SAM HALLS SORROWS.

Departure From Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 6.-Sam M. Hall,
who has gained more celebrity as an as
thete and social paragon during the past
week than commonly befalls an ordinary
mortal in the allotted four score years and
ten, has changed his mind in regard to
his alleged intention to enter the social
arena of the metropolis, to vie with Mr..
Ward McAllister for the palm of social
leadership. Instead Of whetting his ap-
petite for the glittering conquest of social
gatherings, the column upon column of
newspaper comment that has been pro-
voked in New York and else
where by the recent announcement of
his purpose, has caused him to change his
mind and to his friends to-day he an
nounced that he will not 20 to New York
now. Mr. Hail is very indignant at the
newspapers, which have tried to make
him appear ridiculous in the eyes of
society. He denies that he had designs
upon MIR. McAllister's septer, but in
tended only to lead humble sort of life
in the metropolis. But the newspapers
took him up for some reason and now he
sighs for lodgein some vast wilderness
instead of the brilliant scenes of conquest
IN society. just where MIR Hall will find
seclusion he will not now even intimate to
his best friends.
MAY BE SHORT OF FUNDS.
But aside from the funny stories that
Mr. Hall has been furnishing recently, it
is alleged that the aeal cause of his desire
to get away from Atlanta has not yet
been touched upon. His friends
say that his reason for desiring
to leave the society he has
known so long and the haunts he has fire.
quented that he has practically found the
bottom to his purse, and that rather than
take seat in the pit, to be looked down
upon from the gay boxes where he once
reigned. he prefers to auction off his be-
longings, pay up his debts and then hide
his social fall by seeking a new home
among people who were not acquainted
with him in the glory of his conquests
There appears to be more
fact than fancy in this view of
Mr.. Halls affairs. His father, who
has always been opposed to his society
career, but who nevertheless has put up
the money it is said brought on the pres
ent situation by shutting down on the al
lowance. Then Mr.. Hall is reported to
have had losses in the famous "Riche-
lieu" cafe, and this made change in his
mode of life more urgent than ever
Hence his $4,000 worth of bric-a-brac,
his bob-tailed horses and outlandish rigs
had to go under the hammer At any
rate, whether from necessity or desire,
Mr.. Hall is just now the most talked
about society man in the country.

TRANSPORTATION OF MONEY.
The Effort to Get a Cheaper Express
Rate Fails.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Some time ago
bids were asked for at the treasury de-
partment for tie transportation of gov
ernment moneys, at which the only bid
ders were the Adams Express Company
and the present contractors, the United
States Express Company, The commits
sion appointed by the department to deal
with the matter has reported that the
amounts asked in the bids are in excess
of those now charged. As the bids were
asked for the purpose of decreasing the
rate, the treasury department has
informed the bidders that no
new contracts will be entered
into and the present contract with the
United States Exchange Company will
stand. The government can cancel its
contract with the express company by a
six months notice, and before the bids
were opened notice was sent to the
company informing them of the govern
ment's purpose so to do. In view Of the
fact that the rate now charged was not
under bid, the revocation Of the contra ct
has been withdrawn by the department.

the rendezvous of the revolutionist Sici-
lians living in Rome.
MOB LEADERS ARRESTED.
Dispatches from Palermo say that the
mob leaders in nearly all the
Sicilian towns, which have been
disturbed by riots were ar
rested last night, Evidence was
found by the police in several cities
that the German socialists, as well as the
Frenchmen, have spent money in Sicily
TO spread the propaganda of their cause.
All the arrests of socialist leaders have
awed the ignorant revA, utionists greatly.
Deputy De F'elici was regarded as
infallable and invulnerable by his
most ignorant followers, and
his incarceration has injured
his prestige notieeably. The effect was
apparent in the government reports re-
ceived from Sicily to day and private
dispatches confirm the official statement
that the situation on the island is much
more satisfactory,
RIGHT OF MEETING SUSPENDED.
The manifesto issued by Gen. Moro
di Lavriano, prefect of Palermo, suspends
the right of meeting. A decree prolone-
ing bills of exchange two to monthsis ex-
pected.
Napoleon Col Ajanni, socialist deputy for
Castrogiovanni, Sicily, has conferred with
Gen. di Lavriano, and, with the prefects
sanction, he sent out manifesto
to all the disturbed districts. In
this manifesto Col. Ajanni urges the peo-
pie to restore order as the government
is engaged in bettering the condition Of
the working men. and deserves, at least
for time, their confidence People
breaking the peace, he says, are fools or
traitors. This manifesto, probably, will
help the government greatly in calming
the people.
The army class of 1868 has been called
out for service.
PALERMO QUIET.
Palermo is still quiet, despite the re-
curing rumors that the provincial revo-
lutions are gathering to attack the city
Many families in the city have been so
alarmed by these unfounded rumors that
they have stored provisions in their eel
lars and have hidden their small articles
of value. Several manifestos from small
groups of socialists have been issued to-
day. In both Milan and Naples the So
cialists have repealed the protests against
the government course in Sicily.
A train carrying troops bound for
Sicily collided with another passenger
train at Asciano, near Schema, to-day.
Three men were killed and several
others, most Of them soldiers, were in
iured.

