The following is taken from the address
of Dr. George Waverly Briggs, the cele-
brated evangelist
Mamma, Is my papa a drunkard? And
won't I ever get my rifle?"
"Oht My babyl'-and for a moment the
mother sat dumb, with white and fright
ened face. Then, with a rush of tears
Baby! Babyi What on earth do you
mean? Who has been saying such things
to your
1T was Gerald (his little neghbor)
"Ie showed me his shotgun It's just a
single-barrel, and I told him papa was
going to get me a Marlin rifle. You know
papa promised me one the other night.
And just awhile ago Gerald was passing
by the gate, and he says: Hello, kid; got
that rife? And I says, No, papa hasn't
got it for me yet And he says, No. and
he never will get it. My papa says your
papa is just common drunkard and can't
give you nothing Mamma is Gerald tell
ing the truth about my papa? And won't
get my rif1e?"
It was the loss of the rifle that dark
ened the sky Of the unthinking child. The
mother faced in dumb misery an infinitely
greater tragedy.
Not one word Of the above is fiction.
1t IL all the hideous truth! And yet not
10 miles from that mans home is the
James Sanatorium. for the cure of such
as he. Three weeks treatment would
send him back to his home a new man,
and bring light from heaven once more
to all its darkened windows

.LADY'S GRIPS ARE
SEARCHED BY POLICE
Negro Was Carrying Them to
Destination
PIZITZ WAS INDIGNANT
Unknown Man Pointed Out Negro to
officer Saying the Negro
Was PeddIing Liquor
In Grips.

Good officers, doing their duty under
the requirements Of the "Fullerlicker''
act, last night, at the corner of Second
avenue and Nineteenth street, stopped an
innocent negro, who was carrying two
grips for a young lady. and searched the
grips for intoxicants but found none.
The officers who did the searching were
three of the best men in the police depart
ment, Hambright, Garner and Propst. Of
ficer Hambright was at the corner of Sec
ond avenue and Twentieth street when
the negro passed with the grips Just
after the negro walked by a man ap-
preached Hambright and pointing out the
negro said: THAT negro is peddling whis-
ky" Hambright followed the negro and
caught up with him at the Pizitz corner
of Second avenue and Nineteenth street.
Officers Garner and Propst who happened
to be on opposite corners of the street,
Joined him.
It was a frightened negro whom Ham
bright held while Garner and Propst
opened the grip and suitcase In his ig-
norance the negro was afraid of the Of
ficers of the law and stood shaking, and
had 1t not been for Hambright's hold upon
him he would probably have made dash
for liberty.
In the grips were found an indescribable
array of ladies' outfttings, and the near
est thing to booze which the officers
discovered as they tossed the dainty fem
mime things about in the grip, was the
faint odor of a delicate extract. After
a thorough search the negro was allowed
to go ON his way with the contents Of the
grips in a badly rumpled condition. He
explained that young lady had hired
him to take the grips for her, and that
when the officers took hold of him he
jest materially wuz skeered to death and
wanted to git away"
There were many expressions of indig-
nation when the affair became noised
about. The officers stated that they were
compelled to 90 it under the "Fullerlick-
er" act; that the man was pointed out TO
them as one who was selling whisky;
that in doing their sworn duty they were
forced to hold the negro and search the
grips under the "Fullerlicker" act; that
cit was not-for them to criticise the en-
forcement of the law but to carry out
full orders and make arrests wherever
there were complaints"
Louis Pizitz, in front of whose store the
incident occurred denounced strenuously
any law which allowed of such a thing.
H. said:
Lone of the many outrages being perpe-
trated by the police under the Fuller law
occurred at my store tonight. negro
man with two large valises was arrested
by three officers on suspicion of selling
whisky. The officers broke open the va
Uses, throwing the contents upon the
street finding nothing. Not satisfied with
this they insisted on searching the nego.
This is an outrage and IL such things are
permitted in America, the land of the
free it looks very much like despotism

HIGDON HAS MEN

Sheriff Higdon had the blind tigers and
other would-be violators of the prohibit

deputies scattered throughout the county
he had every suspected place spotted dur

only eight arrests for violations of the
Fuller bill and other laws pertaining to
the prohibition of the sale of liquor were
made.

absolute strangers in the city were sent

chases of liquor in order that cases might

were they successful.
Colonel Higdon states his belief that the
town is about as dry as it can be, or
rather 1t is not as dry as it is free of
'leaks."
"Of course. liquor is being Sold" said
Colonel Higdon, "and nobody knows just
how much is being sold but it is safe
bet that unless a man is well known by
the person from whom he intends to buy
whisky now, he Is very likely to be dis
appointed in his search for the liquid re-
freshment."

