A FINE HONOLULU.

The early Hebrews looked for-ward to a "promised land," a bet-ter country, for they were shep-herds and herdsmen. Their de-

scendants, the early Christians,hoped for a "heavenly city," forcity life had been achievedthrough the centuries. The lastbook of the Bible describes the"New Jerusalem," its houses, itswalls and its paved streets. Thisbetter city became the ultimategoal of a great religious move-ment.

For centuries the usual inter-pretation of the prophecy of diebetter city was that it is in thefuture world. And many peopleloosened their hold on the affairsof this world that 'they mightgrasp more certainly the thingsof the world to come with itsperfect city. But other men, some-times not calling themselves re-

ligious, have been working andplanning for better cities in thepresent world, willing to let theheavenly city wait. More andmore, religious men have beenturning from the thought of thecity in another life to the city inthis life, and finding that theyhave gained in the power of theirincentive.

It is an important readjustmentof the relation of religion to lifethat the new concrete movementfor better cities is becoming moreand more a religious movement,that churches are recognizing itas an entirely worthy aim for re-

ligion.5 (5 O

A PRINCE IN THE SLUMS.

The late Prince Francis of Teckhad for years been the bestknown of the Queen's brothers,for, like his sister, he had alwaystaken a great interest in philan-thropic work. He had worked

THE HONOLULU TIMES

in slum parishes for years, andprobably knew almost as muchas a curate in a poor district ofthe manners and customs, hard-ships and habits of the submerg-ed tenth. He perfectly under-stood the young hooligans andtook just as much practical inter-est in all works for the allevia-tion of their poverty and theirmoral improvement as does theQueen, who with her own handsmakes dozens of garments forpoor children during the year.

Joseph Leiter, in an interviewon his yacht Chantecler, said,with a smile: "Please quote meaccurately. In an interview, youknow, the slightest inaccuracycan make a man ridiculous. It is

jl jtPULLING TOGETHER.

There is a story of a bride-groom who requested his bride toaccompany him into their gardena day or two after their wedding.He then threw a line over theroof of the cottage. Giving hiswife one end of it, he retreatedto the other side, and exclaimed,"Pull the line!" She pulled ashard as she could.

He cried, "Pull it over!""I can't," she replied."Pull with all your might!"

shouted the husband.But in vain were all the efforts

of the bride to pull the line over,so long as the husband held theopposite end. But when he cameround, and they both pulled atone end, it came over with greatease.

"There," said he, as the linefell from the roof, "you see howhard and ineffectual was ourlabor when we pulled in opposi-tion to each other, but how easyand pleasant it is when we bothpull together. It will be so, mydear, through life. If we opposeeach other, it will be hard work ;

if we act together, it will bepleasant to live. Let us, there-fore, always pull together."Morning Star.

THE EDITOR'S FEWBRIEF NOTES.

December 3.The last month of the year

came in with a tremendous hurly-burl- y

of wind and rain, tearingclown fences, undoing the mos-quito work of the zealous Boardof Health, and making a generalwholesale disorder and hubbub.But jt is fine and cool and onecan get about with comfort andease.

This strong, boisterous windwill send the mosquitoes out tosea, and that is a great comfortand satisfaction in the midst ofthe din of everything slappingand thrashing all about us. It iscertainly the roughest sort ofweather and not often known inHonolulu.

But, Merry Christmas is com-ing, and all looks now as if itwould be the very best we haveever known, judging from theappearance of the stores.

The windows are resplendentwith holiday goods. The toysalone are a bewildering sight, amagnificent medley of inventionand delight for the eyes of thechildren. The poorest little onecan feast his eyes every day atshop doors and windows, andhundreds are made happy by thesight.

It is a delight to watch the lit-

tle orientals at these windows.And there is very little they do

not spy out and comment upon totheir guardians.

All strangers and touristswithin our gates at this holidayseason are greatly surprised atthe magnificence of the importa-tions of the stores the rare lace,ribbons, silks, and costly gemsin jewelry, plate and cut glass;the Eastern rugs and marvelouswoodwork, the engravings andpaintings, the wonderful curios,the Japanese and Chinese dis-

play; it is, indeed, a revelation tothem, one and all, to find in thismid-Pacifi- c, this Hawaii, thischoice show of wares from everycountry of the globe.

Many of the tourists, if hereonly for a few days, wander aboutfrom shop to shop, not omittingthe stores of the Orientals, and.even the distant Chinese quarters,looking often for quaint and raredevices in stone or ivory, in silks

or crepes, and much moneychanges hands in these oftenquiet strolls.

They sail away with far differ-ent impressions, those travelerson our soil for even but a fewdays, perhaps only hours, thanthey had when landing at ourwharves! It is curious to notethe. expressions of the faces oftenof those riding about for a fewhours, just passing through andhaving only the one day at theirdisposal.

