ton that the volcano has increased
steadily in activity from the frs
outbreak early Tuesday. The poin
Of eruption is Mokuaweoweo, yer,
near the summit aud OH the Kau
side. A flow would most probabl,
go off in that direction.
So far as known no one has YET
ventured on the mountain, though
excursions are planning. All Ha
wall is interested in the great phe
nomenon. At Hilo there is a feel
ing of some relief that the eruption
is on the opposite side. With sub,
stantial lava beds as carriers il
would not take long at this time
for flow to reach that city.
On the Kau side people antici.
pate lava flow at any moment.
Kamaainas say nothing short of il
can be expected. There the erup.
ton is in full view. By day a cloud
of smoke issues. At times it shoots
up in columns with the escaping
gas or steam. By night the effect
is magnificent. A red glare hangs
over, and flames constantly shoot
upward into the air. The glow on
the clouds is described as a grand
sight.
Though conceded that the flow
will be in the direction of the last
one, no fears are entertained i'll Kau
on account of it. The last flow
went southwest. divided in Kau
and reached the sea on the West
and the South. The North stream
passed between Kau and Kona and
the South went down near Waio-

THE LIFE OF LINCOLN
sUCCE OF THE FIRST LECTURE BY
REV. DIR. Ollie.
Early Days of the War President-ilius-
trations-In the White
House Music.

The First M. L. church was
crowded Thursday evening to hear
the lecture of Rev. DR.. Ollie on
Lincoln and the Civil War"
Splendid illustrations were project
ed upon the screen.
In the beginning the lecturer de-
voted fifteen minutes to descrip-
ton of the surroundings of Lin
coins birthplace and early associa-
tons, the war President as a boy
and as a young man. His trials
and efforts to get an education were
carefully drawn out.
Many incidents connected with
Lincoln's earlier years were touched
upon. Some were pathetic and
some highly amusing. Next came
his entrance into the Legislature of
his native State and finally his sp-
pearsnce in national politics. The
speaker related his first acquaint-
ance with slavery during a chance
visit to New Orleans.
Next came Lincoln as President
OF the United States and incidents
of the Civil War. There were a
half dozen views of Gettysburg,
one showing the stone wall at
which the backbone of the Con-
federacy was broken. There were
also views of Manassas, Chica-
manga, Chattanooga, Lookout
Mountain, Antietam, Fredericks-
burg, Five Forks, Shiloh, Vicks-
burg and the. Virginia campaigns.
Then came life size portraits of
the leading generals Of both sides,
including GRAFT, Meade. Thomas,
Sheridan, Sherman, Farragut, Lee
and Jackson. The lecture closed
with reference to the assassination
of Lincoln by Booth on the night OF
April ID, 1865, with view of the
same.
During the evening the audience,
led by Prof. Richards, sang March.

Mr.. Schmidt, that to single out

ing to the Exchange, valued a,
Sr7S 81. All the depositors are
women; they pay 10 per cent.
commission on all articles sold
and, since November, an annual
deposit fee of one dollar. This is
customary elsewhere. There are
6o depositors. Commissions on
goods sold up to April I'd, amount
ed to $I3o.I3. Amount paid de-
positors 81, 3oI.25, Fees from de-
positors $32.
The lunch room was not opened
till November. Receipts from this
source have been S2S2.45.
Expenses for the year have been
81, Io5. So; and receipts $eI4.o3;
making the outlay SIoo 90; more
than the incoue. 1t will readily be
seen that the Exchange is in no
immediate danger of an income
tax.
1t is interesting to note that dur
ing the month of March three
fourths of the money paid deposit
ors went to Hawaiian women.
Goods on hand April I'd for de-
positors were valued at $4z6. 30. 1t
is little pathetic to notice that
goods valued at $1,000 have had
to be returned to depositors, there
being no sale for them.