RUNAWAY ALMOST
INJURIES CHILDREN
LEAL AVERTS AN ACCIDENT
Youthful Escorts at Funeral of
Mother Judith Were Near
Deaths Door.
LEAL AVERTS AN ACCIDENT

The children who last Friday walk
ed in the funeral eortege of Mother
Superior Judith have never known how
close they3 were to death themselves,
while escorting the remains of the be-
loved superior to her last resting
place. A horse hitched to one of Mar
shall s delivery wagons broke the rope
that tied him to King street post
and started up the main thoroughfare
at a mad gallop.
Efforts TO stop him at the corner of
King and Fort streets proved fruitless,
and he continued on. The funeral was
then defIing from Richards into King,
going Waikiki to the Catholic GENE
terry, and just as the runaway passed
Alakea street, the group of little girls
entered King street directly in the way
of the mad horse.
Chief Joseph Leal was standing on
the corner of Alakea and King, and IT
is due to him that the children were
saved from serious and perhaps fatal
injury. The horse was without
bride, and Leal jumped for the rope
that was trailing from around his neck
and managed to get it. The horse was
going at furious clip and dragged the
chief nearly to the funeral procession
before he stopped. Leal was slightly
bruised, but was lucky to escape as
easy as he did.

Great Parade Is Held in Havana
to Protest Against Act
of Spain.
BOYCOTT ON SPANISH GOODS
Feeling Runs Higher Than at Any
Time Since Close of War
for Liberty.
(By Associated Press.)

HAVANA, October 1s.-The people
of this city are wrought up to fever
heat over the execution of Francisco
Ferrer. The unrest which has seized the
old world as the result of Spain's ac-
ton in putting to death the distin-
guished educator has spread to the new.
The execution is the topic of converse
ton everywhere.
Yesterday a great procession was
held to voice the protest of the Cuban
people against the course which Spain
took in Furnishing the man charged
with being implicated in the recent
revolutionary movement. Thousands of
people marched in the parade
One of the direct result of the execn-
ton has been a Cuban boycott against
all Spanish goods. At great mass
meeting, held yesterday, a vote was
passed to boycott Spain in protest
against the manner in which Ferrer
came to his death, and there is every
indication that the boycott will be ear
ried out Not since Cuba achieved her
independence has there been so much
popular feeling shown against Spain as
since the word reached here that Ferrer
had been arrested, tried, convicted and
executed on charge of participating
| in revolutionary movement.

DR.. HARR|SS ON
WAY To COLONIES
viii Complete Arrangements for
Musical Tour of the
British Empire.
QUARTER THOUSAND SINGERS
Ambitious Plan to Give Colonies
Chance to Hear EngIand's
Best Musicians.
QUARTER THOUSAND SINGERS

