CHARITY WORK
Report of Manager Of
Associated Charities
Splendid Institution Which Has Done
Much for the Needy = The
Thanksgiving Dinner.

President Dole occupied the chair at
the meeting of the Associated Chari
ties of Hawaii, he'd at the managers
Office yesterday The managers report
showed progress in all directions
There had been twenty applications for
assistance during the month, fifteen of
which had been Investigated by the
manager Several cases of great desti-
tuition had been found, notably a fam
lily of eight coming from another ISL
and with the father and one of the chill
dren sick with typhoid fever. They
had absolutely nothing of their own
but the clothing they wore.
The manager has secured nine stu
atoms for those applying for work.
The association would be under great
obligation to any persons needing
white labor if they would let the man
ager know by telephone or letter. An
interesting fact was mentioned that
there has never been an application for
assistance from any Hawaiians, Chi
nese or Japanese.
We find our work steadily growing
and becoming better understood in the
community. Every application for as
sistance is carefully considered, and,
if necessary, is investigated. Such
temporary relief is given as will enable
the applicant to help himself, or he
will be placed in the care of the prop
er society for further aid. In almost
all cases the officers of the various be-
nevolent societies are working in har-
mony with the Associated Charities
and seem to appreciate the benefit OF
our assistance.
Another interesting incident was
mentioned by the manager, of the gen.
erous Thanksgiving donation given fol
the poor by the children of the Kaiu-
| lani School, of which Mr.. Armstrong
Smith is principal. The suggestion
was made to the children, and early III
the week the gifts began to pour IL
until they amounted to several wagon
loads of everything eatable that coulo
| be thought of.
The manager, with another officer Of
the Board. took it in several carriage.
loads, distributing the donations te
the poor until fully thirty needy per,
sons had an ample Thanksgiving din
ner.
| The manager finds the greatest de
mand for a cheap clearinghouse. The
only two places are always full-tht
| Sailors Home and the Mechanics
Home. There is also the greatest neet
of comfortable places where such in
valids as are not received in the hos
pitfalls of the city can be cared for. This
| is a need which has often been men
! toned to the community, but which
thus far has not taken tangible form

ra,bott & Palmer's cotton Letter

By private wire from Fairchild & Hobson.
 New Orleans, August 3.-Engish cables this morning showed some improvement over last night, futures being quoted half point shigher at opening, closing full point higher. Spots there were in moder- ate demand at unchanged prices. The fact that it was possible to advance futures with the poor spot demand was not ex- pected on this side, and it goes without saying that with sales 12,0O0 or 15,00O results would have been in order. Construing the position of Liverpool to be favorable the local market opened at the outside figure of last night, $40 for October, advancing generally during the early session until 5.45 was reached for this option. which level. however, the high of day as a relapse set in shortly thereafter. which was as pronounced as was the advance. The reason assigned for the depression that followed was attributed to poor demand for spots locally, which are expected to be reduced. A new bale of Louisiana cotton is expected here today.

In Court Again.

James Herman and Math Krause
are having some fun once more.
Krause owns some horses. Tuesday
they entered the yard OF Herman and
managed to get into his garden.
They began eating his corn and
otherwise destroying his vegetable
stuffs. Herman caught the horses
and locked them in his barn yard.
He then came down to Judge Shell
don and acked that the justice take
steps to have the damage to his
garden appraised. Sheldon ap.
pointed H. e. Van Busklrk, M.
Roberts and Peter Kingen as a com.
mittee OF three to investigate the
trouble and ascertain the amount OF
damage done. When they reported
this afternoon they considered that
SO would cover his loss Herman then
turned the horses over to the pound
master, who is not to give them to
Krause until he pays Herman for his
loss, committee expenses and other
costs.

People are contributing Internal
machines to Dreyfus' attorneys.

Early in the row between the
mayor and the majority of
the council, Mayor Vasaly en-
gagged in a lengthy dialogue
with Alderman Martin during q ses-
sion of the council, and delivered to
that body what he termed'a verbal
message. He explained in detail that
it took five city officials to pass reso-
lutions. He told the council it took
the favorable rates of four aldermen
and the approval Of the mayor to
fix the number of policemen and
their salaries, or else five aldermen
without the mayors approval. He
repeated that time and again to the
council. He now appears to think
that about three aldermen and the
mayor can enact res olutions and pay
bills.

The Gear Is Satisfied,

Naturally there was not a little curl
Osity to know just what the czar of
Russia thought of the work Of the in
ternational peace conference at The
Hague, Of which he was the initiator.
This curiosity has just been gratified
by the publication Of an official commu-
nication In the organ Of the st. Peters
burg government. While the nominal
object Of the conference, that Of re-
ducing military ornaments, was not
accomplished, the car is declared to
be well satisfied with the work done.
The official communication recites that
it was found necessary Ito postpone
a definite settlement of the complicated
question of the suspension Of arma-
ments until fully elucidated by the
different governments" This Is Pick
wickian way Of saying that the ques-
ton was dismissed as visionary and,
for the present, beyond the scope of
practical craftsmanship.
For all that, the car recognizes that
results of the conference are decidedly
in the direction the worlds peace and
that, If it has done nothing else, it has,
through elaboration and calm discus
sion, insured appeals from passion and
prejudice to reason and justice in the
consideration of international disputes.

A proposition to COLOMBO negro labor
ers and send them to Cuba and Porto
Rico has caused considerable concern
In those islands. There appears, how
ever, to be no authenticity behind tho
suggestion, and the people of the is
lands need have no apprehension that
they will be flooded with colonized
labor from the United Safes. Among
the whites in Cuba and Porto Rico
negro immigration Is regarded much
as Chinese immigration is looked upon
here. For some years there has been
an influx Of negroes, particularly into
Porto Rico, and these, by their supe-
rior strength and industry, are crowd
ing out the white laborers and threaten
to dominate the island. These negroes
are not from the United States, but
from Haiti, the Danish West Indies,
Jamaica and other neighboring islands.
The negroes Of the south do not want
to go to the West Indies, at least as
colonized laborers, and there Is no law,
nor is there any danger Of one being
enacted or even considered, by which
they could be removed thither against
their will. There is nothing likely to
take them there except the induce
ments held out by the Cubans them
selves ~.
