HONOR THEIR BENEFACTOR.
Bust OF c. X. Bishop to- Be Put in
Schools.

Several months ago proposition
was made by the board of trustees
of Oahu College to the board of
trustees OF Kamehameha school
that both institutions combine to
expend certain amount OF money
for the purpose of having a bust
made of the Hon. c.. r. Bishop,
with that gentleman's consent, one
copy of each to be placed in the
institutions mentioned.
This plan found instant favor,
and the work of making the bust
was put in the hands of Allen
Hutchinson, the sculptor. MIR.
Hutchinson went to San Francisco
afterwards and remained long
enough to complete the work, re-
turning recently.
The bust is one OF the finest like
nesses ever made of Mr.. Bishop.
His friends are delighted with it.
Only two busts will be made, one
to be placed in Oahu College and
the other in Kamehameha school.

PLANTATION DEsERTERS.
Three Japanese Arrested at Pearl
City by TOma.

-
City by TOma.
Toma. the crack japanese officer
who says he is now a thorough Ha-
waiian. was sent to Pearl City
Monday night to arrest three Jap
anese deserters-two from Spreckels-
Vile plantation, Maui, and another
from Koloa plantation, Kauai. AT
Pearl CITY he asked the assistance
Of the sheriff OF that place, as he
thought there might be some
trouble. The men were known to
have friends who might try to pre-
vent their arrest. Together the
two went to a low frame hut on
the outskirts of a marsh In the
vicinity. As was expected, there
were several japanese in the hut.
They were all engaged In the work
of scraping fishing nets. Since the
escape of the three men from the
plantations mentioned, they had
been fishing to make a living. As
the Japanese officer approached
the crowd they arose of one accord
and came toward him. Toma ask
ed them for their names, but re-
ceiyed fictitious ones for his trou-
bic. He then told them their
names and said it would be better
for them to make a clean breast OF
the whole matter, as the facts re-
garding them were we'll known.
Thus confronted, they made no
further attempt at concealment
and surrendered themselves. On
the morning train yesterday they
were brought to the city.

vived for the benefit of Grant and his au-
thority was increased by the act of March
2, 1867, forbidding his removal, suspension
or relief OF his assignment elsewhere than
at Washington, and requiring all the or
ders relating to military operations to be
issued thrtrgh the general of the army.
This authority was subsequently revoked
by the act of June Is, 1870, which limited
the term of the offices of general and lieu
tenant general. When Grant became Pres
ident, March 4, 1869. Sherman became gen.
eral, and the day following he was ordered
by the President to assume command of the
army. By an order issued on the 26th day
of the same month the President himself
practically assumed command of the mill
tary forces, and has exercised 1t from that
Gay to this through the terms of both Gen.
Sheridan and Gen. Schof1eld, who in turn
succeeded Gen. Sherman.
During the 100 years of its existence there
have been but twenty-one senior officers of
the army. Their service at the head of the
army has averaged little over six years
for each. The longest period of command
was that of Gen. Scott, who held the office
for twenty years and six months. WASH
ington was in command for eight years and
six months. Gems. Macomb and Brown
each served about thirteen years. Lieut..
Gen. Schofield has been in command seven
years and two months longer period than
any of his predecessors except the four of

The Present Pastor.
The Rev. VIM. II. Chapman, the present
pastor, was born st Midlleburg, Loudoun
county. Va. and entered the ministry at
the age of nineteen as a member of the
Baltimore conference. His father before
him was member of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church and a member of the same
conference. Although very young man
when he entered the work, lie soon gained
quite reputation as a preacher, and his
popularity and ability secured for him
some of the most prominent appointments
in Baltimore and Washington. At one time
he was chosen presiding elder of the east
Baltimore district. While stationed at
Dumbarton Avenue Church, Georgetown,
he served as chaplain of the Seminary Hos
pital, which was occupied by officers only.
Altogether, his career as a minister has
been an unusually successful one. The
young congregation over which he now
presides looks forward to great prosperity
under his pastorate.

ing Mr.. McCarty's pastorate that the
church lot was bought At the annual
meeting of the conference. March, 1894,
Brookland and Langdon were united in one
charge. The Rev. Church Tabor, a men,
Der of the Vermont conference, and tenn
porarily residing in Washington, asked and
was assigned to this charge. He labored
hard to perfect the organization, and gave
his earnest attention to the raising of funds
with which to begin the erection of house
Of worship. He succeeded in obtaining a
hundred subscribers at s. each to form the
nucleus of a building fund. Other SUBJ
scriptors were received which served to
swell the amount in the hands of the treas
urer until the trustees felt that they could
begin the erection of building.
Taking up the thread where Mr. Tabor
left off, Rev. VIM. H. Chapman, a man of
untiring energy, who was appointed pastor
in March, 1875, pushed the erection of the
church forward. On June 1G. 1895, the
corner stone donated by Messrs. Jardine
& Bonar was laid, with appropriate SER
vices. There was a large assembage for
this event, and when the pastor asked for
contributions quite sum was subscribed.
The church has good choir, which IS I'M
der the direction of Mr.. 1. S. Hollidge. Mrs.
Hollidge is organist, and the choir is COM
posed as follows: Sopranos, Mrs. Wolfe, Mrs.
Murray, Mrs. Dickerson and Misses Annie

