A HANDSOME GET.

The assurance of a subscription of
$500 towards the home for incurables is
eminently satisfactory to all who take
an interest in this subject. 1t is ever
the first step that costs, and the first
step has been taken in a very substan-
tial manner. With such an example, no
doubt others will follow, and The Star
will be very willing to receive and take
charge of other amounts for this pur-
pose
The fact that a subscription has al
ready been commenced will be an In
centive to the committee to get a site
for the building. President Dole, who
has taken a great interest in this mat
ter states that the committee will make
another effort to obtain the site sug-
gested, which belongs to the Bishop es-
tate. If this is again refused the COM
mittee will fall back upon a site, not as
convenient nor as suitable, but which
belongs to the Government.
1t is needless to urge haste upon the
committee. The light which has been
thrown upon this subject of late shows
the necessity that there is for immedi-
ate action. we not only need this home
in the future, we want it now, as soon
as we can get it. There vial be much to
do In arranging plans for the buildings,

The resignation of Professor Hosmer
from Oahu college will be felt as a dis
inct loss by the community. The pro-
fessor has during the term of his office,
done good work among the youth of the
Islands and has raised the standard of
the institution he has been connected
With. In nothing has Professor Hosmer
succeeded better than in instilling a
thoroughly virile tone into those who
have passed under his influence. Man.
Illness and gentleness go together and
an institution which has tone of mem
tai strength, and which also aims at
physical advancement, is one which is
OF great advantage to the state. The
time will come when Oahu college will
develop into the university of the ter
ritory of Hawaii; when it does most
prominent among the names of those
who helped to carry it to higher plane
will be that of Frank A. Hosmer.

The work done by the officers and
members of the Salvation Army is I'M
ostentatious, but it is true charitable
work which can be admired by people
of very denomination. The Salvation
lists take a view of their religious du-
ties somewhat different from that en-
tertained by the regular clergy. The
Salvationist gets among the people, he
does not deal with the people from a
lofty plane, he is never condescending.
He shows himself one of them. More
over the success of the female Saliva
tiOnists has been phenomenal, there has
probably never been religious organ
ization which has given as hard work
to its female members to do. But un-
doubtedly the work of the female MEM
bers has contributed largely to the
progress of the movement. The energy
of Ensign Sharp at Waimea, Kauai,
has saved some Chinese children from
life of misery. Miss Sharp has seen
that her duty lay not with any particu-
lar nationality, nor any particular form
of religion. She listened to the call of
humanity and then went forward in
practical manner. The Salvation Army
work, means work for the individual,
not merely the distribution of funds
supplied by others.

FRIDAY, JUNE 80, 1899.

Typhoid seems to be very prevalent
this season. The town of Hilo has had
what might be almost considered an
epidemic. From Punaluu, by the w. G.
Hall. three cases have been reported
and in the central part of Maui, there
have been quite a number of cases and
some deaths. The sources of all water
supply should be carefully investigated
by the Government physicians. 1t
might be good thing if the Board of
Health should issue strict orders for
such an investigation everywhere, as
has been ordered for Lahaina

in putting the grounds in order, and in
soliciting subscriptions. The longer a
commencement is put off, the longer
will be the realization of the plans in
coming to fruition.
This is one of the pieces of charitable
work which there must be no let up on
until success is reached. The actual
fact that $500 has been subscribed al
ready should act as a stimulous upon
all who are interested in the movement
There is hardly person of long resi-.
dence in the place who has not had rea.
son to know of the necessity of such ar
institution. 1t only requires energy &c
make it a realized fact One of our
greatest faults on the Islands is to tall
over and argue the pros and cons of q
project. Argument is a very good thing
in this way, but this matter has beer
argued and canvassed long enough it is
time for action now.

A BIT OF REVERE.


