tended Maxine Elliott and her sister,

MAKING PROGRESS
Ki1ohana League Will
Have a Fine Exhibition.
for Reception Mon
Membership During the Year.

The members of the Art League, who
carried in their pictures last Satur-
day, had a little foretaste of the COM
ing exhibition. They came in by twos
and threes, and soon the platform and
the Dashboard along two sides of the
hall were lined with the summers art
work. Little by little the oil colors
found their way to one side, and the
water colors were set by themselves,
and the members were such that it
could easily be seen how full the walls
would be.
During the ensuing days the work
of arranging and hanging has gone on,
and now once more the semi-annual
exhibition is about to throw open It's
doors. The reception to members will
be on Monday night, so that on the
next evening the opening to the pub
lie will be made.
A large increase in the membership
has taken place during the last few
months; not only those who have
Joined as patrons and promoters of
pleasant social feature of Honolulu,
but others who will be substantial
contributors. Among the latter is
Mrs. Helen Kelley, who, during the last
six months, has returned to the Island
home of her younger days, bringing
with her the experience of many years
DEVELOPMENT in the use of her brush.
Among the painters of flowers in Cali
fornia, Mrs Kelley has long held prece-
dence, and those who love the art
beautiful in that line cannot fail to be
pleased with what she has to show
at this time. No more substantial
work representing flowers in water
colors has been shown in Honolulu,
and the large and brilliant rose piece,
the equally attractive white chrysan-
themums, as we'll as the pure, clear
stephanotis will be features of the ex
hibition.
Miss Bessie Foster French, the new
instructor of free-hand drawing and
painting at Oahu College, is also among
the new contributors. A short time
since she gave a little exhibition of
her pupils work in her studio in the
old school hall at Punahou, which gave
evidence of enthusiasm, not only
among the scholars there but among
the teachers also. Miss French comes
to us with knowledge gained from New
York art schools and artists, and be-
sides her attractive work in china
painting, in which she has gathered
a deeply interested class, we shall look
for future work from her in oils and
water colors. She is represented on
the present occasion by the latter,
mostly the Eastern landscapes dear to
many, although the old Octagon at
Punahou shows that she has already
begun upon the many available bits
of interest in her new surroundings.
While speaking especially of new
contributors, a close examination will
show that the older members of the
society have followed the injunction to
go forward" and a substantial
growth in merit is evidenced to those
who look beyond what is merely at
tracted to that which shows careful
thought and study The ensuing three
or four weeks will give the people Of
Honolulu a chance to prove this for
themselves.

Gen. GIil's OGer to buy tho Stock Stirs Up
the Seabonrd Mnnngern.

BALTIMORE. Oct 4.-The possible absorption
OF the Seaboard Air Line oy the Southern Rail-
way Company has led up to such serious trouble
In the Seaboard household that tho rate war
with the Southern Company is for the fine for
gotten. Con- John Gill. President of the Balti-
more Mercantile Trust and Deposit Company,
which has been the financial agent of the Sea
board line. has taken issue with President Iioif-
man and Nice-President ST. John regarding the
management Of the road and the rate war, and
has addressed to the stock kholders Of the Sea
board and Roanoke Railroad, the line which
controls the Seaboard system, letter asking
for options on the stock. This letter offered
500 share II a controlling interest in the line
can be secured. The market price OF the stock
10 now about $45.
The offer is made at this time because the an
nual meeting Of the stockholders of the Sea
board and Roanoke Railroad will be held on
next Tuesday at Portsmouth As the offer is so
much higher than the market price of the
stock, it would not be surprising If the control
of the road should pass into the hands of the
parties represented by Zen. Gill. He, however,
asserts that he is not acting for the southern.
About ss5O.o00 in stock constitute control of
the road. The peculiarity of the situation can
be better understood when it is noted that Gen.
Gill is q director OF the aboard Air Line sys-
tenn. and that President Il. Curzon Hoffman of
the Seaboard is IA director of the Mercantile
trust ana deposit COMPANY.
Should the control OF the Seaboard be obtained
BY Gen. GIL, tbs believed that General Manager
st John will he deposed and he is looked upon
by the Baltimore stockholders as being re-
sponsib!e for the present ruinuus rate war.
President Hoffman, as soon Gen. Gill's
proposition was made to the stock holders, sent
o letter to each Of them in which he said that
Gen. MS letter had been issued without the
knowledge, consent. authority. or approval OF
the management and is against your true
interests."
To this letter Gen. Gill to-day made reply that
his proposition TO buy controlling interest in
the Seapoard lOmuany was known to great
many stock holders. and approved by them. He
says II has been his effort for years to stand By
the President of the Sseahoprd. but as man Of
business ana financial experience he has been
compelled 10 take issue with Mr.. Hoffman in
the matter OF the war with the Southern and
does not know Of single gentleman of any
prominence in financial circles in this city or
in any other who does not approve OF his
action" Hesays Mr.. Hoffman does not own
tho Seaboard. but II lis owned by the stock
holders. OF whom am one OF the largest"
Gen. Gill further says that he has already
secured an option on IA large block OF the stock
and. II the controlling interest is gotten. says he
Is assured that it can be sold at SlO0 per share

MRS. LANDRY IN HARD LUCK.
A Runaway and Two Robberies within q
Week.

