Thankful Behind Prison Bars.

A most unique Thanksgiving gath
ering, and one which at first thought
would seem to be a contradiction, was
that at Oahu Prison yesterday morn
ing. Warden Henry and Deputy Ka-
mana, as their charges understand AMI
appreciate, believe that occasional dep
utations from the Y. NJ. C. A. are q
help rather than a hindrance to prison
discipline. 1t goes without the say
ing that the everyday life ION the
reef Is monotonous so the special
music and the variety of short talks
We're decidedly welcome to nearly 200
more or less willing listeners. Mrs.
Annis Montague Turner's Aloha Oe,
with chorus sung by all, was greatly
enjoyed. and her singing of Where is.
my wandering boy?" seemed to fur
nish food for thought. Little Miss
Lyle's sunbeam song also seemed to
touch their hearts. The meeting was
conducted by Mr.. John NJ. Martin.
chairman of the committee on prison
services, of the Y. NJ. C. A. Other
outside speakers were Mrs. Carroll.
Mrs. Coe, Rev. ]. II. Behrens and
Messrs, Cooke, Van Valkenberg, Lyle
and Secretary Brown. From the in
side several selections were rendered by
double quartet and some of the most
touching testimonies were given.

HONOLULU AS
TRANSPORT POINT

WASHINGTON, Nov. Lett has
been thought proper in an official re-
port to refer to the army transport SER
vice as a most costly luxury says g.
F.. Humphrey, Quartermaster General
of the Army, in his annual report to
the Secretary of War, which was is
! sued today.
"As to it's costliness, I submit actual
| figures and facts. l do not know in
what respect the service can be looked
| upon as a luxury, unless reference is
make to the excellence of the enlisted
| mems accommodations. If it be a
luxury to furnish our enlisted men
| with the class of accommodations now
provided in all the army TRANSPORTS.
then 4 favor, the continuance of that
luxury. %
I'm my opinion the transport service
needs no defense whatever, and no ex-
cuse is offered for it by the department
charged with it's operation. i, for one,
do not claim that there is any mex
orable military necessity for it's con-
tinuance, but submit that the service
1 Is ii very anu
, economical military convenience"
The duties that have been performed
through the transport service, with the
relative costs of transportation by the
Government, and by contract are
shown in the report. Insular transport
service for the year cost s939,606 in the
Philippine archipelago, while the cost
of transporting the same numbers of
passengers and animals and the same
amount of freight and mail under the
prevailing tariff rates of the Philippine
steamship companies, the report says,
would have been $l027,977.
During the year 1880 passengers
We're carried by the transport service
between the United States, the Philip
pines, Hawaiian Islands and Alaska.
Freight carried between the same
points amounted to 6S,221 tons.
Remains of 329 officers, enlisted men
and civilian employees We're brought
home. and there We're transported be-
tween the States and the Philippines
1861 pieces of baggage, 53l, ISL pounds
of mail, sS,9l6,000 in the United States
currency and coin and six horses.
Recommendation Is made that Homo
lulu be declared a regular port of call
for all transports going to and return
ing from the Philippines. On account
of the inability of the department to
realize anywhere near the value of
| transports no longer needed for the
service when offered for sale, it has
been determined to lay up the spare
ships in the harbors on the Atlantic
coast and at San Francisco. These
ships will be kept in condition to be
put into service ON short notice should
any emergency arise requiring their

The Board OF Health, having sur
plus under the six months bill for the
pay of inspectors did not hand It back
to the Treasury but divided 1t among
those officials. The amount was not
large, which was wherein it differed
from the principle at stake. 1t has not
seemed to occur to the Board that
these are hard times and that the
Treasury needs every dollar that be-
longs to 1t; incidentally that the pos
session Of a surplus under any cir
cumstances, does not signify that the
money ought to be given away. The
Advertiser notes that the Board has
raised the pay of inspectors from SIS
to 800 per month. Men quite as COM
petent and responsible hire out to the
Rapid Transit Company for ten hours
day work at 800 per month and there
are always more applicants than Jobs.

With the spread of lantana checked

Once cleared always cleared is the

Ammons-Reeves.

Wedding bells rang out again this
week in Decatur proclaiming two of our
best young people as partners through
life. The happy couple are Miss Jessie
Reeves, eldest single daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Nelson g. Reeves, who live
about three miles west of Decatur, and
Mr.. Clarence E. Ammons, son of Mr..
and,Mrs. VIM. q. Ammons who live
just north of Decatur. A few relatives
only, of the bride and groom, their
parents and the brothers and sisters of
the bride and Mrs. Rev. Scoggan were
present at the wedding which was cele
brated Wednesday evening, Jan. q,
1908, at the home of the bride. Rev.
e. B. Scoggan of Decatur otficiated and
read the beautiful marriage ceremony of
the Methodist Episcopal church. Miss
Bessie Brazelton, cousin of the groom,
played the wedding march as the bride
and groom entered the parlor. The
bride has resided near Decatur for
about three years and is one OF our best
christian young women. During the
short time she has resided among US
she has won many warm friends who
unite in wishing her and her husband a
long and happy welded life. The
groom has resided near Decatur since
early boyhood and is one of our most
enterprising and upright young men.

The evidence was commenced Tuesday
morning and the state closed its case
about 2 o'clock yesterday after using 10

catur City bank testified to receiving a

the credit of Greenland. There was also
other very damaging testimony against
the defendant. The taking of the tes-

at the time The REPORTER goes to press.

denied that the defendants drove cat
