Question of Rebuilding Homes.

The question of the restoration of de-
stroyed negro houses owned by the occu-
pants will be attended to later, as this
depends entirely upon the amount of
money in the treasurers hands otter
these more urgent matters are attended
to. The original sum of $1,000 proposed
to be raised will not suffice both pur-
poses, but $1,000, it is estimated, will
rebuild the negro cabins and do the
relief work that is now being done.
The disbursements are being made by
Mr.. W. s. Fleming, Chairman of the
Disbursing Committee, at his office on
North Garden street. This committee
gives orders for clothing on the Kings
Daughters, the two organizations co
operating in the work. Those desiring
relief should go to Mr.. Fleming's office
and get orders.
The committee has complete list OF
the names and losses of persons in the
path of the storm, having gone over to
the ground Immediately after the storm
and ascertained the facts. Therefore,
parties who we're in the storm and are
in want, need have no hesitancv in ap-
plying at once, and their needs will be
Immediately relieved.

The appeal was one of the most
dramatic ever heard iu the Criminal
Court. The prisoner stood holding
to the witness char during the de-
livery of this appeal; his body
trembled from head TO foot, but his
eyes were never lowered from the
ceiling. The jury gave Doss three
years Imprisonment, but he took an
appeal. There are stili three other
cases against him, wuIeh will proba-
oily be taken up next week.

Card of Thanks.

To those who, amid the storm and
darkness of that dreadful night, so
nobly went to the scene of desolation
and despair and reached out the hand of
succor to the dead and dying, our hearts
overflow with gratitude. God bless
every hand that was tenderly lain on our
poor brother, and reward every deed of
kindness done during that fearful night.
and though we are now seeing through
the veil but dimly and wondering at the
why and wherefore of these dreadful
things, yet above all we feel the power
of Divine Providence, which "doeth all
things WE'LL" :
To our friends who came to us in our
darkest hour, we thank them. We
thank them for every grasp of the hand
every tear of sympathy, and every
flower that was laid with love on his
casket. The prayer so fervently ut
tered in our behalf, we feel, went
straigh to a throne or mercy. Tie
troubled waters are Gained and sweet
voice whispered, peace be STILL"

HAD A PREsENTIMENT.
An Old Negro Woman Saves Hersel
from the Storm.

An old negro woman living in a cabin
on Mr.. John Thomas place owes the con-
tinued existence of her and her children,
perhaps, to very peculiar circumstances.
The day before the tornado she had a
.spresentiment" that storm was com
ing that night and would tear her house
away. Going to Mrs. Thomas, she told
of her foreboding, and asked that she be
allowed to bring her children to the
kitchen and sleep there. Mrs. Thomas
did not think anything of the matter,
but granted her wish.
That night the old negro woman's
cabin was the first building struck by
the storm, and it was completely de-
molished, but she and her children were
left secure in the house where they had
taken refuge. She appeared before the
Relief Committee Saturday, with her
ewes filed with tears and so overcome
with emotion, that she could hardly
speak q word.

Phil Branson. a very capable comedi-

much applause. Branson has established
himself in the United states as "A first-rate
comedian and Honolulans appreciate him
in his rightful place. he was deserving
OF high praise last night. The whole
performance was smoother than most OF
the operas given and should not fail TO
attract Big houses.
The chorus was fairly good and the cos
tuning was all that could be desired.
