KAwAIAHAO SEMINARY.

This school for girls was opened about
twenty-five years ago in the old Clark
premises. Rev. Halsey Gulick and wife
labored faithfully in it for a few years,
when they were succeeded by Miss Lydia
Brigham, (now Mrs. Coan) who brought
it up from little family school to sue
cessful boarding school for native girls
But the chances for usefulness and for
the best development were curtailed by
the cramped character of the buildings.
A few years ago the school was put
under the care of trustees selected by the
Hawaiian Board, and since then have
the present large and commodious build
ings been erected. Still the high char
acter to which the school has attained,
could not have been reached had it not
been for the noble character and self
denying labors of the various ladies who
have from time to time constituted the
corps OF teachers. At present there are
about one hundred and twenty pupils in
attendance, and sight of their fresh
faces and robust health will convince all
that the school is doing its share toward
developing the future mothers of Hawaii.
Ever since the school has been in ex-
isteHce there has been one defect of an
unavoidable nature. The children have
necessarily been put into few dorma-
tories together. In case of illness the
sick child, except in extreme cases, has
continued to occupy her bed with the
others. 1t must be admitted that more
unhygienic condition could hardly exist.
Yet it was no fault of the Board or of
the teachers. 1t was because the school
was too poor to afford an infrmary.
Now the needed addition is being put on.
A hospital cottage is being erected. 1t
contains commodious and well venti-
lated sick ward, with bath and attend
ants rooms But this cottage costs
money, and the pupils of the school,
under the able leadership and direction
of Miss Patch the music instructor, pro-
pose to help pay the bill. For this pur-
pose they have for several weeks been in
training for concert.
This concert was to have taken place
last Friday at the Kawaiahao church,
but owing to the inclement weather it
has been postponed to Thursday evening,
March 18th, at 7 80 o'clock.

The Club Stables.

Anyone passing down Fort street can
not fail to notice the whereabouts OF the
new livery and boarding stables. They
are known as the Club stables, and are
fitted up in the neatest manner. There
are forty stalls and accommodate on for
large number of carriages. The stables
run six hacks which are of latest style
and very easy to ride in. By the bark
Discovery twenty-five horses were i'm
ported from the Coast They are all fine
serviceable animals. The intention of
the proprietors is to keep about thirty
horses. All the carriages are new, and
wagonettes, road carts, dog carts, single
and double teams can always be OBJ
tanned. The saddle horses are extra fine
imported animals. A practical horse
trainer is engaged on the premises, and
is an expert in handling and breaking
young stock. Horses are boarded by the
day, week or month at reasonable rates.
Should you keep team there and re-
quire it any hour OF the day or night, or
want it fetched from your house, the
Club Stables guarantee to perform this
kind of work in the most satisfactory
manner. The whole premises are lighted
up with electricity. The stable is con-
nected with both telephones, No. AT.
Mr.. S. F. Graham is the manager.

Sister Rose Gertrude.

Among the arrivals on the Australia
was Miss Amy Fowler better known as
Sister Rose Gertrude who has come to
devote her life to the service of the
lepers. She is stopping at the Hawaiian
Hotel. Sister Gertrude who is only
twenty-seven years of age and of very
small stature, was attired in the dress of
the Order of st. DOMINIC. She is the
daughter of the Rev. F. w. Fowler an
Episcopalian clergyman near Bath, Eng
land. Seven years ago she became a
convert to the Catholic faith. She has
studied leprosy for several years. 1t is
understood from the President that the
Board of Health is anxious that Sister
Gertrude should be placed in charge of
the receiving station at Kalihi, but
nothing as yet has been decided.
Accompanying her was Miss Winifred
Sweet, correspondent sent by the San
Francisco Examiner to report on the
success of Sister Gertrude's mission and
reception, and on the condition of the
lepers. A truthful narration based on
facts and observation, showing what the
Hawaiian Government has done and is
doing for its unfortunate wards, can do
no harm, and if truthfully told, can only
reflect credit on it.

A Heavy Storm.

Early Friday morning it commenced
to rain in earnest and between the hours
Of 7 and 10 80 o'clock it literally poured
down in torrents. The Nuuanu valley
stream was much swollen, while Fort
street was so flooded with water that
miniature boats we're sailed down it.
This was quite a bon;...Aa to business
men and their assistants for scarcely any
business was done, and it helped to pass
the time away. The large yard in rear
of H. May & Co.'s premises looked like
lake, and many houses in the lower
part of the city were flooded. Water, in
fact, was standing around everywhere.
The tramcar track on Beretania street
by Thomas square, and beyond, was so
thickly covered with mud that the cars
suspended running for several hours.
No trains were run on the Oahu Railway
Company's line during the day owing to
two washouts, which however are not
serious. Superintendent Ashley says he
never saw the water SO high in the coun-
try as it was on Friday. When it goes
down repairs will be effected. The three
men-of-war vessels in the harbor housed
the top gallant masts, and the merchant
vessels were more strongly secured. The
water in the harbor was very choppy
and of very dirty color. The roar Of
the surf could be heard quite distinctly
all over town. The rain eased up for a
short time in the afternoon, but shortly
after 6 O'Clock in the evening it came
pouring down again, and it was a miser-
able night.
