summoning the police. Gathering all the breath fright had left in her, feel ing as powerless to make sound as one does in a nightmare, or as a woman when she sees a Wished-for car fleeing past her, the 16-year-old hero inc put police whistle to her lips. She blew and blew Then with the con- sciousness that only the speedy ap- pearance of a blue-coated officer stood between them and the revenge of the bold burglar below stairs, the family waited.
 Strange to say, the noise below did not cease. The girls sat motlonless. What a desperate wretch he must be who would continue his nefarious em- ployment after being warned by the piercing scream of the police whistle!
 It is well known-or it should be among burgIars-that when a woman blows police whistle it is not so much for the purpose of bringing the police as it is to frighten the burglar away. But this burglar evidently was a stranger to fear. The strange noises below increased, and just as the two girls were about to swoon with fearful suspense the sound of the policeman s footsteps on the front steps revived them.
 The cautious officer-his name is Green-enlefeu anu lSleAeu ID IHe whispered explanation the frightened women gave. Indeed, it wasn't neces- sary for them to explain fully, for a corroborative thump came from below stairs, and the guardian of the streets safety drew his revolver and started out upon an Investigating tour.
 The women waited, their fingers in their ears, that they might not hear. But time elapsed and nothing hap Dened except at intervals those muf- fled sounds that had first alarmed the household.
 Presently the brave policeman re- turned.
 Well? Wel1?" came the question from throats, dry with anxiety.
 But the gravity of the affair had inn pressed Officer Green. He had no posi-

COUNTY HOSPITAL
 MUST BE REMOVED
A Mass Meeting Is Held at Maennerbund Hall by In-
 prOVenent Clubs.
Three Organizations Are Incor- pOrated Into a Single
 Body.

A mass meeting to agitate the removal of the City and County Hospital and to consid 1T and adopt various other resolu- tions for the benefit of the residents of the Mission was held at Maennerbund Hall at Twenty-fourth street and Po- trero avenue, yesterday afternoon. AL though the resolution of the removal of the hospital was paramount to all others, the subject of the filling in of the swamp lands between Twenty-sixth and Army streets and San Bruno avenue and a resolution to extend Folsom street were also brought up for consideration and adopted.
 A short time ago the important con- clusion was reached by members of the improvement clubs that without concert ed action and the necessary influence the Board of Supervisors would not hold to their promise of removing the County Hospital from its present site to the Almshouse tract
 This combination of the three distinct improvement organizations, although in- corporated for the attainment of a com mon object, could not refrain from the vidual needs as paramount to the removal of the hospital. and for awhile it looked as though dissention were rapidly breed ing, which would ultimately terminate in a free exhibition of fistic argument. Su- peryisor Rottanzi, however, found the key to the solution of the difficulty, and held up the argument that when the resi- dents of the Mission, through the com btned efforts of the members of the im-

Policeman Green put his whistle to his lips and blew blast that reused California street from Bu- chanan to Seiner. Then he returned to comfort the startled family with his presence-which is a sturdy, solid six feet by four of comfort, 1t is not to be denied.
 The two girls sat pale and still, hold ing each others hands, not daring to breathe freely till the stiffness of the night was broken by the approaching swift tread of the relief party.
 Then they hid their heads in the pill lows, while the sergeant and his four valiant men started determinedly to apprehend the disturber. Softly, their pistols in their hands, their eyes on the alert for the enemy, they filed through the downstairs rooms. Nothing was disturbed. Everything had the dumb. waiting appearance of living rooms late at night Suddenly the noise was again heard.
 'In the basement" whispered Officer Green.
 Cautiously they crept out into the yard: carefully but with courageous de- termination they forced the basement door. The five six-footers entered.
 Upstairs the girls waited. mistaking their own heart beats for the report of the revolvers they expected and dread cd to hear. At last the elder raised a pale, determined face from the friendly pillow. She heard an indescribable noise. a confusion of terrible sounds; then the fall of heavy body. She shivered. and. quickly muff1ing her pretty ears with the pillow. she heard no more

 When the younger girl, whose strong sense of duty told her it was her time this time to listen. raised pitiful face from the pillow, she thought that the intense nervous strain of that awful night must have driven her mad. For she heard-not the report of a pistol, not the long drawn shriek of a soul in agony. but a guffaw from four burly

chests that shook the house, and pene- trated through two floors to the Quak- ing girls above.
 The funniest part of it, though, is the fact that that guffaw seems to be never ending. Officer Green says that he, too. has a sense of humor-although he didn't join in the broadside of laughter that met the astonished cat last Thurs day before dawn-but he insists that the joke is laughed out Four other brave policemen out in the Western Ad- dition don't agree with him. What s more, they can't mention Thursday morning last or California street or Po- liceman Green without firing a volley of laughter which makes that poor, re- formed household cat shiver with ap- prehenSiOn.

It was 2 o'clock last Thursday morn ing when the family was aroused by one of the members who had been lying awake trying to convince herself that she heard nothing suspicious, that no unusual noise disturbed the serene night. that-in short, that the best thing to do was to turn over and go to sleep again.
 But the alarming sounds were heard again, and the 16-year-old daughter slid softly out to bed, passed noiselessly into her sisters bedroom and in awed whispers communicated the fact that at last their turn had come.

Auditor Broderick Annoyed by the
 Actions of City Employees.

Auditor Frederick is growing impatient over the manner in which the brokers are turning in assignments of the salaries of various City Hall employees. It is not infrequently the case that three or four demands for the same month come in and are quietly filed away by the Auditor, who hands the demand to the first claim ant and allows the others to fight it out with the man who did the assigning.
 A certain deputy In the County Clerk S office is one of those who is causing the Auditor considerable annoyance. Three brokers held assignments on his February salary, and two have already come in for that of March. Mir.

Hon. Sanford Dole, Honolulu Hawaii,
L. s. A.
Dear Sir:-Greetings to the New
State, We have rejOiced for Hawaii
in her progress and so do we rejoice
yet more that we are made stronger
and broader and more helpful by her
joining US. May her Star never set.
The Newsboys were organized on
the basis of Brotherhood and are a
part of the International Brotherhood
League that is at work all over the
world for the Brotherhood. They or
ganized in March of this year with 20
boys and have now over 600 members.
Our object is to help civilize and edu-
cate and upIift the street boys, care
for them when sick or injured, pay
them a weekly benefit when disabled,
provide a home for the needy that shall
afford to all an attractive, eIevating in
fiuence and in every way to brighten
lives that at best have but little sun
shine and with this to eradicate self
ishness through teaching real Broth
erhoOd.
We need several thousand dollars to
accomplish this and our war with
Spain, Brotherhood war, has so af-
fected business and drawn on all our
resources that but for generous and
speedy aid we must fail. And so we
have thought to ask our new sister in
her happiness and rejoicing not to for
get the boys who were first to bring
to our knowledge the news of her birth
with shouts of Hawaii Annexed" We
make no specific request, leaving the
entire matter to be handled as you
may think best, and we shall appre-
ciate whatever may be done; but if we
should succeed in securing the home
we hope to and need so much we
should be more than pleased to be able
to testify to our success being due to
the valuable assistance rendered by
the youngest star on our flag. We only
ask to be favored with as early a reply
as is practicable.
In any event may peace and prosper
ity be the future of Hawaii and Of
yourself, who has done so much. to Sc
cure it. Cordially and sincerely yours,
