The Maternity Home Thronged With
People.
The fair and luau given on Satur-
day for the benefit OF the Kapiolani
Maternity Home was an unusual
success. From 2 o'clock in the
afternoon to nearly midnight large
crowd Of people we're coming and
going. They enjoyed the luau a la
Hawaiian or the tempting dishes
served at the "foreign" table and
they spent their Imoney 10 lavish
manner at the different booths where
refreshments, curios, fancy work,
flowers, ice cream, etc. etc, we're OBJ
tainable. Queen Liliuokalani presid-
ed in a beautiful decorated booth
where there was a large demand for
ribbons on which she placed her
autograph. The decoration OF the
whole place was beautiful aud the
scene presented a charming night
with the crowds OF merry we'll
dressed ladies, girls and children
among whom mingled the shriners,
officers from the men OF war in port
aud the men from the town. Ber.
gers band was in attendance aud 10
the evening thers was dancing.
The financial SUCCESS was splendid
and it is estimated that the Home
will be the richer by about 5000,
the best result OF any OF the annual
fairs yet given. Great credit 10 due
to the ladies who had the affair in
hand and TO Prince David HAVANA
nskoa, who had devoted much time
aud assisted greatly in scoring the
success, and to Mr.. Ernest Parker
whose exquisite artistic taste was
seen in the decoration OF several OF
the booths and in the prettily
painted candy packages. The
strangers who were present enjoyed
themselves very much, took snap
shots and everything and everybody
and asked innumerable questions.
The following are the names Of
those in charge ofthe brilliant event
Miss Agnes Nc Intyre, Mrs. James
Campbell, Mrs. j. f. Bowler, Miss
Lucy Peabody, Mrs. A. Fernandez,

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The remark of Solicitor General
Richards in his argument in the
Supreme Court in the Hawaiian in-
eular case, that If it were desirable
to do SO, Congress could part with
Hawaii, as it could with the Philip
pines, because neither is a part Of
the Union has spread like wildfire
among the natives, who are seeking
to 40 direct the efforts OF the Ha-
waiian members of the legislature
as will, in their judgment, lead to
the undoing Of annexation aud the
restoration of the independence OF
Hawaii aud the Hawaiian flag"
So says the Argonaut which must
have been misinformed. We don't
think the Hawaiians have paid the
slightest attention to the remarks OF
the Solicitor. General.

Miss Florence Roberts was brilli.

Every Territory and State have
militias, and that it is the wish OF
the government at Washington that
we shall continue our volunteers,
can be seen by the fact that an ap-
preparation there was granted for
the assistance of a militia 10 the
Territory OF Hawaii. We believe in
retrenchment where it can tbe had
without injurious results, but we
believe first aud foremost in the
safety Of our families and ourselves.

Adjoining the Sanitary Steam
Laundry at Kawaishao is a good
sized lot owned by the government
and at present used as dumping
ground for rubbish, not a very
sanitary" method. We suggest to
the authorities to have the lot
cleaned up to be used for the numer.
ous children in the vicinity as a
play ground. The district, in which
the lot is located,is thickly populat.
ed by poor people living in tene-
ment houses, and the streets are the
only place, where the large number
OF children, belonging to these peo-
pie, can get some fresh (7) air and
have a chance to run around as
children ought to do. 1t is not a
sanitary" system to have small
children confined in tenement
house, especially in a country like
this, where the creator intended the
people to live in the balmy air OF
the breezes from the PsGfi'. The
mothers of these children cannot
take them for walk or out to the
Park. The mothers are at work,
sewing, washing, doing the chores
10 families, making swipes, playing
che ia, or and l, all serious occu-
patton, which cannot bs neglected
for the sake Of tho health of the
children. 1t won't cost q great deal
to get the lot in proper shape, and 4
great benefit will be done to the
poor little ones. Let us have the
playground.

THE MILITARY APPROPRIATION

After a careful consideration of
existing conditions we have come TO
the conclusion that it would be un-

the appropriation for the National
Guard of Hawaii,

There have been serious strikes on
Maui, strike OF Porto Ricans has

in every district. Eventually this
dissatisfied element will leave the

mer state, shortly after the war, were
quite similar"
Speaking of the present prosperous
conditions, Mr. Hunt said that during
the last months several alcaldes from
interior towns had called and admitted
that times are better A commission
from Trujil1o Alto (the town which
a year ago. sent 200 half-naked men and
women to San Juan to petition for
work., called here last week. At first
they spoke of hard times. but after a
few minutes conversation they were
forced to admit that conditions are
much improved. Even Federal al
caldes, it is said, when pressed, admit,
though reluctantly. that this is true.
Pessimists are fast turning optimists,
says Judge Hunt. He has been in the
country and has talked with road fore
men, who tell him that the laboring class
is much improved, physically, and is
working much better than year ago.

LETTER FROM GEN. NILES.
He Writes of the Capture of Germaine
Children.