THE SOCIETY'S PROGRESS

Tomorrow afternoon the Methodist Epis-
copal congregation of Brookland will dedi-
cate it's new church, which will make the
second building of this character erected
in this suburb. This congregation has had
to struggle very hard to reach this point,
SO the coming event is one Of great inter-
est to its members. The beginning of this
congregation dates back to April ii, 1893,
when the Methodists of Brookland, feeling
the need of a place of worship Of their own
denomination, under the leadership Of Mr..
Geo. B. Johnston and Mr.. I. S. Hollidge.
met at the residence of Mr.. Hollidge to
discuss the advisability of taking such a
step. At this first meeting the at
tendance looked hopeful, for there were
present Mr.. and Mrs. Hollidse. the
Misses Hollidge, Mrs. N. B. Malone,
Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. B.

Men and Women Who Make a Hnnd-
some Living by Teaching 1t.
From the New York Herald.
Men and women teach the game of whist
in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Mil
waukee, Brooklyn and San Francisco, re-
ceiving handsome sums for their services
and ranking with the professors of science
ard language.
Professors of whist they do not call them
selves, preferring to figure as experts in a
scientific calling, who may be consulted at
their offices like other experts. Those of
them who consider their calling from its ar
tistic side receive pupils in their studios
The best of them-for there are not more
than half dozen good professional in
structors in this most dignified of all the
combinations of cards and amusement
make an excellent living.
That women should have speedily taken
high rank as instructors in an art, SO to
speak, which requires concentration of
thought, inrocuous desuetude of tongue
ard elaboration Of both purpose and &C
ton, is surprising at first blush.
There are several women instructors, and
several men, too, in the large cities, who
receive as high as $3.50 an hour for in
struction. An instructor of New York is
frequently paid special rates. in gross, to
take charge of classes in Pottsville, Read
ing, the Oranges, Long Branch. Richfield
Springs and other summer resorts.
To the roster of crack whist players In
the United States at least two hundred
women ara added every year The best
known whist players of the gcntler sex
number as follows, approximately: In San
Francisco -; in Washington state, II; in
Boston and vicinity, 30, in Milwaukee, So
in Chicago, 90; in New York, %; in the
Oranges, 10. and in Philadelphia, 100, COM
posing the entire membership of two whist
clubs.
Two of the best whist players in New Jer-
sey are ladies living in Englewood What
used to be mans amusement, sport of
kings, is now par excellence a woman's
game. And it is better played today than
it ever was in the three hundred years Of
its history.

held at the residences of the various MEM
bers, and from week to week increased in
numbers, so that, when the Brookland
Hall Association had completed its build
ing, in June, the Methodist congregation
at once secured the large hall for the pur-
pose of holding religious services until such
time as they should feel able to erect a
building of their own. On Sunday, June
IS. 1888, the first services were held in the
hall, and on this occasion about 81 500 was
subscribed toward the purchase of a lot.
With this start, the congregation felt en-
couraged, and committee was immedi-
ately appointed to secure proper site.
The New Building.
In few days this object was accom-
plished, and the present lot on the corner
of Frankfort and 18th streets was pur-
chased for $1,375. Subscriptions amounting
to $1,000 were given to pay for 1t. The
contract for the building was given to Bur-
CESS & Whitside. ard the architects were
Dom & Peter. The edifice Is a neat, pref
ty frame structure on the cottage style, and
is painted a delicate green, with olive green
shingles and yellow trimmings. 1t Will seat
about 800 persons comfortably, and, when
necessary, can be made to accommodate
about $50. The building has cost in the
reighborbood of $1,000. and many articles
used in it's erection have been generously
donated.
From the first the question arose whether
1t would be better to become mission of
some larger congregation or to maintain
separate existence. Rev..Dr. Todd of Ham,
line generously offered his assistance and
advice, and Brookland in part, became a
branch of that church. DR.. Todd under
took the task of furnishing ministers from
week to week, and aiding in the regular
prayer services. This arrangement con-
tinued for about six months, when the Rev.
]. H. McCarty, from one of the northern
conferences. who had filled some of the
best appointments in his church. took
charge Of this body. The little Brookland
congregation, now fully enthused, assumed
an Independent existence and asked to be
recognized in the conference. 1t was dur

The Next Interstate Drill.
Already talk is general in the local
brigade regarding the next interstate COM
petitive drill, and at least six companies
intend to send teams to engage in the fray.
Nothing definite, however, can be learned
concerning the location of the event. Gen
eral rumor has designated New Orleans as
the place and February, during the mardi
gras in the crescent city, as the time Ac-
cordng to recent advices received from New
Orleans it would seem that the program for
the mardi gras has ere this been mapped
out and no provision made for drill nor
is it likely that any consideration will be
given the subject
During the recent drills in Memphis and
st. Louis the subject was discussed at some
length, and it Is among the possibilities,
judging from what was said at those places,
that the flower of the militia from all sec
lions of the United States will meet in
friendly combat either at Louisville or In
dianapolis during the coming summer.

A new company-one that its projectors
intend shall surpass any similar organiza-
ton now in existence in the drill line-is
