Plymouth Reporter: From this time
mp to the state convention voters should
be on their guard The corporations
will do anything to defeat the man who
stands for equitable taxation. The aas-
tar!ly fight that they are making on the
governor shows how thoroughly they
hate him On the question of taxation
involved in the present contest the PEG
pies interests are Numerically opposed
20 those of the corporations and no voter
should neglect to attend the caucuses
and gee to it that only La Toilette men
are chosen as delegates to the conVen-
tions. The wealthy corporations are
spending hundreds OF thousands of dol
lars to escape paying their just share f
the taxes and SO the contest is sure 20
be warm one.

THE DEMAND THIS YEAR FOR
VALENTINES WAS LARGE

here, where it is always spring and al
ways the time for love, the day has
been without significance, and the hon
or which is paid to it in the colder
climes, is here missing.
The demand for the comic valentines,
those done in color, with ridiculous
lines beneath a more than ridiculous
picture, has never been heavy here,
but this year, when the demand for
such things as have vogue in colder
regions has been growing, there is a
steady request for the impossible pic
lures and the equally impossible poet
ry.
The dealers in the seriO-comic manu-
factures, which are usually mixtures of
lace paper, flowers and doves, with a
sentimental verse, are few, and they
find themselves with some of the con-
fections still on hand, but the demand
they say has been above the average.
The mail reports show that there will
be several of the missiveS of the sea-
son to be delivered this morning, but
to the observance given the day on the
Mainland, that which obtains here is
exceedingly minute.
There is usually a great amount of
social celebration of the day, but here
there have been announced no especial
functions for the commemoration Of the
Occa sion.

XN THE land of always spring, Val
entine day has never taken firm
hold upon the affections of the
young people, but with the coming
from colder climes of so many persons
of tender age the day of the old saint
has become one which has a growing
cult. So many inquiries have been
made for valentines this year that sew
eral of the stationers who never have
carried the trihes of lace paper and
flowers, will now put in stocks against
a recurrence of the day.
With the coming up of the sun today
it is supposed in popular fancy that the
birds after their long winter of divorce,
take to themselves new mates, and
certificates in bird land are
all supposed to take date from the day
of the good old saint. Following the
same old tradition, in the breasts OF
men and maidens the love flower is
to blow with the coming of
the spring time. I'm the spring
young mans fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of love" was written to sing
the joys of St. Valentines day, but

HOME RULERS
WITH NO QUORUM
Alleged Informal Endorsement ol
Party's DIspensary Bill Proves
Pleasing.

Lack of quorum prevented meet
ing of the Executive Committee of the
Home Rule party last evening. There
was not at any time more than dozen
persons in the room, and as most of
these seemed not at all anxious TO stay
long. the waiting ones finally gave ii
up about nine o'clock. spent few min
utes in informal discussions of the sit
uation and departed.
Among the members present II was
the consensus that the action of the
committee. which refused to consider
the sending of commissioner to
Washington. would be upheld by the
committee. There was also some talk
of the resolutions which called atten-
ton to the employment of Oriental Ia
Dor on Public Works, and several men
thought all the specific information
which could be asked would be forth
coming.
The fact was mentioned on the street
yesterday that the Anti-Saloon League
was about to practically endorse Home
Rule measures, by the sending out OF
hundreds of copies of the South Caro-
lima Dispensary bill. These bills, it Is
said. will be sent all over the Islands
to persons who may be influenced by

SHE WAS LUCKY
WITH THE DICE
Native Girl is Cheated OF Earn
ings by White
Man.

