Should We Pray for Rain9
IRoNToN, Mo-, July 20, 1901

1RONTON, Mo-, July 20, 1901.
My Dear EditOr-I notice that Coy
ernor Dockery has yielded to the i'm
portunities of certain ministers and
others and has designated Sunday,
July 21st, as a day of prayer and fast
ing, on account of the prevalent attack
of heat and drouth. Further, / noticed
in the St. Louis Globe Democrat a few
days ago a letter from a correspondent
in which he attributes this visitation
of Divine Providence upon the people
of the great and sovereign State of
Missouri, land, incidentally, upon the
peoples of most of the other A States
in the Union,) to the passage and en-
forcement of the Nesbit Law, and, as
asserted by some, the consequent in
justice to the city of St. Louis and it's
enthralment by the Democratic Party.
Some cities In the northern states have
lately also been visited by a shower of
small green frogs, (recalling one of
the plaques of EgypD-in some cases
strewing the streets of the city three
inches deep; in others being so nu-
merous as to impede and retard rail-
road traffic. Recent cablegrams indi-
cate that London and other large cities
in England, Paris, France, Berlin,
Germany, and other European capitals
and cities, have been and are now be-
ing similarly visited, not only with the
excessive heat and drouth, but also
threatened with a water famine; and
all because hi LEGISLATURE OF THE
STATE OF MISSOURI PASSED THE NESBIT
LAW. Would that we now had anoth-
err Bobbie Burns to tell these self-right-
eous Political Pharisees

To see ourselves as ithers see u.s."
There have been occasions when
days of national fasting and mourning
might be deemed right, just and expe-
dent, but for the citizens of the State
of Missouri to assume that these Ma
tional and International h~olocausts
have been super-induced by their puny
little Nesbit Law, is too absurd for
serious conjecture; a well might the
clay call out t the potter, in the words
of the Observation-Disclosures dost thou

hast thou so formed me?" Astrono-
mers tell US the recent excessive heat.
and consequent drouth, is due t o the
peculiar conjunction of the Planets

and until these conditions are altered,
we will have to bear with it; but ma
ture works by certain fixed and immu-
table laws, which will not be over
come. and from which she will not
bulge. though even the heat should
so parch the ground as to consummate
what has heretofore been predicted of
the inality of this world-that it should
be destroyed by fire. And He who
has called the stars by their names
and knows their courses and orbits
from before the foundations of the
world, He viii not cause US to suffer
any greater Inconvenience from these
and other NATURAL CAUSES than we

If the st. Louis Worlds Fair is to
be a Success, perhaps it may be as well
for our Republican contemporaries to
cease demonstrating that Democratic
Missouri is a hell, to be turned into a
Paradise only with the ascendency OF
the Party of Angelic Morals. The ap-
parent remoteness of that coveted con-
dition must be appalling to their gen.

MARSHALL Ipder: 1.-The friends of
Governor Dockery and of Ex-Governor
Stone are relieved by a statement pub
lished in the GaUGtin Democrat to the
effect that the present Governor was
not a candidate to succeed Senator
Vest. Here is the editorial from the
Governors home paper: Some people
persist in the statement that Governor
Dockery will be a candidate for the
Senate to succeed Senator Vest. 1t is
known to his close friends that he is
not a candidate, and all the comment
along the line of his supposed candi-
dacy is without foundation. The Gov
ernor is not one Of those politicians
who puts himsel: 'in the hands of his
friends but whenever he desires an
Office he is not at all backward in an
nouncing that fact This efectually
and finally clears up the political sky
so far as the next S~enatorship is con-
serned. If William j. Stone wishes
the Office it will be his for the asking,
as the Democracy of Missouri will de-
light to do him honor. In fact, he
has no opposition among Democrats.
and when the Legislature meets and
he should evince a willingness to wear
the toga, he will receive every vote in
the Democratic caucus. The Inde1 is
for Stone, Saline county is for Stone
and Missouri is for Stone!'

White Man Turned Yellow.

Great CONSERVATION was felt by the
friends of M. A. Hogarty of Lexington,
KY, when they saw he was turning
yellow. His skin slowly changed color,
also his eyes. and he suffered terribly.
His malady was Yellow Jaundice. He
was treated by the best doctors, but
without benefit. Then he was advised
to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful

INJUNCTION BCMTNuD THE MONEY WILL MuaD DEPORTATION Of CHINESE
JUDGE EsTEE TAKES UP THE
QUESTION.
Still Another Glass of Cases Brought
Forward as Result of Changes in
Laws.

