ing. Money is not thrown away on their
education"
Mr.. Hudson referred jokingly to the st.
Louis convention, and then continued:
81 hope that the members OF this
exchange viii rot forget the annual dues.
We need money 10 carry out our plans Tor
the coming year"
Mr.. Hopkins protested that he did not
mean TO say that money spent on the
training school is thrown away. he
merely des lred to make the point that the
course is not sufficiently comprehensive.
Frederick Markham was called upon
for remarks, but contented himself with
commenting upon the good reputation
that the members of the exchange had
always sustained for sobrlety.
Mr.. Furlong was the next speaker.
q i can talk best,n he said, "when am
addressing a debtor with some hope of
recompense. In my own experience find
that some members of the exchange be-
come disgruntled with the insufficiency
OF plans and specifications. We are al
ways ready to do anything reasonable, but
we must draw the line at obedience
to improper specifications. We will not
be bulldozed into doing everything that
unjust specifications may require. We
are asked to do much that we are not
paid for. Another thing. No man in
this exchange should employ an appren-
tice who has left the employ of another
member OF the exchange without just
cause"
The Buiiding Law.
Mr.. Hemingway spoke briefly upon the
building law. "It ought to be improved
at once" said he. Better STILL we should
have a new law. Architects should not
be obliged to go into the detail OF con-
struction so much. The architects
province is to design and the mechanics
is to construct. Architects and builders
should go hand in hand. Regarding the
manual training school, every carpenter
should know the strength of oil materials.
The same with masons and iron workers.
In that way we will bring our work to a
higher standard. Builders, as well as
architects, have rights"
Franklin p. Hathaway said he was very
disappointed at being called upon. He
had always tried to take an interest in the
exchange The exchange is whatever the
members make ii.
. Frederick II. Shaw referred To the sewer
branch of the builders trade, but did not
desire to make extended remarks.
Mr.. Barker spoke briefly upon the water
question. Providence is the head center
of the artesian well business. The filtera-
tion question Is one that interests us
deeply. The annual water consumption
per capita is 60 gallons. Artesian wells
are the solution of the water problem.
The meeting adjourned after an ex-
change OF pleasantries and greetings.

STEVENS UPHELD
BY the Testimony OF Former Missionary
to Hawaii.

to Hawaii.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s--While nothing
can be known definitely as to the proceed
ings of Senator Morgan's committee yes
terday there is excellent reason for sup
posing that the questions asked covered a
wide range of information, and that
among other points sought TO be devel-
oped by the committee were the facts as
to the labors of the missionaries on the
islands.
DIR. Emerson stood out stoutly for the
missionaries and their government, de-
Tending them as men of intelligence and
moral character, while the natives were
pictured as good natured but as class
without ambition. The tenor OF the tes-
timony was of character calculated to
show the superiority of the provisional
government TO that Of the deposed queen.
IL is understood that Senator Frye
pushed DIR. Emerson closely for informa-
tion which would be calculated TO sustain
Minister Stevens in his acts connected
with or succeeding the revolution, and
that he succeeded in securing some very
strong statements which Senator Gray
found IL impossible 60 break the force of.
In fact, his entire testimony was calcu-
cnlated to sustain the provisional govern
ment and to justify the conduct of Mr..
Stevens in every way.
DIR. Emerson was before the committee
for about two hours, and when the hear
ing had been concluded the committee ad-
journed until next Tuesday, when Pro-
fessor Alexander, surveyor general of the
Sandwich Islands, will lie examined.
Senator Frye made an effort TO have the
hearings public but failed

THE BEST SHORT STORY
SUGGESTIONS.

Any idea whether of truth fiction available for the
making of good story
The theme chosen will have much do with the
of the narrative. f
In selecting topic keep in view the possibilities of
picturesque dramatic narrative A good story may be
made from very commonplace material providing the
ment is artistic.
Every mind contains some thought that will make
story Every boy and girl possesses the instincts of author
ship in greater lesser degree Give those instincts
raj development and the story writer is born.
Remember that the best stories based simple IA
miar thngs-every day incidents. Emerson has reminded
that to tell what all insnctively know genius.
Avoid what c. lied "hne writing" If story worth
the telling it best told in the simplest language tragedy

The motive which Prawda is supposed
to have had is this: Mrs. Meyers will
leaves her property, amounting TO about
$1,000, to her three daughters, one of whom
is Prawda's wife, TO be divided equally
Prawda was in need Of money, and is be-
lieved to have shot his mother-in-law so

RENOVATION is what spring needs.
Il is what spring means. Nature re-
moves the waste, the decay, the un-
healthy and resurrects a new life. In
millions of ways it proclaims its work.
Mankind has gone far from the valleys
that the poets could describe without
damage to the enternals verities'
People have built cities and congre-
gated nuisances, have multiplied
diseases, and put drug stores in every
yFeeinct and hospitals in every section
have wondered why there was sick
ness on the first floor when there was
aampness in the cellar and uncleanli-
ness in the back yard. Why don't they
Aean up in the spring? Clean the
whOle house. Clean the streets.
Clean the sewers. Clean the cesspools
Clean every place so that If the chol-
ara comes it will not have lodging
place 10 tarry over night. The spring
aleaning is not mere habit or
Muaple custom. 1t is a hygienic
necessity. So clean soon and clear
well, and remember that upon you
cleaning may depend the health o
your whole family.
