COLLEGE CLUB CELEBRATES
ITS BIRTHDAY BY A PLAY
tFrom Wednesdays Advertiser,

whose office was further designated by
| their very becoming oxford caps.
| Before the curtain was drawn, Queen
Liliuokalani, wearing a magnificent
gown of rich brocade, attended by the
beautiful Princess Kalanianaole, also
in a most becoming gown, with rich
ornament Of pearls in her dark hair,
was escorted to the seat reserved for
her by the president of the club. It
was graceful courtesy charmingly
| rendered.
The platform had been transformed
into a stage, the play presented being
favorite with college dramatic clubs:
THE Land of Hearts Desire" 1t was
written by William Butler Teats. It
was an Irish idyl of May Day eve,
when the influence of the Little People
was supposed to be peculiarly mani
fest The time was a century ago, the
scene the cabin of a well-to-do Irish
farmer. The daughter-in-law,
dreamy, star-gazing girl, answering
three times a knock at the door, be,
slows upon the fairy supplicants milk
bread and fire, and so gives them power
over the house for a year. The Fairy
.Child-which was well rendered by
Miss Ruth Farrington-is admitted
after this rash act, and endeavors to
lure away to the Land of Hearts De-
sire, the gentle Marie, who, impelled
to follow, is restrained by the holy
offices of the priest, Father Hart, and
so dies. The parts were all cleverly
taken, but the strong dramatic feeling
and admirable reading of Mrs A. F..
knudsen entitled her to the highest
praise. Miss Mary May Thomas, both
in her act ng and in appearance, made
most lovely Marie, while little Miss
Farrington's wonderful memory and
intelligent rendition of her part were
quite out of the ordinary. The play
was well given throughout. There
was no prompting, which is often con,
spicuous in amateur plays and little of
the stiffness Of such entertainments.
The evening was altogether a most en-
joyable one. The cast was as follows.
Maurteen Bruin-Miss Ida Pope.
Bridget, his wife-Mrs. A. f. Knudsen
Shawn, their son-Miss Ruth Hunt
ngton.
Marie, Shawn's bride-Miss Mary

| The College Club celebrated the sec
ond anniversary of it's founding yester-
day evening, by charming dramatic
entertainment followed by dance at
Punahou.
The club began with forty charter
members. Like the University Club, 1t
is made up of graduates and former
students who have spent year or
more at a college or university. More
than half it's present membership,
numbering over eighty. are college
graduates holding at least one degree.
Twenty-four colleges and universities
are represented on its roster. Amongst
it's good works, it has established a
loan fund to assist girls to obtain q
college education. One young girl,
thus aided, has already gone away to
begin her college course and another
will go next year. Many persons in
Honolulu have been asked to cooperate
with the club in raising the DR.. Day
memorial fund which will be used in
fighting tuberculosis in Honolulu. Al
ready a considerable sum has been
subscribed.
The birthday party was the first eff

STEAMER To RUN
UNLESS At LOSS

"The most telling work that locaI
merchants can do to make it an object
for the o. S. S. Co. to keep the S. S
Sierra on the San Francisco Honolulu
run, is, when ordering goods from the
Coast, to stipulate that they be shipped
by the Sierra"
So spake w. NJ. Giffard to a reporter
yesterday.
$50 far it is impossible to speak
definitely regarding freight prospects, -
continued Mr.. Giffard. "The sugar
season is nearly over but that won I
affect the situation appreciably. The
American Hawaiian boats take most of
the sugar away from here while our
own sugar is largely shipped direct
from the other islands.
"We shall expect to handle bananas,
pineapples and other island products,
but it is the freight coming from San
Francisco that will count.
"a passenger boat must have freight
in order to make both ends meet, for
whether the passenger list be large or
small. The expense is going on all the
time.
GAS to whether the Sierra will be
kept on the run or not, all can say
is that she will continue on her schedule
unless she operates at an actual loss "

dale, Ala, from whence they will be
transferred. Practically all of the
Southern Railway engineers running
into Columbus were formerly mem
bers of the Avondale branch. but the
recent change in management of the
Greenville division of the Southern
makes it inconvenient for many en-
gineers to affiliate with the Avondale
branch, so it was decided to organize
a local division of the brotherhood.

is HIMSELF KILLED.
The Negro Formerly Worked for Ex-
Sheriff J. Il. Armstrong, and is
Brother of Feb Richardson,
Who Killed Levi Shaw.

