Mrs. . A. Kelly presided. Among other things Miss Rapp stated that from June, 1904, to June 1905, the number of Immigrants to the United States numbered 1,027,000, and of that number but 7 per cent came from Germany. The greatest propor. largest number came from Italy, ———— GRAY HAIR NOT WANTED. “Silver Threads Among the Gold” Not Popular in Real Life. A big crowd gathered In front of the ——drug store yesterday, attracted by the singing of a street musiclan with a remarkably sweet voice. Shé sang the old song, “Silver Threads Among the Gold,” with such real charm that at {its conclusion nickels, dimes and quarters fairly rained down upon her. As he chipped in a quarter, Mr. ——, of the —— —— Drug Co., remarked to the reporter: “Gray hair is all well in the song, but it’s different when your own h;h: becoymea gra{i ml' faded. “You would simply be asto: ¥ou Knew how many people. there aas in this town who woufd be almost en- tirely gray if it were not for modern methods of restoring gray hair to its original life and color.

This testimony has been closed and an order made that ar- gument proceed Friday morning. At the conclusion of argument Judge Coffey will write his opinion, and in it he must deal withi a question of the su- pernatural as weird as ever crept into the records of a court of justice. This ques- tion will deal with the effect upon the mind of Mrs, Ellinghouse of a tale told to her by the proponents of her will as she lay on her deathbed. It was to the effect that the grave wherein lay the body of her beloved son, Alfred, had yawned and that his spirit had stepped forth into the night to counsel with those that most cared for her and to send to her through them a message gulding her in the disposition of her estate. The wife of Oscar Ellinghouse was on the stand when the facts as stated were revealed. Before she was called as a wit- ness, however, Attorney Samuel M. Shortridge, representing the contestants, a son and a daughter of the testatrix, Edwin Ellinghouse and Mrs, Mary G. | Stone, had told of the strange manner In which Mrs. Ellinghouse, then suffering | from senility as testified by her physi- | cian, received the news of the death of her son. Of her four children he was her favorite and as the welght of her years bore more heavily upon her he was the strong staff that supported her and guided her to the reaim of good cheer. So when one day she was told that her son had closed behind him the mysteri- ous door of death she was frenzied with grief for a time, and later came to be- tieve that her son was not dead, but that she was the victim of a hideous-joke per- petrated to wring her heart. | HEARS SON’S FOOTSTEPS. One night as her nurse sat beside her bed she was startled by the volce of Mrs. Ellinghouse crying out: “My son Alfred is not dead; I hear his footsteps on the stairway; that is he coming.” It was a long time before the tremb- ling woman could be calmed and she re- tained the belief that her son was yet | alive up to a short time before her death. How she was finally convinced that he had passed from this world is bes: told in the testimony of Mrs. Oscar Hiling- house in answer to questions propounded | by Attorney Shortridge. “Did not you and your husband carry a message to Mrs. Ellinghouse that you had gone to a medium; that the spirit of Aflx‘ed had appeared before you; that he wes happy and wished his mother to know that with him all was well.” | ¥For a moment Mrs. Eliinghouse was si- lent and then she said: es; we did bear a message to Mrs. | Ellinghouse. She was worried about her son asd we wished to relieve ber mind. | All 1 told her though was that Mme. Young, the medium, hud said that Albert di1 not want her to d.spose of some bronzes she had. 1 said nothing about other property.” | “ls it not a fact,” said Attorney Short- ridge, shaking his head to more firmly | implant the tmport of his question In the mind of the witness and also in that of the court, “‘that you are now consultng mediums, endeavoring to receive intorma- tion irom souis that have gone Leyond as to what success you will have in inis lLitigation?” Judge Coffey sat up straight with a start. If any one imagined that his judicial mind was to be subject to in- tangible influences over which he had no control he wanted to know it. But the witness denied that she was seek- ing on high for judiofal favors and then Judge Coifey settled back, re- |lieved that he was to be left to his | own resources, his judgment free of 1u- fluences that reign In the occult world. GETS MESSAGE FROM DEAD, Mrs. Mary G. Stone followed Mrs., Eliinghouse on the stand. clate to the court,” sald Attorney Shortridge, “she fact of the convey- ance to Mrs. Ellinghouse by her son Oscar,.the proponent of this will, of a | message purporting to come from the spirit of her dead son Alfred?” “My mother was Ill in bed in her apartments at the Repelier,” answered Mrs. Stone. “Quite late in the even- ing there was a knock at the door and Oscar respgnded, stepping out Into th hall. It was his wife's mother, Mrs. Schmitt, who professes to be a medium, that had come to the apartment. She did not enter the room, for what rea- son I do not know. In a few minutes Oscar returned into the room and, go- ing up to the bed, he told my mother that another message had come from Oscar. Alfred, he sald, when he ap- peared to the medium was sitting upon fleece-lined steps of marble and perfectly happy. He wanted his mother, however, to know that her property affairs were giving him some concern and he did not want her to give any of the property she had nher- ited at his death to any one that had not given her the fullness of love.” GOES TO LIVE WITH OSCAR. | | | This was the end of this testimony. “But,” sald Attorney Shortridge, “on September 1, after these purported messages from the dead had convinced Mrs. Eilinghouse that Alfred had pre- ceded her to the grave, she was moved from her apartments at the Repelier and went to live with her son Oscar. On September 4 sShe conveyed her money or deposit in the Hibernja Bank to Oscar, beiween that time and the 15th of the month she gave him her stock in the Continental Building and Loan Association ani finally her stock in the Spring Vailley Water Company. Then she transferred to him all of her rights as helir to the estate of her son Alfred, and finally, as a last precau- tion, was induced to give Oscar a will, disinheriting her other son and her \daugh!er and leaving all to the son that had taken her, a dying woman, to his home.” g On Friday Attorney Shortridge opens his argument for the contestants. “As to this testimony savoring of the mys- terious and the occul?

