the drinker, at least for the sake Of
saving the moral character of the body

II have been observing your people
here with great deal of care and it
seems to me that you have compare
lively little drunkenness, and should
say very little drinking among the bet
ter class of men, and I think. that there
is not so much to fear here from the
determined persistence of the drinkers
of your population as you have from
the slovenly Christianity and yielding
virtue of the dominant whites.
'I agree that you could not hope to
enforce perfectly nor very hopefully at
, first prohfbitory laws in Honolulu. But
believe that educationally it would
be very valuable to the rising genera
j ton, and somewhat also to the adult
population, for the government to hold
| itself too good to be in partnership with
the saloon, and IL enforcement were pa
! tient. honest and persistent that it
would tell for righteousness from the
start and in the long run be as effect
i've as the administration of other laws
of the same kind; larceny has not been
stopped by the law but 1t has been, df-
minished and is being diminished from
generation to generation, and besides
the statute Is an everlasting education

old salts say has not been seen within
their memory. The shock, as felt on
shore, was very slight and was noted
by comparatively few people who hap
pened to be awake at that early hour.
The ocean upheaval was as if the
bottom had been shaken by some huge
Submarine disturbance. No unusual
wave was observed along the beach,
but at that hour there were few peo-
pie abroad and heavy seas might have
come in unnoticed. Those who went
out in launches fishing this morning
found disturbed conditions about five
miles from shore. Over an area of
many miles the sea was turbid, as if
the bottom had been stirred up by some
volcanic force. Muddy water lay in
patches and contained great quantities
of loosened seaweed.
Launches crossing the zone Of dis
turbance, as marked by the ruffled con-
dition of the ocean, would go through
perhaps half mile of water yellow
with dirt, and then there would be a
quarter of a mile or 50 of clear sea-
The turbid condition of the ocean gave
the surface yellowish cast which
could be plainly observed from shore
The discoloration gave the sea a mot
tied appearance.
EARTHQUAKE VICTIM.
OAKLAND. July S-Refuge Soule,
the I6-year-old girl who was taken to
the detention hospital yesterday charg-
ed with insanity, was today examined
as to her mental condition by Drs San
born and Ever. After a thorough in
quiry into the case the physicians con-
sidered that 1t would be best to have
the girl committed to an asylum fo1
the insane.
1t was developed during the exami-
nation that the girl, who is native
of Mexico, had been struck on the head
by falling plaster during an earthquake
some time ago. 1t is thought that this
blow on the head may have brought
on the insanity which developed about
T one week ago. The cousin of the pa
tient testified that she had tried or
several occasions to jump from the
windows of the house and that she was
inclined to be very melancholy. She
was committed to Stockton Asylum.

In the Senate the reading of this mes

there was a. demand for report from

Senator Kalauokalani then asked TO
make a verbal report and he told the
House that the committee had agreed

and this consumed nearly an hour.
There was no discussion, however, and
the bills were put through soon a1ter

Georgia Mlnstrels.

The famous Georgia minstrels attracted a big audience to the Jefferson Theatre last night. Whites as well as blacks came to see and hear musicians, comedians, jugglers, ventriloquests and contortion- ists who are not burnt cork artists, and yet are rarely excelled by those who manufacture their stage complications. The parouette was filled with white peo- pie, and they were as much delighted with the entertainment as were the gall leries which were filled to overfiowing with black people.
 Clarence Powell and Billy Kersands are unmistakable comedians, and it is difficult to say which is the better. Every look and action of Kersands is comedy, and he Is as black as the ace of spades. These two comedians are the spice and cheer of the entertainment, coming in between the music, much of which was excellent These professionals are not at all crude, nor are their jokes ancient The customary minstrel programme was presented, and the variety of it was sur prising, and not a number was of an ann ateur nature. There are many minstrels on the road who are not equal to these genuine daIkeys, and 1t is doubtful in- deed if the minstrel stage holds today a comedian who outranks either Billy Ker- sands or Clarence Powell.

The information prepared by Secretary Gibson of the Commercial Club regarding the desirability of Birmingham as site for an army post has been forwarded to the War Department by G. H. Estes, chairman of the committee from the Board of Trade and the Commercial Club. This was done in accordance with re- quest by the Secretary of War.
 The information covers all the import ant facts regarding Birmingham as a railroad and industrial center, its cli- mate, it's citizenship and other interest ing questions which would probably be asked by the board considering it's desir- ability.

She has recently returned from Atlanta, where she addressed meeting held ir the interest Of the child labo- bill now pending before the Georgia Leg .isistura.

man of the committee, presided, and among the able speakers were Bishop Nelson, Bishop Candler. MT. Hoke Smith. Dr. W. w. Landrum and others.
 In speaking of the efforts directed by the mill owners of Georgia against the passage of the bill, Mrs MacFadyen said that they sent letters to every legislator pointing out that the movement against child labor was championed by senti- mental women and labor agitators.
 Mrs. MacFadyen dwelt upon the splen. did work accomplished by the central committees of both Alabama and Geor- gia, and pointed out that the bill in both states wss endorsed by the most infiuen- tial men. The Alabama committee is composed of the Rev. Edgar Gardner Murphy. Judge Thomas G. Jones' MT. Gordon Mcdonald, MT. L. V. LaTaste of Montgomery, Dr. J. H. Philips of Birm- ingham. MT. A. J. Reilly of Pratt City, and Mir. John Croft of Motile.

MEMORY FOOD. A Case Where Memory Was Strength ened by Grape-Nuts.

Food that will actually help the mem- ory as well as agree perfectly with Q delicate stomach is worth knowing of.
 A good wife out in Alta, Ia-, who did not know which way to turn to get food that would agree with her husband who was left in weakened condition after a serious illness and could scracely retain any food in his stomach. was one day induced to try him on Grape-Nuts, the famous ready-cooked breakfast food, and from the first he began to improve rapidly. In three months he had gained 30 pounds.
 She says that his stomach has recov- cred so completely that he can now eat any kind of food.
 She meantions the boy of an intimate acquaintance who was so delicate and thin that his appearance was pitiable and he had no appetite for any ordinary food. He was put on Grape-Nuts and liked the crispness and swedish taste of the new food and took to 1t His inn provement began at once and he is now a healthy plump boy.
 q know that Grape-Nuts will do more for weak stomachs than any medicine The claim that it will build up and strengthen the brain has been proven to my certain knowledge. Sister, who writes for the press, and is compelled to memorize a great deal, has been using Grape-Nuts and says she is surprised at the result There is a marked improve ment in her memory and the brain works more perfectly and with better results.
