p. {. JONES ILL
WITH NEURALGIA

P. c. Jones, of the Bank of Hawaii
and Brewer & Company, as well as
other financial institutions, and proni-
nently connected with many concerns of
the city and islands, is at his home in
Kuakini road severely i'll with neuraIeia
of the bowels
For some time Mr.. Jones has been
suffering from the intercostal neuralgia
and during his service in the grand
jury, of which he has been the foreman
he has probably caught new cold, which
settled in the abdomen The attack
came on suddenly on Thursday even
ing, and his condition was such that his
physician and a nurse spent the night
IN trying to relieve his pain.
Yesterday he had somewhat recover
ed and it was said by DR. Mays that
he had hopes that Mr. Jones would be
able to be about the first of the week.
MIR. Jones is averse to staying in the
house and it is with difficulty that his
attendants keep him quiet. He has in
timated to friends that he expects to
be at work again on Monday.

METHODIST FAIR
IS A SUCCESS
Bad Weather Causing the Nov
ing Of the Booths
Inside.

Last evening the ladies of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church gave a fair at
the church grounds, of which the es-
pecial feature was a New Englad sup
per. Owing to the rains the tables and
booths had to be removed later into
the parsonage, and while this rear
rangement made the crowd seem great
er, it detracted nothing from the enjoy
ment of the evening.
There were two hundred people who
sat down to the supper and enjoyed the
special serving of baked beans and
brown bread, and ate heartily of the
doughnuts and apple pie like mother
used to make" The sale was very
successful, all the candies, the flowers
and pictures being disposed of, as well
as most of the fancy articles.
The supper was served in the dining
room of the parsonage, and the fancy
booth placed in the parlor, while the
refreshments and other features were
disposed of on the lanais.
The supper was in charge of Mrs.
Johnson, Mrs. Webb. Mrs. Bachelor.
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Bagwell. At the
fancy work booth Mrs. Stone, Mrs.
Coyne, Mrs. Finley and Mrs. Ramsey
officiated. Miss Ripley, Miss Miller
and Miss Hughes were at the CANDY
tables; Mrs. heidelberg and Mrs. E. S.
Stone at the ice cream, and Mrs. Walk
er, Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Downing
at the art booth. The fair netted close
to $500.

SOCIETY
GREETS THE
YOUNGFOL

Honolulu society was formally pre-
scented to Mr.. and Mrs. c. Montague
Cooke at a reception. given at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. c. Ne. Cooke last
evening, which in appointments and at
tendance was remarkable and closed
fittingly the weeks large social events.
For two hours the guests passed in
continuous line before the receiving
party and it was long after the formal
receiving of friends of the hosts before
the good nights We're said.
The handsome residence was thrown
open in it's entirety and there had been
constructed on the rear lawn a large
addition where refreshments were sery-
ed. Throughout there were decorations
of green's, palms and flowers being
used prodigally on the spacious lanais
and TO bring out the beauties Of the
drawing rooms. The passage way to
the refreshment apartment was COW
cred with great flags and the bright
colors of the bunting added to the beau
ty of the scene when the room was fill
ed with guests in bright hued costumes.
The grounds were decorated with
long strings of lanterns, whose varied
| hues made the picture one of festival
character, all the driveways being
picked out with the lights which form
ed converging lines eliminating at the
entrance ways, where a flood of radi-
ance was shed from the many electric
lamps, whose blaze shone from portal
and window all over the mansion.
On the lawn waikiki of the house,
| the Hawaiian band was stationed and
furnished the music which enlivened
| the occasion. The program rendered
was one which was largely Hawaiian.
| Despite the light showers of the even
| ing. there was nothing which detracted
! from the enjoyment.
The guests were received at the main
| entrance on the makai front by corps
/ of ushers and escorted above stairs.
| The receiving party was stationed in
1.-The drawing room to the right and
/ there the visitors were presented to the
host by Charles H. Atherton, Mrs.
Cooke performing the introductions to
| the young couple who completed the
| party. Every room in the house was
/ early filed with guests and the lanais
as well were crowded with the many
| who gathered to welcome back the
| young people.
| On the eva lanai there was great
punchbowl from which lemonade was
served during the evening, and there
/ was a constant stream of guests pass
ing through the rooms, about the house
and to the apartment where ices and
light refreshments were in constant
service.
| The guests of the evening numbered
representatives of the old families as
well as those who are later corners, in
cluded Admiral Rodgers and others OF
| the naval officers now in the city, men
| of business and finance and represen-
tatives of every interest of the city
The illness of Governor and Mrs. Dole
/ prevented their attendance, which was
| much regretted.

