Bryan Arouses Enthusiasm.

William Jennings Bryan and Mrs Bryan
attended the ceremony as guests Of the
United Confederate Veterans. They rode
in the parade in the carriage Of Gov. and
Mrs. Swanson, and were given continu-
Gus ovation. As they approached the
monument itself the carriages were swal-
lowed up by the multitude. and the dis
tinguished visitors were momentarily lost
but the crowd renewed the demonstration
as Mr.. Bryan was again seen on the plat
form. He had no official part in the pro-
gramme.
An interesting feature was the kid"
band from Louisville, composed Of little
fellows hardly out OF their swaddling
clothes. They marched ahead Of the
Kentucky veterans and sponsors. and near
them in carriage was Gen. Simon B.
Buckner, who, it will be remembered, was
a part Of the Palmer and Buckner sound
money Presidential ticket in 1895.

ANDREWS AND BROOKS
WERE NOT D|sBARRED
Shanghai, Jan. II, 1907.


Editor Advertiser: / suppose by the
time this reaches you, you will have
heard of the action of Judge Wiley
who held farce examination and cody
announced that none of us passed ex-
cept a clerk in mercantile house and
an old deaf man who had not. prac-
ticed in court for ten years. He has
brought a lawyer with him whom he
admitted without examination and a
very pretty game of graft has com
menced. The community here is much
worked up but as we had already had
assurance from the State Department
in Washington that he has nothing to
do with the other courts out here ex-
elusive of Wilfey's own and that they
will enforce our rights to all other
courts and as probably he will soon
have to withdraw from his position,
| write to you so that you may be able
to contradict any rumors as to our
being disbarred as in fact our business
will go on about as usual except that
American prestige here has suffered a
severe blow by his action. With best
wishes TO all, 1 remain,
Yours truly,

kELLY'S SIDE GETS
A REINFORCEMENT
Honolulu, Jan. 30th, 1907.

Honolulu, Jan. 30th, 1907.
Editor Advertiser: Have read with
much interest Mr.. j. J. Kelly's account
of his travels in the Colonies and the
criticisms on the same by auckland
err and New South Welshman,"
which appear in the P. c. Advertiser
of Jan. 18th, 9th and 3oth. respectively.
Mr.. Kelly may not be so far off after
all in his statement that Melbourne
bank was closed for a week. He did
not say the bank was closed for seven
days. he said week, and in a general
way that does not always mean seven
days.
Five days make a school week, six
days working week, (for most peo-
ple). and seven days a whole week.
l have been in the Colonies myself.
I was in Sydney one season when every
bank in the city was closed for nearly
five days.
1t happened this way. Mr.. New
South Welshman." Christmas came on
Thursday, Friday was Boxing day (you
know what that means in the Colo
nies), Saturdays. the banks are never
open more than about two hours, and
Sunday is an off day. The conse-
quence was that all the banks closed
their doris about 3 p. m. wednesday,
and did not open them again until 10
a. m. Monday. That comes within five
hours of being five days, though 1t
might be stretching a point a little to
call 1t a week.
1 was in Auckland on Labor day and
the rain prevented them from having
their grand parade and usual exer-
cises, so on the same day of the fol-
lowing week they took another holiday
and had their celebra ton in proper
form.
They are sporty people down there
and believe In getting the most pleas
ure possible out of life and why
shouldn't they as long as they can at
ford it? I admire their sporty ways,
1t is good clean sport.
They will never grow prematurely
old from overwork. Thanking you for
your valuable space,-I am

THE HAWAIIAN BOARDS
FAMINE RELIEF FUND


The second instalment, of $3.50 gold,
making $3.50 silver, has been sent by
the steamer leaving for China today.
The friends of the Chinese in Honolulu
have been very kind in helping this
fund on Not only will their money
save many from suffering, starvation
and death, but it gives the missionary
worker in this province, who aids in
the relief distribution, a wonderful in
f1uence for good over these poor people
in distress. This time of need also
gives a grand opportunity for the build
ing up of the church in China, and the
preaching of the Gospel. The Y. M.
G. A. hope to secure a large addition
to this fund by their lecture tonight.
The following letter was sent by
steamer today:

is going on We shall keep at work on
this fund and will send you more at
a later date. With best wishes, am,

showed improvement SO great that few
days ago he made an effort to find en-
ployment. His letters were answered, and
yesterday he received one response in which
the writer told him to call at once. Dilger
then realized that he was not able to accept
a position and fill 1t to the satisfaction of
his employer, and he again became despond-
ent. There was no occasion for his leav-
ing home and going to work. because his
brothers-in-law were perfectly willing to
provide for him. and had advised him
against making any effort to work.
Body Found in Bed.

