A Dream Causes Death.

In Hartford, Conn, man was so dis appointed to find that dream he had was unreal that he killed himself. He was Whiting G. Miner, 90 years old, a retired merchant, and committed sui eide by shooting himself. Miner, the previous night, dreamed that he was young again and vigorous, and that his family were all around him and happy. Disappointed to awake and find that he had only been dreaming, the old man began to brood, and In the afternoon he was found dead in his room, shot through the head.

Admiral Sampson bombarded the for tifications at Santiago for two months and they were afterwards found to be practically uninjured. Commodore Schley fought Cervera's squadron for two hours and destroyed or sunk every one of the enemy's ships. These two facts show one of two things, namely: That Sampson did not know how to reduce land Notifications or that such defenses are impregnable to assaults from the sea. In all probability the latter conclusion is nearer the truth, and, while 1t will not flatter the pride of the navy, 1t will give the people of the coast cities of this country com fortable assurances of comparative safety from destruction by foreign fleets.

Lynching Is murder, neither more Tor less, and the state of Texas has set other states. both North and South, a good example, by making it so upon the statute-books. The same law also provides that lynchers wSen put on trial shall be tried out of the county where the crime was committed, and that sheriffs who fail to protect pris- oners from lynching-parties shall be removed from office. The Southern states are taking the lead in giving practical effect to the disapprobation which all law-abiding citizens feel for lynch law.

HOUSE CLEANING TODAY
THE HOSE INSTEAD OF THE BAND
is PLAYING.
Nearly all the Troops Taken From
the Transports While General
Scrubbing Goes On.

The streets have been martial this
morning with marching troops and
drilling companies. From all three
of the transports in the harbor all the
men who could possibly be spared
were taken off in companies and
marched up and down the streets,
partly for exercise and partly for
drill.
\ great many of the company COM
manders devoted a large part of the
time to practicing their men in the
manual of arms. All along King
street and Alakea street, along the
water front, and even on Beretania
street, companies were drilling, and
every company had crowd of inter-
ested spectators watching it.
While the troops were thus away
the ships were all given a thorough
scrubbing and cleaning from hold to
quarter deck. The hose played in
stead of the band, and the melody Of
cleanliness it rendered was as in
spring as the bugle call to action.
On none of the ships were visitors
allowed except on business. All the
serious sick were removed to hospitals
in the city. As compared with the
usual conditions the transports look
ed deserted today
This afternoon there was little
drilling. but general shore leave was
given the men.
Tomorrow being the last day of
the month there will be general mus
ter of all the regiments and change
of quarters among the men so far as
possible.
On the Pennsylvania large number
of additional hunks have been plac-
ed between decks so as to leave free
the smoking room which up to now
has been used as quarters for the
men.

tions have been received by the boys

GARMSHEES ARE IGNORED
WEEPING AND WAILING AMONG
BILL COLLECTORS.
Government Refuses to Recognize
and Claims Under the Old Garnishee
Act-Test Case to be Brought.

There is trouble i'll the camp of
the bill collectors today. Salary war
rants have been paid in full to the in
cumbents and no notice whatever has
been paid to garnishee judgments,
eight months ago.
The garnishee law provides that 25
per cent of the salary of a govern
ment employe may be sequestered for
the benefit of his creditors and the
person paying out the money is di-
rected by an order of court to pay
this 25 per cent over to the creditor
named in the order.
1t has been customary for a gar
nishee to run in this way for several
months, before being entirely salts
! fed
A prominent bill collector said this
morning: THE government has not
only refused to recognize garnish-
ments obtained since the passage of
| the Audit Act, but in two instances
to my own knowledge has refused to
recognize garnishees obtained six and
eight months ago. One of these is
| in the Interior Office and the other
| in the Marshal's. In both of these
cases it will take the men several
months to pay what they owe under
the judgments hold but today both
of them have been paid in full and
the men have laughed at me when
demanded payment of the monthly
pro rata for which ! hold judgments
and orders of court directing the Min
lister of Interior and the Marshal to
pay to me and hold back out of the
salaries. These officials say that they
have nothing to do with the salaries
now If this is not a clear case of re.
troactive legislation then I am badly
fooled. At any rate we shall test the
matter in the courts"

many men can boast of, but John Mott
can, for his father passed his ninetieth
birthday on July Goth. When Mr.. Mott
heard from the old gentleman by last

that was going on, and required no
one to look after him.
Mr.. Mott, senior, was born in Bris-

of that city, though he has been a
resident of New York since 1852. Mr..

EVA WILL QUINTUPLE ITS
CAPITAL STOCK.
Will ask the Government for Increase
of Charter Rights so as to Raise
Capital to Adequate Amount.

