hu Young Peoples Union of Christian
Endeavor viii hold it's monthly con-
ference next Monday evening, January
IA, in the parlor of the 7. NJ c. A.
The few societies that have not yet
sent in their December report are re-
quested to do so at once.
AS many important matters will come
before the conference for considera-
ton, it is extremely necessary that ev-
cry society should send at least one
delegate to the convention. Secretary
Wong Hin will be at the conference
early to receive reports from those So
c1ety officers who have not yet sent
him their December reports.
The attendance at last years con-
ferences was very good, and the officers
of the union expect this year to be
likewise. They bespeak the coopera-
ton of all endeavorers.

THE OLD STORY Of
DEFAMATION EXPOSED

| Honolulu, T. Fl.
Editor Advertiser: Through the col
umns of your valuable paper, if you
would kindly grant us the space, we
desire to contradict a statement which
appeared in the Evening Bulletin, of
January 3, 1907.
The statement referred to appears
under the heading, Iaukea Given Free
Hand by Democrats.
The portion of the article to which
we strongly object, is that which states
that Mr.. L. B. Reeves had applied for
membership in the local Harbor Of
Masters and Pilots and that he was
refused admittance and that possibly
his strike-breaking record was what
stopped him.
Mr.. Reeves has never applied for
membership in our Harbor, nor would
his strike breaking record, if he has
one, stop him.
We realize that this article has Great
ed a wrong impression of our Associa-
ton, placing it on a par with labor
organizations.
We are Licensed Masters, Mates and
Pilots of vessels of the United States
and are organized for the better regu-
lation of matters pertaining to our
craft, the promotion of the social well
fare of the members of our profession,
the elevation of our standing as such
and we aim to be respectable body
of men, studying the interests of our
employers as well as those of our own.
We earnestly hope you may be able
to allow US space, in which to correct
wrong impressions which have been
formed of our Association, through the
appearance of those erroneous state
ments.
Thanking you in advance for what
we will consider a valuable favor, we
remain,
Yours truly,
HONOLULU HARBOR NO. "a

The Friend: A letter to Miss Cham

while the Americans set apart spe-

people have a day TO especially ask Tor

at the supper table last night that no
pianos could be opened today, no loud
talking or laughing in the halls. and

YELLOW FEVER
MOSQUITO PEST

Honolulu, January 10, 1906.
Editor Advertiser: Scientists tell us
that the day-mosquito which makes
our homes so lively since the late
rains, is the yellow-fever mosquito and
that it has been innocuous here be-
Very soon We are to have communi-
cation with Tehuantepec through the
freight steamers. Tehuantepec does
have yellow fever and the possibility of
bringing this dread disease into Homo
lulu and other ports, is something to
be considered
We have had two costly trials of
quarantine within the last decade. Is
it not worth while to spend moder-
ate sum now in prevention rather than
to wait till we feel the awful neces-
costly both in lives and treasure?
Perhaps it is not possible to do much
until this storm is over, but I would
like to suggest that householders and
tenants be urged, and even required,
to see that pools of standing water be
drained where such drainage is posi-
BILE, and that rubbish holes and other
breeding places be attended to at once.
Is it within the power Of the County
Supervisors to empower the Board Of
Health to enforce such a cleaning up?
Or is it necessary for the legislature
to act in the matter?
Respectfully,

DR.. A. S. Dabney after 20 years
active practice of dentistry in Padu-
cab has closed his Office here on ac-
count of his health and will go to
Carlisle county to remain until next

residence in the country as necessary
to continued health and he will spend
the summer and fall months in Ar

here DR.. Dabney has built up large
list of friends who will regret to see
him leave. He has been identified
with the First Christian church
prominently and is otherwise well
known. His plans for the future
are not laid yet, but he will see what
effect several months in the country
will have. His family will continue
to make Paducah their home and DR..

TOBACCO SALE Is
RECORD BREAKER
Over Two Thousand Hogs
heads Sold by Association
in City This Year Against
Forty Last Year
NO LIKELIHOOD OF STOPPING.

A. n. Veal, local salesman for the
Dark Tobacco Growers association,
said this morning that 900 hogs
heads of tobacco had been sold by
the association so far this year, as
compared with the first five months
of last year when only 40 hogsheais
had been sold. And the improved
conditions are further illustrated by
the fact that the 1000 hogsheads
sold this year, have been sold at an
advance of so over the prices of last
year. 1t is reported that the associa-
ton may stop its sales now, but this
report is not credited by the local Of
ficials. Increased demand. poor pros
poets for n Observation-Disclosures
poets for next years crops, and an
actual scarcity this year, are given as
the reasons for the high tobacco mar
ket.

Next Fall Some Fast Events On Fair
Ground Track and in Tan

DIRECTORS SOLVE PROBLEM

Directors of the Horse Show associ-
alton, at the meeting held yesterday
AFTERNOON, decided to merge that or
ganization with the Paducah Matinee
club, and to hold a four days meet
the second week in September. A
|splendiG series of races will be ar
ranged for every afternoon. and the
horse show features for the night.
The races will be held at the fair
grounds and the program will be
made up of harness and running
events. The horse show features will
be held at league park, as heretofore.
and the purses will be as liberal as
they were last year.
1--WE feel that we have the solution
to the horse show problem" said one
of the directors today. "By merging
the organization with the Matinee
club we shall have an effective, en-
ergetic organization to promote our
matinee events, an annual falr and
races, with the horse show features.
Eve propose to make the event
this fall a great success. We shall
"hang up" liberal purses for the race
events, and equally as liberal for the
horse show. We believe the plans will
meet with popular approval in Padu-
cab and western Kentucky, and that
these meets will be looked forward
to each year with growing interest.
eve shall endeavor to bring four
thousand out of town visitors here
for the races, and think the greater
proportion of them will stay for the
horse show. We shall seek to have
entries from all the towns in western
Kentucky, Tennessee aud southern
Illinois so that each locality will be
equally interested.
"Of course, we shall need assist
ance from the general public to make
this event a success, and in a few
days shall put the matter up TO the
merchants and business men of Padu-
cah."