of his sisters took him cup of coffee about
$3.50 O'Clock. and about twenty minutes
later. when Mrs. Mcmahon went to his
room she was Mortified when she saw her
brothers body resting upon the bed, his
head held few inches from the pillow by
a piece of braid. She could hardly realize
that life was extinct. because he was alive
only few minutes earlier.
AS stated. DR.. Billiard. however found
that life was extinct. and the police were
notified. Precinct Detective Fortney and
Policeman Bennett went to the house and
made an investigation. Later the coroner
called and disposed of the case. A message
was sent to Bluefeld informing the brother
there of what had occurred.

IAMPLIGHTERS' TROUBLES.
Commissioners Determine That There

The seventeen lamplighters who. 1t is al

The new men who were employed In tneir

did their work on time and no disorder OF
any kind arose while they were attending
to the work.
Secretary Frank Morrison Of the Amer

in answer to a query stated that the fed

was expected that President Brinkman of

When Commissioner Mcfarland was
asked in regard to the matter he stated:
Il think there must be some mistake
about 1t, for I cannot imagine what Mr..
Brinkman would have to ask of the Com
missioners In this matter. He knows. Of
course that the public lighting must not
be interfered with by anybody for any

SUICIDE BY HANGING
FREDERICK MICHAEL DILGER
HIS OWN ExEcUTIoNER.

Frederick Michael Dilger. the former ac-
tor, who attempted suicide the day after
last Christmas by jumping overheard from
one of the Alexandria ferry boats, as stat
ed In The Star at the time, ended his life
this morning by hanging. He was at the
home Of his sisters, Mrs: Lerch and Mrs.
Mcmahon, 1875 9Th street. when he COM
mitted the deed. Mrs. Mcmahon discovered
the body of her brother and sent for DR..
Billiard. When the physician arrived at the
house he found that life was extinct. Cor
oner hewitt made an investigation and is
sued the necessary certificate. Relatives of
the deceased are satisfied that the deed
was committed because of the fact that
the mind of the unfortunate man was i'm
paired. He had been treated at the Middle
town, N. Y. Hospital for the Insane. and
his sister Mrs. Lerch Is now under treat
ment at the Government Hospital here.
The deceased, who was about thirty years
of age, was native of Alexandria, Va,
but most of his life was spent In this city.
He came here, 1t Is stated. when he was
about nine years Of age. Dilger was a good
singer and he aspired to become an actor.
He found it an easy matter to satisfy his
ambition, but did not obtain much success.
Because of the impaired condition of his
mind he was sent to the New York asylum
and later to Bluefield, w. Va. where he has

impaired but when he returned from West
Virginia his condition was about the same
as when he went there.
Spent Christmas With Relatives.
Dilger spent Christmas day with relatives
In this city. The sight of one eye was COM
pletely gone and he could see but little with
the other. His condition was really pit
liable. The fact that others were having
s,Ich a good time during the holiday season
made him Respondent. He had been home
from Bluefield for only a short while when
he went to the river front. wrote a note
telling of his infirmities and jumped over
board from the steamer. The shock pro-
duced by the cold water was so great that
his condition seemed to improve while he
was In the water. and he was afterward
grateful to his rescuers. After he, had re-
! covered from his chilly experiences he was
taken from the Emergency Hospital to the
home OF his sisters on 9Th street.
From the time he was taken from the
river his condition improved. The shock

A Shrewd but Sleeping Dog.

A dog who usually accompanied his
master on evening visits to a neighbours
house fell asleep there one night and
was forgotten. Long after his master
had gone the sleepy fellow awoke to
dnd himself alone and in the dark. The
door was shut and locked and the FAM

Though the windows were closed. one
blind was open, and the dog, determin-
ing to go home, leaped through the win

Some time after he, was spending
the evening with his master in the
same house, and as before he went to
sleep, but not in the usual place. When
the dogs owner prepared to leave, his
hat and cane were missing. A search
showed not only the missing articles,
but something else. The cane and hat
had been taken from the rack and lay
on the floor, while by their side rested
the sleeping dog. But one paw was on
the hat and the other across the cane
