Song Recital at BluehiIl.

thursday evening rare entertainment
was given in the town hall for the benefit
OF the ladies' social library, and there was
good house considering the incemency
Of the weat her during the day.
Recalling all the surroundings AID en-
chantments of the evening, it is simply
impossible TO give on paper description
OF the song recital, which could ade-
quatey do justice to its merits and to
those who wildly portrayed the life and
songs of the gifted Scottish poet. n one
thought of stage or stage effect; the au
dience saw before them what seemed to
be psrlor, embowered with ferns and
flowers, few chairs placed here and
there, table on which stood bouquet of
yellow flowers, piano at just the right
angle, with pictures on easels placed upon
it, and three fair ladies', with such ease
and grace in their movements and man
ner that there was an ''at homeo appear
ance which made the scene reality.
A medley OF Scotch airs was played
upon the piano by Miss Weston with
much taste and expression, following
which, in pleasant voice and converse
tional tone, Miss Brown began the sketch
of Burns life. After giving the history
of his earlier years she introduced some
influence or incident which caused him
to write some particular song. Mrs.
Peters in her clear, sweet voice took up
ehS oAA - thS oohS h'S'eiohSN anu oohS ~
with charming effect, Miss Weston &C
companying her on the piano.
Thus the evening in truth was spent
among the "banks and braes of Bonny
Doom, so plainly was the entire subject
illustrated. The first song given was
so Red, Red Rose", and during the re-
cital these songs were interpreted:
screen Grow the Rushes o." "Bonny
Doom" "My Hearts in the Highlands"
so My JEAN" "Sweet Alton" John
Anderson My Jo," "Whistle and I'll
Come to You," "Scots VIVA Haze" and
80 Vert Thou in the Cauld Blast"
The entertainment was original, in
structive and in every way pleasing.
Mrs. Peters is very popular in BluehiIl,
not only on account of her fine, we'll
trained voice, but because Of her kindli
ness Of heart, her ready sympat by and her
cheerful compliance when, to aid any
good cause she is asked to render service
in song.
Her friend. Miss Brown, who is pres
ident OF the Tourists club, in Roxbury,
Mass, and her cousin, Miss Weston, who
are in town for the first time have already
won the gratitude and appreciation OF
the people, and the members OF the
Ladies' social library association desire
to express their thanks to these three
ladies for he fine literary treat, as well
as for the financial addition it brought to
the library treasury.
The ladies also wished the reporter to
especially thank the editor of The AMER
ICAN for favors received.

tce OF the public most favora bly,, and
many men Of distinction have devoted
years of their best energies to expert
ments with kites similar to those which
will be on exhibition. Most boys will be
surprised to know that the scientific
kite lies without a tail and that the tail
less kite will rise in all winds and even in
dead calm. Much can be learned from
this exhibition.

Early Honolulu.

In his paper to be read before the
Historical Society at the Y. NJ. G. A.
this evening, Thos. G. Thrum will take
up the subject of "Old Honolulu" at
the very point it was left by the late
Warren Goodale, who at the time of
his demise was preparing an exhaus-
tive treatise on personal recollections,
with an addition from documents. Mr..
Thrum has long been familiar with
many portions of the subject and will
doubtless add much to the literature
of the history of early Honolulu. Paul
Neumann's paper, will no doubt, be
something quite worthy that gentle
man. He has chosen for his topic an
incident about which clings intense
romance and interest.

BROWN & ASHLEY.
Well Known Men Make a Tour
of This Island.

Andrew Brown and George Ashley
have just made a trip around the ISL
and. The report that they alternated
at the handles of a wheelbarrow is not
correct. Ashley says they walked most
of the way except when riding. For a
carriage they had a brake with a tan
dem team. Following the main coach
was commissary wagon drawn by
four horses and with a military guard
of eight men in command of a SER
geant
Fne first stop was at Kaneohe, where
the pilgrims gave an entertainment
consisting Of songs. dances and recita-
lions.
The Kaneohe Opera House was
crowded to the doors. Mayor Henry
gave box party and the elite of the
neighborhood occupied seats in the
dress circle The electric lights went
out when Ashley, arrayed in boomers,
was giving an exhibition on his new
chainless safety Brown gave a skip
ping rope dance in kits and was
showered with compliments. For an
encore he gave an imitation of Ashley
carving turkey on Burns birthday
and jim Olds, becoming alarmed, tele-
phoHed for a doctor, the fire brigade
and police force. AS the final number
Of : program such as Kaneohe never
saw before, Brown and Ashley told
their troubles to the empty benches.
The fame Of this travelling aggrega-
ton of troupers having preceded the
band wagon they were met at Kahuku
by the committee of safety and after
considerable parley and some trade
moved on to Waialua. Here another
entertainment was given under the
management of Archie Mahaulu and
proper police protection. Ashley did
his fancy roller skating act and Brown
recited Little Drops Of Water" and
other modern selections in ancient
languages. The gate receipts consisted
Of two mats and four calabashes.
Messrs. Brown and Ashley arrived
back in Honolulu early Monday morn
ing. Their next appearance on the
board will be at large hall in one of
the small suburbs of the city. Jos. Lit
tie and John Phillips, who were forgot
ten in gathering the baggage for the
Oahu circuit, will be with the company
for the next show.

POLICE COURT.
Decision In the "Swipes" Case
Is Reserved.

