The RnYal Fiddler.

Henry Heyman the musical di-
rector" who had seemingly retired
from public notice, thereby giving us
temporary respite and an oppor-
tunity to forget him for few weeks,
has suddenly been boosted into even
greater prominence than ever by re-
ceiving the appointment of chief or
solo, violinist to His Royal Highness
the King of the Cannibal Islands!
This eminent distinction comes
rather late, as / believe it is several
years since his Highness heard the
artist fiddle. However this may be,
the King has finally rewarded the
yiolinist, who has now the proud
satisfaction Of knowing that, from a
kanaka standpoint at least, his play
ing of the violin is considered first
class and worthy OF royal recogni-
ton
This is another illustration of the
truth of the saying that "a prophet
is not without honor save in his own
country" but when a musical pro
phet is so honored, there is always
danger of exciting envy among his
acauaintances or rivals, some OF
whom, in this case, regard the affair
less in the light of an honor than as
a huge joke American Musician

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1890-07-01

YESTERDAY morning half-hOnr
was lost in a discussion which
never touched the question by any
accident. Several members re-
marked that the discussion was out
of order, but no one rose to point
of order. This is childish way of
wasting the time of the House and
is unworthy of a deliberative as
sembly composed of grown-up men.
The time of the House costs the
country nearly 800 an hour, and
1T ought not to be thrown away.
The House lacks expert parlla-
mentary tacticians. The Hon. Cecil
Brown seems to be almost the only
one, and ne probably gets worn out
calling the refractory to order.

Chinese School Exhibition.

Among the many interesting and
successful examinations and exhibit
tons of the last busy week of June
one, mot the least interesting, and
certainly the most unique), was OF
the Chinese school held on Friday
afternoon at the Chinese Y M. G. A.
building from 1 till 3 p. NJ. This
school is under the general super
vision of MIR. F. w. Damon, with his
corps of Chinese and foreign teach
ers. 1t was regularly graded at the
opening of the year 1890, and has
made great progress since.
There were present on Friday in
all the grades, one hundred and
four, of whom sixty five were boys
and thirty nine girls. The majority
were pure Chinese, but some of
mixed Hawaiian blood.
Six teachers have been employed
and the faithful painstaking work of
all was revealed by this examination.
The teachers have been Mrs. T. w.
Damon, Miss May T. Green and
Miss Mary johnson in the English
department; and Mr.. Hopui, Mr..
Kong and Mrs. Mary Chong Kim in
the Chinese. The Chinese lady
teacher is a graduate of Kawaiahao
seminary and teacher in both Ian
guages.
The programme consisting of forty
numbers and exercises were divided
between the English and Chinese
languages, SO as to produce pleas
ing variety.
In the absence of Mr.. Damon
under the pressure of the grief that
had that day fallen on him, and the
whole community as WE'LL; the di
rection of the programme was as
sumed by Miss Green and admirably
carried out. The gay Oriental cos
tunes of the little girls gave pleas
ing liveliness to the scene. The bright
faces and sparkling eyes of all the
children were beautiful to look upon
and their perfect drill and READINGS:
to recite and perform their motion
songs and exercises was charming
There were several kindergarten ex
ercises which brought forth ap
plause.
The writing on the board il
Chinese characters by three tiny
girls with laborious pains-takine
, fingers, was an interesting objec
lesson, while later on the exhibition
of rapid Chinese penmanship by thu
elder boys excited admiration.
: The reading and recitations in tn
Chinese language, in the peculia
. sing-song information of the Celestia
, Kingdom, so directly opposite t.
! good reading or speaking in
foreign tongue, revealed what al
/: extra toll it is to teach English t.
the Chinese.
&. More than one hundred of tn
F. parents and friends were present Oh
the Chinese side of the audienc
and goodly number of the whit
friends interested III the education o
: this wonderful Chinese people.