Chief Austin of the bureau Of statis-
tics at Washington is under fire on
the charge Of having used the clerical
force under his command to compile
information which he is alleged to have
used in contributions to periodicals for
his private gain. The charge comes
from an angry subordinate and doubt
less has no foundation. But it supplies
an opportunity for saying what he have
long had in mind to say; and that is,
that never in the history of statistical
calculation has better work been done
than is now being done by the depart
ment over which Mr.. Austin presldes.
The fact that Mr.. Austins work is in
demand outside of official channels is
an increased testimonial to his cfIl-
cheney.

THE WHIPPING POST.
For The Tribune.

For The Tribune,
The justice OF law, fail to see,
That makes the innocent share in the penalty,
That evil doing merits punishment,
Goes without question, but the innocent
Should not be made the punishment to share
And laws that make them are anything but fair
A fine, unless so ridiculously small,
That it becomes no punishment at all,
Especially if the culprir poor shall be,
Is punishment 10 his whole family.
And many a household actual want has known,
That sOcallcd Justice might receive its own.
\ foolish man, who takes glass too luuch
And finds himself in outraged iusticas clutch,
Is dragged before the bar without delay,
And made some dollars, as fine to pay,
Get il he must in some way, ii he fail,
lie knows hc will be cartcd of TO Jail.
+. And though his family want for food and clothes,
The fine is paid that "Justice" doth impose.
For such case | advocate the lash.
And not the taking of his hard earned cash.
A few smart blows upon his naked pelt,
Would he a sentence by the culprit tclt
And wife and children not be made TO bear
The price for wrong in which they had no share
DON'T lit your hands in horror and declare
That 'twould be barbarous, brutal or unfair;
'Iwould simply carry ont the laws intent,
Serving to punish, also TO prevent.
All men are towards unto some deqee,
Anu llle lllN7L ulNNhl alt must AuNdlNlRr
And though both Jail and fine they boldly dare
OF their mean hides they'd take right precious
care,
Aud II they were caught once, It would suiRce
They'd not como back to take it twice or thrice
How many "drunks" would be upon the street2
How many "tramps" or "hobos" would you
mCet2
How many petty criminals would there be,
Ii whipping punished their rascalty2
whipping post in every town, and soon
Tramps would be raror than snowaakes in June; 4;
And as a temperance measure it would reach
Farther than all the orators, who preach;
The rogue, who half enjoys a term in Jail,
Before sentence of the lash would quail
The brute, who robs his family to buy drink
The whipping post would cause to stop and think.
The man, VINO treats his family with neglect,
Would hold the cat-o'-nine tails in respect
Each person weak and yeiously inclined,
Would have the penalty impressed upon his mind,
And many a vicious person it would check,
Who, for your iails and Gnes, has no respect

tremes q fierce battle waged. but final
ly n basis of harmony was evolved. a
protocol was signed declaring that the
principles declared at the international
peace conference recently held upon In
vitation of the czar OF Russia at The
Hague shall be considered as American
public law: and the United states
and Mexico were authorized to Jointly
negotiate with the signatory powers OF
The Hague convention for the admis-
sion into it of the other nations of the
American hemisphere when they shall
ask to be admitted.
Supplementing this protocol an arti-
Gle was adopted requesting the presi-
dent of Mexico to ascertain the views
of the different governments represent
ed in the conference regarding the
most advanced form in which gem
eral arbitration convention could he
drawn that would meet with the APP
proval and secure the final ratification
of all the countries in the conference;
and after the conclusion of his inquiry
to prepare II plan for such general
convention as would apparently meet
the wishes of all the republics. If pos
slble he is to arrange for Il series OF
protocols to carry the plan into eNecu-
ton, or if this should be found inn
practicable, to present the correspond
euce with a report to the next confer
encc. AS balm to the nations which
insisted upon compulsory arbitration,
lp1
ties accepting the compulsory feature
drawn and signed by them. These trea-
ties OF course, affect only the coun tries
signing them
The United States delegation, Mr..
Pepper says, kept itself we'll in the
background so far as controversies
went, and contented itself with exer-
cising moral influence. Thus it allayed
any possible feeling OF jealousy which
might have existed and calmed the
delusion that this country is animated
with desire to play the boss over the
other republics. Before the conference
ended the feeling of the other delegates
toward the United States was most
cordial. Proof of this was shown, says
Mr.. Pepper, when the problem of the
inter- oceanic canal, which has been the
source Of uneasinesS and many conflict
ing. views, was solved by Il generous
resolution applauding the purpose Of
the United States to construct the canal
as worthy of the greatness of the
American people and in the highest
sense q work of civilization. This res
olution, as q special compliment, was
signed by all the delegations except
that OF the United States.
The future, of course, must deter
mine how much good will come out Of
these efforts to bring about a better
understanding among the frequently
Jealous American republics. 1t is nat
urally q problem the solution Of which
takes time. That the drift is in the
direction Of harmony is encouraging;
and craftsmanship can only wait, work
and hope.

