CAPTAIN RICHMOND PIERsoN HoBsoN
A Brief Sketch of the Famous Young Naval
officer Who Will Speak in the Auditorium
Wednesday Evening Under the Auspices of
the Daughters of 1912

/ Captain Richmond Pierson Hobson,
who will lecture in the Auditorium,
Wednesday evening under the auspices
of the,United Daughters of 1912, is the
most famous of all the younger naval
officers in the United States. He is a
member of distinguished North Car
olina family, one Of his uncleS being
an exminister to Spain, another hav-
ing been representative in Congress
from North Carolina and several of his
relatives having held the highest of
fees within the gift of his native state.
Hobson entered the naval academy at
Annapolis at a very early age and grad
uated at the head Of his class in 1889
at the age of II years. He was too
conscientious in his work to be ia
yorite among his fellow students in
fact he was rather unpopular, but his
faithful scholarship won him first rank
and he became senior officer of his class.
During his life at the academy he was
active in \. NJ. c. \. work and was
president of academy the association.
After his graduation Captain Hobson
went into the bureau of naval con
struction where all the designing and
repairing of naval vessels is done and
was then sent abroad for several years
of study in the ship yards of England
and France. Afterwards he was the
first professor in the school for naval
construction which was established at
the naval academy for post graduates.
With his thorough knowledge of naval
construction Captain Hobson believed
that every naval constructor should
have a practical knowledge of warships
from seeing them when in action, and
in compliance with his request to the
navy department he was detailed to
the New York; as a member of the
staff of the construction corps to watch
the ship while in operation and act as
a member of an advisory board. 1t was
while in discharge of this duty that
Hobson had the chance to carry out
his idea of sinking the collier "Merri-
mac in Santiago harbor, a feat which
is said to be without parallel in naval
history and which brought him world
wide fame. Since the war Captain
IIobson has attained additional fame
by his successful work in raising the |
sunken Spanish ships at Santiago and |

ELLIOT STREET.
ABBOTT & ACKERMAN, Props.

While the Richardson Market
has passed into new hands, our
main object will be to maintain
the high standard which this
market has rightfully enjoyed for
so many years. To do, this we
shall at all times have in stock
the best quality of goods on the
market at prices as low as con-
sistent with the times, and by
strict attention to business and
fair dealing with all, we hope to
retain the same confidence of our
patrons as our predecessors have
so long enioyed.

1t is really surprising how much hot
air escaped at Tuesdays village meet
ing over such an insignificant question
as that of amending the village char
ter so that the bailitfs might have the
regulation of the public coupes and
job wagons. 1t is fact that a certain
coupe driver on Main street was asked
a few days ago to "chip" toward get
ting a man to champion the cause of
unrestricted public vehicles. and from
the vapid utterances which issued from
those opposed to the would
seem as if several had been retained.
There was not a single argument pre-
sented in opposition to the proposed
amendment although there was talk
galore on that side. One legal light
did say something to the effect that
sit would be dangerous precedent to
give the bailitfs so much authority in
the natter and that sit would be
getting too much like a city govern
ment. - What rot. The Meddler al
most felt like Withholding this attempt
ed arraignment of the present mode of
running things out of respect to the
reputation of the local bar. AS if the
bailitfs, who are given the entire
charge of the village affairs, could not
be trusted to do the square thing in
this matter There was lot more at
similar to that mentioned
heated for the sole purpose of convinc-
ing those people who are caught by
well phrased but empty sentences that
the coupe proprietors and job men are
a down-trodden and prosecuted race.
As a matter of fact they are better off
now than ever before as they will find
when it finally dawns upon them that
the bailitfs simply are trying to use
them all alike.
The Meddler.

It's only a little while now before
summer is upon us and with it comes
the usual let-up in the business activ-
ity of the town. During the hottest
months there is sometimes so little do
ing that many people wish things
could be arranged so that there could
be one afternoon every week when
everyone might enjoy himself as he
pleased Wouldn't it be rest all
round if Saturday afternoon, say from
3 until 6, were made general recess
in town? Wouldn't just as much bus
mess be done in the end and wouldn't
everybody feel better for the few hours
recreation? For those who are fond of
baseball there would be a game every
Saturday. for those who like golf there
would be time to play an hole
match, and for everybody there would
be chance to get outdoors and enjoy
life.

\ woman came to the Meddler the
other day and asked if he wouldn It
please make an item about the people
who tore posters off trees as fast as
they were put up. The Meddler was
obliged to inform her that she was the
person who needed the lecture for
breaking the village ordinance which
prohibits the posting of bills of any
kind on any trees in the village limits.
Hardly baseball game, church sup,
per or temperance lecture is booked
without many of the larger trees on
the principal highways being covered
with bills advertising the event. It's
no help to the trees themselves to be
filled with tacks of all sizes and GER
tainly it does not improve their APP
pearance. There is no reason why this
bylaw should not be enforced the
same as any other.

Only in Fragments.

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. Is. - The
Chronicle says editorially: The editor of
the Pacific Commercial Advertiser has
been hailed before a court in Honolulu
and convicted and sentenced to Jail for
thirty days for contempt. The cen
tempt consisted of publishing a cartoon
which reflected unfavorably on the pre-
siding Judge. The Advertiser editoriaiiy
assumes that the Constitutional provision
inhibiting Congress from the passing Oh
any law abridging the freedom or the
press extends to the Territory under the
recent decisions of the Supreme Court,
which make a territory a mere creature
of Congress He holds that a territory
which Is thus subordinate to Congress-
and which was created by it, cannot pos
sess powers of which Congress Is itself
deprived. That is to say, II Congress
cannot pass laws abridging the freedom
of the press it cannot confer upon ter
ritory the right to pass such laws nor
unon the Judges of such territory the
right to enforce them if they exist In
other words the Constitution follows the
flag" Unfortunately for the contention
of the Honolulu editor Congress mas
concluded that the Constitution shall fol-
low the flag only in fragments, and on
the question of the freedom of the Ha-
waiian press. the day of his commitment
to Jail for publishing cartoon may not
have been the Constitutions day for that
particular fragment to follow.