All See and her relatives, and three
other Chinese with their relatives were
before United States Judge Estee this
morning. ready to prove their right to
remain on American soil because they
had been born here or had permits to
return. An Sees case was taken up
first, but the lack of an interpreter
compelled an adjournment until the
afternoon. Ah See was born in Homo
lulu eleven years ago, according to
testimony that will be offered. She is
a small girl, and appeared to be much
frightened when, in taking up her case,
Judge Estee ordered all the other Chi
nese to leave the court room until they
were called as witnesses, leaving All
See alone.
A new lot of Chinese exclusion and
deportation case has just arisen, be-
sides those of the $50 who have Stack
ables certificates allowing them to re-
turn, and those who allege that they
were born here, and it seems likely that
Estee will have a lot of Chinese bust
ness, as a result of the orders to deport
all Chinese who have not certificates.
The new cases are those of Chinese
given permission to go home by the
Republic of Hawaii. AS successor to
the republic Uncle Sam is declared to
have succeeded to the republics obli-
anu IneTe are d HuIlUeT OI
Chinese, how many is not known, who

two points will probably be tested.
Little All See asks admission as a ma
tive born under age, while others rely
on the certificates they got from the
collector of customs.
Deputy Marshal Hendry this morn
ing took the stand to testify as to pro-
! ceedings with the defendants at the
quarantine station, where they were
held in custody, but as he conversed
/ with them through an interpreter, the
latter was sent for, a bench summons
being issued returnable at 2 this after
noon.
Many Honolulu Chinese are ready to
testify in the case. One ruling of Es-
| tees, that he never believed Chinese

ST. AUGUSTINE 5 CHAPEL
STONE TO BE LAID ON
SUNDAY.
Bishop of Panopolis and Father Nc
Kinnon to Deliver Addresses-Luau
for Benefit of Church.

The corner stone of st. Augustine's
chapel in Waikiki will be laid at 3
o'clock Sunday. The Bishop of .Pana-
polls will speak as will also Father Me-
Kinnon, of the United States Army.
The latter is a cousin of the famous
fighting priest of the First California
regiment He returned here about four
weeks ago from Manila. The exercises
will take place on the site of the old
church back of the Kapiolani premises
The Catholic cathedral band will sup
ply music.
Father Valentine is the originator of
the move for this new church. The old
affair had spent its usefulness, being
too small for the congregation and hav-
ing gone to wreck generally. The
church will be nearly twice as large
and will be specially designed for a tro-
pical climate, Among its features will
be open windows, or windows with the
windows left out. 1t will be sixty feet
in length and of a size to accommodate
comfortably about 500 people.
The luau for the benefit of the church
will take place a week from tomorrow.
II will beoin at noon and will last un-
til 10 or IL o'clock at night. The affair
will come off in the drill shed. At meet
ing of the ladies of the committee was
held Wednesday and complete arrange
ments made Mrs r. w Macfarlan'
was chosen head of the committee i'm
place of Mrs. Bowler who will be away.
In reply to a request for the band, Act
ing Governor Cooper placed the music
at the disposal of the committee. 1t is
intended to make the luau one of the
most elaborate in every respect.

Mr.. HARILEYS MISSION
WILL BEGIN AGGRESSIVE WAR
FOR TEMPERANCE.
His League Relies on Existing Laws
Saloon Must Go.

Rev. l.. NJ. Hartley, the new head of
the Temperance League, has taken the
house at 1155 Lunalilo street which will
be his headquarters for the present. 1t
is the intention of himself and the
League to secure headquarters down
town later, from which the important
work to be attempted will be carried
on.
THE work of our League" says Mr..
Hartley, "is distinct from that of the
Sons of Temperance, Good Templars
and Murphy League. The first two
mentioned are largely social, the aim
being to gather in young people and to
throw around them temperance influ-
ences The Murphy League is a rescue
movement and does an important and
invaluable work. Our work is to COM
pei as far as lies in our power the en-
forcement of temperance laws and to
secure the enactment of such temper
ance laws as are deemed requisite. We
are an aggressive body. stopping at
nothing when our principles are at
stake. We are not fighting the saloon
man. Our plan of battle against the
saloon is different in different places,
according to localities and conditions.
Everywhere, however, we rely on the
laws. If the laws are not what they
should be we begin campaign to make
Inem so. we nau 10 90 tnat In CalIOr-

and have not had time to look thor

deemed necessary"

the leaders of his movement. He is

70 PASS THE BILL TODAY.
MAKING SPECIAL
EFFORT.
Do Not Wish to Risk Needing Execu-
tive Signature of Their own Expenses
Bill.

