ST. PErhR's SCHOOL.
A Very Satisfactory Showing.

The closing exhibition OF the St..
Peters school took place yesterday
afternoon, at the school room next
to st. Andrews Cattle DIAL. The
pupils are all Chinese and they, as
we'll as their teachers, are entitled to
great credit for the progress made
during the past year.
St. Peters school is under the
direct supervision of the Bishop Of
Honolulu. Chinese and English are
taught in d fferent branches, giving
the children an ordinary school
education. Tsen Chan is the EGG
fish teacher and Max Wan Tan
gives instructions in Chinese. The
children also receive lessons in
music; and their singing in English
as we'll as in Chinese proved the
efforts made by Yen Tet a young
chinese who plays the organ and
who is studying for holy orders.
Yen Tet is probably one Of the best
Gre-k scholars in Honolulu.
The services at St. Peters Church
are held in Chinese aud quite
large congregation is in attendance.
The Rev. Foo Gee Ben is the pastor
Of the Church.
The school of st. Peter is doing
excellent work and the large
audience present at the exercises
was pleasantly surprise d to hear the
pure diction in English OF most of
the pupils among whom were
number OF little toddlers. A recita.
ton of two little girls Gin blue" was
received with applause as was the
recitation OF Lochiuvar by Max Fin
Ga who possesses certain oratorical
gifts. Little F. All Tet was the
cutest in the lot and was applaud d
livelily by the audience. After the
programme was flushed prizes and
certificates we're presented by the
Bishop OF Honolulu who spoke a
few encouraging words to the
scholars and teachers. In the
audience were noticed b.sides the
Bishop and Mrs. Willis, C,mmis-
sioner Halves, Governor CIeghorn,
Rev. v. a. Kitcat, Mr.. Paetow of
Iolani College and many others. A
large number of prominent Chinese
we're also present showing their in-
terest in the work. None of the Board
of Education or of the legislative
committee considering the new
school bill had been able to fud their
way to the exhibition. If they had
they might have r. considered their
recommendation of the bill which
~eems directly intended to kill the
Chinese school OF st. Peter.

impostS and excuses by the lule of uni
formity throughout the nited States.
} That the principle that the tax
alton and REPRESENTATION 90 together was
intended 10 be and was preserved in the
constitution by the establishment of the
rulp of anportionment among The several
states so that such appOrtionment should
be according TO numbers in each state.

power TO levy imposts and 10 regulate
commerce to the general government aud

Mr.. Lawson, of New York, member
of a good government club, while en-
route to o social function in full dress
saw policeman rubbing an inebriated
fellow-citizen's ear in an attempt to
revivify him. He demonstrated with
the officer, and told him that he should
call citizen to his aid and carry the
man to the station house. "All
right" said the officer; II call on
you" Mr.. Lawson said he really
could not stop. The officer said he
really must, or subject himself to ar
rest; and so he was compelled to assist
in dragging the mudspattered pris-
oner to the police station. In the
course Of the journey the inebriate
toppled over on the good government
club man three times, and left him in
sadly disheveled condition. But he
can probably thank the Lexow COM

cape without bad government club
