YOUNG MEN TO THE FRONT.

The proposition that has been made
for the young men of the city to take q
more active part in the administration
of the business affairs of the Young
Mems Christian Association is one thai
ought to meet with hearty response
from the younger members to whom the
offer has been made.
With the official personnel as il
stands today, the name Young Mems
Christian Association is practically a
misnomer. While the men controlling
the destinies of the Association have by
no means passed the zenith of activity,
| their influence may be classed as pater-
nal. They began as young men, and
by constant, conscientious and self-sac-
rificing labor have made the Associa-
| ton leading power in the work of
bringing young men forward into life
of Christian activity. -
Now comes the question whether the
young men of the community, who
have profited by the unrelenting toll Of
their predecessors will take the respon-
sibility of carrying the work forward
Will they put their shoulders to the
wheel in the administrative affairs of
the Association, bear the burdens and
share in the success? There certainly
should be no hesitation. The opportu-
nifty offered is not only privilege, but
"a duty. The Young Mems Christian
Association of today, with its valuable
property and various departments for
amusement and instruction, stands sec
ond to few, if any, similar organizations
in cities the size of Honolulu. AS BUSH
ness proposition it is firmly established.
By the young men coming into the
foreground there would also be placed
upon them an obligation to press on in
the religious work. AS members simply
there is always a feeling that the work
will be taken care of by men in office;
but the new responsibility resulting from
the community looking to younger Of
ficers for the success of the institution
as a moral influence would undoubtedly
inspire a new enthusiasm that will be
beneficial among the present member,
ship and those who may be led to join
in the work in the future. Increased re-
sponsibility is good tonic to bring al
young mans ability to the surface.
1t should not be understood that the
older members will withdraw their
financial or moral support. They will
simply step aside to put the work where
it belongs, and stand by ready to render
assistance by wise counsel in whatever
plans or problems that may arise. The
young men of today must sooner or
later become the leaders, and it is emil
nently fitting that they should step to
the front at this time, when they can
profit by the helping hand which will
always be extended by the older MEM
bers. There is no better time for the
young men to make a decisive move,
and they owe it to those who
have done such noble work in the
past, they owe it to themselves, to &C
cept the opportunity for directing active
Christian work which is now offered
them.

arch Is BIamed-Troops on the Move.

LONDON, March 2o-The House was
occupied an hour today with various
questions asked by John Morley, Sir
William Harcourt and John Dillon re-
garding the expenses of the Nile expe-
dition and the understanding with Italy
regarding the steps taken.
Joseph Chamberlain, the Secretary of
State for the Colonies, replying for the
Government, contended that all the
opposition arguments were tainted
with preconceived determination to
evacuate Egypt. He pointed out the
benefits resulting to that country from
the British occupation, saying nothing
in recent history was a subject for
greater pride than the peaceful revolu-
ton in Egypt. The finances had been
restored and it's administration was
strengthened, and other benefits had
been conferred upon that country.
All authorities, he added, agreed that
the withdrawal of the British troops
would mean that all this work was to
be undone, and vast majority of Eng
lishmep were convinced that the work
of Great Britain in Egypt was not COM
pleted, and that it would be dishonor
able to leave Egypt until it was COM
pleted.
The situation at Wady Halfa was bad
but Mr.. Chamberlain explained that it
might have been borne for some years
longer had it not been for the defeat of
the Italians. Now, however, it was felt
that if Kassala fell, the effect would be
incalculable upon the Egyptian inter
ests, and if Italy was again defeated
many tribe hitherto alienated from
the Khalifa would rejoin his forces, and
he might make great future effort to
destroy Egypt and the civilization of
which England was the protector.
Therefore 1t was of paramount i'm
psrtance to Egypt that Kassala should
not fall, and the advance of the British
Egyptian troops up the Nile was die
tated from this consideration. The wis
est policy for Egypt was to anticipate
tie attack and prevent the concentra
ten of the Dervishes, thereby creating
a diversion in favor of Italy.
Mr.. Chamberlain further said that
Germany supported Great Britain. Aus
trfa warmly approved, and Italy thank
fHiiy accepted it. In regard to France
and Russia, the Government waited.