Jno. Richardson, alias Frank Rich
ardson, Lowndes county negro, shot
and killed Mr.. J. E. Sullivan, agent
of the Alabama Great Southern Rail-
road at Woodstock, Ala, last Friday,
and in turn was killed by Mr.. Sulli-
van. The killing resulted from a dis
pute which arose concerning the
freight rate on some household goods
which the negro was about to ship to
this city. Richardson was a native
OF this county, having been a brother
of Feb Richardson, who about a year
ago was sent to the penitenttiary for
the murder of Levi Shaw, negro
who was killed on the plantation of
Dr. J. d. Mccullough. The dead ne
gro formerly worked on the planta-
tAe Lebanon neighborhood, where his
parents are now employed.
The following account of the trag-
edy is taken from the Birmingham
News of last Friday:
u e. Sullivan, agent of the Ala
bama Great Southern Railroad at
Woodstock, Ala, and John Richard
SON, alias Frank Richardson, a dis
charged section laborer, are both
dead as the result of a pistol and
shotgun duel this morning about Z

brought to this city ON an extra en-
-gine, No. I91, and rushed to the

He was hit only one time by the ne
gro, who is said to have shot five

van have been turned over to a local

Richardson, the negro, had been
employed as a section 7aborer ON the
Aiabam Great Southern road until
a few days ago, when he was dis
charged. This morning about seven
O'Clock he came to the railway sta
tion with a bundle of bedding which
he desired to express to Columbus,
Miss According to information gath
ered, he asked Mr. Sullivan the rate.
This official weighed the bundle and
informed the negro of the rate.

to have replied: You know nothing
about rates, and don't dispute my

Two Hoodoo Doctors Jailed.

Henry Jennings and Charlie White,
two negro hoodoo doctors who have
been f1eecing members of their race
living in the neighborhood of Union
Academy for some time past, were
arrested by Officers Smith and Bra
zealle last Friday. When taken into
custody the two worthless had a va
lise filled with charm balls, "cunger"
bags and other articles supposed to
bring about necromantic results. The
law provides that persons engaging
in pursuits of this character may
upon arrest give bond for good be-
havior for a term of one year, and
upon so doing shall be released from
custody. Jennings and White were
offered this opportunity when taken
before Mayor Donnell Friday after
noon. The mayor fixed the amount
of bail at $3.50 in each case, and
upon failure to secure bondsmen the
negroes were sent to the county farm
for thirty days.

word or I will take stick and crack
you over the head,
THE statement was made that the
negro then made a move TO draw a
pistol Mr.. Sullivan stepped into his
Office and secured a shotgun. AS he
emerged from the door, it is said, the
negro began shooting, the second
shot lodging in the abdomen of Mr..
Sullivan. The latter opened fire with
shotgun. The first shot went wild,
and the negro got around the build
ing. Mr. Sullivan shot again as the
negro was turning and the shot en-
tered the negro's face, producing al
most instant death. 1t is said that
the negro shot five times and Mr.. Sui
livan twice. Both received only one
wound, and both proved fatal.
LAS soon as the shooting occurred
several people around the station
rushed to the assistance of Mr.. Sui
livan 1t was thought on examina-
ton that his wounds were dangerous
and special engine was ordered to
bring the wounded man to this city.
When he was placed on the train all
possible speed was made and an am
ing at the local station. He was taken
quickly to the Copeland Infirmary.
Examination of his wound caused at
tending physicians to believe he was
fatally wounded. After lingering for
about four hours he breathed his last.
*SThe bullet entered the abdomen
and ranged into the kidneys. A hem
orrhage of the kidneys was the direct
cause of death.
'sThe shooting has caused a gloom
to pass over the citizens of Wood
stock, as Mr.. Sullivan was widely
known and greatly esteemed. He
had been employed by the Alabama
Great Southern Railroad for the past
twenty years, and was regarded as
one of the most valuable men In the
employ of the company. He had beer
located at Woodstock for the past fif
teen years.