Many of them have learned al-

ready how to travel and to makethe best of their time and thebest use of their money. Thesekeep, often, to the Rapid Transit,changing from car to car to seewhat they can in the few hoursallotted them.December 7.

Last night was rough and quitecold, very unusual for Honolulu;every one was looking about foran extra wrap or blanket, (trulyChristmas weather !)

Today, also, is dark and tem-pestuous a frowning day. Butwe can no longer lay such freaksof weather at the Comet's door,so we are left with nothing tosay.

Tomorrow, likely, will be warmand sunny.

We overheard a little girl sayto her mother, while standing atthe upper corner of King andFort: "Are you quite sure youknow where we arc?" It was soquaint and wise wc had to laughas we looked down at the littleone. "Oh, yes," replied hermother, looking down King-st- .,

"there is the Young Hotel."And that contented the child

directly.All strangers can use the hotel

as a sort of local North Star intraversing the city, and will notget perplexed as to their bearings.

("There is the Young Hotel.")The Cafe is now in perfect shape

cool and refreshing to the eyewith its beautiful walls, attrac-tive and story-tellin- g, and its finedisplay of palms.

We would wish to sound a localnote for the retention of the band.What a serious loss to have themusic no more in the pnrks andon the wharves. Wc cannot real-

ize that some way will not be de-

vised to retain the services ofthese fine musicians.

The loss of the Royal Hawaiian

THE HONOLULU TIMES

Band would prove a great mis-fortune to Hawaii.

At least 50 floats for the FloralParade.

This is the announcement madeby John A. Hughes, chairman ofthe committee on floats. More-over, Mr. Hughes and the mem-bers of his committee are confi-dent that they can carry out theiraim to make the float section ofthe parade the most important inthe entire procession.

The people will never tire oflooking at floats, and we can buthope there will be enough innumbers to represent all the col-

leges and schools and all the in-

dustries of the city and island,mechanical and otherwise.

Every store on Bishop, Fort,etc., could make a grand display;the Cable office, the PromotionCommittee rooms, even the law-yers and doctors, the Mayor andall Supervisors should, so it seemsto us, get up and make each a finefloat.

This would be a great encour-agement to John Hughes and thedirectors, who arc ambitious tomake a very stirring parade forthe new year.

If all will try, there could be atleast a hundred floats in the pro-cession.

And many of them could bemade very striking. Humor andmirth could also find a place.December 10.

Last night there was a rain-bow and a sunset of great splen-dor, and later on a heavy rainthat washed all nature thorough-ly. Today is one of our mostbrilliant days, and the stretch ofland and sea at Waikiki gloriousto behold.

The town was full of travelersfrom the two steamers, Zealandiaand the Asia. They seemed to beenjoying every minute of theirstay on land, and the cars werecrowded with men, women andchildren. As one conductor re-

marked. "They struck a prettyday." And, indeed, the day is anicture and must seem a trulyParadise of the Pacific coming offthe shin in the early morning, togreet so lovely a town. It mustseem a marvel to them, in itshighest tronical and most superbarrav of greenery and flowers.

We noticed one eentleman whoseemed amazed as he watchedthree little girls picking the hi

biscus blossoms from the hedgeand filling their hands; he evi-dently thought they were toobeautiful to be pulled that way.These hedges are a wonder to thestranger over and over, and evena kamaaina never tires of them.

The day, too, is not too warm,just delightful to go about.

What pleasant stories theymust have to relate to theirfriends of the hours spent in Ho-nolulu. They will likely tell ofthe time at the postoffice, thebuying and mailing of cards, andthe pleasant chat with sea com-panions, of the stroll about thetown, and the beautiful shopwindows, of all the nice clerksthat waited on them so cheer-fully, of the long ride, the hill-tops, the beach and the Aquar-ium; and of the trifling outlay, itmay be.

Doubtless some of them, andpossibly many, leave a good dealof money behind them, wherethey expend lavishly.

Our own people are now giv-ing good and generous patronageto the stores, and contentmentseems to be the guest of everylarge place of retail goods. Thefirms seem placid and satisfied,and we hope it will continue thatway until late into the winter.

The importations are veryheavy at this time and all mustturn their money in ready sales,in order to make good.

These firms invest often inchoice goods, hoping to suit theircustomers and not to keep thegoods on their hands. They takebig risks, and we hope not onefirm will be disappointed or meetwith misfortune.

We trust it will be to everyoneof them a Merry Christmas.December 12.

We are having a spell of themost charming weather and itmakes the shopkeepers' hearts re-

joice when they see the crowd ofbuyers all day long.

Every place excepting the IronWorks, perhaps, savors of Christ-mas.

Dr. Scudder's talk of Florencelast night was full of vim, and theItalian names seemed as pat tohim as that of P. C. Jones or anyother easy.

