Under the Auspices Of the Com.
mercial Club a Meeting
was Held at the Court
House Monday Night.
CROWDED HOUSE
LISTENED TO SPEECH

According to announcement, the
Commercial Club held a public re-
ception at the court house Monday
evening to honor the homecoming
of Hon. N. V. Gallegos and Hon.
District Attorney M. c. Mechem.
Col. T. w. Heman, the president
OF the Club, called the meeting to
order and spoke as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
have come here tonight under
the auspices of the Chamber of
Commerce for the purpose of do
ing honor to two Of our worthy
citizens who are responsible for
having passed House Bill No. 81
in the late Territorial Assembly. OF
course you all know that Mr.. Gal
legos is a member of our legisla-
ture and was requested by our
people to endeavor to have a por-
ton of Union County added to
Quay County and the work
has been phenominal. Namely,
has added to our county $4,000
acres of land. including two
very promising towns, Logan
and Nara Visa, also about "a
miles OF railroad. You will admit
this is a very important matter,
because this railway has been ex-
empted for six years from tax
alton. This "a miles of railway
in Union County is next year tax
able and is this year turned over
to US, and therefore Quay
County's taxable property.
This is a very important matter
to the citizens, because it will re-
duce the taxation of the property
in Quay County, and | wish to
state that in this connection Mr..
Mechem. our District attorney,
has untiringly given his time and
assistance whenever possible.
House Bill No. 81 was the only
bill that passed the Legislature in
any way affecting counties or coun'
ty lines. And it is customary
where a public servant has done
well for his people that he should

President of the Commercial Club,
and as citizen of Quay County,
and in behalf of the people OF Quay
County, we thank these two gen.
tlemen from the bottom OF our
hearts and say: well done thou
good and faithful servants etc.
We will now call upon Mr.. Gal

OKOLEHAO
IN SIGHT
GOOD NEWS FOR PEOPLE WHO
LIKE THAT KIND OF STRONG
BOOZE-DOMESTIC INDUSTRY.

Acting Collector of Internal Revenue
Drake today received a report from
Deputy nalph Johnston who is now i'm
Kona superintendenting the installa-
ton of the new okolehao distillery near
Napoopoo. Up to the time that the
deputy wrote, the work at the dis
tillery had been experimental 1t was
expected that the first run-off would
occur on June 3, yesterday. While the
run-off will occur on that date, it does
not follow, in consequence, that the
officially distilled okolehao will be on
the market within a short time. 1t
is by no means certain that the mash
may prove of a satisfactory KIND, and
further experiments may be required.
1t is almost invariably the case with
the installation of new plants of this
character, that considerable delay re-
suits in starting the institution.
Johnston will have to remain a week
to ten days longer in Kona to attend
to the work of operating the distillery.
1t is thought that the distillery may
be in operation by the middle of this
month. The okolehao is being distill-
ed from the root of the ii plant and
will therefore, be of the purest kind
that is known.

TAKES PEN
IN HAND
WISE STANDS PAT AND STATES
THAT HE Is NOT REQUIRED no
SUPPLY INFORMATION.

John H. Wise clerk of the House
of Representatives has addressed a
letter to Secretary Atkinson, in reply
to the latter's letter relative to the
House journal. Atkinson asked that
Wise enumerate the errors that were
said to be in the original copy of the
House journal, prepared by Charles R.
Buckland and also to furnish the Sc
cretary with three copies of the House
journal for transmission to the Presi-
dent, the President of the Senate and
the Speaker of the House.
In reply, Wise says that lie has not
the time in which to enumerate the
corrections, taking the position that
he is not required to supply any such
information. The House made him no
allowance in the way of salary, to cor
rect or indicate any errors or omissions
in the journal and he declines to do
so. The matter is still in the air
Wise says that the original" as pre-
pared by Buckland "purports" to be
the original house journal, but ow-
ing to lack of time, he cannot attest to
its correctness.

