McLaurin Makes Erlecds.
The Spartan5urg Daily Herald

The sparsan5urg Daily Herald in
its Introductory to the report Of Tues
days meeting, says:
1t has long been recognized that
this was an important meeting. 1t
was conceded on all sides that Irby's
strength in this race lies in Spartan.
burg The Piedmont Headlight has
been devoting ali its space to him for
weeks and in every issue recently the
Irby voters have been urged to turn
out in full force and cheer the great
"Ccmmoner."
1t was thought that a great many
would respond, and while McLaurin's
friends made not the slightest effort
conceding that Irby would have the
crowd here, it developed that of those
who come to howl McLaurin down,
many went home to vote for him. 1t
proved to be decidedly McLaurin
meeting More than half of the one
thousand persons present were
strongly for McLaurin before the ad.
journment, and great deal of this
would have been accomplished If
Senator McLaurin had not opened
his mouth The conspiracy against
him was so patent, the means en-
pIoyed SO unfair, the arguments
against him SO unjust and withal the
outrageous treatment he received at
the hands of the combination oppos-
ing him had its effect in his favor.
That Inherent desire for justice and
fair play made those who were in
doubt McLaurin's friends. When
the candidates attempted to charge
that McLaurin was for putting negro
labor in the factories, they went one
step too far, and instead ofhaving the
effect they desired, they made several
hundred votes for him
AS 5hole, the people behaved
beautifully, and while all were
cheered, all received respectful at
tention.

Pittsburg, Pa July 30.-After a

pected exodus from the Plum Creek,

dications were that the strikers had
won, but the dawn brought disap
pointment.
In the vicinity Of the Sandy Creek
and Oak Hill mines anxious inquiry
was made about Plum Creek. At the
two meetings last night the leaders
announced that the Plum Creek
miners would come out and that no
more coal would be dug until the
strike was won. The statements
must have been unfounded, for at
3 80 this morning the strikers. after
making demonstration at the Plum
Creek mines, went into camp at
Negly post Office. one half mile from
the tipple, and they remained until S
O'Clock and left only when they learn.

Bass for Honolulu.

The Fish Commissioners have ship
ped to Honolulu on the sailing vessel
Santiago, which left this city Monday
several cans of black bass, which were
taken from Temescal Lake, in Berke-
ley, says the San Francisco Call of
September 22d.
This is the first shipment Of fishes
made on a sailing vessel to any foreign
port by the Commission, and, conse-
quently, they feel quite interested in
the experiment.
The captain of the ship expects 10
make Honolulu in 16 days, and he is
sanguine that the bass will live
through the journey. The vessel has
a condensing engine on board, and
with proper care the bass, which are
fish of great vitality, will pull through
the voyage. The anglers who reside on
the island are also very much interest
ed in the venture, as once established
in the lakes the bass viii thrive be-
yond all question of doubt
Deputy Commissioner Cox has just
returned from Cisco, near which place
he has been stocking lakes and streams
with bass and trout.

EACH COSTS A LIFE.

1t is said that for every billiard ball
in the world a human life has been lost.
The ivory for their manufacture comes
from the densest jungles of Africa. As
described by witness, the hot and
damp atmosphere reeks with a hun
bred deadly diseases. and in the dark
and tangled vegetation hide fierce wild
animals. poisonous. snakes and loath-
some insects, whose bites are as fatal
as those of the most fearsome serpents.
In addition there is the common
chance of meeting with the vengeful
natives. who do not hesitate TO make
away with all intruders, and the al
ways present danger Of being lost in
the wilderness of tangled forests, path
less mountains and impossible mo-
raises. Thus nature conspires to shield
the big, but almost helpless. elephant,
and they only can engage in the trade
of supplying the material for ivory bill
lizard balls who take their lives in their
own hands.

A Checkered Career.

Daniel Aka, the young Hawaiian lad
sentenced yesterday to a term Of i'm
prisonment in Oahu Jail on the charge
Of larceny in the second degree, has a
very checkered career. He has made a
confession OF his shortcoming which
is thought to be only part of what
he has really accomplished.
The crime for which Aka was SEN
fenced yesterday was the larceny Of
two razors and a clipper from Shirati,
a Queen street barber
Aka's former home was in Koloa,
Kauai, while there he robbed his
grandmother, aunt and uncle of vari-
Gus sums OF money. Then he took SO
from one Chinaman, SIS from another,
loom) from a japanese, SIS from a
poi Chinanan at Waimea.
To show that Aka means business
when he is at work, an incident might
be cited. When he stole SIS from the
poi Chinaman at Wsimea, the pro-
prietor OF the place went TO police
headquarters TO complain. While he
was on the way Aka went into the
same place again and stole a bottle of
samshu.
The last offense he committed on
Kauai was the theft Of s35 from jap
anese, an employee Of Deputy Inspec-
tor General of Schools T. H. Gibson,
who was then teacher on Kauai. He
was brought to trial for this and two
other charges were entered against
him. Aka plead guilty to one charge,
received a sentence Of one years i'm

Ex.Detective Arrested.

