BOARD OF
EDUCATION
Book Contract Talked
Of Yesterday.
ATTACK ON THE TRUST
Certificates To Be Issued To Teach
ers Receiving Highest
Percentage.

The Board of Education held an in
teresting session Yesterday afternoon
at which the question of books and the
book trust were the main questions at
issue. Mr.. Hodgson, representative of
the book concern of D. c.. Heath &
Company, appeared before the meeting
and submitted a typewriter PROPOSE
ton to supply school books for the
supply school books of every class and
description in use in public school sys-
TENS and to grant the usual discounts
f. o. b. San Francisco or place of ship
ment to the Islands.
The Board was represented by Super
intendent Atkinson, Professor Alexan-
der, H. M. Won Holt, E. A. Mott-Smith,
Mrs w. w. Hall and Mrs. T.. w. Jor-
dan. Inspector General Gibson and
Secretary Rodgers were also present.
A few minor matters of routine bust
ness occupied the early attention of the
Board. The report of tie. Committee
on Examinations was submitted and
acted upon. The Board voted that Ger
tificateS be issued to those receiving the
highest percentages in accordance with
the report. There was a shifting about
of teachers through designations, mar
riages and other means by which it was
necessary to fill the vacancies so
caused.
Mr.. Hodgson was given the privilege
of making the proposition of his house
and explained it to THO Board. He ex-
hibited a number of books and discuss
ed their superiority. Mr.. Mott-Smith
spoke in favor of the department of ed
ucation submitting to the endorsement
of the Attorney General and agreeing
that the department should supply
books as the Board is doing at present.
Smiths proposition and a member said
it would be time to cross the bridge
when the Board came to it.
In the opinion of one of the members
there seems no Likelihood of the Board
making a wholesale book contract. Mr..
Gum, representing the book trust,
made an offer two months ago to es-
tablish an agency here. The matter
was submitted to the Attorney General
and he took the ground that the de-
partment should purchase Its own sup
ply of school books, and the matter was
promptly dropped. The contract of the
American Book Company expires next
month. It is stated that the Legisla-
ture may pass law requiring that the
ture may pass a law requiring the
whole matter of the supply of school
books should go outside of the depart
ment of education.

MAKE GOOD REPORT.
Board of Health Effect Big Saw
ing In Expense.


The report of the Massachusetts
State Board of Health for 1899. has
been addAd to the Hawaiian Supreme
Court library. Exhaustive reports of
the boards work are set forth. In
the food and drug inspection, the total
number of samples examined during
the year ending September 80, 1899,
was $500, and the total number exam
ined since the beginning of the work
in 1883, was 107,S92.
The expense of the collection and
analysis has been reduced from 81 26
per sample In 1889, to $1.15 in 1899. The
number of prosecutions of offenders in
1899 was At, of which number As re-

BISHOP WILLIS ON
THE LIVE QUESTION

Editor Administrations paper this
morning contains an anonymous letter,
purporting to be an answer to an arti-
Gle in the Diocesan Magazine. AS the
great majority of your readers have
not seen that article, may I ask you
to give them the opportunity of pc
rusing it in your columns, that they
may the better appreciate the attack
now made upon it. For this purpose
/ enclose copy of the said article
which 1 may observe is a criticism OF
the memorandum of the S. P. c., which
has already been published In your col
umns.
| have only one or two remarks to
make:
i. By fearing to come out into the
open and firing from behind the rock
of nom de plume, the writer makes
1t evident that he has not the courage
of his opinions.
2. The principal question he asks,
viz, whether this diocese is an indie
pendent See or merely an ordinary
diocese, is absolutely meaningless The
distinction is unknown in ecclesiastical
polity. In church calendars the dis
tinction is between provincial and
independent" This diocese not being
in a province has always been classed
in the Independent group.
8. The ignorance thus displayed of
first principles, is further exhibited in
the abortive attempt to make it appear
that the Bishop of Honolulu's jurisdic-
ton is limited in way no other biSh-
op jurisdiction IS, or ever was limited.
The crown of England in giving per-
mission to the Archbishop of Canter-
bury to consecrate a bishop for a
country outside the British empire, can
only take cognizance of British sub
jects residing in such country But
were 1t the case, as the writer sup
poses. that Episcopal jurisdiction con-
ferred by conservation is subject to this
limitation, the purpose for which the
permission was given would be defeat
ed.
4. AS voluntary association the
Anglican church in Hawaii is in ex-
actly the same position as every other
diocese of the Anglican communion in
the United States and the Colonies
D. While the writer appears at the
outset to be presenting a sincere dis
QUESTION on the subject the personali-
ties In which he, later on, INDUCES,
plainly reveal very different spirit.
Arrows are shot from behind his cover
IN the form of statements for the truth
of which he cannot produce any little
OF evidence. That he finds it necessary
to resort to this mode of attack is a
convincing proof that he finds the DO
sltion taken in my article to be in
capable of direct assault.

