MISSIONARY CLEANERS PARTY.
Another Successful Affair Took Place
On Saturday Afternoon.
The Booths Were ArtisticaIIy Arranged
And Drew Forth Many Do1lars-Two
Boys Sell BOSS Candy

The Missionary Cleaners were for
tunate in having their lawn party on
bright, sunshiny afternoon when "a
great many persons could attend.
Just $447.75 was realized from the
sale of articles, all of which were don
ated by members and friends of the
Cleaners.
The tea and chocolate stand was by
far the most deliberately decorated on
the grounds. High reed partitions
formed the background for decorations
Of greens and japanese lanterns. Sew
eral tables of Micronesian and Ha-
waiian mats made a very inviting
place for tea and chocolate drinkers.
Mrs. Jordan was assisted by Mrs.
Dodge, Misses Snow, Campbell, Whit
ney, Forbes, Rice and the Misses
Lyons.
A dozen tables set among palm
trees and surmounted each by neat
tea cloth and vase of flowers were
used for ice cream. The young ladies
who waited at these were dressed in
white and wore butterfly caps each
with a color corresponding to the flow
ers on some special table. Mrs. E.
Damon, Mrs. Parmalee, Misses Ben
ner and Parke had charge OF the ice
cream department.
The pretty pink and white candy
stand was most gracefully attended
by Misses May Mott Smith and L.
Hartwell.
The "Home of the Brownies" was
situated in little striped tent where
Mrs. Rice presided as genial dispenser
of all the fancy articles and brownies
made by the children in sympathy
with the work of the Cleaners.
Misses Hall, Ethel Smith, Alice
Jones and Elsie Waterhouse saw that
everyone was furnished with either
lei or buttOn-hole bOquet from the
flower stand.
The two native and as many Chinese
girls placed in Kawaiahao Seminary
and supported by the Cleaners sold
remarkably natural paper flower leis.
Masters George Cooke and Harold
Dillingham; paraded the grounds
drumming up trade for 'French boss"
candy.
One of the most artistic was the
lemonade stand in charge of Misses
branches of large algaroba tree for q
background, the orange and white
draping on frame work showed to
great advantage.
The s'rubber ball versus niger
head" game was a great attraction.
In the center CT a large white cloth
screen was a hole large enough to
admit of the easy movement of
hanging negroes head done in the
regulation black and red, with white
collar. Three hits out of five with
rubber balls gave the thrower a mask.
During the afternoon ten of Miss
Craigs' kindergarten sboys and girls
favored those present with May pole
dance.
The Hawaiian band was stationed
on the grounds and furnished music at
intervals during the afternoon.
At O'Clock G. M. Cooke, as official
auctioneer to the Cleaners, sold off the
surplus articles. His genial counter
ance and witty remarks did a great
deal toward bringing good prices.
To Mrs. e. A. Jones, as president of
the Cleaners, and her able helpers, is
due great credit for the success of
Saturdays lawn party.

Drink and Business.

The private life Of clerks in posi-.
tons of trust is necessarily mat
ter of investigation by their EN-.
ployers and it has long been rule
that men who use intoxicants while
on duty are not wanted in such
posts. Recently we have heard OF
two instances where the employers
have shown a great and most
praiseworthy care in the private
life Of the employees. In a New
York bank not long ago, all the
clerks were called into the vice
presidents room and asked to
promise to avoid saloons altogether,
for their own sakes, for the sake OF
the bank, and for the general good.
Should the promise be broken, they
are subject to instant dismissal.
The managers of the Chicago &
Alton railroad have issued a strin-
gent rule by which their men are
forbidden either on or off duty to
visit a saloon. Having thus learned
to avoid the saloon because it is
detrimental to business and will
cause loss of employment, may not
the men thus forbidden soon see
that it is best to avoid the intoxi-
eating drink because it is injurious
to health and right living and will
rob them of all that is dearest in
life Wv. G. T. U.

A Horrible Find.

