THE LIGHTS OF GOTHAM.
The Last Opportunity-The Opera
Season Closes Next Week-A
Strong Repertoire CO.

The De Pew-Burdette Company
will hold the boards at the ppera
house next Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings. 1t is a strong
company. The following is from the
Rome Georgia paper:
One of the strongest repertoire
companies that has ever appeared in
Rome is the De Pew-Burdette stock
company. who opened a weeks en-
gagement on Monday night.
Last night they presented The
Lamp OF Life" which proved to be
a great play. 1t was one OF the finest.
most artistic and finished productions
given here in some time, and certain
ly by any popular priced company.
Such were the expressions OF those
comprising the large audience that
greeted the company, and that they
thoroughly appreciated the excellent
work of every member Of the cast
was evidenced by the hearty applause
received bv each. The character Of
Lawrence Emmett Mccarthy was
presented by Will T. Burdette. cap
able and finished actor. His work is
not only artistic but SO real and natu-
raj that one is carried back to the
scenes, as the author actually plctur-
ed them in his story. Thos. +. De
Pew played the part OF James That
cher, the town constable, and made a
great hit with the audience. 1t was
about as clever a piece Of acting as
we have seen in some time. The
support throughout was strong and
each member of the cast is entitled
to praise for their work. The play
was finely staged, neatly and prettily
costumed and there was not single
detail lacking.
Messrs. De Pew and Burdette have
reason to be proud over their clever
company. Many times have our
theatre-goers paid IS cents and one
dollar for attractions which were not
equal in many respects to that OF
last night. and for which only popular
prices were charged.

The Fluttering of the Hit Bird.

In the editorial conduct OF Our
esteemed and valued contemporary
the Williamson News there has re-
Gently been change announced, or
rather, recruit added in the person
of !. B. O'Neall Holloway.
This recruit takes the Journalistic
bull by the horns, and closing a
column announcement delivers HIM
self thusly:

There is an axiom that the aver
age citizen prides himself upon his

supposed that Williamson is much

May S, 1864-May S, 1905.

Forty-one years ago today, May 5,
1864 the armies of Lee and Grant be-
gan the fight that continued nearly
every day until the surrender of Gen.
Lees army in April, 1866. On the
night of May 5, 1864, both sides rest
ed on the battle field, on the morning
of May 9th, Gen. Grant began the at
tack early, before sun up. Gen.
Lees forces were being pressed
back, but old Pap Longstreet had been
on the march since I o'clock that
morning and as the sun was rising
was hurrying down the plank road,
the Third South Carolina in front.
The Third was thrown across the
plank road, but before she could ad-
just her line, Hancock'c troops
were on them and were beating them
back. Hancock'c lines were eight
deep, but the Third held until Hum
phries' Mississippi Brigade was
formed. Then forward was the
word. Fancock's men found Pap
Longstreet was present and his boys
were hungry. 1 heard Federal say,
"Drop your haversacks boys, Long
stret's boys must have something to
eat and they will not stop pressing
you until they get something to eat"
Here that grand man, Col. James D.
- was killed, and the Third
8 -. :: severely indeed, but she had
he;2e:: check the advance. Near here
the gallant Gen. Jenkins was killed,
CO. Longstreete shot and Brig. Gen.

DOG AND PONY SHOW.
Well Known Attraction Here This
Week.

Are you going to the dog and po-
nv show Saturday." is the question
being asked each other by almost ev-
erv youngster in town. And invari-
ably the reply is in the affirmative,
TOO. No matter what class of amuse-
ment comes along during the winter,
comedy. tragedy, vaudeville Or min
strel show, it's all the same to the
little folks. The dog and pony show
is an institution belonging by right
to them, and when the pretty pictures
announcing the four-footed fun max
ers adorn the dead walls and bill
boards of the city, gives a shout OF
hooray, and begins to figure on ''rais-
ing the price OF admission. The e.
vent approaches and the date IS al
most here. Seibel Bros. Dog and Po-
nv Shows are already billed for per-
formances in this city. This excel
lent exhibition has established a
splendid reputation during its three
wears of existence and while the
name is new one to this section OF
the country the show is guaranteed
to be one of the best. if not the best
of its kind on the road. The ami
NAL actors number $50 and they trav-
ell in special Pullman palace cars.
There are Is ponies, 50 dogs and rs
monkeys or board. AS the ring per-
fornance is under the directorshlp OF
D. G. Markell, who is recognized as
Americas foremost animal educator,
it could not help being first-class. A
feature of the performance is child
ren's riding academy, to which every
voungster attending the matinee per-
formance is invited to enjoy. The
ponies are bridled and saddled and
are in charge of competent attend

Death of MIR. Henry P. Wedaman.

