Several years ago a little ban d of
people interested in philanthropic work
banded themselves together under the
name of the Montana Children's Home
| Society for the purpose of finding good
homes for waits. While the state and
municipal governments make liberal
provision for caring for the homeless
by furnishing homes for orphans. these
institutions can not insure the same
care and good moral influences as can
be secured through private charities.
The association concentrates all of
It's efforts toward securing the ad-
vantages of good Christian homes for
little children who have been deprived
OF these birthrights through death.
abandonment or other causes. While
their work has been done SO quietly
that the great public at large scarcely
ever hears of them, they have accomp-
lished great deal in the cause of hu-
manity. The record of the society
shows that up to date 167 children have
been provided with Christian homes and
instead of growing up in the streets
and drifting into the ways of crime, and
eventually becoming public charges
they are developing into sturdy little
men and women who will some day
take their places in the busy world and
be a credit to society. The work of
finding homes for these little wanderers
has been accomplished by Miss Isidore

The professional market continues. Such
being the fact, beyond doubt it is of little
use to devote any very serious attention
to the small fluctuations of the market
from day to day. a good deal of energy
has been expended during the past Few
days in explaining the good advance that
has taken place in security prices, all OF
which will be shown to have been wasted
If today or tomorrow sees decline, which
is not in the least unlikely. The PROBES
SIGNALS are in control largely and they
take advantage of the surface news, or
without any news to go on, push prices
up or down much as they see fit. Neither
advances nor declines are of Importance
in any consideration of the market which
is TO extend over more than day or two.

WILL BE PAID MONTHLY BY
SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT.
Los Angeles, Seattle or Other Coast
Ports May Capture Contract From
San Francisco.

On account OF the great distance of
the Territory from Washington and the
unavoidable length Of time consumed
in communi alton with the Post Office
department. the "nw regulating the
payments for contract mail service in
the Territory of Hawaii has been
changed and such service will here
after be paid for by the Post Office
Department at the expiration of each
month, Instead Of qurterly as hereto
fore"
Assistant Superintendent O'Donnell
Of the Railway Mail Service i'm this
Territory has by special arrangement
made this change Of payment with the
Washington officials, a change that will
be Of great benefit to local holders Of
contracts for carrying mail. many Of
whom could IN afford to wait for the
regular length OF time between quarter
ly payments, and which would, by rea-
son Of the distance take perhaps six
months before the first quarters war
rants came to hand. The present pay
ments, as now arranged, Will be made
by warrants at the end of each month.
All proposals for mail contracts must
reach the Honolulu office by November
10 i'm order to be forwarded and receiv-
ed at the Department at Washington
by December 4, at which time all bids
will be closed.
The other states in the fourth or
western division have almost twenty
more days allowed them for filing con-
tracts than Hawaii, by reason Of their
proximity to the Department, but no
difficulty Is anticipated in getting satis-
factory and sufficient bids for the Ter
ritory within the allotted time. The
district comprises most of the states
west of the Missouri river and includes
Hawaii and Alaska.
In the advertisement asking for bids
for mail carrying between the coast
and the territory, no particular port is
specified while letters and blanks have
been sent to all the postmasters. Thus
It Is within the limits of possibility that
the mail contracts may not be allotted
to q steamer line plying from San Fran
cisco but may be awarded to Tacoma,
Seattle, Los Angeles or San Diego If
their proposals are satisfactory to the
Department.

Very interesting were the methods

Despite the firm trust I'm the ability

Versed.

The Supreme Court consisting OF CAL
braith, Perry and Little did very rapid
work with the appeal I'm the matter Of
the fee allowed to w. w. Thayer in the
estate of Alma. The case was submit
ted last week and this morning a deci-
sion was given, reversing the order Of
the First Circuit Court, allowing Thay-
er $40. The decision in substance was
as follows:
Where the amount of commissions
due an administrator have been de-
finitely settled by decision of this court
and the cause Is remanded to Circuit
Judge for such further proceedings as
may be necessary in conformity with
the foregoing views 1t is error for the
Circuit Judge to allow an attorney s
fee to the attorney OF the legatees and
make the same a charge against the
administrators commissions"
Magoon and Thompson appeared for
the legatees and administrator who OBJ
jected to paying the fee, and Thayer
for the legatees.

TO REPLACE NATIVE KoA.
Australian Blackwood To he Sub
stituted.

Among the trees specially recon-
mended by Forester Haughs for the re-
planting of the forests, is a species of
koa, known as foreign koa or Acacia
melanOXyllon.
This tree is a native of Australasia,
commonly known. as the blackwood and
Is destined to take the place of the
native koa. In some few places the
young native koa trees are doing well
but in the majority of instances it is
practically impossible to grow the in
digenous koa on account Of the borers
that persistently attack the young trees
The blackwood however appears to
be able to resist borers and according
to Forester Haughs grows readily The
bark If Of great use in tanning pur-
poses and 1t may contain some strin-
gent or other quality that Is obnoxious
to the borers. The wood is fully as
beautiful and available for cabinet pur-
poses as the regular koa Of the Islands
The tree grows to the height of from 50
to 100 feet.
