KAUMEKAplll,

At meeting of the trustees, held
on the goth, it was decided to pro-
coed with the completion of the
second tower and spirc. The ncccs-
sary funds, about $4,000, required
for the woodwork of the spire and
the finishing of the church inside,
are expected to be all in before the
end of the year. A collection will
be taken, in the church, on Sunday
morning next, in aid of the Building
Fund. A concert will be given on
the oath; and on the 2Sth, INDIE
pcndence Day, there will be grand
Luau Lulu Dala, the proceeds of
both to 90 into the same fund. If
any of our readers don't know what
luau lulu dala means, they can sub
sttute the term soiree or festival.
AT the luau there will be three tables
for natives, Chinese and whites,
respectively. The several districts
in connection with the church are
expected to contribute the necessary
pigs, fowls, poi, fish, ETC., to supply
the tables. = Oct. LIST.

A RELIEF EXPEDITION.

Yesterday evening the steamer c.
II. Bishop was intercepted at Wal
alua and ordered to return to Homo
lulu. She left there at ten O'Clock
last night and this morning trans
ferred her cargo to the steamer JAS.
Makee. The c. r. Bishop has been
chartered by the Government to
search for the missing schooner Ka-
moi. The steamer is well provision
ed for month, also taking rcviving
nutriment for the sufferers if found.
She has been ordered to cruise for
ten days. She sailed this afternoon
for Lahaina to take on board the
Government physician at that place.
From thence she will proceed to
meet the Kinau and give, her word

deck to haul on the line.
But the two strugglers could
not bear the strain. They were
only able to hold their own, when

the first and. took the other arm.
Then boatful of wharfmcn came
alongside and gave the trio good
boost. When our hero, with all this
assistance, was raised to the level
of saloon window, his carpet bag,
that had been an encumbrance from
the first, was wrested from his hand
and tossed through the opening.
Then q third assistant appeared in
side, who seized the passenger by
the shoulders and tugged as the
others hoisted. AS "the last pas
senger" disappeared on board head
foremost through the window, the
cheering from wharf and deck was
something to he remembered.
"Some one has to be last"

This was responded to with enthusi-

filled the hall with its inspiring
strains. "Auld Lang Syne" fol-
lowed, and was sung with a spirit
and pathos BETTING its inimitable

lous," was the reply. "You can

have the retail license fee raised to
$500. That would close up most of
the Chinese stores at once. Then
the duty on goods from China should
be made 100 percent, which would
put stop to the importation of sup
plies from that country. Why should
China's sinking fish and duck be
forced into the country, when the
United States buys our sugar and
can give in return ample supplies Of
wholesome food for all classes?
Next year we will have 10000 tons
of sugar to sell to America, and
something should be done TO give
the fullest scope to the treaty, in the
way of taking American produce in
exchange for our great product.
Another thing that should be done,
is to stop the issuance of peddling
licenses altogether.

The regular quarterly meeting of
the Honolulu Library and Reading
Room Association, including also
the annual meeting, was held last
evening in the reading room. There
was but small attendance, only
three or four members outside of
the Executive being present, making
up total Of fifteen members. Hon.
S. B. Dole, president, having called
the meeting to order, the minutes of
last meeting were read by the secre-
tary, Mr.. FL. A. Parmelee, and ap-
proved. Mr.. A. l.. Smith, trea-
surer, read the quarterly financial
report, showing balance in hand
of S31.76.
The trustees reported two recon-
mendations to the Association,
namely: LIST, That sum not ex-
ceeding $1,000 be borrowed, TO pay
off certain outstanding debts; 2ndly,
That an Authors Carnival be held
in February, to raise money to re-
deem the proposed loan.
The first recommendation was
adopted. The second was referred
to the entertainment committee to
be appointed at that meeting.
In the course of discussion of
the above method of raising funds,
reference was made to a resolution
of last years meeting, to appoint
canvasser for regular subscriptions,
and Professor M. M. Scott reported
that, without official commission, he
had gone out one fine morning and
secured thirty new members.
Rev. DR.. Hyde moved resolu-
ton, of which due notice had been
given, that section two of the bylaws
be altered, so that bills should be
referred to the auditing committee
instead of to the Association. The
motion passed.
Mr.. A. Marques sent in his re-
signation as a member of the board
of trustees, asking that he should
not be nominated for reelection.
He found fault with the financial
management of the institution, hold
ing that it was a great mistake that
two-story building had not been
erected, so that revenue could be
derived from letting the ground
floor. The secretary was instructed
to acknowledge the receipt of the
resignation and signify its accept
ance.

the following officers for the ensuing
year,

A DEPARTED WORTHY.
EXPLOITS OF AN ADvENTUHER IN
HoNoLuLu-ANoTHE ONE IN THE
FIELD.

