BOY AND MATCHES.
Cause of a Fire On Premises OF
Queen DOwager.

Shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday
morning the fire whistle blew, calling
the department to an old frame build
ing in Honuakaha, just back of the
Queen Dowager. The fire laddies ar
rived too late to do any good although
they did make good speed to the place.
The fire had been under way for quite
a little time before it was discovered.
George Macy, formerly Of the tele-
phone Exchange, turned in the alarm.
The fireman worked for fully half
an hour before they had the flames
under control. The house being an old
one, the flames, which started on the
upper. were hard to subdue. Doors
and windows being shut, everything
| inside was ablaze. When it was all
over, the whole story came out.
The upper floor was occupied by
George Shaw of the Board Of Educa
ton, his wife and two children, one
of the last being an adopted Portu-
guese child of four summers. Shaw
had gone off to his duties early in the
morning. His wife and the children
were out in the yard at the time the
fire started and the native, his wife
and grandson living on the ground
floor, were also away from the house.
1t seems that George, the adopted
Portuguese boy, had gone upstairs
without the knowledge of Mrs. Shaw
and had succeeded in lighting some
matches. These burned with good
effect and the supposition is that the
bed curtain must have taken fire first
thus spreading the flames.
The house was owned by the Queen
Dowager and was taken from the
Palace at the time there was a gen
eral clearing off the grounds of al
old houses Shaw had been in the
place for over four years.
Clustered about the burned house
are three or four more frame build
. ings and il must certainly be consid
cred a piece of good fortune to tn
people occupying these that there wa
not even a slight breeze stirring for
in such an event, some of these mus
surely have suffered AS it was, al
the furnishings and clothing in tn
nearest house, occupied by Lilikalani
were removed in a great hurry, s
sure were the people living in it tina
the flames would reach their place.
Shaw estimates that he lost abou
5000 in all. Not a thing was save
in the upper story and added to tn
goods of the Shaw family, was

Complete Success of a Benefit
Concert.

A concert TO raise money for the
chapel at Kamoiliili, was held in the
Sunday school rooms OF Kawaiahao
church last night before an audience of
a hundred or more, including quite
number of prominent people. The pro-
gram given was as follows:
Song by people of the Makiki branch
church Of Kawaiahao.
Music by a number of KawaiahaO
Seminary girls with accompaniment by
Miss Hannah.
Music by the Kamehameha Alumni
glee club.
Short speech by Mr.. 7. H. Davies.

Music by Kamehameha Alumni glee
club.
Short speech by Jas. Hakuole.
Song by Miss Nolte.
Music by a number of Kawaiahao
Seminary girls.
Music by glee club from the North
Pacific Institute.
The announcements were made by
David All who had charge of the even
ing's entertainment.
The Kawaiahao Seminary girls sang
very we'll as they always do. The
blending of their voices was very
pleasant to listen to. The alumni glet
club of Kamehameha also proved
pleasant feature of the evening,
Miss Nolte gave a soprano solo 81
well that she was called upon to re
spond to an encore. She played her Owl
accompaniment. Paul r. Isenberg, Ho
nolulu's famous tenor singer, favored
the audience with delightful solo an
then responded to a hearty encore
His accompaniment was played b
Miss Nolte.
Mr.. Davies, in addressing his audi
ence, said that he had not accepted a
invitation to be present with an idea c
speaking, but since he had been urge
by Rev. Parker, he felt that he mus
say something Mr.. Davies took as b
text: Like as a father pitieth h
5 children even so the Lord pitieth the1
that fear" He told the story of on
of his children-how the little fello
had run up to him one day and, pla'
: ing his little hand in his, fell to wall
ing contentedly by his side. Upo
asking the child why it was he d
this, the little one replied: "Becau:
I love you So" This had always con
back to him whenever he thought

children" The speaker then address
the young people particularly and to
them that it would not do to pla
their hand in that of the Saviour al
then withdraw it. To live the Chri
tian life was to follow continually.

