NEW SUPREME VICE,
q. Laws to Be at the Head of Island
Knights.

II. Laws, the Republics auditor
general, has been appointed Su-
preme Vice-Chancellor for the
Knights of Pythias lodges of the
Hawaiian Islands. By members
of the order throughout the world
this is deemed high honor. Mr..
Laws succeeds Chas. J. Mccarthy.
Hawaii is a special jurisdiction,
and the only one in the Pythian
organization having so exalted an
officer at its head as a deputy of
of the very ruler of the order.
For many years Mr.. Laws has
been an enthusiastic worker in
Pythianism. He is a past chan
cellor of Aloha Lodge, No. 2, of
Kahului, Maui. His name was by
unanimous vote of that lodge sub
mitted to Mystic Lodge, No. 2, of
this city. The latter made the Off
cial nomination. This was sec
onded by Oahu. No. l, of Honolulu,
and approved by all lodges through
out the group.
The commission of Mr.. Laws as
Vice Supreme Chancellor is ex-
pected by the Australia. He will
thereupon be formally presented to
the lodges here by the retiring
vice, Mr.. Mccarthy.
Mystic Lodge has ordered some
high-class theatrical effects to be
used in work" When the mater
ial arrives an exhibition for the
benefit of all knights of the city
will be given. Chancellor Gear
and Master of Work Murphy have
been active in laboring for improve
ment. Past Chancellor Mehrtens
will supervise some changes to be
made in the hall.
Oahu Lodge, during the term of
Chancellor George Hawkins, is
having a genuine boom. Their
team has had some good material
to work upon.

a Way to Save Ballot That Didn't
Save it.

A. B. Wood of Warehouses; was
in a group yesterday where the
subject of mismarking ballots was
being talked over. Some one said
that the method of voting was al
together too complicated and cited
that so intelligent a man as Mr..
Alex. Young has spoiled his house
ticket. As Mr.. Wood had pencil
and some letters in his hand he was
requested to illustrate. Said he:
"Mr. Young's mistake was nat
ural enough. 1t was the error OF
business man who pays little at
tention to practical politics. He
placed an Y after the name Of each
senatorial nominee. Then he used
the same character in voting the
regular representative ticket. OF
course, the ballot was thrown out"
How did you mark yours?"
one of the listeners inquired of the
man with the diagram. With all
the confidence of one who is dead
certain he is right, Mr.. Wood ex-
planned:
q used the character on the
senate ticket. Then l marked the
house ballot like this: Cluney l,
Davis 2, Halualani 3"
And the party rendered to Mr.:
Wood what is sometimes called
Z the horse laugh"

a Correction.

In the article in yesterdays AD-
vERTIsER, in relation to The letter
received by Mr.. Garvin, it was
stated that the young man who had
written the anonymous letter had
apologized for it. This was an
error. He had not the grace even
to do that, but had stated, and
openly, that he was glad he had
written it. This seems preposter-
Gus, but it is a fact.

A delicate system of bribery is
credited to the inventive genius of
a commission merchant in Tokyo.
A sheet of gold, as wide as a post
card, is used by him for a visiting
card, his name being lacquered
thereon. He calls on the officer in
charge when tenders are being in
vited for any good contract, and
leaves one of his valuable metal
cards. His success in rendering is

The Opera House was only fairly
well filled at yesterdays matinee.
The audience was composed prin-
cipally of ladies and children, but
all seemed to enjoy the trials and
final happiness of Mercy in Ca
price" The performance went well
except that, towards the end of the
last act, the electric lights went
out for few minutes, leaving the
stage in total darkness. A lamp
was produced, which cast a dim
light on the scene until the lights
again appeared.
