THE WILSON SCHOOL.

The appointment of Mr. F ]. Cardo-
"a, Jr., to the principalship of the Will
son school, seems to give general sat
isfaction. When it became known that
the authorities had decided upon a
male principal, they were besieged by
small army of applicants and their
friends who brought every influence to
bear in favor of the various candidates.
Notwithstanding this importantly the
choice was guided by merit alone an {
after due consideration, Mr.. Cardoza
received the appointment. He has set
himself at once to the task of improv-
ing the condition of the school There
is no doubt of his ultimate success and
it is hoped and believed that at the
close of the year, this will be one of
the model schools of the District. The
night school at this building opened
with about 90 attendants, and the an
ticipated increase will necessitate the
EN- ployment of one or more assistants.

such constituencies as that to which

How sad it is to say goodbye
So We felt on the morning Of the
28th ultimo, when we said good
bye to relatives and friends on leav-
ing the city of Washington to re-
turn to Abbeville. In the eve sma"
hours of morning we reached
Greenville, S. c., and was enter
tanned at the hospitable home Of
Rev. B. +. Mcdowell, pastor of the
! MattOon Presbyterian Church. On
Tuesday, the goth ultimo, at 10 a.
m, We again DO rded the train and
reached Ahbeville at 2 p. IN. Hav-
ing not informed anyone of our
coming, We took the peor lie on sur
prise. AS soon as they heard of our
arrival they came to the college
building aud welcomed us to our
field of labor. Under such circum-
stances our hearts was gladdened.
After having spent pleasant
vacation, We are vigorous and strong
for the work.
The religious and secular work
done in the midst of our people
here has produced set of young
people that any city might be proud
to own. The young women espe-
cialIy are of very superior class.
Many of whom after having drank
from the fount of knowledge right
here at their door, have gone into
darker places AMI labored among
their less fortunate sisters with eX-
cellent results. There are young
men who, fifteen years ago were
mere boys, are examples of prog
ress. A few are engaged in busi-
ness enterprises, others are teach
ing, and some are preaching.
In this letter we shall speak of
the business side of their lives.
here is nothing more important
to the young men tnan to know how
to manage business. In that We
| are sadly lacking. The professional
| walks of life are inviting ana many
are found therein, while that of
the artizsn is too much neglected.
| But there are some young men here
in Abbeville who are actually en-
gagged in business and who receive
the patronage of the whole people.
The leading tailor of this city is a
young man of the race. This same
young man went into partnership
with another and established first
class ice cream saloon, and they
have The push and go aheadiness to
make 1t a success. Another, quite
| a lad, learned the harness making
| trade about a year ago. Now he
has shop of his own, gets all the
work he wants anl is prepared to
teach other young men. Such boys
are walking lights IN any commu.
nlty. Encourage them that others
may be induced to do likewise.
Some of the wealthiest men We
| know began life as these young men.
| But by faithfulness to duty, ener'
gy and push, have overcome oil
difficulties. After all, the race
needs wealth as well as knowled ge.
Let us give more attention to both.
For they are importan factors.

C ty reoppned the 9Th Instant. We,
together with parents and friends.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1896-07-08

AS to boat racing, The Star is eX-
tremely sorry that an intimation of
appearance of an unfair or biased ac-
count of an event has been made.
There was certainly no such intent.
The Star is as familiar with the facts
as the thin-skinned and finicky con-
tributor to the Advertiser, who, if he
really only wants fair play, would be
welcome at this Office with anything
he might have to offer. If The Star
endeavors to be anything, it does try
to be impartial in reporting local
events. 1t has the conviction that it
does cling to and follow this policy.
This is first because such course is
right and secondly because no paper
conducted on the broad lines of giving
the news and standing up for full JUS
tice to all can afford to be partisan.
Critics usually do not read very care
fully and the idea some of them have
of fair play is to be conceded about
twenty-five per cent the best of it.

The costume worn by Minister

The Chinese here do not appear to
have yet taken cognizance of the death
of the Dowager Empress, whom every
son and daughter of the Fowery King
dom almost revered. Celebration of
her birthday by the most plodding and
peaceful of Hawaii's colonies has been
an event second only as festival to
the greeting of the New Year by the
dividuals. 1t was well said of the
woman that she was the mother of
the Empire. That she was the most
remarkable and forceful character of
her time cannot be disputed. She per-
formed prodigies of organization and
government where the ablest and
most experienced men failed ignomin-
iously. 1t is beautiful thing, too,
that she ruled firmly, but not harshly,
that truly justice, as she melted it out,
was tempered with mercy. In the
years to come this woman of humble
birth, once sold as slave, will have
her due tribute. 1t is well nigh i'm
possible at this time to measure her
strength, talent and tact, her tremend-
Gus intellect and marvellous balance.
No other such woman ever lived and
very, very few men have earned the
place in history that she has gained.
Without a stint will be the honor paid
her when the truth of her career be-
comes known to the writer's and speak
ers of the West.
