Importance of Good Clothes.

The woman Of limited means may
plead poverty. but II is more often
improvidence. Many women never
know, and never VIII learn. how to
spend money. The consequence is
that even with a comparatively COM
Portable income they never look well
nor appear TO advantage.
It IS as much a question Of taste
and judgment as Of dollars in the
matter OF grooming. and a woman
who cultivates the art OF dressing
well is the woman who IS always at
her best
The consciousness Of being credita-
bly, groomed gives one a certain
amount Of self-confidence. while one
feels an awkwardness and embarrass-
ment I'm the knowledge Of shabbiness
that cannot well be controlled. No
woman who feels that she is not on

them on equal grounds

A careless woman is even more OBJ

and self-respect in a woman that will

Pearance as tribute TO her vanity. IL

Poverty may excuse one In a meas

THE WORD OF HONOUR.

The men who do as they say:
the things that prove to be what
at they were said to be,-how
cheering it is to come upon them
We all hate to be deceived; es-
pecially when the deception is in
territorial. But all men are not
Liars, even if David did say so in
his haste. If they were society
would be impossible. Everybody
knows that business is based
on credit, on faith. Millions are
bought and sold daily on nothing
more solid than the pledged pro-
misses of men,-not written, mere
ly verbal. The Stock Exchanges
are often called nests of gamblers,
yet nowhere is a promise held
in greater honour. Therefore
when we say that the tried and
effective modern remedy called
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
never deceives any who resort to
it in hope of benefit and cure, we
may expect to be believed. For
this assurance is given on what it
has done in the past in countless
cases,-on it's record. It is only
recommended to accomplish what
it was made to accomplish. It's
action in Chlorosis, Anemia, La
Grippe, General Debility, Throat
and Lung Troubles, Blood I'M
purities, etc. is convincing. 1t is
palatable as honey and contains
the nutritive and curative pro-
perties of Pure Cod Liver Oil,
extracted by us from fresh cod
livers, combined with the Com
pound Syrup of Hypophosphites
and the Extracts Of Malt and
Wild Cherry. DR.. Austin D. r.
vine, of Canada, says: 81 have
used it in cases where cod liver
oil was indicated but could not
be taken by the patient, and the
results following were very graft
flying" It is effective from the
first dose and agrees with the
most sensitive and nervous stom-
achs. 1t cannot deceive or disap-
point you, and comes to the res
cue of those who have received
no benefit from any other treat
ment. It stands for the medical
triumphs Of the age. At chemists.

HOGAN CASE
At An END
The Defendants in Suit
of Minstrel
Win.

Harry Armitage, Willie Lucas and
VIM H. Cornwell. by staying in till the
finish, saved stakes for their code
PENDANTS who had been declared in de-
fault as well as winning out for them
selves in the Orpheum contract case.
Upon the blank for verdict furnished
the jury all of the defendants, includ-
ing one deceased whose estate had to
bear the brunt, were named in the title
and the verdict of the jury rendered
yesterday afternoon was, I'VE the jury
in the above-entitled case find for the
defendants"
In general the defense to the action
was that the syndicate whose money
brought the Hogan minstrel troupe
here two years ago completed the OBJ
legation of the contract when its MEM
bers paid $3.50 apiece for the trans
portation hfther of the troupe, and that
Manager Cohen of the Orpheum had no
authority to agree to pay Hogan and
his fellow-performers stated salaries,
the alleged understanding being that
Hogan was to receive fifty per cent of
the seasons receipts. There was evil
dence that Hogan was paid $3.50 for the
four weeks and the other members of
his company varying amounts accord
ing to their grade.
John F. Colburn was called for the
plaintiff, Carlos A. Long, in the clos
ing hours of the trial and testified to
the money put up by the defendants
and others in the syndicate for bringing
the Hogans here. At certain meet
ing Manager Cohen reported that he
had expended all of the money for pay
whereupon some of the members con-
tributed additional subscriptions.
Those who did not come UP with more
money were sued by the plaintiff as
assignee of Billy Hogan.
H. M. Whitney, Jr., treasurer of the
Oceanic Steamship Co., agency, testi-
fed that Hogan alone had first class
cabin passage, the others taking sec
ond class.
A. A. Wilder of Robertson & Wilder
conducted the case for the defendants.
E. B. Mechanism of Kinney &, Nc
Clanahan, for the PLAINTIFF, noted ex-
ceptions to the verdict and gave notice
of motion for a new trial.
TRIP TO KAIMUKI.
When rebuttal was concluded at $3.50
yesterday afternoon and requested in
structions to the jury presented to the
court, in the case of Joaquin Machado
for assault with weapon, the court
and the jury adjourned to Kaimuki for
the purpose of inspecting the premises
where the fracas occurred. The case
will go to the jury this morning.
According to the testimony. the de-
PENDANTS brother-in-law, Peters, I'M

spending his earnings on drink instead
of applying them to the maintenance of
his household. His remonstrance took
physical form and there was a fight
in which a knife came into action.

