HALF HOUR IN
OAHU PRISON
DESCRIPTION OF SALVATION
ARMY WORK ~ THAT PENAL
INSTITUTION.
SALVATION

A5jutant l.. Allison Coe has the fol-
lowing in the current number of the
Salvation Army War Cry under the
heading Half Hours in oahu"
Not the island OF that name. but the
territorial prison. Methinks l hear
someone advance the query: Can n
pleasant half hour be spent in a penal
institution? | believe l voice the senti-
ments of my fellow officers who have
labored in Honolulu when I say that
one of the best half hours of the week
is that spent behind the walls Of oahu.
The warden, Mr.. William Henry, is
n warm friend of our work, and affords
us every opportunity OF carrying on
our ministrations there. The deputy
warden William Eamana. a Hawaiian,
is also a practical friend.
People are always anxious for results
The half hours spent here have brought
forth many precious souls, and we
have now a corps Of eight well-saved
men in the prison, sworn-in soldiers.
1t is an ideal place for a meeting. The
prisoners are arranged in a hollow
square and seated on benches. The
guards stand around at the back, and
prove attentive listeners; above all are
the branches of a huge tree that cover
nearly the whole Jail yard keeping
off the hot rays of the tropical sun. The
blue uniform of the TRUSTEES" and the
stripes of the other men lend color,
while The Salvation Army officer, with
his prisoner soldiers on one side at the
back, and lads and lassies from the
n1ItciHn oil
touching picture. We wish you could
see these dear men as they arise from
among their fellows and come boldly
out and kneel at an improvised penitent
form. This is sight which has glad
dened our hearts many times. Thank
God!
The War Cry here plays a very i'm
portant part. Two hundred and TWEEN
ty American Crys are distributed, a
number of Japanese Crys, and occa-
sionally few South American Crys;
for in this institution you will find the
same cosmopolitan crowd that goes to
make up the life of these islands.
Mrs Colonel French, on the occasion
of her recent visit to the islands spent
two hours on different Sundays here
and they were very interesting for the
prisoners. 1t is needless for us TO
dwell upon the crimes for which these
men are incarcerated. We bless God
for the opportunity we have of pointing
them to the Lamb!
One of the men converted here, and
who has been a faithful soldier for
over year, is the hospital steward;
another is chef. The warden kindly
permits them to serve dinner to the
officers who come to conduct the meet
ings; this kindness is appreciated. as
it enables the latter to get to their
other meetings early in the afternoon.

THE PICTURESQUE
GILBERTESE
THEIR EMBARKATION TODAY
WILL BE ANALOGOUS IN SOME
RESPECTS TO THE ACADIANS.

With the departure of the Gilbertese
this afternoon one of the most pictures
que elements of the population will
leave. Not alone was the South Sea
island village which used TO be on the
naval station land out beyond the
channel wharf, one of the spots that
with its life attracted tourists and
kodak fiends, the people themselves, so
distinct from all other nationalities of
the mixed population, lived separate
life and were a picturesque element.
With the departure of the Isleworth
practically the whole of the Gilbertese
will leave Hawaii. In some respects
though in all ways happier, the de-
parture of the Gilbert Islanders will
bear an analogy to the departure Of
the Acadians from their Nova Scotia
homes. as described by Longfeilow in
Evangelne. The departure of the Gill
bert Islanders will doubtless attract a
great many people and will present OPP
portunties for securing some very
choice pictures. Rice & Perkins in
tend to take a number of views of the
embarkation, which in time will doubt
less prove a series of historical value.

BUSY
WITH LAND SUITS
LAND CLAIMED BY A RELATION
OF KING LUNALILO-LENGT
CASE RENEWED.

One of the hardest fought land cases
that has ever been tried here was end
ed in the circuit court yesterday by
Judge Robinson's ruling in the case
of Lucy Peabody VS.. the family of C.
H. Judd, an ejectment suit involving
valuable real estate. About forty pat
ents were introduced as evidence in
| the course Of the trial by Frank An
drade, attorney for the plaintiff and the
court and a jury were engaged in the
case for two weeks.
The plaintiff made her claim as a
near relative of Kanaina, who was the
| father of King Lunalilo. The relation
ship was established, but the court
granted McClanahan's motion for a
nonsuit on the ground that il hao
been shown during the trial that there
were other,nearer relatives of the
Kings father, still living, who might
have inherited his entire estate, instead
of the interest of Lucy K. Peabody
claimed in 1165 acres of land known
as the ahupuaa of Hakipuu.i The case
will be taken to the Supreme Court
Another land case, which has had
seventeen days of trial in the circuit
court has been revived by a bill of re-
vivor filed this morning by T L. Dillon
in behalf of Kaniniu whose suit
against Kalai ct al was tried for seven
teen days and then came to a sudden
end because it was discovered that
certain necessary defendants had been
left out. The seventeen days and the
result thereof appeared to have been
too much for Kalai, for she has since
died. The suit is for a valuable Ka-
lihi land and will probably require an
other long trial.
Judge Robinson this morning denied
the defendants motion for a new trial
in the case of the Kapiolani estate VS..
L. A. Thurston.
Judge Gear has signed combinations
of the foreclosure sales in the cases of
w. o. Smith, as trustee for the Luna
lilo estate and as trustee for Antoine
Lidgate, against NJ. G. Silva. In one
case the property brought $3.50, leav-
ing a deficiency judgment of $1,O46.67,
and in the other case the sale brought
$11OO and the remaining judgment is
$3.50 60.

