clouded the blue of sunny skies, the K. o. J. society struggled for existence, and came out victorious, as 1t always does, and always will It was because we had parents, sisters and friends and those good old standbys, our hon. orary members, to give us helping hand until we reached the top of the hill, That Is the reason l, as president of the K. o. J. Active association ex- tend to you all hearty welcome
 The K. O. J. spirit, which is soon im- bued into a member after his initiation, lasts for the remainder of his life, and when I see some of the older members, whose hair is now streaked with grey, and when they hear of the good deeds done by the K. o. J. their eyes brighten and their hearts are made glad.
 It is noteworthy that an organization consisting of Jewish young men com mencing at the age of sixteen can live to celebrate it's twentyfifth anniversa- ry, and we claim the distinction of be- ing the oldest organization of its kind | in the world.
 Ladies and Gentlemen, not only are We proud of our society, but also ex- | tremely proud of the members who have left our ranks to join the honora- | " association. On looking backward | for a number of years and seeing the doctors, lawyers, business men and | brothers who now hold high and re- spected positions, the K. o. J. society | has sent out to battle against the ups | and downs of this life, cannot but | help remark that it is no wonder such men succeed after receiving such a | foundation, which only a society based on the grand principles of charity, lite rature and sociability among it's mem | bers can give.
 | Although strictly secret society | how I would like you all to see a new member after his initiation; the way he is obliged to get up and make his maid en speech, which he generally does with fear and trembling and a great | big lump in his throat, but in the space of a few meetings we all wish we had not been quite so anxious to have had
 him speak, for he does nothing but
 talk, talk all the time, and has devel-
 oped into quite an orator, which ac-
 counts for the number of lawyers the
 K. O. J. society has turned out.
 | As for the charity we do, will not
 break the unwritten law that has ex-
 isted in the K. o. J. society for the last l twenty-five years, that is, never tc
 speak of it, but I will simply say il there is ever a poor and needy family
 that needs assistance, the K. o. J. soci-
 ety stands ready to render them all the
 aid that lays in their power.
 Sociability, the last word in our mot.
 to, just let me refer you all to our sis. | ters and sweethearts, and I know they
 will give us quite a boom in that direc. | ton.
 Tn conclusion, let me say word tt all of the married people who have l sons nearing the age of sixteen, ant that is this: If you wish your sons tc
 enter a school where only the true
 spirit of the Jewish religion is taught
 and where none of the vices whici
 young men are tempted is fostered let them join the K. o. J. society an( get started on the road of life, witl charity. literature and sociability for {

Honolulu's warm climate il

Honolulu's warm climate is
conducive of thirst to a greater
degree than that of colder zone.
The average business man loses
also, to a degree, the amount OF
energy and nervous force common
enough in the bracing air of
American cities. These two phases
of our climate make it more
necessary than elsewhere to slim
ulate the system with an invigor-

ARE ALL WHITE CATS DEAF?

Though ! have often heard it I never
was fully satisfied that all white cats
are naturally deaf until recently" said
a scientific gentleman, who devotes con-
siderable of his time to experimenting
with the lower order of animals. Il was
aware that Prof. Bell, in his original ex-
periments in connection with the tele-
phone, had ascertained and stated that
his experience with white cats was that
that they were all either deaf or very
deficient in hearing, and that other ex-
perimenters in the same direction had
reached similar conclusions. To satisfy
myself | recently secured in all twenty
three white cats and experimental on
them, one at time.
I'm every case l found them stone deaf.
In carrying the experiment further |
found that white dogs and white horses
are deficient in hearing, and that many
OF them are entirely deaf So are white
rats and whits mice. | am confident l
do not overstate it in regard TO white
cats, though ! have only personally ex-
perimented with twenty three, and, of
course, can only speak positively in re-
gard to them. l don't hazard much,
however when I make the bold state
ment that all white cats are deaf

THE LAW STUDENTS

The call which was published in the
Sunday papers for meeting of the law
students of this city, at Justice Morris
On's court room, was responded to by
the very satisfactory number of thirty
six last evening. Roger s. Page was
chosen temporary chairman and VIM.
M. Hilliker temporary secretary after
which the usual committees to arrange
for permanent organization were duly
appointed Messrs. James B. Scott and
Curtis d. Wilbur addressed the assem-
blage, setting forth their various expe-
riences with law associations. Mr..
Scott expressed the opinion that if the
students moved cautiously he had no
doubt law school of permanent char
acter would be established in this sec
ton. His statements certainly seemed
borne out by the number who had gath .
cred, anxious to learn the infinite lessons
of the law.
The meeting showed its Appreciation
of Justice Morrison's courtesy by ex-
tending to him vote of thanks for the
use of his court room and adjourned to
meet at the same place next Tuesday
evening.

