The Express COMPANIES

Dear Mr.. Watson:-Enclosed I herewith hand
you a clipping from today's issue of the Macon
Telegraph, showing facts about the enor-
profits of leading American Express Com
panies;-and, therefore, what great saving to
the people parcels post system would bring to
them knowing the great interest you have taken
in this important public question, and thinking
that these suggestions, which may not fall under
your eye might be appreciated, I enclosing
same to you
A SUBSCRIBER TO THE JEFFERsONIAN.
Butler, Georgia.
ANSWER.
In The JEFFERsoNIAN we have for several
years called attention from time to time to
the outrageous charges of the Express Com
panles. Apparently, we will never be able to
interest our Senators, Representatives and
State Legislatures in this subject.
When the rate bill was on its passage
through Congress few years ago, fight was
made to bring Express Companies, the Pull
man Car Company, and the Telegraph Com
panies under the supervision and control of
the Federal Government, just as the railroads
are; but the great Democratic leader in the
House OF Representatives the Honorable
John Sharp Williams, took bold stand for
the doWntrodden corporations, and success
fully resisted the effort to have these weak
lngs put under governmental superintend-
ence. He voted to have the railroads over

not willing to have such poor, little, insig
nlflcant concern as the Pullman Car Company
lnterfered with to any extent whatever. John
Sharp practically said that they must 90
right ahead, charging extortionate prices, and
making the fellow who has to climb into the
upper berth on ladder pay Just as much as
the chap who sleeps on the first floor. Hon
orable John Sharp Williams, and the Demo
Gratis who followed his sagacious and patri
otto lead, wouldn't listen to the suggestion
that the four great Express Companies, who
declare 3Oo per cent. dividends, should have
any supervision at all. They we're equally
patriotic and careful about keeping the tele
graphs and the telephones secure in their al
most unlimited power to tax and Cypress the
public Millions and millions of water have
been poured into the stock of the telegraph
and telephone companies; but you can't Get
the authorities anywhere to vigorously take
hold of the proposition that they should only
be allowed to charge such rates as would give

HOUDLETTE
ON CORONADO

The barketnIne Coronado, Captain
Houdlette, arrived from San Francisco
this morning For the first three days
out she was practically becalmeo,
hardly making Roadway, then striking
light winds and coming through In
sixteen days For the last couple Of
days out the baTkentine ran into hea-
Wy swells.
The COrOnados cargo consists of
a little over 1000 tons of general mer-
chandise, though large part of her
hold is filled with 800 bales of hay,
She will load here with sugar, TAX
ing $4,000 sacks to the Coast on ner
return trip.
Captain Houdlette will be welcomed
to Honolulu by very many friends.
He has been away from this city since
the laying off of the Sierra, of which
he was commander, and has been in
rather i'll health. With the lighter
work on board the Coronado he ex-
poets to regain his health complete
ly and be ready for the more strenu-
Gus work on the steamers A num-
Der of the old timers ON the front
were at the dock to greet him when
the Coronado was towed in by the
Intrepid.
The only passenger on board was
William Douthitt, connected with the
U. s. postal service and stationed in
San Francisco. He is a brother of
Attorney e. A. Douthitt, of this city,
and is making his fourth trip to Ho-
nolulu. He expects to remain here
for several weeks, having come down
for his health.

"TRIP
OF THOMAS
TRANSPORT TAKING TWELFTH
CAVALRY TO MANILA-PASSFN
GERS FOR HONOLULU.

The United States Army transport
Thomas, Captain Lyman IN command,
arrived early this morning, cooking
at the naval wharf at about $3.50 She
will remain in port till Tuesday night
at least, though it is not expected
that she will sail from here before
Wednesday morning at IL O'Clock.
The delay in sailing is caused mainly
by the fact that she will take on 1000
tons of coal while here. She will dis
charge SO tons of freight, consisting
of general supplies for the local army
posts. u ave-. .', a
Several arrivals for this city came
in by the Thomas among whom are
Captain w. H. H. Chapman, Lieut.
II. du r. Phelan, accompanied by his
wife and four children, Mrs. J. B.
White and daughter, relatives of Con-
structing .Quartermaster Captain Cast
ner and Lieut.. George c. Bowen The
latter is with the Twentieth Infantry,
stationed at Fort Shafter and has been
away vi IL Zip W Tie COdSO'
The Thomas carries through with
her the Twelfth Cavalry, the first of
a mum der of regiments which will
pass through here bound for the Phi
lippines Col. Dodd is in command.
The regimental band is on board and
gave concert this morning shortly
after the arrival of thu transport at
the Naval wharf.
Among the through passengers on
the Thomas is Captain A. ]. Dough-
eTty, accompanied by his wife and
three children. Mrs. Dougherty was
formerly Miss Along, of this city, and
the members of her family greeted
her on the vessel as soon as she ar
rived. Captain Dougherty was sta
toned as military governor at San
tiago, Cuba, till the American troops
left that island and is now bound
for Manila, to join his regiment
The Thomas reports fine weather
all the way down and made a very
fast run from San Francisco. Ac-
cording to the regular schedule she
would not be due in this port till to-
morrow morning. She brought down
two days mail.

POLLARRS MAKE
FINE OPENING

The Pollards' first appearance at the
Opera House on Saturday night was
a conspicuous success. The young &C
tors did themselves more than JUS
tice and the crowded house applaud
ed every time there was possible
chance to do so.
The Charity Ball" was an ambi-
tious piece for the newly graduated
Lilliputians to undertake, but it was
by no means above them and they
gave a really finished performance.
Eva Moore, as Anne Gruger, the he
rome surprised and delighted even
her closest friends by the charming
Interpretation of her role. She prov
ed conclusively that she is an actress
of the very highest ability and will
some day make a name in roles such
as she, plays in the Charity Ball"
Alfred Goulding as John Van Blu
rem, the kindly clergyman whose err
ing brother is prevented from wrong
ing a woman through his interven-
ton, plays the part powerfully. 1t is
difficult part for any actor to un-
dertake but, young as ne is, Alfred
Gonlding acquitted himself nobly. He
is particularly brilliant in the scene
between himself and his brother Dick
Van Buren,.
Indignation at the wicked wilful-
ness of his brother who insists on
following out course Of action which
only a villain could plan, gets the
better of him, he denounces his bro
Their wildly and a struggle ensues.
They are interrupted by the entrance
of their blind mother, played won
derfully by Lilly Bull, and then John
Van Buren, is overcome with shame
at his own loss of temper and at his
brothers baseness.
It is a touching scene when the
blind woman calls to her sons separ-
ately to kiss her goodnight and re-
calls incidents of their innocent child
hood We are led to suppose that the
brother dies and the play ends hap
PLY with wedding bells for John Van
Buren, and Anne Gruger who has Sc
cretly loved him all the time
Comedy relief in the play Is pro-
vided by a youthful love affair very
cleverly by Teddie Mcnamara and Ada
Hind. The latter is one of the sweet
est soubrettes that ever tripped on a
stage and the happy ending to the
inexitable quarrel in the last act is as
done as one could wish
to see.
The musical interpretations were
very well received. Eva Moore with
her Ma Cherie" lullaby song in the
first act made very, decided hit while
all the other numbers were encored
There is no doubt that the Pollards
incursion into the realms of the "leg1-
innate" is a success and the produe-
ton of the other plays that they ex-
pect to put on will be looked forward
to eagerly by LOCAL theater-goers. The
Charity Ball' will be played this ar
ternoon and evening and Wednesday
afternoon and evening. Checkers"
VIII be produced on Thursday night
and will be played Saturday afternoon
and evening as well.

There is no precedent IN the Eighth
