MEET IN THE Old HOUSE
CALL FOR A SPECIAL SESSION OF
MISSION CHILDREN.
To Spend' an Evening in the First
Frame House of the Islands-There
Will Be "Reminiscences.

A meeting of the Hawaiian Mission
Children's Society and their friends
will be held in the old Cooke home
stead near Kawaiahao church on King
street Saturday evening. This is part
ly in view of the fact that the histor-
ical old structure will soon be torn
down.
The timbers of this house were cut
and fitted in Boston and brought
around the Horn in the Thaddeus to
Honolulu in 1920. Numbers of the
Brigham l, assisted by natives, put up
this house in the position it now oceu-
pies. For long time it was the fin
est residence in Honolulu. 1t was a
center of the most important mission
ary work in the islands, and over it
hangs halo of religious conquests
that cannot be claimed by any other
spot in the country.
OF late years the old house has been
untenanted and used as a sort of re-
pository for riff-raff. Yet it is in good
condition, considering it's lease of sew
enty-siX years of usefulness. The tim
bers have proved of remarkable vital
ity and the carpenter work unexcelled
at the present time. On the occasion
of the gathering of Missionary Child
rem then the old hOuSe will ha bril
liantly illuminated from top to bot
tom, and every effort will be expended
to make it is cheerful and bright as
in the long ago. An elaborate program
of historical "reminiscences and music
has been arranged and will be pre-
sented. The invitation will be general
to members of the society and their
friends.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS At 0M|N|STRANDMRS. WILLIS
THE GOVERNMENT is TO ERECT
THREE THERE AT ONCE.
Hospital-Kerosene Warehouse and
Powder Magazine-Road Work
Central Fire Station.

The Hilo kicker can cease his gyra-
tions and his howling for a brief per-
iod at least. The town is to be the
scene at once of activity in the work
of providing public buildings. Three
of these are to be erected without de-
lay. They will be:
Hospital.
Powder Magazine
Kerosene warehouse.
All of these institutions have been
needy badly in the second city for
some time. Money for the building
purposes was appropriated by the
Legislature at the recent session. Now
the expenditure has been authorized
by the Executive Council. None of
these buildings are to be very ex-
pensive, but they will be on plans that
have been approved at Hilo and will
in all likelihood meet requirements
for several years. Some brick NAV be
used in one. The other two will be
of corrugated iron and timber, with
perhaps, in accordance with reaom~
mendation now being considered, the
change to stone for the powder mag
azine. 1t is understood that it will
be left to the people of Hilo to indi-
cate the sites of these structures. If
there is ready agreement upon TINS
important matter the hospital, powder
magazine and kerosene warehouse will
be available before the year closes.
Road work, especially on the island
of Hawaii, is being prosecuted more
vigorously than ever just now. This
is in view of the fact that there may
be period of too heavy rains for the
prosecution of building.
The plans and specifications for the
new Honolulu first station at Bere-
tania and Fort were handed to the
Minister of Interior on Saturday last.
These papers are now in the hands of
the Superintendent of Public Works.
So soon as possible tenders for the
building will be solicited by advertise
ment.

-& T. RUN DOWN,
Fast Driving Chinaman Injuries a Por-
tuguese Laborer. 80,

One of the fast drivers, about whom
there has been SO much complaint of
late, got himself in trouble up to his
neck this morning and is locked up.
He is a Chinaman named Luck Chong
and drives a light wagon. Thinking
he was on the race track he turned
around the corner of Kukui and Nuu-
anu and ran over Manuel Olivera, a
Portuguese road laborer. 1t is said
the Chinaman was going at break
neck rate and his victim had no chance
of escape.
Oliviera was badly bruised and,
when picked up, was unconscious. He
was taken to the hospital, but, upon
recovering sufficiently, went home.
The Chinaman was arrested, pending
further investigation.