At nine o'clock the assemblageknew quite a chanter of MichaelAngelo, Dante and Savonarola.

The night was perfect and quitecool.December 14.

The Rev. Dr. Scudder renewedhis subscription, and for twoyears, today.

He must think we shall livelong times !

Secretary E. A. Mott-Smit- h

will remain in Washington untilDecember 22.December 16.

As one lady remarked, this is"perfect Indian summer weather."But the Indians say, that summerlasts until the first snow flies.

So it looks like we, in Hono-lulu, may have it for some timeyet ! We are really having a sortof "special consignment," as shop-keepers say, in the way of wea-ther. It is so very cool at nightthat it cannot seem to get verywarm even at high noon.

Superb and unique atmosphereare good terms for the same.

We are certainly, one and all,on the best of terms with thesedaily times. Never were therebetter selling days than these forall the stores. If one has anysort of goods, cheap or costly,they will find buyers.

It is a remarkable Christmasseason, and calls forth remarks onevery hand.

Mr. Ford, for one, informs ustoday that he is "sold out" on theMid-Pacif- ic Magazine, for Jan-uary. And, he seemed in the bestof spirits (mentally, of course).

We believe, too, it is a case (inhis case) of grateful spirits agratified spirit coming to one asa reward of hard work. That'sour logic.

As we have said, every place istaking on a beautiful, bountifulshow of Christmas cheer, in colorand light and brilliant and choicedesigns, in books, in art, intrinkets, toys, tapestries and insplendid goods of every make.

THE HONOLULU TIMES

(We may except the IronWorks and old-bott- le shops.)

The men and women and thelovely children are as charmingto us on these days as are theshops; so many, many on thestreets and in the stores. When-ever the Colonists help to makethe crowd, we cannot tire of theirrich color, for most of them havebrilliant complexion; and, too,they always seem so happy overour goodly town and express theirliking freely.

"Never saw a rainbow exactlylike that one." "This is a goodkind of country, Frank." "What'sthat, now, growing over there?"

THE MID-PACIFI- C MAGA-ZINE.

In "The Mid-Pacif- ic Magazine,"these Islands have a promotion pub-lication that should be as valuableas it is attractive. The first numberof the magazine has just appearedand fairly surpasses all the best thatthe friends of its publisher, Alexan-der Hume Ford, had expected. Itis ahead of many of the monthlyperiodicals published in the largermainland cities in appearance, insize, in illustrations and in the vari-ety of interest of the articles pro-duced. The fact that a publicationof this nature can not only be writ-ten about Hawaii and the SouthSeas but actually published and dis-

tributed from the midpacific will bean eyeopener to the many on themainland who persist in regardingHonolulu as the grass-h- ut center ofa savage land, or, as more do, asa city of the type depicted in cur-rent literature of the tropics, whereeveryone takes a daily siesta, dineson breadfruit and quinine and re-

lies on month-ol-d New Yorkpapers for news of the day.

The Mid-Pacif- ic should helpgreatly in clearing up the many mis-

conceptions Americans have of thisportion of their own United States,while it should, as well, inducetravel this way.

WOOD'S WEEKLY LETTER.

By the mail to hand we receivedletters from 119 different citiesthroughout the United States, giv-ing us the names and addresses ofseveral hundred people who aremore or less actively engaged inworking up trips to different partsof the world, and while most ofthese have hitherto confined theiroperations to the Atlantic Coast andEurope, we shall expect to convertthe majority to the belief that thePacific has more of interest to offer,and hope that this special campaignmay result in securing many addi-tional workers for Hawaii, as wellas for the Orient and the SouthSeas.

NEW WHITE HOUSE COOK.

Miss Flora Hamilton, a youngwoman of Scotch-Iris- h descent, isnow in charge of the culinary ar-

rangements at the White House.She supervises the cooking of thefood for the President's family andhas charge of the work of the kitch-en force which prepares food forabout 1,200 people during the win-ter season. Miss Hamilton's lastposition was in the kitchen of aprominent New York family.

St t ,itTHE NEED OF THE MALI-HIN- I

TREE.

In many quarters the impressionexists that the Malihini ChristmasTree will be supplemental in itsgift-givi- to the Christmas affairsheld in the various missions ofthe city. It would be good if thiswere correct; unfortunately, it isnot. The missions reach many, butby no means all the needy childrenof the city. The district of Kaka-ak- o,

for instance, is one in whichis located probably the most aggres-sive mission in the city, yet, accord-ing to Superintendent Rider, therewere over three hundred childrenin that section last year who wouldhave had no Christmas at all hadthe Malihini Tree not been. Thefounders of the Malihini Tree es-

tablished the one form of Christ-mas giving that reaches into everypart of the city and takes in everyneedy child that can be found. Itdraws no lines of creed, color, racenor location, the only limitation itplaces upon those it benefits beingthat they come from homes whereSanta Claus can not find them.This year, if the plans of the com-mittee can be fully carried out, thetree will bear gifts for sixteen hun-dred boys and girls.

