OBJECTS TO MISREPRESENTATION
OF HER WORK.
Disclaims Responsibility for Absurd
Reports About the Work for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Editor Star: BY the publication in
one of the papers of carelessly writ
ten article | am represented as being
responsible for a narrowing tale of
the death of dog who is still able to
wag his own tail. Ordinarily the sat
isfaction | would feel in learning that
reports made to me of cruelty to ami
mails are untrue would be ample COM
pensation for the good natured ban
tering | received from my friends
about my efforts to prevent cruelty to
animals.
But when, as in this case, through
wholly gratuitous misrepresentation
those who are not in sympathy with
the work in behalf of dumb animals,
are enabled to throw discredt on that
work, [ feel that in justice to myself
and the marshal under whose commits
sion | am acting, | must protest. Peo-
pie come to me daily with the most
positive assertions of cruelty to ami
mails of the facts of which they profess
the most certain knowledge. But
when | examine into the matter, find
their stories have no other foundation
than the most distant hearsay of the
prattle of children, or the ill-natured
remarks of people about their neigh.
bors. When | find this to be the case
the stories go no further through my
instrumentality. If others wish to
spread them | cannot help it, but
object decidedly to being quoted as
authority for them, and especially as
in the case in question when l request
ed and was promised that nothing
should be said about it, because there
was no foundation for the reports OF
cruelty to this particular dog.
The facts in this case are that I was
told that Mr.. Walkers dog had beer
beaten till he died. But almost i'm
mediately 1 learned positively that
the dog was alive and well. There was
neither investigation nor need of in
vestigaton. But the original story
was published as coming from me
And il is such things that I object to
With all who are in sympathy Will
the work, I shall gladly cooperate
and will not upbraid them even whel
| find as / have found in the past tha
much of what they hear and repeat t,
me as fact doesn't "pan out"
But | don't want to be held respon
sible for stories that I neither inven
nor circulate.

FOUNDERS DAY.
Program TO Begin With Field Sports
This Afternoon.

Founders Day sports will begin at
1880 o'clock on the grounds of Kane
hameha school. The general public is
invited to attend, and there will
doubtless be the usual town patron
age and appreciation. All of the
events will be carried out by pupils
of the school. A report that Punahou
will join is a mistake. In fact, such
is not usual nor expected.
At 6 o'clock this evening the lads
of the boys school will be feasted at
the girls school on the other side of
the road. At that time reception
will DE rendered them by teachers and
pupils.
At o'clock on Monday evening the
public addresses by President Dole
and w. N. Armstrong will be given in
the gymnasium hall.

KAWAIAHAO CEMETERY.

Hon. A. S. Cleghorn is engaged in
looking after the neglected cemetery
of Kawaiahao church. Nothing has
been done there for the past forty
years, and it is the most delapidated
looking spot in the city. 1t is no
light job to put it into order and to
sweep away all the lumber of rotting
picket fences and make the graves
look neat. In year or so, however,
there will be a great change. Some
generous subscriptions have already
been promised.

Beatrice Clayton in Philadelphi Ledger.
OF late a change has been apparent in
the popular taste concerning household
furniture. Instead of the once inevitable
light oak fancy has turned back again to
the more Sombre and stately effect of darker
woods--mahogany, walnut, and especially
black oak. Furniture makers have been
kept busy designing straight backed chairs,
massive sideboards, tables, tabourets, cabi-
nets, such as were in use 800 years ago.
This. new style, or rather this revival Of
old style, is expensive, but none the less
fashionable for that, and the medieval
surroundings in which we find ourselves
serve to remind us that the history OF civ
ilization is recorded in the evolution of
household furniture.
EVOLUTION OF THE CHAIR.
That very commonplace object, Il chair,
was wrought out by thought and labor
during more than one century. y block
of wood was the first form of seat; then
the block, less heavy, was elevated on
several smaller blocks; then the supports,
more slight. were fixed into the block it
self, and the stool thus formed was COM
plete so far as shape went.
Stools were used as seats many centuries
before chairs were arrived at; but the rude
block first known became afterwards the
form of throne on which custom required
IL sovereign to be crowned, say the histor
ians of the Ang -Saxons. The stone be-
meath the coronation chair in Westminster
Abbey is adduced in proof of this fact,
and large stone now preserved with rev
erential care and solicitude at Kingston
on-Thames enthroned no less than seven
of the Saxon Kings on the occasions Of
their coronation. Chairs were first hewn
out of rock, it is supposed. The corona
ton chair itself, in Westminster, just re-
ferred to, belonged first to Edward the
Confessor, it may be remarked here, and
is believed to be the oldest chair existent
in the whole of England.
UNCOCTH FURNITURE OF THE ANGLO
SAXONS.
The outdoor life and hardihood of the
Anglo -Saxons is attested in the uncouth
furniture of their rude mansions. One
would imagine that they must have dis
covered traces OF reminders of the civiliza-
ton which the Roman mobiles brought
with them at the time when Britain
groaned beneath Caesars despotic yoke;
but they evidently felt no impulse of en-
ulation.
On the wooden thrones just described
were carvings which bore some likeness to
Roman affairs, but little effort appears to
have been spent on such attempts at ele
gance. Ingenuity appears to have been
principally directed toward celebrating and
varying the uncouth stools which SO long
remained the most common article Of fur
niture. These sometimes displayed pan
ellings; sometimes the seats were triangu-
lar with single wooden upright-fore-
runner of chair back. Others still more
closely indicated the coming chair, having

The woman who holds mans heart in her hands
Need not be pretty nor possessed of rich lands.
She needn't wear clothes just teeung with style;
She needn't possess the first worldly vile.
Her eyes may be brown, her eyes may be blue,
To him she'sa beauty away through and through
If she's true.
It's her soul that he cares for, her seadfast deyo-
ton,
Her love is unbounded, as free ms the ocean;
The touch of her hands, the glance of her eye,
The swift rush of color that comes when he's nigh;
The thousand and one little things she can do
That show him so plainly right through and
through
That she's true.
What does it matter if Others are fairer
She possesses virtue that maker her far rarer
Than professional beauties, cold hearted and vain,
She would give him her all and care not to gain
Aught but a smile, a low II love you,'
Which thrills her whole being away through
For she's true.
Days may be dark, days may be fair,
In sickness, in health, in joy, in despair
She proves in each crisis that her love is real;
1t shines on serenely, come woe veal.
The world counts for nothing, what can it do
If she belongs to him utterly all through and
through
And is true?
