CHARITY OF
JAPANESE
Semi-AnnuaI Meeting of
the Benevolent
Society,"

The semi-annual meeting of the Jap
anese Benevolent Society was held
Saturday evening in the Japanese
school building on Nuuanu street Re
ports from all the officers were pre-
sented, and DR.. Mort. president. adj
dressed the society as follows:
II herewith submit our report Of
work done by the Japanese Benevolent
Society in Honolulu during the semi
annual period ending February 2S 1903.
We are glad to state that we have
been able to care for many helpless pa
tients in our hospital, and also to help
pay the passages back to Japan for
some poor ones.
Modern charity is not satisfied with
giving present relief alone. Its aspira-
ton is also to rescue men and women
from poverty and ignorance and crime
To transform the dependent family to
a self-supporting family is a direct
benefit to the whole community. Crime
prevented is a vast gain over crime
punished. For this purpose. our Jap
anese religious workers in the city
have helped US by preaching every
week at the Japanese Charity Hospital,
which is highly appreciated by US and
the patients.
I'VE present our sincere thanks for
the moral and financial support we
have received from this generous com
munity. Money given in charity is al
most always given with a sincere de-
sire to help those who are unfortunate
1t is our happy duty as charity workers
to ascertain the best methods by which
the money may be made to accomplish
~
apply the method, and we trust that
your confidence in US has not been
misplaced"
Vice President OI<abe and DR.. Katsu-
numa offered a resolution of thanks
for Mr.. and Mrs. Imanishi. who will
leave here shortly in appreciation of
the generous and faithful work done
for the society for long period. The
resolution was unanimously adopted
This was followed by discussion for
securing land for a permanent hospital
site.
The managers report showed that
thirty-one free patients We're received
at the Charity Hospital and eighteen
as out-patients during the past six
months; two were given the passage
to Japan, and the funeral expenses
were paid for six. Two hundred and
thirty-nve pay patients were also re-
ceived at a moderate rate in the hos
pital.

Strong trade winds should bring in
a number of sailing vessels which are
now due at this port and two coal
laden vessels which are making very
long voyages from Newcastle. The
American bark Carrollton is now out
about eighty days from Newcastle, a
long trip The bark Haydn Brown is
out seventy-four days on the same
journey Captain Calhoun of the bark
entine Archer is having poor luck. He
left San Francisco the day before the

arrived yet although the latter has ar
rived, discharged her cargo, loaded
over 1000 bags of sugar, was fumigat-

ALDERMAN MIXED
UP IN ROMANCE

When the schooner ]. H. Lunsmann
returns to Honolulu there will be the
elimination of neat little romance.
Captain Johnson of that vessel met a
young woman while in Hongkong
whose. father is a Singapore shipown-
er. 1t was case of love as soon as
each sighted the other and the skip
per received a letter a few days ago
saying that the bride would come to
Honolulu from Singapore in May and
that the marriage could then take
place here.

NEARLY LOST LIFE
IN THE ALPS

Captain Jones, of the British schoon-
er Geneva now in Honolulu, was a
member of a party that vas nearly
wiped out OF existence in the Alpine
regions a couple of years ago. Jones
lost a brother, who was a professor
in Oxford, in that affair and couple
of others also lost their lives. Captain
Jones only saved his own life through
the fact that the ropes holding the
party broke and the ice picks were
thus able to hold his portion of the
party from sliding over precipice.

Ne v KING
FOR LAYSAN
Ruler Sails for the
Lovely Guano
Island.
Mainly Ills Subjects Are
the Wild Sea
Birds.
But They Are Tame and BidabIe
Because Men Are
Few.

A new king is to rule on lonely Lay
san Island. The schooner j. H. Luns-
mann. which sailed for I4aysan yester-
day morning, carried a Mr. Dibble. who
is to succeed King Max sehIemmer as
ruler of the guano beds. King Dibble
took forty Japanese retainers to the
island with him. Incidentally. the ar
rival of the schooner at Laysan viii
relieve the long winter monotony there.
giving the islanders fresh food and
many little delicacies that they have
been without since the bark Albert left
there about four months ago.
The winter is a long and tiresorne
one at Laysan. For four months the
one white man, his wife. and the lat
ter's sister, who live at the island with
a small colony of Japanese laborers,
see or hear nothing of the outside
world Way out on burning hot is
land of the Pacific, swept at times by
chilling trade winds, given wide
berth by all ships of the sea, these
people spend their winter. Their time
is occupied by scraping guano into
heaps and having it ready to load on
a vessel whenever one arrives from
Honolulu.
The Lunsmann will take about 1900
tons of guano from the island on this
trip and is chartered to make another,
but if the supply of guano continues
good the smart-looking schooner may
make several trips. The Lunsmann is
sister ship of the Otelie Peterson
which was abandoned by her crew be-
cause of losing her rudder near Japan.
Captain Peterson, the runaway ship
owner of San Francisco, was a part
owner of the Lunsman, but other par
ties now hold his interest.
In addition to the Jap laborers, the
Lunsmann carries two mules which are
to be used on Laysan to haul cars about
on a tramway which will carry the
guano from the pits in the center of
the island to scows.
AT this season Of the year the schoon-
er should find good weather at Laysan,
but in case she strikes the opposite
kind of luck her timbers may be warp
ed a bit by the time she again reaches
Honolulu, as wooden vessels seem to |
have poor luck at Laysan.
Captain johnson expects to be able !
to make the round trip in about thirty |
days, as his vessel is a smart sailer.
In addition to the schooner Luns- |
mann, it is said that there is shortly |
to be a steamer in the Laysan Island |
trade, namely the Hanalei, of the Inter
island Company's fleet. and the largest
one of all. The Hanalei has been lying
up in the row, ever since the days of
the last sugar season. until very re-
gently. A short time ago she was
pulled out in the Marine Railway for
an overhauling, and there was lots of
gossip at the time as to what trade
she was going into. Now the water
front gossips with more foundation
than is common in gossip have
It that she will be sent to Laysan
island under charter to bring up a
largo of guano, the demand for ferttl-
ger on the plantations being large and

HOPE FOR

DISTRICTS
Local Option Bill
Makers Want
Action.
License Bill Supporters
Talk of Compromise
Amendment.
The Rev. G. L. Pearson and The
Rev. E. S. Muckley Give Their
Views on Liquor Measures.

