Hearst failed last night to make
good on his promise to open up a

revelations being confined to more

one from John d. Archbold to A.

Sibley against l.. Emery, whom the
Standard Oil man termed an old

from McLaurin to Archbold in
which the former faithfully related
adverse criticism he had heard of
Roosevelt.
Heney had challenged Hearst for
discussion of Hearst's opposition
to the San Francisco graft prosecu-

declaring Heney disrespectable and
saying he should be fastened in a

Special Correspondence to The Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 1O.-At a cost
of $100.000,000 another stupendOus
subway system is to be constructed
under the teeming streets of New
York. The new subway is to carry
freight. The idea was originated
by Wilbur ]. Wilgus, former vice
president and chief engineer of the
New York Central railroad.
The subway will be constructed
along the East and North rivers,
from the Battery to Sixty-sixth
street, and with cross town lines.
IN addition to the main subway sys-
tenn there will be branch lines run
ming beneath the sidewalks in the
downtown sections. Merchants can
load their goods on the freight cars
that will run through these sub
ways through connections with
their basement floors. 1t will then
be possible for a Broadway mer-
chant to ship box of merchandise
from the basement of his establish
ment to any point in the world.
The new freight subway will
have connections with all of the
railroads and incoming freight will
be distributed under the sidewalks
direct to the merchants basement.
It is proposed to use 10 ton cars
in the new bore. A space eight and
a half feet square Wilgus says will

INFLAMMATORY
RHEUMATISM
Cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and the Proof Is
Right Here.

For years evidence that infamma-
tory rheumatism is durable by DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills has been published.
That hundreds of people have tried
the treatment with good results is
shown by the increasing number of
cures reported.
Every sufferer from this most pain
full disease who does not try this treat
ment is neglecting the most hopeful
means of recovery as is shown by the
statement of Mr.. E. c. OdeH, of Nor
rison, Ill.
st suffered with infiammatory rheu-
matism for eighteen months before 1
found a cure he says. II had always
been more or less troubled with my
kidneys and stomach. The rheumatic
attack came on few years ago when
was living in New York state. AL
of my muscles were inf1amed and / was
swollen from head to foot. 1 couldn't
walk any distance at all without rest
ing. The pains were dull and aching
and once in a while were sharp and
shooting. The rheumatism began to
affect my heart, causing fainting
spells.
Il was under doctors treatment for
about a year, but didn't derive any
help from it and in fact think I grew
worse. / saw an account of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills in a newspaper and
began to use them at once. The relief
was almost immediate and I took the
pills until cured. 1 have never had the
rheumatism in any form since. My
wife has been very much benefited by
using the pills as a tonic and recon-
mends them as highly as I do"
Dr. Williams Pink Pills were origin
ally prescription used in the doctors
private practice and their benefit to
mankind has been increased many
thousand fold by their being placed on
general sale with the doctors own
directions for use. They are entirely
safe and contain no opiates or other
habit-forming drugs. They build up
the blood, strengthen the nerves and
have cured rheumatism in almost
every form, anaemia, troubles of women
and growing girls and many forms of
weakness.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price, so cents per box;
six boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams

the Atlantic coast, and in farther
regions. While still young man he
reached the Pacific Coast, and during
the Civil War he enlisted in Califor-
mia regiment. His service however
was wholly on the Pacific Coast. After
the war he came to Honolulu where he
has made his home for more than
forty years. In the early days of his
residence here he owned a schooner
which piled between the islands. He
also supplied ships with water and
ballast and was an assistant to the
harbormaster.
Thirty-six years ago he was appoint
ed keeper of the lighthouse, and he
held that position through all changes
of governments in the islands. His
home was on the little sand spit where
the lighthouse was built, and there his
children were born. He was intensely
attached to this, and when the recent
change in the location of the lighthouse
necessitated the removal of the house
in which he had lived so long, although
the removal was only a short distance
to the new sand island created by har-
Dor dredging. it broke old associations
and in the opinion of many was the
beginning and contributory cause of
the illness which carried him off.
Though his children were born on
the little lighthouse island and lived
there many years, few years ago he
established a home on Artesian street
where the family resided, though Will
liams and his sons still remained in
the old home. When he became i'll
about ten days ago, he was taken to
the Artesian street home, and 1t was
there he died. At this bedside when he
passed away at o'clock yesterday
morning were his wife and seven of his
living children, Sarah, Eliza, Maria,
William, Solomon, Ernest and Robert.
The other three, Henry, Fred and
Zenas are in California and have been
notified by cable.
William Williams was member of
the George w. De Long Post of the
Grand Army of the Republic and his
funeral will be conducted by that or
ganization, under the direction of P.
w. Rider, the commander of the post.
The funeral viii be at 3 o'clock this
afternoon from the family residence on
Artesian street.
The flag at the pilot house and flags
on the shipping throughout the harbor
were at half mast yesterday as a mark
of respect for one who had never fail
ed in his duty as keeper of a light
that has guided thousands of craft
safely into harbor.