The house met this morning and
promptly took a recess till three o'clock
this afternoon, to allow it's conference
committee to meet with the Senate con-
ference committee on the subject of the
current expenses bill. The position of
the house confreres is that the bill shall
not pass for $4,000 without statement
of what the money is for. Several votes
were taken in the house but only IA
could be secured for the bill at $4,000.
The men opposing the bill announced
that they would vote for it If the senate
would give a statement of what the
increase was for. The bill is expected
to pass this afternoon, just in time so
that 1t may become a law without the
signature of acting governor Cooper.
AS means of disposing of the other
differences between house and senate,
regarding the general appropriation
bills, the following concurrent resolu-
tion was passed by the house:
''Be it Resolved by the House of Re-
presentatives the Senate concurring:
THAT conference committee to con-
sist of seven members from each House
be appointed for consideration of the
Appropriation Bills passed by the
House of Representatives and the
amendments thereto proposed by the
Senate.
THAT the members of said committee
be appointed by the Speaker of the
House and the President of the SEN
ate respectively.
THAT six members shall be selected so
that each Election District is represent
ed on each committee-the seven men,
bers to be appointed at large.

the Senate of the action by this house" "

TAKES BACK TIE CHARGE.
THE ACCUSATIONS MADE TOO
HASTILY.
Petitioner Da Pallos Suddenly Takes
Back His Statements That Silva
Estate Was Robbed.

The fraud charges made in connec-
ton with the estates of the late Jose
A. da Silva were suddenly Withdrawn
this morning. 1t was alleged in a petit
ton filed by Tom Fitch as attorney for
Antonio d. Aguar da Pallos, that ad-
ministrator j. M. Osorio, who was put
in charge of the estate on recommends
tion of Portuguese Consul Canavarro,
had committed various FRAUDULENT acts
to defraud the estate. Silva was the
old Portuouese whose sudden death,
supposed to have been due to poison,
was followed by the deaths of four men
who drank some supposed wine from
bottle which they found i'm his room.
This morning Attorney Fitch filed the
following:
Petitioner herein by leave of the
Court first had and obtained amends
his petition on file herein as follows:
BY striking from the same on page 4
thereof the End paragraph commencing
with the words And your petitioner
further shows that said J. A. M. Oso-
rio contriving to cheat, etc., and end
ing with the words were sold by said
Osorio for more than $780, and also
by striking from the said petition on
page thereof the following words in
the 3rd paragraph further contriving
to wrong and defraud said estate and
ton on page thereof the following
concluding words of the 3rd paragraph
and kept the proceeds thereof for his
own use.'
And now j. M. Osorio is on the war
path because he was charged with all
sorts of fraud, and a damage suit is
talked of against Antonio d Aguar da
Pallos. Osorio saws that Da Pallos was
a bit too ready with his charges, and
now withdraws them because he found
after making them that there was no
truth in the statements on which they
were based.
The application of e. A. Dowthitt,
formerly of San Francisco. to be ad-
mitted to practice law in the courts of
the island, was filed this morning.
Judge Gear was occupied nearly all
morning with the case of the Kapio-
lani estate against A. S. Cleghorn,
which is still far from finished.

CELEBRATED The FOURTH
GOT INTO COURT FOR FIRING
FIRE CRACKERS.
Five Defendants Who Shot off Fire
Crackers in Fort Street Reprimanded
BY Judge Wilcox.

Evidently those who celebrated the
Fourth were so few and far between
that when the police saw any they
wanted to take them into custody to
determine what character of individuals
the celebrators were. Five defendants
were before Judge Wilcox this morning
to answer to charges of having violated
section S29 by shooting off fireworks in
a public street. All of the celebrating
had been done in Fort street and each
of the defendants said that he had been
in ignorance of the law.
T. ]. Fitzpatrick admitted that he
had been firing off his third bunch of
fire crackers when the officer took him
into cutody The court said that the
defendant ought to know that the dis
charging of fire crackers was dangerous
and might cause runaways. Inasmuch
as the defendant had been in ignorance
of the law however the court would
merely reprimand him.
Henry Kanela was let off with a re-
primand. He claimed that he had been
given permission to shoot the fire
crackers but the court informed him
that the governor and the two district
magistrates were the only persons in
Honolulu who could give such permis-
sion He was told to go and sin no
more for at least year.
John Yates had been shooting off
fire crackers by the Orpheum. 1T seems
to me-" remarked the court that there
is a lot of people hanging around by
the Orpheum. 1t is getting 90 be a
lawless sort of place. [ VIII have TO
make an example of some of those Of
tenders. You can go this time though. "
w. S. Hughes was another fire crack
er firer. The court said that perhaps
some people might think it a terrible
thing that the Fourth could not be
celebrated but the statute was there
and it had to be obeyed. 1--WE gave the
Americans a chance to show us how
to celebrate 4th of July yesterday and
the result was that we had a very quiet
day of it."
The court permitted Hughes to de-
part without paying a fine ana A. An
derson. another offender was also given
lenient treatment.