The merits and dement's of the two
liquor bills now before the Legislature
the local option measure prepared by
the advocates of temperance, and the
new license measurement discussed
at length yesterday afternoon at the
Y. NJ. c. A, the Rev. George L. Pear
son and the Rev. Z. S. Muckley ex-
planning the measures to the audience.
An open, discussion followed. and the
hope was expressed that a mass meet
ing might be held at an early date at
which an expression of public senti-
ment on the bills could be had for the
guidance of both branches of the Leg
islature 1t was also stated at the
meeting that the Senate committee
having these matters in charge will
give ear to public expressions.
The Rev. Mr.. Pearson said that the
intent of the license bill was to bring
the business of liquor selling more and
more into the hands of Americans,
there being certain restrictions as to
foreigners holding licenses. There was
a restriction against selling liquor to
minors, but none prohibiting minors
from dispensing liquors. He considered
that one of the most dangerous fea-
lures of the measure was the right to
be given to certain places, designated
as places of amusement, bathing re-
sorts and the like, of selling liquor on
Sunday. This, to him, was only
wedge to wide-open Sunday saloons.
There was also clause which he did
not like. This is to give temporary
licenses, for a day or for several days,
which permits of liquors being sold at
the race. track and other places of the
kind. He said, however, that there
was disposition on the part of the
lawmakers TO limit this temporary Ii
cense for use only at the race track,
and not give it to a baseball enclosure,
picnic or other amusement place.
AS to the location of the saloons. he
said it was a matter of fact that the
location of saloons in certain quarters
hurts adjoining property values as well
as trade He was of the opinion that |
there should be the right given prop |
erty owners to say where a saloon |
should not be placed.

LocAL oPTIoN IDEA.

Rev. Mr.. Muckley explained the local
option idea. It involved prohibition in
a small district of a state or Territory.
The present bill ought to be carried
by the Legislature, as it gave equal
privileges to the opposers of liquor
traffic and those who believe in it. The
bill provides that if 80 per cent of the
vAers Of a district shall petition the
Governor for an election to determine
whether the citizens OF that district
desire saloons or not. the Governor
shall call such an election. If the
voters of the district decide by their
votes that they do not want saloons,
the saloon men already operating with
in the district are to have thirty days
in which to close out their business.
There are severe penalties, both by
fines and Imprisonment, for violations
of the law where the VOTERS have sign
fed their desire to have saloonless dis
triets. Mr.. Muckley said that the bill
now before the Legislature was pat

BATES MORE CONFIDENT
For Her Game, Today, With the Eleven
from Colby.

Lewiston, Me-, Oct. 23-(SpeciaD.-
For the last time before the game with
Colby the Bates Varsity ran through
signal practice, today. The work for
the last two days has been very en-
couraging and, although the field was
heavy from the heavy rain. this morn
ing the backs got off well, the ball was
passed accurately and seldom fumbled,
and the team right through seemed in
better condition to play hard football
than at any time this week.
The preliminary practice, this after
noon. consisted in tackling the dummy,
punting, running down the field from
the kick Off and goal kicking.
i The ball was wet, but Johnson's punts
averaged SIS yards. The backs, how
ever, missed several punts and the in
reference, after the kick off, formed
very slowly.
/ Both Rounds and Jackson practiced
quarter, aud as Rounds limped it is ev-
ident he cannot play the entire game.
Coach Richardson will let him start the
game, however. but as Jackson has
been doing brilliant work Rounds will
EIpOdply NC iChiOsSu OSAoAS SAAS S--N- -
the first half.
The coach said, today, that he would
play Kendall, Saturday. with Captain
Reed as the other half back. Kendall
is another man who has very sore an
kle so it is doubtful if he can last
through the entire game. While he is
in the phenomenal hurdling, by which
he gained so much ground for Bates,
last fall, will probably be in evidence.
Briggs will play full back; his substi-
tute is A. Reed.
The line from end to end will not be
as heavy as the line Colby played
against Maine. Bates has three excep-
tionally strong center men, however,
ana probably many of her plays will be
directed at either side of the centers.
Baldwin, the 225-pound guard, has
proved himself able to side track the
whole back field of the second team,
while his heavy running mate, Johnson,
carries 100 pounds of solid football beef.
Cutten, the center. is light for a college
man, but his experience and speed
makes him one of the strongest men in
the line.
Turner and Thurston, who will go in
as tackles, are average players, who
may be relied upon nevertheless, to play
a steady game.
: With Cole back on left end and Con-
nor on the extreme right of the line the
, coach feels confident that end runs and
trick plays will be nipped in the bud
and both Conner and Cole are solid or
offensive plays.
, The two new sections of bleachers or
the south side of the field were complet-
ed, yesterday, and the management has
decided to charge Is cents for seats or
the bleachers. The Bates students viii
