Santa Claus is extremely fond of re-
ceiving letters from the little ones.
He generally offers a valuable prize
of some kind to well behaved children
and this year he has notified Wall,
Nichols Co., who are to act as his
agents here, to offer in his name n
beautiful French doll to the Honolulu
girl or boy who writes him the most
original letter. Any little one under
ten years of age may compete for the
doll, which is sure to be highly priced
by the lucky recipient Now, girls,
this is your opportunity. Brush the
cobwebs and dust of puzzling ques-
tons out of your minds and write the
old gentleman a nice letter; some
thing different from anything you
have ever written before. You may
ask your papas and mammals how 70
spell the words but the thoughts and
good wishes should be all your own.
On honor, now.

MIR. Fairba INKS Lecture.

THE Ride That Saved an Empire" was
the title Of the lecture delivered in the
First Congregational Church last Friday
evening by Mr.. J. w. Fairbank of Seattle
Wash. The subject was the famous Whit
man ride CT ~ and '43. AS the speaker
said in the beginning, it was a series of
dramatic episodes, brilliant with strange
coloring, permeated with romance" Very
few men in these days would ride 4,Up5
miles en- horseback in an unusually severe
winter to save q portion of country to the
Union. Yet that is what Marcus Whit
man did. The lecturer was greeted
with enthusiastic applause from the begin
ming TO the finish 1t a patriotic ad-
dress, enlivened by nearly one hundred
choice realistic views thrown on the large
screen. The audience was brGugh: face to
Fremont and Webster and other noted
men. The whole history Of the acquisition
of the Oregon country was gone into. The
audiel ce was taken into Napcleon's palace
at the time Of the Louisiana purchase. The
famous ride and the return trip with 1000
immigrants was realistically portrayed.
The story Of the massacre of the Whitman
Mission was told, the massacre occurring
but short time after the treaty was sign
ed with Great Britain whereby she lost the
Oregon country, which now comprises the
three great states of Oregon, Idaho and
Washington. The results of the ride We're
shown by a description of that wonderful
country as it now is, two dozen fine views
enhancing the interest of the audience. Ii
iS.an empire of 100000 square miles, with
untold wealth in her mountains and plains.
England's grasping policy was shown up
in way that brought great applause.
1.-THE time for compromise is past" said
The lecture may be repeated in our city at
q LATER date.

In order to test the validity of the ordi-
nance of the corporation of Washington
dated il ne 2, 1859, relating to the right OF
water Inspectors to enter dwellings, and
other premises. Attorneys Campbell and j
Mcdowell Darlington have filed a petition
in certiorari In the case of j. T. Clements
charged in the Police Court with refusing
to allow Water Inspector Marsh to enter
his house. The ordinance in question pro.
v:des a penalty of not less than s. mol
mere than $50 where any occupant OIL
owner shall refuse admission to the water
registrar, inspector and Taper of water
mains or other authorized agent of the cor
pcration into his premises, when in the
official discharge Of his duty.
Mr.. Clements, it is understood, refused
to allow the inspector to enter his
house, because it was not convenient al
the time for stranger to do so. and his
attorneys will claim that if the ordinance
Is not repealed 1t does not authorize the
entering of mans house at inconvenien,
or unreasonable hours. The case will prob
