There is much poverty among the
Hawaiians, although we do not see
any beggars in our streets and have
no poor houses filled with paupers.
The Hawaiians are extremely
clannish when it comes to poverty
and each of them is willing to share
his or her last fish and last calahash
filed with poi and with the pauper,
the sick or helpless of his own race
and nationality. The management
of the society is using the very best
discretion in distributing the slender
means Of the society to the best ad-
vantage. The funds must be reple.
uished from time to time and on
Saturday splendid opportunity
will be given to Honolulu to uphold
the well-earned reputation for char-
ty and love towards the Hawaiians
aud at the same time enjoy luau
in the true Hawaiian style.

Douglas Brown, formerly in the
service Of the Post Office, writes a
very clever letter to Mr.. W. Lish-
man, in which he mainly deals with
the habits, dress, ETC., of the native
Filipinos. Douglas feels surprised
that Christianity among the natives
is superficial, and that the "Faith"
OF th1 people in Manila is not very
solid. Ii he had been a member of
the Central Union Church and OF
the Stock Exchange he might have
found the same state of affairs with
regard to Christianity right here.
He has studied the dress of the Fill.
pinos very carefully and, according
TO his report, there isn't too much
Tor study. He likes the place, the
climate agrees with him although
he is in Iloilo, and he has promises
OF a job in the post Office.

CONGRESS AND THE army
Continued from First Page.

BIZ far nearer an ideal measure than it
was when he originally introduced it in
the House. One of the most important
amendments he will submit will be one
to Tx minimum and maximum strength
of the army. He will propose that the
strength of the companies of infantry,
batteries of artillery, and troops of cav
airy be seventy-two enlisted men as a
minimum and las as a maximum. This
will be to prepare the army to meet the
exigencies of peace or war. His amend
ments will provide that the troops serv-
ing in the United States be kept at the
minimum, excepting in the case of &C
tual war. Only those troops serving
abroad will in time of peace be re-
cruited to the maximum. At the mini
mum the army would be composed of
about $4,000 men Of all arms. That
would be when they were all serving
within the United States. In time OF war
his plan would give the army strength
of about 100, 900 men of all arms. An es-
sential part of his plan is that the commits
stoned and on-commissioned strength of
the army, that is, the number of COM
missioned and non commissioned or war
rant officers, be maintained at its full
war strength. By SO doing it would be
easy to recruit the army to the war
limit, if war should come, and to trans
form the raw material into trained
soldiers in the least possible time and at
the least expense in life and treasure.

ment of special or certain parts of the
body was the subject of the third part
and he explained by movements. The
fourth part was devoted to posing after

men.
Prof. Barton was given gold medal
by Sandow, whose best pupil he was
considered. His early training Prof.
