GIVES UP THE FIGHT.
Co-Operative Live Stock Co., Could
Not Stand Boycott.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept 23.-The
Cooperative Live Stock Commission
company, which opened a Kansas
City office at the stock yards in
September, 1906, has given up the
fight here and in st. Joseph. The
Kansas City and st. Joseph offices
will quit business October 1.
The company was formed by
number of stock growers, with Murdo
Mckenzie of Trinidad, Colo, at it's
head. The plan was to charge 81 a
car less for live stock sold at the
yards than is charged by the ex-
change members Any profits were
to be distributed to the stockh olders.
Live stock exchange members boy
cotted the company and refused to
deal with it in buying or selling stock

HIS FINAL APPEAL.
President Roosevelt VIII Soon Begin
Preparation of His Message.

Washington, Sept. 23.-The gener-
al disposition here is to ascribe the
presidents early return to Washing
ton from Oyster Bay to his desire to
be in closer touch with men and af-
fairs than he could be at his summer
home. With the convening of con-
gress not far distant he will naturally
want to begin at an early day the
preparation of his last annual message
and he will be better situated here
for consultation with his cabinet and
visitors and with other officials than
at any other place. It is understood
this last message to congress will be
a comprehensive presentation of the
Roosevelt policies and a last appeal
for carrying into effect those not al
ready enacted into law. Recent
events show that the president is not
permitting the fact that he holds the
office to stand In the way of his in
terest in the campaign which will re-
suit in naming of his successor and it
is surmised that he desires to be at
the most convenient point for the re-
ceipt of news concerning the progress
of the contest
The White House is connected by
wire with the important news centers
and the president can be put in touch
with the latest happening in all parts
of the country. Naturally too he un-;
derstands that the representative men
from the foreign countries who will
attend the tuberculosis congress will
desire to meet the executive of the
country. There is no probability Of his
being idle between now and the as
sembling of the last session of the 61st
congress 1t is also the presidents de-
sire to be in touch with public men in
connection with the preparation OF the
revision of the tariff at the special
session of congress, already announced
to be called Immediately after March
f. next.

London, was produced in New York by
Charles Froham at the Hudson Theatre,
with Ethel Barrymore in the title role.
Viewed as drama, Lady Frederick"
albeit Maughan's vogue, is, critically
speaking, what the youngster called the
snake-nothing, with tail on. 1t is a
collection of trite situations and long
familiar characters passing before the
eye rather tamely and uneventfully, until
the last act, when the tail snaps with
agreeable vivacity. You realize that the
author has accomplished the impossible

Barrymore puts in few dashes of de

MANY CHRISTMAS
SHOPPERS OUT
Streets Full of Parcel Laden
Citizens ---Merchants Report
Rushing Trade.

Honolulu's downtown streets last
night had an appearance of Christmas
eve. Crowds spread along the shop
streets and everybody carried bundles
of Christmas gifts. The stores did a
rushing business, the messenger ser
vices We're kept on rush until late at
night and everything pointed to very
busy day today.
All the stores were open until late
last evening and viii be open tonight
until the last purchaser is satisfied.
The shop windows are attractively ar
ranged and barring rain Christmas this
year should be one of the merriest.
The crowds seemed to have plenty
of money for they bought literally.
Throughout the evening the stores were
thronged. Buying over, the purchasers
took in the moving picture shows. The
Empire with it's added attraction of a
quintet club was crowded all evening.
Many of the pictures were new and
interesting having just arrived on the
Hilonian. At one time sixty Chinese
school boys patronized the place. Over
at the new Gem quintet club was
part of the entertainment and the pic
lures were good. Both places will have
the quintet club on hand this evening
The Art was also literally patronized.
There is a likelihood that there will
be a three-day holiday, including Sun,
day, this year. Many Of the stores will
not open on Saturday, thus giving the
tired clerks an opportunity to get a
good rest before the week commences
again. The trust companies will close
and while the banks may be open at
the usual time it is said that they will
keep open only short time
Holiday business has been good this
year, better than usual and the store
keepers report that they are satisfied
with sales.

The inmates of the jail and peniten-

as the rules will permit, High Sheriff
Henry viii play the benefcent Santa
Claus to the ones under his charge.
As is his general practise, Sheriff Hen
ry has gone into his pocket to provide
the prisoners with the materials for a
Christmas dinner and has also bought
a quantity of fruit and candies for his
unfortunate wards. There will be no
work within the guarding walls and
"good will towards men, will rule dur
ing the suspension for the few hours
of the iron rules of discipline
Tomorrow morning there will be
Christmas exercises at the jail; in ad-
dition to the religious services a Christ
mas entertainment will be given by the
little boys and girls of the Susannah
Wesley Home These little Oriental
children have been busily at practise
for some weeks now in preparing for
their program under the training of
Mrs Mack, their superintendent, and
in their little hearts has been sedulous-
ly planted the policy of carrying Christ
mas cheer to those less fortunate even
than themselves. In connection with
this Christmas program touching in
cident is told to the effect that these
little Japanese and Korean children,
some of them almost babies, have de-
cided by unanimous vote that they will
carry the candy to be given them for
their Christmas to the prison to pass
the gift on to the prisoners. When it
is remembered that these children
scarcely ever receive candy and have
no prospect of having their generosity
in this case rewarded in the ten fold
fashion that would follow in the case
of most other children, their contribu
tion towards the Christmas cheer OF
the convicted ones carries weight of
Christmas sentiment along with it that
overshadows the greater gifts of many
others whose giving entails no personal
sacrifice
