MESSRS. HATCH AND COOPER.
lmpressions-At His Desk-Pleasant
in Conversation-No Politics With
Him. but with Olney, Yes.

Letters were received at the For
eign Office Thursday from Ministers
Hatch and Cooper at Washington.
Both give interesting accounts of in
terviews with Secretary Olney and
President Cleveland The President
was met at noon of December in his
Office. Secretary Olney introduced
the Hawaiian representatives.
OF Mr.. Cleveland, Minister Cooper
writes: "He received us most cord
tally, and conversed as if he had
known us all his life. He looks to be
man of great force. When we ar
rived he was seated at the historic
desk in the Presidents Office with a
mass of state documents piled around
him. During the interview no refer
ence was made by anyone to politics. $
The Ministers report several pleas
ant meetings with Mr.. Olney. Politics
were discussed on at least one occa-
sion. The situation is reported to be
that the Hawaiian question could not
be reached at the present session, even
if the administration felt disposed to
submit it to Congress.

"The teacher was quiet and alert.
She is very anxious to visit other
schools"
In closing Mrs. Dillingham; stated

A Modern Typewriter.

Nowadays we demand modern
things. Our great-grandfathers
used quill pens, They were the best
writing implements then. Few
writer's use them now. They are
out-of-date.
To-day a Typewriter is the most
important adjunct in an Office equip
ment. There isno question about it.
They save time, do the work of
several people.
The Peerless Typewriter
stands out prominently as a modern,
up-to-date machine. 1t combines all
the good points Of any machine on
the market, while it has none of the
defects found in other makes.

FOUNDERS DAY.
The Kamehameha School Celebration
and Its Chief Features.

The field sports at 2:3O tomorrow
will undoubtedly result in close
struggle between Punahou and Kd-
mehameha for the first place, though
no great records are seriously appre-
hended. The preceding contest, last
year, was very close and although the
rivalry was keen, the sportsman-lille
attitude of both clubs left no room
for bad blood. Punahou is likely to
outdo their previous record and Ka-
mehameha has not the strength in in
dividual instances it had last year.
The public will be interested to
know something of the nature of the
memorial exercises to be held in the
evening of Founders Day. In the first
place there will be little i'm the line OF
addresses. The evening is largely in
the hands of the pupils. The design
IS TO make the building of memorial
impressive; so it will be done in sill
euce save where choruseS are inter-
spersed. The emblematic costumes of
the builders will be varied as adapted
to each of the individual stones of the
building. You are cordially invited
to be present and arrive at your own
conclusions as to the meaning of the
whole, especially in its relation to the
pupils.

HOLIDAY FESTIVITIES INAUGU-
RATED By LITTLE ONES.
Six Kndergartens Assembled at Queen
Emma Hall-Had Tree Outdoors
Presents Made to Parents.