(We are sure no one will mournif any of the poor little ones shouldhappen to have a streak of luck inthe way of an extra gift, orange orbag of candy from some other goodand generous tree.)

THE HONOLULU TIMES

Each moment I find in your flower-like face

Some shy hidden charm it is raptureto trace.

In the depths of your eyes shadow-ed violets nest,

That come in the nighttime androb me of rest ; ;

And when hies the morning no com-fort I win,

As I dream of the dimple that peepsfrom your chin.

Ah, Peggy, dear Peggy, the lassesall frown

As you trip through the street inyour pretty blue gown ; ;

They scoff and they murmur;there's sorrow to pay

The hearts of the laddies you'vetaken away.

The eyes of the swains ever followyour feet,

Bewitched by a music no rhyme canrepeat ;

For the fairies attend you whereveryou go,

And dance to the pat of your gaylittle toe.

Yet, Peggy, dear Peggy, with loversa score,

Some day you must choose from thehearts that adore ;

There's a time to coquet and atime to have done.

You've smiled upon twenty, nowlove only one.

'Tis folly to falter. Why tarry tomate ?

A word in your ear as you trembleand wait.

True counsel I offer, as honest asfree,

Just take my advice, Peggy Peg-gy, take me.

transferred the endowment fund of$10,000,000 to the board of trusteesof the Carnegie Institution atWashington, he declared it to be hispurpose to found an institutionwhich, "with the cooperation of in-

stitutions now or hereafter estab-lished, there or elsewhere, shall inthe broadest and most liberal man-ner encourage investigation, re-

search and discovery, show the ap-

plication of knowledge to the im-

provement of mankind, and providesuch buildings, laboratories, booksand apparatus as may be needed."In this declaration of purpose Mr.

Carnegie clearly formulated theprinciple that has guided him in thedistribution of his great fortune,and announced a purpose commonto his chief benefactions. The "im-provement of mankind," the takingof measures that shall place menand nations a little higher from ageto age, that shall make them hap-pier, worthier, nobler fn a word,progress that was Mr. Carnegie'saim. With this thought and thisaim all his giving has been in fullharmony. The Foundation for theAdvancement of Teaching, provid-ing retiring allowances for profes-sors and teachers in universities,colleges and echnical schools, wasintended to serve the cause of high-er education "by advancing anddignifying the profession of teach-er." The Carnegie libraries all overthe land, diffusing knowledge arfdimparting a taste for reading,through which knowledge readilycomes, have been most wisely plan-ned to serve the end their founderhas steadily kept in view, "the im-

provement of mankind."With the ardor of full conviction,

Mr. Carnegie has with tongue andpen and purse striven to promotepermanent peace among nations.That is a purpose not merely con-

gruous with the intent of his gen-erous benefactions, it is identicallythe same. The old romantic notionthat war ennobles the spirit of manhas been abandoned for the truerperception that by wars neither mennor nations advance toward theworthier state that is the sane, therational, and the attainable ideal ofphilanthropy. The world's greatestforward steps in knowledge havenot been taken in time of war.

If at his seventy-fift- h birthday,Mr. Carnegie is moved to take ac-

count of the means and methods bywhich he has sought to contributeto "the improvement of mankind,"and to the principlesthat have guided him in that en-

deavor, we are confident that he willfind his broad plans to stand in noneed of revision or change. Theywere wise from the beginning.

THE INTERNATIONAL MOB.

The talk about "fear of a clashwith Mexico," the "need of but atrifle to place the two countries ina position of imminent hostility,"etc., is the sheerest nonsense. It isalmost if not quite inconceivablethat any civilized nation in this dayand generation could get up a se- -

rious row as the result of outbreaksof hoodlumism.

Questions of international rela-tions are, of course, ultimately de-

cided by public opinion, but eventhat wayward and often hystericalruler should be immune by this timeto the attack of the rabble rouser,at least in international affairs. Awar, or even serious danger of one,between two republics as a resultof the action of a few murderousindividuals in each country wouldbe a gross anachronism in thistwentieth century.

Mexico has nothing to gain andeverything to lose in a material wayby a break with the United States,while Uncle Sam would stultifyhimself and his peaceful protesta-tions by allowing his jingoes to yellhim into such a thoroughly dis-

graceful mess short of the most in-

excusable provocation. Civilizedman is steadily growing toward theview that war for any purpose shortof national preservation is a relic ofbarbarism. It is bad enough tohave our domestic affairs disgracedby the mobbers and lynchers andgangsters without placing interna-tional relations in their hands.