THE OLD MAN ACCOUNTED FOR.


Bishop Thompson of Mississippi said
the other day: Il suppose there is a
larger percentage of old men in Mis-
sissippi than in any other state-at
least, it seems so to me, and 1 have
been in a good many. BY old 1 mean
from so to 80. They are not decrepit
old men who hug the fireside, but are
quite lively old fellows. One Of them,
whom knew, man of SO, recently got
little too lively. He went out after
dark without a lantern, fell into
ditch and was broken up just as If he
were china. / forget how many bones
were broken How do you account,

men in Mississippi" asked some one.

ENTERTAINING A MONKEY.
The Simian Roysterer Got Tipsy and
Proved an Expensive Guest to
n Party of Nerrymnkcrs.

A party of Parisians who had been
lucky at Longchamp agreed to cele-
brate their good fortune with little
banquet. They were very merry, and,
coming across a monkey on their way
to the eating house, they entered into
negotiations with its owner with the
result that it was soon trotting along
by their side. A halt was then made
at a cafe for the purpose of indulging
in appetizers and their new friend
was treated to a drink, too, which was
the unfortunate cause of the COM
plications which followed. Hardly had
the jovial party reached the res
taurant when the monkey began to be-
tray symptoms of tremendous ella
tion. 1t became so lively that cord
had to be borrowed to attach it to
leg of the table, as it was diverting
itself with series of leaps and bounds
OF very risky character.
As i'll luck would have it., when the
young men were in the middle of their
repast the cord snapped and the mon

has been deprived of its fangs and the
other is fiction, But Gabe Crandall, a
violinist, of Deep Hollow, Pa, tried the
art upon two rattlers with such sue
cess that he escaped without being
bitten.
He was walking along narrow road
out on the mountainside on his way to
Halstead, where he was engaged to
furnish music for a dance. When he
reached a point in the road where it
winds around a sharp spur and is mar
row, he heard the warning noise of a
rattlesnake, and, looking up, saw
big reptile directly in his path.
1T occurred to him that he had read
somewhere ofpersons charming snakes
with music. Drawing his violin from
its box, began to play. As the
low notes of the violin were played the
big snakes gradually uncoied, as IL
they were coaXed by the music, and,
stretching themselves out, glided to-
ward the fiddler. Closer came
the snakes, and faster Went the bow.
When within two feet of the terrified
musician the snakes halted, and, wind
ing themselves up, lifted their heads
close together.
Then Gabe's nerves gave way. He
grabbed the neck of his fiddle and
brought it down with crushing force
on the heads of the snakes. The blow
stunned them, and Gabe soon dis
patched them with stones. The y;o-
lin was destroyed.

dinner service was reduced to a com
plete wreck. Broken plates, glasses
and bottles strewed the erewhile con-
vivial board, any amount of other mis-

After discussion which lasted fully
an hour it was finally agreed that the
sum demanded by the proprietor of
the restaurant should be paid to him,
and so Mortified were his customers at
the responsibility which they had in

had been so dangerously elated by that
fatal drop of absinthe, that they pre-
sented it to him as well.
