THREE LADIES INTERESTED IN \
GREAT WORK.
Proposal to Inaugurate in Honolulu :
System Which has Worked Great
Good on the Mainland.

The scheme of University Extension
which has been so successfully appli-
ed in Great Britain and the United
States is proposed to be inaugurated
in Hawaii.
Foremost in the work is Mrs. Meade
(nee Helen Castle), wife of Professor
Meade of Chicago; Mrs. f. NJ. Day
and Mrs. Ethel Wing Castle. They
have devoted much time to correspon-
dence to and fro and at the present
time Mrs. Day, who is visiting in the
states, is actually engaged in consul
tation with many of the foremost of
educators upon the subject.
Under the scheme for University
Extension lecturer of note is sent
to the city requiring him and gives a
series of lectures upon the subject in
which he is specialist At the end
of the course he is succeeded by an
other and so on. The students enter
upon paying a certain fee. \ student
may take up only one subject purely
for the purpose of improving the mind
in that particular direction, or the
whole course may be taken and an en-
animation undergone in each subject
For this diploma is issued showing
that the holder has passed successful
ly.
The system has been found to do
an immense amount of good among
| those who have not had the advantage
of University education and who are
yet anxious to keep abreast of the, best
| thought of the times. While to many

be sufficient to cover the expense OF
bringing the lecturers down. But thi,

THE WORK ON RIVER PARK
DREDGING AND FILLING BEGINS
TOMORROW.
Pipe Line to Carry the Material from
the Dredger to the Park Being Fit
ted Today.

Work on River park will begin to-
morrow.
Today the government dredger was
hauled around into the basin near
the mouth of Nuuanu stream. The
work of joining the various parts of
the pipe line that is to carry the fill
ing material from the harbor front TO
the park is going on rapidly today. 1t
may be completed in time to actually
begin Operations Today.
The dredger will dig up material
from the bottom of the harbor Eva of
the Oceanic wharf and force it out
through the pipe nearly quarter of
a mile to the park. The part of the
pipe line from the shore TO the dredg-
er is supported on scows or floats, the
lengths of pipe being joined by fleX-
ible joints to accommodate it to the
motion of the water on which it
rests, and to allow the dredger to be
moved from one point to another as
the work proceeds.
The dredging to be done in this To-
cality includes all that part of the
harbor included approximately Eva
of line drawn from the outer end
of the railroad wharf mauka. 1t is
here that the soil and deposits brought
down by Nuuanu stream settle before
they have a chance to be caught by the
tide and carried out to sea. In some
places they have Swallowed the harbor
so that vessels of deep draught have
difficulty in coming to the wharves
over it at low stages of tide. There
has been considerable filing up near
the railroad wharf. This will all be
taken out.
At the park end a settling basin has
been formed by throwing up sort OF
dixie into which the material from the
| pipe line will run. The water will rur
off into Nuuanu stream.
The fulfllment of Minister Kings
prophecy of leafy trees and singing
birds in River park is beginning.

IMPROVEMENTS FOR PARK
TRUSTEES INTEND TO BRING IT
UP-TO-DATE. .
Stagnant Water to be Flushed-Pleas-
ure Boats to be Placed Upon the
Lake-Refreshme Stand.

The Kapiolani Park trustees are
meditating considerable improvements
and intend in the near future to add
new features to the park.
The Government artesian well wa
ter in the park is unfit for drinking
purposes and the commissioners have
obtained the privilege of using the
water for the purpose of flushing the
stagnant water out of their artificial
lake. They are only waiting now for
piping to carry out their plans. 1t
will require about 1000 feet of piping
and as soon as the new government
pipes arrive the commissioners hope
to obtain sufficient of the old ones for
their purpose at reasonable rates.
AS soon as the lake is flushed, it is
proposed to put boats on it, similar
to those on places of like character on
the mainland. and doubtless ornamen-
tai waterfowl will soon be an added
attraction.
1t is also proposed to let a soda wa
ter and refreshment stand in the
eighborhood of Makee Island. At
present no refreshments can be OBJ
tained in the park, but should a stand
of this kind be started there is little
doubt but that it would prove remun-
erative to the owner and add to the
attractions of the park. Other i'm
proyements are in the minds of the
trustees, but they look wise and won't
tell.