Many nationalities were repre-sented at the opening of the Mid-Pacif- ic

Institute, in Manoa Val-ley, early last month, and ad-

dresses in several languages weredelivered by enthusiastic workersto an audience that filled the largeMills School hall to overflowing.

Long before the time announc-ed for the opening exercises atfour o'clock, the crowd began toassemble, and the buildings werethronged with visitors who werepleasingly surprised at the won-derful development of the insti-tution.

The dedicatory exercises open-ed with an invocation by Rev. W.B. Oleson, Secretary of the Ha-waiian Board.

Rev. Frarfcis W. Damon, Pres-ident of the Mid-Pacif- ic Institute,delivered the address of welcome,in which he dwelt upon thegrowth of the institute and hisappreciation of the generous as-

sistance given by the HawaiianBoard and philanthropic individ-uals in making possible the con-tinuance of this great work.

"I feel it a very great privi-lege," said he, "to welcome youto this new home of Mills Insti-tute. From small beginnings we

r

THE HONOLULU TIMES

are now hopefully launched, andI am gratified to see so many ofour friends here today to see theresult of their support in the workwhich we have been planning todo. I am pleased, furthermore, tosee so many active workers andsupporters of the institute fromnumerous races, all working to-

gether for the advancement ofthe brotherhood of man. Withunited action, the Mid-Pacif- ic In-stitute is becoming stronger andstronger and surely God's bless-ing is upon us.1'

A Thanksgiving service wasthen enacted by the students ofthe institute, led by Miss M. E.Bosher, principal of KawaiahaoSeminary, after which the audi-ence rose and joined with them insinging the Doxology.

"The Significance of the Insti-tute to the Territory and theWorld" was the subject of the ad-

dress of Rev. Doremus Scudder,D.D. He said in his opening re-

marks that this was quite aweighty subject to deal with inthe four minutes Avhich had beenallotted to him.

"President Damon is used todoing big things in a short time,"said he, "and I will have to try tokeep up with his pace. He hasdone wonders in the past threeor four years, as will be seen fromthe development of this institute,these handsome buildings and thefifty-seve- n acres surroundingthem.

"God has created and ordainedHawaii to be an object lesson oftwentieth century friendship be-

tween the East and the West.Here children of many races aretrained and educated to becomeloyal Americans. Here boys andAmericans. Here the boys andgirls of various nationalities studyand work on terms of absoluteequality and this institute offersa grand opportunity for cement-ing the friendship of the nationsof the Pacific."

The speaker hoped that all thechildren, of whatever nationality,would become true and loyalAmerican citizens, but that theycould still remember with lovethe countries from which they ortheir parents came. He com-mended the institute upon thework of drawing together the peo-ples of the Pacific, which meantso much for the future peace of

the nations bordering upon thisocean.

After the "Humming Chorus"from Cavaliera Rusticana, by thestudents of Kawaiahao Seminary,addresses were delivered by Rev.T. Okumura upon "Our JapaneseStudents"; Mr. Tsc Ki Uen on"Our Chinese Students"; Rev. U.S. Kim on "Our Korean Stu-dents", and Rev. O. H. Gulick on"Our Hawaiian and Other Stu-dents".

A chorus from Mills Schoolstudents gave an excellent rendi-tion of "God of the Nations,"from II Trovatore.

COMMITTEE IN FAVOR OFBAS-RELIE- F BY A LONDINARTIST.

Oahu College will receive, beforeJuly of the coming year, a bronzebas-reli- ef of the late Gen. S. C.Armstrong, designed and executedby A. Bertram Pegram, an Englishsculptor, the original being installedrecently at Hampton Institute,founded by General Armstrong.

The portrait design was selectedyesterday from three models, orportraits of models, by the Arm-strong memorial committee at ameeting held in the directors' roomof the Bank of Hawaii. Judge S.B. Dole, chairman of the commit-tee, presided. The original commit-tee was constituted a few years ago,when G. R. Carter was Governor,as follows : Governor Geo. R. Car

Many of the above members werepresent yesterday.

A SPEAKING LIKENESS.The design accepted is a splendid

bas-reli- ef of General Armstrong, aportrait, the likeness being regard-ed by those who knew the distin-guished publicist as remarkablytrue. Doctor Emerson, JosephEmerson, Doctor Alexander andW. O. Smith regard it as wonder-ful- l'

striking, while members of theArmstrong family have only praisefor the sculptor whose art trans-ferred the features so truly to mar-ble and bronze.

The original of this bronze por-trait is done in marble and has beengiven to Hampton Institute, theschool for negroes, which was or-

ganized tist after the Ciil War, andinstituted and carried on by GeneralArmstrong, who went to the UnitedStates from Hawaii before the warbegan. The sculptor is an English-man, and the model and marblewere fashioned in his studio in Lon-don. The gift to Hampton Instit-ute was made by E. H. Van Ingen,a New York merchant, who isdeeply interested in the Hamptonwork.