"\HE PAY of the Federal
judiciary is absurdly out OF
Il proportion to the income of
men of equal ability in ac-
tive practice of the law. This is es-
pecially true of the judges of the Su-
preme court. If it were proposed by
a president of the United States to
nominate for justice Of our highest
tribunal a man who, in the practice of
his profession, had not been able to
impress his ability upon the public
consciousness sufficiently to earn more
than the salary Of the judicial office, a
howl of protest would arise from one
end Of the country to the other.
1t is proper to consider that when a
man is named for a judicial office the
people expect him to abandon all avo-
cations of q proflt-winning character
and give his whole time, talent and at
tention to the functions and duties of
his office. This is not true of any other
class of Federal employees. There is no
impropriety in a congressman, for in
stance, or a revenue collector or a
postmaster having personal business
interests aside from the interests OF
The government. He can invest in real
estate or engage in a mercantile pur-
suit or speculate. The only REQUIRE
nent Is that he shall be honest and
straightforward with the government.
But the judge on the bench can do
none of these things. No matter how
honest may be the business enterprise
n which he is asked to participate.
there is an unwritten but imperious
rule founded on the highest propriety
that he must be absolutely aloof from
all things not Immediately germane to
his office.
The United States pays it's judiciary
the smallest salaries, in proportion to
the work and character required, of
those paid by leading countries; yet
every year the requirements are in
creasins and the standards of living
considered becoming to the judicial
station are growing more costly. SEN
ator Hoar has introduced q bill in
creasing these salaries 20 per cent, and
1t should pass. BY right, the salaries
ought to be doubled.

The Pan.Amerlcan Congress.

~ NE OF the American represent
tatives at the Pan-American
~ congress which recently con-
cluded its sittings In the City
of Mexico was Charles NJ. Pepper, the
well known newspaper man. In letter
TO the Washington Star he gives an
Informing review of what the congress
,yas in its personnel and what it did.
All the countries OF the western hemi-
Sphere were represented except Brazil.
One Of her delegates died so soon be-
fore the congress opened that 1t was
not thought proper to name u success
sor, and her place, consequently, was
vacant. Two weeks before the con-
sress adjourned, Venezuela withdrew
her delegation. Otherwise the congress
was representative of the nineteen re-
publics invited to it.
Mr.. Pepper speaks we'll of the person.
mel of the congress. 1T was, he says,
representative in the fullest sense.
Members of congress, vice presidents,
cabinet ministers, diplomatlsts OF ex-
perience and prospective presidents
composed it. All came with pre-
arranged programmes. to which they
adhered loyalty; and many sharp diff
ferences developed, but they clung to
the main purposes of the conference
until finally a basis of harmony was
reached. The significance of the con-
gress rests less in what was actually
accomplished than in the impetus
which it has given to the spirit of Pan
Americanism. Mr.. Pepper reports that
there was a general looking forward
among the Latin-Amercan delegations
to future congresses and to the knit
ting together of American interests
which they will effect
The one great topic which engaged
the attention OF the congress, and
which nearly caused a breaking up Of
the assembly. was international arbl-
tration for the countries of the west
ern hemisphere. There were delega-
tions which wanted peace so earnestly
that they would have fought to make
arbitration of all differences eompul-
sorry. Others, in turn, Were opposed TO
arbitration in any form that seemed
TO threaten a curbing Of the land

The tobacco leaf used for wrapping
cigars comes almost entirely from
Sumatra. 1t costs from 30 cents to
So pound, in addition to the duty Of
$1.S5 which it has to pay at our GUS
tom house. Some time ago the agrl-
cultural department. imported seed of
the Sumatra tobacco and undertook the
experiment Of growing it in this coun-
try. Certain soil in Connecticut seemed
we'll adapted and there the seed was
planted, the plants, when sprouted, be-
ing protected by cheese-cloth screens.
A harvest OF this crop, amounting to
about 10000 pounds, is nearly ready
to be sold. 1t will be sold at auction
in New York on it's merits. 1t has cost
so cents q pound and the belief among
tobacco men is that it will bring in
open market not less than 81 pound,
q price both low enough to undercut
the imported leaf and high enough to
provide a profit of slightly more than
100 per cent. for the domestic growers
and handlers. Score another for
Yankee ingenuity.
