Home Rule Platform
SENT OUT
To All Party Workers

Copies of the recently constructed
Home Rule platform are being distri-
buted to members of the party
throughout the Islands. The platform
Is as follows:
The Independent Home Rule party OF
the Territory of Hawaii. asserts as our
fundamental principle the self-evident
truth that all men are created equal in
the eye of the law and are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalienable
rights among which are life. liberty
and pursuit of happiness. That the
American principles of freedom and
liberty have first been established here
in Hawaii by the great Home Ruler,
Kamehamcha l., when he declared the
Mamalahoe decree that the old men,
old women and children could sleep In
the highways without mOlestation," to
be law in his realm.
We hereby reafiirm our mistaken be-
lief in the cardinal tenets of the indie
pendent Home Rule party as set forth
in It's platform Of June I. 1900, and
pledging ourselves anew to. continued
advocacy OF those grand principles of
human liberty. We hold that the pur-
pose of government Is to secure every
citizen in the enjoyment of this right.
We also hold that the true theory OF
politics Is that the machinery of gov
crnment must be owned and controlled
by the direct votes of the people, and 1t
should be governed for the people, by
the people and of the people. "NoX
pupuli, viz Dei-The voice of the peO-
pie Is the voice of Cod"
We denOunce the Capitalization OF
power in the hands of few without
popular vote, as un-repubNcan and UNI
democratic. We believe that all Re
pubicans and Democrats, the whole
nation OF the United States are alike
home rulers, for they are governing
their own state affairs by the direct
vote of the people.
This party expresses its high appre'
citation of the good will shown by thu
President and all the officers Of the
| Executive Department OF the United
States, for the people of this Territory
in their cooperation with Hawaii;
Delegate We also give thanks to the
Senators and Representatives Of tbs
several States and also the Delegates
of the Territories OF the Union In Con
gress for the assistance which Ha
walls Delegate received from them ii

we thank the American people for tn,
kindness that they expressed for ou

confined to bed by sickness, That w

pledge ourselves to re-eleCt him a
such Delegate for the Territory of Ha
wall for the 5Sth Congress, beginning
in March. 1903, at the coming genera
election in November Q9O2) next.

THE CHRISTMAS TRADE.
Gifts VIII he More Substantial ana
Useful Than Ever Before.

Gifts VIII he More Substantial and
Useful Than Ever Before.
The Christmas business that is done
annually by the Savannah stores will
start in with a rush to-day, and 1t is
predicted by the retail dealers that the
trade this year will eclipse anything
ever done in the holiday line hereto
fore The yuletide gifts this season are
far more useful than ornamental to
any ever offered. and on this account
a great business is anticipated between
now and Christmas.
The children, however. will be excep-
lions to this line of trade, as was
shown Saturday by the numbers that
thronged about the department stores
and refused to leave these fairylands
of wonder for the more prosaic coun-
tiers of the elders.
In spite of the disagreeable weather
OF the past week a large crowd of
shoppers were out Saturday. Many OF
the big stores have advertised holiday
goods ever since thanksgiving, and
as result all business in this line was
good.
In most Of the stores the selling force
of employees has been increased double
The windows of most all establish
ments will be artisticaIly decorated
this week and from now on until New
Years Day the rush will be enormous
Several of the merchants this years
sales of Chris tmas gifts will not only
be composed of, for the most part. of
useful articles, but an unusually high
grade of purchases will be the rule.
This Improvement in the lasting
value and quality Of Savannah's an
nual Christmas offerings has, mer-
chants say, been a noticeable develop
ment in the trade Of the past few
years, and has undoubtedly come to
stay, at least as long as the prosperity
remains with the country.
Clothing, furniture and rugs. all of
very high quality, have so far been the
leading articles bought by Christmas
shoppers. The people are becoming
expert buyers, and they are not con-
tent to spend their money upon the
cheap novelties and fripparies that
used to make up the holiday business,
and all the stores show better goods
than ever before.
With these conditions the toy sales
will keep up well, as nothing pleases
child more than top. be II ever so
trifing, and for ages to ages a child
will be a child, and Christmas with
them the same. Santa Claus is a fix
ture and the stocking will hang by the
mantle Dec. "a the same as II did years
ago, and just as full will the most OF
them be filed with nick-nacks as they
were in the years when we were chill
dren.
Any and all Of these needs can he

