For the first time in Its history, the
Old Mems Club OF Lafayette County
met in Corder, Saturday Sept. 26. On
account of Lne rain and unfavorable
morning many doubts we're expressed
but later, however, could be seen carr
Iages of all descriptions from all the sur
rounding country coming from all
directions loaded with we'll filled baskets
and when the eleven O'Clock train came
in there we're no more doubts, for the
Club had come and many of their wives
with them. The reception committee
met hem and escorted them in a body
to the Presbyterian Church and after
brief business session, they repaired.
to the Labor Hall and such a sight as
their eyes beheld TWO immense Ia
bles extending the length of the hal
fairly groaned under their loads. The
dinner was of such magnificence as on.
ly Corder and her people can prepare
meats of all kinds, chicken, salads,
pickles. cakes, and ice cream. Young
and old took hand. Every one seemed
anxious to see that these veterans wei
supplied with every thing at hand.
After dinner they returned TO the
church Tor another session. A select
ed choir rendered some very beautiful
selections and addresses were made by
several of the mem GERS, also 10y Rev.
L. Y. CHM and Rev. Mccain of Odessa.
About nine lew members we're added
from this community. Resolutions
were passed on the deaths of several OF
its members who had passed away
since their last meeting, one OF whom
was Bro. Mcfarland whom we all
knew and loved SO well. Thus ended
one of the most enjoyable days in the
history of Corder. Come, again vel.
come to the vely best our community
affords-it does us all good to spend
such day as this was. Would that
there are more Of them.

WELCOME RULING
FROM THE TREASURY

Under ruling recently made by the
Treasury Department Internal Revenue
offices are allowed to close at o'clock
on Saturday afternoons under certain
circumstances, and the Honolulu Office
will take advantage of the privilege.
The ruling was a welcome one just on
the eve of the baseball season, and it is
thought may be applied in some of the
customs departments. The circular re-
ceived on the subject by Collector
Chamberlain is as follows:
TO Collectors of Internal Revenue:
Your special attention is called to the
following amendment to Treasury deci-
sion 24S7S, which modifes Circular 600,
dated March 1, 1904:
" The Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue: In accordance with the recon-
mendation contained in your letter of
the 25th instant, Treasury decision
24S7S, concerning hours of labor, is, so
far as offices of collectors of internal
revenue are concerned, hereby amended,
so that the hours of labor may conform
to the business custom of the vicinity in
which their offices are located, Observ-
ing, however, the rule of keeping their
offices open for the transaction of bust
ness at least seven and one-half hours
each day, except on such days as by or
der of the Secretary they may be- clos
ed AT ] o'clock to meet local condition
as to places Of deposit.
"'H. A. TAYLOR, Acting Secretary
Collectors who desire to close on
Saturdays at 1 o'clock, because of the
closing of the places designated as tn
place for the deposit of their collections
at that hour or at noon, win be grant
ed permission TO do so upon application
to the Secretary of the Treasury
through This office,
JOHN W, YERKES,
commissioner"

Left Nothing To
Wife And Daughter

The will of the late Constant Sterl-
ing, the well known artist was filed
for probate this morning by Atkinson,
Judd and Mott-Smith, and shows that
he left a wife and daughter in San
Francisco, both of whom are utterly
disinherited in favor of an adopted son,
who is now in st. Louis College, Homo
lulu. Sterling died in Colombo, Ceylon,
on the Sth of last February, while trav-
cling around the world. The attorneys
filed only a copy of the Will, stating
that the original is in Colombo, but
will be produced if desired. A petition
for the appointment of J. II. Craig as
administrator estimates the value Of
the estate at $4,000.

WILL
GIVE NOTICE

Joe Cohen had conference with Gov
ernor Carter this morning on the sub
ject of taking the band for a trip to the
Mainland, including the exposition.
Cohens proposition is six months
trip, and he wanted leave of absence
for members of the band, without sal
airy.
Nothing was settled in the conference
this morning. Cohen will cable to NJ. B.
Curtis at San Francisco as soon as a
decision is reached. He says he does
not want money from the Territory and
is willing to guarantee that the band
will not get lost by the wayside or have
to swim back.
The Governor found numerous mat
ters waiting for his attention on re-
turning. There was an accumulation of
correspondence and many visitors call
ed at the executive chambers, among
them being Mrs. Nakuina and District
Attorney Breckons.
The Governor is considering the APP
pontment of the county commission, as
provided for by the special session, and
the matter of putting departmental

cuts into effect at once. Under a joint
resolution the Governor may carry out
at once the changes provided for in the
bills which go into effect July 1. 1t is
understood that some of the cuts will
be made before that date, though the
Governor is in favor of giving due no
tice.
Il believe in giving employees who
are to be dropped thirty days notice
he said, and shall not do anything in
haste as far as cutting down expenses
are concerned"
Another matter to be settled upon is
the plans of the delegates to the Chi
cago convention, members of the dele
cation having been awaiting Carriers
return to meet and discuss arrange
ments. District Attorney Breckons'
plans to go on the Alameda, May %,
and will therefore leave ahead of the
rest of the delegation if the others de-
eide to go on the Ventura, May 81. A
meeting of those who are going will be
had with the Governor in a few days, to
consider arrangements, also the matter
of badges banners, etc.

CAP TURED A SHARK ON
NIU CORAL REEF

A five and a half foot shark was cap
tured yesterday inside the reef off East
Niu ranch, affording a great deal Of
sport for those who took part in the
capture.
The water at this point is very shall
low for nearly a mile and a half out
from the shore. At low tide it is d
coral fiat covered with mud. At high
tide there is from eighteen inches to
two feet of water on it.
, For several days past the surf mas
been very high. Yesterday afternoon it
seemed higher than ever, rolling up
over the coral reef in great breakers
During the afternoon Emil A. Berndt
who, with a party of friends was spend
ing the day there, saw a splashing
about fifty yards from the shore. Pre-
sently it became clear that it was a
shark that had in some way worked it's
way for more than mile over the reef.
The party had been out shooting and
had their rifles with them. They fired
a number of shots at the creature, rid
ding it with bullets, as was afterward
shown, but apparently without effect.
Then the party went out and made a
rope fast to the sharks tail. The great
strength of the sea monster enabled it
to haul the party around for quite a
time, but finally it was brought to shore
and killed. 1t was found to measure
five and a half feet in length.

A NARROW ESCAPE

HILO, April 22.-The men working for
Mr. Lance, the water-finding expert,
near the Honokaa plantation met with
a dangerous experience this week while
tunnellng. The tunnel in which. they
We're working opens from the lower
part of a gulch into the earth and a
tremendous downpour Of rain flooded
the gulch and the lower part Of the
tunnel, effectually cutting off the la
borers from daylight and air as well
as subjecting them to danger from
drowning if the stream should rise
higher. Fortunately however the flood
proved brief, though violent, and after
a few hours of anxiety the water sub
sided and the men We're released.-Ha-
