EXAsPEaArED PASSENGERS.
BUSINESS Men Are Subjected to Ions
Waits at Switches.

Tram-car service yesterday and for
the past week was the bane of existence
to those of its patrons who lived in the
suburbs. There was little attempt upon
the part of the drivers to keep anything
ike schedule time and passengers were
often delayed at switches for periods Of
from i've to fifteen minutes. Such de-
lays were noticeable on Beretania
street at the pumping plant switch on
the evening cars bound toward Puma
hou Not content with making bad
time, the drivers of two cars which met
there both alighted from their cars,
carried on running conversation and
changed some of their money. The
wait was exasperating and the passen-
gers became angry. The drivers at
length concluded their conversation
and drove on
On KING street at noon yesterday two
long waits were INDUCED in on the
switch opposite the Judiciary building.
Despite requests for the driver to make
the next switch, the driver was indif-
ferent to the desire of several business
men to reach their respective offices be-
fore the 1 o'clock whistle was blown.
The whistle blew and twelve minutes
later the car reached Fort street.

THE NEW YEAR NUMBER.
More Good Words From the Ameri
can Press

A special New Years Day number
thirty-two pages, of The Pacific CONNER
ciai Advertiser, of Honolulu, Hawaii Ter
ritory, has been received by member
of the Free Press staff, from Mr. Fred.
Scott, son of Mrs. James Scott, of this
city, by whom the many extended write
ups constituting the great attractive fea-
lures have been elaborated. The illustra
tons. which occupy a considerable por-
ton of the space, are very fine; those on
the cover show some of Honolulus
church edifices, leading schools of Homo
lulu, and Hawaii's capitol and its occu-
pants A couple of pages are devoted
to Hawaiian Pointers" Hawaiian songs
and "Ghmpses of Hawaii Nei;" this is
very interesting reading matter. The
Hawaiian sugar plantations, the crown
lands, the progress of Honolulu's trade,
the principal residences and pubic
buildings, are well described and shown
to the eye in excellent cuts The history
of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser,
since its establishment in 1856, is given;
and it's subsequent progress and present
equipment, are described at length; also
very good cuts are given of the employees
in all the departments. The descriptions
of the scenery, sunset and moon-rise and
the climate would tempt a reader to
pack his trunk and secure passage by
the next steamer, without stopping TO
think how he would earn his living out
there. Second thoughts, however, leave
4 the settled conviction that the Canadian
4 west not the Hawaiian Islands, must be
| looked to for homes by the millions in
the overpopulated countries of Europe,
and the enterprising men of Eastern
Canada and the United States who wish

well, and he likes the PARKWAY Pacific
islands very much.-Winnipeg Free

Newly Purchased Book Basket for
Travelling Library introduced
by Mrs. Frear.

The Hawaiian Woman'S Club met
yesterday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. A. b. Wood in their regular study
circle. Owing to the bad roads and in
clement weather many of the members
were absent, and others were detained
on other Islands by the delay of boats.
1t mad been arranged that Miss Jes-
sic Alderman should address the club
along line of thought connected with
the present subject of study, which Is
that of the Chinese situation. Miss
Ackerman's personal experiences In
China would have been of great help
to the club. but unfortunately the lee
turer was unable to be present on ac-
count of having contracted cold.
The club song and other songs were
sung and the regular routine attended
to. Mrs. Mary Dillingham; Frear
brought with her a newly purchased
book basket for the travelling library
of the club, to which recent additions
have been made
Letters were read from branch clubs
in Hilo and other places by the CORE
spending secretary. AS Miss Acker-
mans lecture had been relied upon for
the main feature of the program, there
was nearly an hours time to be dis
posed of and Mrs. Frear and Mrs Wood
utilized it by reading various articles
from the different magazines apropos
of the Chinese problem. The club has
completed the study of the Transvaal
and their time for some weeks to come
will be devoted to instructive reading
upon the new subject, the late additions
to their library affording them excel
lent opportunity.

