From Mr.. PERI inS.

MIR. EDITOR:-Willy you kindly cor
rect the statement made in the Adver-
tiser of today which reports that
have discovered 90 small and six large
birds new to science. These numbers
represent pretty correctly the total
number of species peculiar to the ISL
ands although some are now eXtincO,
collected by all the natuTalists who
have visited the Islands since the time
of Captain Cook, until the present day.
As a matter of fact, the new species
of birds, added of late years, had al
ready been mostly collected by the col
lectors for the late Hon. Walter Roths-
child before 1 had ever visited the ISL
ands other than Oahu. Nothing has
been added to the list since 1898. As
the statement in your paper might be
read by some biologists elsewhere, or
copied into other papers, and being at
tributed TO me, would give me a repu-
tation for eXaggerating, for which
have no desire. l should be obliged TO
you. if you will insert this correction
at your earliest convenience. Yours
truly. r. G. L. PERKINS.

In a little while the house toppled
over, and the other child was eXtricat-
ed from the flames in very badly
burned condition.

but about 8 o'clock. death ensued.

Pleasant Time Given to Men and
BOYS Who Sing at the Church.
Through the thoughtfulness of Mr..
Wray Taylor, the organist OF St. An
drew's Cathedral, the supplied choir
of men and boys of that church and the
pupils of St. Andrews priory; also. he
young Hawaiian men who sing The
Sunday evening service of the second
congregation, had a most enjoyable en-
tertainment provided for their amuse-
ment last evening in the Sunday School
room. 1t took the form of magic Ian
tern exhibition, with music inter
spersed. followed by substantial te-
fTeshments.
Mr.. W. II. Baird showed the views
with an excellent lantern. He has a
very fine collection of views from al
parts of the world, and they were
briefly explained by the Rev. V. H. Kit
cat Several views of Japan were eX-
planned by Rev. II. B. GottwaltZ, who
has just visited that country. At in
tervals the lights were turned on and
music was introduced.
Miss Kulumanu Ward sang beauti-
fully the song: "Orpheus and His
Lutte" receiving an enthusiastic en-
core, to which she responded.
Miss Nicholson gave recitation,
with excellent skill. during which a
soft accompaniment was played on the
piano.
George S. Smithies was in good voice
and sang Il Love Thee" admirably. He
had to sing again.
The Misses Kalei and Annie Holt
played a piano duet with much skill.
A carol was also rendered during the
evening.
Ice cream and cake were passed
around at the close. and after cheers
for those who took part in the affair,
Hawaii Ponoi brought a successful en-
tertainment to a close.
A very fine-toned KrOeger piano,
loaned by J. w. Bergstrom, was used
during the evening.

OFFICE IMPROVEMENTS.
Balls at Work on Fine Counters
for Mr.. Damon'S Office.

at w - oil =
for Mr.. Damon's Office.
Mr.. Balls is building an elaborate
set of counters for the Finance Depart
ment. 1t will be of cedar and koa, and
handsomely ornamented. The shape of
the counter will be that of two squares,
with the front of the room for one
side.
In a few days the pay window at the
office will be replaced by door. In
side. in the square formed by the first
section of the counter arrangement, the
public will be permitted to stand for
the transaction of business. In the
second section, Mr.. Damon will have
his private office. 1t will open on
the hall doorway, and will command
the two windows opposite.
The counters will be the finest in the
Hawaiian Islands. Besides having koa
tops, they will be trimmed with the
same material. Above, all around, it is
purposed to have handsomely orna-
mented guard rails with windows, each
of the latter lettered to designate its
particular province. Mr.. Balls is
spreading himself on his contract, and
the result will, doubtless, be a great
credit to him.

A POTENT ARGUMENT.

The Youths Companion, which is a strictly non-partisan magazine. has the following to say in an editorial, of last weeks issue, upon Returning Prosperity"
 There are at least three hundred thousand more industrial employees at work than in October 1896, which means the distribution of more than two million dollars in wages each week in excess of the amount paid out year ago. When commercial, in dustrlal, transportation and agricul- tural interests are considered, there is abundant evidence that fully one million more wage earners are em- ployed than just before the last presi- dent1al election, and this points to the distribution of more than one mil lion dollars in wages daily in excess of the total so paid year ago. Wages of industrial operatives have been ad- vanced generally from ten to fifteen per cent and with the increase in prices of staples the captains of in- dustry find themselves even better able to pay an advance to more men than they were to employ a small number at lower wages year ago. Bountiful crops, higher wages, high CT prices and active demand from all classes of the community constitute evidences of growing prosperity, and these we have with us"
 JAS the Youths Companion knows what the situation is, it's statement is powerful testimony to the bene- icent influences which the present republican administration is exertine upon the country. Considering the number of men who were idle last year and now have work, ole need | not go with MT. Bryan to India in or der to discover the reason for tho rise l in the price of wheat.
