w. w. DIMOND.

The holidays are approach
ing at the rate of a day every
tWenty-four hours; and this
is the month when children
fix their attention on litera-
ture in which Santa Claus
takes a leading part, and
wives and daughters allow
theirs to dwell on the old
gentleman's purse. An old
lady was once asked the age
when girls gave up playing
with dolls and the answer
came back "When they have
children of their own" So it
is about Santa Claus; child
rem give him up as the
mythical when they are old
enough to realize a flesh and
blood Santa Claus in their
father. If it happens to be a
girl she will cling to the old
gentleman until she happens
to win a Santa Claus who
will be her individual prop
erty.
1t is with these flesh and
blood Santa Claus that we
wish to whisper. On the
Australia which arrived last
week, there were several
large cases of solid silver
ware for US. In turn we
will dispose of it to Santa
Claus. We will have no
difficulty in doing this as the
assortment is from four of
the largest and best factories
IN the United States. You
will have an opportunity to
view the goods later.

SWIMMING MATCH
Probable Free For All
Race This Month.
Two California Speedy Boys VIII
Enter-Hawaiians Expected
TO Compete.

Arrangements are in progress for
a swimming match, open to all, TO
take place in the harbor on the 18th
inst. At present there are two foreign
ers here, Chas. Mitchell and John Mar
shall, who have attained regulations
in California as excellent swimmers,
and it is in order that these men may
have an opportunity to compete that
the race will be made.
Mitchell was member of the Cali
fornia Swimming and Polo Club and
was for a time connected with the
North Beach Swimming Club, and it
was as a member of the latter organ
ization that he made his record on
quarter, half and mile stretches. His
time for the quarter is few seconds
over eight minutes. Beyond that dis
lance Mr. Mitchell is rather reticent as
to the time he has made, but persons
acquainted with him in California say
he was the fastest mile swimmer in
the club.
Marshall was connected, as engineer
his work has been done mainly in
tanks, where the swimmers had a
greater advantage than in the open
water. He has taken part in some i'm
portant matches in California and has
made some good records.
He once swan a half mile in four
teen minutes, defeating Harry Clarke.
present teacher of swimming in the
Olympic Club of San Francisco. Mr..
Marshall. also swan against Grove,
champion of Canada. On this occasion
the Canadian retired before goal was
reached Marshall has been a swimmer
since childhood and has been defeated
but twice, once by being stricken with
cramps and again by being overmatch-
ed. This was the last time he went
into a match
Ed Towse was active in bringing the
two men together, and through him
a meeting was had last night, but the
match could not be pulled off through
disagreement regarding details. Now
Mr.. Towse, rather than have the Homo
lulu public miss an opportunity to wit
ness some first-class swimming, is ar
ranging a free for all for a trophy
which will probably be put up by the
boat clubs or by popular subscription.
If this can be arranged, both Mitchell
and Marshall will go into the race.
Marshall is the assistant stage car
penter at the Opera House. He has not
been in training since he came to the
Islands, though he takes a little exer-
else at the boat house every few days
Mitchell is engaged with the Califor-
MIA Fruit Market, and has recently
gone into the Healani Boat CLUB. lie
has quite reputation as an all around
athlete, and came here more than q
year ago with a view to getting a po-
sition as instructor in the Y. M c.. A

WHY IS THIS?
Query About Cause OF Salvation
Army Arrests.

Query About Cause OF Salvation
Army Arrests.
Why is it that in this city, governed
by an administration known to stand
firm on the side of right, and to uphold
that which is for the best interests of
it's people, that religious body cannot
hold its meetings on the streets with
out being forced to undergo the incon-
venience of being placed under arrest
and marched to the station house? The
Salvation Army came to Honolulu
more than two years ago, and have
held street meetings almost every night
since, and until recently have never
been troubled. Now within the past
two months they have twice been ar
rested and upon trial acquitted. The
Salvation Army draws no larger crowds
now than formerly. Why is it that it
has just dawned upon the minds of the
police to arrest them for obstructing
the streets? 1t looks very much as if
the officers were looking for opportuni-
ties to stop the meetings and to annoy
the army. If crowds gather on the side
walks, why not make them move on d?
Why go to the pains of arresting the
soldiers who are on the street, and be-
sides are only small body and cannot
obstruct travel to any very great ex-
tent? AN OUTSIDER.

Annual Roll Call.

This evening will be held the annual

every member will be present if pos
sible. Any member who cannot be
there to answer to his or her name
can send letter to the pastor, or a
text of Scripture with his or her name,
and these, or extracts from them, will
be read when the name is called.
Many letters and texts Of Scripture

According to reports the coming SUI
gar crop of Louisiana will be one of the
largest ever produced in that State.
There is every prospect that the tom
mage of cane delivered at the factories
will be very heavy, and the yield
should bring satisfactory prices, in
view of the reported damage to the
beet crop and the bad outlook for the
Cuban crop.

l believe this is of vital consequence -

am firmly of the opinion that our nationaI

it ought to indorse and commend the .d-
