary ReRur OF 11S Fast
Fourth street They had been served with dis
possess notices By their respective landlords
This was not what made tho occasion SO
memorable one. for they had been dispos-
sessed before. Mrs. Henry went through the
process only three months ago. But tho re-
markable thing about this event was that the
programme arranged By the landlord went de-
cidedly wrong. Civil Justice Steckler. before
whom the case came up. not only gave the two
women q chance to stay little longer under a
roof but he passed the hat" as Mra Henry
says. and got $50. which he divided between
them. They are not to be dispossessed until
tho day after Christmas

Court against C. T. Blauvelt Of Cresskill. N J.
Mr.. CULVER alleges that on Dot 9. 1897, Mn
Blauvelt owned COW, which he Ihsdksthersd
by thirty-foot chain to stake, and tho COW
browsed around the front lawn a. far as thj
chain permitted. The stake was driven dowl
near the edge OF the road. and thus the COW had
an opportunity to cross the roadway. OF which
she took advantage on the DAY In question.

AGAINST THH ooxEY PLAN
senator Sherman says the Resulting Paper

SennlOr bherman says the Resulting Paper
Money Would Make NJ alters Worse.
MAssILLoS. o.. Dec. Ex-senator Sherman
has written a letter to the Erenin0 Indspenlient
In which he deals with the Coxey plan" for re-
lleying tho hard times by the Issuance of $780,
100000 in Treasury notes. the money to be ex-
pended in the construction OF roads under the
direction Of the Secretary OF War. The Amerl-
can Federation OF Labor at Chicago has Gu
dorsed this plan. and Mr.. Coxsy is using his
private means TO promote it's success. Senator
bherman's letter follows:
The pitiable state Of the lAboring man OF
to-day is caused by the threatened blow at
American industries by a free trade tariff
This undoubtedly has caused the fearful dis
tress prevailing In the country. The remedy
proposed, of Issuing $500. 100000 OF United
States notes not redeemabls in coin. would be
q fearful failure.
The issue OF such mAss OF paper money
would restore the condition of affairs that eI-
isted In 1897 and 1873 The true remedy Is to
Insure the people good money IT unquestioued
and INTERCHANGEABLE val ne, based upon gold and
silver coin. and to maintain American indus
tries by wise taxation on foreign productions

OLNEYVILLE STRIKE CoLLAPsES
Over 5000 StriE ers Forced to Accept Term
They Refused n Fortnight AGO.

Providence. r l.. Dec 19.-The big strike at
Olneyville. the one at Central Falls. which was
allied with the one at Olneyville. and the In
cipient one undertaken at tho British Hosiery
works In Thornton. near olneyville, all col
lapsed yesterday. The strike at Olneyyllle
4o psepIe and p tSat TSoqnton 6
The big strike in Olneyville lasted ten weeks.
and the people have suffered great privations
during the past five weeks, many Of them
being without food. fuel. clothing and money.
The Olneyville strikers have gained conees-
eions from the manufacturers amounting TO
\ per cent rebate from the original cut OF
more than 20 per cent. These concessions
were made two weeks ago. but were refused as
ipsufilcient
The conditions OF trade offered no hope OF
the manufacturers getting orders TO force
them TO make greater concessions, and the
dull business among workers elsewhere who
might have been depended on for financial
aid. and the depletion OF their own treasury,
forced the strikers To submit TO the terms they
refused a fortnight ago.

The following circular has been
issued by the Y. NJ. c. A. It is
self-explanatory;
"The reading room OF this associa-
ton, TO the shelves Of which many
kind donations of books and jour
nails have, from time to time, been
made by friends in Honolulu and
elsewhere, and which is fairly sup
piled with periodical literature, is
constantly used by many visitors,
residents or strangers, sailors and
others. In order to increase the
efficiency of this important depart
ment of the association, the directors
are very anxious to add supply
of instructive and entertaining books.
with this object, it is proposed to
hold literary and social entertain
ment in the Y. NJ. G. A. Hall, on
Tuesday evening, March 18th, com
mencing at Z 80 O'Clock, at which no
money charge will be made for ad-
mission, but it is respectfully re-
quested that all ladies and gentle
men interested in the welfare Of the
young men of Honolulu will favor
the members with their presence,
and will make on that occasion a
donation Of book or books new or
old, suitable for addition to the
library. It is probable that many
private book cases contain books
which can be spared for this purpose
by their owners, and which would
form a useful and valuable addition
