from rivalry. In presenting his resig-

tute influence as soon as possible. lie

collects all the charity offerings and ap-
portions them among the various Jewish
philanthropic organizations, but under
takes to manage each of these in the
minutest details.' Mrs. Spectorsky, who
is also widely known as settlement
worker. says that she is dissatisfied with
the neighborhood. In other cities, "
she complains, eve have always lived
near the Settlement building, but Clin-
ton street (where the Settlement is To-
cated), is impossible!" Bogen, who has
been placed in charge Of the Settlement
until successor for SpectorsEy is found,
when seen by your correspondent said
Il positively will not allow any more in
definite work in the Settlement. This is
a subject on which I have been forced to
quarrel with my boyhood friend, Mr..

WaverIy Iowa.

Abraham Simmer, multi-million-
aire and Iowa s most noted philanthropy
list, who in his youth lived in Wayne
county, Ohio, has adopted a unique plan
of distributing aims. He is driving over
the state personally looking for those
who need help and giving it to whom
soever he finds in need of it. In this
way he purposes to spend the fortune
still left to him.
81 shall travel over all Iowa giving
my money as 1 go,'' he said. Then l
may go into other states. [ intend to
spend all my money before l die, Civ
ing it to those who need it. -
No account is kept Of his charities.
He personally investigates every case
that comes to his notice, and what he
gives no one knows. That he is dis
tributing tens and hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars about the state, however,
is certain.

NEBRASKAN PILIKIA.

The American Hawaiian steamship
Nebraskan is in still further trouble
As was announced by the Advertiser a
short time ago she left Salina Cruz
for San Francisco late, on account of
trouble with her engines, and was to
have repairs made in the California
port, going there for that purpose in
stead of coming direct to this city,
according to her usual schedule.
Advices received by cable yesterday
state that the Nebraskan left Salina
Cruz but was compelled to put back
again on account of further trouble
and her date of arrival and her date
of departure from San Francisco is
therefore uncertain. Announcement of
when she win leave for this city viii

it is probable that Mr.. Rubenstein will

THE Legislature at it's last session,
appropriated the sum of five hundred
dollars for the erection. at Lahaina,
Maui, of a monument to commemorate
the PRONUNCIATION of the first Hawai-
ian Constitution by Kamehameha III.
The bill also provided that the work
be done under the direction of the
Archive Commission.
THE Board of Commissioners, at
a meeting held August 20 last, direct
ed me to communicate with the Kilo-
hama Art League, asking if any of it's
members would be willing to aid the
Board with suggestions as to a suit

1t a great favor if these suggestions
be accompanied by sketch.
1.-THE monument is to be erected close
to the shore line, and something that
could be pointed out from passing

the small amount available may pre-
clude this, but possibly some of the
members can suggest something to ac-

HELM HARD-A-LEE.

Comdr. ]. NJ. Helm, U. S.N., who ar
rived at San Francisco, Cal, Sept. TO-
from the Asiatic Station, where he
commanded the cruiser Galveston, is
quoted as saying that the report from
Honolulu of mutiny or anything re-
sembling a mutiny on the cruiser
Raleigh during it's stay there is libel
on one of the best ships companies
that ever manned an American war
ship. When the Raleigh arrived at
Honolulu, says Captain Helm, the first
duty was to coal ship, and until this
was finished neither officers nor men
were allowed shore liberty. The ship
was coaled within two days and all
hands, watch by watch. were allowed
ashore. IT am sorry that story was
printed said Captain Helm. I'm the
first place. it Is not true. There is no
better discipline on any ship in the
Navy than on the Raleigh, where the
esprit de corps Is unusually strong.

ords for target practice and all around

SUPREME COURT HANDS
DOWN THREE DECISIONS

The Supreme Court yesterday hand.
ed down decisions IN three cases. One
of these was that of Carman vs. Car

The statement of the decision in the
syllabus is that Equity has no juris-
diction to declare a plaintiffs title

In the appeal of A w. 7. Bottom
ley, trustee, VS.. William A. Hall, the
court decided among other things that
it was the amount asked for in a suit
and not the amount actually due that
determined the Jurisdiction of district
courts.
The third case was that of All Sing

exceptions was dismissed on the
ground that the defendants had elect

of the defendants.

"reminiscences extending through the
most romantic period of Hawaiian his
tory would fill a volume.
Married at the age of sixteen to a
high chief in the time of Kamehame-
ha H., and whose first wife (Kekau-
onohi was granddaughter of Kameha-
meha l., she became early in life iden-
titled with the royal family, and
Through the reign of five sovereigns,
was a prominent and attractive figure
in court circles.
Mrs. Haalelea, formerly Ululani Ena,
was married at Hilo to Levi Haalelea,
who was a member of the house of
mobiles and one of the Privy Council
during the reign of Kamehameha ".
The honeymoon was spent at the old
palace in Kailua, and from there Haa-
lelea brought his bride to his home in
Honolulu-the place known in those
days as Holani Pa is now called Haa-
lelea Lawn. Inc mousse was an eX-
ceptionally fine one for the time, and
to the young bride coming from Ha-
waii to Honolulu for the first time
everything was beautiful as a dream.
The Queen Dowager, cousin of HALE
lea, had her residence adjoining Holani
Pa, and it was with her that Mrs.
Haalelea spent much of her time. She
kept a fine pair of horses and a white
man for a driver-an unusual thing for
those days-and would often send for
her young friend at four o'clock in
the morning and together, they would
go to Moanalua as far as Kapukaki,
returning in time for breakfast
Her happy married life lasted but seven
years. She had love for books and
poetry and many beautiful verses in
Hawaiian are from her pen. 1t was
one of her dreams to translate Ben
Hur, book which she greatly admir-
ed, into Hawaiian, and the work was
partially done at the time of her'
death.