A native girl caused considerable ex-
citement yesterday afternoon on Queen
street near the Opera saloon. by calling
loudly for a policeman. She found one
near the corner of Queen and Richards
street, and hurried that worthy to tfe
Opera saloon, where she said she had
been cheated by a white man out of 81.
A group of men assisted the girl in tell
ing her story to the officer, and all talked
at one time. Finally the officer Erasped
enough of the situation to understand
that the girl and a white man had been
playing craps in the rear of the saloon.
She was an expert thrower of the two
dice, and soon had his small change,
amounting to about s1.50. The man then
produced a IS gold piece, and laid 1t ON
the ground. He lost steadily until the
girl owned 50 in the gold piece. The lat
ter was handed to a lounger with TIE
request that he get it changed into sill
yer at the bar. The change was brought
back. but instead of giving the girl her
81, he pocketed the whole sum and ran
away, the wahine in hot pursuit. The
officer said he was not in the business OF
collecting gambling debts.

designation as above, and the announce
ment was made that the place would be
opened with a hurrah.
While the hurrah was going on Jimmie
had a talk with the man behind the
cigars and asked that the agreement be
signed by both, in accordance with the
promises made to Dougherty by the
silent partner" He said to the latter
that he was certain of drawing a large
trade of the young men of the town to
the shop, and, if he built up the business
he should be entitled to his share in the
profits. He suggested also that as his
name was on the display window the Ii
cense should also be issued to him. The
silent" partner objected to any arrange
ment of this nature, and it is said that
he represented to Jimmie that it was
enough that the latter had his name on
the window
There were a few words, and Jimmie"
said he would retire The SILENT part
ner said he could go and be quick about
it, and the latter then secured the license
paper and all the invoices. Jimmie
went, and in a few minutes the man with
the paint chisel was busy on his name on
the window, and soon nothing was left
but "Cigarist,'' which will be changed to
Cigars"
A suit against the silent" partner may
result, which will involve about $1,000
worth of fixtures and merchandise.

JlMMY DOUGHERTY'S BRIEF
CAREER AS A CIGARlST

1" HERE was trouble in a cigar store
on Fort street yesterday, and pass
ersby who glanced in at the new
stand of james Dougherty, Cigarist, -
about 2 O'Clock, were surprised to see a
man standing in the show window busi-
ly engaged in peeling off the James
Dougherty" section of the sign. In the
forenoon the new shop was thrown open
for the patronage of the public, and dap
per little Dougherty stood smilingly be-
hind the counter. greeting the stream of
friends who came in to congratulate him
and receive in return a Manila cigar. a
Hawaiian quintette club added not a lit
tie to the opening of the establishment
with their songs of Hawaii nei, and ev-
erything seemed to be as merry as a
wedding bell. But behind this exterior
of prosperity there lurked Nemesis.
When it was proposed by a local cigar
and tobacco dealer to put in a new store
on Fort street between King and Mer-
chant streets, Jimmie" Dougherty was
lust the man needed to introduce the new
establishment to the public, and soon
carpenters transformed a little room into
a coZy smokers retreat. An agreement
with Dougherty as agent was drawn up
but not signed, the matter hanging fire
until yesterday. In time a sign painter
decorated the window with the name and

that the prOverb is true so far as he is
concerned with the right of way

is going ahead with the ballasting of

completed in a few weeks. For the

down McCully street, will do nothing
toward improving the street. as both
sides of the siXty-foot strip is occupied
by vegetable gardens.
Close guard is kept on the right of

and night. Mckee stated yesterday he

TRUST INVESTIGATIONS.

The New York Press a republican paper, has become convinced that the sugar trust is in no danger of being embarrassed by the proposed investi- gation into its affairs by the senate committee on relations with Cuba. of determining the holdings of the sugar trust on Cuban plantations and their crops. A subcommittee has been appointed to cary out the details of the investigation.
 The subcommittee shows a disposi- tion to allow the sugar trust do all the investigating for the proposal of its members, with the exception of Senator Teller, and that it will be suf- ficient to call as witnesses the officers of the sugar trust to substantiate the reports and recommendations of Gov ernor General Wood. Neither the ad- ministration nor the rest of the com mittee offers to assist Senator Teller in getting at the facts and laying them before congress and the American peo- pie This sort of investigation would be on a par with an investigation of the beef trust with it's officers as the sole witnesses, to determine whether or not there was such a thing as a beef trust, and, if there was, whether it was not a philanthropic and chari- Nah1 prosecuting a man for theft and put ting him on the stand to give the only evidence for the state, or like trying one for murder and making his testi mony the sole reliance of the prosecu ton.
