THE FREE KINDERGARTEN.
Interesting Transactions Rt Monthly
Meeting OF supervisors.

The regular monthly meeting
of the Board of Supervisors OF the
Free kindergarten Association
was held at Queen Emma Hail
this morning. There was a large
attendance, presided over by Mrs.
W. f. Allen, in the absence #
Mrs. Hyde, president. Reading
of minutes, receiving of reports
and new business made a busy
session.
From the visiting committees
the reports on the various kinder
gaItens were for the most part en-
couraging. Very few acquisitions
for repairs were presepted. The
Portuguese school is full to over,
flowing, and an afternoon session
was suggested. This was found
impracticable, as Mrs. Tarbell
would not be able to do the extra
work, besides the funds being
wanting. The idea may be car
ried ont later.
Eva plantation kindergarten
was in a tourishing condition, al
though the attendance was not so
large as it is hoped to become.
Special mention was made of the
employment there of japanese
woman as jsnitor and nursery
maid, which was deemed an ex-
ample worthy of following in
other schools.
DR.. Howard had examined all
the children in the kindergsrtens,
Matchmaking those needing that
done.
Mrs. C.B. Cooper was put on the
publication committee in place of
Mrs. o. p. Emerson. Mrs.
Arthur b. Wood was assigned to
the Japanese committee in place
of the late Mrs. Henry Water
house. Miss Frances Kinney was
placed on the kindergarten Club
committee instead of Mrs. Dumas,
who has left the country.
Mrs. A. Macintosh, in charge
of the Foreign kindergarten com
mittee, having much to the Asso-
cations regret been obliged to re
sign, Mrs. III. w. Schmidt was
given the craftsmanship, while

still use coal oil lamps we ask
attention to a stock that can
not be excelled in Honolulu.
They come in all sizes, styles,

quet lamps; lamps for the bou-

students; bracket lamps; two,

metal night lamps that are very
convenient where there are
children around.
Piano lamps are still as
fashionable as ever. We have
them in new and attractive
styles, together with a large
assortment Of beautiful shades
in culors to suit.
If there is anything required
in the shape of a lamp for out
side use, on the verandah or
about the stable, we have them
in stock and at very low rates.
No trouble to show our lamps

stock.

This seems to be a clear and a So
Der statement of what war was in
Cuba, despite the verbose STYLE of the
writer and it would seem to be what
we should expect as a result of a war
Waged in Cuba by inhabitants of the
temperate zone, who easily succumb to
the insidious diseases of the tropics.
These are the results of an invasion of
the island from the north by unaccIi-
mated troops, under conditions which.
so far as are known, were normally
healthy. From these horrible statistics
we can estimate what would be the
losses that would result from an inva-
sion of the island in force-of the fertile
island which has been converted by
three years OF barbarous war into a
place of pestilence, where even the ac-
climated inhabitants are being wiped
out of existence by three distinct
plaques, plaques which are usually
passing epidemic, but which. owing to
the sanitary condition of the island
have become endemic in Cuba, | mean
the yellow fever, the smallpox and the
still more horrible hunger typhus.
While no one can foreten the future
or draw aside the veil with which a.
merciful providence keeps concealed
from us the things that are to come.
yet from the story of the Anglo-Ameri-
can expedition of 1853, and from a view
of the scattered and struggling bat
talions which are all that remain above
ground in Cuba today of that great
armada which Spain, in her pride. sent
to the devoted isle, we can make a very
fair estimate of the losses and the
fate of any troops which we might send
to the island when exposed to similar
dangers and the same diseases

ful. 1t can, however, be said with
certainty that they are sleeping in un-
marked graves in one of the lower
trenches CT this fortress.
So little Roadway was being made in
the siege that at one time it was
seriously considered to give it up and
withdraw. About this time, however,
very welcome reinforcenents reached
the besiesing army in the shape Of
3 zoe men from the loyal colonies, and
the siege WAS prosecuted with re-
newed viger. The colonial troops, or
American contingent. were apparently
under the command of General Ly-
man of Connecticut, and one-third of
the troops came from that state. In
the list Of the officers and men we
read the familiar names of the Lymans,
the Writings, the Parsons, the DyerS,
the Spencers, the Humans, the Colts,
the Pitches. the Durkees, the Woos-
tiers and the Wolcotts. Lieutenant
Colonel Putnam. who became known
in the revolution as "Old Put" was
colonel of the Connecticut regiment

preached the Cuban coast a terrible

bore Putnam, with 500 of his men, was
driven upon a rift Of craggy rocks and
wrecked.

force that she threatened To part her
timbers at every stroke of the sea, this
brave officer, looking calmly in the face
Of death, maintained, above the noise
OF the waves, a discipline that enabled
him TO issue all his orders without in
terruption, and secured an obedience
TO them as perfect as if the bold
hearted men whom he commanded had
stood upon the ridges Of their own corn
fields.

ARCHITECTURE.
The arena the architects have chosen
for display of the highest artistic
effect is pitched in the great rectangle
locally known as the Kountze tract
The main buildings are ranged along
either side of the basin. At the west
end stands the government building,
hanked by imposing colonnades, which
converge toward the west. The Arch
of States, the main entrance, is On the
south line at Twentieth street. This
arch, one Of the most noticeable in the
group Of structures, is decorated with
d frieze composed of the arms Of the
Trans Mississippi states, the whole be-
ing surmounted by sculpture figures
bearing the United States shield. The

wide avenue leads back 10 the music

will be placed seats on the terrace for
100, 900 listeners. To the north lies the
pleasure ground, where will be arrayed
a remarkable assembiage Of attrac-

live, stock and Irrigation exhibits, the
sugar beet fields. the great display of
agricultural implements, alfalfa fields,
the amphitheatre and athletic fields are
located. Trees will be made use of
very freely in the form of parks and
groves and for shading and ornament
ing unsightly places. A rose garden
will adorn the crest of the bluff.

cluster Of artistic accessories, is itself

to beautify the lake. In this Mirror"
will occur the water festivities, swim

can be observed from the colonnades
and from the steps of the United States

portions are reflected by the sheet of
water lying before it.

having its own share in the arehitec-

to be noticed is the success of the de-
signers in keeping free from the in
f1uence of other expositions. The plan