The Eva Plantation Company met
this morning and decided to increase
the stock up to $2,000,000. Up to the
present the capital stock of the plan
tation has been 81 100000 with privi-
lege, according to the present char
ter, to raise it to the amount decided
on.
j. b. Atherton, on being interview
ed, stated that this was no watering
of the stock. The increase was on
the actual value of the property 1t
has been an exceptionally successful
plantation and the value of the real
estate and the many rights belonging
to it as well as the natural improve
ments have increased the value to the
present amount. AS mere matter
of fact the plantation has been assess
ed for taxation purposes far ahead
of even its present value.
1t is the intention of the company,
and the directors have been instruct
ed to make the application, to raise
the present capitalization to $5,000,000,
and there will be ample cause for do
ing so.
Eva plantation is among the most
successful that has ever been organic
ed here. In its early days it had
some serious ups and downs and it
came near wrecking some of the most
solid of Hawaiian fortunes, but it
has weathered all storms and is now

DECLARES FOR FULL AND EQUAL
SUFFRAGE.
First Organization in the Islands on
the Lines of American National
Parties-Much Enthusiasm Shown.
Hiln. .InlY d.

Hilo, July %.
Hilo has a fully organized Republi-
can club. 1t was formed last Mon
day evening at largely attended
meeting at the Court House. The
meeting was in response to call is
sued by a number of citizens. The
band was in attendance and there was
much enthusiasm.
William Nanatta was made tempo
rary chairman and j. T. Stacker of
the Hawaii Herald temporary Sec
retary. A permanent organization was
effected by the adoption of the report
of the committee on permanent or
ganization, consisting of G. f. Little,
w. S. Wise, c. II. Brown, L. A. An
drews and H. c. Austin. The officers
of the permanent organization are:
President, r. B. Williams; vice presi-
dents, William Vanatta, f. n. Holmes
and C.. C. Kennedy; secretary, j. I.
Stacker; treasurer, Walter a. Hardy;
executive COMMITTEES, w. w. Goodale,
John A. Scott, Gilbert F. Little, c. H.
Brown, Joseph Vierra, G. F. Alfonso,
w. S. Wise, B. II. Brown and William
Nalimu.
The constitution and by laws pre-
sented by the committee in English
Portuguese and Hawaiian versions,
were adopted. This constitution pied
ges the organization to the principles
of the Republican party.
On the subject of suffrage the club
thus declares itself:
"The members of the Hilo Republi-
can club recognize the full and equal
right of Hawaiians, Hawaiian born
Americans and Hawaiian born Euro
peans to the full privileges of fran
chse with the citizen of the United
States and by this section declare
themselves as unequivocally in favor
of such franchise and inalterably op-
posed to curtailment in the right of
such persons to the slightest degree.
1--WE believe the aliens who voted
under the Constitutions of 1897 and
1894, should have the rights of citi-
zenship upon taking the oath of allie
glance to the United States"
AS to the political action in local
matters the club declares:
Each member pledges himself to
assist in keeping the ballot pure and
in the selection of candidates for city.
county and territorial Office, to con
fine himself to such men of the party
as he believes will administer the af-
fairs to the best interests of the mas
ses."
Over 100 have already enrolled
| themselves as members of the club,
and it is expected that this number
will be more than doubled within a
short time.

S5OOOOOO PLANTATION HLO REPUBLICAN CLUB HELP FOR THE RED CROSS
HOW MANY CAN ASSIST THE BOYS
IN BLUE.
What Style of Articles are Needed by
the Nurses for Their Patients and
Where to Send Them.

The Red Cross Society has three
representatives on board the trans
ports in port. At the head of them
is DR.. f. j. Hart. This gentleman
was for five years in the government
service in Arizona, attending, as he
says, to soldiers and Indians" and
has had altogether fifteen years in
that sub-tropical climate. Moreover,
he has a thorough knowledge of Span
ish, which he can speak and write
with tluency. The other members of
the Red Cross that have been sent
out with this expedition are Eugene
Rosenthal and Leon A. Crowther, who
are accredited nurses of the society.
The two nurses are men of expert
ence. Rosenthal has been out in
Russia, Greece, Turkey and India, on
behalf of the society. He was on the
ship Cowper that took provisions to
the starving people of Hindoostan a
year or so ago. He has certificates
from many parts of the world where
he has worked. Crowther is a medical
student and an experienced nurse. He
has been with DR.. Hart for many
years and thoroughly understands
the practical part of his work. All
the gentlemen give their services gra-
tbs to the cause.
In future. if there is a future and
peace is not proclaimed, member
of the Red Cross will accompany each
transport. The Red Cross man in
charge carries a certain amount of
stores for the sick soldiers. Besides
the stores he carries with him the va
rious State societies will forward
stores to be used when the hospital is
started in Manila.
The following is the list of stores
started with on the Peru, and viii
enable people here to judge what the
Red Cross people need. Dr. Hart says
no one can know how useful the lime
juice and the clam juice are to the
seasick soldiers. OF this everything
has been used up, and the other stores
have been seriously drawn upon. The
ladies of Honolulu have promised to
help as much as they can, and there
is no doubt but that when the list is
understood there are plenty of peo-
pie who will send something to aid it,
