LITTLE PRESSURE TO SELL

NEW YORK, August 22.-FollownE
an early period of irregularity, 10 day
stock market moved to generallv
higher level Business was only mod
crate in volume, however. and opera
tons savored strongly of professional
ism.
On the whole, better feeling pre-
vailed as to tho future of the mar
let. This sentiment was based in part
on the absence of pressure to. sou
stocks and the belief that all ordinary
commercial and Industrial failures
have been discounted. Business on the
exchange during the early session was
slightly enlivened by the suspension of
an inconspcuous brokerage firm,
whose embarrassment was attributed
m the failure of its customers to make
good Impaired margins. The TRACTION
shares were an exception TO the general
recovery. Pressure against the inter-
borough Metropolitan issues resulted
in marked declines in both the conf
mon and preferred stocks. and followed
further reports of general reorgan-
ization of the whole system. Another
cut in the price of Copper was made
by the local metal exchange. but the
Copper shares held we'll above yester-
days closing quotations. During the
late session on the exchange the move
ment became irregular again, prices
sagging somewhat on realizing for
profits The final hour developed in
creased dizziness, but on renewal of
short covering, prices moved un and
closed at general net gains.
A notable feature of the closing was
a further decline in Third Avenue
stock. which suffered a net loss of 81
points.

be observed that the exercises at the

Yesterday afternoon, at ten minutes
past one O'Clock, Judge George D.
Gear breathed his last. He was uncon
scious to the end and at the time of his
death his wife and brother, A. V. Gear,
as well as number of his most in
innate friends were present. All that
was possible in the skill of the medical
fraternity in Honolulu was done to pro-
long his life but without avail.
Judge Gear retired last Friday night
at his home and appeared to be in
good health, though complaining that
he had a severe headache He rested
easily till about 3 O'Clock Saturday
morning, when Mrs. Gear noticed that
he appeared to be in pain. She tried
to rouse him but, finding this impossi-
BILE, summoned DR.. Herbert. The physi-
clan decided that Judge Gear was suf-
fering from ptomaine poisoning and
applied the usual restoratives but with
out success.
Drs. Wayson, Judd, Walters, Wood,
Rogers and Osmers were all called into
consultation and an operation was de-
cided on late Sunday night, for which
purpose the patient was taken to the
Queens hospital. This last resort did
not prove to be the means of saving
the attorneys life and at II O'Clock
yesterday morning the physicians an
nounced that they had given up all
hope. After this an effort was made
to prolong the life of the dying man
by use of saline injections, in the hope
that he might regain consciousness be-
fore the end came. It turned out that
nothing could be done, however, and
Judge Gear passed away shortly after
l o'clock.
A post-mortem examination was held
which showed that the cause of death
was cerebral meningitis from an alb

scess behind the ear for which Judge
Gear underwent an operation about six
weeks ago. Having early in the last
attack become unconscious, he was of
course unable to designate the seat of
trouble.
Judge George D. Gear, one of the
foremost members of the bar of the
Territory of Hawaii, was born in
Quincy, Plumas County, Cal, on March
21, 1868, hence was less than 40 years
of age at death. He received his edu-
cation in the State of Ohio, then going
to California where he studied law in
the Office of his father, II. L. Gear of
San Francisco. He was admitted to
practise by the Supreme Court of the
State of California in 1892, passing his
examination in Los Angeles. He took
up legal work at once, practising in
San Francisco with his father.
For some years he assisted his father
in law reporting, the elder Gear hav-
ing been recognized textbook writer.
"Gear on Landlord and Tenant is a
well known authority, not to mention
others from the same author.
One of Judge Gears most notable
triumphs was the manner in which he
handled the defense of Captain Lucien
Young before a Naval court martial
at Mare Island, in connection with
the Bennington disaster, about two
years ago.
In 1894 he went to Guatemala where
he remained for two years, then com
ing to Honolulu, where he has remain
ed since From his arrival in this
city till his death he has always been
regarded as one of the leading attor-
neys of the city and great many of
the most important cases which have
been brought before the Supreme Court

Tired but happy and without one
regret for anything done or left undone
the members of the Congressional party
and their escorts and guides returned
s from Kauai yesterday morning, the
/ good ship Kinau docking shortly after
IS O'Clock. The faces of the visitors
showed perfect satisfaction and their
clothes showed red dust as they lined
up for the gangplank and bade Admiral
Beckley au revoir before taking hacks
for their hotels. They had had good
time, had ridden in the preceding forty
eight hours in every kind of vehicle
but a wheelbarrow, had been intro
duced to the luau and found it good,
had chewed McBryde sugar cane, test
ed several kinds of new fruits, learned
to say "aloha nui' and generally en-
.joyed themselves in ways novel and
delightful Their introduction to rural
Hawaii made an impression upon the
forgotten by them and which will be
productive of benefit to the Territory
when matters affecting the islands are
up for consideration in Congress.
The visit of the Congressman and
their ladies was gratifying to the Kau-
aians, who gathered to meet them at
every point where stop was to be
made along the line, who allowed their
guests no opportunity of experiencing
either thirst or hunger, and whose
ealohas rang true from the first land
ing in the early morning of Saturday
at the beautiful bay of Hanalei until
the party pulled away from shore to
depart on the Kinau at Hanamaulu.
ACCOMMODATING WEATHER.
The passage over from Honolulu,
which was begun shortly before 10
O'Clock on Friday night, was smooth
one and with one or two exceptions the
party escaped any spasms of seasick-
ness. At daybreak the steamer was
off the coast of Kauai, skirting the
northern shore until Hanalei bay was
entered about o'clock. The party,
with appetites sharpened by the trip,
was taken ashore in boats and greeted
at the little landing by A. S. Wilcox,
who had come over with Mrs. Wilcox
and Miss Wilcox from Lihue to enter |
tain the island s guests, and by a large
number of the residents. Breakfast
was served on the roomy lanai of the