CAMPA|GNERS
IN THE COUNTRY
REPUBLICANS END A LIVELY
DAY WITH A MEETING AT WAL
KANE.

The Republican county campaigners
had a lively and il is believed success
full day yesterday, ending with a meet
ing at L. L. McCandless' place, Wal
kane. This is supposed to be some
thing of Home Rule stronghold, but
there was a large turnout, the audi
ence being composed Of nearly all ma
tives.
The meeting was held on large la
mai and was attended by all the candl-
dates. A quartette furnished music
between the speeches. Shortly before
the meeting there was a tremendous
downpour of rain but the people of the
district seemed to be enough interest
ed in the meeting to brave the bad
weather. They crowded about the la
mai and remained until very late
hour. There were speeches by all the
candidates, in spite of the fact that
they had all made two speeches before
during the day. r. N. Boyd presided
and interpreted for High Sheriff Brown,
who made an effective address on the
subject of the Republican legislative
record in passing a county bill.
When all the speeches were over the
music kept on and there was dancing
for short time. McCandless found
accommodations for his large number
of guests and this morning they con-
tinued their tour to Kahana, making
their way towards Waialua, where
they are to speak this evening.
Mrs. A. NJ. Brown was with the party
early in the day, also Senator Crabbe.

BLOODY CRIME
IS RE-ENACTED
GABRIELLE BOMPARD, BEFORE A
BIOGRAPH, ILLUSTRATES HOW
SHE HELPED STtANGLE GOJFE.

NEW YORK, October A cable to
the World from Paris says: Gabrielle
Bompard, the young murderess, recent
ly pardoned from prison, was the cen
trail figure this week I'm a performance
in which she appeared, under peculiar
circumstances, in the presence of some
of the leading men of France. The per-
Torrance was nothing less than the re-
epacting of the tragedy in which she
assisted Eyraud to strange Gouffe, her
lover, in order TO get the money on his
person. That she might make her part
in the murder strictly true to detail,
she was hypnotized. The re-enactment
of this crime took place in a photog-
rapler's studio.
In the audience. were Ernest Vale,
Frances Minister of Justice; lie Page,
his secretary; Henri LeteHier, pro-
prietor of LIE Journal; Jacques Dhur,
newspaper writer; De Jouvenel, bu-
reau chief in the Ministry of Justice,
and a score of others.
The mesmeric operator, il is claimed,
easily secured control of the complais-
ant murderess, and caused her to COM
init again the crime, and with real
ism that held the little audience breath
less and spellbound.
AS the young woman brought out In
perfect continuity the various acts of
the drama, for which Eyraud died, and
for which she spent many years behind
the bars, the photographer operated the
biograph, recording every action and
preserving the pictures on films for flu
ture exhibition.
Bompard will sail for New York soon
for lecture tour. She will make a cir
cult OF the United States, the crime
being produced with Photographic eff
fects while she sits on the platform.

Colonel Won Siegen, a Dutch artist Of
German extraction, holding an ap-
pointment at the court Of the land
grave Of Hesse-Cassel, was the In
ventor Of mezzotint, that branch Of
engraving which comes nearest to ma
ture, though II Is far from being the
best means OF artistic expressian.
1t dates from about 1911 and Is said
TO have been suggested by the rust on
a weapon which a soldier was clean
Ing. The first fruits Of this newly dis
covered process consisted of a picture
Of the landgrave's mother, the dow
ager landgravine, which Siegen pre-
sented at court, stating that no copper
plate engraver or artist could explain
or imagine how ii was done.
Evelyn, In his Sculpture" 1862, at
tributes the invention to Prince Ru-
pert An original letter Of Siegen's
still In existence proves this to be an
error. for Siegen met Prince Rupert In
Brussels In 1854 and disclosed the proc
ess to him then and there, knowing
that the prince had already practced
etching.
More than a hundred engrayers IN
mezzotint did for the pictures OF Sir
Joshua Reynolds what line engrayers
had done for Raphael.
