celebrate, and let there be no mistake
as to its meaning. It means the tri-
umph of no party or faction among
you, the opportunity for no personal
Qualification or personal resentment,
the confirmation in power of no author
ity over you that shall not commend
itself to the sense of fairness and of
Justice Of the representatives Of the
American people, but rather the burial
of past prejudices, the Obliteration Of
narrow divisions and the ultimate pO-
Iitical advancement of the humblest
citizen over whom this flag shall float.
'But it is not for you to rest con-
tent in the enjoyment of free institu-
tions. 1t is for you to help maintain
them, to maintain them in the spirit
they will be extended to you, in the
spirit you have sought them, in the
spirit of fraternity and equality, in the
spirit Of the Constitution itself, now
the supreme law Of your land, to estab-
fish justice, TO ensure your tranquility,
TO provide for the common defense, to
promote your welfare, and TO secure
the blessings of liberty to yourselves
and your posterity.
"This is the work before you my
countrymen and I bid you advance to
il. Hand in hand may you go, you Of
the home race with those whose faith
er's land this was, and whose generous
virtues have won for them the regard
OF all mankind. Hand in hand may
you go with them as they carry with
them their unfaltering love of country
into the broad plane of American cit
izenship.
Advance to the uplifting and up
building of this land to prove it worthy
to share the Destiny of the Great Re
public.
Empire may wait indeed, but no
hand save His who holds in the hol-
low of His hand the fate of nations
can stay that destiny;
God bless you my cOuntrymen!
God bless the United States of Am
erica!"
The oath of allegiance to the United
States was then administered by Chief
Justice Judd to President Dole as
president of the Republic of Hawaii,
now a territory of the United States"
and to Ministers Cooper, Smith, Damon
and King, and the ceremonies of the
day were over.

COLORS ON SHIPPING.

Along the waterfront there were dec
orations on the craft in the harbor, the
wharves, dredger, marine railway and
the Myrtle and Healani boat houses.
The big flag waved from the pole on
the coal bunkers at the railway dock.
Further off a bran new Stars and
Stripes spread out to the breeze from
Oahu prison Only the two Golfers
Kate Davenport and Sea King worked
during the day They were both dis
charging at the Mail wharf The Rob
ert Levers. Irmgard and Andrew
WEIGH had bunting from stem to stern
and the steamer Kauai was audaciOus
enough to fly "OId Glory at the main
during the day. The Inter Island Of
! fees were covered with flags and lines
| to which were attached small flags
| stretched up to the high pole over the
| building. This had been done under
| the eye of that ardent anneXatlonlst
James L. Mclean, the secretary of the
company.
No decorations were on the PhiIadel
phia or Mohican. At the appointed
hour the Hawaiian flag was hOisted,
salute given and then it was haule'
down again-then Old Glory went III
again and another salute.

FIREWORKS DISPLAY.

The fire works display last night
was quite the most elaborate ever wit
messed in Honolulu. Bombs and rock
cts were set off constantly between
the hours of 1880 and 8. To add to
the effect the exterior lights of the Elk
ecutive building were turned off dur
ing the display. James A. Kennedy
was in charge 1t is estimated that
5000 people were in the grounds and
1000 more in neighbOring streets.
Grounds and Executive building were
thrown open to the public and great
thrOngs availed themselves of the OPP
portunity to see the latter in its ball
dress.

the work Of re-enrolling the companies
began. All not caring to serve further
were at liberty to drop out. The re-
suit was most satisfactory. Companies
A, c, F and G. enlisted almost solid
over again, every member of each pres
ent signing over Forty-nine members
Of Company B signed over, this being
about all present. Fifty-one members
of Company D took the new oath and
enrolled. Five Portuguese in one Of
the regular companies, +, refused TO
go on, not caring TO take the oath OF
allegiance to the United States. Seven
members of II, four of whom were ma
tiyes, dropped out for the same reason.

After the Flag Raising the First
Regiment passed around through King
and Likelike streets and formed in
three sides of a square at the Waikiki
end of the parade grounds. The bat
talon of American troops marched
through King and Richards streets and

a way as to complete the immense
square In this position the troops
presented quite an imposing sight In
the center Of the square Colonel Fisher
took the oath and then administered
it to staff, field and line officers, drawn
mp together.
Just prior to this time President
Dole and staff, Minister Cooper, Chlet

repairs had been made and the illum- |
ination was a grand success. There
were hundreds upon hundreds of in
candescent lights on the outside and
several designs, including an Ameri-
can shield in correct colors. The in
terror, everywhere, was flood of light.
The decorations in the main hallway,
in the old throne room and on the
stairway were placed by the Misses
Along, MIS-. Hutchinson and Miss
Emma Davidson, and were very taste
full Strangely enough two of the
floral banks in front of mirrors made
the Spanish cOlOrs, but this was not
noticed by many people.
The reception began promptly at 9
o'clock and continued for more than
an hour, during which time there was
| regular crush. A number of sOGIety
men were drafted into service as ush-
/ ers. The receiving party included
! President Dole, Mrs. Dole, American
Minister Sewan, Mrs Sewan, Admiral
! Miller, Col. Barber. The President was
attended by his chief of staff, Col.
| SOper.
1t was democratic enough for any
one, this evening function. A couple
of thousand people attended Every
one was welcome everywhere. The
grounds were thrOnged till past mid
night The dancing, for the first hour
was confined to a small space on ac-
count of the great number of people il
the hall. Music was by the Govern
ment band. Refreshments were served
on the mauka balcony.
The ball was made notable by tht
great number of stunning party gown:
in evidence.
The dancing was entered into will
zest and was especially pleasant dur
ing the latter portion Of the party, "a!
the crowd had then thinned out enough
to allow floor space for the ones car
ing most for the pastime. The fool
had been carefully prepared.

In slingshot time a number of small
boys armed with the implements of
torture that proved so disastrous to Co
liath in the days when David fought
his fortunate duel, were congregated
in one of the tiny triangles of the city,
dealing death and destruction to the
focks of English sparrows resting in
the trees surrounding the small park.
Several shots had had a disastrous eff

and the boys were preparing to slay all
the others when the scornful voice OF
q woman made them miss their aim and
turn around in guilty haste, says the
Chicago Post.
'You are nice sort of boys, you are.
she exclaimed, disdainfully, ito kill the
poor little birds. Why don't you choose
something of your own size to fight
and not touch something that is small
er than you are. That isn't the way tc
be manly at all. If you must shoot
something, just go up TO Lincoln parl
and pepper the lions and the tigers

At the corner she turned again tc
watch the effect of her suggestion and
found the boys quietly crossing the
street toward home with sunken head.

the change is not always hailed with
Joy.
Over in Gilmer county, Ca, n star
route agent juggled things around so
as to get a six-day mail into a weekly
town. and was chuclSling over the idea
that he had been q benefactor 70 he

hunted him up, with face as long as

Il wish you all would fix il TO change

exclaimed the agent, in amazement.
why, what on earth is the matter?'
Well, it's ike this said the postmaster.
Our folks has been used to comm fer
their letters every Saturday an was
well suited. Now, this here new scheme
has been started, and IL breaks 'em all
