who would be the lady Of his choice.
TIE aucs,ion was settled in the early
part OF 1863. when bis cement was
announced to Princess Alexandra, tne
eldest daughter Of the king OF Den
mark. She was three years younger
than the prince and. though compara-
lively poor, was beautiful and accom-
plished. The marriage was celebrated
in ST. Georges chapel, Windsor castle,
on March 10. 1863.
All England rejoiced over the event.
Tennyson, who had just been made po'
ct laureate, wrote one Of his fine poems.

casion. The princess soon made her
self very popular with all classes OF
tie British public. not only by her out

virtues and amiability. The prince

ALEXANDER HALL.
The New Settlement Building Opened
at Wailuku.

The new Settlement building, here
after to be known as the Alexander
Hall, in honor of Father Alexander, the
pioneer missionary of Wailuku, was
formally opened last Monday morning
for the kindergarten, in charge of MISS
Huntington, assisted by Miss Elizabeth
Rogers. Thirty-three little tots appear
ed on Monday morning and the average
attendance this week has been over
thirty. This number will doubtless in
crease steadily and another assistant
will soon be needed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown came over on
Wednesday, but unfortunately they can
remain with us only two weeks. They
have charge of the reading room and
play room. The reading room is well
equipped with choice current and SER
ial literature, as well as some nice
books of miscellaneous reading. Every
one is perfectly welcome to come and
pass away their leisure hours, either
day or evening, in the reading room.
The young folks are specially invited to
come and enjoy the many interesting
games and the juvenile literature.
There is no other such an institution
on the Islands, and the people of Wal
luku should make it a point to drop in
and in other ways encourage an at
tendance at the reading room.-Maut

ROCK CRUSHERS
TO SHUT DOWN
No More Funds to Garry on
Street and Road
Work.

One of the most regrettable results OF
the Territory's depleted treasury Is the
blow that will be struck at the street
and road work.
Road Supervisor Marston Campbell
and Superintendent of Public Works
McCandless held a consultation yester-
day and it was decided that the rock
crushers at Kalihi and the asylum
would have to be shut down, as there
are not funds to keep the machines go
ing.
"It is much to be regretted" said Mr..
McCandless, "but it cannot be helped.
We have been economizing in all pos
sible directions and by all possible
means, but there is no alternative. We
have even had to economize on the
street sweeping, and Mr.. Campbell has
been compelled to put a number of his
teams out to pasture. There is simply
no money to spend on streets and roads,
and Iamentable as it is, we will simpl1
have to shut down the machines and
let the roads go. 1t will be possible to
run only one Of the crushers at a. time
and Mr.. Campbells experience has
shown him that more work can be ac-
tionary machines than the portable one
now at Kalihi, so he will use only the
one at Makiki, alternating 1t perhaps
with the asylum crusher,- according to
which is the most conveniently situated
to the work.
Mr.. Campbell feels very gloomy over
the necessity Of disseminating the work.
1--WE have just got nicely started" said
he. 1--WE worried along all through the
winter without proper machinery to
work with, and now that we have just
got our crushers all set up and ready
to proceed it seems too bad that we
must shut down. There Is, however
absolutely no help for it, and we must
do the best we can with one crusher
and a small force, working here and
there, and jumping about from place to
place, according to the most urgen'
needs. I am very much afraid that we
shall simply be reduced to the 'patch
work system again, whereas, II the
funds had held out we were in posi-
ton, with our new machinery and ap'
paratus, to have gone ahead steaollS
with the permanent Improvement OF the
streets and roads"
When asked as to a possible remedy
lin the matter, Superintendent McCand'
less said that the only relief would be
for the Legislature to pass an income
tax measure, the tax to be paid by the
first of July.
This suggestion and the one that some
public-spirited capitalist fond Of goot
boulevards might come to the rescue
were the only ones advanced.
