Happenings
Racy News From the Capitol Regard
ing Sugar Stock.
BY l.. ID. Timmons.
Honolulu, October Is.

There is a general feeling locally
that stocks have at last approached
the bottom, and that there will be
no further subsidence of the market
except in spots. Yesterday tbe 81
tuation as a whole was much better
and this morning (despite the rush
of inward and outward maiD Homo
lulu's Wall street is in the best
mood it has shown in four or five
weeks. This better feeling is not
due To any substantially based re-
vival Of interest or values, however,
but to indications that the slump in
stocks has about spent itself. But
it is well to remember even yet,
that actual conditions have not
changed and the big item of low
sugar is still ahead, as great bug
aboo as ever.
Yesterday morning the pulse OF
the city was in condition TO receive
good news and to let 60 small
boom" on the strength of it.
Nobody seemed 10 know just what
was expected, and yet the feeling
appeared to be general that some-
thing was happening outside. Some
what anxiously the cable was look
cd to as the mystic talisman of good
luck. Early in the afternoon n
message arrived from New York.
1t reported that beets had fallen
from 9s, 6 1-4d to 9s, 5 lid, raws
remaining as before. This was bad.
Then came the Associated Press
cable giving the news of the hurri-
cane in Cuba, and Honolulu's
hopes arose on Che misfortunes of
Havana. The bears had scored
one over the cable and the bulls
one. with the latter in possession
of the field at the end Of the day.
1t was conceded that the Cuban
storm offset the drop in sugar re-
ported an hour or two before.
There the matter now stands. II
the damage to the Cuban crop has
been very extensive, the sugar mar
ket will strengthen and the effect
will be immediate on the local stock
market. And if by any chance
European beets should encounter
early frost, all the difference in the
world would be made.
In the meanwhile, however, tn,
cautious prophets have not with
drawn their prediction of 800 sugal
: before the year is out.
I. As indicated above, however
| there is undoubtedly a feeling o
: improved confidence, and evei
should sugar 60 lower the chance
are that there will he considerable
trading in several stocks at highe
prices. Ii is not figured that Paia
Haiku. Wailuku nor 0lowalu vii
go any lower than now; and il is
two to one guess that Pioneer an'
Hawaiian Commercial will not g
lower but will respond readily 3
n the least encouragement within O
Q without.

the Grand Jury:
GRAND jury.
October 19, 1910.
Gentlemen of the Juries, both
Grand and Trial, you are of those
selected as good men of the electors
of this County to act part OF you as
Grand and the rest as Trial Jurors
for this October Term 1910 of the
Circuit Court, Second Judicial Cir
cult of Hawaii.
The Jury Commissioners, in Sc
lecting and listing your names,
have taken such as they believed
were men of good judgment, good
morals and possessed OF the eduoa-
tional qualifications necessary for
jurymen. ! believe the Commits
sioners in selecting you made no
mistake.
In all criminal cases, the Grand
Jury has the initiative, as no man
can be prosecuted for crime until
indicted by the Grand Jury.
The Trial Jury finally decide the
question of guilt or innocence, and
it's verdict is the final determination
of every case on the facts given in
evidence.
The Jury System is a phase OF
our benevolent self-government, cal
culated to secure justice between
men, to secure the wellbeing of So
clety, to protect the interests OF the
public as well as the rights of eacf
individual and to maintain our JUS
laws and governmental institutions
AS long as men disagree and con
troversies exist as to rights anC
duties, as long as wicked men com
NIT crime and offend against on
laws, so long must the Jury System
exist as the highest and most sacret
exponent of the power of self-gov
ernment.
1t is also with as' the most direc
exercise of this power.
You exercise the legislative powe
of self-government not directly b.
making laws but indirectly throug
men chosen by you to make laws
and you exercise the executiv
powers through men chosen by yo
to execute the law, but the judicia
powers of juries are exercised direct
,ly by yourselves.
In this, you act alone and in thl
your decisions are tinal-your pow
er supreme. The law is very jealou
of your functions and powers an
puts every. safeguard around then
to the end that no man or Office
influences you as to what vol
decisions shall be in any case.

PKILP0T SAYS HE
 CUT OUT" SHOW
His Statement Is COrrObOrated By Dr. Frisch-Card About Mayor T0ney's Action in Threatening
 to Suppress It.

To the Patrons of the Elks Theater:
 An article in this mornings Graph ic and Little Rock Gazette headlined Cant Show Says Mayor Toney, Pine , Bluffs Executive Puts Ban On Show Coming to Elks Saturday. implies that I was proposing to foist upon you an obscene and demoralizing show, but would be prevented from doing so by the interference of Mayor Toney.
 ! The facts are these: On the night the show appeared at Little Rock I 'phoned the manager of the Capital theater for his opinion of the show, and immediately upon receiving his condemnation of it had him to inform the show manager that he could not pull off the show in the Elks theater. I also wrote the manager to the same effect and to have proper receipt wired him to the same effect. I have never tolerated an immoral show at CHC IZlho CllNolCl ol tHN NlSl v ciot, nor will I ever do so. I told one of our ministers that I had promptly informed the manager Of this particu- lar show that he could not exhibit here, and just as soon as I, by per- sonal inquiry, promptly made, ascer- tained the character of the show must express my surprise that the name of Maycr Toney, and his pro posed ban, should appear at all in connection with the show. He has made no irquirT of nc concerning it, nor have we had any exchange of words of any kind whatsoever aboEt it. After allowing the indecent Sa- lome dance to be exhibited on the streets of Pine Bluff, I have not con- sidered Mayor Toney the proper per son to pass judgment upon what
 might be properly considered "im- moral,' indecent or "obscene.'
 It is also surprising that Mayor Toney has so suddenly joined the Gre form movement when he appeared so conspicuously at the head of a street carnival parade in this city some months ago, followed by an az

