Children's Day Observed.

The observation of Children's day 10y
the Methodist Episcopal church of this
city was unusually elaborate and sue
cessful, The Sunday school had charge
OF the exercises and everything was
carried out with beautiful symmetry
and TO the pleasure Of the large congre-
cations.
The morning sermon was shortened
TO brief talk, following which Rev.
Mayor administered the rite of baptism
to a number of converts and received
into the church 25 probationers. In
the evening the regular Children's day
service occupied the time. The large
auditorium was beautifully decorated
with flowers, the pulpit being a mass
OF blossoms. The audience crowded
the room, many being unable to gain
admission. The superintendent, A, Il.
Bishop, conducted the service and the
perfection of the arrangements reflected
much credit upon both himself and his
coworkers, The chief portion of the
program was an elaborate symbolical
exercise called the League Of Honor. A"
A beautiful pyramid was built up
before the audience, the various por.
tions bearing suitable honor notices.
The exercises were the best ever given
by the church on Children's Day.
The leland M. L, Sunday school west
of town held Children's day exercises
yesterday. The house was filled and
the children all acquitted themselves
with credit, The school was organized
only a month ago and Is doing good
work,

ThE PROPER TITLE.
A wife should Apply Only "Mr" to Her
Husbands Name.

Husbands Name.
In speaking of her husband, says a
correspondent of the Pittsburgh Dis
patch, Il woman never makes u mistake
II she calls him "Mr." or my husband" "
1t is sometimes difficult TO decide when
her husband has title just what the
wife should do with it. This is the Sc
verest rule, In speaking of her hus-
band she should not say Gen. A." or
"Dr. b. but simply "Mr. A." "Mr.
H." No matter what he is--judge, gov
ernor, captain-to her he is and should
be plain "Mr, A." Mrs. Grant never,
even when her husband was president,
spoke of him other than Mr., Grant,
though il is the custom of the prcsi-
dents wife to speak of him as 1.-THE pres
ident"
The one exception TO this rule of ig-
noring her husbands official or profes-
sional title is when the wife presents
him 10 anyone else. Then she says
my husband, Senator smith, or sim.
ply "Dr. Jones" The reason for this is
evident II give the proper clue to the
stranger, who would wish, of course, TO
address the new acquaintance with the
proper title.
Last of all, let any wife take heed
how she wears her husbands title and
allows herself TO be spoken of as Mrs
Gov. Jones" or "Mrs. Secretary Smith. f"
No matter what title her husband has,
she has no more right 10 wear IL than
she has 10 wear her hushRRd's shUeA

THE GOLDEN BELT.
Wheat Harvest Commences in the
States Granary.


Tie spreading wheat fields will soon
be robbed of their wealth, Harvest
began in earnest today throughout this
section of the state and the magnificent
yield of the Golden Belt will soon be
garncred. Never since the old wheat
king times when railroad trains slowed
up to see +. Q. Henry 5000 acre wheat
fields has here been more bountilul
harvest. Dickinson county is almost n
continuous wheatlieli aud on every
hand IL the grain rank, even aud
heavily filled.
The farmers Of Kansas will gather
one Of thn largoat-if not TIE largest
wheat crop that was ever raised IN tie
state. Different estimates place thr
Yield Vt from thirty tO forty bushels
per acre, but probably more conserya
tive estimate would give it at about
twenty-five, which, We think, is safer
to say In order to be on the sure side,
and not Overestlmating it before it ia
threshed, thus causing very bitter
disappointment sometimes when the
exact yield Is asccriained. II ouy
farmers ever had an opportunity tpI
feel elated over their bright prospects,
IL is certainly this year and the one
who does not raise the mortgage from
his farm with what he will realize
from Lis wheat crop Is either too indo
lent to ever be successful or too
Indifferent for the good of his own
welfare.

AT THE LEGATION.

From 3 to $50 o'clock in the
afternoon His Excellency j. L..
Stevens, the American Minister
Plenipotentiary, held o public
reception in his hospitable
home ON Nuuanu street. The
house was beautifully decorated
with flowers and vines, and the
flags of many nations, loaned by
Capt. Watson: of the Flagship San
Francisco, were tastefully festooned
upon the front piazza. Our resi-
dent American families were large
ly represented among the guests,
and Minister Stevens and the la
dies of his household received the
visitors with their usual grace and
dignity. The members of the Ha-
waiian Cabinet were present, as
were also many naval officers from
the Flagship San Francisco. Re-
freshments were served most pro-
fusely, and everybody seemed to
be in a happy frame of mind and
ready to partake Of the genial
Minister'S hospitality on the next
anniversary ofAmerican Independ-
ence.

ton of the audience made as much
noise as they possibly could for
the Hawaiis.
1t was expected that the Ha-
waits would have a number of new
players to face the public, but only
two were noticed. They played
we'll, in fact, the players exhibited
more life than they have shown
during the present season.
The Crescent boys did not put
up their usual strong game, but
played in big luck all through the
nine innings they made hits that
were always at the right time and
earned five of their seven runs.
1t was a great victory for the
boys to take game from the nine
that has defeated them in two pre-
vious contests, but they did not
strictly deserve to win, as the Ha-
waits out-batted and out-fieided
them at every point of the game.
Palmer Woods pitched the ball
trifle wild at times, but otherwise
his work was good.
Pryce caught we'll, and threw
the ball accurately to bases.
Thompson at first, played in am
excellent manner; he fielded the
ball in professional way and was
effective at the bat. The other
members of the nine filled their
positions well. The base running
of the Hawaiis was feature of the
game.
THE CREsCENTs.
The best individual game was
played by the favorite of the
juvenile fraternity-Percy Lish-
man; he batted, and fielded well,
and. did not seem to have that Off
day touch that Lionel Hart dis
played throughout the game The
sturdy little third baseman dis
tinguished himself chiefly in the
ninth inning when he captured two
difficult flies while on the run. -
William Wilder, Esq, came very
near queering himself with his girl
friends by making an error now
and then, but he redeemed himself
in the eight inning by making a
brilliant double play.
Angus was not in good form, and
was touched freely for base hits
he received fair to good support
from Willis.
Center-fielder Thrum deserves
). credit for the successful way in
which he backed up second base
and for other good work. Score:
