ToNsoRrAL ARTISTS ~ NAVY.

On the big ships carrying crews ~
500 or GOO men there are always sew
eral BARRIERS To care for the hair and
boards OF the men. In the old days
there was n rate of ships barber, the
holder of which drew $50 a month
from the government i'm addition to
the money he collected from the men
for his work. That rate was abolished
several years ago, however, for il is
easy to perceive that the money the
ships barber drew from the govern
ment was purely unnecessary velvet.
Nearly all of the men of war BARRIERS
of the present day are landsmen or
ordinary seamen, They are not Civ

for the reason that their barberlng
work consumes so much of their
time that they could not possibly
serve as petty officers. On the small
Ter cruisers, carrying crews of some
thing like $50 men, only one man Is
detailed for barbering work, and al
though by charging 81 month per
head he makes a big pay day at the
end of his three year cruise. he does
not often have the job of serving
more than quarter of the ships
company.

PROGRESS OF WHARNES.
There is Vigorous Management But
Many Obstacles.

\ visit to the site of the future
ships wharf shows Mr.. Campbell hard
at work and pushing things vigorous
ly, says the Hilo Herald. Progress,
however, is necessarily slow. The
bottom, hard as flint. extending out
thirty or forty feet, has to be drilled
and blasted for piers, and the slight
effect of half dozen sticks of giant
powder on this rock is almost incred-
ible. Moreover only No. 2 powder can
at present be obtained in Hilo, which
is quite inadequate for the work. Mr.
Campbell says that if he could only
get over this rock bottom he could
rush things. AS matters at present
stand, however, it seems likely that
the work will only be fairly under
way by the end of December.
At the boat wharf there has been
pilikia also. and the heavy seas of the
last week turned upside down all the
previous work. Mr.. Terry has had fine
weather this week, however, and more
than recovered lost ground. If fair
weather holds the boat wharf will he

THE PHILIPPINES.

The Hongkong Telegraph's Manila
correspondent says: "Things are in a
bad state here Philippines). Primo
de Riveriera Captain GeneraD is now
playing his last card, arming the ma
tives, giving them short course Of
drill, promising them better pay than
the regulars get Tor rather don't get
they wish they did. Then, on a pre-
tence of sending them to another
place to go through more drill, they
are put to the front. This, and the
chances being that they will not get
the pay promised when due, will be
apt to make them chuck it up and
join the rebels armed, and by the
Spaniards too. The Army treasury is
said to be very nearly empty, and
when they ask for tenders for the
supply of provisions for the troops
the willy contractor figuratively puts
his thumb upon his nose and spreads
his fingers out" He has been there
before, or knows a man who has.
They say one has been stuck to the
tune of about 500, O0O-and feels as if
he will have to write it off"

JUNKETING EXPENSES.

The expenses of Premier Seldom of
New Zealand on his trip to England,
on the occasion of the Jubilee cele-
bration amounted to E1750. The OPP
position, before voting this large sum
out of the public eXchecquer, desired
to know, as they had a right to know
how it was made up.
Mr.. Seldom at first point blank re-
fused to give an iota of information
on the subject. Rather than do so,
he declared, he would pay the sum
out of his own pocket. When the
information was given the vote was
passed without further opposition
The principal items of the premier's
expenditures were stated to be as fol-
lows: Railway fares, steamer, trans
port of luggage for Mr. and Mrs
Seldom, and secretary, ESQ; expenses
of travelling in America, Great Britain
and elsewhere, including gratuities,
$50; miscellaneous expenses Incl
dental to the trip, entertainments,
etc, e $50.

proval of Citizens.

The Young Mems Research club
will champion the cause of public
parks and Fairgrounds for Honolulu.
1t is proposed that during the coming
fortnight committee shall be cho-
sen to decide upon some definite plan
of action. The matter, with the re-
port of the committee, will come up
before the club at its meeting in Jan
uary. at the home of Rev. Douglas
Putnam Birne.
The Palama district is probably
the most densely populated in the
city. There are no parks or play
grounds. The Research club will di-
rect its efforts in the beginning to
this portion of Honolulu.
There is every reason TO believe
that the club will be successful i'm its
undertaking for there seems to he
unanimity among the citizens on the
subject of recreation grounds for the
children.
Another public improvement that Is
being strongly urged by the people is
the condemnation of land at Waikiki
for an extension of Kapiolani park.
This would give the working men If
the down town districts access to the
ocean. One philanthropic citizen has
already agreed to establish a bathing
house and supply it with bathing
suits. which can be obtained for five
or ten cents each, or just enough ia
pay the expenses of the help.

HOW To FIND OUT.

FIJI a bottle or comm IN glass with urine

WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so

every wish in relieving pain in the back,

loo Much Of the Same Thlna.

The slender attendance that gave
an unhappy distinction to the two
held in town last
week-Mr. Ambrose's lecture and
Miss Mowry's concert--lead to the
question: why do our people cut
the public entertainments" And
the answer comes, readily enough, in
the recent remark of one of our
prominent professional men-one who
has had ample opportunity TO make
observation: THE town is fairly
surfeited with entertainment"
This is the gist of the whole matter.
Since last October the JOURNAL has
reported some 45 different entertain
mentS, exclusive OF dances and invited
functions, all entitled TO a certain
consideration by reason of their local
auspices, or their press notices and
letters Of introduction. One enter
tainment week may not suggest
either dissipation or a surfeit of
dramatic or musical enjoyment. But
when it is remembered that in a
town Of this size there is but certain
company of people that patronizes the
unusual evening concert or lecture,
and that this company is always
necessary to the success Of that
particular performance, the case looks
quite different. A thing of conspicu-
GUS merit usually brings in the
country people and draws such of the
students and townspeople as are not
accustomed to patronize the passing
show. But ordinarily the faces seen
at comedy, a lecture or a concert
are the same ones that the lights
shone on last week and the week
beforehand by and by these amiable
people get tired.

Miss Mowry and her pianist, Miss
Nelson, were greeted by only a small
company of people, thinly distributed
through the middle pews, when they
presented their program of - num-
bers at the Congregational church
Friday evening. To estimate an
entertainment given under such
chilly circumstances, as if the con-
ditions were normal, would be distinct
liz unfair. On this account the
criticism that Miss Mowry failed
almost absolutely in the power of
appeal. in personal magnetism, may
be out Of place. 1t is safe to say
though. that the imitation of a we'll
known prima donna. however exact,
and however much this imitation
may go into detail, is not necessarily
a meritorious performance. Miss
MOwry's voice is sweet, and her
appreciation Of technique is much
above the ordinary; but if her solos OF
Friday night are a safe criterion, she
lacks in richness, as well as in warmth
and grace. Her assistant, Miss
Nelson. played carefully and con-
scienciously. The duets were probably
enjoyed most.