Dr. Charles Harriss, Canada S most
noted impresario, who is a through
passenger on the Aorangi, en- route to
the Colonies, will pass through here
again in 1911 with two hundred and
fifty choristers who are to sing in the
British colonies and appear in all the
principal countries of the British EN-
pire on a trip which will girdle the
globe.
The undertaking is one of the great
est of the kind. but Doctor Harriss
Is said to be equal to the occasion.
While IN Australia he will complete
arrangements for the tour. The idea
of the tour is musical reciprocity
within the empire according to Doctor
Harriss' summing up of the PROPOSE
ton. His idea is to effect mutual
exchange between the component parts
of the British Empire, in all branches
and departments of musical activity,
exchange of ideas, mutual extension
of acquaintance with the music of the
whole empire, and strengthening of
| the ties, both racial and commercial
| that help to bind the empire together.
| Doctor Harriss has made sure of the
generous sympathy and support of the
| ha o1 Il 4
| of the Old Country. From His Majesty
King Edward down he has been af-
| forded ample material proof of the
stability and genuine character of that
| sympathy. Cape Colony has received
| the project with open arms. The essence
| of Doctor Harriss scheme has beer
the formation of choir made up oil
the leading choristers from all parts OF
| Yorkshire, who will tour Canada, Aus
tralia and Cape Colony, giving con
certs everywhere they go. These
choristers viii include men ant
| women of every station in life, more
particularly those engaged in trade
| and commerce, for it is from these
classes that the greatest choral so
| cieties of England are drawn.
For the past twenty-seven years Doc
| tor Harriss has been connected with
the musical life of Canada. He put
forth the proposition of cycles of fes
| rivals of British music throughout
| Canada, which he accomplished in 1902
bringing out Sir Alexander Mackenzie
who conducted locally-trained choirs
| from Halifax to Vancouver.
This new enterprise will entail an
enormous expense, against which halt
a million dollars is already in sight.
| Doctor Harriss had talk with "
D. Adams on the matter, although it Is
| unlikely that so great an organization
can give a concert during the stay OF
| the steamer in Honolulu.

Their Final Returns at

Plan Now Is to Purchase the
Property of the Honolulu
Library Association.

The anticlimax of the Y. NJ. c. A.
building fund campaign will occur at
noon today in the headquarters on
Bishop street.
Final reports will be received from
the committees and divisions of solicit
tors and the members of the brigade
of money getters will be discharged
with thanks. This does not mean that
no more contributions will be received
after y o clock today. 1t is anticipat-
ed that gifts will come dropping along
for many weeks and perhaps even for
months. There are many in distant
lands yet to be heard from and only
few of the forty-nine absentee pos
sibilities returned by the Alameda on
Friday.
1t is hoped now to get enough money
in the fund to make the purchase and
use of the reading room corner a part
of the plan for the new building. Just
how much viii be required for this
purpose cannot be known for some time
but there is every certainty that the
library trustees will price the lot at q
reasonable figure. Their necessity for
use of the lot will end when Governor
Frear closes the negotiations for the
new Carnegie library The Governor
has had one or two interviews with the
steel master and giver of libraries and
| it is pretty well understood. now that
| the town is in due time to have one OF
the buildings and libraries so popular
on the mainland. This will be on new
site, leaving the corner available fol

of what has been apportioned for the

TALK ABOUT BOYCOTT
Is WHOLLY ABSURD
Japanese Brand Published Story
as a Pure and Simple
Fake.

In the Bulletin of Friday appeared
a story to the effect that the japanese
of Hawaii were incensed against the
management of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company for a slight given Count
Soneho Otani and were preparing to
boycott the steamers of the company.
The leading japanese of the city state
that this story was manufactured out
of the whole cloth, both as regards the
insult and boycott.
There was no insult given the dis
tinguished Buddhist, either intentional
or unintentional; there was no com
plant made against the officers of the
Mongolia; there has been no indigna-
ton expressed among the japanese of
Honolulu. and there is no intention or
occasion for any boycott. The insult,
the complaint. the meeting and the boy
colt are all imaginary.

FERRER'S DEATH is
CAUSING TROUBLE
Socialists Are Holding Public
Demonstrations in All
European Lands.
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, October 1s.-All Europe is
discussing the recent execution of
Francisco Ferrer, convicted of taking
part in the recent revolutionary move
ment in Spain and the socialists are
tanning the smouldering embers into
a blaze. Demons trations are being
held daily in the principal cities Of
Europe and considerable disquietude is
felt by the authorities.
Each day brings news of fresh dem
constructions, engineered by the social
lists, and in all parts of Europe the
socialist leaders are taking advantage
of the execution as an excuse for a
socialist propaganda. Socialists are
parading the streets of the capital
cities and are holding mass meetings.
Even the rural districts have not es-
capped and incendiary speeches are be.
ing made everywhere.
Not in years has there been such
spontaneous protest against the action
of any government as has character
lied the actions Of the people of the
principal European countries since first
the news was received that Ferrer had
been put to death.
