Church CHIMES RANG OUT.
Kaumakapili Bright With Christ
mas Merriment.
Address by Rev MT. Gulick-
Candy Galore

Santa Claus vas delayed on hi:
road to Kaumakapiii, so that the
children Of the Sunday school Of
that church were allowed TO await
his arrival, an event which occurred
last night.
The Sunday school room in the
basement was packed to its utmost
capacity, with children of all
nationalities, and their parents. On
the platform in front was a large
Christmas tree covered with lighted
candles and fancy ornaments.
The audience was entertained by
a fine musical progrm, after which
Mr.. Gulick arose and addressed the
children in Hawaiian, telling them
the meaning OF Christmas and
giving voice to many little witty
remarks that caused a feeling of
rnerriment all around. At the end
of his talk Mr.. Gulick spoke of a
strange man, who would make his
appearance soon. but that the
children should not allow his
appearance to frighten them, for his
intentions were the kindest In the
world. No sooner had he spoken
these words when, as by magic, a
loud cry, followed by the jingling
of sleigh bells, was heard outside
the door. In a second more Santa
Claus, arrayed in his usual cos
tune, came trotting up the center
aisle, amid the noise and din of
hundreds of children scrambling
up ON their seats. Try az they
might, the ushers were unable to
make them sit down. Santa Claus
made a speech, and got in as many
differenG languages as he could.
He complained because he had
just come from very cold place,
and that it was too hot for him
here in his winter suit.
The children seemed very much
delighted at this, and raised their
voices in approval. Santa Claus
had another engagement, so with
a prolonged "Aloha," he sped down
the aisle, scattering popcorn as he
went, and disappeared out of the
door through which he entered.
Bags of candy were then distri-
buted to the children and the enter
tainment was at an end. Over Il
thousand people were present.
Previous to the exercises the
Chimes were played by Mr.. Wray |
Taylor.

GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE.
A Correspondent Thinks That Loyal
Merchants Should Have It.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t has been the
policy OF the Government to require
of its employees, as a test OF 10y
atty, that they register and take
oath of allegiance. a refusal to
comply with these requirements
resulted in dismissal from the pub
lie service.
Would not consistency require
that merchants supplying nearly
all the material for the important
public works under way IN this
vicinity should give the same test
of loyalty, and that a refusal To do
so should result In the transfer OF
Government patronage ~ those
other merchants, who have been,
from the first, firm in their support
OF the present Government, and
who now get little or 10 support
from it In return?
BY inserting the above you will
greatly oblige, Yours etc,

many tears over the woes of the pa

and free press, and in proof of this
assertion there is not q 4x6 weekly

publications caricature the President
and other high officials. i would re-

The Mall Carrier Service.

The recent change in the time of
many trains on the Rock Island has
enabled later mail delivery from
the Rock Island postoflice than has
heretofore been necessary. The car
riers now start out on their alter
noon rounds at 8 p. M, instead OF at
noon, which affords them the oppor-
tunity to deliver the Davenport and
Moline mail. as well as that FOL
Washington and Muscatine and in
tcrmediate points, together with
Cable, Reynolds. etc.
The carriers will make their ap-
pcarancc the first pleasant day in
their new summer uniforms com
pletc, including regulation helmets
ETC., and the uniform is believed Il
be the neatcst ever worn by loca
carriers. Fred Coyne, the brigh
and industrious special delivery mes
senger boy No. 1, will also appear il

BOUND TO DO IT.
An Office in a Public School
Building.
WORK FOR OTHERS TO UNDO.

Tho Board of Education 10 Determined to
Make . Mistake ut No. which 10 Cnuec-
essary and Ridiculous.
While the board of education. took
no action at its meeting Tuesday
evening as to providing an Office for
the school board in the new No. 4
building, it is nevertheless apparent
that the intention of the board is to
make this error, and leave it to others,
as it becomes apparent by experience,
to undo the mistake. The ARGUS
has spoken of the disadvantage of
such a move, and the views of this
paper then expressed have been fully
sustained by public sentiment since.
The idea of having a public Office in
a public school building is rightly re-
garded by most people as ridiculous,
and 1t is species of extreme incon-
7 sistency for members residing i'm the
vicinity of the new building to force
the location of the board room there
in order that it may be more conven-
lent to the, neighborhood in which
they reside. The office of the board
which is also the office of the super
intendent of schools and clerk Of the
board, should not be where the bust
ness transacted there will disturb
the operation of the public school
system, and at the opening of school
terms, when children are just being
entered, and at other times, there is
bound to be more or less noise, which
will disturb the other rooms. Not
alone is this disadvantage shown, but
the location is not proper. Board
members and school patrons living
in the lower end should not be
obliged to go out of their way to find
the superintendent office. 1t should
be where it always has benin as
central location as possible. For
these reasons THE ARGUS believes if
the board persists in adhering to its
present inclination, and puts the
Office of the board of education and
superintendent in a public school
building, it will leave job for flu
ture board to change it back where
it belongs.
| No. to he Abandoned.
As referred to in the proceedings
OF Tuesday nights session, appear
ing yesterday, the board has decided
to abandon the No. 8 building. at the
corner of Fifth avenue and Nine
teenth street, and consolidate the
school with the new No. 4, which is
ample in accommodations for the
TWO schools. and this will save the
expense of operating the two schools.
Under these circumstances the board
may find that it can dispose of No. 8
altogether, and from the proceeds a
new building might be erected on
the bluff. where sooner or later the
board will..be faced with the necessity
of acting.