United States Minister A. S. Willis
and wife met with bad runaway ac-
cident while leaving st. Andrews
Cathedral after the Stanley -Danford
nuptials this afternoon.
The carriage was drawn up near the
entrance to the Cathedral door Mrs.
Willis had been assisted in and occu-
pied the front seat. Mr.. Willis, hold
ing the lines, placed his foot on the
step to get in, when the horse became
frightened and bolted off toward the
Beretania street gate. The Minister
was ierked violently under the vehicle
and wheel passed over his leg, leav-
ing severe bruise. Besides he was
painfully bruised in other places and
badly shaken up.
Reaching the gate the vehicle was
dashed against the Waikiki post and a
wheel left. In the crash Mrs. Willis
was thrown over section of the fenc-
ing and experienced a remarkable es-
cape from serious injury. AS it was
bruised face was the only result of the
fall. The lady showed wonderful
presence of mind and returned i'm
mediately to her husband, who had
been left behind.
Mr.. Willis was taken to the office Of
DR.. Wood, near by, where it was
found he was not seriously hurt. Mrs.
Willis recovered in short time from
the excitement.
The horse continued his run to the
neighborhood of Alapai street, where
the remainder of the vehicle was left.
He was caught farther out and re-
turned. In an hour Mr.. Willis had
sufficiently recovered to go home

JAPAN AT SEA.
Remarkable Growth of the Fleet Of
the New Nation. d"

In 1872 Japan possessed 96 merchant
steamers Of an aggregate tonnage Of
@3,364 tons. They were, without ex-
ception, vessels which had been con-
demned by their former foreign own
ers as unfit for further profitable use,
were ill-managed and neglected, and
never ventured beyond the coast of
Japan, and even their coasting vow
ages We're so insignificant that their
entrances and clearances were not
deemed worthy of the slightest men
tion in the customs returns. In 1895
Japan possessed 517 merchant steam
ers of the aggregate tonnage of 321,522
tons and the principal company, the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha, or National
Mail Steamship Company, alone pos

TIDAL WAVE POWER.

The northeast coast of Hondo, the
largest of the japanese islands, ex-
tends nearer than any other land to
the tremendous submarine hole in the
earth's crust known as the Tuscarora
Deeps. This, says a writer in Scrib-
ner's for October, is the deepest part
of the ocean, so far as men know; it
is almost as deep as the topmost peak
of the Himalayas is high. Throughout
its hundreds of miles of width and
breadth there are submarine volca-
noes. The seismic philosophers think
that through some volcanic upheaval
in these depths earthquake vibrations
were transmitted along the ocean bot
tom to the shore, and a sidden rise of
the waters level sent the tidal wave
on its errand of destruction.

"Cornwallis meanwhile had 5000
men at Petersburg and Benedict Ar
mold was recalled to New York La
fayette was at Richmond with 5000
men. In a nine weeks campaign
Lafayette to a battle, and finally La
fayette, reinforced by Steuben and
Wayne, pursued CORVALLIS to the
coast, where in July he found him
self at Yorktown with 5000 men.
"What was Washington doing? He
planned with remarkable generalship
and with equally remarkable celebrity
and secrecy executed the movement
which led to the destruction of Corn
wallis and virtually closed the war.
Knowing that an immense French
fleet under Count de Grasse was ap-
preaching the Chesapeake Bay, Wash
ington moved Rochambeau from
Rhode Island across Connecticut to
the Hudson river, left a small force
there and then started with Rocham-
beau on his superb march to Virginia
after CORVALLIS. Sir Henry Clinton
supposed that the French fleet was
bound to New York and that Wash
ington had started to meet it at Staten
Island, and it was not until Washing
on passed Philadelphia that it dawned
upon Sir Henry that Washington
might be bound for Virginia. 1t was
too late to retrieve the error, and the
attempted diversion made by Bene-
diet Arnold at New London was both
cruel and futile. On the goth of Sep
tember Washington joined with La
fayette and with, 10000 men, of which
1000 were Frenchmen, "bottled up"
CORVALLIS on the peninsula of York
town.