Today large numbers of native Ha-
waiians fiocked to Kawaiahao to take
last look at one of the last of the
chiefesses, and a number of citizens of
other nationalties were also present,
moved, some by motives of respect, and
some by idle curiosity. 1t is one of the
inevitable results of public display, that
very mixed motives bring the crowd to-
gether. But in the case of the late
Queen Dowager Kapiolani, there has
been a majority of those present who
either knew her personally or else fully
appreciated her great worth.
! 1t is very sad thought to those who
have lived under the old order of things,
to see the representatives of it, the
component parts of it passing away,
one by one, till soon the whole will be
but a memory and in generation or
two there will be hardly anything to
call it to mind, and the very memory
will have passed away, and knowAFige
of it will be only found in some musty
tome upon a disused shelf Of a library.
Such a feeling is but natural 1t does
ents of history changed one particle, it
does not mean that the system ought
not to have met it's deserved end; but
it is the yelling up of the emotional
side of ones nature, and the putting
aside facts, for the play of little mel
ancholy fancy. ..
The number belonging to the old or
\
and soon there will be no direct repre-
sentatives left. Among these few last
none was more respected than Kapio-
lani. Never very strong personality,
there was a dignity mingled with a
sweetness in her character, which won
to her many friends. She had, more
over, characteristic which has not
been the attribute of many of her race.
She was careful and not prodigal, but
that enabled her to be more truly and
judiciously charitable, than one with a
lavish purse could ever hope to be.
OF those who have been today, and
who will go tomorrow to gaze upon the
rigid features, from which the life-light
has departed, and upon the funereal
| pump u a. royal Iunefdl ceremony, 1t is
to be hoped there will be some who will
think more of the woman and her good
and charitable life, than of the mere
show which surrounds her empty shell.
tbs all soon to turn to dust itself, the
flowers will wither and die, the trap
pings will fade, and the very feet of
those who go to the ceremony are
steadily marching the same way and
bearing each one individually to his or
her own tomb.
Just as the body dies so do dynasties
die, races die, and empires wane into
the past. In the case of the late Kapio-
lani, she was one of the last represen-
tatives of a former order of things. For
us a new order has arisen, bright and
strong as the lusty power of youthful
manhood. But the time will come in
future generations when the same will
happen to the representatives of the
present, and it too will pass away, for
nothing human is enduring. All passes
away and is but as tale that is told.

There is very little information forth
coming from the Philippines. That
more troops are urgently needed, and
that the executive desires a vigorous
campaign which shall end the war, are
the only items contained in the very
meager mention about the islands. A
late telegram states that General JOS
eph Wheeler has been ordered to the
Philippines, and then proceeds to spec
ulate as to whether he is to replace Otis.
The ordinary comment is that the Unit
ed States needs good fighters. That is
not what the United States needs.
There is probably no more gallant a set
of fighters upon earth than are now In
the Philippines. What is needed is a
general who can thoroughly grasp the
situation, and can use the fighting quail
tiles of his officers and men to the best
permanent advantage. 1t is very evil
dent that Otis ability in this direction
is becoming doubtful. But upon such
points the present generation is not
likely to be enlightened. Thirty years
hence the inner history will be written.

THE EVENT OF THE YEAR.

The Berlinese "Kleine Zeitung'' has
been going about asking the following
question: What is the most important
event OF the nineteenth Gentry? Right
off the majority of its readers an
swered: Bismarcks founding Of the
German empire. But the majority is
always wrong. Bismarck did not found
the German empire. He refunded It.
The founding was done by Charlie
magne. However, it is not our place to
teach these people their own history.
Others answered: Darwins theory of
the descent of man. But these, too,
are in error. The theory attributed to
Darwin was originated by Iamarck.

said before, ETC., etc. The choice of
the minority was divided up into votes
for anesthetics, bacterology and spec
trail analysis. An old subscriber picked
out the cars rescript. A constant
reader selected Zo1a's initiative. A
group Of ladies indicated the new
woman. A political club declared for
socialism. A professor was unable to
see anything approaching the kajser's
pilgrimage to Jerusalem A literary
gentleman was equally blind to any
thing beyond Goethe's Faust, except
his contempt for those who ara not

The projectors Of the different hat fac

and fully 1000 employees reached their
homes by this means. The New York,

Springfield, Feb. 13.-The through
trains on the Boston and Albany and

from one to four hours behind time all
day. Early this evening the Consol-
idated gave up the effort of getting
trains through. No trains went or ar
rived from the west on the Boston and
Albany after s D. m, because of the
heavy grades and deep cuts in the
Berkshire hills Local trains were run
ming this evening on the Connecticut

road. Many passengers from the east
and west stayed over night in this city
Among them was Secretary of State
Olin. The street railway traffic was
suspended early this afternoon. To-
night the main lines are being kept
open by, plows. Most of the big stores
sent their women employees home
shortly after dinner in sleighs. Nearly
all of the shops employing women
