GO-EDUCATI0N OF SEXES.

No one questions the advisability
or propriety of co-education in pri-
mary schools. 1t exists through
out the world. 1t has been so ever
since schools were established; and
will continue to the end of time.
But it is only few years since
schools were established for CO.
education in the higher branches of
learning, IN which young men and
young women over fourteen or fif-
teen years OF age were brought to-
gether in the intimate contact of the
classroom and dining-table. The
bitterest opposition was aroused and
actively exerted against them. It is
the old story now how the theory
has developed. The correct thing to
do has gained ground, and the ma
jority of thoughtful educators are
its supporters. Still many earnest
and serious men continue to oppose
it on principle. 1t mas been shown
at Hampton and elsewhere that
with the colored races the sexes
can also be thus thrown together
with manifest advantage. For a
year school with this object In
view has been in successful opera
ton on Kauai. 1t has met with coz
siderable opposition on the ground
that moral conditions among Ha-
waiians make it impracticable here.
A letter in another column argues
in Its favor, and is well worth the |
thoughtful consideration of all.
Next Monday evening, at the Y.
NJ. c. A. parlors, General Arm
strong and others will discuss the
subject.

OFF FOR THE OLD COUNTRY l..

The Honorable Archibald S.
Cleghorn, of Scotch birth and an
cestry, President of the Scottish
Thistle Club of this city, and for
over forty years resident of Homo
lulu, left in the steamship Aus
tralia, on q four months visit to the
United States, Europe and Eng
land, not emitting the bonnie braes
and hills of old Scotland. His
daughter, VICTORIA KAIULANI, the
Princess Royal of Hawaii, now at
school at Harrowden Hall, Eng
land, is not only well and content
ed, but is making good progress IN
her studies. At q recent public
examination, she received a diploma
for merit and skill shown in piano
music. This diploma was issued
by the Associated Board Of the
Royal Academy and Royal College
Of Music, of which the Prince of
Wales is President. She will prob
ably remain in England as long as
she continues to improve in her
studies. The institution is said to
be one of the finest select schools
Of that country, receiving only a
limited number (forty) of young
ladies. Mr.. and Mrs. Theo. ii.
Davies act as advisers Of the prin-
cess, so that she has the best of
advice when needed. The hopes
of Hawaii cluster around this
promising scion of royalty, and it
is the wish of all her friends that
she may SO improve her opportu-
mites as to be able TO adorn the
throne when Providence calls her
to preside over the destinies of Her
island nation.

courage can accomplish, even by
poor Hawaiian boy.
THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

A couple of weeks ago we insert
ed an article relative to Lieut..
Peary's proposed expedition to
Greenland, to explore the northern
portion of that country. He has
since started from New York. His
expedition is attracting much
notice, on account of Its originality
in design and intention. As before
stated, Lieut.. R. E. Peary, U.S.N-,
is in command, and is accom-
panied by Professor Heilprin and
several other scientists of expert
ence. The main object of the ex-
pedition is to explore the northern
coast of Greenland, and, if possible,
to define the limitations of that
continent. The party will be taken
first to Whale Sound, discovered
by Baffin as long ago as 1916. Here
house or cabin will be erected,
and the winter will be spent in
minor excursions. In the summer
two parties will be formed, one of
which will skirt the West Green
land coast, while the other will
strike out toward North Green
land.
The fact has already been
established that the entire interior
of Greenland is occupied by won
derful mass of glacial inland ice
hundreds of feet in height and
hundreds of miles in width. 1t is
the intention of Lieut.. Peary's
party to ascend this inland ice and
to travel on its great plain by the
aid of snow-shoes where the sur
face is soft and of the Norwegian
ski (the long strips of narrow
wood which previous explorers
used instead of snow-shoes), and to
drag their supplies and tents on
sledges. Scientific and geographi-
cal observation will be the chief
objects held in view, and special
attention will be given to glacial
phenomena, zoology (on the coast)
and meteorology. 1t is hoped that
the party will attain within a dis
tance of $50 miles of the North
Pole, and it is quite possible that
even more than this may be ac-
complished. The plan seems to us
the most feasible and most care
fully perfected in detail of any that
has yet been tried, and it seems
more than likely that this expedi-
tion will determine conclusively
what may be and what may not be
possible to accomplish by Arctic
exploration in the future"

A HAWAIIAN BOY AT HAMPTON.

