Farewell and Welcome to Army

a farewell to the Engineers and well
come to the Artillery. Nearly all the

together with those of the Artillery and
Engineers. A number of outsiders
We're invited, among whom were mem
bers of the Orpheum company, who
added greatly to the entertainment of
the evening. In this connection Jim
Post and Matt Keefe deserve special
mention. Capt. Ashley also made
things lively with his piano playing
and singing. General good fellowship
prevailed. The Engineers were made
to feel that their farewell was the out
come of cordial friendship, while the
Artillery officers realized that their
greeting was warm and sincere. Re-
freshments were served and the jollifi-
cation was kept up until late hour.

Once a Jockey.

Matt Keefe, the sweet voiced and
popular boy tenor of the Orpheum,
must have lived few more years
than the average boy. There are sew
eral people in Honolulu who remem
ber Keefe when he was a knight OF
the pigskin and who would be pleased
to see him ''up" again ON a turkey
leg" or jumper. Keefe has ridden On
many of the best tracks of America
and has had some notable mounts
Until he was severely hurt at a jump
he was regarded as having no superior
in plotting hurdle horse. Keefe was
din a race with a large stake and much
betting and had fine horse for the
route. On the next to last jump the
horse went down and Keefe was a
cripple for months. At times it was
thought that he would surely pass
over but a strong constitution and
good care pulled him through.

The protection of Honolulu from a
sweeping fire is of the highest import
ance alike to property owners and fire
underwriters.
A full investigation of the. main
features essential to the safety of any
city develops the presence in Honolulu
of an ample water supply and distrfb-
utlng system of water mains, sufficient
for the present size of the city and it's
prospective growth, for some years at
least. The 12-inch main now being
laid and the changes taking place in
the displacement of small mains by
larger ones up to 8 inches, places Ho-
nolulu in the front rank as to water
supply and size of mains, also the
changes going on as to the hydrants
challenge full approval. Indeed it was
a pleasure to examine the routes and
distribution of mains and hydrants in
the company of Mr.. Andrew Brown,
superintendent of water works, and to
recognize that in his work the city is
building better than the great bulk of
the people have any idea Of The value
of the services now being rendered
cannot be overestimated. Honolulu,
so far as the question of water supply
protection purposes, comes under the
head of what is known as a fully pro-
tected' or standard city,
When it comes to the question of fire
department or means of utilizing the
water supply and being prepared to
cope with fire, Honolulu falls abruptly
into the position of a Third Class
town. 1t has the skeleton or nucleus
of fully paid department., and service,
but here the comparison ends. The
principal defects and urgent needs are
as follows:
First an extension hook and ladder
truck, with crew.
Second, Auxiliary heaters on the en-
gines in USE
Third, A fire alarm telegraph sys-
tenn.
Fourth, Extra or service men to man
the steamers in use.
Fifth, An extra pair of horses.
Sixth, A light steamer for the hill or
dwelling section.
Seventh, A separation of the depart
ment service, SO that the city is not
left at the mercy of the possible sec
ond fire.
These changes and additions will not
make an ideal department, but simply
bring Honolulu into line with most
cities of it's importance in America.
1t is said that the money to purchase
a truck has been appropriated and is
available at the present time. Surely
the property owners ought to know
where the fault lies before fire comes
along and raises the question. Auxil-
larry heaters are said to have been in
use several years ago, under the vol
unteer department system, but as the
heating was poorly attended to they
fell into disuse. When a fire comes on
in Chinatown or in any one Of the
stores where values are concentrated,
the spectacle of an engine or two do
ing nothing while steam is being raised
will excite CONSERVATION in short order.
A fire alarm telegraph system is in
valuable in any city and will save its

THE GRE OF ROSEA.
Many Are Shy Biooners, and Give Only an
Occasional Flower After July.

Many Are Shy Biooners. and GIVE Only an
Occasional Flower After July.
Harper's Bazaar.
Juno roses require pruning but once
year. This should be done in spring,
as soon as one is able TO see where the
strongest and healthiest shoots are
going to be. The old wood should he
cut back nearly half, and all weak, un-
healthy branches should be removed.
II the branches arc thick, they should
be thinned out we'll. Air should have
free circulation through the plant.
Hybrid perpetuals require different
treatment. As their flowers are pro.
duced on new growth only, they should
be grown On a system which insures
the constant production of such growth.
This is done by making and keeping
the soil very rich, ard by cutting the
plants back sharply after each period
Of towering. The term perpetual IS a
misleading one, because il carries with
it the idea that the roses in this class
are, under all conditions, ,ever-bloomers,
But such is not the case. They bear
a profuse crop OF flowers in June and
July. After that, by pursuing the
treatment advised above, they bloom
at intervals during the season, but
never in such profusion as in early
summer. Without the treatment ad.
vised they will not do this. Many
varieties arc shy bloomers, and will
only give an occasional flower after
July. The freest blcomers are not pro-
life enough to suit the lover of fine
roses, but their flowers. though few
in number compared with those of the
first crop, are so large, SO fine in form,
so rich in color, and so fragrant as a
general thing that we cannot afford to
overlook this class in making our col
lections of roses. 1t requires more at
tention than any othor, but the results
are well worth all the care we expend
on it.
OF the June roses the best for general
use are the mosses, in red, pink and
white; the Provence and the good old
damask. both delightfully."- sweet, large
double, and Of fine shape, and pro-
duced with wonderful freedom; the
yellow Persian, which we'll merits the
name "Cloth Of Gold," so rich in
the color; and the small low growing
Scotch and Austrian varieties. There
are others in this general class which
deserve place in any collection, but
have named those with which the
amateur gardener win be most likely to
succeed. When he or she learns to
grow these we'll, other sorts can be
added with a reasonable chance of sue
cess,
