DR.. Forbes Lecture.

A large audience assembled at the
Methodist Episcopal church II estlay
evening to hear Rev. Robert Forbes,
OF Duluth, deliver his popular lecture
.'Whut la He WOrth?' and the even
ing was certainly pleasant one tu
all who were there.
The theme Oi the remarks was the
MANY qualities oi man that were in
cludei in his worth" besides the
facts as to his property
pUsspssinDs. He In no sense criticised
the accumulation Of money or prop
erty. and was positive that the
profligate Was a worse citizen than
the n,isnr; still there were 80 many
attributes Of = man that were III
greater worth than worldly proper
ty. that character was entitled to
much the higher regard.
The subject was one, which 4en-
abled the lecturer 70 use as illustra-
tons the careers Of the greatest
men In history, and eloquently de-
the events that In past times
won the greatest public'apprOvai.
DR.. Forbes Is an eloquent, fOr,.eful
and humorous speaker, and his audi
ences give the most careful ttentiOn.
At all times he is Interesting. and his
lecture was an unusual treat to those
who were SO fortunate az to hear 1t.

There Is perhaps no town or county

sand and below that is a strata of gravel.
The ordinary dwelling house cellar does

sand ia used to make mortar tor the build

brick store buildings extend into the
lower strata of gravel and the gravel IL

SUMNER SCHOOL.
Something for the Public on the
Objects Thereof.

Objects Thereof.
It is probable that great many peo-
pie will attend the Summer School
this year. AS general thing, the pub
lie is not acquainted with the objects
of the school, and for that reason the
following points are published:
The Minister and Commissioners of
Public Instruction announce that the
Summer School will be in session at
Honolulu from the It'll 10 the 18th OF
July. 1897. The school will work in
two sections, the first making a spec
ialty of preparation for the eNamina-
ton for teachers primary certificates,
and the second making a speciality or
the theory and practice of teaching.
Some method work will be done in the
first section and some assistance VIII
be given in the second section to those
preparing for the examination for
teachers grammar grade certificates.
Those public School teachers not hold
ing second-class primary certificates
valid for the coming school year, or
equally good credentials OF scholarship
will work in the first section, unless
admitted to the second section by the
director. Those holding such creden
tials will be advised to work in the
second section, as general rule. The
two sections will meet together at the
High School building on Wednesday,
July It'll, at 9 O'Clock a. N.
A teaching force, consisting of a
number of the best teachers in the en-
ploy of the department has been Sc
cured TO give instruction in the va
rious branches. Prof. Elmer E. Brown,
Phi D. OF the University of California,
will give instruction in pedagogy to
both sections. Probably no man has
eSerted greater or better influence
upon the schools of California in re-
cent years than has DR.. Brown, and
the teachers of Hawaii are fortunate
in securing his assistance even for so
short time. The Inspector General OF
Schools will be the director of the
Summer School, and he will discuss at
length, with both sections, the new
course of study, which will be pub
lished at that time, and will be intro
duced into the schools at the begin
ming of the next school year, in Sep

The Minister and Commissioners in

public and private schools, of all per,
sons DESTROYS Of becoming teachers
and of all other persons interested il
any line of work TO be pursued in the
Summer School Tuition will be free

certificates will, be held at Honolulu

HOW 1T FIGURES UP.

e According to Gen. Blanco's report TO
his home government, the losses to the
Spanish army in Cuba amount to 103,-
600 men from the beginning of the war,
10000 of them being now sick in the
Spanish hospitals. Of the 1872, 900 reg
ular troops received by Gen. Weyler,
only $4,000 men fit for duty remain. :
This is the human life side of the
aco6ant. The financial and CONNER
cial side shows an equal amount of de-
struction. The war has bankrupt the
Spanish government, all it's possess
sions are mortgaged to the utmost and
Spain cannot now borrow cent any,
where. Uncle Sans loss has been
very great, also. The first year of the
Cuban war cost our American COM
merce upward of $60,000000 During
the past year trade with Cuba has gone
down to less than S20,000000, as COM
pared with $1O2, 1854 ,204 in 1898, the
year preceding the breaking out Of
the war
In view of these figures and the de-
struction of our commerce through the
futile and cruel war, it is the height Of
absurdity to say that this country has
no business to NEEDLE" with the sit
uation. Aside from all questions OF
humanity, we have very valid business
reasons for interfering. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that, according to all. accounts,
President Mckinley will not take this
view of the matter in mis- message. 1t
is not likely, however, that Congress
will coincide with the President, for
the members will be fresh from the
people.

A NEW rEMpEnANUE sCHEME.

It is announced from Chicago that
Miss Francis Willard has begun new
plan for the subjugation of the drink
devil and has resolved to sacrifice her
home and all her personal property for
the purpose of buying large business
block from MI. Marshall Field, one Of
Chicago's great real estate owners.
| 1t is true that to the uninitiated it is
not quite clear how the purchase of this
building is going to discourage the con-
sumption of strong drink, and a hasty
person glancing at the matter in cur
sorry way, might doubt that the evils
of intemperance would be materially
abated even if funds were raised to buy
several business blocks from Mr.. Field
But the Chicago News thinks that
"since Miss Willard has spent many
years in study of intemperance and
the way to stop it, and has not only
| become convinced that this real estate
transaction is the proper method but
is so earnest in her conviction that she
is ready to sacrifice her home, the lay
man can Go no less than to humbly pre-
sumo that she is right. 1t must be
conceded, now that the true method of
combating intemperance has been dis
covered, that it is surprisingly simple
Mr. Fields holdings Of real estate for
tunately are very large. Since so much
good in temperance way will come
from buying his LaSalle street build
ing, it follows that a fairly incalculable
good in the same direction will be ac-
complished by purchasing his buildings
on State street and Wabash avenue;
and we have nc doubt that Miss Will
lards energy is equal to the under
taking"
There is one very important point,
however, on. which the information
should be more explicit-namely, does
Mr.. Fields total real estate holdings
equal the total extent of the drink evil,
so that when all his buildings are
bought there will be no more intemper-
ance? Or does a like virtue reside in
the other great real estate owners in
Chicago? If the purchase of one thir-
teen-story building accomplishes the
salvation of say 1000 drink wrecked
homes, how many buildings will have
to be bought to redeem all the homes?
If tbe idea is to make this plan pop
ular il will readily be seen that further
particulars are necessary.
