try today Unworthy preachers,
priests and professors have done the
cause of Christ more harm than all
the gamblers and saloOnkeepers in the
land. | pray God for a pure ministr.
For preachers who love God and their
fellowman and will in life and speech
make it manifest. Only consecrated
men like Hezekiah are effectual in
calling men to reformation and such
will never fail, for God has promised
to be with them and that to bless.
The sermon was certainly very fine,

OF bright little folk, among them
Dorthy, the 4-year-old daughter Of an
uptown druggist.
The teacher had the little folk
name over the different parts of the
body, the heart, lungs and trunk,
but it was with some difficulty that
she could get any of the children to
name the stomach. The little folk
understood what the trunk was, and
then the teacher wanted to know what
the trunk contained, as it was i'm
portant to the lecture that she give
points regarding the care of the stom-
ach. Persistent inquiries failed to ar.
rive at the naming of the important
organ, and it looked like a lecture
failure when teacher again anxious
ly inquired:
What is in the trunk"
Up went little Dorthy's hand, and
swapping her thumb and finger she
called out:
II know. teacher, know"
"Well, what is it,"
Oatmeal said Dorthy, and the
lecture went over.

conclusion. that Craig be returned to

Alderman Fox did not think it
wise to spend the city's money en-
gage in detective work. but he sus-
gested that the city had learned
lesson and should be wiser in the flu
ture He then asked, not as re

stated that the committee believed
that Craig's shortage was between

he was that short, and would not
sign the report OF the committee.

man Wells remarks, but he stood pat
on his original statement

Towards the end of the council
meeting, when practically all the busi-

posed Of, Mayor Bell addressed the
council, bringing up the city treasuc
ership matter. He reviewed his ref
erence to the proposal Of making a
change in the manner of conducting
the city treasurer's Office. made in his
last message to the council His idea
was to place the city treasurer on a
nominal salary and to create by law a
new o1fice-that of city collector. He
reviewed his reasons for making that
recommendation. stating that the col
lection of the privilege revenues OF
the city had been neglected to such
an extent that at one time under a
former administration that compared
with that of still prior administra
tion there was a difference in favor
of the latter administration Of abou!
$4,000. On account of the neglect OF
the city treasurer's Office in recent
years he placed the collection of some
of the privilege licenses in the hands

city might have all that was coming

Honolulu Capitalist Talks OF Con-
ditions at San Francisco.
Here for Short Stay.

Mr.. s. T. Alexander of the firm OF
Alexander & Baldwin, was one of the
returning passengers on the Alameda
yesterday. His stay in Honolulu will,
however, be quite brief, as he expects
to return to San Francisco on the AL
ameda next Wednesday. One of the
objects of his return is the completion
of some plan by which the new road to
Tantalus may be built, and he will also
attend a meeting of the firm of which
he is the head.
IT shall probably visit the Public
Works Department tomorrow in con-
nection with the construction of the
road to Sugar Loaf" said Mr.. Alexan-
der last evening. THAT road has al
ways been a pet project of mine, and 1
hope by some means or other to get it
through. The bids were considerably
higher than I anticipated when offer
ed s15. 600, or than 1 was led to expect
after estimates had been made for me.
1 think, though, that the grade of eight
to ten feet is too steep and the five
foot grade will be much better. Prob
ably the cost could be Iessened some
what by making a narrower road, say
fifteen instead of twenty feet wide.
Nothing definite of course will be done
until after my interview with the De-
partment, and I am sorry to hear that
Engineer Marston Campbell is not in
the city The road will be put through
some way. of that I am convinced,
and some plan may be devised at our
conference"

HAWAIIAN SECURITIES.

1.-The cutting off of dividends and the
waiian securities a black eye in San
Francisco, and it was rather discour-
aging to be met everywhere with the
cry. What's the matter with HAWAII!
I tell them the true situation here-we
are in a transition state; labor is I'M
settled; we have lost our contract sys-
tenn, and the new laborers are not as
efficient; the prices of everything are
higher; equipment is more expensive
and the inflated values were rather the
result of the boom of San Francisco
brokers than due to any fault of our
own. A good many people lost heav-
lily by the fall in sugar values there,
and felt pretty sore over it. Some of
the stocks on the san Francisco mar
ket are affected the same way, how
ever; for instance, the bottom has
dropped out of gas.
Values here are at bed rock now
and dividends will begin again soon
There is a better feeling alreaoy there.
MakaweIi remains firm, the payment of
dividends helping that stock
mo there is nothing in the report Of
a bond issue for Maxwell plantation
There is to be no meeting to consider
