KEALIA, KAUAI, May 4.-The
second regular Convention of the
Teschers' Association of Kauai was
held at the Government school house
at Lihue, Friday, May 18th, with a
full attendance, all the members re-
spending to their names at roll-eall
with two exceptions, both of whom
were unsvoidably detained by illness,
and sent regrets.
The programme was entirely educa-
tional and pedagogical in character,
and consisted of four numbers. Essays,
TO wit:
lst. Method of Teaching Spoken
English, by Mr.. ]. K. Burkett, Prin-
cipal of the Government school at Kc-
loa, and President of the Association,
was an exceedingly interesting paper
from a pedagogical standpoint and
was listened to with attention by the
teachers present.
2i. Primary Arithmetic, by Miss He
lene Nahum, who is first assistant
teacher at the Kekaha Government
school. This was very able article
which impressed every one who heard
it, with its originality of thought and
the many valuable suggestions it con-
tained. Copious notes of which We're
made by many of the teachers present.
The paper was read, and illustrated
upon the board, by Miss Kate Lind
say as Miss Nahum was one of the
absentees, unfortunately detained by
illness.
3rd. Practical Education, by Miss
NJ. F. Maronie, who is the life and
light of the primary department of
the Government school at Lihue.
This paper was listened to with
rapt attention by all present, and
evinced the sincerity, earnestnes5 and
whole-hearted interest in the life
work of its author; and also contained
many hints and suggestions of value
to the young teacher.
4th. A Method of Teaching Read
ing, by Mr.. c. D. Pringle of the Ha-
napepe Government school. This
closed the afternoon session, and after
dDlOlDlluS Int NdIlOus COlu uu1LlCcNy
the meeting adjourned until next
October.
Mr.. R. c. Spalding and wife. and
Mr.. Wm. Eassie of Kealia left by the
James Makee TO connect with the
Australia for brief visit to the Coast.
The steel bridge over the Wsilua
river was thrown open TO the public
on Friday, May 18th, the approaches
being finished on that day, very much
to the satisfaction of the residents of
Kauai. This is the bridge that was
purchased in Glasgow, Scotland, some
four years ago, and has laid corroding
upon the banks of the river ever
since.
The weather continues very warm
and dry, so dry that water for drink
ing and household purposes is becom-
ing q very scarce article. Especially is
this the case st Kspaa, where the
Government school is located, causing
some inconvenience and suffering to
the teachers and children of the school
and obliging the school agent to cart
all the water necessary for the use OF
the school from Kealia, a condition of
affairs that demands the immediate
attention Of the Board of Education,
as the prospects of sn immediate rain
fall are not very favorable.

- THE GRAND"
OPENING OF, SALT LAKES NEW
AMUSEMENT PALACE.
A Theatre That Will Doubtless Fill
n LOnS-FeIt Want-GOod Perform
ances at Il Very Moderate Figure.

Salt Lakers have long felt the need
of comfortable, roomy playhouse,
which could be conducted on the pop
ular prices plan, and at the same time
give to the public good, wholesome
dramatic food.
With the object of supplying this
want, the Salt Lake Amusement COM
pany was incorporated several months
ago, and the ink on the papers had
scarcely dried ere ground was broken
for the building.
The site selected was on what is pop
ularly known as the old Atwood prop
erty, near the corner of State and Sec
ond South Street-a location equally as
central as that of the Salt Lake the
atre.
There were those who were heard to
say that the new temple of amusement
would never be built; that there was
no room in the city for such an enter
prise; but this did not daunt the men
who were behind the new movement,
and they went steadily to work; and
now they have the satisfaction Of be-
holding the fruits of their enterprise.
The building is of brick, facing
south. On either side of the main en-
trance are stores, which will be Occu-
J
toner respectively. The auditorium is
most conveniently arranged, full
view of the stage being had, no mat
ter in what part of the house the
seats may be located. The slope of
the floor of the parquette, while not
too precipitiouS-aS is often the case
is of such a nature as to afford a good
view to each and every patron. and
even the dreaded female hat will be
robbed of half its terrOrs there. On
either side of the parquette is a tier
of private boxes, some eighteen in all,
and from these, also, contrary to the
general rule, good view of the stage
may be had. The chairs in the par
quette are of the latest design and are
second to none anywhere.
The balcony is also comfortably fit
ted UP, and does not hold single un-
desirable seat.
The stage is high and wide, and will
admit nearly if not quite all Of the.
scenery that is ever carried across
the continent by travelling troupes.
AS to the scenery, everything is bran
new, and it is all the work Of a home
artist, Mr.. Anderson, and the propeE-
ties are also numerous and new.
Heated by steam, lighted by cleo
tricity. and neat and clean and COM
Portable throughout, with moderate
prices for first class attractions. there
| is no reason VINO The Grand should
not achieve most marked success.
One of the most distinguishing and
at the same time praiseworthy fea-
lures, is the means provided for safe
exit in case of fire or other disaster.
| The new opera house will seat close
onto 1000 people, and whenever the
IS. r. o." sign is out, which will
! probably be very often. it will be safe
| to say that LOO people are enjoying
the performance.
| The initial performance occurs to-
morrow evening, when Moths will
be presented by a first class company.
The new house will be under the
management of Mr.. John B. Rogers,
| Mr.. Frank Maltese will be stage MANI
ager, while Mr.. B. T. Piper will pres

