SLOW BUT SURE.

At the meeting of the Executive
and Advisory Councils on October
5, report of the military committee
was adopted, which recommended,
with other reductions in the ex-
penses, that future enlistments Of
privates should be at lower rate of
wages than mad hitherto prevailed.
The Minister of Finance on October
l9 reported from the Executive that
q reduction Of Sl345 mouth had
been made i'll the cost Of the mill
tary, His figures showed a reduc-
tion III the number of privates,
which would probably stop new en-
listments for some time. However,
since that time it has been reported
that the forces were being increased
instead of reduced in number. In
pected that the order of the Coln-
ellis for a reduction in the pay of
privates should have been put into
effect. But at yesterdays session it
transpired that the Executive had
only just decided TO put the order
in force. When the Attorney-Geu-
eral had reported this action, it was
discovered that the amount of re-
duction in privates' pay was not on
record. So the Councils solemnly
authorized the Executive to do what
they had empowered it to do over
two months ago, "Slow but sure
would seem to be the motto Of the
Provisional Government in matters

THEY SING LIKE BIRDS.
Misses Albu Charm a Large Au-
dience at the Opera House.

They came, they sang, they con-
quered. That is what may be said
of the visit of the young English
sopranos, the Misses Albu, to Homo
lulu. Each and both of them re-
ceived a perfect ovation at every APP
pearance in the Opera House last
night. And well they might. Such
singing it is not the privilege Of Ho-
uolulu people to hear once in year
Nature has given these young
ladies remarkably fine voices, and
cultivation has given them rare
grace and power in using their
voices. Their enunciation is as near
perfection as possible. Every note
is clear as bell, every word comes
honest to the ear. Withal the Misses
Albu have charming stage pres
ence- Julie being tall and willowy,
Rose plump with girlish playfulness.
Miss Julie sang Sing Sweet Bird
by CAM, after the opening overture
by the orchestra. The way she
vocaliZed the long trills, in birdlike
tones and without a flaw, sent the
house into raptures. In response to

applause as she retired Miss Rose
captured the audience with the first
notes of Dear Heart" which she
sang with uncommon richness OF
voice. She responded to an enthu-
siastic recall with "Comin thro' the
rye" rendered archly and sweetly,
For the ending of the first part the
sisters sang the duet, Hear me Nor
ma" from Bellini's opera Norma.
They gave it in the original Italian,
and the blending Of their voices was
exquisite, The harmonies were per
fectly sweet, fascinating to all ears,
There was an irrepressible recall that
repeated bows of the ladies would
not satisfy, and the curtain was
raised while they repeated the last
verse,

There is u suspicion abroad that
the action of the Councils yesterday
was iusligated by Tnurslon's policy
Of the +, G.'s retirement to an i'm

upon being pressed by the forces
OF the | nlteu States. 1t makes little
difference now whether few or any
of the Councillors we're posted on
the real reason for the vote demand
ed by the ruling organizations out
side. The policy in question would
involve a removal OF all portable
assets i'll advance, and loyalty to the

in answer to the inevitable encore,
Loves old sweet song," in both OF
which she more than held the de-
lighted esteem won in her previous
efforts. Miss Rose Albu sang AN
gels Serenade," by Braga, violin
obligato being finely played by Mr.,
Barsotti. The Unsuitable house cried
for more, and Miss Rose gave the
Japanese idyllic ballad, She Stoops
to Conquer, with delightful
naivete that again brought down the
house. As inale, the sisters sang
the duet, "Maying," by Alice May
Smith. 1t was superbly executed,
with lucid expression, clear enuncia-
ton, pure melodies and perfect har-
monies The audience retired full
of enthusiasm, with the waves of
angelic music yet tingling in their
ears They seemed to hurry away,
as if fearing that Hawaii Ponoi,"
though we'll played by the orches-

effect produced by the charming
singers.

all particularly well played.
Next Thursday evening the Misses
Albu will give an English, Irish and
Scotch ballad concert. Owing to a
demand for seats for that event hav-
ing begun at the Opera House last
night, Mr.. Levey determined to open
the box plan forthwith. AS ballad
music leads the classic in popularity
as yet in this community, early re
serving of seats will be the part of
wisdom. The farewell concert will
take place on the following Satur-
day evenng, SO that but two more
opportunities remain for hearing
these talented songstresses.
The United States Minister and
Mrs. Willis, besides a large number
of the most prominent residents,
were at the opening concert.