Down to date the tendency seems to be to
answer the first question afiirmatiyely. OF
course none but the bitterest partisan in
Washington imagines that the secretary
was ever corruptly influenced, but MANY
believe that the ingenious sugar men found
him SO anxious to be fair, SO very anxious
to avoid the appearance of rashness or in
Justice, that they made his mood serve their
purpose. There is nothing too mean to be
believed here in regard to the Sugar trust.

FROM BAY TO GULF.
McCleary's Scheme to Connect Gulf OF
Mexico With Hudsen's hay.

McCleary's scheme to Connect Gulf Of
Mexico With Hudsen's hay.
WAsHrKGToX. June 10 -Representative
NcCleary tNinn-). who is . member
Of the committee on railways and canals.
has laid the foundation of scheme to
connect the Gulf OF Mexico with Hudson
bay. This is project which has caused
more or less discussion in the northwest
and surveys for other purposes have been
used in making computations as to the
feasibility of the plan. Mr.. McCleary now
proposes that the United States govern
ment shall. in conjunction with the Ca
madam government. make preliminary
survey to ascertain whether in the first
place the scheme is feasible, and if SO,
what the probable cost will be.
Mr.. McCleary's plan Is to have the sur
vey made by the way OF the Minnesota
river, whose head waters and those of the
Red river of the north nearly join through
Big Stone and Traverse lakes. In high
water, boats of considerable size have
crossed from one lake to the other and it
would not require very large canal. to
connect the waters Of the Red and Mime
sofa. While the difficulty of connecting
the Red and Minnesota rivers is not great,
it is claimed that the rapids in the Win
nipeg river have always discouraged the
Canadian government from the under
taking. There have been sew eral conven-
tons Of citizens of northern Minnesota.
North Dakota and Winnipeg looking to
the opening of the Winnipeg river in the
hope that they might find short water
outlet to the seaboard.
Each of these connections have been
confronted with the obstruction in the
Winnipeg river. but Mr.. McCleary thinks
that if the United States should take
some steps toward opening up channel
on this side of the boundary that the
Canadian government might be inclined
to taking some action looking toward
opening the Winnipeg river.
y Now that proposition has been agreed
to by the committee on railways and
canals to survey a canal to connect the
Ohio with the great lakes, and another
has been favorably talked Of to survey a
canal connecting the great lakes and the
Hudson river; he thinks that it is but
just that another project Of interest to the
west shall be considered, and he will urge
it before the committee.

puuApEIPHrA, June 10.-The big cruiser
Coaum bia is resting on the blocks IN the
drv dock at the LeaRe Island my yard,
hieh aud dry. All of the water was
pumped out Of the dock Saturday MORN
inr, and q reporter made personal IN
spection of the injury to her bottom
which was inflicted during the recent sea
trial of the cruiser.
The indentation which has caused so
much comment and which is now being
INQUIRED into by the naval court OF in
curry is scarcely perceptible. A close in
spection is necessary to discover that
there is any injury at all.
The dent, or more strictly speaking
sscrape," is on the starboard side and d.
rectly underneath the engines. 1t is on
the keel plate. about four inches from the
keel, and extends along the bottom OF the
cruiser for about 90 feet. The injury has
every appearance of having been
Made by Jagged Rock.
It is scarcely two inches in width and
shows that the big vessel careened when
it first struck the obstacle and then set
tom in some places are from 5 to 10 feet
apart and only two or three feet in length.
Boss Carpenter Spears of the League
Island navy yard said that he could not
imagine how so slight dent could break
the cement which lines the inside of the
hull. He was much surprised when he
examined the cruiser, as he fully expected
to find the injury much more serious than
1t really is. 1t can be noticed that the in
jury caused the big cruiser to leak
slightly, as water exudes from the inside
along the keel line.
The court of inquiry took look at the
Columbia Saturday, and were as much
surprised as the attaches of the navy yard
at the apparently thrilling nature of her
injury. The work of repairing the CO.
lumbia will begin at once. The Cramps
will do the work.
The cruiser is almost as clean a. it was
the day she was launched, and it will,
therefore, not be necessary to scrape her

Violation Of Raw In Breckenridge Case
Completely Unnerved Him.


NEW York, June lot il stated that
Rev. John r. Paxton, whose sudden res
ignation from the passionate of the West
Presbyterian church some months ago,
caused snch widespread sensation in
church circles. is just now an inmate Of
St. Francis hospital in Pittsburg, famous
as a sanatarium for persons sufferin;
from mental collapse.
For time he lived in retirement on his
farm, about Is miles from Pittsburg. The
discovery of his violation Of the law in
connection with the marriage of Congress
man Breckenridge completely unnerved
him.
About six weeks ago he left Pittsburg
for trip to California. His brother ac-
companied him as far as New Orleans,
and then returned to Pittsburg. DR.. Pax
ton, however, did not 60 to California, but
disappeared.
No trace of him could be found until
about 10 days ago, when he appeared at
the home of his brother in Pittsburg.
Then he was in a condition of mental
and physical collapse.
While Dr. Paxton is not actually de-
mented, he suffers from hallucinations
and mental alteration. Under the treat
ment OF the physicians it is said he is
rapidly improving and is able to leave
his ROOM