from the way the holiday trade has

Fireman Hughes Had n Narrow Es-
cape While Duck Hunting.
Fireman w. d. Hughes of station
No. 2 and the crack shot of the fire
department had a narrow escape from
drowning Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Hughes left the city at noon,
duck hunting and arriving at the cross
tides put out his decoys and pushed
the boat back into the marsh, waiting
for the ducks to arrive. A short time
lapsed, when ten or twelve fine raft
ducks swooped down to the decoys.
Hughes fired both barrels of his gun
into the bunch, killing four. His dog,
which he had chained to the thwart
OF the boat made a leap to retrieve
the fowls and in some way the chain
became entangled about Hughes legs.

boat and into the water.
His fine Smith gun was also thrown
In the water and lost, and it was only
by hard efforts that Hughes extricat-
ed himself from the chain and clumbed
back into the boat. The impromptu
ducking gave Hughes a bad cold, and
he received several bruises, but the
ducks he had bagged furnished a .lice
bake for the members of the company
which were thoroughly enjoyed.

BUSY WEEK FORTHE COURTS


This week will be a busy one in the
courts Besides mass of civil bust
ness i'm the City Court, there are 20
criminal cases already set for trial in
the Superior Court, all of which are
felonies.
The grand jury will not meet untIi
Friday afternoon, unless a special ses-
sion is called. 1t is quite probable that
some matters of Importance will come
up before the jury at it's next meeting.
The solicitor general has already ex-
pressed his intention of bringing the
case OF the Diamond Queen" to the
attention of the jurors. 1t is also like
ly that the Kiley case will be investi-
gated.
Abe Cohen Murder Trial.
There are two murder cases on the
calendar this week. The first the case
against Abe Cohen, colored, will be
heard to-day. This is the second
trial of the case, the jury on the for
mer trial having returned a verdict of
guilty. Cohen was sentenced to hang
Sept 5, but a new trial was obtained
from the Supreme Court on techni-
cality.
Mr.. James E. Evans, counsel for Co.
hen, thinks that his client will not
hang. He says he will adduce evil
dence at the trial of an entirely differ
ent nature from that given at the last
trial This evidence, he says, will at
least serve to mitigate the offense, and
will result in a lesser verdict. He
said that he has little doubt that his
client will be saved from the gallows.
This de-
rected to show that the woman whom
Cohen murdered had treated him in a
manner that gave him some provoca-
ton for his deed.
Next in Importance of the criminal
cases is that of Willie Calvin, a negro,
who will be tried for the murder of
Rosa Price, on Sept. 3. The deed was

AT THE THEATER

Pineros THE Second Mrs Tanque-
ray" will be seen the first time in Sa-
vannah at to-day's matinee and to-
night. Almost every actress OF rep
utation has appeared, or clamored to
appear, as the much discussed Paula
Ray, afterwards The Second Mrs.
Tanqueray." The same storm of con-
troversy that ragged around THE Mo-
torious Mrs. Ebbsmith," and later
around Iris" has been rising and fall
ing around Paula Tanqueray intermit-
tently for some years. That It
is a brilliant play, written in brilliant
English, and constructed with great
fineness and Skill even those who as
sail it, on the ground that such So
cial problems are unfit for stage pre-
sentation, freely admit, Miss Coghlan
is said to dress and play the part SUI
perbly. The last act, In which she
discovers the identity of the man who
is to marry the pure, convent-taugnt
daughter Of Aubrey Tanqueray, whom
she has nicknamed saint" Ellen, Is
an exhibition of the torture of a suffer-
ing woman fully awake to the reall-
cation Of the precept, las we SOW, so
shall We reap" The prices for the