\ picture that would be hard to
duplicate anywhere on the planet
was presented this morning on the
large lawn in front of Queen Emma
hall onn Nuuanu street. 1t was the
Christmas gathering of all the Kinder
garten schools in Honolulu.
Six different schools were consoli-
dated and all took part in the eNer-
cises. There must have been fully four
hundred little ones in the cosmopoli-
tan gathering and a quieter and hap
pier lot of children could not be found
anywhere. The Kindergartens repre-
sented wore: Chinese, Miss Carrie
Snow, with three Chinese assistants:
Hawaiian, Miss Morris, with two as
sistants; Portuguese, Mrs. Tarbell,
with two assistants; Japanese, Miss
Kellogg, with two assistants Foreign,
Miss Mary Alexander, with three as
sistants; Palama district, which is
thoroughly cosmopolitan, Miss Buckley
with two assistants.
In the center of the lawn stood Il
large Christmas tree burdened with
presents. But there were none for the
little children. They were for their
parents and were little trinkets made
| by them in school which they present
ed to their parents as Christmas gifts.
| The presents consisted of paper leis
galore, made of various strikingly
pretty colors, rope busters, little bask-
cts, cornucopias, cotton and paper
dolls, match scratchers, pen wipers,
children's hemmed wash clothes and
many other neat and handy little
things. The Chinese pupils made sew
eral Chinese combs.
There was not one of the little tots
but what had present on the tree
for his parents, sisters. brothers or
some other dear friend. Most of them
had two or three gifts to make as
many hearts glad.
\ Honolulu lady who devotes :;
great deal of her time to the Kinder
garten work was overheard to say:
There is nothing for them on the
tree. They are all gifts of theirs. This
work will surely teach them to be
Thoughtful for others who are so dear
to them"
An informal program was gone
through with under the direction OF
Miss Lawrence, who has the Kinder
garten schools of the city largely
under her supervision. \ grand march
occurred around the driveway in
front, after which all joined in one
song. Each school then participated
in the exercises, singing songs and per
forming simple exercises, \ piano
was on the lawn.
During the exercises people swarmeG
about the premises. Many parents
were present and the different nation,
alities were brought together in q
most friendly feeling. This is one o.
the happy results brought about by
the cosmopolitan kindergarten school
Mrs. Charles NJ. Hyde, the president
of the kindergarten Association, and
a number of other ladies who are ac
tive members, were there and took
much interest in the doings of the
children.
The Kindergarten schools will now
be closed two weeks for the HOLIDAYS

How Arkansas is Pronounced.

There is great diversity of pronuncia-
ton for the name, Arkansas. Some pro-
nounce as it is spelled, with the accent on
the second syllable. This however, is
Incorrect; it should be pronounced as
though spelled Arkansaw, with accent on
the first and last syllables.
According to letter written the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger by H. B. Armistead,
secretary of Arkansas, this pronunciation
was determined by act of Legislature in
1881. A part of the statute reads:
"Resolved, By both Houses of the Gen
eral Assembly, that the only true pronun-
citation of the name of the state, in the
opinion Of this body, is that received by
the French from the native Indians, and
committed to writing in the French word
representing the sound, and that it should
be pronounced in three syllables, with the
final s. silent, the "a in each syllable with
the Italian sound, and the accent on the
first and last syllables, being the pronunci-
alton formerly universally and now still
most commonly used, and that the pronun-
citation with the accent on the second sylla-
BILE with the sound of "a in man and the
sounding of the terminal IS is an innova-
ton to be discouraged"

where was Mr.. PowersP What did he dc
to endear himself to the young Republicans

Another contemporary in urging the claims
OF Col. Haskins says that some of the other
candidates are young and can wait then
time this is the same old plea that has
been used against any man seeking Office
in Vermont under so years of age almost
since time immemorial. Col. Haskins il
an able man and courteous gentleman, but
this is poor argument to use in bolster
ing up his cause.
Of the candidates named we believe thai
Mr.. Lord is the most available. From q
personal acquaintance extending over sew
eral years, we can express only admira-
ton for his career. He is man of good
education graduate Of Dartmouth college,
the descendant of an illustrious family, the
most prominent member being old Presi-
dent Lord of Dartmouth, a lawyer of un-
usual ability and success and legislator Of
experience. Like many other men of bril-
liant parts he was for many years the slave
of an inordinate appetite for alcoholic stim-
ulants, but unlike many others has com
pletely reformed and from being a pitied,
perhaps despised, barrister of small repute
has worked his way into the front rank Of
the leading men of the state and is to-day
the trusted and honored representative of
his native place, the city Of Montpelier.
Mr.. Lord, with all his faults, has always
been friend to young men, and opposed,
as we unalterably are to the sentiment that
men should seek preferment in politics in
Vermont only after their heads have be-
come gray with the SHOWS of many winters,
we take pleasure in saying this much In
Mr.. Lords favor cheerfully and unso-
licited.

Bad Politicians in New Hampshire.

The Claremont Advocate has taken upon
itself to enlighten the world regarding

This is the way the naughty boys are
scolded.
But it is idle to talk of what should be
done. Present day legislators 90 to Con.

This is indeed compliment to the hon
esty and integrity of the farmers Of New