ECONOMY
The WORD
IF DEPARTMENT HEADS GET GAY
WITH PUBLIC MONEY REGISTER
ED WARRANTS WILL BE RESULT

Unless the heads of the Territorial
departments exercise considerable
economy in the matter of expenditures
for the present year, warrants will
have to be registered in February and
March.
Before the legislature met the Gov
ernor was furnished with the follow
ing as the estimate for the biennial
period, $3193,OOO. Treasurer Camp
bell figured that at least 100000 more
could be added to this sum as the
smaller amount would represent the
cash balance that would probably be
on hand at the end of the fiscal year,
June 80. Appropriations amounting
to $3,361 ,425 were made by the legis-
lature. But the cash balance will not
be so large as expected. Already the
money for the expenses of the legis-
lature has been paid out of that sum
if there be any rush on the part of
Territorial departments to draw on
their old appropriations before the eX-
piration of June, then the cash bal
ance which was figured of 100000 will
not be available for the new biennial
period.
1t would not be surprising if the
cash on hand would be cut down ma
terially, and until the reports from
the various departments for this
month will have been passed on, it
will be possible to determine exactly
where the Territory will stand. If
there be rush by the various depart
ments to spend the appropriations,
then there will be a shortage of cash
by February and March The salary
appropriations are pro rata and can be
drawn only every month, but the gen
eral appropriations involve no such
conditions
One reason that the Territory may
run behind will be on account of hav-
| ing to advance money to the Counties.
During the first four months of every
half year, the countries draw propor-
tionately more money from the Terri
tory than they pay back in the way of
various receipts. During the last two
months however the receipts from the
Counties come in and this pays back
the Territory for advances.
1t is not thought, however, that
there will ultimately be any shortage
of funds in the way of Territorial in
come and the registration of the war
rauts will be but temporary If how
ever the new license law giving the
Counties that income is sustained by
the Supreme Court, then the finances
of the Territory may become embar-
rassed and a shortage result

1871 MARRIAGES
IN MONTH OF MAY
CUPID AND CLERGY WORKING
OVERTIME-SEV NEW BA-
BIES-1O4 DEATHS.

Priest and parson, clergyman and
kahunapule worked overtime during
the merry month of May, for the vital
statistics for that gladstone moon, just
to hand, show that no less than 131
marriages occurred, on an average of
over four a day. This comes pretty
near being the best record for a long
time.
During the aforesaid happy period
the local population was increased by
seventy, over two per diem on an av-
erage. This should be encouraging
to Roosevelt enthusiasts and the next
governor should distribute 20 little
Teddy bears by way of souvenirs.
There were 1O4 deaths during May
of which 81 were males and so females,
the annual death rate per 1000 of popu-
lation being 31.75. The number of
deaths shows an increase of IS com

PURELY BUSINESS FEED COM

STATUS FEDERAL BUILDING SITE.

f. w. Macfarlane, of the Union Feed
Company is resentful over the state
ment that his company, or any mem
ber of it is holding up the deal of the
Federal government for the Mahuka
site for the new Federal building. THE
matter is purely a business proposition
between the Union Feed Company and
the Commission appointed by Cover
nor Carter" said Mr.. Macfarlane in an
interview this morning, "and the state
ment that we are trying to stand up
anybody is entirely incorrect. 1t is
true that up to the present time we
have not seen INT to accept the PROPOSE
tion of the commission, but we are not
doing anything of a standup character.

row morning when / presume the mat
ter will be decided finally"

LOSS OF PRESIDENT GRIFFITHS'
HOUSE ACT OF INCENDIARY.

Fire at LAS o'clock this morning
utterly destroyed the almost complet-
ed building in the Oahu College
grounds intended for occupancy by
President Griffiths.
There is strong reason to believe
that the flames were started by an in
cendiary who had for his object ven
geance. The police, the underwriters
and the fire department are at WORK
on the case and an inquest will De
held this afternoon or tomorrow.
Contractor Campbell was the builder
and he employed Japanese to do the
work. Campbell also constructed the
Waldron house, burned not long ago,
and Japanese were employed on the
work
The theory at present is that con-
siderable feeling has been occasioned
by the employment of Japanese when
the work might have been given to
white men or Hawaiians and that this
feeling materialized in the form of a
torch applied in the early morning
hours.
The circumstances of this mornings
Ire and the circumstances of the burn
ing of the Waldron premises in Col
lege Hills are very similar. At time of
the respective fires there was no one
living in either house, Each house
was all but completed. No satisfactory
explanation was ever made of the
Waldron fire. In each case the first

that some other method will have to
be taken for raising $17,50O which it
seems stands in the way of opening
Bishop street between King and Mer-
chant street, which is all that the Fed
eral government demands. When the
Mahuka property which is being
handled by the Henry Waterhouse
Trust Company, was selected, it was
conditional that a sixty-foot street be
opened on the Waikiki side of the lot
between King and Merchant strets
Besides the Mahuka heirs several other
parties would have to surrender
property in order to do this, including

1t is reported about the city that
Senator George c. Hewitt has left the

rumor could not be verified however.
Hewitt is one of the Republican SEN

DEATH CANE QUICKLY.
Body of Late A. L. Williams Arrives
Funeral Tomorrow.

