STREET WIDENING NEEDED.

Since the tracks of the Rapid Transit
line were laid on the Eva end OF King
street. the need of widening that thor
oughfare has become paramount.
Az matters are. a carriage would
stand small chance in the street II
caught between trolley and tram cars
approaching from opposite directions.
SO much of the highway Is taken up
by car tracks that carriages cannot
pass without turning off on the road
bed of one or the other Of the lines.
Moreover, 80 narrow is the way that
horses are more likely to be stampeded
by car coming towards them from
the rear than would be the case II they
Travelled farther from the track
Az King street must always be an
important artery OF travel the sooner 1t
Is put In shape to serve all kinds OF
probable traffic the better. Happily
where the congestion of travel is worst
there Is nothing In the way Of widening
the street, after legal steps shall have
been taken. but some frame buildings
used by Asiatics. Most OF these struc-
lures could be thrust back twenty fee
without harm to the business interests
of owners or tenants; and twenty feet
would be none too much.

That tree rats travel from one place
to another on electric light wires is bet
ter known. perhaps. than that their
favorite habitat Is where the leaves OF
palm trees start from the trunk. A
date palm. especially. Is favorite
place for the rats. which not long ago
set fire to one by carrying matches
there. Hidden In the almost impenetra-
BILE mass of stiff and spiky leaves
impenetrable to cats and other natural
enemies-the rats breed their families
and more than make up for the losses
to their tribe caused by occasional
forays. They travel from tree to tree
and roof to roof. using the wires wher-
ever 1t Is convenient and thus keeping
away from animals that might destroy
them. 1t Is presumed that the tree ra,
is as susceptible to the plague ss any
other. but 1t Is not 80 much exposed

NO EXTRA SESSION.

The strength of Governor Dole's devo-
refusal to give the Home Rule party the
chance. which that predatory organiza-
ton Graves. and which Is expressed in
the demand for an extra session, to not
only plumber the taxpayers by the
methods now practicable but to invent
new methods by which spoils may be
multiplied.
The decoy argument for an extra ses-
sion Is found in the need OF money TO
run the government and pay for i'm
provements. That any such need exists
reflects most severely upon the Legisla-
ture which now pretends desire to
meet It. This Legislature had a regular
session Of sixty days and n special ses-
sion of thirty days. and It spent about
$4,000 In keeping itself running. It's
main achievement was in passing a bill
over the Governors veto in favor OF
untaxed female dogs. and it spent
weeks In considering rotten fran
chise and in disputing over the spelling

Residence property on high ground
looks like a good thing to hold. The
history of all tropical cities Is that, as
swift communication comes and good
roads are built, white people go up hill
to live leaving the lowlands to the dark
or yellow races. That is to say, they
do this II there are any hills available
and any dark or yellow races to be
segregated. The tendency to build on

THE DANISH ANTILLES.
Negotiations Have Been Transferred
to Washington.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l6.-The negotia-
tions between the governments of the
United States and Denmark, relative to
the cession to the United States of the
Danish West Indies, have been trans
ferred TO Washington. The transfer was
brought about through the desire of the
Danish government to place it's interests
in the matter in the hands of Mr.. Con-
stantine Brun, Danish minister at this
capital. He spent some time at Copen-
hagen last summer. and returned to
Washington recently. thoroughly prepar-
ed TO carry forward the negotiations d.
rectly with Secretary Hay. Within the
last few days there has been increased
activity In the negotiations.

Business men who used to come down
in the dilatory trans partook of the
lazy spirit OF the thing and merely
sauntered TO their offices or stores.
Now. when they are whizzed to town
on the Rapid Transit line, they keep
up the gait and get to their posts in a
hurry. 1t is variation OF the old
phenomenon OF the slow man from the
country going to town and taking a
walk on Broadway. Before he knows II

Notion inspires motion and that Is
where the trolley does good work.

This Is the day on which Hawaiians
celebrate the time when Admiral
Thomas piaue got the better of his de-
votion to British interests, and led him
to lower his national flag and restore
this group to its aboriginal inhabit-

was In the capital building but we don't
believe that 1t is on display In England
where his Hawaiian policy was never
much appreciated.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

THANKSGIVING DAY.
Thanksgiving day did not. as many
suppose, descend from the Puritans. II

ance borrows much on the religious and
domestic sides from the rites of the

was a long lapse of years between the
last stated feast of the Puritan COM
munties and the Thanksgiving observ-
ance to which the American people are
now annually summoned by their Chief
MAGISTRATE. Not until TIE Civil war
was In its crisis did the Thanksgiving
day we now know enter the calendar of
American holidays.
1t was then a day of sectional suppl
cation. The Union was divided and In
the South President Lincoln's proclama-
lions were without invitational force.
Nor has the November feast ever be-
come broadly national. The South still
looks askance at 1t, preferring Christ
mas as a stated time OF reunion. BAN
quoting and religious ceremony. But
wherever the northern spirit goes,
Thanksgiving day receives its full need
of recognition. That is why the Ameri-
can community III al iaS' ava
eighty years, observed the last Thurs
day in November as 1t will again do
today.
The manner in which the day Is cele-
brated depends upon the temper and
habit Of any given community. In
some places the religious note Is dom'n-
ant: in others the day calls out the
horse racers and gamblers, the pot-htin-
ters and turkey -rafflers; in the great
cities all classes celebrate In their own
way, both saloons and churches being
crowded. But the keynote of the day
is the reunion OF families and this Is
the fact by which Thanksgiving most
appeals to the popular heart and in
which are the seeds OF its perpetual
ton Today hundreds of thousands of
sons and daughters will assemble under
the old roof tree. The third and even
the fourth generations will come.

TRAGEDY AT wIsHARTs POINT.
BOY shot ana Killed.

Alonzo Thomas, aged IA years, SOD
of Mr.. L. P. Thomas, was shot and
killed at store OF Mr.. l.. W. Massey,
Wisharts Point, last Monday by Hill
man Shivers, aged II years, son OF
Edward Shivers. formerly OF this
county ow OF New Jersey. The con-
tents OF the gun, from which the
fatal shot was fred, entered near
the heart OF Alonzo Thomas causing
instant death.
The details OF the tragedy, are
given in the following evidence sub
mitted at the coroner's inquest:
DIR T. 7. Taylor, who saw Alonzo
Thomas In about a mlnut after he
was shot, said, he was very bloody
lying fiat on his face, head next to
door and made one gasp after he got
there.
Ellie Thomas, brother of the de-
ceased, testified, that Hilman
Shivers, shot him. He cursed him,
then drew his gun, put shell In the
gun and shot him. That when he
was shot he was standing on the
plank or the nail keg trying to get
hold of the gun to keep Hilman from
shooting him.
VIM. H. Satchell, another wit
ness, testified that he had been in
the store but at time of shoot
ing was out of door standing back to
on steps and when he turned around
found house full of smoke and
Thomas falling. Saw pistol in hand
of Hilman before he left store but
did not see him with a gun. Heard
him say that he shot him. In res
ponse to inquiry further said, he had
heard conversation between Alonzc
and Hilman before he left store and
they were talking as usual; didn't
seem to be mad with each other.
The verdict of the jury was that
Alonzo Thomas came to his death or
18th day OF May, by e gun shot
wound inflicted by the hands of Hill
man Shivers.
He was sent to jail by Justice AS
Taylor on Tuesday.
