The Golden Gate Valley.

In the afternoon the Christ as festival
was celebrated at the Golden Gate Valley
kindergarten, on Union street, near Oc-
tavia. This is the most recently organized
garten of the Golden Gate Association, be-
ing no more than thirteen weeks old. Its
existence is due to the enterprise and en-
ergy of its confident young teacher, Miss
Anna Arnold, for she started IL single
handed.
AT the exercises yesterday she had as
many as tbirty-niae children in the circle,
and their discipline reflected great credit
upon their kindly, enthusiastic instruc-
tress. This WAS so apparent that Miss
Harriet Cooper. who was one of the visit
ing committee, could not refrain from
sounding Miss Arnold's praises in few
well-chOsen words. Miss Cooper re-
marked the wonderful progress OF the
school for the short time II had been in
existence, and commended the teacher as
being worthy the very best encourage
ment.
Miss Arnold was assisted by Misses
Josie Shaw, Xena Roberts and Lena
Terry. Miss Roberts pres ided at the
piano.
OF the features on the programme, the
ring song. the Song of Welcome" LIPS,
Say Good-m0rning, also finger song,
and CLAP, Clap" Christmas piece, were
all quite DrettiIy re- dered. The children
showed much aptitude in the play of the
Mother Lizard and the Little Lizards
Four"
Already the diminutive innocents have
learned to distinguish the different colors
very well. and each gave collection of six
cards OF various tlnts TO the fond mother
present. 1rrmpets aud dolls were the
principal gifts to the little ones.
The other ladies of the visiting CON-
mittee, besides Miss Cooper. were Mes
DANES ID. W. Folger. Alfred B. Ford and
Charles Il. Storey. a3d Miss Hattie Horn.
Besides these. Mrs. Arnold, Mrs. Roberts,

Royalist ISLANDERS of Mr.. Cleveland

In an interview printed in the Boston
Globe, Mr.. Lorrin a. Thurston, the
representative at Washington of the
Hawaiian Provisional Government, says:
''The sentiment in favor Of annexation is
growing stronger and stronger on the island
Notwithstanding the many statements to the
contrary, there is a constant accession from the
ranks Of the native Hawaiians.
"The present Government is stronger hnan-
cially, morally and physically than 1t ever was.
The only thing 5ohieh keeps the RoydhstS to-
gcthcr is the frequent reitydtioR Of the state
ment that President CicveiaHd is going to
restore the Queen. They know that if this &C
ours it will go hard with the Annexationists,
and are holding off through fear OF the conse-
quences.
The chief strength OF the Hawaiian
Royalists and their American sympa
thizers is their fertility of invention.
Seldom has a plain situation been mis-
represented more simultaneously. But
fallen throne cannot be repaired with
lies. When Mr.. Cleveland has received
from Mr. Blount an account Of the
latter's mission and of the state of affairs
and of public opinion in the Islands,
we may look for declaration of the
policy of the administration in regard
to annexation. We trust that that
policy will be thoroughly American
but whatever course Mr. Cleveland may
pursue in the matter, it cannot be
pleasant to him to know that his name
is used, most unjustifably, as the prof
of royalty in Hawaii. He is not re
sponsible, to be sure, for the lies of the
failing and malignant Royalists, anc
nothing could be more absurd than tht
pretence that the United States Gov
eminent would figure as the restorer o
a monarchy; but the sooner this polio.
in regard to Hawaii is disclosed, tn
quicker will his Royalist ISLANDERS b.
discredited.-M Y. Sun

Spreckels in Full Sight.

