The above is the resulteof fast. nights
5oint convention of the Fourth and
Fifth districts, Oahu; and is the ticket
which the Republican party will ratify
next Saturday evening at the Orpheum
theater. s
The Senatorial ticket is the result of
sharp contest. Four candidates were
nominated. M. Dowsett, Johnson c.
Lane, E. Faxon Bishop and Cecil
Brown. The convention was enthusias-
tic in the naming of the candidates and
the speeches were full of ginger. The
balIoting left Cecil Brown far down the
list and Bishop, Lane and Dowsett were
declared elected. Lane led the entire
ticket
In the separate conventions held by
the Fourth and Fifth districts, large
number of candidates were proposed but
there were many Waterloos. The Fifth
was supposedly agreed upon its candi-
dates, but despite this the balloting
left few who were believed to haye
the votes in their vest pockets, far in
the rear.
In the Fourth probably three of those
who won out were district preferences
Others were elected by sheer weight OF
the desire for precinct representation.
The Fifth district has an entire Ha-
waiian or part Hawaiian representative
ticket. The Fourth is divided, its repre-
sentation being considered under the
following heads: Quinn, laboring ele-
ment; Lilikalani for Kakaako element;
Frank Andrade, Portuguese colony;

HANDLING THE LOADED GUN.

From the American Field.
Persons when hunting in company

caution to prevent accidents. In climb

it occurs that the rapping of the gum

gun off, and if a companion is within
line with the gums muzzle serious con-
sequences are sure to follow. We fire.
quently hear of such accidents, and
it is too late to remedy matters after
the mischief has been done, therefore
we say to our great army of readers:
never climb over or crawl through a
fence-rail, board, or wre-without first
seeing that your gun is in such shape
that rap or fall will not cause it
to be discharged.
1t is also well when hunting with one
or more people to know where ones
companions are all of the time and
to refuse to shoot at bird going in
their direction unless the bird is high
enough so that that the charge will
go over your companions head. 1t
is far better to lose a dozen good shots
during a day than to take one and
at the same time injure a friend, for
more birds can be found, while a SER
ious injury to a companion, In many
instances, can never be repaired. The
writer has observed the above rules for
twenty-five years and has never had
an accidental discharge of his gun or
in the slightest manner ''peppered"
a hunting companion, and others can
do as well if they will use necessary
precautiOn.

William S. skolheld of Lewiston
pulled out a faded old photograph
from his pocket. says the Lewiston
(Me.) journal. s
There" said he. is the picture Of
the two most remarkable twins that 1
ever knew-the late Col. Alfred n.
Proctor and the late Capt. Albert E.
Proctor. Their features, dress and
manner of speech were precisely the
same.
I used to know them well when
they lived in East Boston. / remem-
Der once met them on the boat from
Boston to New York. They were go
ing over to New York with the Ancient
and Honorable Artillery Of Boston, for
they were both distinguished veterans
or the Civil War. | had a gentleman
friend with me, and just as 1 was
about to go aboard the boat l met, as
I supposed Col. AL.
Colonel said I. let me introduce
my friend, Mr.. So-and-so.'
Col. ALP said he. Why, you must
be mistaken: this is Albert!
About an hour later, as we were well
out of the harbor. was promenading
the deck with my friend. and 1 met,
as l supposed, Col. Al. again. This
time I was sure of 1t, and I stepped
up to him with most confident air.
Col. Al'-said /.
Now. look here said he, you just
introduced me to this gentleman. Col.
AL is down in the cabin'
After that" continued Mr.. Sheffield,
as he slowly put the picture away in
an inside pocket, I never pretended
to distinguish the two men. The only
possible way that could do 1t was to
see them together, and even then it
was very difficult. They prided them
selves on their wonderful resem blance,
and they dressed and talked and acted
as near alike as possible.
Years ago we used to have a social
organization in East Boston. and we
used to hold assemblies every winter
in Maverick Hall, of the old Maverick
House. 1t was a regular thing for Col.
Alfred and Capt. Albert to exchange
partners without anybody knowing It,
believe you are engaged to me
for this dance Col. Al would say, 60
ing up to a lady and making pro-
found bow.
and after a swing around the hail. up
would come Capt. Albert looking for
his partner, and so they had it back
and forth.
Il remember one night at II, just as
the last dance was on, Capt. Albert
came up to me and, with a twinkle in
his eye, said:
Now, see me. fool Hattie!
Now, Hattie was Col. Alfred's wife,
and as he went UP to her he most po-
litely held out his arm and said
Well, Hattie, don't you think it
is about time for us to be going
home?'
We'll, sir, she got up and took his
arm without the slightest hesitation
and walked to the dressing room. 1t
was not until they had actually start
ed for home that Capt. Albert explain
ed, and she was as surprised as any
member of the party"

