New Mexico, November Is,
while on her way to Arizona in
the hope that in that climate she
might win the fight against con
sumption from which she had
been a sufferer for some time.
During the past summer she
lived in the open air at the
Chautauqua park and hoped by
this means to recover her fading
health. But all was in vain,
although loving hands gave her
every care. She stood the jour

of the large tunnels where she
nearly suffocated, and her atten.

her to rally. The battle was too
much however, and death claim

Mr.. and Mrs. r. w. Nickle, and
during all her life as, girl, wife
and mother she was truly one of
the noblest of woernen. Her
heart was full of love for those

with one child survives to mourn
the loss Of a pure, loving and
noble wife and devoted, gentle

bright springtime of life, being
twenty-four years and five month
of age. The funeral was held
at the Methodist church in this

sToRK BUSY IN THE SOUTH
Largest Number of Births Ever Re
corded in One Day Follows Trip
of President Roosevelt.

New Orleans-President Roosevelt
came, saw and conquered New Orleans
in way not hitherto made public.
The president is an avowed enemy of
race suicide and an advocate of large
families. The more children a father.
has the easier it is for him to obtain
presidential portrait and presiden-
tan autograph. The same is true of
mothers. Women are as ambitious to
get presidential recognition as men,
as the moral of this story shows.
How many demands will be made on
the president for photographs, auto
graphs, etc, as result of his visit
to New Orleans only time will tell, but
it is a fact that following president
Roosevelt's visit the stor1 has been
more busy here than ever before in the
history of New Orleans: This means
a great increase in the number of
happy fathers and mothers, and it has
resulted in general rejoicing.
A recent days record of births was
the largest ever recorded in this city.

about 20 the year round, but SO chill

Secretary Lydecker Of the Board of

Robertson who was chamberlain to
Queen Liliuokalani a lot of correspond
ence addressed to the Hawaiian gov
eminent from foreign governments in
all parts of the world, which will form
a valuable and interesting addition to

from rulers of all sorts and is mostly in
the form of condolences over the death
of King Kalakaua. The collection in
cludes letters of which the signatures
are valuable autographs.
The correspondence is much appre-

DISTRICT COURT
IS REVERSED
THE SUPREME COURT ORDERS
AMENDMENT ALLOWED IN SUIT
ON A NOTE.

The Supreme Court this morning
gave a decision reversing the Honolulu
District Court in the case of Lau Bow
VS.. Fred M. Kiley and j. B. German.
The suit is on a note, and plaintiff was
nonsuited because it appeared that the
note was not stamped. The District
Court refused to allow the plaintiff to
amend by showing that the note had
been given for goods sold and deliver
ed, and this is held to have been an
abuse of discretion. The opinion of the
court, by Justice Wilder, says:
Although negligence and laxity in
pleadings should not be encouraged,
yet amendments should be literally al
lowed, particularly in the District
Court, to conform the peadings to the
facts proved.
"The appeal is sustained, the judg-
ment set aside, and the case remand
ed to the District Court of Honolulu
for further proceedings consistent with
this opinion"
A. S. Humphreys appeared for plain
tin, and there was no appearance for
defendants.

THE SUPERVISOR AND THE Gov
ERNOR VISIT THE INTERPRETED
WITH OUTLET.

Supervisor Jack Lucas and Governor
Carter started this afternoon on a tour
of investigation of the outlet of the
flood water drainage system.
The work of dredging the harbor,
which has been going on for some time
has resulted in filling in the marine
park site makai of the Honolulu Iron
works. Up to the present the outlet
of a part, at least, of the food water
drainage system has been into the sea
at this point just makai of Ala Moana.
But all this area having been filed in
by the dredging operations, the out
let of this part of the flood water drain
age system has been stopped up, throw
ing the system out of gear further
mauka.
Several petitions have been sent to
the Board of Supervisors in regard to
the matter superintendent Lucas
wants the Federal government to carry
the flood water drainage system
through the marine park site to where
it will empty into the ocean beyond.
He wants Governor Carriers assistance
in securing this. In order that the
Governor might know the situation in
diligently, Lucas took him this after
noon to visit the scene of the trouble.
This obstruction to the flood water
drainage system does not affect the
sewer outfall or the sewer system at
all,
