while standing at the bar an elderly
man, very nicely dressed, and with ev-

Upon receiving a reply in the affirma-

Hawaiian Islands should be Identical and
uniform in all respects with that of the
United States. The silver coins known
as Hawaiian coins should be retired at
their face value and converted into sill
yer coins bearing the impress of the
United States.
The coins for Hawaii which were
struck at the mint of the United States
at San Francisco are identical in fineness
and weight as to denomination with
those of the United States.

SALVATION ARMY'S
HARVEST FESTIVAL
Efforts Will Be Made to Make
1.-The collection a Large
~ ~ q One.

The Salvation Army lassies are once
more going around among the business
men with a smile on their face and a
collecting card in their hand. The Army's
Annual Harvest Festival Effort has again
come round, and these militant Christians
, hope to reap much financial benefit from
it,
The Army has two annual efforts. the
Self-Denial DIN the spring, and Harvest
Festival in the fall. In no way is the
Army's wonderful organization better
shown than in these efforts, which are
put forth simultaneously in every coun-
try where the Blood and Fire banner
flies. The spring effort is essentially
missionary one the whole proceeds going
toward supporting their interchangeable
workers in such countries as Japan, In
dia, Africa Java, South America and
West Indies. where the work cannot be
entirely self-supporting; but the Harvest
Festival, which is the effort now on the
boards. has for it's object the raising of
funds for local purposes. Last year the
total amount raised on the Islands was
$S12.9o. That was the largest Harvest
Festival total so far, but Major Wood is
believing that this years collections will
reach $1,000, If not more. number of
plans for the extension of the work are
under way, and as they will require con-
siderable finances to carry out, he hopes
the total will be a large one.
Honolulu :of course always leads. Last
year its part of the total was $215. 80. but
it is hoped that at least $500 will be rails
ed this year. In previous years it has
been the plan to solicit donations of
goods of all kinds from merchants and
then conduct a sale In the hail. This will
be deviated from this year. Donations in
cash only will be asked for, and a series
OF special Harvest Home Thanksgiving
services will be conducted in the hall
from Thursday to Sunday, October Ord
to 9Th.

is very stern on this point with any
one who obstructs navigation, one sec

reason for doing so in a written state

certainly very hard on Mr.. Scott, the

to leave it, only doing so for fear of

A Watermelon r.a.t.

a short time ago there arrived Mt an
East river pier a small steamer loaded
to gunwales with watermelons and
manned by crew OF negroes. The
men on the neighboring docks watched
with great interest the process of I'm.
loading. for 1t was evident that the
roustabouts would far rather eat the
melons than pile them In wagons. They
broke good many, and others were
not perfect. SO when the last CARLOAD
WAS driven away there was still a
great luscious pile OF fruit. eatable,
but not salabie. The boss Of the Job
mounted barrel. Boys" he said,
you've worried hard. and you Amt et
too many melons. Invite your friends
tonight. and you on have oil that's
left" Not many speeches get the en-
thusiastic cheers that that did.
The watermelon party that night was
attended by hsadred OF more able
bodied "coons." and after the refresh
ments had disappeared there were sing
Ing and dancing and banjo playing
most OF the night. Nothing as much
like plantation days before the war;