GIVER HELPS HAWAII.

When President Griffiths ofOahu College was East last year hehad an interview with Mr. Van Iiv-ge-

seeking the privilege of pre-senting for his consideration a re-

quest for a replica of the memorial.Mr. Van Ingen not only gave hispermission, but at once manifestedgreat personal interest in the mat-ter, and has clone a great deal tohave photographs of the modelssent here, and he also secured Pe-gra-

permission to secure areplica.

The committee decided to havethe replica produced in bronze, al-

though some expressed a prefer-ence for marble. The cost of thebronze replica will be $1300. Thecommittee plans to raise about

$1500 to cover all expenses, includ-ing freight and erection in the lowercorridor of Pauahi Hall at IahuCollege.

5 5 4vMALIHINI.

We are glad the tedious elec-tion is over and very soon to beforgotten in the daily toil forbread and butter which the ma-jority of us must look after how-ever many votes may be won orlost. Few can afford to halt onthe way, linger, listen and debateover the results. It is past. Itis all quite settled. Useless andvain now to stop and cavil. Letus have peace, even if not gettinga piece of office of any sort.

Let us begin to think a bigpiece, to plan and to gather in,for the "Malihini ChristmasTree," which is far more joyousand merry food for thought thanall the past political quagmire,we must admit, that "good timecoming" for all the poor babies!

It shall surely come, and wepray that it may be a much big-

ger and grander affair than eitherof the two past, good as they in-

deed were.But you know, Honolulu men

and women are always lookingfor an improvement, and sureto make one!

There are crowds more of poorlittle ones today we must believethan in the Christmas past'; andthat fact must be reckoned withwe reckon. All sick, too, unableto come to the Tree will be think-ing even in 'the midst of pain andsuffering of the doll or the drumthat will be sent to them. Andnot one tiny waif shall be neg-lected, for forty pairs of eyes

will be scanning every nook andcorner of this town to mark andto know. Perhaps my readersknow that even that Advertiserman men (gentlemen) are wideawake in this vital happy time.They are all alert we can tellyou, about the Christmas cheerfor the poor (the poorest) tinyfolk ("Tim").

Now, this Tree is bound togive joy to the entire (en masse)community, for what affects thepoorest child affects every manand woman and other child how-ever rich or miglity, we assert.

that could rush to the help; oh,yes.

This Tree will be a wholesome(wholesale) and magnificent,even stupendous surprise to thestranger within our gates. It willgive him an idea of how (one"how" of many) we keep the Di-

vine Birth in the land of alohaand sunshine mingled with rain-bows painting the hillsides. Theireyes and their hearts will indeedbe opened, and they may wish tojoin in giving gifts.

However, we never forget, wecan never forget, that the lovingfounders of this particular and

Tree, were touristsin our midst, travelers, and theywere inspired so to speak, to do-

nate a special tree for poor chil-dren and manifest their love forHonolulu and their interest inthat way. They were thinking oftheir loved ones far over the sea.And they could not stand idle atthat blessed season and so theyhastened to give and to try tomake happy, at least for that oneday.

And it was a marvelous out-pouring such as the city had notknown. It was an original aunique affair, and the messageof love struck home to everyheart.

And so, is now well-roote- d themalihini tree for all the comingyears as we do believe.

With all the rest it seems thevery best and easiest method ofreaching all and giving a happyouting to all, receiving each hisown gift and sharing also to thefull in the joy and gladness ofthe hundreds of little comradesa treat, too, of music and oflaughter, for what can be moremusical than the merry laughterof children at such a time! Truemelody and always welcome tothe ear.

The city will turn out to wit-ness this moving picture show,this panorama of color and de-

light, this caravan of boys andgirls hastening on to the Christ-mas tree from every quarter ofthe town. It will be a giganticscheme as we predict, for 1910.It will even startle ourselves ifwe do not mistake. It will be re-

membered and recounted, in far-o- ff

lands and homes, by the tour-ists a story worth one's whileand of many chapters.

It takes time and wisdomand many heads all working inharmony, to create the MalihiniChristmas Tree.

COLLEGE OF HAWAII.

For the agricultural colleges,which in Hawaii is the College ofHawaii, $500,000 is appropriatedto teach agriculture, rural affairs,trades and industries. The allot-ment to each State shall not beless than $10,000, so the collegeis assured of that amount. Theproviso in this case is that thelegislature establishes an exten-sion department and appropriatean amount equal to allotment.

It is a source of congratulationon behalf of the poor children ofof this city that so much interestis being displayed in the deckingof the Malihini Christmas Tree,which is for the benefit of everychild who would otherwise missthe pleasure of being remember-ed with some token of the loveand thoughtfulness due them atthis season. The members of theJapanese community have, asusual, responded in a whole-hearted manner and propose toincrease materially the sum ofhappiness to which the little oneslook forward. And now the Chi-nese residents have come forwardand intend to add their donationsand good wishes. Thus the Mali-hini Christmas Tree will bloomforth with a thousand forget-me-not- s.

