of the church will not commit them
selves to any special plan. However,
this will not interfere with the initia-

enee already looking to the establish
ment of q hospital or hospitals, and
this in turn means that The work Of
erecting splendid hospital in Nash
vile on Sixteenth avenue south will
go right on.
Rev. A. Il. Clement, of Nashville,
commissioner for the Galloway Memo
rial Hospital to be erected in Nashville,
has just returned from a meeting of
representatives of the North MiSsissip-
pi and the Mississippi conferences OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
together with DR.. Walter Lambuth,
general secretary of the Methodist
board of missions. Others present were
j. H. Sherard, of Sherard, Miss, chair
man of the meeting, Rev. +. Emery,
of Brandon, Miss, secretary, and Rev.
r. A. Meek, of Greenville, Miss, Rev.
A, !. Watkins, of Hattiesburg, and
Mrs. Robert SomerYjlle, of Greenyille,
she representing the Woman's Hons
Mission Society.
The meeting resulted in the adoption
of the following self-explanatory reso.

RECORD EASY TO DEFEND
A Contributor to the Chattanooga
Times Comments on Pardon
Practice OF the Governor

We have read with interest Col. Cy
Lyle's "explosion, also your able edi-
torial on the "pardon brokerage and
we desire to state that we see no great
wrong committed by Col. Lyle taking
fee in pardon case. 1t would
not be expected that this "decorated
colonel would slide down from his
three-legged stool in the "Comet y
office, and forsalle for season "BuiIt-
less Castle" where the faithful stork
doth oft repair and go to Nashville to
use his "pull' without at least expense
money. The fact is, those who are as
sailing the doughty colonel do not care
continental whether he gets $500 in
the Isenberg case or not, but they want
to create prejudice against the COVER
nor. 1t is not the nljgesty of the law
that they are making desperate efforts
to sustain, but they are reaching for
the governors scalp his job and the
pecuniary emolments thereof. The gov
ernOr has the record Of all these cases
before him and we do not think he is a
man who could be easily misled, even
by a staff officer. The builders of the
state lodged and we think very wisely
SO, the pardon power in the hands Of
the governor, and it is his to exercise.
We do not believe that this power has
ever been very greatly abused If gov.
ernors have erred in its use they have
erred upon the side of mercy.
The fact is the sovereign people be-
lieve in the liberal exercise of the par,
don power, and are always willing
with few exceptions, to sign the petl
tions to the governor, asking that he
grant certain pardons. Most civilized
people do not get any, consoling ccm
comfort in prodding poor devil when
he is down. 1t is only the naked sav
age who can find delight in the fire
brand and the scalping knife, and car
dance in hellish glee when his victim
stands at the stake writhing in the tor
lures of the damned To our mind The
inclination of governor to grant par
dous is not an element of weakness
but a resplendent virtue that marks
the greatness of the man. To show
how much the people are in sympathy
with the granting of pardonS one ha'
but to listen to the thunders of ap
plause which always makes the very
rafters ring when Boy Tailor defend,
his pardon record before an audience
and it might be added thet the big ant
tender heart of this man has made hin
an invincible giant in Tennessee.
1t was Governor Patterson's able de
fense of his pardon record that brough
forth the greatest applause in his de
bates with Senator Carmack.
The man of Galilee said, "BlesseC
are the merciful for they shall obtaiI
mercy, and the prayer Of the poet was
o Lord teach Me to feel anothers woe,
To hide the fault Isee,
What mercy ! to others ahow,
| That mercy show to me,
| -Junius.

Can't Learn In school.

