H0GAN'S MONEY;
COHEN'S LESSON
Why fere Will Be No Min.
strel Perform .nce,
Very Soon

The ten members who composer the
hui organized to bring Hogan ard his
colored minstrel troupe to Honolulu are
out the $500 they raised for Manager
j. c. Cohen of the Orpheum Thea1er.
with which to bait the "urbleached
American" A letter which was brought
to Honolulu by c. s. Desky on the Ven
tura Wednesday. written by Cohen IN
San Francisco, told s.1 .erril. A story Il
how the $500 had been sent to Ernest
Hogan in New York, and thar Hogan
had arrived in San Francisco alone. the
money all used up. The members of the
hui put up $3.50 each ami l.ft he details
to Cohen, with the above result. The
money has all been expended, ana llor,a
and his company will not appear at the
Orpheum.
Prominent in the hui are Prince David
w. j. Cornwell. j. F. Colburn, Charles
Falk whose $3.50 interest was bought at
auction last week for 500 by Frank Vida
and w. Lucas; Harry Armitage and
Mamie Phillips. The story of the trans
action is that Cohens letter, which Is in
the hands of Colburn, says that Hogan
was playing an engagement at the San
Francisco Orpheum, and his company
was in New York, and that 5000 more
would be required to get the company to
Honolulu. When the negotiations began
with Cohen in San Francisco, and Hogan
in New York, the latter asked for the
money, and 1t was sent to him. Then
everything was done over the telegraph
wire, winding up with receipts for first
class tickets for the colored minstrels.
They failed to come along. Cohen says
he has endeavored to make up another
company in San Francisco, but has fail
ed. What certain members of the present
hui made out of the Eileford Dramatic
Company has been eaten up in the Ho-
gan venture.

these words: "If know my own char

a man disposed by nature to insult or
hurt unnecessarily any human being.
And If more was needed, this eulogium
upon Lewis, Of the Heavenly Twins,

any reason to doubt his honesty and
fitness in every respect for the position
to which I appointed him, and frankness
compels me to say that 1 would not
now hesitate to appoint him to SINH
lar position"
1t would be unfair to fail to record
the fact that this judge claims immuni-
ty from criticism because of i'll health
and overwork. He draws attention to
the fact that he was endorsed by all
the churches of the city and says the
Rev. William NJ Kincaid, of Central
Union Church, had assured him that he
(Kincaid) would uphold him (Hum-
phreys) if it cost him (Kincaid) his
pulpit. This was because unfortunate
ly for the social purity of the Islands,
while l could direct the grand jury to
investigate, 1 had no power to compel
them to return an Indictment" But the
whole document is so full of the ex-
preston of the mans vanity and in
sufferable egotism, that it is well to
dismiss it with it's own peroration:
IF in attempting to hold an Ameri-
can Court in the midst of those con-
ditions, / am a misfit, it lies with you
and the President to say whether the
American idea of judicial procedure Qf
have correctly pursued such idea)
shall be made to conform to the con-
ditions prevailing in the islands or
whether those conditions shall be made
to conform to the American idea of
the administration of Justice
There can be but one American idea
of judicial procedure and the people
may rest assured that before Attorney
General Knox is through humbling
Judge Humphreys the latter will know
just what the word American" means.

1t would not be surprising, in view
of the assassinations that have startled
the world during the past six years,
If the murder section of the anarchist
party had bound itself to kill all rulers
in turn. The logic may be that if ruling
can be stopped with the bullet and dag
ger, rule must cease. The obvious anti
dote for this policy is to crush the
anarchists, thing that may be done
by concert of action among all civilized
powers. If the fact of joining an
anarchist society were made an offense
punishable with imprisonment for life
at hard labor, the popularity of the
cult might soon vanish.

The Board adopted the following res
buttons, prepared by President Nc
Gregor and Messrs. Moore and Byrne
Along with our fellow citizens all
over our broad land. we stand to-day
in the shadow of an awful crime. The
hand of a miserable, cowardly assassin,
undoubtedly prompted to commit the
foul deed by others equally guilty, has
taken from us our honored and beloved
President. man who had naught but
love and good will n his breast for all,
who had done more to beat out sec
tional lines and party feelings than
any other.
HE knew no North, no South. The
strife between the North and the South
remained only as memory to him,
and in the South no less than in the
North will this hellisn deed be deplor-
ed and the memory of William Nc
Kinley be forever revered and cher
ished.
We call upon our representatives in
both houses of Congress to speedily
enact laws that will silence or drive
from our midst these vipers of an
archy who should have no place in
our free country but send them all to
some distant uninhabited island, and
let them there set up a government OF
their own where they can Indulge
their hell-born desires for blood. We
cannot and will not be cursed with
their presence and influence here.
Our hearts go out in deepest sym

hearted in her desolate home in Canton,
mourning for her departed companion
and refusing to be comforted. Our
sorrow, while profound and unspeak

which rends her tender heart.
Resolved, That this report be spread

AT REST.

Yesterday the people performed the
last sad rites over the nations deao
and the mortal remains OF william

followed to the tomb by an immense
escort of military and a sorroWing
multitude of the friends, neighpors
and fellow townsmen of the late Pres-
ident and by as many others from
other parts of the country as the rail-
roads could carry. The scene OF many
remarkable demonstrations over VIII
liam Mckinley living, Canton never
witnessed anything like this Impress

dead. 1t was the elimination OF three
days of obsequies beginning at Bur

fed to the nations grief over its MUIR

larger cities the ceremonies were even

OF its dead chief.
The military ceremonies in Wheeling

aThe Power of Loye.r

THE Power of Love-" the Offering at
the Grand, the first half of next week,
is built upon lines as true to nature
as possible There is really no incon-
sistent matter in the plot. While on
first thought, one would be apt to think
that certain scenes are exaggerated,
yet were we to consult a detectives ex-
perience, we would find that it is mer-
ly the shell of the inside working OF the
criminal classes that is given to the
public, and that he witnesses scenes
many times in real life, just as depicted
in such dramas as THE Power of Love. "
1t may, therefore, be said that the best
manner for obtaining glimpse of the
criminal side of life is through the
properly constructed drama, and in this
way serve the double purpose of anus
ing, and of teaching the youth of our
land to evade the company of wrong
doors of any kind, whether criminal
or not. This play tells beautiful story
the predominating theme being that of
the love of daughter for her deceased
mother and her father.
