ANTICIPATING THE FOURTH
Redondo Had q Unique Parade on the
Streets Yesterday
Showing the Manner In Which They vii
Celebrate the Glorious Fourth Down
There-A Splendid Program

Redondo sent the vanguard of its
Fourth of July celebration to town yes
terday as a sort of forerunner of what
is to happen there today. 1t manifest
ed itself In the form of a unique parade
which was witnessed by many hundreds
on the streets. The procession began at
the Wilcox block shortly after O'clock
marched up Main to Temple, came back
on Spring as far as Fifth, doubled over
to Broadway, and went up to First; from
there 1t crossed to Main and went thence
to Sixth, where it broke up. At the head
of the line strobe a corpulent citizen OF
the little city by the sea-rigged up as
Neptune. He bore only slight resem-
blance to that ancient deity but his ap-
pearance was striking and effective. He
wore the regulation sea moss whiskers-
had real trident, well wound with pa
triotic bunting, and a coral crown
draped with sea weed.
The idea of having Neptune act as
drum major is original with Redondo,
but it went all right, and the dignity of
used as a baton.
The body of the parade was composed
of en-dustered fishermen, who, from
the legend inscribed on the baskets they
bore were going ITO RedOndO." Back
of them came a number of lucky fisher
men who had evidently been to Redon-
do, for they bore a number of fine
trophies of their skill in the shape of
large fish. Then there was troop Of
men dressed in the same fashion, with
linen busters and Napoleon shaped
straw hats decked with flowers, each
bearing aloft palm branch fringed with
+ carnations, and containing a single let
ter, the aggregate of which spelled:
REDONDO. Bringing up the rear was
troop of flower boys, with baskets of
carnations, for which the place Is
famous. from which they tossed small
bouquets into the crowds along the line
of march.
At odd intervals in the procession were
large transparencies, with inscriptions
telling of the rousing good time that is
to be had at Redondo today. They men
toned among other things the yacht
race, general athletic and aquatic sports,
the slide for life, launching of boats in
the surf, and the masquerade bathing
carnival which will be given at the
plunge in the evening.
From indications it is evident that Re-
dondo is going to have glorious Fourth
and that she will afford a royal enter
tainment to all who go there for the
day.
Special trains will be run over the
Santa Fe and Redondo lines and late
trains will accommodate those who re-
main for the evening exercises.

For your Protection. Catarrh "Cures" or
TONES for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. The remedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, so cents.

THE PALAMA MISSION.


The Christmas gathering at the
Palama Chapel Monday evening
was a splendid demonstration Of
the grand work that is being done
for the many children in the Pa
lama district who have heretofore
been left to run wild. Somewhat
removed from the religious center
of the city, it has been impossible
to gather any number of these chill
dren into the Sabbath school, the
Y. NJ. G. A. or any of the institu-
tons for giving the youth higher
moral education than that of the
street. But few months have
passed since the first gathering was
held in the Palama Chapel, but in
those few months a wondrous
change has been wrought. The
boys and girls were first brought
into the Sabbath school. They
were few in number and came
curiosity as much as any
thing. Now we find the numbers
increased, and curiosity has given
place to healthy, active interest.
The boys club, the kindergarten,
both well attended, are but the
first evidences Of the hungry
mouths that were waiting to be fed
with the moral food that will de-
velop Christian manhood and
womanhood. Honolulu is a small
city, but the history of this Pa
lama Mission has thus far proven
hat the church must reach out be-
yond the borders of its edifce and
smaller church homes

in dealing with men and beasts
injured by railroad trains the Jap
anese have a law that would glad
den the hearts of European and
American railroad magnates. The
Japanese argue that, since the
train cannot get ont of the way,
men must, and the father of a
child killed by an engine was
fined heavily for allowing his
child to cross the line while a
train was approaching. In a like
manner the owner of COW was
punished for allowing the bovine
to commit suicide by charging an
express. There is certainly no
danger that Japan's subjects will
voluntarily throw themselves be
fore advancing trains in the hope
of recovering damages.

extent, but President Kruger

1t is to be hoped that the report
of Russia, France and Great Brit

Turkish affairs will not prove a
canard. These nations can, if they
will, work out the salvation of the

that they have accomplished an
understanding satisfactory to all
concerned, the message of peace on
earth, good will to men, will have
a significance to the people of Eu-
