Band Concert at PunahOu.

Professor Berger and his boys
made the neighborhood around
Punahou ring with music yesterday
afternoon. The visitors present were
quite numerous, and the pupils from
the Punahou Preparatory School
and the College were out in full
force.
The Royal Hawaiian Band orches-
ira played several beautiful selec-
tions on the College veranda, and
afterwards the full band moved
down to the lawn where they dis
coursed sweetest music till 5 o'clock,
making merry the hearts of both
young and old. During the after
noon, picked elevens from the
College played an exciting game
of foot ball on the College
grounds. Coffee and light re-
freshments were passed around to
the band boys, who showed their ap-
probation of Punahou hospitality by
playing with renewed vigor and
spirit. The visitors went home hav-
ing thoroughly enjoyed the concert
and wishing that concerts at Puma
hou came oftener. ARTAxERxEs.

COLOR COMBINATIONS.

Tan and dark blue, black and scar
let, yellow and brown are all effec
tive combinations.
Red and violet do not accord well.
Orange and yellow accord incom-
parably better than red and orange.
Orange and violet accord passably.
Yellow and green form an agree
able combination.
Greenish yellow and violet blend
nicely.
The arrangement of yellow and
blue is more agreeable than that of
yellow and green, but it is less lively.
Green and blue produce an indif
ferent effect, but better when the
colors are deep.
Green and violet, especially when
deep, form combination preferable
to green and blue.
Orange yellow. when placed by
the side of indigo, increases its in
tensity, and wise versa.
Red and green intensity each
other.
Yellow and indigo combine per
fectly.
Red and orange do not accord we'll.
Red and yellow accord pretty we'll,
especially if the red is purple red,
rather than scarlet, and the yellow
rather greenish than orange.
Red and blue accord passably,
especially if the red incline rather to
scarlet than crimson.
Blue and violet accord badly.
Black never produces bad effect
when it is associated with two
luminous colors.
Black and white sensibly modify
bright colors.
While gray never exactly produces
bad effect in its association with
two luminous colors, yet in most
cases its assortments are dull.
Blue, when place by the side OF
orange, increases the latter's inten
sity, and vice versa.-Roseleaf.

The Greatest Known.

Professor Horace Briggs, the well-known
educator, of Buffalo, N. Y, has arrived from
Japan. He was in Yokohama at the time of
the great earthquake, and Immediately pro
ceede1 to Nogoya and Gifu, where the shocks
were most severe. After describing the scenes
which have already been published, Professor
Briggs said:
I'm the ruin of the postoffice at Nogoya,
which was the only brick building in town.
twenty postal clerks we're buried. The men
were asserting the morning mail when the
building toppled over upon them and buried
them. Not one escaped"
Prof. Briggs went to Gifu, but the railroad
beds had been SO badly wrecked that travel
beyond was impossible. Immense crevices.
from which hot mud and steam escaped, were
TO be seen in all directions. During his stay
there Japanese, who had lost his wife in
one of the crevices, went in search of her.
and while standing on the edge of the fisure,
the earth crumbled beneath him and precipi.
tated him into the unknown depths below.
Ali of these creyices along the roadside have
since been bridged. but the danger from them
is little lessened. Professor Briggs said
g think this earthquake will be known as
one Of the most violent that has occurred
during the Christian era.

Testing the Mckinley Act.

Three cases, invoicing the constitution
atty of the Mckinley tariff act, were argued
before the Supreme Court of the United
States last week The cases were those Of
Boyd, Sutton Il Co. and Sternbach Il Co,
of New York, and Marshall Field x Co..
of Chicago, against the collectors of Gus
toms at New York and Chicago respect
lively. The cases involved three points
and were heard together by full bench.
The points raised were that the sugar
bounty clause of the Mckinley act is
unconstitutional, aud that this fact inyali-
dates the whole act; that the reciprocity
clause is delegation of the taxing power
to the President. therefore in violation of
the constitution, and this vitiates the whole
act: that the law is unconstitutional
because the tobacco rebate clause was
omitted from the bill signed by the Pres
ident.
There is still another case before the
court attacking the constitutionality Of the
act, because the bill was acted upon by less
than quorum necessary to do business,
Speaker Reed having no authority to count
as present and taking part in the proceed
ings of the House those who declined to
vote.

Governor Russell on the Democratic
Outlook.

Governor Russell of Massachusetts con-
tributes to the December number of The
Forum an explanation of the recent growth
of the Democratic party in Massachusetts,,
which, he maintains, is attributable to the
attitude of the party on the tariff and on
silver coinage. The Massachusetts Demo-
Gratis have demanded reduction in duties
on raw materials and have opposed the free
coinage of silver Governor Russell does
not say that Massachusetts is yet surely
Democratic state, but he does say that if
the national Democratic platform next year
endorses the position of the Massachusetts
Democrats on these two important points,
he thinks the state can be carried by his
party Hequotes the last Massachusetts
Democratic platform on both these subjects
and explains how in all the recent state
campaigns Democratic workers have laid
their main emphasis on these points.

Proof VS.. Assertion.

The Baltimore Herald, the best paper
for its price published, claims large cir
culation, though it is not continually max
ing extravagant claims on that point. The
american, a few weeks ago, published
some wild assertions about itself, which
every newspaper man smiled at, and the
Herald at once challenged them to a COM
parison of circulation, offering to give the
american the selection of two of commit
tee of three to inquire into the facts. The
SIN has recently INDUCED in some talk
of papers of limited circulation, and straight
way the Herald challenged the San to a
comparison of city circulation. The Heratd
offered to prove through committee of
three, two to be of the Sans staff, that the
Heralds circulation equals the Suns in
eleven wards, exceeds it in eleven wards,
and that the street sales are four times as
large as the Suns. The San failed to accept
1t Is so much easier to assert than to prove,
and the SIN prefers assertion to proof.
While on this matter of circulation it
has always seemed singular that adver-
tisers do not ascer tain what they are buy
ing when taking space in journal. 1t is
rare that they ask the circulation of a
paper, and when they do it is rarer still
they ascertain the locality of it-whether
it is spread over the universe or is concen-
trated mostly in the territory desired to
be reached. They usually pay the price
asked and trust to luck. They buy moth
ing else unless they know what they are
to get, but when it comes to space in a
newspaper they go it blind, and many thou
sands of dollars are wasted annually in
advertising bills.

The Governor of Virginia sent special
message to the Legislature on Wednesday
in reference to the oyster interests Of that
state. About the same condition of things
exists there as here in Maryland The
oyster beds have been depleted and the
production has fallen off one-half in the
last ten years. The Governor recommends
a survey and plating of the grounds and
a rental for period of ten years to the
highest bidder, also culling law, except
ing all oysters under =! inches, the pro-
lection of planters and no oystering per-
mitted, under severe penalties, between
sunset and sunrise. A revenue of So
100000 per annum, he thinks, may be
realized by the state. The interests of
tongers, dredgers and planters antagOnize
each other, and the ''oyster war" is likely
to rage as fercely there as it does here.
The cupidity of the oystermen is certain to
destroy the oysters, and any legislation to
prevent it is certain to meet with their de-
termined opposition.