IN MEMORY OFTHEIR FOUNDER

Memorial services were held inthe chapel at KamehamehaSchools Sunday morning, in con-tinuation of a celebration keepingfresh the memory of Mrs. Bishop.The Rev. W. B. Oleson conduct-ed the service, which was notice-able inasmuch as it was nearlyall in the Hawaiian tongue. Thiscustom is carried out every year,

it being thought that by thismeans the day. and more especi-ally the sentiment connected withit, will be more readily construedby the students.

The scene in the chapel was animpressive one. Line upon lineof boys and girls, with the Ha-waiian blood flowing in theirveins, poured out their love anddevotion for her to whom theyowed so much, in hymns whichwere her favorites when she wasalive. In the semi-darkne- ss ofthe chapel the organ notes stolesoftly, and presently was heardthe chanting in the musical na-

tive tongue. It is one of theflowers Mrs. Bishop left behindher in her life, the best and mostbeautiful of them all.

The service was opened by theorgan prelude, "I Waited for theLord," followed by the Doxologyand the Invocation. The wholeschool then united in singing oneof Mrs. Bishop's favorite songs,"Pauahi ke Alii," and later onagain the boys sang "Pauahi oKalani."

The Rev. Mr. Oleson based hissermon on the foundation Mrs.Bishop had laid for the future ofher race. It might be, however,that if she could express her wishto them that it would be thatthey would think less of her per-sonally and more of her work. Itwas the idea that she had in hermind that is the great thing forthem to grasp and try to under-stand. It was for them to developtheir lives as they thought shewould like them. But the foun-dation was useless unless they didthis.

At the conclusion of the sermonthe girls of the school got to-

gether and sent their famous cryringing through the chapel. Aninterlude and communion follow-ed and then the girls recited theQueen's prayer, which was spe-cially written by Her Majesty forher subjects. The benedictionand amen closed the service.

nese mission in Palama, writes,for instance: "In this congesteddistrict, teeming with child life,it is a hard matter to discriminatebetween those who need andthose who most need Christmascheer. To the first class manyhundreds of tickets could be dis-

ST. ANDREW'S PRIORY.

By Abby Stuart Marsh, Principal.(By courtesy of the Paradise of

the Pacific.)Even though housed in a hand-

some building of reinforced con-crete and surrounded by ampleand well-ke- pt grounds, St. An-drew's Priory is not as new as itseems. Rather has it an interest-ing history linked with the claysof the past ; even with the revivalin the nineteenth century, of Con-ventual life in old England, withthe name of Dr. Pusey and thatof Miss Sellon, the Foundress ofthe first Order of modern timesin the Anglican Church theOrder of the Holy Trinity.

In 1862, Bishop Staley came tothe Islands at the request of thereigning sovereign, KamehamehaIV., to establish a Mission of theEnglish Church. In '64, threeSisters of the Order of the HolyTrinity, from the DevonportHouse, Devonport, England, cameto the Islands and established aschool for girls, St. Cross, at La-hain- a.

In '67, the Lady Superior,Miss Sellon, came with a newforce of Sisters, and within threeweeks of her arrival the buildingsof the first St. Andrew's Priorywere begun. Quaint, one-stor- y

cloistered buildings they were,surrounding a pretty court, whosemarked feature was a tall crossof the Island coral. Here on As-

cension Day, 1867, Bishop Staleyheld a service inaugurating thework of St. Andrew's Priory,preaching from the steps of thecross ; and here, on every suc-ceeding Ascension Day, has beensaid a service of song and prayer.It has always been the thoughtof St. Andrew's Priory to directthe lives of the girls committedto its care on the highest andtruest lines, fitting them for use

THE HONOLULU TIMES

fulness in whatever departmentof life they may be placed.

The first buildings, at that timecalled the most attractive in town,comprised a chapel, refectory, re-

ception room, and dormitories;the devoted Sisters living directlywith the students. Beyond thecourt, and yet collected with it,was a large field, a place of recre-ation for the Sisters and a play-ground for the children.

Later, the Reverend Mother,seeing the work in Honolulu wellestablished, returned to England,and, in after years, another Sisterreturned to become in her turnthe head of the Order. In thequiet cemetery in Nuuanu Val-ley lie the mortal remains of thetwo Sisters who, "having finish-ed their course in faith, do nowrest from their labors."

Thirty-si- x years ofwork is the record of the

two, Sister Beatrice and SisterAlbertina, who are still with us.Thirty-si- x years of patience withthe waywardness of the childrenof all ages ; thirty-si- x years of ab-

sence from home and life, withthe unavoidable conditions of anew civilization; thirty-si- x yearsof burdens lovingly carried untilat last the work was freely giveninto the hands of Bishop Resta-ric- k,

whom political changes hadplaced in charge of the work ofthe Episcopal Church in the Ha-waiian Islands.