Gen. Armstrong IN his address
on Sunday evening referred to q
Hawaiian lad, David S. Kanuha,
formerly student at Lahainaluna
Seminary, while the late II. R.
Hitchcock was president, from
which he graduated some years
ago. He had heard of Hampton
Institution, and it was the iream
of his life to go there and perfect
his education as a mechanic; but
how to get there, across the 5000
intervening miles, was the puzzle.
Two horses comprised all his prop
erty, and these he sold for 800,
and determined to make the attempt
to reach Hampton, the goal OF his
ambition. He worked his way on
a sailing vessel to San Francisco,
there started on for the East, a
stranger in a strange land. OF
what occurred on this overland
journey of our young hero We have
not learned, only that he arrived
at Hampton and was kindly re-
ceived by its principal, and given
place in the industrial training
school, which is open to any poor
Hawaiian boy who seeks to become
a mechanic. This was four years
ago. He entered the tailoring de-
partment, working ten hours a day
and studying two hours at night.
His industry and perseverance have
gradually promoted him till now
he is at the head of the clothing
department where thousands of
suits of clothes are turned out each
month, and has developed a first
class business tact. Gen. Arm
strong hopes to secure position
for him IN Wanamaker's establish
ment in Philadelphia, which will
give him an insight into the way
the clothing business is conducted
in one of the largest houses of the
kind in the United States, after
which he may be fitted to return
md conduct q clothing store in his
,wn home and country. The story |

IN another column will be found
an article on bananas, showing the
extraordinary development of the
banana trade in the United States,
no less than 12,5S2,O0 punches
having been imported during 1890,
chiefly from Central America. Col.
Norris informs us that these Ameri-
can bananas are larger, longer and
finer favored than our Chinese
variety, and that they are to be
found in every hotel and market,
and are even invading the Pacific
States, being considered much su-
perlor to ours. What our culti-
vators should do Immediately is to
procure plants of these popular
sorts and introduce the cultivation
of them here on q much larger
scale than is now done. If we ex-
pect to retain this banana trade,
we must be up and doing, and the
sooner the better. There is a de-
mand for a million punches for the
Pacific States, and they will get
them, if not from here, then else
where.

meha Day, the lltn June, was cele-
brated as usual by races in Kapio-
lani Park and school treats and
picnics in different directions. The
racing was not anything very in
terestlng, so large proportion OF
the entries being made by one or
two stables. The tram-cars took
down 1924 people. Several picnic
parties went to Eva or interme-
diate stations by train, and others
about the country in wagonettes
and other conveyanees.
The celebration of the Fiftieth
Anniversary of the founding of the
Punahou or Oahu College assumed
quite the proportions of national
event, on Thursday, the 25th,
when a large gathering of people
assembled IN the College grounds
to witness the athletic games with
which the celebration was opened.
First, q show of cavalry drill by
twenty pupils commanded by the
Principal, and next riding at the
ring; both these exercises were
we'll carried out. After this the
usual school athletic games, and in
the evening an address by General
S. C. Armstrong, one of the original
Punahou pupils, and now Principal
of the Hampton Institute, Virginia,
=. S. A.
Her Majesty the Queen was
present, and the large church was
crowded by pupils past and present
and their friends and relatives. On
the following day the Board OF
Education closed the public schools;
the banks and those business houses
which were opened in the morning
were closed at noon, and all Homo
lulu streamed away to Punahou,
where Prof. Alexander, another old
pupil, who was subsequently the
Principal Of the College, and is now
Surveyor General Of the Kingdom,
gave most interesting historical
address, tracing the fortunes of the
school from its inception in 184l to
the present day. from which we
learn that 9O4 pupils have been
connected with the school or col
Iege; of these 796 are believed to
be living, of whom two-thirds are
settled in this Kingdom.
After the whole company-up-
wards of thousand-were regaled
at grand "luau," or feast, in the
native style, and with "reminiscences
and anecdotes, song and hearty
cheers, the assembly broke up.
Public amusements have been
somewhat scant, but the Honolulu
Athletic Club have given q very
credltable performance, and juve-
nile operate troupe instructed by
Mrs. E. Gray, rendered the pretty
little piece - Iolanthe in a highly
artistic style.

SAMUEL GOMPERS HERE.

The Great Exponent of Shorter Works Days
Will Speak at Lafayette Hall Tonight
Work of the Mining Commission-Labor
Notes.
President Samuel Gompers, of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, came to the city
yesterday. and will deliver one of the greatest
lectures of his life In Lafayette Hall to-
night on the eight-hour question. Mr..
Gompers is considerably fatigued after his
long Journey from New York to the Pacific
coast and back, but his trip has been such a
success. and the great exponent of shorter
work days has, been given so many ovations,
that his spirits have been keptu up.
Mr.. Gompers is not stopping at hotel
this trip. Upon his arrival in the city
yesterday, he was met by William Martin,
e1 Vice President of the Federation, with
whom he was associated for several years,
and at whose home he is now being enter
tanned. Mr.. Gompers endeavored, to keep
away from the reporters, preferring to wait
and do his talking tonight He fell into
their snares, however. Talking about the
coming miners fight, which is the most i'm
portant labor topic to-day, he said:
"Their strike is a certainty. 1 am afraid
the operators will be very much surprised
at our SLEeHpLu. II tuef aTc OtpcuulIS on
our inability to endure a strike to win, they
will be sadly mistaken. We have good
financial backing, and can get more if
needed. 1 am surprised that the operators
refused to entertain the very fair propo-
sitions made to them by the miners. They
asked so little, and did not insist on any but
a verbal agreement until the men could
makethe movement general. They will
discover that Colonel Rend's position would
have been the best for them to take before
thev get through"
Mr.. Gompers would not express himself
on the coke troubles nor on the coming car
penters' strike. While in San Francisco he
addressed an audience of over 10000 peo-
pie. At Denver he addressed both Houses
of the Legislature, and in nearly all of the
cities visited the meetings were presided
over by the Mayors. Mayor Gourley will
not allow the record to be broken. Great
preparations have been made for the meet
ing tonight 1t will be attended by large
number of business men and manufactur-
ers, to whom special invitations have been
sent.
Mr. Gompers will go directly from here to
New York, where he will arrange for an
Inauguration of the eight-hour movement
May 1.