A week ago Mrs. Annie Landry a widow. OF
GA Union street. Brooklyn. went for a drive in
Prospect Park. She took along a sealskin
sacQue worth $3.50. which she laid beside her
on the seat. AT the Willink entrance to tho
pnrk the horse became frightened and ran
away. A policeman stopped the horse. and
afterward Mrs. Landry discovered that she had
lost her sacque. She advertised offering a re-
ward for its return. During her absence at
Saratoga last Friday postal card was received
at her house signed "R. j." The writer stated
that the sacque had been pawned for S5. and
directed Mrs Landry to meet R. ].
at knickerOocker and Myrtle avenues. Will

sou, Mrs. Landry's nephew, and his wife
met the sender of the postal card. He proved
to be n poorly dressed, mddle-aged man. He
refused to have anything to do with anybody
but Mrs. Landry. Wilson sent q telegram to
his aunt, and she reached Brooklyn Saturday
evening. She and Wilson went to the same
place where he met the stranger tho night be-
fore. The stranger was there and directed Mrs
Landry to 90 alone with him. promising that he
would return her the sacque for small con-
sidernton. Mrs Landry declined to go along
and the man told her to walt for n few minutes
He went away, joining another man on the next
block. Then the sender OF the card returned to
where the widow was waiting and asked her
again to go With him.
For tho second time she refused and the man
walked Off. While Wilson and his aunt were
watching the stranger Roundsman Downsy OF
the Hamburg avenue station. who had also
been keeping an eye on the man, asked Wilson
what the trouble WAS. Wilson told him that the
stranger was trying to bunco Mrs. Landry
Downey hurried after the man ana caught him.
He took him TO the station house. where he said
that his name WAS james Brooks. Later he said
that the name was fictitious. and he refused to
answer any questions
Wilson told the pol ico about the postal card,
and sad he did not be ieve Brooks knew any
thing OF the sacGue but thnt It was probably
his intention TO rob Mrs. Landry. charge OF
yngrancy was made against the prisoner and

ARGUED WITH FING ERs AVID FISTS.
Deaf Mutes Wind Up Discussion with Q
Flight.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 4.-Perhaps it was free
silver or the bicycle question, maybe or it even
might have been a girl. Nobody in New Bruns-
wick except John Lynch and William Sing
knows what the subject Of discussion was be-
cause both Of tn I'm are deaf mutes. At any rate
1t was something serious. They had been to Q
Democratic primary together last night, which,
would seem to indicate that they were tpsia.-. -.sH
politics. Their fingers were doing es5out 500
wiGgles minute they walEsd down the
street after the primary.
In front of =. II. Deckers Hotel they stopped
and began to argue with almost vicious in-
tcnsity. Angry expressions appeared upon
their faces. A crowd gathered about them
Lynch, who had hitherto been talking only
with his right hand. now brought his left into
play and his ten d!gits twnkled so fast that his
hands looked Ike ducks feet. 1t wasn't too
fast for LinE's comprehension however. He
didn't propose 10 be outcIasscd either so he
brought his lief, hand into play and Fang somo
lahtning changes on the double hand alphabet.
1t WAS getting serious. The two men stood face
to face with their noses almost touch
ing. and their eyes Glarng tiercely. A
weird silence prevailed. In reply to some
observation OF LnGs. Lynch forsook the ordi.
nary finger exercise and burst into large. full-
armed profanity. Ling made a retort that al,
most dislocated his shoulders. For q minute ID

turned up his nose. The consensus of opinion
was I hRt ne had remarked:
Lynch, you're damphoOi."
Desire for buttie burned red in the eyes OF
Lynch. but he did nothing more than to hold up
two fingers and then, oubliug his fist, shake IL
close under his opponents nose as one who
should say:
For two cents Id bust the face off you"
" " hoop yelled the crowd. " Don't let him
blur You. Soak him one"
Which was pure waste OF wind, although
well meant Ling retulated upon his opponeub
with equal eH presslyeness. Pointing his fore
finger downward he JaObod 1t violently several
times toward the earth. 1t was a r-grettabO
act. but Enthusiastically II meant:
- on can 20 To hades."
Thcrcupon Lynch delayed no longer tho final
insult. II was the degital and nasnl pantomime
well known to innocent boyhuod. Alter that
hcnsible form. Ling banged Lynch on the nose.
Lynch swatted Ling in the neck and kicked his

1t was stiil lively and an even fight when o

upon the fighters ana hauled them apart, Ho
was William Lynch. II brother of one of the
cOnbnIHnts. With his left hand he argued with
John, and With his right he pointed out the
error of his ways To Ling. After a few seconds
OF MS hmhtueNtrOus exercise he had them
Chlmed down. and before the crowd knew what
WAS happening all three had gone into tho
hote! to have an amicnble drink. So ended the
most remarkable fight ever known In New
Brunswick. and the spectators are still wonders
ing what IL WAS all about.
