Sheriff Frank ]. Ham submitted his
first annual report. Cor the year end
ing Nov. 80. to the board of prison in
spectors, Thursday. This being the
first year under the new enforcement
policy, a comparison with the report
Of 1902 will be of interest. The num-
Der of prisoners in JAIL Nov. 80, was
80, while on the same date of the pre-
ceding year there We're SO. In 1902
there We're 5S7 commitments, all from
Kennebec county, while the prisoners
committed during the past year num-
bered 3ST. of whom 80 We're from other
counties, and three were United States
prisoners. There was also a large fail
ing off in the number committed for
drunkenness, there being 1872, against
AS in 1902. For violating the liquor
laws there We're 90 in jail against IL
the previous year. Of other prisoners,
1877 We're committed for non-payment
of fines, rs We're tramps, were poor
aebtOrs, and were bound over for the
January term of court Sheriff Ham
says that the health of the prisoners
for the past year has been remarkably
good.

Protective Association will hold its an
nual meeting at the Falmouth in Port

cation includes the fish and game COM

Middle states, and the Canadian Prov

the association is the interchange of
ideas among those who have in charge
the fish and game interests of the va
rious states and provinces. and also a
concerted movement towards the har-
monizing of the fish and game laws
which are now often in great conflict
in two states or provinces which bor-
der upon each other. The organization
had already resulted in much good and
is expected that the coming meeting
will be the largest and most important
yet held. Hon. L. T. Carleton, Of
Maine. is now president of the associa-
ton. The meetings at Portland, jan
uary 21-22, will be open to the public,
and a large attendance of sportsmen

AS TO THE FREE
KINDERGARTENs

The ladies of the supervising board
of the Free kindergarten Association
met yesterday morning in the pretty
parlor of the Young Women's Christian
Association for their regular monthly
meeting. They heard the usual re-
ports OF officers and chairmen of the
various committees, which showed
commendable progress in the kinder
gartens.
Miss Parke announced that from
several of her friends she had secured
sufficient money to provide the over
crowded Chinese kindergarten with
chairs, which enabled the little Celes-
tials to have comfortable chair each,
in place of the fractional part of a
seat that each had occupied previously
and precariously.
The benefit concert Of last week
proved a great success financially and
aesthetically, and brought five hun
dred dollars to the treasury of the
Association. The ladies spoke CRATE
fully of all who had taken part, or dis
posed of tickets, and passed vote of
thanks to Mrs. Kinney, who had the
affair in charge; to Mr.. Griffiths for
rendering the use of the hall; and to
the press of the city for it's generous
aid in advertising.

a Lucky Find.

Great excitement prevailed at the
fish market early this morning, when
monster shark, the largest ever seen
here, was brought in by some Jap
fishermen. who Immediately proceed
ed to cut the carcass UP. The dorsal
fin of the sea monster, measured nearly
seventy-two inches, and will be pre-
scented to the Bishop Museum. But
the bystanders nearly went wild when
upon opening the stomach of the shark
a variety of ships instruments and
sailors clothes were found, upon ex-
aiming the lining of the stomach there
were also found several cards explain
ing, the merits Of the Douglass Patent
Closet, sold by Bath the Plumber. and
guaranteed against leakage, and the
annoyance Of running water. Phone

Emancipation of Woman

Within the last few months there
have appeared in the daily papers
throughout the country numerous ac-
counts of young women resenting in
suits of the opposite sex in a masculine
style that is to be highly commended.
Women are beginning to realize their
know themselves more thoroughly.
They are drifting fast from the weak
ness and delicate sensitiveness which
in the past was supposed to have been
a part Of their nature.
The Athletic woman has now come to
the fore. She is popular. She is adj
mired and sought after by the more
desirable manageable men. Men are
beginning to realize that marriage
means the building Of home, and
when they become thus seriously in
clined, and understand that in selecting
a wife they are also selecting the moth
er Of their children, strength and health
and other womanly characteristics as
sumo vast importance.
The physical culture wave that is
now sweeping America is beginning to
fan Hawaii. It will teach women the
true value Of the powers they should
possess. Physical culture in the form
of athletics and gymnastics, will soon
enable her to closely approach her
brother in strength and agility. Any
one can readily imagine the value to
the future of the race of all this physi-
cal vigor.
There is at present crying need for
healthy, sturdy mothers. The next gen.
Grafton of Honolulu will marvel at
humanity being so perverse as to find
anything admirable in delicate sickly
body. Any woman, no matter what her
age might be, can regain her strength
and vitality by attending the Woods
Institute. My pupils are getting strong
er every day.

MRS MARY A. LAUMA.
Says, "Dr. Williams Pink Pills Cured
Me of Spinal Troubles and |
Recommend Them.r

Some years ago Mrs. Mary A. Lau-
ma, of No. 7O2 East Fayette street,
Syracuse, n. Y, wife of A. Lauma, the
manufacturing jeweler of that city,
sustained an injury to her spine by fall
ing on a slippery sidewalk. Six months
later she took to her bed and was an
invalid for years, in fact, until she
tried DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People and was cured. She says:
MY trouble was a spinal irritation,
but the doctors could not determine
the exact nature of it. I consulted a
number Of eminent physicians, perhaps
ten or twelve in all, and took treat
ment from some of them. I tried mas
sage and electricity, the latter affording
temporary relief. Perhaps it was be-

rate my stomach gave out and I was
troubled with indigestion and gas on
the stomach. I had a peculiarly I'M
pleasant feeling in my head and there
was numbness in my limbs. At this
time l seemed a confirmed invalid.
g friend of mine induced me to give
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie trial. OF course knew that moth

slant and tried them faithfully. After
taking three boxes 1 began to feel bet

together when I was cured. have rec
commended DR.. Williams Pink Pills to
every ailing person I have met and
am glad to do So
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie are the only eminent spinal tonic
and their distinction in this respect is
due to their double action, on the blood
and on the nerves. No other remedy

it's credit Even after doctors have
failed these life-giving pills have cured
obstinate cases of locomotor ataxia,

its cures of these diseases over large
part of the civilized world The most

COUNTY ACT CONTEST
IN THE SUPREME COURT
Attacked by Mr.. Derby and Defended by At
torney-General Andrews---Sections OF
Organic Act Discussed.

Works, Mr.. Andrews pointed out the
saving clause in Sec. 10 of the Organic
Act, which, following a category of the
powers and duties Of the incumbent,
says that such powers and duties are to
be exercised except as changed by this
Act and subject to modification by the
LEGISLATURE" Was there anything in
herent in the Office of Superintendent of
Public Works that his duties could not
be performed by any other authority
the Legislature might create?
Mr.. Andrews playfully paid Difference
to Mr.. Derby's respect for his new
law partner" but, if his claim of i'm
mutable functions inhering in the SUI
perintendent of Public Works was
right, he asked where was the principle
going to end.
All of the office of Superintendent OF
Public Works was not eliminated by
the County Act. The Legislature con-
tinued salaries for him and his assist
ants. A good many duties were left
to him. But to say that he should for
ever hold on to powers and duties
which the Organic Act merely directed
him to exercise, subject to modifica-
ton by the Legislature, was absurd.
The County Act did not traverse the
Organic Act, Mr.. Andrews commended,
in giving certain new duties to various
public officers designated. The Board
of Public Institutions was not a new
creation like the Board of Agriculture
and Forestry, which handled but one
branch of the Territorial public service.
1t simply implied the comforting of GER
tain powers and duties on the Gov
arnor the A ttorney General tbe SIlDer-
intendent of Public instruction and the
Auditor.
Counsel on both sides will file briefs.