MANY RIOTERS SENT TO JAIL.

"a few months ago Akron was hang
ing her head in shame and other cities
were pointing the finger of scorn at
her." said man from that Ohio city
the other day, because of the outrages
in connection with the attempted lynch
ing of the negro Peck. But today the
city feels that it has been vindicated
and entitled once more to the esteem
in which she was formerly held. No
other city has ever done so much to put
check on mob rule and riot as has
Akron. The grand jury indicted sixty
men for participating in the riot. OF
this number twenty-one have so far
been tried and convictions have been
secured in every case. A majority of
these were sent to the penitentiary,
while Others have gone to the work
house, and in the case of boys, to the
house of correction. The court is now
in recess, but after the holidays the
others indicted will be placed on trial,
and the authorities believe they have
evidence to secure convictions in every
case. One of the men indicted is a
member of the city council, but If his
guilt is proven his influence will not be
sufficient to save him. What other city
has ever established such record?
There have been riots and lynchings
both North and South, but nowhere else
has the law been meted out with so
stern hand. 1t seems to me that it is
now due to us that the people ac-
knowledge that Akron is not the law
defying cor. inunity it was represented
to be at the time of the riot"

perhaps the finest of its kind in existence,
for which the millionaire paid $25 OOO 1t

About sixty years ago Nicholas Girod

Orleans to establish a home for orphan
children of French parentage. BY liti-
cation the amount was reduced to about
one-quarter of the bequest but by judi
cious investment the found had grown
to $4,000 in 1854, when it was decided to
build the asylum. A gift of a site be-
tween swamp and a cemetery was ac-
cepted and the building was erected But
the French Society would not occupy it,
They were afraid of the swamp, and with
reason, for the city's alternative
use of the building as a house of refuge
for boys had to be abandoned because of
the excessive mortality. Now the swamp
has been drained, the building is to be
leased as home for the negro waits Of
the city, and the proceeds are to be de-
voted to the support of French orphans

once, myself said listener, according
TO the New Orleans Times-Democrat,

could not stand a great deal, and the
shock was no surprise to me. l was
really happy when l found that my eyes
had played me no trick and that the
things about me were real things. had
journeyed down into Mexico for the pur-
pose of spending some time. The trip
was partly a business trip, and partly
for such pleasure as l could get out Of
an experience in a country that was new
to me. l ought to say here that l had
never been in a tropical country. My life
had been spent in the North. and what
ever 1 knew about many of the forms or
life in tropical sections was altogether
theoretical. I had merely read about
many of the things but l learned after
ward that there were many things 1
had never dreamed of even in moments
when my mind was inclined to conjure
with the horrors of uneven sleep. Well,
/ found myself in Mexico. / ~was in the
wilds of Mexico, at that where one could
find but few of the comforts known to
the more advanced ways of living. I
stopped with an old Mexican one night,
and he put me in a dumpy little room
off to myself. I slept on the floor or
rather l started to sleep on the floor,
and it was a dirt floor at that. l
coiled up on a mattress made of some
light material. l had just closed my
eyes when 1 felt something scramble rap
Oily over my forehead. 1t startled me
a bia. but 1 kept cool and still to see if
it would happen again.
1t happened in less time than it takes
to tell it. This thing kept up until the ex-
pertinent was disorganizing my nerves,
and l could stand it no longer. 1 got
up and started out, and l felt the same
thing happened to my fet. Partly panic
stricken, l rushed into the room of the
old Mexican. Something in yonder,"
said. pointing toward my room. He took
in the situation at once, and assured
me that there was no danger. When I
got back to my room l was paralyzed.
Crawling over the walls of the run and
smapering over the floor, over the mat
tress on which 1 had lain, and running
here and there and everywhere, was a
perfect army of lizard of all sizes, ages.
and varieties. l told the Mexican to
leave the light, and that l would occupy
the room for the night. And so 1 did.
But / did not sleep, for 1 did not want
the lizards, however harmless and COM
