Negro Annir. Last Nisht

The police at North Birmingham were
notified of an attempted hold-up of a
negro preacher near the reservoir last
night. AS the preacher ran the high
wayman shot several times at him. The
highwayman made his escape. Two ne
rroes, Frank Byrd and James Arnold,
became engaged in difficulty over a
dog last night and each opened fire on
the other. They were scarcely 10 feet
apart but neither hit the other and
both were taken in by the police. One
used a shotgun and the other a pistol

Emmett O'Neal Is in Huntsville. instead
of in New York interviewing Theodore

Sunday he left the Morris hotel suddenly
for ST. Louis. instead of filling his en-
gagement at Oneonta. He has brought
the remains to Huntsville, where they are
to be inferred. Colonel ONeal talked with

be heard. The presence of Fred L. Black

Democratic headquarters are to be es-
tablished in Columbiana and a hot fight
will be waged with several of the strong

In the Seventh district, the republican
popuite combination is proving a failure,
as the two could never sleep In the same
bed The fact that the populists captured
the congressional convention, taking all
the offices, and have followed the same
tactics in Chiffon and other counties, has
given the old line republicans an illness
from which they seem unable to recover.
1t is reported that Congressman Burnett
now has every chance of winning by
good majority.

.SHRINERS SH0NE
LIKE SOLOM0NS
Gorgeous Band Paraded Streets
in All Its GIory-NoviCes Were
Among Those Present.
(From SUNDAY s Advertiser.l

1t was Shriner's Day, yesterday, in
Honolulu, and all the population seemed
to be aware of the fact for they turned
out in unprecedented force to witness
the famous parade and seemed even
more interested in the event than usual.
The crowd began to gather long be-
fore the time advertised for the as.
sembling of the parade at the X. of
p hall at the corner of Fort and Bere-
tania avenue, and at half-past one, half
an hour before the parade started, ev.
cry coign of vantage on Fort street
had been pre-empted and occupied.
Shortly before two O'Clock the Royal
Hawaiian Band came a-tooting down
Beretania avenue from the capitol
grounds followed by the famous Arab
Patrol. The patrol seemed to be just
as fine as ever, though some of the
members have increased wonderfully in
weight since their last public appear
ance, ana it was a toss-up whether some
of them dressed by their feet or their
opus.
The Arab Patrol is assuredly thing
of beauty and a joy forever 1t is
composed of about three score citizens
who wear uniform for parade and
dress purposes which has anything else
in the clothing line beaten off the
boards.
The color scheme is orange and pur-
pie and scarlet and, to come down to
brilliant details, the uniform consists
of a purple turban with yellow trim
mings; II purple velvet surcoat embroid-
cred artfully with gold lace and sport
ing orange sleeves; a purple waist sash
and crimson breecbes relieved by vel
low stripe down each side; scarlet hose
and shoes Of the same color.
In their hands the members OF the
patrol carried gold.pointed spears 10
which were attached golden bannerots,
tied with ribbons Of royal purple.
The patrol marched briskly aud pre-.
eiAely and the eolors flashing IN the sun

heard ito issue from the castle of the
knights, and the words uttered were,
''Let Ter CO."
Immediately Tyler Tucker applied a
match to the string of firecrackers, the
band struck up "Have You Got Girl
at Home Like Mary" and the Arab
Patrol got into stride.
The procession was headed by corps
of small boys, principally. Next in line
came the mounted police, then the foot
patrolmen and then the Arab Patrol.
Berger s band followed, the good old
kapellmeister footing it as CALAMITY
as ever at the head of his musical ag-
gregation.
Potentate Bobby Breckons was next
in line, CARRIED in clothes which made
him look like perambulating rainbow,
C. G. Bartlett, also arrayed like the
lilies of the valley, was not far behind
t'Breck,'' and behind him were two Or
three shaggy individuals who need
never feel the pinch of poverty if the
wool market holds up. The crowd josh.
ed the white-bearded alchemists to
their heart IS content.
Next in line were the rank and file
of the shriners, nice sleek-looking,
tuxedoed business men, each carrying a
tiny Japanese umbrella and an air
which indicated that the success of the
parade depended on him. In this sec
ton were noticed number of country
cousins who evidently found that the
exigencies of business called them to
town just about now.
The victims were next in line. Auwe!
Auwel
United States Commissioner George
Davis was given place of honor. He
was manacled and confined in wooden
cage, drawn by a tired-looking mule,
and the exhibit being driven by Judge
II. E. Cooper of the circuit court. By

cial relations with America; her people
are the chief traders of China; the Can
tonese are everywhere through the en-
pire active in both commercial and Off.
cial life, and the warmth of the recep.
tion at Canton has brought to fitting
close what is perhaps as successful a
trip as any similar delegation has ever
made.
Old Customs Demolished.
At Canton distinct honor was shown
the Americans by the presence, for the
first time in the long history Of the
province, of the foremost ladies of the
city at reception given by Admiral
and Lady Lii. It is said that when the
plans for the banquet there were under
way, the question of seating caused
some discussion, as the American ladies
were invited and the Chinese men
thought best to be seated by themselves.
This idea was overruled and the guests
were mingled with their hosts. The
American ladies were found to be so
charming and gracious that the Chinese
ladies were brought out to the recep'
tion--an unheard of thing and the only
time on our trip. To be sure, they met
only the ladies of our party, but even
that made history.
Now for the return visit, to make
more history.

INFANT PARALYSIS
IN IOWA CHICKENS

RED OAK, Iowa, November s.-The
Iowa state board of health has new
factor to deal with in the fight which
it has been waging upon the spread
throughout the state of infantile paral-
ysis. This latest complication comes
in the shape of reports from several
counties to the effect that chickens are
being destroyed in great Numbers by a
disease which, If 1t Is not infantile
paralysis, is much like it,
One of the most severe attacks OF
the plague upon the chickens is report

with worthy veterans of the order, the

After the victims came more small
boys, the war correspondents, the pho.
tographers and the camp followers.
The procession, which was brief but
impressive, came down Fort street from
Beretania avenue, and at King street
turned Waikiliward and proceeded
thence to Union Square, where the
Arab patrol performed remarkable
series OF evolutions In this connection
it may be mentioned that six of the
members of the patrol had only had four
days drill. Considering this, the splen.
did showing made by, the patrol must
be accorded to be q fresh feather in

energy, enthusiasm and painstaling
perseverance the existence Of the patrol
is due.
The parade was witnessed by an i'm.

otherwise applauded enthusiastically.
The Shriners' Parade has grown to
point where 1t may be classed as one
of the annual show features of Hawaii.

From the outset Canton has been con.
sidered the one doubtful point on our
itinerary. 1t is from Canton g four dis.
tricts that the Chinese have immigrated
to America, and it is therefore in Can.
ton that the soreness exists as a result
of the Interpretation of the treaty re-
garding the exclusion of Chinese labor
ers. Yet our reception at that city is
perhaps the most brilliant of all. Illu.
limitations, fireworks, banquets, gifts,
bands-all the elements of welcome
which have made our trip through China
so remarkable-were all in evidence to
the fullest extent.
The Immigration Question.
Yet here, for the first time, we were
met with the question of immigration,
and it was necessary to reply to it.
This reply was made by Capt. Robert
Dollar, who spoke frankly, as a CONNER
cial man, and recited facts as they are
known, without mincing words to favor
either side of the argument. These dis.
cussions were carried on with the great
est friendliness, and the welcome and