Last evening information came
to the police station of the finding
of a human hand on Maunakea
street. Captain Parker Immediately
investigated the matter. It was
found that through the advice of a
Japanese doctor one of the Jap
anese recently injured by dyna-
mite at Eva had had one of his
hands amputated. Instead of
burying it, as ordered, the Japan
csc threw it into rubbish barrel
on the street.

KILOHANA ART LEAGUE.
The First Public Exhibition Takes
PIaoa on Saturday Evening.

On Saturday evening the Kilo-
hama Art League opened it's rooms
for the first evening exhibition that
has been given since the private
view to members and invited guests
on Tuesday last. The attendance
was good, without the room being
at any time crowded, and an ex-
cellent opportunity was afforded for
careful and critical inspection of
the exhibition, both in its general
quality and in the individual
works constituting it.
The evenings pleasure was ma
terially enhanced by the music,
this being kindly furnished by Mr..
A. Marques, assisted by several
well known gentlemen amateurs.
The exhibition will be open for
about a month, the hours being
from 8 am. to 5 80 pm. each day.
On Saturday evening of each week
there will also be an exhibit with
music. Those who will take the
trouble to look in at the rooms of
the league during the hours named
will be more than repaid for the
small fee required at the door, and,
in some cases, will undoubtedly be
somewhat surprised at the number
of persons in Honolulu who are
qualified to produce art work
worthy of public exhibition.

AFTER AN EDITOR.
Someone With a Loaded Cane Goes

 Limestone county can possibly boast of the oldest postmaster, iu point of continu- ous service, of any county in the entire south, if not in the United States. Forty three years ago the postoffice at Center Hill, this county, was established, and the presenr postmaster, Mr. W. R. Crutcher appointed as postmaster. The office has continuously been open and he has been the postmaster all these years. He has made good officer, and while tue pay has been nothing, so to speak, the office has been great convenience to tho people of that section. For many years it was the only postoffice between Huntsville and Athens and there were no nearer postofhces than these two towns
 Sheriff Tillman received letter last week from gentleman, Mr. J. Lee Gamble, of Callecoon Depot, N. Y., asking him to send him a picture of Athens and sur rounding country, and especially the place where the :White Horse cavalry' camped while in Athens during tho late war. MT. Gamble was in that company aud remem :. bers Athens as pretty southern town, and wants a picture of the place. Oar ever clever and accommodating sheriff will, as far as In his power lies, comply with his request.

VERY IMPORTANT DEAL PECULIARLY
 SAD DEATH.
 JASPER, April 10.-[Special Correspond ence. l--Col. J. c. Nicely of Memphis arr rived in the city yesterday morning and was gladly welcomed by his many friends here. He comes, itis understood, to close up the big deal which has been in progress for some time, em bracing three iron fur naces at Sheffield, the 800 coke ovens here, Gam ble mines in this county, Elliott mines in Jefferson and about 7C,C00 acres of valuable coal lands. The parties to whom the transfer is made are abupdantly cap italized and their representatives, w. Il. Berlin of Allentown, Pa., and MT. Adams of Bethlehem, Pa, arrived on the noon train of the Birming gham, Sheffield and Ten nessee road. It is understood the big deal has been consummated and that all of these properties will go under the new management at once.
 The parties mentioned above, accom- panied by Messrs. J. B. Darlington, J. Il. Hays and Howard Lamar, Esq, went over to Gamble Mines yesterday afternoon on tour of inspection. Our splendid coke oven plant covers about sixty acres of land, and the resumption of work there will throw fresh lie and vigor into all lines of busi- ness.
 Under peculiarly sad circumstances little Helena Gilbert died at the residence of
  Mines, on last Friday evening. The parents ot the little child reside in Rochester, N. ,Y., and mother and child were here on q visit to the family of Mir. Van Fleet.

 Bishop Petty of the African Methodist Episcopal church was here last week and delivered several able sermons to his colored brethren. On Thursday night several white men attended the services and were so for cibly impressed with his ability and earnest ness that they prevailed upon him to stay over and preach at the court house. This he did, and on Friday night was greeted by a packed house-the whites occupying the right and the blacks the left of the commo- dious court room. The sermon was fine one and the large attendance of white peo- pie express themselves as abundantly re- paid.