How It Was Cancelled:

Feb. 15, 1910. Alr. w. H. Holmes, Manager Black Crook Jr. Co.,,
 Hot Springs, Ark
 Dear Sir: l herewith confirm the phone message to Mr. Beard of the Capitol theater, canceling your date here, on Saturday, Feb 19. Judging from Mr. Boards idea of the per formanee, as stated to me over the phone, it will be impossible for me to allow this kind of performance in my theater.
 Am sorry that you have gone to the expense of your agents visit to this city and the spelling of the several stands of paper that I had put up. Suppose you have gone to no more expense than I have, as I have ad- Vertised the appearance of your com pany here, in both papers, also had your paper all put up before I knew the kind of attraction that you were putting on, as your agent told me the show was all right and that no one could take offense at anything that appeared in the performance.
 Yours very truly.

SNOW STORM
 4 JIM DANDY Street Car Company Had a Time Running Cars But
 They Moved.
WIRE TROUBLES FEW
Thermometer Takes Downward Squirt and Then Jumps
 Up Again.

The snow storm which ragged in Pine Bluff throughout a greater part of yesterday morning was not expect ed but "Tt came cut of the Gulf coast like a ghost, but when the weather bureau was ready to make the Thursday evening forecast the coming storm had developed sufi- ciently to justify the prediction of i snow.
 If the storm, which is the second of it's kind to come out of the Gulf coast within the recent past, acts normally, the weather today will be clear and quite cold, possibly reach ing the winters record of 10 degrees above zero.
 Thursday morning at o'clock the i temperature was 16 degrees above zero but at 10 o'clock it had fallen to IA degrees and at noon it had aris- en to 16 again
 : For today the outlook is for con- tinued cold weather and fair.
 The Little Rock weather bureau looks for no decided rise in the tenn perature before Saturday.
 Schools Notified.
 Wednesday afternoon the Little Rock weather bureau called the prin- cipals of the various capital city schools and notified them of the com ing cold wave, suggesting that jani- tors of the schools be told in order that arrangements might be made to care for the plumbing in the buildings and also in order that parents who were not in position to learn of the coming cold snap might prepare.
 It has been the custom of the Lit tie Rock office for some time to issue such warnings to the schools, and it has proven to be a great benefit, both i to the school property and to the property of families.
 Car Service Maintained.
 For time during the middle of the i forenoon it appeared that the Citi- zens Light and Transit Company's cars might be blockaded, but the cars were kept running, even though it was necessary in some instances to run two together to get sufficient power to drive the forward car 1 through the snow which covered the 1 tracks.
 The inspectors who are ordinarily engaged in seeing that cars maintain the regular schedules and that noth- ing is allowed to interfere with the safe and regular operation of the cars, were armed with brooms, switch bars, and all sorts of implements which were used to good effect in clearing tho switch points and curves at the busiest corners. The pace was strenuous for sev- i eral hours, but at o'clock when the snow foll slackened and gave oppor- tunity to take a long breath, it was accompaniea with sigh of relief
 
 a line had been blocked throughout the worst blizzard the city of Pine Bluff has experienced in years. It is. true that the regular sche- dulles were not maintained through out the middle of the morning, but crowds experienced but little trouble in making their accustomed trip and arriving at their places of business in time for the afternoon work. Manager F. w. Hoyler, of the Vest ern Union, says his company had lit tie wire trouble during the morning and by last night wires weer work ing in all directions. The local phone companies report little or no trouble and expected to maintain good ser vice today.

THE HOME MISSION HOUSE.

form you that I am ready to begin my work of
building the Home Mission Orphanage. The
Lord has blessed us with five acres of land to
begin with and Sister NJ. E. George tells me
that the S. S. B. has five dollars for the new
home, of which she is the assistant manager
This home will be for all objects of charity, and
it will take some of your shut-1ns We have
eight little children in one home; the mothers
voice has been hushed and her chair is vacant.
Her dying request to send the children to
the orphans home. We have several others that
are waiting. May the Lord bless you all, is my
prayer.-REV. G. N BUTLER, R. 1, Covena, Ga.
(Some time ago we made appeal for this
Home Mission House. few responded with
small amounts, which added to until it be-
came $500, which we forwarded to Mrs. George
before receiving Brother Buffers letter. Further
contributions may be sent to the S. S. B., or to
