NARROW ESCAPE.
A Couple of Young Men EXplor.
ing Caves Nearly Drowned.

Ben Bruins and JAS Cunningham, of
the Kickapoo company, had an cxcit-
ing adventure at Hookena a few days
ago. With a couple of natives they
started out in a canoe to explore some
caves. Soon after they started the
wind came up and the canoe, which
was very small, was swamped. The
only hope was to swim to the shore,
which was quite a distance away. This
they started to do. The natives sue
ceeded in reaching shore quite easily.
Cunningham also got there safely, but
with difficulty.
Bruins, however, nearly lost his life.
He was seen to be in distress and the
natives started to his assistance. He
was entirely helpless and exhausted.
At last he was pulled up on dry land
in an almost insensible condition. Both
he and Cunningham were sick for sew
eral days after their adventure on &C
count of the quantities of salt water
they had swallowed.

THE BIG RALLY
Preparations for Sunday
School Union.
Different Committees Meet A
Novel Musical Feature
The Decorations.

There is considerable activity among
| the Sunday schools over the Rally. AL
though the facts have not appeared
very generally in print, they are being
disseminated through the committees
Each organization to be. represented
has member on each of the five com
mittees.
The heads of the committees met
yesterday at the Arlington. Mr.. Bow
en-, of the program committee; Mr..
Weldon, of the finance committee; Mr..
Dodge, of the decoration committee.
and Mr.. Coleman, of the order of
march committee, and Mr.. Richards.
of the central committee, were present.
Many interesting items came up dur
ing the meeting. To begin with there
was a report from the music commit
tee. They had met at Miss Hopper's
residence and had arranged for the two
songs to be sung in the exercises. One
was the peculiar property of the Chris
tan Endeavor Society of Hawaii as it
had been written by Mr.. p. H. Dodge
Ito TIE tune, Hawaii PonoD as Ma
t1Onal G.. E. song, which at future con-
ventio1s of that body might serve as a
state song. This song struck the rally
committee as suitable to their purpose,
so they selected it with the approval
OF Mr. Dodge and the G. E. officers. The
other song is the ever-inspiring "On-
ward Christian Soldiers These, it
will be remembered are for the exer-
cises, and the singing Of them will be
under the leadership of Mr.. D. l.. Ma
one, with the accompaniment of four
comets.
The musical feature of the day,
however, is likely to be the singing of
each individual school as it passes the
reviewing stand, which will be put in
front of the opera house. The Chinese
Sunday school, for instance, will stop
before this stand and sing in their own
peculiar way, and then perhaps the
Portuguese or Japanese.
The Kamehameha Girls School is
said to be practicing something special.
This always means something good. Of
course the Boys School will be there
and their excellent band will be con-
siderable acquisition. When it is con-
sidered that Kawaiahao Seminary and
Mr.. Frank Damon's Chinese school will
be present, it will be seen that a good
result musically is assured. Honolu |
LUIS largest organization, the Central |
Union Sunday school, and the other |
foreign organizations will be in attend
ance.
The banners and emblems which |
each school is to carry and stack" in
some central place in the Kawaiahao
yard, will be another inspiring feature.
1t is determined that the decorations,
arches and notices will leave an i'm
preston in the minds of the children
Of no uncertain value.
There will be report of all these
committees to the Central body on Fri
lay, April 81, at A.: 80 at the Y. NJ. G. A.
At this regular meeting Of the Sunday
School Union it is expected that COM
)lete information will be given to Sun
lay school teachers and it is partic-
llarly desirable that all superinten-
Tents and teachers be present. Any
others interested will be welcomed.
