JOHN K. HENDRICKS
The Great First District Lawyer
Will Speak,
Assigned to HopkinsvilIe Next
Monday and Has Ac-
cepted.

Although Gov. McCreary and
Gov. Beckham cannot speak here
Monday, by reason of another con-
flicting engagement, the State Com
mittee has assigned one of the best
speakers in the state to Hopkins
vile.
Hon. John K. Hendricks will
make his first speech of the cam
paign at the court house at 2o'clock
and it goes without the saying that
his effort will be great one. Col,
Hendrick is conceded to,be one Of
the foremost orators" of Kentucky
and lawyer with few equals in
the State. He was in Frankfort
during the reign of crime that cul-
minated In the murder of the Gov
ernor and will be prepared to
speak as an eye witness about the
lawless era of Taylorism.
The committee has positive as
surances that Col. Hendricks has
accepted the assignment and will
certainly speak.

JIM HOWARD
Tells His Story on the WitDess s
Stand.

Frankfort, Sept. 20.-Jim Howard
was on the witness stand for five
hours at Frankfort yesterday, and
will be recalled to-day for addition
al 'cross=eXamination. 1t is the
general opinion of those who heard
his testimony that it did not help
his case. He attempted to estab
lish an alibi by claiming that he
was at the Board of Trade Hotel
when Gov. Goebel was shot, but the
cross examination brought out
many weak points in his state
ment. He also made a number of
damaging admissions, and at times
his memory was poor and he was
perceptibly confused. In nearly
every instance he admitted having
talked with the witnesses for the
prosecution at the times and places
they mentioned in their testimony
but de6ed the incriminating por-
tions of their testimony.

No Trouble Has Occurred at Any

Scranton, Pa, Sept. 20.-It was
estimated last night that about 70
per cent of the mine workers in the
Pennsylvania anthracite region
were idle. President Mitchell, of
the Mine Workers Union, says the
number out is now over 1861
Two more of the Philadelphia and
Reading collieries have closed. An
interesting meeting was held at
Jeddo yesterday, in which Strike
Leader Mitchell, Operator Markle
and Father Phillips met in a
spirited debate. Strike leaders
claim that the Markle mines will be
closed to-day as a result of the meet
ing. The expected trouble in Ly-
ken's valley did not materialize, the
leaders calling off the miners
march because of the bad feeling
between union and nonunion men.
At Shamokin, a committee of miners
is making an effort to secure ar
bitration, but there is no other
move toward a settlement.

Y. H. G. A. Sunday Talk.

At the meeting OF the Y. NJ. c. A.
yesterday afternoon Rev. G. l.. Pear
son addressed the audience upon "Du-
ty." 1t should be mans highest aim In
life, he said, to perform his duty to
God, to himself and to his fellow-men.
1t was cowardly for man to attempt
to shift his responsibilities TO other
shoulders. He must meet them like q
man. A God-fearing and God-loving
man could always do his duty. When
a man had committed an act OF sin
toward his God, and fed from his fell
low-men to other parts of the world.
he was only fleeing from himself, and
1t did him little good to attempt 10 gel
away from himself. His duty was TO
love God, and call upon Him in his
time of trouble, not fee from Him.
Several testimonies were given by
men present at the meeting, of their
former lives of sin, and how since re-
ceiving Gods grace, they were able to
perform their duty as men with per
feet contentment.

lists who were overturned in the heavy
surf which, to an experienced eye, was
very dangerous for the popular sport
Opposite the Hotel Annex, a surfing
party of six were suddenly capsized
and all had to cling to the boat until
assistance from the shore arrived. a
lone canoeist padding far out among
the breakers met with a similar mis-
fortune, and he was unable to right his
boat. He remained In his perilous posi-
ton for nearly half hour before being
taken In by another canoe. Other mis-
haps occurred which severely tried the
nerves of the shore on-lookers and dis

for lncurabIes.

There is a grand opportunity offered
funds for the establishment and en-
dowment Of the Hospital for incur
ables.
Minister Young. Of the Interior De-
partment. striving to induce others to
follow his example, has prepared the
following communication to be address,

the proposition with favor:
HONOLULU. April s6. 1900.
My Dear Sir:-F'or many years a
great want has been felt in Honolulu.
and throughout the Islands generally,
IN the nature Of a hospital, or nome to-
incurablos, who are of various nation
alities. resident in hawai- lei.
The Board of Health has recently
published a report OF the mortuary of
Honolulu for the months during which
the plague has been causing SO much
uneasiness. which shows that the num-
Der of deaths from consumption is
enormously greater than from any
other cause.
The increase of lung trouble is
marked amongst the native Hawailans,
which, | presume, is due to the fact
that they have neither the knowledge
nor conveniences to prevent It's spread
among them. See extracts DIR. Woods
repOrt-enclosed.
Most OF the afflicted people belong to
the poorer classes. and they are unable
TO provide means of segregation and
the proper intelligent care OF their
unfortunate sick ones.
AN attempt was made Ia Honolulu
over two years ago to raise money TO
organize an institution for the care and
treatment OF incurables. but the matter
fell To the grounu, partly because there
was no endowment fund to guarantee
its permanence after organization.
The Council Of State las Votcd an
amount of $4,000 for Hospital for In
curables. conditioned on an endowment
fund Of 100000 being raised by the citi-
zens
1T is sought to have five parties sub
scribe $4,000 each toward said endow-
ment fund. and I have placed my own
name at the head of the subscription
list for this amount.
Further, 1t is sought TO have twenty
parties subscribe $1,000 each toward a
fund to provide buildings add equip
ment for said hospital. This list have
also headed.
"a third list for subscribers for any
amount placed opposite the name is
also provided.
May / ask you to authorize some
one in Honolulu to insert your name on
one of those lists. the first mentioned
" possible, so that the much needed
hospital may be established"

Ran Away With a Big satchel Fall
of Liquor.

AS w. NJ. Coelho of the Board OF
Health Office was walking along Bere-
tania street yesterday morning, his at
tention was attracted to a nervous lit
tie Japanese dressed in American
clothes, and carrying large handbag
AS soon as the Japanese perceived that
he was being observed, he set out on
run as fast as his short legs could carry
him. Believing something was wrong
Mr.. Coelho started in pursuit, and beina
blessed with longer limbs, soon over
took the japanese who shook with fear
Opening the satchel the former found
two bottles of liquor. After question
ing the Japanese about the stuff Coelho
came to the conclusion that the brown
man had been distilling liquor without
a license. and took him to the Station
House, where the charge was formally
entered against, as well as parenthsti-
cal investigation" charge.
