THIRTY LUCKY
PEDAGOGUES
CONTINUED rom Page One,

one of the six spoke in favor of hav-
ing nothing to do with a petition pre-
scented for their signatures and official
action by the Rev. f. w. Thwine
which requested the Board of License
Commissioners to refuse to renew the
license of the Orpheum saloon. The
petition stated that the saloon was
within one hundred and twenty feet
of the gate of the Chinese school on
Fort street and was so located that
many of the pupils of the High School
had to pass it daily. The signers of
the petition are E. w. Thwing, pastor
of the Fort street church; A. NJ Mer-
rill,. principal of the Fort street Sun
day. school; P. c. Jones, president of
the Hawaiian Board; w. Brewster
Oleson, secretary of the Hawaiian
Board; F. w Damon, superintendent
of the Chinese Mission, and w. w.
Hall, vice president of the Hawaiian
Board.
What pupils have to go past that
saloon?' asked Judge Perry.
The High School pupils have to
pass it, some of Them" answered Mr..
Rabbit.
''Well, don't they have to pass other
saloons all over the city?'' asked the
Judge again.
Il pass that saloon four times every
day myself" said ]. ]. Garden, land
I never saw anything wrong about the
place"
Il think myself hiatt we. as one
branch of the government, ought not
to go asking another branch to do
anything" said Mr.. Rabbit Mr.
I'll 1,
refused to sign it, but said 1 would
bring it up"
II think myself that we, as one
anything to do with it, said w. Will
hanson; Tets keep out of trouble as
long as we can, anyway"
IF we take any action on this we
are opening the way for plenty more
of this kind of thing" agreed Mr..
Rabbit. us it the sense of the board
that we take no action?"
It was the sense of the board and
the petition was laid aside.
TEACHER FOR GOVERNMENT
WARDS.
1t was agreed after discussion that
the superintendent be empowered to
inform the president of the Board of
Health that a teacher would be pro-
vided as soon as procurable for the
new school for the children recently
brought from Molokai and that school
furniture would be provided.
sThe superintendent reported that he
would leave for Maui this morning to
look into number of school matters
on that island, returning on Monday
next.

NEW AMERICAN HAWAIIAN
SCHEDULE.

The latest arrangement Of the Pacific
feet Of the Hawaiian steam
ship Company consisting Of eight yes
sells, the Alaskan. Arizonan, Texan, Co
lumbar. Mexican. Nevadan and Ne
braskan, is the placing Of two of the
large boats. probably the ALASKAN and
the Arizonan, on a triangular run be-
tween Honolulu, San Francisco and
Seattle. Four of the big boats will take
another triangle between Honolulu,
Salina Cruz and san Francisco, While
the two smaller boats. the Nevadan
and NebTaskan, will ply between S1-
lima cruz. san Diego, San Francisco
and Seattle, keeping on the coast, back
and forth. This will not interfere with
the two-weekly service between San
Francisco and Honolulu. Needless to
add, the Despatch will continue to
hustle in these waters between Homo
lulu and the sugar ports Of Kauai

THE LATEST NATURE FAKER.

South Norwalk, Conn, advices state
that nature students down that way,
who have been wondering what effect
a prOtracted diet of CLAIMS would have
on hens, received additional cause for
thought recently when a search of
several nests revealed clam fritters
in place of the expected eggs. Close
observers also revealed the fact that
the cackIe always precedes the laying
of fritter; whereas under the old ar
rangement of things no selfrespecting
hen would think of Boosting until she
had delivered the goods.
The International Dredging Co. is
directly to blame for putting the hen
in the nature taking class. The pow
erfui suction pipe of the company at
work in the upper harbor is hurting
mud and CLAIMS back on the mainland.
The farmers have been marketing the
CLAIMS, and the chickens open every
meal with a clam course.
So accustomed have they become to
the diet that natural laws are ignored
and chickens are taking to the water
like ducks. It is no uncommon sight
to see a hen opening a clam with it's
beak, although lazy hens sit on the
shells until they break. Most of the
spring chickens have little necks.

New Orleans Picayune.l

Bishop Davis Sessums, of the diocese
of Louisiana, who has been on leave OF
absence since January last on account OF
ill-health, is now i'm Louisville, and 1t is
probable that he will take trip abroad.
By advice of his physicians the Bishop
will utilize the remaining months OF his
furlough by visiting the continent OF
Europe and making an extended journey
through Great Brain. Since last Deem
Der Bishop Sessums has been in indifier-
ent health, and although his condition
has greatly improved of late, 1t is deemed
advisable that he should not resume his
pastoral duties too soon.
He spent the winter and spring and a
part OF the summer at Biloxi, Miss, and
two weeks ago went to Louisville, where
he is resting among relatives and friends,
who are making his stay as pleasing as
possible.
Mrs. Sessums, who is in this city for
the present, said last evening that there
was nothing of a definite nature about
the Bishops plans, but in few days his
itinerary will be arranged.
During the absence of the spiritual
head of the Episcopal Church in Louis
lana the affairs of the diocese will be
conducted by the Standing Committee,
of which Very Rev. Chas. l.. Wells, Dean
of Christ Church Cathedral, is President,
and which is composed of Revs. A. X.
Edbrooke, Of Grace Church; Beverley
Warner, of Trinity, and Dean Wells, Of
Christ Church Cathedral, and Messrs.
James Mcconnell (who is also chancellor
of the diocese), T. l.. Macon and q. Il,

