David b. Hanchett Dead.

A dispatch from Brooklyn yesterday told
of the death of David B. Hanchett. He
had been on the stage more than fifty
years and had supported all the great
American players, including the Booths,
Forrest and Charlotte Cushman. Years ago
he conducted a dramatic school in the Rial
TO building. on North Pennsylvania street,
in this city. He had a number of friends
here. His last visit was year ago, when
he came as a member of Walker White
sides company. He played Polonius and
the grave digger in Hamlet" then. He
was a fine hammered, dignified man, and
those that heard him talk of the stage of
many years go were fortunate.
mo one could play Shakespeare now" he
would say. THE traditions have been lost.
The stage is principally devoted to saw
mills and tights.
Though he was over seventy years old,
Mr.. Hanchett liked TO travel. He was sell
dom at a loss for an engagement though
he realized that actors of the "old school
were not the most favored. II show myself
around New York" he said. "and sooner
or later some manager huds that he
wants me-"

CONTEMPORARY CLUB.


Woodrow Wilson, an authoritative writer
on political science and the American re-
construction addressed the Contemporary
Club at the Propylaeum last evening on
What 1t Means to be an American" The
typical successful American, he said. is a
frOntiersman. He not only knows what
should be done, but he knows how to do it.
The reason he is exasperating Europe now
is that he can be a boss and a workman
at the same time. There is nothing more
aggraVating. Mr.. Wilson said, than TO have
some person give one advice and then
prove that he can follow IL out. Ii is COM
forting when the advisor on being asked
10 accomplish what he advises, shows in
capability.
Mr. Wilson cited Alexander Hamilton
and Benjamin Franklin men of contrast
ing method Hamilton was imbued with
the complacent British spirit Franklin
could work with his hands. In Philadel-
phia he accomplished organizations ranging
from a fre-bucket brigade 10 the America
Philosophical Society. He saw that the
Philadelphians did not know how 10 keep
their streets clean. and he devised a scheme
that did the work properly.
Mr.. Wilson also called attention to the
intolerance OF the American. He demands
that others think he thinks II they are
TO have his respect.
The clubs reception committee for the
evening was made up OF Mr.. and Mrs. T.

DAVIS CHANGES
HIS PLANS

to Fight Judge Perry
Secret Mission.
Especial to the Advertiser.)


SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2s.-George
A. Davis. attorney and counsellor at
law, of Honolulu, is going to Washing
ton from here in a few days to have
Associate Justice Perry, of the Su-
preme Court of Hawaii, put of the
bench. Davis talked freely to me on
the subject of his mission, after 1 had
broached 1t to him.
1 discovered accidentally that Davis
reasons for not returning to Honolulu,
December 26, were several. He told
me that he intended to defend the
rights of certain prisoners In cases to
be pleaded by Attorney General Dole
for the prosecution. When 1 pressed
him for plain answer to the question,
Has your Washington trip no political
motive?" he finally said:
II intend to appear before United
States Attorney General Knox and ask
that Associate Justice Perry, of the
supreme bench be compelled to resign
his office. Most of the lawyers hope to
see him deposed. 1 have heard Cecil
Brown speak on the subject. Associate
Justice Perry never tried a case as a
lawyer, In his life. He gained his posi-
ton through accidental circumstances
Il shall use every effort to have him
let out. 1 have kept my mission secret,
as I did not want 1t discussed in Ha-
wall"