ALODGING HOUSE ROW
In Ejecting Undesirable Tenants a
Landlord Is Badly Used Up

With an eye in sling, his nose bro
ken and otherwise badly damaged,
Christian Olsen, a lodging house keeper
at No. 319 West Fifth street, came into
the police station yesterday afternoon
in search of the district attorney, whom
he wanted to issue a complaint for bat
terry.
Olsen said that about a week ago he
rented a room to a couple who repre-
sented themselves as husband and wife.
He soon had cause to suspect otherwise,
however, and decided to get rid of his
undesirable tenants. Yesterday after
noon he went up and told the woman
that she would have to vacate at once,
and quarrel ensued. The male compan-
ion, F.. Goldthwait. took hand at this
juncture and the trouble occurred. When
the smoke of battle had cleared away
Olsen was not in the fight at all. After
washing the blood from his disfgured
countenance he fastened to the police
station. swore to the complaint, and a
few minutes later Goldthwait was land
ed in Jail on a charge of battery. The
case will be called in the police court

blurred, and that when the ballot was
folded the impression of the stamp also
appeared opposite the name of H. Clay
Needham. The ballot as far as con-
gresham was concerned was then
thrown out.
In this way the Express accounts for
the tremendous falling off in the vote
of McLachlan. 1t claims that several
thousand ballots stamped both Need
ham and McLachlan were thrown out.
1t does seem strange that on all of
these ballots the ink should gro" So
plentiful when the name of McLachlan
was reached and that it did not apply to
any other candidate when his name was
stamped.
The general impression had previously
been that when McLachlan's name was
reached on the ballot the ink gave out
with about 1000 Republicans in this dis
trict At least they failed to stamp his
name at all, and either stamped that of
his opponent or passed the matter over
all together.
However, If Mr.. McLachlan should
endeavor to unseat Mr.. Barlow on the
flimsy pretext outlined in the Express
1t would result in recount of the ballots
in this county, and there are hundreds
of Democrats who would be made happy
of this was done.

PIGEONS OUTWIT A HAWK.
Timid Birds Prove More Than Match
for Their Natural Enemy.

An observing southern sportsman
told recently about a flock of pigeons
that measured brains with hawks and
came out on top in the contest. Fl. 5.
Edwards owned a flock of pigeons which
one day were cut off from their cote
by large hawk The pigeons knew that
if the hawk once got above them, one at
least of their number would go to make
the hawk a meal, and so up they flew
in circles, perhaps going higher than
the hawk. The latter kept under the
pigeons and leisurely followed their
iaborious movements.
Then came o curious and unexpected
sight to Mr. Edwards. Every pigeon
closed its wings, and they appeared to
be the size of sparrows, and down they
came past the hawk at a terrific rate
That astonshed the hawk. 1t actually
lodged the dropping birds and missed
half dozen wing strokes before it got
in full chase of them. When it got down
to the barnyard not pigeon was in
sight-some were in the cote, others in
the porch, two in the well house and one
in the kitchen. The hawk had been out
witted completely. 1t is a question how
the pigeons managed to check their
fall, as they did not slacken up till
they were about sixteen or twenty feet
above the ground. when they scattered
in all directions to escape the hawk

A RARE ENTERTAINMENT
The Celebrated Model of "the Taber-
nacle of Israeli

The celebrated model of 'the Taber-
nacle of Israel" pronounced by the press
and the great Chautauquas as the most
magnificent and literal reproduction the
world ever saw, is to be presented, ex-
hibited and lectured upon by Prof. J. w.
kelchner in Simpson tabernacle tomor-
row and Friday afternoons and even
ings. This is alike instructive to Jew
and Christian, Bible scholars clergymen
Sunday school scholars, teachers and
the general public. Aside from the
scholarly and eloquent lectures by Prof.
Kelchner, this model of the original tab
ernacle constructed by Moses is a re-
markable work of art 1t required seven
years study and labor, together with
an outlay of $4,000. Fifty different
ferent parts of the world. Some of the
vessels of gold. silver, with the rugs,
were made in Palestine. Rich drapings,
sealskins, rams skins and goats hair
add to its dazzling beauty. The model
contains 100 pieces and weighs 1900
pounds, and is one-eleventh the size of
the original. 1t is pronounced by Bible
students and ministers to be the most
magnificent and extensive reproduction
of the Mosaic tabernacle and its sur
roundings that has ever been attempted
since the time of the great original. A
trip to the Holy Land affords less in
struction and information with regard
to this ancient sanctuary of Israel

its relation to the divine life than car