Three japanese Held to
Account for Taka's
Death.

Nomura, Tanaka and Hirora, three
japanese, who have figured at differ
ent times as the husbands of Taxa,
the japanese woman who was found
floating in the ocean off the premises
of Governor Dole at Diamond Head on
Sept. 30, will be held to the grand jury
which will investigate the affair and
determine whether or not indictments
for the murder of the woman will be
returned. The coroner's jury which
tentative recommended ton that this
action be taken.
There is a possibility also that the
men may be called before the Federal
they were in the slave trade, that is,
buying and selling the woman who
met her death, possibly by foul means.
The testimony of DR.. J. S. B. Pratt,
Executive officer of the Board of Health,
given before the coroner's jury inquest
held at the police station last night,
was to the effect that the woman had
received blow on her head before the
body had entered the water. Dr. Pratt
read the notes of DR.. Mcdonald, who
made the autopsy, in which DR.. Nc
Donald said the woman had received
IA blow on the head which brought on
her death, superinduced by drowning.
Tanaka Sekimatsu, the wOmans huS-
band when she came to her death, had
bought her for $120 from Nomura. Ia
naka had been the husband for three
weeks. He returned to his home at
Is p. m. and his wife was missing. He
said a search was made for her that
night. The first he knew of her death
was when he heard her body had been
found. He said he and his wife had
had no trouble, and she had been cheer
full when he left her on the evening of
her disappearance.
Nomura had known the woman for
about a year, but had not seen her for
four weeks prior to her death. She
had been his wife before Tanaka bought
her.
The jury brought in the following
verdict:
That the said Taxa Tanaka (w) came
| to her death at Waikiki, Honolulu, on
September 80, from hemorrhage of the
brain caused by a blow on the head in
| flicted by a person to this jury I'M
known.

clothing is among the exhibits in the
case, also a common brand of pocket
knife.
About the knife there was little by
play in court Attorney Robertson for
the prosecution, in the morning, called
on Machado to produce the knife. The
defendant said Mr.. Hogan, one of his
attorneys, had the weapon. Mr.. Ho-
gan guessed" the knife would not be
produced. Judge Gear ordered Macha-
do to produce the knife, if he had it,
when he should return to the stand
after recess. On the resumption of the
trial in the afternoon the court aues-
ltioned the defendant about the knife,
when Mr. Hogan showed the article in
his own hand. On motion of Mr.. Rob-
ertson, the court ordered Mr.. Hogan
to surrender the knife as an exhibit,
which he did.
Self defense is the theory on which
the defendants case goes to the jury.
Machado, in the course of his exam
ination, denied that he promised Peters
to stop drinking. He said he would not
| make such a promise to his father, but
would spend a portion of his earnings
in drink until death. 1t was previously
testified by Machado's wife that her
husband gave her the bulk of his earn
ings.
MOTIONS DECIDED.
Judge Gear denied the motion for
new trial in the case of Matsumoye,
convicted of robbery first degree and
stated that sentence would be pro-
nounced at 10 a. m. today. Mr.. Cath
cart noted an exception to the denial
of motion.
III. Mkt, a japanese policeman, was

LIQUOR CASES.
| The motion to quash the Indictment
of Simoes for selling liquor without a
| license was denied in a written deci-
sion.
| Yanagi, who had been convicted of
selling liquor without license, had his
sentence depending ON the Simoes case.
He was now called and remanded for
sentence until 10 o'clock this morn

SALE OF SALOON.
| In the case of w. c. Peacock & Co.,
Ltd, VS.. H. c. Vida ct al, Judge Gear
confirmed the return and account of
sale by L. C. Ables, commissioner, and
ordered the delivery of deed to the
purchaser. The property is the Califor-
| mia saloon with it's stock trade and
fittings. The plaintiff in the case was
the purchaser at public auction for the
sum of $3.50. The net proceeds were
s101375. The total deficiency on the
debt sued for is $4395.2S.
| AS TO JURIES.
Judge Gear yesterday morning MADE
orders regarding juries as follows.
| H. J. Mossman, grand Juror, was
excused for the term.
| L. P. Fernandez, a trial juror, was
excused for the term.
| All trial jurors not engaged on the
