Revival To Close.

Quoted by Fife and Son at the

day night. The revival has been
remarkably we'll attended and the
house is we'll filled at every
service. Up to Tuesday night

before the meeting closes.
On next Tuesday night, there
will be a good fellowship meeting
and all the new converts will be
present and sit in a body to re-
ceive the hand of fellowship in a
formal way, and to hear sermon
appropriate to the occasion. AT
this service, there will be an old
fashioned Misunderstanding and the
general public is invited to at
tend this service.

J. W. Cook Suffers Stroke Paralysis

]. w. Cook, who has con-
Quoted grocery store just south
of the Security State bank for a
number of years, suffered stroke
of paralysis Tuesday night some
time, being discovered by his
son-in-law, II. II. Sharp, at about
9 o'clock yesterday morning in a
helpless condition in room he
occupied at the rear of the store.
Mr.. Cook is IS years Of age and
has led very active mercantile
life, having been engaged in the
grocery business for 81 consecu-
tive years. He had not been
feeling we'll for several days and
during his indisposition occupied
a room at the home of his
daughter. Tuesday, however, he
felt better and decided to remain
in his own room. AT 9 o'clock
vest rday Mr.. Sharp came up to
ascertain how Mr.. Cook was feel
ing and finding the store door
locked knew at once that some
thing was wrong. He was IN
possession of a key and upon
entering found the aged gentle
man completely helpless and UNI
able to articulate, on account of
stroke of paralysis. Mr.. Cook
was at once conveyed to the Sharp
residence and medical aid has re-
stored his speech, but he still has
no use of his limbs. 1t is
thought that on account of his
advanced age the attack will
prevent his resuming business
again.

TAFT'S BARREL

The New York World says:-n
William TAFT is inaugurated next
March it will be as the result of the
most expensive campaign ever waged
for u Presidential candidate. Pra"-
tiCaIly every cent of the money spent
comes out of the pocket of "A bewhis-
kered citizen of Cincinnati who looks
like Methodist deacon, and Is in
fact, "dcadgamc sport" Charles
p, Taft, owner of the Cincinnati
Times-Star and half-brothcr of Will
lam II.
The expenses of the Taft cam
paign reached on Dee. last the IL
nit established by Mark Hanna in
1896 100000. Hanna broke the
record when he started in to spend
money to nominate and elect McHin-
ley. According to Hanna's own adj
missions in private the entire
amount of his expenditure from the
day he started in to boom Mckinley
to the date of the Presidential cleo
ton, was 100000. In the case of
Taft this limit was reached before
single delegate had been elected out
side of Alaska.
Since that date, three months ago,
an additional quarter of million
( hqs been spent. The total cxpeudi-
ture To date Is 100000, and the
monthly expense is increasing in
geometrical ratio. Each month sees,
not alone the expense of the month
! before, but new ways of spending.
/ The Eruption of Frank II. Hitch
cock and his large and expensive
STAFF into the Taft boom, for in
. stance, boosted the expenditure
away beyond what is was a month
before.
/ II you listen to the anti-Taft sena-
! tors you will find this $4,000 esti-
mate laughed at as utterly made
! Quate. It is, however, based on ad-
missions made in private by Taft
! leaders.

passage by the House. and Hawaii
owes him a debt Of appreciation for
his good work.
The success Of the campaign has
been made possible by the careful and
persistent focusing Of all the favor.
able influences that have been set in
motion.
The work OF the Honolulu Chamber
Aof Commerce in securing endorsement
pf the project by commercial bodies
dp the mainland. and in making the
channel borings. has been of very
great assistance to me. and | wish ia
thank them in this Public way for that
help.
The President has q. course been
uniformly favorable to the project
throughout. officials in the Nay Dc.
partmcnt have been very friendly and
Admiral Dewey and others have given
us much help. The fact remains how.
ever that for some reason the Nary
Department has not officially trans.
mitted to Congress any estimates
whatever for this work, save for the
single item Of the dry dock We
have therefore had to persuade Con.
gress to do what II has never done at
any other time or place, viz, to Gre
ate new naval base without official
estimate from The department cover.
ing the various requirements.
The main credit tor THIS important
legislation belongs properly to Ha.
wallis good friends in Congress who
alone made success possible. AS MI.
Tawney pointed out, Congress Is prac
ucally undertaking this work on its
own initiative.
The good work Of the Congressman
who visited Hawaii last summer has
been very apparent in the Pearl TIarI
Dor campaign. | hope that similar
invitation may be extended to the
Naval Committee of the House for
this summer Now that beginning
has been made, It is important that
we obtain future appropriations as
rapidly as possible.
II is noteworthy fact that we arc
securing from Congress In this one
bill, large sum than was appropriate
ed for the Puget Sound navy yard dur
Ing the first nine years of its con
struCtiOn.