By gradual process of elimination
and evolution, Mr.. Claus SpreckeIs OF
San Francisco has become the principal
figure in the opposition to the honor
able acquisition of Hawaii by the
United States He is likewise the
chief advocate of the restoration of
Queen Liliuokalani.
Nordhoff is of little account He
discredited himself with the nib of his
own pen. Even SpreCkels, who has
used the newspaper writer for all that
he thought he was WORTH has appar-
emily come to the conclusion that the
period of Mr.. Nordhof's usefulness to
the cause OF royalty and sugar mono
nopoly is about over.
Claus Spreckels is an able man he
has made a good deal of money He
is an ambitious man, and wants to
make a good many millions more.
Although he has doubtless acquired
American citizenship, as means to
an end, it has never been positively
ascertained that there is a single drop
of true American blood in the whole
body of Spreckels. His heart beats
warmly for Spreckels ; for Spreckellan
monopoly in the matter of refined
sugar on the Pacific coast for Spreck
elan control of the Hawaiian Crown
lands, and the gates which let into the
the Islands Asiatic cheap labor for a
Spreckelian monarchy, with Spreckeis
as the power behind the throne,
Such is the real attitude OF the plot
ter and schemer whom some Amerl-
cans at the beginning believed to be
at the bottom of the annexation move
ment. That suspicion was enough to
discredt the idea OF annexation IN
their minds, but 1t was not well found
ed. as everybody now knows. There
never was more ludcrous mistake.
Spreckels is against republican lnstltu-
tions in the Islands, and for monarchy,
to the extent of every dollar already in
his pocket, and every dollar his mer
cenary imagination sees floating in the
air
This gentleman, whose very name
when falsely connected with the Pro
yisional Government and the idea o.
annexation, was enough to set cautious
men a thinking is now out OF AMBUSH
and in full sight of the An rlcar
people. He is the next friend IT The
Queen, and he would be the principa
beneficiary by her restoration. HI
has come back from Honolulu to Sal
Francisco "to see what Presiden
Cleveland will do" 1t is he that des
cribes the members of the Provislona
Government as "adventurers. 1t
he that sneers at the missionaries,
meaning the children of America VIII
have given to Hawaii civilization, pros
perity, love of free government, an,
the possibility of glorious future
is he that predicts the restoration g.
the Queen, even "if blood has to flow,
1t is he, Spreckels, that will do all h
can to prevent annexation and to Sc
up Liliuokalani again as a SPreckelia
potentate.
In considering the present and com
ing phases of this most important AM
interesting question Of Hawall'S destiny
be sure to place Mr.. Claus Spreckel

Wanpole's
Tasteless
Preparation
Cod Liver Oil.

1t aims to cure Consumption,
Hits the Mark, too, and it
most effectually breaks Colds,
Coughs, Hoarseness and all
Throat and Lung troubles that
cause this disease.
1t is natural logic to conclude
that if WAMPoLE's PREPARATION
OF COB Liver OIL has power
to prevent Consumption, it sure
ly is able to cure these lesser
emergencies.
This making, fat pro-
ducing preparation is Absolute
ly Tasteless, in SO far as Cod
Liver Oil is concerned. All
you notice is a delightful flavor
Of Wild Cherry and Anise.
But the purest Norwegian
Cod Liver Oil is there all the
same. 1t is great blood en-
richer. Best of all it is a natu-
raj food that in its stomachic
effects, actually assists its own
assimilation.
In Pulmonary or Bronchial
troubles it is unequalled. Nc
one doubts the value of Cod
Liver Oil, but not every one is
able to take it.

HAD A SHINE ALL AROUND.


"A BOOtbl8Ck Knows y Kind Man Wh6n He
Secs One.
The Italian boys whose familiar cry
of "Shine, boss?" is heard on all the
ferryboats, are sometimes very clever
in their methods of extending the
trade. A well-dressed, middle-aged,
prosperous-looking man boarded q
South Brooklyn boat for New York
one afternoon lately. his shoes display
ing variegated assortment of Brook
lyn dirt and dust. He nodded to a
bootblack who regarded his customers
shoes critically, observed that the Gus
toner was a good-natured-lookin
man, and said persuasively:
''Catcha da plenta mud, boss. Dis-a
shine ten-a cent. Eh?"
The customer said all right. A little
boy, five or six years old, edged away
from a sister twice his age, who had
him in charge, and watched the shin
ing operation with great interest The
man was evidently interested in the
boy, and the bootblack noted that in
stantly. When the bootblack's first
job was finished the man and boy had
formed very friendly acquaintance.
"Let me give-a da boy da shine," said
the bootblack.
This pleased the man and amused the
boy.
''Now, who is your mother?" was one
of the questions Of the boy.
His mother is dead, SIR" said the
sister.
''Ah, poor little chap!'' exclaimed the
man.
The bootbIack regarded the girl out
of the corners of his eyes. gave a glance
at the man, finished the boys shine
and said:
"Let-a me give-a da lady da shine,
boss?''
Certainly, certainly" exclaimed the
man, and the girl laughed SO much over
the operation that the man was too
well pleased to remember that any
change was due from the quarter he
gave the bootblack.-N. Y. Sun.