This Committee meets at the call o
the President, and takes charge of al
questions relating to the government o
the diocese while the Bishop Is away

The Shreveport Journal has the follow
ing to say regarding the opinion of Col.
Chas. Schiller, Commissioner of Agricul-
ture, on the cotton crop of louisiana:
Colonel Schuler is not satisfied with
the manner in which many farmers OF
the State are treating the recommenda-
tons regarding the boil weevil fight. He
has been urging the planters to destroy
the cotton stalks as a means Of killing
the weevils, but the suggestion, he says,
is not being generally adopted. In Ra-
pides and Avoyelles Parishes, through
which he travelled recently, most of the
cotton has been picked, he says, and the
gins are idle, but the stalks are not be-
ing destroyed. The is helping the boil
weevils, causing millions of them to be
added to the supply. The weevils Matched
at this period are more hearty, In his
opinion, than those coming into existance
during the summer, and, unless there
is an extra cold freeze the approaching
winter Colonel Schiller predicts that
many planters will be ruined. He thinks
the worst of all the seasons will he ex-
perienced next year unless the planters
Immediately take advantage of the sug-
gestions and do away with the pests nv
removing the stalks. Colonel Schuler
says the farmers seem Indifferent and
don't act like they want to follow the
advice furnished them in an effort to aid
them.
"Diversifcation is urged by Colonel
Schiller, but he doesn't mean by this
that cotton growing should I've aban-
doned; simply that the planting of some
OF the acreage in products that can be
used on the farm will be beneficial
Cotton, he declared, can be grown in
spite of the boil weevil. In portions6f
the State, where the methods suggested
have been carried out, this has been
shown beyond any doubt and in all the
boil weevll territory he thinks the same
can he had if the farmers will
only come to an agreement"

Mortgage Tax Repeal.

The following address from the
Natchitoches Enterprise to the
voters of that parish is timely
and sensible, and is reproduced
for the advice aud guidance of
our people, who cannot over-esti-
mate the advantage to be realized
to us of this section especially by
the repeal of the mortgage tax.
To the Voters of the Parish OF Natchi-
toches:
In November next the people of Louis
lana will vote on a constitutional amend
ment exempting real estate mortgage
from taxation and if this is carried 81,
500, 900 of fresh outside capital will be
poured in the State. The people of
Louisiana have used a suicidal policy by
placing tax on mortgages, thinking
perhaps it would enrich the State. 1t
did not Capital staid away and who
pays the taxes? The man who borrows.
He pays interest on the mortgage on his
land and pays again higher price to
the man who loans him the money, for
he in turn has to pay taxes on the mort
gage This is paying interest twice on
the same property. This is SO plain that
child can understand it. Let us get
rid of this antiquated and expensive
burden. Most of the other States ex-
empt mortgage loans from taxes. So let
solid vote be cast for the amendment,
and the benefits will show up immedi-
ately. Take New Orleans, the money
center of the State. The deposits of all
her banks amount to somewhere about
$40, 900, 900. Take away these restrlc-
tons upon the investment of outside
capital, and these deposits in the opin-
ion of competent bankers would not
amount to half million dollars. New
Orleans having so much more money
would loan it to the country banks, they
i'll turn could accommodate more people
also at cheaper rates. If you want pros
perity restored, vote for the amendment

wish is expressed for them to play
longer when engaged on some fa-

this imperfection is now offered
in the Amberol record, recently
invented. These records can be
ttsed in the Edison monograph by
aid of little attachments, and
which enables the machine to

better. The Amberol records aud

cona.binags Cases set for Trial.

Tallulah, La, Oct. IA. W. Kelley,
who killed Ewell Simms on Bayou Macon,
near Delhi, La, on November 8, 1907,
against whom the last Grand Jury found
an indictment for manslaughter, was re-
leased to-day on 81 900 bond. He has
been incarcerated in the Madison Parish
Jail since day of the killing. Kelley and
Simms are said to have quarreled over
the matter of high license, which was at
that time topic of discussion through
out the parish, and the quarrel was the
immediate cause of the shooting, but bad
blood is said to have existed between the
two men for some tinse. Both were sa-
loon men and ran rival establishments
on the east bank OF the Bayou Macon,
which stream separates Madison and
Richland Parishes. The latter is a dry
parish, and rivalry for control OF the bu-
siness was the real cause of the trouble,
it is said. Kelley's trial will not come
up until the spring term of court.
Five alleged violators of the Hunsicker
concubinage law, against whom true bills
were returned by the Grand Jury, were
arraigned before the Court this morning
and pleaded not guilty. There were four
white men and one negro woman, all
from Delta Point. Their trials are set
for Monday and Tuesday, October 10Th
and 10th, and all were released under
heavy bond. The other five against
whom indictments were returned are said
to have taken ''leg ball. and are now
fugitives from justice in Mississippi.