Referring to the matter yesterday President
O'Neil said: Before we are many hours older
King will sign an agreement which will bind
him to Pittsburg. This is certain Who Will
we release? Well, we cannot keep more than
four pitchers and we look upon King. Staley,
Stratton and Baldwin as first-class. That, of
course, means that Maui. Smith. Calvin and

row will prove beneficial. They seem to be
doing well. but it will require an immense
amount of practice to put them in proper con-
dition. AS to individual work, some of them
are progressing much faster than others, but
the rudiments have yet to be mastered. AS to
to the makeup of the crew cannot say, for

JACKSONVILLE, April 13.-Five hun
dred people saw the game of ball between
Cleveland and Pittsburg to-day.
Pittsburg was not in it. Their ambition
was batted out in the first inning and Cleve-
land had picnic.
That portion of the mundane sphere in
closed in the fence was wiped up with them.
Rigid practice of Cleveland handicapped
them. From the first the heavy batting of
the Clevelands knocked the Pittsburaers
out and thereafter playing was merely me-
chanical. They haven't gotten their eyes
vet and the Clevelands had a walk over.
Young did well in the box, while several
in each club did fine batting, one sphere
going over the fence. Several two-base hits
were made The weather is delightful and
both clubs are in fine trim, good health and
spirits; II to was the score. The score:

FITZsIMMoNs AND SMITH
The Denver Mans Backer Wants to Meet
the Australian To-Day.

Bob Fizsimmons, the champion middle
weight puglist arrived in the city last evening
He was not surprised that Halls hackers had
declined to match the latter to fight him, Fitz-
simmons. The champion is in excellent condi-
tion and is willing to fight any man for the
middleweight championship providing the
purse or stakes are worth fighting for. He
does not object to meet Ed Smith, if the latter
can secure sufficient backing to make it worth
while training for a championship contest. He
expects to arrange a match with Ted Pritchard
this year.
Regarding the challenge of Ed. Smith to
fight Fitzsmmons, the hacker of Smith said
last evening: II want Fitzslmmons to state
definitely whether he will fight Smith for 81. 600
a side in private, under London prize ring
rules, or for that amount and purse under
Queensberry rules. Smith may be able to
secure stake of 81, 500 side. At any rate if
Fitzsimmons declines to make a match with
Smith the latter will certainly claim the cham
pionshIp.'
Smiths forfeit is still at this Office, and his
hacker wants to meet Fitzsimmons here this
afternoon, TO see what can be done toward
making match.

down to systematic training, but as his general
health was never better, and as he has very lit

work ahead of him, and is confident that he
will dispose of Bowen in short order. Myer

whom he said:
'Since the unsatisfactory ending Of our first
meeting at North Judson have spent 81 900 in
cash, not to speak of months of valuable time,
trying to get on match with him. have
several times gone to New York and hung my
money over his own door, but every time he
has either evaded the issue or crawled. We
succeeded after hard work in getting him to
commit himself to match and post a forfeit
with Bud Renaud. binding him to meet me at
New Orleans and it looked as though my hopes
were about to be realized, but he funked again
and his hackers are now crying to get their
money back. Pm disgusted with McAuliffe,
and the next time he talks fight to me the peo-
pie in the immediate vicinity will see bit of a

A rumor was current among local amateurs
yesterday that the baseball club of the ALE
gheny Athletic Association had resolved to not
be connected with the A. A. U. contests. If
any such course has been resolved upon it is
very foolish as team representing the associa-

before the amateur world. Even il the team
was beaten that would be no disgrace. this
being Its first year. There must be a beginning

Counterfeit Notes Are Small.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat. !
All counterfeit notes are smaller than
Government bills. Government plates are
made little larger than the finished notes
to allow for the shrinkage of the paper. In
counterfeiting money a new note is pasted
on polished steel plate and transfer paper
placed over 1t. The work is then traced
with fine pencil. The bills made when
damped shrink, and are therefore trife
smaller than the genuine.