WoRrD's FAIR, CHICAGO, ILL, Oct 26.-
No award has ever been made SO gratifying
to st. Louis people and 50 justly merited
as the one given to-day by the Columbian
jury of the Worlds Fair, consisting of con-
noisseurs and chemists of the highest rank,
to the Anheuser- Busch Brewing Associa-
ton. BY methods of unrivalled business
enterprise, and by using the best material
produced i'll America and Europe, exclud-
ing corn and other adulterants or surro-
gates, the different kinds of the Anheuser-
Busch beer have become the favortes with
the American peorle, and have now con
quered the highest award in every partcu-
lar, which had to be considered by the
Columbian jury. The high character of
the award given to-day by the jurors will
be better understood when it is known that
the different beers exhibited by the An
heuser- Busch Brewing Association had to
compete with hundreds of the most excel
lent displays OF other brewers. The fact
that no other concern has received so
many points for the various essential quail

Some of the early kings Of France
ruled over Germany at one time when
there was no division, but when there
was separate German nation the rulers
gained many curious titles. "Fat" was

Electrolysis In Water Pipes.

A considerable amount of anxiety has
recently been caused, especially among
corporations controlling waterworks, by
the discovery that the passage of electric
cars has a tendency to seriously injure
the water pipes Of city by causing elec
trolysis At meeting of waterworks
association an electrical engineer stated
that in some cases under his observation
lead pipe had entirely disappeared by the
action of the electric current, and like
result had attended the use of iron, gal
vanized iron, brass and "rustless" pipes.
The corrosive action takes place where
the current leaves the pipe and not
where it enters it, and the phenomena
mentioned vera undoubtedly owing to
the operation of electric cars. 1t is sat
isfactory to know that should the elec-
trolysis Of water pipes become SO serious
question as it is thought by some it
may, certain remedy, although it
would increase the cost of water install
lations, would be the insulation of the
conduits. Chicago Herald.

II is not rev thing for students in
vacation to make scientific expeditions
on their OWL account, combining camp
ing and "roughing it" with congenial
study but an expedition Of the kind
which was successfully carried out dur
ing the vacation season of the present
year deserves TO be noted as Of especial
importance and significance.
A party consisting Of professor and
several students of Bowdoin college, in
Maine, organized an expedition to Lab
rador to study the vegetable and animal
growths, and otherwise to gain a scien-
tific knowledge of the country.
1t was also planned, incidentally, to
ascend the Grand river to the great cata-
ract. The Grand river flows from the
high plateau of northern Labrador, and
the falls by which it reaches the lower
level to flow into the Atlantic ocean are
among the grandest on the continent.
The Bowdoin college expedition was
fitted out at the expense of alumni and
friends of the college.
The Grand river was ascended, the
great cataract viewed and photographed
and its height ascertained, The students
who succeeded in pushing as far up as
the falls suffered many privations, but
won deserved honor in the successful
prosecution Of their enterprise.
Their achievement is good example
for other American colleges and students.
Much important information remains to
be gathered about the less known por'
tions of our continent, and geological
botanical and geological researches, faith
fully carried on, may always be made
scientifically profitable and valuable
even upon ground which has been GOV
cred before. Youths Companion.

The inventor has made the material into
sort of cuirass or breastplate intended to
be fastened to the uniform at the shoul-

pounds. The surface of the breastplate is
Of ordinary military cloth, and the resist

the probable effect of the bullets upon

the effect upon it was but slight depres-

therefore, that a soldier wearing the armor

Character In Nicknames.

When Austria was only a dukedom,
there were three rulers who won for
themselves the respective titles, Cath
olic," GLORIOUS" and "Warlike." The
first was perhaps religious man, like
Ferdinand the Catholic of Spain, The
second may have been like Lorenzo the
Magnificent, and the third great war
rior. And so from these titles or nick
names we have likewise some idea of the
conditions Of the people while these dukes
ruled.
France has had most wonderful as
sortment of kings. One was the Little and
another the Bold, One was the Stammer-
er, another Simple, while third and
fourth were Indolent and Fair. These
names are descriptive of the kings them
selves, but is hardly to be supposed that
king who was indolent or simple did
much to further the interests of his sub
iects. But when we find Robert Ii called
the Sage we realize that heruled wisely,
and that the people were better off for it.

Miss Mollie Nealson set out to fast 81
days. She had more pluck than strength,
but she managed to complete the task.
The only interesting thing in connection
with the feat is the fact that her weight
fell from 2O2 to 1854 pounds, a loss Of Il
pounds day. This would indicate that
ordinary fasting, as it is called, would
not be very efficient antifat remedy.
If Miss Nealson wishes to continue her

may yet become a public benefactor.
