ANNEXATION CLUB.
Addresses by Prominent Speakers
This Evening.

This Evening.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Honolulu Annexation Club will be held
at the Drill Shed at 1870 this evening,
and the public is cordially invited to
attend. The committee, to whom was
assigned the duty of inviting speakers,
reports Hon. II. Z. Cooper, Minister Of
Foreign Affairs: Hon. Cecil Brown,
Hon. J. a. McCandless, and Hon. A.
Ct. NJ. Robertson as having consented 20
address the meeting.
Minister Cooper had opportunities
while abroad TO feel the pulse of the
prominent people over there regarding
this most important subject, and it is
his intention, so ii is stated, TO let the
public know what he learned.
Hon. Cecil Brown being close friend
of Minister Hatch, may have informa-
ton that will be interesting TO the
public. if he will tell it. He has been
an ardent anneXationist since the
movement started, and will probably
speak from the standpoint of an Ha-
waiian citizen with large interests.
When Mr. Brown talks, it is usually to
the point, and he leaves nothing to the
IL.
marks will be listened to with a great
deal of interest.
Senator McCandless has worked for
annexation here and abroad since jan
uary, 1898 He has always been a
staunch supporter of the measure. He
is thoroughly we'll posted on the sub
ject, and can fluently speak upon the
good annexation to the United States
Will bring TO all classes of people.
Representative Robertson is the
youngest member of the Legislature, a
lawyer of renown and a man who has
already made his mark in politics in
Hawaii His record is that of a man
aggressive in all matters tending to
advance the interests of the people on
the Islands. His arguments are based
upon facts CLEANED through close study
Of the situation. He will give his rea-
sons why he believes annexation will
be best for the people.
The regular business of the club will
be attended to by the officers, and the
matter of selecting an executive Off
Ger will be disposed of. While it will
be in no sense a mass meeting, it is
expected that the public will attend and
hear what is to be said on the subject.

MORNING STAR CAPTAIN.
A Long Voyage for Five Minutes
OF Business.

"A foNd III ~
OF Business.
The Morning Star is expected to re-
turn some time in March. Before sail
ing on the present voyage Captain
Garland sent his resignation to the
American Board, to take effect upon
has return. Captain Bray will take
command of the Star on her arrival
here.
Captain Bray will go to San Francis
co on the Australia to have his mas
ter's certaificate renewed. This is nee
essary, on account of a section of re-
cent law, which sets forth: THAT no
renewal of a licensed steamboat Off
GERS certificate can be granted unless
the applicant is at the time personally
within the United States" This neces-
states a trip to the Coast for a matter
of five minutes business. Capt Bray
deplores the fact that a consular Ger
tificate will not suffice.

"Georgiana," said Mr.. Dalrymple, ac-
cording to the Cleveland Leader, "it

answered. You wouldn't wear the shirt

whether you had lace curtains al the win

pepsia, melancholy, or what is supposed
to be liver or kidney affection or heart
disease, when in reality the whole trouble
is with the reproductive organs This
delicate and intricate organism and the
rational treatment for its peculiar all