The body of General A. L. Williams
arrived in Topeka this morning at s
o'clock over the Rock Island accom-
panied by his daughter, Mrs. w. L.
Dickey of Tulsa, Ok, and his son
Burns who were with him at his sum-
mer home on Pixies Peak at the time
of his death. Thay bring with them
the first account of the death of the
great lawyer.
On the day of his death General
Williams slept late, arising just before
the noon hour and going to the kitchen
told his daughter, Mrs. Dickey, that he
was ready for breakfast and retired to
his room. Ten minutes later Mrs.
Dickey entered the room to inform him
that his meal was prepared and found
him reclining on the couch dead, though
the repose of his features indicated a
pleasant sleep.
DR.. ]. c. McClintock, who is visiting
in Colorado, called at the Williams cot
tage the day preceding the general s
death and found his heart action weak,
and his sudden death which followed
was undoubtedly due to heart failure.
The trouble which was indirectly the
cause of the death of General Williams
started three years ago from an ulcer
ated tooth which afterwards necessita-
ted two operations for blood poison and
undermined his system already weak
en- by advance age.
The funeral which will be held from
the family residence, 1195 Fillmore
street Saturday afternoon at o'clock
will be conducted by Rev. Dean Kaye
of the Episcopal church. The services
at the cemetery will be conducted by
Lincoln post G. A r. of which Mr..
Williams had long been a member. The
paIlbearers are w. H. Rossington, N.
H Loomis, Frank Doster, George F.
Sharitt, Charles Blood Smith and Rob-
ert W. Blair. The honorary pallbearers
are A. H. Case, J. G. Waters G. A.
Huron, James Brewer and John F. Car
ter Judge John Williams, a brother
of General Williams, and his niece, Mrs.
John Crittendun of Quincy, ILL.,, are
expected to arrive in Topeka today,
also W. L. Dickey of Tulsa, Ok.
GOOD WILLIAMS STORY.
A number of interesting stories are
related in connection with Mr.. Will
Jams love of a good story, even If turn
ed upon himself. His was a lively
sense of humor and he was ready to
fected himself or another. Here is one
of them told by himself. In the
early days Mr.. Williams, like many
other new corners, was often hard
presented repeatedly a bill of $45 for
suit of clothes he had made for Mr..
Williams and which the latter had al
ready worn almost to the limit. Fin
ally the tailor came into the office one
day just after Mr.. Williams had re-
ceived a fee of $50 in single bill. This
Mr.. Williams presented to the tailor al
once. The latter was so suddenly over
come that he could scarcely receipt the
bill and was totally unprepared to give
said Mr.. Williams. just let that stand
a while. I will keep after you for it
and have the supreme satisfaction of
dunning a tailor. Tailors have dunned

rOcate.'

resort in New London Conn, and sew
eral days ago he was taken there on his
private car.
Mr.. Mansfield had a home on Riverside
drive in New York.
For some reason or other Mansfield
got the reputation throughout the
length and breadth of the land of be-
ing a sort of an eccentric individual, not
so much eccentric either, but rather a
man OF most irascible disposition and
with a violent temper. This reputation
was not deserved and was probably Sc
cured because MI. Mansfield was a
great stickler for perfection in all of the
details of the production of play. and
in getting the managers of many of tn
theaters throughout the country to have
things done on the stage as he wished
them, he had to use pretty plain talk.
AS a matter of fact Mansfield was
man Of exceptional characteristics whose
ideals in all things were of the highest.
He was a fast and true friend and was
held in the highest esteem by all who
were acquainted with him personally.
He was however subject to violent fits
of temper and often had trouble with
members of his company.
Mr.. Mansfield was last seen in Topeka
at the Grand opera house as Baron
Chevrial in "a Partisan Romance"
