EDRfoR Sr. TAxxAxY FAsx1s:
Sir The correspondence in yonr
last weeks issue. signed g. r. e.
lie. 10 simply prsvarication from be-
ginning I" end. which. il necessal y.
can be testified BY patrons Of our
school Of both sexes. -s
The Rev. gentleman said: III
Teaching children to have prop
er regard for truth. morality and
their Creator. and requesting them
to abstaiu from profanity. is iDstill-
ing my spiritual thoughts into their
minds. I am gailty."
This is prevsrication. The pat
runs Of Liberty School do not OBJ
iect. hat expect him 10 teach the
above; hnt wfst they do object to.
lie omits, viz: the introduction Of
religion.
II answer to my second question
he said that one Of the gentlemen
WHO met him was not . patron OF
the echoo!.
Here be tells 40 nntruth, or it ia
due 10 bis ignorance.
A. TO the Rev. gentleman. rsis-
ing his hand above the heads al The
people coming down tho steps aud
orononncing that awful curse. it is
literally true. which can be proved
by ladies and gnEtlsnen present on
that occasion.
Even in the Rev. gentleman =
prevaricat.,j statement he acknOwl-
edges to have prophesisd the curse
Of God on those who closed the
doors on bin.
He also says. there are only three
or fonr patrons Of tue school who
objscte" 70 the use Of the Bible.
This. Mr.. Editor. 10 prevxricat;"n
again, there being y ttwsnty-onel
pstrons who signed q petition t'
the Public School Board 0tjecting
70 The same.
The Rev. gentleman told the
committee appointed to see hmm.
that he merely read 2 ar Is v-:s-s
f'"m the Bible. which afterwards h.
explained to the children. What
ID this. but = short sermon? have
heard long sermons preached on
one verse. and good ones at that.
He .lso acknowledges that he pray
I'd - long ~ the spirit moved him.
and he could not help it IL this ;,
secular school? He likewise ad-
United in bis correspondence that
he read the Bible sn.i would cun-
tinne to do 81. ~ long NJ be is
teaching any school Thus he sn~
he is not teaching n secular schc"l
The Rev. gentleman asserts that
three or fonr gentlemen requested
him 10 throw the word Of God
aside. This also il prsv.rication
The rule quoted by Mr.. Ellis
from the Public Schnol Code is the
highest on him. and that even is n
condemnation Of his practice.
Yon will note. Mr.. Editor. that
in the Rev. gsntleman's CORE.
srondencs there are several gram
N stical errors. which ! :l,onld not
have expectad from a public school
teacher. Respectfully yours.

HE-cAPTURED THE WIDOW

He sazs.l around the cheerful
a"L comfortable looking apartment.
Then addressing the widow he
said:-
"Your husbands been dead over

"A misst atement Of facts:"

a better home. H. my opinion
il would be impossible for him to
ind more charming aud tiesir.bIs
home than this.
The widow smiled sweetly, then
he popped and was accepted.

Death of Mr.. T. r. Foster.


Advices received by the 8. S. Mari
posa state that Mr. Thomas R. Foster,
of Honolulu, died at the Occidental
Hotel, San Francisco, on Tuesday,
August Goth last, of heart disease.
Deceased was born in Pictou, Nova
Scotia, on May 10, 1885. He first en-
gagged in shipbuilding, in company with
his brother Daniel, at Warren, Rhode
Island. The two brothers came to
Honolulu in 1857, and commenced a
shipbuilding yard on the premises now
occupied by Messrs. Sorrenson & Lyle,
near the Fish Market. Mr.. Foster, a
good many years ago, married Miss
Mary Robinson, "a sister of Hon. NJ. P.
Robinson). She survives him, but no
children were born of the marriage.
About ten years ago deceased did a
great deal toward the organization and
promotion of the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Company, and was finally
elected President of that syndicate,
which position he held up to the time of
his death. Being a resident of Homo
lulu for thirty-two years, MIR. 7. r.
Foster was one of the best known of our
city magnates, and most of his enter
prises on the islands were attended with
success. He was far-seeing and keen
