ing, but the lovely weather which We
had had so far, now deserted US and
the rain came down without cessation,
in torrents, making a meeting out OF
the question. We were not sorry how
ever, to have night off, especially as
we were all in the hands of goa
friends. who looked after us in the
most hoSpitable fashion. Next day we
boarded the steamer Hanalei for home,
and without any further adventures
our bands first trip abroad was end
ed.
On Sunday evening I had the greas
pleasure of commissioning beneath the
flag our first Hawaiian born officer.
Brother David Lyman. He was saved
at the Army penitent form in Hilo over
two years ago, and since then has been
faithful soldier and local officer in
the HiioS and Honolulu corps. He goes
away to Koloa, where he will assist
Captain Lewis, with the prayers and
we'll wishes of his comrades. Brother
Herbert Carroll also says goodbye to
Honolulu, and sailed OH the steamer
Niihau, with Cadet Lyman. He is the
fourth boy have had the joy of send
ing out to work for God in the Islands,
and will assist Captain Jensen at Wal
mea. Cadet Hellesath, of Koloa, goes
to Wailuku while Lieutenant McLead
of that place proceeds to Hilo. where

DIDN'T WANT
TO BE ROBBED
Aged Inebriate Objects to Jim
Kupihea Going Through
His Pockets.

He was an oldish man, wearing seedy
clothes and a brand new jag The lat
ter was the most prominent feature
about him. He came to the police sta
ton yesterday afternoon under pro-
test, accompanied by a police officer
and landed at the clerks desk.
What's your name?'
Look here, you fellers; l don't know
what you Sc brought me here for, and
so l amt goin' to stay" was the inc
| briate's reply.
"Oh. yes, you are. What's your
name?"
See here, you can't bluff mel tell
you amt goin' to stay here!"
AT this juncture big Jim Kupihea
doomed up in front of the staggering
protestor. Jim laid his hands gently
on the man. who instantly flung them
off. Jim laid his hands on the man
again, this time not so gently, and they
remained there. Inserting a thumb and
forehnger in the mans upper vest
pocket he quickly extracted a paper or
two. The inebriate made a vicious
lunge at Jim. shouting, Look here.
you can't rob me. won't let you do
it. This feller's robbing me, and I
want you two as witnesses I'll hold
you responsible, I've got money on my
person, and / don't intend to let you
lay your hands on me or put them in
my pockets, either
Jim reached for other pockets and
the drunken man attempted to resist
the searching process, when Apana, the
Chinese policeman, pinioned his arms
from behind. Jim then got all the
mans wealth out of his pockets, and
was about to take him below to a cell
when the laxative drunk said no man
could take him down below Just for
answer Jim took the man by the collar
with his right hand, lifted MIN off the
ground, and steadying him with his
left, carried him to a cell in the twink
ling of an eye. Scenes of this kind
happen every day in the station house

tiful folds to the breeze. Then on be-
half of the corps Captain Lewis hand
ed the key to Mrs. Wood, and declaring
the building to be opened for the wor-
ship of God and the salvation of SIM
nerS, she turned the key in the lock
and the crowd passed through for the
first meeting in the new hall
What a crowd that first one waSi Al
most all nationalities were represented,
and there seemed TO be as many out
side as there was inside. All the lead
ing officials of the plantation were
present. including the manager and his
wife. The latter kindly entertained
the D. O. and his family while in ko-
loa, and in many other ways Mr.. Nc
Lane has shown himself to be a real
friend. In the brief financial statement
which we gave out during the meeting
it was shown that ST. s2 had been rails
ed and expended on the building ana
fixing the new hall and quarters. There
was still something like 1926 necessary
to clear OH the unpaid bills and finish
hall, and towards this some $50 was
raised in these meetings, which with
S55 in promises, left only the sum of
| 5000 TO be raised for the corps to be
out of debt
i Captain Lewis deserves great credit
| for this nice little addition to Army
property. From the first he saw the
need and made Up his mind to get a
hall of our own. and after twenty
months he IS handsomely rewarded by
the realization of his hopes. We must
also give due credit to Captain Jensen,

for their hard and faithful toll. I know
they all feel repaid by the sight OF

Practical Denial of the Writ.