The report of the Audit Act Commis-
sion is slumbering peacefully in the
hands of the Executive, and from the
remarks made by one Of the Ministers,
bids fair TO come before the Legislature
in a new form, if it comes at all. The
principal criticism passed upon the
scheme of the commission is that it
contemplates too radical a reform.
With the books of more than one de-
partment showing losses from the dis
honesty of clerks, and the Auditor Cen
eral stating in his report that still an
other department is deficient in the
method of bookkeeping, it would appear
that : reform at least bordering on a
radical edge was necessary. There is
no doubt that the bookkeeping depart
ment Of the Government is wonderful
ly crude, and that the business commu-
nifty is elamoring for change in the
method of handling Government bills
II viii at east do no harm to put the
Audit Act before the Legislature and

CAUGHT HIS TRAIN ON HORSEBACK.
Runaway Locomotive Had Many Sleep
ing Passengers In Tow.

ing Passengers In Tow.
Early one morning the engineer and
fireman Of the Santa Fe overland train,
bound east, when near Cajon pass, inn
agined they saw something Oh the track
fight ahead. thinking the train was
about to lie wrecked they both jumped.
The engineer was rather badly hurt, but
when the fireman picked himself up out
OF the dust he found that the engine had
made kindling wood of a wagon 10
which two horses had been attached.
Their driver had seen the headlight of
the engine and had jumped in time TO
save himself, and the animals them
selves were cropping the dried grass
along the roadside, which showed that
they had not been greatly disturbed by
the accident.
But the train, with nobody at the en-
gine's throttle. was plunging away
through the darkness, the passengers
asleep in their berths, utterly uncon-
scious that they were being drawn by n
wild locomotive.
The fireman, who had been left be-
hind, thought he would try to Overtake
the flying train on foot Then he changed
his mind and, jumping astride one of
the horses, he set out after the runaway
train. He knew it must stop shortly, as
ii had to climb a very steep grade, and
if the fire under the boilers was not kept
up the supply of steam would not fur
nish sufficient pressure to keep the
wheels goiug around. The vagrant train
did stop mile and u half from where
the accident occurred. There did not
seem to be any reason for an Interrupt
tion of the journey just at that point,
and so the conductor and brakeman hur-
ried ahead with their lanterns to ask the
engineer what had given out.
When they found the cab empty, Of
course the trainhands were very much
mystified They asked each other 4 good
many questions, and We're engaged in
looking up theories to account for the
strange disappearance of the engine
crew when the fireman came Looping
along on the horse he had borrowed.
After explanation had been made. Inc
turned his horse toward this city and
brought the first tidings the railroad
people had of the missing train. a hach
was sent out to the scene with another
engineer, and as SOON as steam was
raised the overland went on over the
hill through CajOn pass. The same car
riage brought the injured engineer t.
the city.-San Francisco Examiner.

Is a Countess and a Brewer.

A unique occupation for a woman is
reported from Berlin. The proprietor Of
4 large brewery there received request
from Russian lady to be shown the
interior arrangements of the brewery
After looking at various processes
through which the golden beverage has
to go the lady inquired for several de
tails of the pneumatic machinery in the
malthouse, which proved to the brewer,
to his great surprise, that she was per
fectly familiar with every detail of the
entire complicated machinery. Upon in
quiry it was learned that the lady, a
Russian countess, had large acreage
of barley growing on her estate, and in
order to increase her revenue from this
source she had built brewery, which she
managed all alone. She was interested
very much in the pneumatic mailing
apparatus because she could not get
skilled labor necessary for the produc-
tion of malt ON her Russian estates.
Tasting the product of the Berlin brew
cry, she stated that her own beer was
not much inferior to the German prod
net. When few days later the brewer
received some samples of the lady's
Russian beer, he pronounced it excel
lent and not inferior III any respect to
the best Bohem AN or German beer.
This lady is believed TO be the only
woman brewer in Europe -Philadel-

and Piano manufacturer, is building
more Organs and Pianos than ever.
In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a pen
niless pillow boy, and by his indomit-
able will he has worked his way up
so as to sell SO far, nearly 900 of
Beatty's Organs and Pianos since
1870. Nothing seems to dishearten
him; obstacles laid in his way, that
would have wrecked an ordinary man
forever, he turns to an advertisement
and comes out of it brighter than
ever. His instruments, as is well
known, are very popular and are to
be found in all parts of the world.
We are informed that during the
next ten years he intends to sell 200,
600 more of his make; that means a
business of $40 ,OOO, 900, if we average
them at s100 each. 1t is already the
largest business of the kind in exist