Most of the time in the Police Court
was taken up with the case of Akana
for the selling of spirituous liquor
without a license. The trial extended
into the afternoon. The Court room
was filled during the trial with natives
who went to see the fun. The trial
finished, Judge Wilcox reserved his de-
cision until Saturday morning.
There is still a. number of swipes
cases on the calendar, so many
in fact, that Detective KAPPA has stop
ped making arrests for a little while.
He says that the arrests he has already
made constitute about one-eighth OF
the swipes dealers in Honolulu.
The case of Fred Naylor for assault
and battery was nolle pross'd.

UNIFORM CHANGE
The Beginning Is With the
United States Cavalry.
First a Hussar Helmet-Next Hes.
try Effect On Militia.

Great changes are to be made in the
| dress uniform of the United States
army and distinctive uniforms are to
| be provided for the several branches of
the service, says the New York Sun
The cavalry will receive attention
| first, because its present dress uni
form is unsuitable for the work, and
because it is, as in other countries, the
SHOW corps of the army. It's officers
are men who stood high in their class
at West Point. The men are the dan
dies Of the service, a superior class of
ance and spend part of their pay in
having their dress uniforms refitted,
and sometimes, it is said, replaced with
uniforms of better cut and material
than those supplied by the Government
contractor. On parade and for cere
monies the cavalry now wears a heavy
and ugly helmet, about as unsuitable
for rider as the bearskin hat of a
drum major The trousers worn are
not riding trousers, and the yellow
facings scarcely serve to relieve the
plainness of the dark blue coat.
The change to a hussar uniform,
with it black fur busby, tight tunic,
braided across the breast, riding trous-
ers and Hessian boots, will put our fine
cavalry on a par with the English,
French, German and Austrian cavalry.
1t is almost inevitable that the uni
forms of the infantry and artillery will
also be made more attractive to bring
| them up to the smartness of the caval-
ry AS stated, changes in their head
gear are probable. The suggestion
that for the artillery there should be
adopted a busby similar to those worn
by our cavalry in the Revolution is
warmly approved by many officers.
This busby, an inverted bowl Of felt Or
metal, fits the head snugly and will
not fall off during rapid riding or driv-
ing. Surmounted with an adaptation of
the Indian crest or headdress it would
be distinctly American. The busby is
not worn anywhere in the world at
present, which gives it great merit in
the eyes of those who do not like to
see American soldiers dress like for
eigners.
One curious effect of the change Of
| uniform in the army will be that it will
cause change in the dress uniform Of
| 1O0,O 900 guardsmen sooner or later. The
| officers of every State in the Union
and majority of the men wear uni
forms strongly resembling the uni
| forms of the army, and as State laws
| in most of the States and usuage III
them all require that the State troops
conform to the dress, drill and discip-
line of the army, changes from their
present uniforms are inevitable.

EDITORIAL AND
COMMENT.
ONE PEOPLE-0NE FLAG!

The Atlanta Constitution has
been for years and is now the
acknowledged leader Of the Dem
ocracy of the Southern states. Be-
low we give its editorial upon
President Mckinley and his Geor-
gia speech, and it is the prettiest
eulogy its recipient ever received.
THE LEADER is republican and
proud of President Mckinley, but
this article is not re-published on
that account, but because we wish
all our readers to have the pleasure
of reading what the strongest,
boldest and most fearless Southern
Democratic organ says Of the broad,
highmindedness Of our Presi lent,
and from this article note what he
has done to forever unite the two
sections in a fraternity, WI lose
warm bro,herly feeling will never
again admit of North or South.
No one can doubt its sincerity; II
is patent upon its face. We are
once more one people, under one
flag. What a thrill reverberates
through the hearts of this great
land at the thought! Here is a
sincere literary gem:
lone of the most remarkable de-
clarations ever made by the cliiei
executive of any nation was that
which fell from the lips of President
Mckinley before the Georgia legis'
lature last Wednesday, when, IN
view of the fraternity and the har'
mony existing between the living
who stood face 10 face thiriy-hve
years ago, he called for an extension
of that same spirit and consideration
for The dead-confederates, as wei
as federals. n y
"It is needless to say that, as the
president spoke with measured ac
cent and impulsive mien, his words
went straight to the hearts OF hi
hearers, as proven by the tremen

1t does not lie in the painters fancy to
imagine prettier picture than that of
young girl, with lips luscious with the
promise of love, half parted in the smiles
of happy dreamland. The mind of happy
maidenhood is clear and polished mirror,
which, when the wits go wandering into the
ghostland of dreams, reflects the impress
sions of waking hours. If those impress
sions are pleasant and painless and happy,
she will smile in her sleep. If the impress
sions are those of a suffering woman, tor
tured with the special ailments to which
the feminine organism is liable, the picture
is spoiled by the lines of suffering and de-
spondency. Maladies of this nature unfit
woman for joyous maidenhood and for ca
pable motherhood. They iucapacitate her
to bear the burdens of life i'll any sphere
of action. Household, marital and social
duties alike are burden to the woman who
is constantly suffering from headaches,
backaches, dragging sensations and weak
ening drains. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription positively, completely unfail-
ingly cures troubles of this nature. 1t
imparts health, strength, vigor to the dis
tinctly womanly organs. 1t fits for care
free, healthy maidenhood, happy wifehood
and capable motherhood