Solos there are on the programme,- but- the quartets are their chief beauty. No-one interested in quartet singing can afford to | miss these singers. They sing with eon- | summate sympathy, the ensemble being of the miraculous sort. “Flord's Holk: day,” a cycle of old English ‘melcdte: was the chief number on the programme, its quaint gayety and humor throughout most admirably exploited. Thé applause following was ‘“rapturous.” - Mr. Mills is a host in himself. "He is-the | Lawrance d'Orsay of*the concert stage— when he {s not the Santley. He was at his singing best in the splendidly sung *0, Ruddier than the Cherry,” at his humorous apex in the “Sound Argument.” Miss Kirkwood contributed a - colorless “Caro Nome,” that was forgiven for her afterward charming bailad singing; Miss wonsdale, a fine contralto, was also ef- fective in ballad: and Mr. Wilde with a | good “Grafl Song” was also at his best in ballad. Ballad is their best, and |they are here unequaled. The com- jcert, not lLeavily attended, was most | heartily applauded. It was altogether quaint, refreshing and delightful.

A HONOLULU PROTEST Honolulu Daily Advertiser. The war on patent medicines started by journals which do not get much medical advertising has been taken up by health boards and various govern- ments. The indications are that it will merely result in action by health boards against deleterious compounds. After all, there is nothing per se against the proprietary remedy. * ® * As for an actual specific why should it not appear in patented form? ¢ * ¢ I3 it any less valuable because of that? There is on sale in this city a patent remedy for Diabetes and Bright's Dis- ease which has put several of our dy- ing fellow citizens on their feet. Its virtues are attested in a way that should convince any fair minded man. Yet no doctor will prescribe It because it Is patented. * * * Are these in- valuable cures to be ruled out because their manner of sale does not conform to a venernble code of medical ethics? We think not. The people will not stand for it. Above is clipped from the Honolulu Datly Advertiser of September 30. Here is a paper that is big enough and brave enough to admit the truth about Ful- ton's Compounds, although it never re- celved a line of our announcements, ‘We knew of tho recoveries it refers to, but there are two inaccuracles in the article: First, Fulton's Compounds are not patented; second, many broad physicians in_the United States are now prescribing them Frank McGowam Is A Defendant.