Three weeks ago inquiry was made
of Major A. P. Shreve as to the date OF
the surrender of the Germaine children
by the Indians to General Nelson A.
Miles. Major Shreve wrote to General
Miles and this is his reply:
Major A. p. Shreve. Topeka, Kan:
Dear Sir-I have your letter of the
18th instant, making inquiry as to the
dates on which the Germaine children
were rescued from the Indians. The
two youngest children, Adelaide and
Julia, aged respectively Z and years,
were rescued by the party under Lieu
tenant Baldwin, near Mcclellan creek,
girls were brought in by the Indians
when they surrendered at the agency
early in March, 1875. Yours very truly,
NELSON A. MILES
Major Shreve will turn this letter over
to the Historical society for reference
as to the date of their capture
The history Of these four girls IS quite
interesting. General Miles gave these
girls a part of their education in the
public schools of LeavenWOrth Kan
Mrs. A. p. Shreve attended the same
school and knew the girls we'll Con-
gress appropriated money to take care
of them during their girlhood and Cen
eral Miles was appointed their guardian
The Germaine girls were part OF a
family Of nine. The family lived in
Kansas for one year, in Howard county
In September, 1874. they started with an
OK team to Colorado. They We're met
by Indians on the Smoky Hill river and
ali the family except the four girls We're
murdered The girls were taken py the
Indians and carried into Texas.
General Miles succeeded in getting the
government to set aside $4,000 from the
annuities to be paid to these Indians
and each of the girls who had been heid
captive received $500 of the amount
The military looked after their educa-
ton and helped them along until they
received this money. Since then they
have all been married
Sophia was married to Albert Field
man in 1882 and is now living in Rich
ardson county, Nebraska. Julia was
married in 1888 to Howard Rees, who
died in the fall of 1891. Addie, the
Youngest, was married to Frank An
drews in 1890 and both she and Julia
are living in Nemaha, county.

Acting Governor Hunt Talks of
Conditions in Porto Rico.
Says Actual Conditions Are Bet

FEDERAL OPPOSITION.
They DON'T Want to See Com
mon People Educated.
Believes That Situation VIII
Continue to Improve.


San Juan, Porto Rico, April 3.-W hen
Acting Governor Hunt, the other day,
was asked to express an opinion on the
statements made by BOrda and Ba1baS.
the Porto Rico commissioners in the
United States, his reply implied that
these gentlemen are not representing
conditions here as they actually exist.
why, said Secretary Hunt, since the
American occupation the island has
never been in as good condition as it is
today The customs books last month
and this, show a balance in our favor
The sugar crop is large and we are ex-
porting more than we import All this
opposition comes from the anu-Amer1-
can party Now that the Hollander law
is better understood it is accepted by all
excepting the Federals, who have never
before paid a land tax
ITO use an old expression, with the
advent of the Americans the people mere
expected the millennium and they got
hurricane. I am told that the Porto
Ricans for years have been chemically
pessimistic- They are always grumbllng-
A gentleman now here who visited the
island 20 years ago tells me that, ac-
cording to reports, the island was then
on the verge Of ruin. Later, ten years
ago, everything was going to the dogs
Pessimisn seems epidemic here
A more hard working man than Gov
ernor Allen could not have been selected
He is untiring in his efforts Why, mat
man can get anything he wants at
Washington simply for the asking. HIS
personal magnetism is wonderful. Since
he has been at Washington he has Sc
cured many privileges for Porto Rico,
such as a good roads appropriation,
promise that the tariff Will soon be
lifted, a promise from Secretary Hay
that France would be requested not to
tax Porto Rico coffee, as she threatens
to do, and, he has brought about bet
ter general understanding between the
Federal and Insular administrations
And yet, with all the work he has done
for the island. but one paper, the Pals,
has a good word to say for him.
THE FederalS are only hurting them
selves in creating this opposition. The
Federals consider themselves a sort of
aristocracy. The government is spend
ing thousands of dollars for schools. but
the Federals dislike to see all these
school houses springing up. To them it
means that the common people win be
educated. perhaps to take their places.
This party. it is true, Is made up of the
wealthiest element of the island. They
are in position where they need not
to worry about the education of their
children but they are CALLED to see edu-
cation placed in the way Of the common

complaint bothered me for about
two years. At first / paid little
attention to a slight pain across
the small of my back. but finally
it grew so bad I could scarcely at
tend to my work When stopped
it was with the greatest difficulty
that I could straighten and the
kidney secretions were unnatural,
distressing and annoying, and
also disturbed my rest nights. I
was in pretty bad shape when I
got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills
at Rowley & Shows drug store,
corner Of Sixth street and Kansas
avenue. I noticed a decided re-
lief after the third dose, and on
finishing the treatment the back
ache disappeared and the action
of the kidney secretions was cor
rected.''

Mr.. Joseph Voytek, cabinet
maker, of 21S West Sixth ST., says:
Il had kidney trouble for four or
five years, coming on me gradual
~ and causing me a great deal Of
suffering. Later on a severe at
tack of the grip left my kidneys
in a much weaker state and in the
mornings my back hurt me SO
acutely that I could hardly get
out of bed and felt tired and unre-
freshed. If unthinkingly
stopped or attempted to lift any
thing, sharp twinges of pain
caught me in my back almost
making me exclaim. I procured
Doan's Kidney Pills at Rowley &
Shows drug store and the
promptness with which they act
ed was very pleasant to me. They
took away all the pain and re-
stored me to normal health"