night performance $3.50, 81, soc and
rs cents.
The engagement Of the Howard Kyle
Company Wednesday, matinee and
night, promises to be one of the events
Of the season. Mr.. Kyle long since
won for himself a warm place in the
regard of the patrons of playhouses
throughout the country. His attractive
npFEnnalifV N ,xrtt
merit, achieved for him a wide pop
uiarity early in his career, and his
admirable performances since he I'M
dertook stella responsibilities have
amply justified the good opinion
formed of him whilst supporting many
of the leading figures on the stage
during the last decade. Last year he
won merited recognition with his ex-
cellent production of Clyde Fitch's
famous play Nathan Hale" and his
success this season, both in that play
and in the new vehicle for his talents.
Laughter and Lies which has been
especially written for him by Asa
Steele, has been no less pronounced.
Mr.. Kyle will present Nathan Hale
at the matinee, and his new play at
night. He is supported this year by
Miss Florence Smythe, young actress
whose ability has placed her well UP
on the stage.
Friday matinee and night BARLEY
Campbells while Slave" will be the
attraction. There is a good deal of
sentiment connected with this piece
for the reason that ii has held sway
for nearly twenty years, during which
time many thousands of the young
people who applauded 1t In it's first
flush of success have married and
raised families who have grown to a
play-going age, and these youngsters
are as interested in the story of slavery
days as were their ancestors.
The White Slave appeals to every
age. 1t is American history and Is
clean and wholesome, made up Of
laughter and tears. There are a few
of these plays such as The Silver
King" The Two Orphans Lights
of London" siberia" and The White
Slave" that made melodrama popular
and have been but poorely initiated
by the present day productions of this
particular kind Of play.

The Williams Assault Case.
The case of Stab williams and John
Williams, accused of assault with in
tent to murder, is also set for trial to-
day. 1t is hardly probable that the
case Will be reached. as the trial OF
the Cohen case will probably occupy
the attention of the court throughout
the day Three or four cases are to
be tried on each day of the week. In
most of these the defendant is repre-
scented by younger members Of the bar,

defense. though in some cases the

OF the civil cases in the City Court,

Rev. ]. w. Malone, d. D., transfer
from the Mississippi Conference to the
South Georgia Conference. and now
stationed at Brunswick, preached in
Wesley Monumental Church yesterday
morning and last night.
AT the morning service DIR. Malone
preached on the Church OF Christ, It's
influence and purpose, its significance
to the world and it's Importance, point
ing out with stress the bountiful reve-
lation of its work in the lives of men
who live faithful to its teachings.
At the evening service he took for
his text HE came to HIS own and his
own received him not" In expound-
ing this text he gave reasons why the
world of Christ's day rejected him and
why the world of to-day rejects him.
In explanation of the rejection of
Christ while he was on earth he gave
the familiar reason that His people OF
that time were looking for a worldly
conqueror who would restore Israel
to them. Christ's kingdom was not OF
worldly kind and because he de-
nounced their depravlty and advised
reformation they, not willing to re-
form, crucifed Him. DIR. Malone
pleaded for reformation now and the
acceptance OF ChriSts teachings.
DIR. Malone. besides being in charge
of pastorates in Mississippi, was also
at times engaged in educational work
there, having been appointed by diff
ferent conferences to serve in secta-
rien seminaries.
While in the city he is the guest of
Judge Samuel b. Adams, on CASTOR
street. He will leave to-day for
Brunswick and will remain there dur
ing the ensuing year, unless other work
has been assigned for him by the
South Georgia Conference, which end
ed SATURDAY.

But, the memorial we celebrate is even
greater. 1t is presided over by the

States army, was arrested here and
carried to Fort Mcpherson yesterday
afternoon and delivered to the author
tiles. Culledge enlisted in the army
at Augusta, June, IL. 1901, and desert
ed Nov. 20, 1902, while stationed at
Fort Riley, Kan. The officers have
been on the outlook for him for sew
eral days and arrested him before he
had been in the city many hours.
When Gulledge left Griffin to join
the army he left behind a young wife
who never knew what had become of
him until the officers here were noti-
fed of his desertion. His disappear
ance created considerable excitement,
and many believed that he had been
murdered. Several wells and ponds In
the western suburbs of the city were
dragged for his remains, but nothing
was ever heard from the young man
until the government authorities un-
dertook to apprehend him for desertion.