About 1910 Voters on the Island
of Oahu.
NAMES OF THE TARDY SIGNERs.
One Precinct With Only One Voter, but
His Ballot Must be Taken at the Ex-
Pense OF Fifty DolIars-Only Forty
Eight Natives Signed Last Three Days

The registration books were closed
Saturday and it will be three, years
before they are opened again. I The
last certificate was numbered 1915 but
as several blanks had been imper-
fectly filled out and consequently des-
troyed, this number does not repre-
sent exactly the total of persons regis
tered on this island. DR.. Rodgers
thinks about dozen certificates were
destroyed so there are about 1880 indi-
viduals on Oahu possessing papers
that entitle them to vote.
1t has been found upon cursory
examination of the books at the Exc
cutive Building that several of the
persons registering have not complied
with the provision regarding the pay
ment of taxes, and it is believed a
careful perusal of the records will
show that dozen or more are not
entitled to certificates for this reason.
islands have registered in Honolulu
believing their names could be trans
ferred but this privilege, it is said,
will be denied them.
So when the list is weeded of nom
taxpayers and ''other islanders" it
will be found, it is believed by the
board, that the total number of voters
on Oahu is about 1910.
During the last three days, Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday 2O4 men
signed. Prior to Thursday the names
were rosted on the walls OF the Regis
tration Boards room, but this was
discontinued because of rush of busi-
ness and the following names of regis
tered voters have not yet been made
public:

eight are native Hawaiians, sixty
were born in the United States, thirty
four in Great Britain or Colonies,
twenty in Germany, twenty-eight in
Portugal, and fourteen in other coun-
tries. The percentage of Hawaiians
registering during these last three
days is greater than during the other
period.
The Registration Board has been in
continuous session since July Goth,
with the exception of Sundays and
four days occupied in travelling.
Twelve days the books were open at
other points on Oahu, and the remain
der of the time they have been here.
In the seventh precinct of the Fourth
District, there is an amusing condi-
ton. The books were open there for
two days, but only one man regis
tered. That one man, however, has
the right to vote in that precinct, and
the necessary election machinery
must be put in operation for his bene-
fit.
So, at a cost of $50, judges and clerks
will proceed to this precinct on elec-
tion day, remain during the hours re-
quired by law, and receive this one
mans ballot.

other islands will probably all C Ne

WRECKAGE COMING ASHORE.
Natives at Koolau Securing Gin
and Clothes.

For twenty miles along the coast
of Koolau articles from the wreck
G. n. Wilcox are cast up on the
shore. Few of the boxes contain
ing dry goods are whole and many
broken boxes come in.
Pieces of cloth, shirts, spools of
cotton, few boxes of tools, are
among the articles found. A case
of lace curtains was obtained by
one native, but it was subse-
quently returned to the purchasers
of the wreck. A box was seen at
one point in the surf and a number
of natives swan out to secure it.
Finding that it was a case Of gin
and finding that if it was taken
ashore it would be seized by some
officers, they drank as much of the
gin as they could hold before
bringing it to land. Many of the
natives are now clad in shirts and
socks which came from the wreck
All are interested in the legal as
poets of the case, and long debates
are held upon the law of salvage.
a number of people patrol the
shore day and night in the hope OF
securing some valuable article.

WIDEMANN'S MISSION.
American Newspapers Guessing
About His Plans.

Newspapers in the United States
are still harping on the absurd idea
that Liliuokalani intends asking
the Government of that country
for large sum of money as dam
ages for the loss of her throne, and
that this is the reason for the trip to
that country of HI. A. Widemann.
The Chronicle of a recent date has
the following:
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.--Nothing is
said at the Department of Justice on
the subject of Queen Liliuokalani's
States for $500, ZOO. damages because of
the loss of her throne. Certain it is
that the Department of Justice could
not entertain the claim, nor would
any United States Court give it a
hearing. Her one remedy, if she be-
lieves this country to blame for her
political overthrow, will be to petition
Congress and ask for the passage of a
bill making an appropriation to pay
her damages. The votes in Congress
during the last session on the subject
OF Hawaii would Indicate that her
chances for favorable action are very
slim.
1t is evident the judge has not
said much in the States, and that
the newspapers are hard at work
guessing about his mission.
However, the ADVERTISER stated
correctly what he left Honolulu for,
and the next news from Mr.. Wide
mann will, in all probability, be
that he has taken a steamer from
New York, and is en- route for Ger
many and Great Britain to ask
these powers to intercede for the
ex-queen.
1t is also evident the Government
here was not posted regarding the
plans OF the judge prior to his de-
parture, and did not instruct Mr..
Thurston to watch him. Following
is a dispatch regarding the latter {:
PORTLAND (Or.), Sept. 25.-Hawaii-
an Minister Lorin A. Thurston is in
this city on visit 10 relatives. He
will go from here TO Washington,
where he will arrive in about two
weeks.
