The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1902-09-23

Work in public or private is the rule
of the Senatorial Commission and i'm
mediately upon the return of the Sena-
tors from their Hawaii trip they got
down to hard labor in earnest Two
sessions were held yesterday and the
results show that deal of ground has
been covered and the way opened for
some progress during the remainder of
the week.
There was a temporary tie up of the
workings of the investigators last even
ing, all due to a consideration of the
propriety of the course of the question
ing which was being undertaken by At
torney Humphreys, who represented the
former queen in her claim for the crown
lands. The attorney began to pursue a
line that indicated that he would en-
deavor to open the whole question of
the part played in the events of Jan
uary 18th, 1893, by the representatives
of the United States and Chairman
Mitchell stopped the hearing.
The evening session was called for
$3.50 o'clock and it was something past
that hour when Chairman Mitchell ap-
peared before the largest audience that
has yet been present at a session of
the committee, and announced that
there would be no hearing. He said that
he and his colleagues had taken a great
mass of testimony and they needed
some time for executive sessions to
consider it. He said also that there
were some questions on which the
members of the committee were at varl-
ance and these differences would be
harmonized so that the work could be
pressed to conclusion, it was hoped
by Friday evening of the present week.
The general understanding is that the
opinion of the majority of the Com
mission is that the entire question of
the events of 1893 has been SO thor
oughly investigated by previous agents
and committees of the United States
Congress that history should be taken
as conclusive and the matters bearing
upon the results not reopened at this
time Should this sentiment prevail
there would be little time consumed in
the hearing of the testimony to be Of
fered, as the printed reports are at
hand and are familiar to the members
of the Commission.

Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1902-12-29

It was decided that Mr. Wright must
administer a stern lecture to his four
year-old daughter Florence. The little
girl had been naughty, but she did not
seem to appreciate the fact, and Mr..
Wright reluctantly undertook "scold.

He hated to make the tender little
heart ache and to see the dear child cry,
but he forced himself to speak judi
ciously and severely. He recounted her
misdeeds and explained the why and
wherefore Of his stern rebuke. Mrs.
Wright sat by, looking duly impressed.
Finally Mr. Wright paused for breath

man was passing the barrow Of cos
termonger who was weighing out
plums to customer. The coster as
costers do, quickly chucked off the top
plum as overweight. The policeman,
as policemen do, took casual plum as
his perquisite. But the bitter was bit,
for his teeth ground hard upon the
iron simulacrum Of plum. 1t was
the very one the coster had thrown
of the balance. Now, what could a
policeman do? AS gentleman he
could neither prosecute, for the situa'
ton was delicate one, nor steal a
business asset. He took the right
course. He returned the iron plum to

Mayor Smythe of Charleston Applies
the story to William j. Bryan's
Case.
Washington, Aug. 4.-Democratic pol
iticians are growing weary of the con-
tinuous conversations of William Jen-
nings Bryan, and they do not hesitate
to crack jokes at his expense and APP
ply to him all kinds of stories sugges-
tive of a surplus of breath on his part,
which is of no material benefit to the
Democratic party.
A group of Democrats were recent
ly discussing Mr.. Bryan's interminable
breath, when Mayor Smythe of Charles
ton was reminded of the following
story:
There was an old negro woman
down in South Carolina" said the
Mayor, who was addicted to the habit
of smoking a vile pipe, with a most
offensive brand of tobacco. She was
taken dangerously ill, and when the
doctor called to see her he found her
smoking that disgusting old pipe. The
doctor could hardly stand the fumes
of the patients breath, occasioned by
the pipe. He demonstrated with her
and said, with a view to frightening
her: Old woman, they would never
let you into heaven with that breath
1.-THE old woman turned restlessly up
on her corn shuck bed and replied,
with apparent Indifference: Doctor,
1 spec l lose dat breath before / goes
to heaven"
The application is that Bryan will
have to lose his breath before the DEM
ocratic party can win the presidency.

TENDERS ARE NO GOOD.
Agencies of Deaths, Not Safety, Says
President Baldwin.

Agencies of Deaths, Not Safety, Says
President baldwin.
The agitation in favor of tenders for
trolley cars that has been recently in
progress in Savannah, and that still
continues, is not likely to result in
their adoption by the Savannah Elec-
trio Company. The fender never Will
be adopted by that company unless a
new and efficient one is patented.
THE fact of the matter is. said
President George j. Baldwin. that
trolley car tenders are agencies. not
of safety, but of death. Instead of de-
creasing accidents, they increase them,
both in number and seriousness. In
stead of picking up a person standing
on the track, the person is thrown to
the ground, drawn under the wheels
and mangled to death without Il chance
of escape. A man struck by the fen
der of a trolley car is not affected at
all in the same way as pencil struck
at its base by moving object. This
is not theory either. but the verified
result of actual practice.
IF an efficient fender were invented
no trolley company in the world-cer-
tainly not this one-would hesitate a
moment in adopting them If the Off
GERS of the company had no consider
alton for the lives of the people, fnan-
cial considerations would dictate this
action. Accidents happen every year,
and If we could decrease our expendi-
ture for the settlement of damage
claims by the addition or tenders to
our equipment we would gladly do it,
The only reason we don't use tenders
is because they do great deal more
harm than good"

A CHILLY GREETING.
That Is what Bryan Received in
New Jersey.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Trenton, N. j., Friday.-William
Jennings Bryan was given the cold
shoulder by the New Jersey Demo-
cracy to-day. He spent the afternoon
and evening in the state, but failed to
draw a good handful of people at any
point He was entertained at the home
of James II. Birch, of Burlington,
where Mayor Charles G. Flanders. a
Republican official, was the only lead
ing politician to pay him homage.
Mr. Bryan was on his way from New
York to Maryland, where he is to make
a speech tomorrow, and on the invi-
tation of Mr.. Birch paid a visit to
New Jersey. Twice before the Nebras-
kan has been the guest of Mr. Birch,
and each time was given an ovation.
There was not a corporals guard at
the Burlington station. Trenton has a
Democratic Mayor, and is normally a
Democratic city, but not one Demo-
crat went to the Clinton street station
to shake his hands.