Prompt Payment OF a Big Sum

Dec. 4th. Rouse Hazard & Co. mail
ed their attorney Chicago draft
for s17,S1O.96, payable to the Western
Wheel Works, that being the amount
which had been in litigation between
the two Companies for several years.
The ability of Rouse Hazard & Co. to
forward this large sum just at this
season of the year, when the pay rolls
and other expenses of Bicycle Manu-
facturers are very large, and receipts
very small, is certainly most con-
vincing evidence of the solvency of
one of the oldest bicycle concerns in
the United States. OF the manufacture
ers and jobbers of bicycles who were
in business when Rouse Hazard & Co.
entered that line, more than is years
ago. the number that still exist can
be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Rouse Hazard & Co.report that their
present prospects are the brightest OF
any time during all the years they
have been in business. They now have
| bona fide orders from gllt-edged con-
Germs for a larger number of machines
| than they ever had orders for at any
one time. Their export trade has beer
growing in all parts of the world, anc
| if any one of the several large export
deals they have in sight is closed, they
will have orders for all the wheels the!

She was silent for some minutes,
and the crimson leaves of the Glove

"Why like church," he asked, with
some amusement.
Because one of the best sermons I
have ever heard has been preached to
me here" she replied. 81 have learn

Then he watched her as she went
from one bed of mignonette to anoth-
er, looking eagerly for the choicest
sprays, holding them up to him with
wistful, eager face and sweet, pathet-
10 eyes.
"Will this do, and this?" she asked
as simply as child. "Oh, Raoul, hope
he will not be angry-I hope
he will be pleased l shall tell you
how l get on. I am nervous about
it."
In another minute the beautiful face
had disappeared, and Sir Raoul was left
in the pleasaunce alone.
"a man might lay down his life for
such woman as that" he said, with
what was almost a sigh.
Lord Caraven stood in the billiard
room at Ravensmere; he had been
playing with one of his friends, who,
having received a telegram, had gone
to answer it. He stood alone, leaning
carelessly against the open veranda,
something more than his usual indif-
ference darkening his face; he never
liked interruption during game.
"a most unpropitious moment"
caught sight of him; but, having CIV
en- her word to Sir Raoul, she would
have marched up to the mouth of
loaded cannon rather than have brok-
en- it.
Looking up, the earl could not but
confess that he had seldom seen
lovelier picture than his young wife at
that moment presented. with a flush
on her face and her hands filled with
sprays of fragrant mignonette.
She would not reveal her hesitation.
but went straight to him, smiling so
that he little guessed how her heart
beat. He raised his eyebrows as she
drew nearer to him. What was going
to happen? Before he had time to
speak his face was buried in soft,
dewy mass of fragrant mignonette.
"There" said laughing voice. "You
said this morning that this was your
favorite flower. l have been looking
for the most fragrant sprays of 1t that

ands of people say that it does not
protect them when away from home.
1t has been said in mass meetings
that it was no longer the flag Of the
free. And yet there is not one of those
who make the remarks referred to who
would not fight in minute for that
same flag If any one beside an Ameri-
can citizen spoke against it.
A singular fact concerning the Amer
lean flag and the people over whom 1t
floats is that with all reverence for it
they are dreadfully irreverent with it.
The flag is something to be cheered
and saluted and honored in every way,
but when it is worn out it is cast aside
and new one substituted. Nobody
knows and nobody cares where the
worn out ones go to. Sufficient to the
day is the fact that they have served
their purpose.
This by no means refers to the bat
tie flags. No, indeed. If there are
only three inches of red, white and
blue, and single star remaining at
tached to the staff of such a banner,
the people think infinitely more of 1t
than they would of the finest thirty
foot flag that was ever made. The
poor old rent and tattered banners all
have a meaning. There is history,
tragedy, romance and sometimes hui
NOR among the memories of the dear
old relics. Let any one who doubts
that pay a visit to the state house at
Hartford, Conn, that staid old town,
where it used to be against the law for
a man to kiss his wife on Sunday.
Manufactured old farmers come in
and view the cases where the flags are
located and presently If one cares to
watch there will be distinct evidences
of moisture and the dew on the grass
of Jane morning was never more de-
lightful than the dew of patriotism that
really springs from the heart of the
American citizen, whether he be old
and Manufactured or in the flush OF
youth.
When we wake up on Fourth OF
July morning, those Of us who have
passed beyond the delightful time OF
a. m. and firecrackers, we are often
disposed to make sundry and pointed
remarks about the noise that We hear.
But when we gather ourselves together
and get to the window and look out;