The opera is designed not only 10

as well. 1t contains many bright ana

The week after that Mr. Alexander
Salvini and a very excellent company
win appear for several nights in a
round of standard plays of high or

drama is Salvini's forte, ard these he
renders in a manner that is peculiarly
his own. and that has made him very
popular with the majority Of theatre
goers. Just which plays will be given

The latest fad for ladies is to wear

this luxury, but it will be a great boon

Another Salt Luke Play.

A play by Salt Lakers is not so new
a thing as it once was, but one that
promises to climb high and attract at
tention far and wide is now proposed
as a coming attraction. 1t is some

Shenandoah" it is strictly original
and will be produced by Salt Lake
dramatic talent. We shall hear more

this latest piece from his prolific pen
which has attended his other efforts. me me
reason for this is explained by the IaGs
that his new play arouses no interest IN
the development of the story; and, IN
fact, it has so little plot that, as an eX-
change says: The representation W9u H.
the exceedingly slight semblance of story
with which it is burdened."

apart, are set loops of narrow satin
ribbon, combining all the shades of the
brocade waist. The low necked bodice
is ornamented to match and the effect
is that of clusters of bright flowers, as
novel as it is rich and tasteful. Every
lady can learn useful lesson in ar
ranging her toilet to the best advantage
by studying such charming effects as
will be shown by the costumes to be
worn by the Calhoun Opera company
during their engagement in this city.
Years ago, when Thomas-Ksene was
the leading actor at Woods, now Daily s
theatre, in New York, he wrote a melo-
drama and produced it at his annual
benefit Mr. Keene was favorite then,
as he is now, and his play was most
cordially received. At the end of the
third act he was called before the cur
tain. The audience demanded a speech
and this is what Mr. Keene said:
Ladies and gent1emen-In thanking
you for your kind and enthusiastic re-
ception 1 wish to add that if you will
allow us to finish this performance L
will promise you never again to write

NOTHING shows better the wild
spirit of gambling 50 well, as the
existence in Pittsburg, Pa, of a
discretionary pool" in which some
thirty thousand persons have in
vested small amounts to the extent
of 100000. This enormous sum
is left wholly to the discretion OF
the agent, who is always discreet
enough to provide for himself. He
does as he likes, and no single in
vastor has enough in his pool, to
prosecute him, even if he knows
that he has been defrauded. The
manager knows this. The saddest
part of it, is that poor people, wild
ows, farmers, teachers, clerks, cler-
gymen invest, and lose. They will
not gamble" but they see no harm
in operating in stocks" The
temptation to make little money
for Christmas is overpowerlng. The
"bucket shop" which is a concern
for buying small quantities OF
stocks, with capital of SIS or $40,
are found everywhere, even in the
quiet villages, and indicate the
ravenous desire of all classes to
make something out of nothing.
The concerns themselves burst up,
as a rule, because the managers
speculate too. One of the most re-
experts, in these opera
tons, was the daughter of mis-
sionary in these islands. She was
never involved in any frauds, but
her vast knowledge of stocks made
her very useful as an assistant.

ACCUMULATED RICHES.

The question of the peril to the
community from the accumulation
of great fortunes, arose at dinner,
at which Col. Robert Ingersoll, the
agnostic, was present. The guar
dian of a small boy, seven years
old, had reported to the court that
the child's income was about $685.
600 a year, and only $4,000 was
needed for his care. What shall be
done, in such cases, which are be-
coming more numerous every year?
was asked. Rum and vice." said
Ingersoll, will destroy fortunes as
fast as they can be built up. Look
at the facts" 1t was said that of
one hundred rich families, in a
great city, ninety per cent. of them
had, in two generations, been re-
duced to poverty, ard that rum
and vice had done it. Those who
made the fortunes were industrious
and temperate men. Those who
inherited them had no need of in
dustry, and intemperance became
first their recreation, then their
need, and finally their pitfall,
and vice was its handmade.
Some one inquired ''if there is no
rum or vice, will the great fortunes
be preserved? Ingersoll replied,
"No; the law of love, of humanity,
will then scatter them, because the
law of love makes communists,
and the man who has got it, can't
keep his money to himself, any bet
ter than the man can who is full of