With these early days are con-nected many memories of thepalmy days of the Hawaiian mon-archy, of the friendship of QueenEmma of "blessed memory," andof the troublous days precedingannexation. Could the silentvoices of the past once more echothrough the old cloisters, one lineof which is still standing, inter-esting, indeed, the tales theywould tell of the old customs andmanners, of girlish plays andfoibles, and of the loving com-munion of friends. Many girlshave passed from the Priorycloisters to St. Andrew's Cathe-dral, there to take upon them-selves the solemn vows of themarriage service. In homes allover the Islands, as mothers andgrandmothers, are the old Priorverirls, as they still like to callthemselves, and no nupils aremore gladly welcomed at thepresent day than the daughtersand granddaughters of these first

students. It is difficult for astranger to realize what the Sis-ters have been in the lives of thewomen of the Islands: the actingmothers of their pupils, theirnurses and advisers in sicknessand in health, in business and inspiritual matters, giving freely ofthemselves to all.

Entering in upon a work laidon such strong and wise founda-tions, the present management ofthe school had a far lighter taskthan had its founders.

A few years after taking up thework, Bishop Restarick, findingthat new buildings were indis-pensable to the continued useful-ness of the school, accumulatedfunds for the same. Prominentmen of the Islands, appreciatingthe past, and the continued workof the Priory in the uplift ofyoung womanhood, gave gener-ously; from the missionary offer-ings of the Episcopal Church inAmerica $10,000 was given; andfriends on the mainland contrib-uted unfil, by the efforts ofBishop and Mrs. Restarick, thesum of $61,000 was raised for thebuilding and its furnishings, alasting memorial to the work ofthe Sisters on the Hawaiian Is-

lands. The building is of theEarly Colligate Gothic; the arch-itect, Mr. Dickey of San Fran-cisco, happily conforming to thegeneral style of the Cathedralbuildings, thereby making a har-monious addition to the group.The site is that formerly occu-pied by the home of Mrs. S. S.Robertson, by whom, in the trans-fer of the property, a liberal dis-count was made. The gift of Mr.Irwin of land, in the rear of thefirst purchase, added to that al-

ready owned, has made a beauti-ful playground for the girls.

Today, St. Andrew's Priory iswell equipped in all its depart-ments of work. From the tinytot of three, who plays in the sun-shine the whole day long, to thegirl who, graduating at the Prirryon a high school course, goes tothe Normal School for a year ofpedagogical training and valunblediploma, or finds her life work insome other sphere of usefulness,all have suitable play, school, andwork rooms. In addition to theusual school curriculum, all aretaught to sew, to cook, and to dohousework. There is the laundryfor the finer kinds of washing

and ironing, the cooking schoolkitchen, with just such a stove asis found in most of the students'homes, the poi room and of thelarge pantry, the room for classesin stenography and typewriting,the two rooms for music lessons,the large and well-fitte- d sewingroom, the four school rooms, andQueen Emma Hall for lectures,entertainments, and dancing.

These, with the oratory, the re-

ception room, offices, library, re-

fectory, dormitories, and the in-

firmary with a sleeping porch,nurse's room, and ample equip-ments, are all substantially andyet simply and artistically fur-nished for their several needsthrough the kindness of interest-ed friends. On many doors arebrass plates bearing the name ofthe one who has furnished theroom or of the one in whose mem-ory loving friends have done thesame.

Thus the Oratory, in itself amemorial to the Rev. Dr. Puseyand Reverend Mother Foundress,is the gift of the Sisters and thefriends of their Order in Eng-land, and ti will in time bearmany loving memorials of thosewho have been with us. QueenEmma Hall, with its baby grandpiano and oil portrait, is the giftof the former students of the Sis-

ters. The children's dormitory,the gift of St. Mary's School,Knoxville, 111. The receptionroom was furnished by the Wo-man's Auxiliary of St. Andrew'sCathedral; the library by theAhahui Iolani, the Woman'sGuild of the Hawaiian congrega-tion; the accountant's office bythe Daughters of the King of theLos Angeles Assembly; the prin-cipal's, in memory of Mrs. MaryCastle, one of the first mission-aries to the Islands, by two ofher granddaughters.

On looking over the list of itsformer pupils and graduates, thePriory has great reason to bethankful, for among the numberare those filling satisfactorily thevarious stations in which theyhave been placed; a number asteachers in various schools of theIslands ; and four as graduatenurses, the first of their nation tofollow this honorable calling.

No one can find the limit of theinfluence of one good woman,like a stone thrown into placidwater, it goes on in ever-wide- n-
