On rather a rough looking deck,
about twelve feet or more below us,
a dense crowd was collected around
. two small squares, which they pur-
posely left open. Besides those little
squares every inch was occupied.
There wouldn't have been any more
room for even baby to sit down
f, than there was in the Black Hole of
Calcutta. In the crowd were old men,
young men and boys, all poorly
dressed, and old women, young women
, and girls, big and little. They wore
crude. vivid colors, and more than half
of them had bright handkerchiefs tied
over their heads. They scarcely took
any notice of the first class passengers

IWILEI DESERTED.

A visit to the Iwilei district was
made last night by Sheriff Iaukea to
note any possible disregard Of the or
der issued by him there on Tuesday
night. He found the section deserted,
none of the habitual frequenters of the
place being in evidence. It was re-
ported around the police station that
the inmates of the district had scat
tered to various points through the
town, many having arranged to enter
soda water shops and ice cream par
Iors through the Oriental quarters
there to ply their trade. Others are in

towards Waikiki. The police have not

DRAGGED DOWN BY DESPAIR
Hundreds OF UIneTs IN the Same
Plight.

Mrs. John H. Cole. OF 60 Arlington
street, South birmingham. Mass, was
for years a martyr to kidney trouble.
| but at last found a cure in .Doan's
Backache Kidney Rills. She writes:
st suffered greatly with periodical
headache, terrible bearing-down pains
and a whole train of minor symptoms.
My back was always weak and the
kidneys terribly disordered. I could
not rest at night and in the morning
would get up feeling i'll, tired, and dis
couraged, and without the least ambi-
ton to go about my household duties.
If I sat down I felt as though I never
wanted to get up again; I grew thin
and haggard and developed deep cir
cles beneath my eyes. My appetite
grew less and less as the days went by
until at last / did not eat enough to
keep a child alive.
During all this time I was doctor
ing and dosing myself with first one
remedy and then another until myI
stomach fairly rebelled I called in al
doctor but soon saw that he did mott
understand my case. J" eli, YOU may
believe was in despair for I had come
to that state where did not care what
happened, when a friend told me what
a fine remedy and cure for kidney dis
ease Doan's Backache Kidney Pills.
were. I bought a box and before had
taken all of it / felt much better, my
back felt stronger and I rested much
easier at night and was not troubled
with nightmares and fits OF wakeful-
ness as formerly. After that first box
was gone I bought another and still
another, each one helping me and
making me stronger and better, until
had taken twelve boxes. BY that time
not a vestige OF my old trouble re-
manned and it is the greatest pleasure
to my life to say that Doan's Backachei
Kidney Pills saved me from an early
breakdown

CALLED OPINION
Is NOT CLEAR
Registrar Merriam Puzzled by
Order of Court of
Appeals.

Registrar of Conveyances Merriam
is uncertain whether the Court of APP
1 peals decision in which he is involved
reported by cable, is a decision on the
merits of the case.
The Associated Press cable received
| by the Advertiser yesterday morning
was as follows: 1.-THE Court of Appeals
has reversed the finding of the lower
| court in the case of the Government
VS.. Merriam and has ordered the is
suance of writ
The case was based on the refusal
of Registrar Merriam to enter certain
tracts of land condemned by the Fed
U. S. District Judge Dole in part sus-
tained the Registrar denying a writ
of mandamus against him in 1906
A point raised against the Regis
trar's position was that the law of this
Territory on which he took his stand
was enacted after the Federal Govern
and the decision against the Registrar
thinks Merriam. may be on this point
alone and not involving the principle
of the law itself.
In regard to the contention of the
Federal authorities that the plan of
the condemned property was part of
the deed and to be recorded Herewith,
Merriam admitted that the plan was
made part of the judgment of condem-
nation by the court but said it did not
follow that it should be an integral
part of the deed. Merriam says that
the law requires that the courts order

audience for more than two hours while
he gave his famous lecture on Snake

known to Montgomery students to need
any comment on either him or his
work. That he came fully up to the
expectations of his auditors was testi-
fled by the rapt attention in which ne
held them from beginning to end.
In a clever Introduction by Frank
Kohn, of Montgomery. Father
Vaughan's hearers were told of the
edifying nature of the entertainment
awaiting them in the Interpretation OF
Shakespeare by this distinguished ex-
actor and lecturer.
In q style distinct, because of the
subordination or the minor elements OF
the engaging conference of his dis
course, Father Vaughan opened up the
purely artistic side of the Immortal
bard to his audience. This disclosure
made an intensely interesting study as
It presented a different phase of
Shapespeare's nature and achievements
from the usual run of lectures on the
playwright and poet.