PRACTICAL DENIAL OF the "r1t.
While the War Department officials have
rot been advised of the reported step to
secure the release of Aguinaldo from his
nominal captivity through writ Of habeas
corpus. they were fully prepared for a
move in that direction. A few weeks ago
the first application of this kind was made
in the case of military prisoner, and as
there was some indication of disposition
on the part of the Philippine commission
to uphold the right of habeas corpus In
that case, the President was obliged to
cable some instructions both to the COM
mission and to General Chaffee, the result
of which was a practical denial of the writ.
The War Department officials have dep
recated the making of an issue on this i'm
portant point pending the decision of the
Supreme Court in the fourteen diamond
rings case" involving the question to
whether the Constitution followed the flag
in the case Of the Philippines, and it
happens that up to date there has been
no real test of the right of appeal from the
Philippine courts to the federal courts here
nor of the right of habeas corpus in the
Philippines.
AS far as Aguinaldo is concerned, it is
said that his captivity is only such in name,
and about the only evidence of it consists
in the appearance by his side of an army
officer when he walks about town. for he
is free to go almost anywhere. Moreover
1t is said that this escort is perhaps neces-
sary to protect Aguinaldo from assault. as
Re has been threatened by secret societies.

DOUBLE MURDER MYSTERY
TWO WOMEN MEET SIMILAR DEATHS
AT EVANSVILLE
Both Apparently Choked to Death
Two Other Murders Recall
ed by These.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, November 13.-The
mystery of the two murders near this city
yesterday remains unselved. The facts
that both of the victims were women, that
both were killed in the same manner and
evidently by the same person, adds to the
mystery.
What possible motive existed for either
crime no one is able to explain. Neither
woman was known to have had an enemy
and nothing is known to link the two of
them in any affair likely to furnish an ex-
cuse for one man to attack both.
The body of Mrs Georgia Bailey was
found near the city beside a public high
way. There were finger marks on the
throat. The neck was broken. The sup
position is that the woman was choked to
death by some one in a buggy and then
when she fell out her neck was broken.
There were evidences of the body having
been dragged some distance and thrown
into a ditch.
Case Of Miss Renner.
A mile outside the city, but in an opposite
direction, the body of Miss Lena Renner
was discovered by searchers. Her throat
also bore finger marks, showing the man.
ner of death similar to that OF Mrs. Bailey.
John Kifer, who was seen with Miss Rem
ner, was arrested, but proved an alibi and
was released.
The similarities of these two murders
to two others in this city during the last
three years forms another strange Incl
dent of the case.
In April, 1898, Mrs. Mary Stork went
buggy riding with a stranger. The next
morning her dead body was found in a
ditch. The man who took her life was
never discovered. Mrs. Stork was a prom
inent young woman and a great sensation
followed her death.
In April the following year Miss Nora
kifer of Elberfeld, Ind, while visiting here
suddenly disappeared Her body was found
weighted down in a creek the following
month. Joseph d. Keith, wealthy far
mer, will be hanged next Friday for the
crime.

cording to news received by the steamer
the financial depression is being keenly
felt In Japan. The japan Herald says:
THE economic condition of the country
may be gauged by the fact that the mere
report Of the failure OF the government TO

disastrous fall on the Toxic stock ex-
change, stocks falling as much as SO yen

States government has sent an order for
six gunboats for use IN the Philippines at

No Special Preparation at the Naval
Observatory.

No Special Preparation at the Naval
Observatory.
In anticipation of the possible recurrence
of the famous 1eonid meteors which filled
the skies with golden showers in 1888 and
1867, the astronomers of the naval observ-
atory will view the skies tonight with es-
pecial interest. These meteors were
thought to be due last year, but
did not appear. Some astronomical
mathematicians have now ventured
the opinion that the calculations
were a year awry, and that this year is
the time for their third manifestation. This
view. however. is not general, and the ma