Quite a number Of people were
made sad on the morning Of the o4th,
OF April over the death of Mr.. Henry
P. .Wedaman.
Last October he developed a case
of typhoid fever, which lasted sew
eral weeks. When it was apparent
that recovery was setting in this to
the JOY of his family and many
friends, other serious symptoms
were observed. After getting better
OF this trouble the grippe seized him.,
from which he did not recover.
On Sunday Mr.. and Mrs. Dave
Livingston, his son-in-law and daugh-
ter, came down, and they with 9TH
er members of the family spent a
delightful day. The day previous,
Mr.. Wedaman feeling better than he
had felt in long time decided to go
fishing. After eating supper Sunday
NIGHT he told his wife that he thought
he would retire. About eleven o'clock
he awoke quite sick and grew worse
until the end came at about four
rl:cck Monday mol":t.c
In ali he was sick six months.
Mr.. Wedaman was an honest and
conscientious man. He was devoted
to his family and faithful to his
church. He was born July 80, 1S4o,
and was married to Miss Mary Eliza
beth Ringer, November 10, 1874. 10
this good man the Lord gave eight
children, all of whom survive him.
He leayes a wife, eight children, two
grand children. two sisters and host
OF friends to mourn his departure.
The writer keenly feels the death
of this man for by this death he
has lost one of his best friends.
But the end came, and his soul re-
turned to the God who gave it.
On Tuesday morning, his body
was laid to rest in the Bethlehem
cemetery, in the presence of a large
! congregation, to await the morning
of the resurrection. The burial ser
| vice was conducted by his pastor.
| Nav the dear Lord comfort and
bless the sad and bereaved family,
and some day reunite them in His
Heavenly Kingdom.

words. 1t is well known that very
large percentage of laborers in the
Territory are either japanese or Chi
nese. Under the laws OF the United
States neither Chinese nor Japanese
can become naturalIzed; they are not
eligible TO American citizenship. The
act, therefore, might just as well have
said that everybody but Japanese and
Chinese might be employed ON public
works, irrespectively of their citizen
ship. Should the law be held valid,
practically tie only persons who could
be prohibited by its provisions from be-
ing employed on public works would
be Chinese and Japanese.
l am not prepared to say what my
opinion would be as to the validity
of law preventing all aliens from
engaging i'll public work. The question
does not appear to have been fatty
decided by .any court, although in one
very recent case the Supreme Court
of the United States, while refusing
to pass on the question, minated that
it was most serious one.
Aside from the constitutional ques-
ton, there is in my Judgment another
reason why the Act should be declared
void.
BY treaty between the United
States and Japan, ratified in 1895, it
was provided as follows:
''The citizens and subjects of each
of the high contracting parties shall
have full liberty to enter, travel or
reside in any part of the territories of
the other contracting party, and shall
enjoy full and perfect protection for
their persons and property.
In whatever relates to the rights
of residence and travel; to the posses
sion of goods and effects of any kind;
to the succession to personal estate by
will or otherwise, and the disposal of
property of any sort, and in any man
ner whatsoever, which they may law
fully acquire, the citizens or subjects
of each contracting party shall enjoy
in the territories of the other the same
privileges, liberties and rights, ana
shall be subject to no higher imposts,
or charges in these respects than native
citizens or subjects, or citizens or sub
jects of the most favored nation.
"They will not be compelled under
any pretext whatsoever to pay any
charges or taxes other or higher than
those that are, or may be paid by ma
tive citizens or subjects, or citizens or
subjects Of the most Favored nation. -
The provisions quoted, and others in
the treaty, are in my judgment oppos-
ed TO the provisions Of the territorial
law.
The law of the territory in question,

EXPERTS ARE PLEASED
WITH HAMAKUA TOBACCO

HILO, August 4.-The Tribune prints
this story: The Hawaiian Experiment.
al Station on the Louisson plantation
In Hamakua is producing some Won
derful results in the growth OF tobac-
co. In "A conversation with MI G. X.
Blacow, who is in charge OF the to-
bacco culture, Tribune representative
learned that he now has three acres of
land under cultivation, and that he is
growing from six to eight varieties OF
tobacco on the place. Among those
grown are some from Havana seed
ling Connecticut seeding. Comstock
Spanish. DINNER Spanish, Sumatra.
Japan, Hawaiian and Vuelta Abaio
Havana seed. Some of these varieties
grow to the height of six to ten feet
with stalks two inches in diameter.
The leaves of the coarser quality meas
ure from thirty-six TO forty inches in
length and from twelve to fifteen
inches in width. while the Vuelta Aba
10 being of a finer quality measures
from twelve to twenty-five inches in
length and from eight TO fourteen
inches in width. On account of the
larger leaves of the coarser quality an
acre of land will produce about from
1900 to 1000 pounds per acre, while the
vuelta Abajo will produce only about
1000 pounds to the acre. 1t takes about
one mans attention for every acre
during the maturing of the crop. In
Hawaii we can obtain two crops in
one year. At the experimental station
they are planting and taking off crops
every month in the year. After the
crop is off it has to be cured for about
eight months. Mr.. Walter S. Mclean.
manager of the tobacco department of
the Hilo Mercantile Co, obtained
about three pounds of the cured
tobacco grown on the island and
forwarded the same to the manufac-
turers of the famous Ell Pelancia. Clear
Havana and the Ell Merito cigars. He
has received a box of these Hawaiian
cigars. which he declares to be excel.
lent in their aroma and the fineness of
their smoke. He also received the fol-
lowing letter from the manufacturer,
which indicates the quality of tobacco
grown in Hawaiian soil:
Philadelphia, July 6, 1905
Mr.. w. s. Mclean, Hilo, H. l.
Dear Sir: We mail you today under
separate cover, a twenty-five box of
cigars made of your tobacco. The
writer Mr.. b., is smoking one while