The Savannah morning news., 1904-11-26

The President has completed his
message, and it is understood he
doesn't discuss the question of revis-
ing the tariff. 1t is said it is his pur-
pose to discuss that subject in a special
message. That he favors revision
seems to be assumed. The fact that
there is a good deal of heated discus
sion of the question of tariff going on
within the Republican ranks is a sat
isfactory indication that the Presi-
dents mind is turned in the direction
Of reducing at least some of the tariff
schedules. He seems to be of the opin-
ion that the tariff declaration of the
Republican platform does mean some
thing. In fact, he has said all along
that If the tariff needs changing it
ought to. be changed by its friends. As
the Republicans claim to be its
friends, and they now have an ample
majority to do as they please. it
wouldn't be at all surprising it, in a
special message, he should favor a
pretty substantial reduction.
Immediately after the election, in
discussing the question of tariff revi-
sion. it was noticed that he gave the
most attention to what was said by
those leaders of his party who are
known to favor tariff reductions, and
it is being pointed out that there is
considerable anxiety among the
great Industrial trusts, those which
are the chief beneficiaries of the tar
iff, as to what the President is likely
to say in regard to the tariff if he
should send special message to Con-
gress on the subject.
1t is believed that the increasing ex-
penditures of the government will
make it absolutely necessary to lower
the tariff in some important particu-
lars so as to increase importations,
and thus increase the revenue. The
estimates for the navy alone for the
coming year call for $114,OO0,0OO.
The idea is being thrown out by
those who are opposed to revision
that the thing to do to increase the
revenues is to put tax on tea and
coffee. 1t is doubtful, however, if a
tariff tax of that kind would be pop
ular even with the Republicans.
1t is evident that the Republican
leaders see that some of the tariff
schedules will have to be reduced in
order to satisfy the revisionists in
their own ranks. The "stand-patters"

the revisionists. If they refuse there
will, in all probability, be trouble in
the ranks of the party.

rwo STRANGE CASES.

In the great cities there are frequent
happenings that are out of the usual,
and some of them are so strange as
to arouse general interests and excite
great deal of comment.
One case of. this kind occurred in st.
Louis this week, phases of which are
appearing in our dispatches every day.
Stephen Putney, Jr., of Richmond Va,
accompanied his mother and sister to
the st. Louis fair. Young Putney is
the son of prominent man. reputed
to be a millionaire. He remained at
the hotel one evening while his mother
and sister went to the exposition.
When they returned he was nowhere
to be found. Thinking he had gone out
somewhere for a while they were not
alarmed, but when towards midnight
he didn't make his appearance they or
dered a search for him. He has not
been found yet. though it is said a
trace of him has been discovered in
Kansas City, from which place an am
nonymous letter has been received say
ing that his whereabouts will be dis
closed on receipt of a certain sum of
money. 1t may be that the writer of
the letter knows nothing about the
boy, but hopes to get money from the
anxious parents by pretending to know
where he is. His disappearance was, of
course, mentioned in the newspapers,
and INSCRIPTIONS persons could easily
pretend to be able to produce him.
The other case is that Of Charles d.
Reohr, the secretary of the Traders
Union Life Insurance Company of New
York. A day or two ago Mr.. Reohr
was arrested on street car by well
known detective, who charged him with
having stolen a scarfpin from a. passen-
ger on another street car. The detec-
tive handcuffed him and dragged him
TO a police station, where he was a
prisoner during one whole night. The
detective said that he was standing on
the side of the street and saw MIR.
Reohr, while standing on the platform
of the car commit the theft.
At the hearing before the magistrate
no one appeared claiming TO have lost
a scarfpin. and Mr.. Reohr showed by
his sister that he had boarded the car
on which he was arrested only a few
moments before the arrest was made,
and that he went directly to the car
from an elevated railway station.
where he had been to put her
on an elevated train. Before going
TO the elevated station he and his sis
ter were in a fur store, where they
went to make a purchase. On his own
behalf Mr.. Reohr said he had not been
on the car on which the alleged theft
was committed.
Naturally he is very much aggrieved
and has announced his purpose to have
the detective prosecuted for perjury
and 20 sue the city for damages. In
his opinion there never was a rob-
berry on the car in question and that
the detective was drunk. The police
authorities, however say the detective
wasn't drunk, but they cannot explain
his strange action II no robbery was
committed. II seems impossible that a
man Of Mr.. Reohr's standing could
have committed the theft. and IL ap-
pears hard to believe that the deteo.
tive could have arrested an entire
stranger without a very good reason
II is one OF those strange cases fol
which there doesn't seem to be ans
explanation.
