More Punch.

The Punch which was doled'
ont at the Hawaiian booth has
evidently gone to the heads Of
some Of the estimable ladies who
managed the Feast Of Nations.
The Adgert;ser is virtuously
shocked and the Star Is seriously
grieyed-perhaps the editors
didn't catch on" to the punch,
and now regret their oversight.
A Mrs. E. ". Jordan wEo
evidently had something to do
with the feast has made the fsl-
lowing remarkable statement to
the Adrertiser.
The matter was brought to
my attention on Friday evening.
when ! was told that punch was
being sold at the Hawaiian booth.
] went TO Mrs Haalelea, who WIS
in charge, and told her what 1
had heard. She said that II any
intoxicating liquors were being
sold, il was without her know
ledge, and that she would t4 to
stop it. She went to both Mr..
Cummins and Mr Merseberg. and
requested that. If such n thing
was being done, it should be
stopped. That was all that we
could do in tie matter
81 also heard that there were
other hvuors sold at the booth. |
could not believe that this was
so, even in the matter of the
punch. and l decided to iuyes-
tigate the matter In smelling it.
] did not detect any liquors, but
thought that a little anise seed
had been added to it. | found
out, later. however, that it was
regular punch.
"As to the matter Of our not
accepting the money from the
booth, that wonld be an injustice
to Mrs. Haalelea that we would
not like to do. We have decided
to accept it. bnt will probably
add the Maternity Home to tie
list of charities to be benefited
by the bazaar. This IS an la
l,ajiap institution, and # some

We, do not know, who Mrs.
Jordan Is, but we have no doubt
that she is honest in her conyic-
tions, and only through Ignorance
or stupidity expresses herself in
such grossly insulting manner to- 4
wards the Hawaiians. We beg
to call special attention to the
finishing sentiments. 1t is there .
indicated that Mrs. Jordan thinks
that q valuable and highly
deserving institution like the
Maternity Home is bad enough
to accept money gained in
disgroeefuI Ssic' manner while the
useless and absurd institutions
like the W. c. T. {. and Y. N.
C. \. are not to be contaminated
by money received from the sale of
liquor. The Maternity Home is
to be congratulated on getting
the money from the Hawaiian
booth, and tits to be compliment
ed for being made the object for
the contempt and insults Of Mrs.
Jordan and her ilk. But this
lady should be consistent If such
jewel can be obtained by
her. The management of the
Feast Of Nations should refuse to
accept the money made in the
Portuguese booth. Mr. E S.
Cunha the proprietor Of the
Central Union Art Gallery,
spent good deal Of money for
the benefit of the Portuguese
booth. 1t presented an excel
lent appearance and was well
patronized by fellow worshipers
with MIS-. E W. JAY Mr.. cunha
males his money by selling liquor
and it is wrong for Mrs. Jordan.
and the ". c. I. L. TO accept any
sum made in such a 'disgraeeful'
manner. The ". C, L. L. is
warning against saloons and
liquor. but they seem to be very
willing to accept support from 7
The men who make their living, I
and their fortunes by selling the c
licensed stuff. Ii would be iuter- q
esting to see list Of those who q
partook of Mr.. ormmins' punch
and. paid for it. Mrs. Jordan