When the stomach is out of order or the
bowels constipated, feeling of drowsiness
and inactivity comes over the body. The
brain won't think, and the body won't
work. If it is child who suffers in this
way, it naturally can't learn well in school,

to get the additional funds needed, and
he and DR.. Clement and the others who
are working for the big memorial hope
to have matters in shape so as to begin
work by spring. Fifteen to twenty of
the most active laymen in the church
are manifesting the keenest interest in
raising the funds.
1t is probable that the big hospital at

and strengthening their faith in Christ
and christianity; and whereas we be-
lieve the time has come for the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, South, to inaug-
urate hospital extension movement
throughout our entire connection; and
whereas efforts are now being put forth
in several different sections of our con-
nection looking to the establishment of
a chain of hospitals; therefore be it
"Resolved /, That, while we would
not interfere with the initiative steps
taken by any annual conference or
group of conferences, it is the sense of
this meeting that the several confer
ences do not commit themselves to any
special plan for establishing any hos
pital system or chain of hospitals, but
leave the matter to the action of the
next general conference
80. That we hereby recommend that
all annual conferences memorable the
general conference to formulate and
adopt working plan of hospital eXten-
sion, and to enact any legislation that
may be demed necessary for the fur
therance of this cause" "
The church already has hospitals in
Atlanta and st. Louis. Sometime
since, the work of building a $3.50, 900
hospital in Nashville, to be known as
the Galloway Memorial, started, and
this is to be pushed TO speedy realiza-
tion. Thirty thousand dollars of the
money has already been raised, and

make any impression on the court He
was heard out at length but the justices
stuck to their first ruling. They refused
even to consider whether or not DR..
Atcherley would be liable to sit up
nights with shotgun to get the Man

concern. All they had to deal with
was the reserved questions and the
appeal from the writ of habeas corpus.
Mr.. Harrison was informed, however,
that while the second part of his mo,
tion was denied, that part asking that
the case be advanced on the calendar
was granted and the court would hear
the arguments in the case as soon as
the briefs were filed. Harrison stated
that he would have his brief in by next
Tuesday. The other side was given
two days in which to file its answer,
with the promise that if it should be
impossible to get the brief ready in
that time, an extension will be granted.
Unless Attorney Harrison shall then
find it advisable to file further brief,
the case will be heard by the Supreme
Court next Friday

it by Attorney 7. NJ. Harrison.
But the paranoiac doctor is to be
given an early hearing as to the points
in his case which are still before the
court. So much was conceded by the
justices.
The justices did not declare that they
thought it dangerous to allow Doctor
Atcherley to administer drugs and
WELD his surgical instruments. They
simply refused to consider that phase
of the case at all, deciding that they
had no jurisdiction as to the custody
of the insane doctor. All they are
concerned with is the appeal from the

MRS. APAAAHU
PASSES AWAY
Retainer of Third kamehameha
Succumbs to Old
Age.

When searchers broke into the house
of Mrs. Kapaaahu in Manoa valley yes
terday morning, they found the old
Hawaiian woman lying on the floor,
dead. 1t was Wednesday that Mrs.
Kapaaahu was last seen alive, and
neighbors forced an entrance to her
house, fearing that evil might have be-
fallen her.
Mrs. Kapaaahu was "a years old, and
from all indications death resulted from
old age. There was nothing to lend
color to the violence theory. The aged
woman had evidently completed her
evening meal and Jain down on the floor
to rest, falling into the sleep from
which there is no waking.
The Sheriff was notified ana arrange
ments were made for caring for the
remains, Jarrett being assured that
there was nothing in the case that call
ed for any official activities on his
part.
Mrs. Kapaaahu, who was generally
known as Bismarck had been resi-
dent of Manoa valley for more than
sixty years. She was a retainer of the
Kamehamehas, and it was during the
reign of the third of that name that
she came into possession of the little
kuleana where she was living at the
time of her death.
Many of the quaint rites of the an
cient days, long since passed into OBJ
livion, were known to Mrs. Kapaaahu,
and with her doubtless died much an
cient Hawaiian lore. In later years
many students of Hawaiian customs
endeavored to get Mrs. Kapaaahu to
communicate some of the secrets to
them, but she looked upon them as
sacred trusts and declined to transmit
them to any one.