Ex-Detective Huihui, dismissed from
service in the police department on
account of his many crooked ways.
was arrested yesterday morning on the
charge of vagrancy, having been
caught prowling about the residence
of another late at night without lawful
excuse. The detectives have been
watching Huihui very carefully as he
is under suspicion of being the man
who earns his livelihood by boring
holes and saving through the floors
of peoples houses and extracting there
from what cash or valuable articles
that might happen 10 be within reach.
II is understood that he told a friend
sometime ago of his intention to get
ahead Of the detectives because he
had been dismissed from service. From
conversation at the same time it SEEM
ed that Huihui's intention was TO com
init robbery indiscriminitely feeling
certain within himself that he never
would be caught.

NO CHANGE MADE.
Hawaiian Mission ChiIdrens So
cisty Hold Meeting.


The October meeting of the Hawai-
ian Mission Children's Society was
held at the house OF Mr.. and Mrs. A. F.
Cooke on last Saturday evening. It
had been generally understood that
the object Of the meeting was 10 dis
cuss the suggestion made at the May
meeting in regard to a change in the
constitution and character Of the So
ciety. After the ordinary routine bust
ness had been attended TO this was
made the order OF the evening. Quite
a number of the members expressed
their opinions freely. and the general
feeling seemed TO be that the time had
not come for any radical step TO be
taken. It was the prevailing opinion
that the present constitution made
provision for all immediate needs in
the way Of change, and until some
definite end, different from that for
which the society now exists. could be
proposed, there was no need OF dis
turbing the present order of things.
The constitution provides that any
person in active sympathy with the
object and aims Of the society may
become eligible to membership in it.
This makes IL possible for people of
other denominations and other connec-
tons than those represented by the
immediate descendants of the mission
aries TO become members. II was
thought by one speaker that an at
tempt to combine with other bodies for
the purpose Of carrying on some com
mon missionary enterprise would be
impractieable, as each body of Chris
tian workers had its own aims and OBJ
jects TO pursue, and would not care TO
turn aside from these for the sake of
other work less distinctively its own.
Another opinion expressed was that
there had been development and
change in the society in various ways
in the past, and of such development
the members were not afraid. The
constitution made provision for meet
ing It. It would be better. therefore
10 wait till in the natural order of ey-
olutfon some change seemed plainly 10
be called for, and then make it by a
regular constitutional process. II was
finally decided that the regular Male
h-EdIA OOnA4lLlEC SAOuAu Dc dppUIAL-
ed and that an earnest effort should
be made TO provide a program which
would be both interesting and in
structive, and that the society go on
according 10 the old order.
The interest Of the meeting was in
creased by the rendering Of a piece of
music by Miss PaTmelee and by re-
marks from Mr.. and Mrs Stewart, mis-
sionaries on their way to China.
On the invitation Of Mr.. and Mrs.
W A. Bowen, the society voted 10 hold
its next meeting al their home in Ma
kiki.

cuse for five men to become charges

FIELD GLASSES FOR POLICEMEN.

According to the Milwaukee Even
ing Wisconsin, field glasses are now
used by many policemen in that city.
They are found especially useful by
those whose beats include the tracks
below Juneau Park and Prospect ave
nue.. If there is suspicious movement
or an uncertain noise 40 feet away
down the bank, instead of making a
descent and effectually driving away
before his arrival whoever is there, he
produces his glass, levels it, and out
of what was only blackness he can pro-
duce figures, if there are any there.
The glasses are a good deal used, too,
for taking in comprehensively blocks
of sidewalk at time, and are as much
of an attribute of the police force as are
the clubs.

HERE'S A QUAINT IDEA.

Get an Italian vase made Of red clay
and soak it in water for a couple OF
days. Then sprinkle timothy grass
seed over all the outside, and in week
or 10 days the seed will sprout and
grow until the whole vase is covered
with a coat of the loveliest, siftest
green imaginable. Fill the vase with
water as soon as the seeds are sprink-
led on the outside, and always keep it
filed, also sprinkling the growing grass
frequently. Put roses in the vase, and
the result is positively ideal. When
the grass begins to fade, in three or
four weeks, it can be peeled of and
fresh seeds planted as before.