ARE FOR greater HARBOR
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TAKES
ACTION.
Must Have More Wharf Room-Com-
mittee Appointed to Confer With the
Government.

a meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce was held at 10 o'clock this
morning to consider the matter of in
creased wharf facilities for the port
of Honolulu. This subject has been
agitated by the merchants for some
time, and some action by the Cham
Der was deemed advisable.
Present at the meeting were: Pres
ident j. b. Atherton, Secretary Jas.
G. Spencer, b. f. Dillingham;, j. f..
Hackfeld, j. \. Hopper, w. NJ. Gif-
fard, w. w. Hall, f. w. McChesney, F.

the next regular meeting.
President Atherton read a letter
from the Philadelphia Commercial Mu-
scum asking that the chamber join it.
The Museum requests that delegates
be appointed to cooperate with it in
its work. The matter was referred
to President Atherton with power to
act.
The matter of wharf facilities was
the next subject brought up. Re
marks were made by j. f. Hackfeld
W. NJ. Giffard, f. \. Schaefer and j. l.
Mclean. All agreed that the present
facilities are wholly inadequate to
the requirements of the port, and that
something should be done at once fol
greater harbor. The matter was
considered pressing and the speakers
| thought the Hawaiian government
should go ahead with it independent
of what the United States might in.
tend to do.
At the request of F. \. Schaefer, 3
F. Dillingham; gave his views upon the
matter, and detailed his own plans
for extending the harbor and wharf
room on the west side of the bay.

UNIVERSITY EXTENS|ONPROHIB|T|ON FOR HAWAII
AMERICAN TEMPERANCE PEOPLE
URGING IT.
Have BIZ for Congress-Y. NJ. C. A.
Takes Up the Matter-May be Some
Notifications.

There may be a bitter fight in Con-
gress over the liquor question in the
new territory of Hawaii.
Congress is charged with the franz
ing OF laws Tor the government of ter
ritories. This authority is sweeping,
extending from laws relating to pub
lie lands down to dog taxes. There is
no question as to the right of Congress
to deal with the liquor question here.
So much for that. News has come
that temperance organizations in
America have united in the interest
of prohibition i'm the Hawaiian Islands.
\ bill to that effect has already been
prepared. Before presenting it in
Congress. however, the promoters
have consented to consult with the
leading thinkers here. \ letter re-
ceived at Honolulu explains what has
been done and inquiries how the pro-
hibition measure will be taken here.
The first organization to consider
the matter has been the Y. NJ. C.. A.
At meeting of the temperance conf
mittee held yesterday afternoon it was
earnestly, deeply discussed. Opinions
varied. There was a strong prohibi-
tion sentiment, but the general iudg-
ment was against it. Restrictive meas
ures were favored. Several plans were
discussed. Three or four resolutions.
embodying the different schemes were
offered. One was by Rev. G. l.. Pear
son, of the Methodist church. The
dispensary system of South Carolina
was one recommendation. Some of
the committee objected to the gov
ernment handling the business, but
favored limiting the sale of liquors to
bottled goods.
No conclusion was nor could be
reached. 1t was decided to call a
general meeting for 1880 tomorrow ev-
ening to get a wider expression. 9th
er committees and members of the
association will be present. The res
olutions and schemes of the commit
tee Will be presented for discussion. Tt
| is expected that the meeting will
| reach conclusive expression of the
position of the Y. VI. c. \. in the
| matter.
1t is almost safe to say that prohi-
| bition will not be endorsed. The pro-
posal will doubtless he a modification
of the dispensary system. 1t is under
stood that other religious organiza-
tions will Immediately take up the
matter, and that there will be strong
secular expression.

JUDGMENT AGAINST ooKALA.

Judge Perry today rendered judg-
kala Sugar Company VS.. John Wilson,
assumpsit. This action refers to a
certain tract of land in Hamakua leas-
ed by plaintiffs from defendant. in
March, 1888, for period of twelve
years. After the lease had been eX-
tant eight years petitioners discover
ed that there were fifty acres of land
less than the lease called for, the
mistake being due to an imperfect
survey.