1t was in two divisions, one under de
Barras of eight ships of the line and
eighteen transports with $500 men
and train of heavy artillery. 1t
sailed from Newport, r. l., in August
for the Chesapeake. making a wide
detour to avoid Hood, the British ad-
miral, and his fleet. De Grasse had
raised money at Havana for the Amer
leans, who We're, as we have seen, in
sore need, and sailed with twenty
eight ships of the line through the Ba-
h nj
capes of the Chesapeake. Hood had
looked into the Chesapeake just before
this, and not finding the French fleet
there, sailed on to New York and
joined Admiral Graves, who took com
mand, being the senior admiral, and
the feet, now of nineteen line of battle
ships, went back to the Chesapeake.
De Grasse went out to meet Graves.
The English, exhibiting their usual
temerty, with nineteen ships attacked
the French, who had twenty-four.
They maneuvered and fought some
but no decided advantage was gained
by either side. Before de Barras had
slipped in and landed the seige artil-
lery and troops. Graves, finding the
situation hopeless sailed back to New
York and de Grasse anchored and
blocked the James and York rivers,
thus making an effectual blockade of
CORVALLIS on the sea side. Now about |

The Movements Which Ended the War
for American Independence-Corn-

The CORVALLIS evening of the Ha-

Revolution went off pleasantly and
successfully. About two hundred of
Honolulu's best people were present.
Chief Justice Judd presided. Rev. d.

Effinger called the roll. Eight names
were not responded to. Letters of re-
gret were read from Compatriots War

Chief Justice Judd opened the liter
airy subject of the evening with an adj
dress, bearing most particularly on
the events leading up to Yorktown,
which he read. a map prepared by
Justice Judd and Mr.. Dickey was
used. Speaking directly to the sub

"The first gun of the Revolution

comparative value of gold and silver

ter rather than in that Of the former.
John c. Calhoun is another one of the
men whose speeches Bryan pretends to
quote from. Calhoun said on the cur
rency question:

tc industry and business generally and
an unsound and fiuctuatlnG-now ex-
panding and now contracting, so that
no honest man can tell what to do-as
among the greatest discouragements.
This is one of the passages that
Bryan doesn't quote. Mr.. Bryan quotes
largely from Senator Stewart. too
Senator Stewart at one time wasn't
so much of an advocate of the silver
mine owner as he is now Here is one
of the things that he said in those days
that Mr.. Bryan doesn't quote:
Gold is recognized as the universal
standard of value. 1t is the measure
that must be used. 1t is the measure
by which your wealth must be tested
The wealth of the United
states Is tested by the same rule. II

stone of measurement, and when YOU
depart from that and try to figure up
any other measure which the world
does not recognize you get into con-
fusion.
Still another favorite with the Boy
orator is Andrew Jackson. He tries to
show that Andrew Jackson was in faV-
or of cheap money. Here is what Jack
son said about it in his eighth annual
message:
\ depreciation of the currency is al
ways attended 10y loss to the labor
ing classes. This portion of the com
munity have neither time nor oppor-
tunity to watch the Gibbs and flows Of

are nominally the same. or even some
what higher, they are greatly reduced

rency. which. as it appears Ia make

ciined to consider a blessing.
This is some of the literature that is
going out in large quantities in the
doubtful states. and in smaller quaint
ties everywhere.

by England, for downright foolishness,
is the keeping of poet to sound the
praises of these predatory rulers,
which officer IS known as the poet
laureate" The business of the poet
laureate is to announce. in rhyme,
verse or poetry, the birth of each royal
brat, to signal the victories of English
arms over the king of Ashantee, and
To blaZon like heroic deeds in general.
But the English people are growing
aweary the laureate business. The
latest literary serf to receive this honor
is one Austin. He succeeds Tennyson,
and he signals his advent in q poem
eulogizing the late attempt TO massacre
the inhabitants Of the TranSvaal, which
poem he entities "Jameson'S Ride"
Jameson is the buccaneer who headed
4 mob of land pirates to kill Dom Paul.
The pOetical effort proved as great a
failure as the political escapade Of
Jameson. and the common English peo-
pie are deriding the new poet laureate
