The program of services opened with
the singing of a hymn, followed by the
invocation by Rev. II. H. Parker of
Kawaiahau Church. After another
hymn and reading of scripture by Rev.
0. H. Gulick, Mr.. p. c. Jones delivered
the keys of the chapel to Rev. d. p.
Birnie. Then came the reading of SEN
tences of dedication by Rev. D. P. Bir-
ME, followed by the dedicatory prayer
by Rev. S. r. Bishop.
The hymn by the builders of the
chapel, I'VE Thank Thee, o, Lord, was
sung by the following native boys: Al

sage of the wide tire bill and consider
alton of House amendments to the cur
rent receipts appropriation bill.
After the opening exercises, Senator
Holstein, from the Judiciary Commit
tee, reported on the bill giving right to
take water from the Wailuku river.
The committee recommended tabling
the measure, as it was bad precedent
to grant such rights to private corpora
tions. Consideration Of the bill and re-
port was deferred owing to the absence
of Senator Lyman.
The bill relating to jury trials passed
the second reading.
The bill relating to a public park for
HilO was also deferred on account of the
absence Of Senator Lyman
Senator McCandIess' wide tire bill
then came up on third reading. The
bill again met with opposition from
Senators Hooking and Wright Senator
Baldwin said he had decided that the
bill was not as bad as # might be Min
lister Cooper then played the trump
card for Senator McCandless by stating
that the Executive favored the meas

bIish a Sunday school first of all. The
outline of the work as laid out was de
scTibed as being Of very much the same
nature as that carried on in other
churches. Services would be held in
the evening, and DR.. Birnie announced
that he would occupy the pulpit at that
time next Sunday, as we'll as the one
following. The speaker dweIt upon the
fact that the congregation for the
chapel must be found in the neighbOr-
hOod-the burden Of the work carried
on by the people OF the locality. The
speaker referred to boys clubs and
other ways of advancing interest in the
chapel. Informal social gatherings were
advocated. Rev. Birnie said that the
seats would be free to all those who
wished to enter the doors of the chapel.
An opportunity each Sunday would be
given the people to contribute what
they might feel they could afford to-
ward the expenses of the church Work
and belief that the work would succeed
was the secret to the success of the
chapel.
Prayer was Offered by Rev. Leading
ham. and after singing another hymn
the benedictiOn was pronounced.

LAS full of "reminiscences as an egg
is of meat" remarked George Strate-
meyer as he introduced an Advertiser
reporter to William T. Porter, the vet
eran scenic artist of San Francisco, who
is now a guest of the Arlington. Mr..
Porter was here last about fifteen years
ago, for the Music Hall Association,
to supply all the scenery for the old
Opera House. His genial manner won
for him a host of friends, and his work
made his name known to those who did
not become personally acquainted with
him. And neither the friends nor the
theater going public have forgotten
him, for most of the time since his ar
rival on the Australia last week has
been taken up in visits among them.
Today he begins work on the scenery
for the new Opera House, his services
having been secured by Mr.. Irwin while
in San Francisco. Another notch in
Mr. Irwin's string of credits, by the
way, for he proposes to have not only
the best auditorium the money will en-
cry. Mr.. Porter is unquestionably at
the head of his profession.

be, he said to a reporter. Mr.. Irwin

Health Hints.

insufficient mastication and food
that disagrees and only tickles the pal
ate should be avoided.
No one neglects bodily exercise to
any degree without paving the way for
future trouble.
A proper scheme for healthy living
would involve the training of all the
members of the body.
Muscles unused become smaller in
size, flsbby and weak, use hardens,
Strengthens and makes them more re-
sponsive to the will.
A quick person always has the mus
cles in good trim.
Ready obedience of muscles to will
is a very important thing.
Exercise does more than strengthen
and harden muscles. A microscopic
examination shows muscles constantly
used are the more healthy.
The value Of bodily organ depends
upon its use. The oftener it is disinte-
grated by action and rebuilt by thn
proper putting together OF the food
stuffs from the digestive organs, the
more times it is remade, the better it is.
The use of the muscles exeris not
able influence upon circulation.

Lord Russell's visit to America re-
minds the London Chronicle of an an
cient story. It says that during Lord
Russelrs previous tour In this country
with Lord Coleridge. he came In con-
tact with many members of the bar.
Including Mr.. Evarts. 1t was while
walking with Mr.. Evarts one day along
the banks of a stream that his atten-
ton was called to a point at which
Washington, according to tradition.
had thrown dollar right across. The
water was wide, and Lord Russell
looked doubtful.
You know a dollar went further Ia
those days than it goes now" the
American lawyer blandly insinuated.
"Ah," said Lord Russell, quite equal
to the occasion, and it may have been
easy enough to Washington; It is well
known that he threw a sovereign across
the Atlantic"

Disposal OF Sewage in Birmingham.
One Of the worst features under the
old management was the disposal of
the sewage. By way Of remedy two sys-
TENS have found adoption. Under one
the Health Committee collects the offal
Of houses. and either destroys 1t or
turns 1t into fertilizers. This Is more
offensive and less successful than 1t
might be made, but is apparently ne
cessity until the pan system has been
abandoned. A sewage farm of nearly
1900 acres has been developed severad
miles from the city, some 400 feet lower
In elevation. The sewage, first mixed
with lime to prevent too rapid decom-
position and to assist in the preciplta-
ton Of the solid matter, is passed
through a series Of depositing tanks,
during which process the mud Is re-
moved. The remainder is dug into the
land, one-third Of which Is dealt with
each year, the effluent being discharged
in harmless state into the river Tame.
Upon the other two-thirds are grown
early vegetables, and grain and hay
for COWS kept for milk and market.
The net annual cost to the city Is about