To SAVE BABES
At kALAUPAPA

The nursery for babies at the Leper
Settlement is almost completed. The
purpose OF this institution Is in line
with the work of the homes for nom
leprous boys and girls. The purpose
Of 1t is to take the babes of leprous
mothers, with the parents consent. as
soon after birth as poss'st>. and rear
them free from the danger of -conta-
! gion or infection. The nursery has
room for twenty-eight infants, and is
provided with all suitable appliances
and necessaries OF such an institution.
including means of cooking and pre-
pairing infants food.
In addition to this the building for a
contagious and infectious disease hos
pital-contagious and infectious dis
eases other than leprosy-is nearing
completion. 1t will contain five rooms
and will accommodate on occasion
about twice that number of patients
All modern devices for contagious dis
ease hospitals have been Incorporated.
1t is so arranged that there is complete
isolation and any cases of contagious
or infectious diseases breaking out at
the settlement can be perfectly isolated
and properly handled.
The general hospital which has been
planned for so long is now about to be
commenced. The foundations are being
laid and most of the material is on the
ground. 1t will contain twenty-four
beds. Besides these there will be
changing and disinfecting rooms,
shower baths for both male and female
a drug room. and an OPP
Grating room, and isolated kitchens and
store rooms. From the kitchens the
food will be sent into the wards on
special food trucks and the dishes will
be disihfected before going back to the
kitchen. There will be separate
dining room for employees.
These institutions will all be located
within convenient range of each other
near the foot of the pail on the Ka-
aupapa side of the isthmus.

RACE TRACK
At MOANALUA

s. NJ. Damon. who has done more for
golf and polo than anyone else in the
Territory, maintaining at his own ex-
pense grounds for both of these games,
is considering the laying out of race
track, where the sport of kings can
be carried on in a manner that will
probably reinstate il in popular favor.
On the level grounds of the estate,
Eva of the golf links, a six furlong
track has already been surveyed and
staked out and tentative plans are laid
for going ahead with this and putting
it into shape.
Mr.. Damon is reported TO have said
that he wo1ld be very glad to see the
sport Of hcrseracing fiourishing here
again, if properly conducted. He leaves
in a short time for England, where he
will look into the arrangements at
some of the best tracks of the country,
securing suggestions which might be
adopted here. On his return he will
proba bly, go ahead with the fitting up
OF the surveyed course at Moanalua.
The beautiful golf links and polo field
on his estate are practically given over
TO the public use by Mr.. Damon, in the
fostering Of clean sport, and it is prob
able that the track which Mr.. Damon
viii have laid out will be equally de-
able jockey club be formed. In such
an event Honolulu may have once more
good horse racing, cleanly conducted.

FRANCHISE HELD UP
BY MOB OF CITIZENS

CHICAGO, ILL.,, September 21-An
angry throng of citizens invaded the
council chambers in the city hall at
Whiting, Ind, last night, preventing
the passage of the ordinance granting
fifty-year franchise to the Ham
mond, Whiting and East Chicago
Railway Company, threatened to tar
and feather all aldermen who voted
for the unpopular measure, and drove
the aldermen from the hall.
Alderman Paul Schultz was roughly
handled. He was beaten and his cloth
ing was torn almost from his body
Chief of Police Lawler and a number
of policemen had difficulty in rescuing
him.
For several days Whiting has been
placarded with bills calling a mass
meeting of citizens to protest against
the franchise. Fully 500 men answered
the call. Headed by H. B. Dawson, a
wealthy real estate man, they march
ed with banners and a brass band to
the city hall. The council had assem-
bled and was preparing TO bring up
the franchise for passage Ali but one
of the aldermen were known to be in
favor of the measure.
Alderman Long and Alderman
Schultz. foremost champions of the
ordinance, attempted to speak in sup,
port of it They were Kissed to 81
lence. An inkwell was hurled through
the air from somewhere and broke
with a crash on Alderman Longs
desk. This gave the invaders courage
Aldermen Long, Schultz and Michael
were dragged to the front /
Of the chamber. They were arraign- |
ed like prisoners. Someone struck |
Schultz in the face. This precipitat-
I'd a general attack. Long edged away
through the throng and escaped. |
Schultz was numerically pummelled. |
At this juncture Chief LAWYER and the
entire police force of Whiting, con-
sisting Of fifteen men, charged into
he chamber and dispersed the mob.