There arrived in the steerage of
the S. S. Alameda from San Fran
cisco on April 22nd, gentlemanly
looking young man of about twenty
five, billed as E. G. Thompson. His
autograph, as it appears in the regis
ter of the Hawaiian Hotel, is down
in a beautiful flourish as E. Cecil
Thompson. This parsonage affected
to be man of property from Eng
land, and he engaged a room in
Union street, taking his meals for the
most part at the Hotel. OF a polished
exterior and insinuating ways, he
soon established himself in the favor
of many estimable residents. Armed
with his own graces and the regard
of a considerable section of Homo
lulu society, this gentleman of
leisure, who claimed to have made
the circuit of the globe eleven times,
went forth conquering and to con-
qucr. Being possessed of a taste
for rural felicity, he obtained the
freedom of some of the ranches on
this Island, and made prolonged ex-
cursions to the pleasantest and most
comfortable private manors of other
Islands. He was ready to buy up
estates wherever he went, and in
fact proclaimed himself in this city
as the purchaser of Mr.. James Gays
ranch at Waialua.
His form becoming familiar, and
his manners acceptable to the COM
munity, of course the next thing to
be done was to obtain stake in the
country. That can be done in this
kingdom, with its passport law, most
easily by creating personal obliga-
tons on all hands. The very thing
our hero set about doing, and he
succeeded to the extent of running
up bills in many local establish
ments, drinking saloons, perhaps,
having his distinguished preference.
At length the reckoning day came.
The traders and caterers wanted
their money and were not over
awed by the august VISITORS pres
ence into postponing their requests
for settlement. The hardness of
the debtors response, and the pro-
fuseness of his excuses for delay,
only increased the importantly of
his creditors. Honolulu was becom-
ing too tropical for his genteel COM
fort, and now for the summoning up
of all the reserves of the wits by
which he had, at least, added luXu-
robustness to subsistence. AS the
game could not be played much
longer, the player must of necessity
retire from the scene. The culmi-
nation of T.. Cecil Thompson's
career in Honolulu was reached on
Saturday last. A few evenings pre-
viously he had shed parting luster
on his record by dining the officers
of the man-of-war.
Visiting the Delmonico saloon on
King street, kept by Mr.. Sam. Now
lein, he was aked for "that little
bill" of twenty-five dollars, which
he owed the bartender, Mr.. +. l..
Doyle, for room rent. ooh, GER
tainly, only you will have to cash a
small draft" was the reply, as
Thompson produced Il draft of 1927
and odd cents, on one of the National
Banks of California. Mr.. Doyle
could not cash the draft in the
absence of his employer, but the
latter himself entering offered to do
what he could with the paper. Mr..
Nowlein took the draft in good faith
to Mr.. NJ. McInerny and asked him

A Prima Donna,s Food.


More depends upon a singers eating than one
is apt to suppose. You constantly see para
graphs in the papers how this prima donna or
that prima donna is so capricious about her
food. 1t is not caprice; it is necessity. A prima
donna could not sing on meal cooked as the
average hotel furnishes it. Her digestion must
be looked after, or her voice suffers. A good
natured laugh passes over the face Of the coun-
try at Miss Kellogg'si little fryingp pan and
alcohol stove, but that little frying-pan and
alcohol stove have made it possible for Miss
Kellogg to sing after days journey when she
would have no appetite for ordinary hotel
food. A chop, or an egg, or bit of
chicken, cooked as they are not cooked in
an ordinary hotel. give her nourishment, and
she must be nourished to sing The voice is
largely dependent upon the condition of the
stomach. Patti knows this, and she will take
no risks. She has her own chef with her, and he
prepares her food just as she wants it. She is
about to 90 to Boston, and she has just sent
word to Colonel Mapleson that she won't go un-
