him. At the same time, he has lost

There were but four soldiers in the
Southern Army who fought with the same

ST. CLEMENTS
SUNDAY SCHOOL

St Clements chapel is prospecting
these days and already needs the
means of expansion Ior it's Sunday
school. There is not room enough in
the chapel to accommodate the chill
dren, the numbers of whom are all the
time increasing. SO it is necessary to
devise ways and means for a Sunday
school room and to this end a meeting
has been called at the rectory, corner
of Makiki street and Wilder avenue
for Thursday evening. This meeting
was announced yesterday for Tuesday,
but has been postponed.
All persons interested in St Clements
and its good work are invited to be
present.

FOR A BIG
FIELD DAY
An Initiative From
Boys Brigade
Committee.

AS result of a meeting of the ath-
letic committee of the Boys Brigade,
held last night at the residence of
Theodore Richards. all the athletic or
CARNATIONS of Honolulu will be asked
to join in a general athletic meet to
be decided on later. The invitations to
the school athletic organizations and
to the town organizations will be sent
out today, in which the request is
made that each organization appoint a
delegate to attend general confer
ence, when the date of the meet will
be decided upon, as we'll as the pro-
gram of events.
The committee which met last night
and planned to issue the call to all
organizations. consisted of w. w. Har-
ris, the well known Myrtle Boat Club
man; C. Traeey, NJ A. Cheek and z.
B. Clark. The Boys Brigade standing
among all the athletic organization
as a sort of impartial intermediary, it
is believed that the result of the pro-
posed call will be entirely successful.
The idea is to have a big field day
In which all the school and town ath-
letic organizations shall participate.
The proposition is one to raise money
IOT a large dlnleIlC Helu the
| center of the city, and within easy
reach of every one. The Bishop Estate
! has decided five acres to the Boys
Brigade movement for this purpose, the
| land lying just off Vineyard street, on
| the Waikiki side of Nuuanu stream.
This field, of course, would be for the
benefit of all these athletic organiza-
| tions, and it is proposed to lay it out
with cinder track, baseball and foot
ball grounds, tennis courts and in fact,
everything necessary to make it
first class athletic field.
The committee has practically decid-
ed to propose at the conference about
fourteen standard athletic events gem
orally adopted for big meets elsewhere
There will no doubt be many features
added to make the program complete
in all respects. AT present the grounds
are not available for use, as they are
ungraded. With money, proceeds from
the meet, the field can be raised to
la proper grade and made availab BILE for
athletic work.
The Boys Brigade committee has
been encouraged by representative bus
mess men, by the offer of medals for
the different events 1t is expected
these medals will be of a handsome
pattern and quality, for the reason that
the best class of business men have
announced their entire Willingness to
give them.
The committee feels satisfied in max
ing the statement that the medals will
be worth the effort of any athlete TAX
ing part in the big event
1t is thought that the coming con-
ference may result in the formation of
an athletic association to look after
athletic matters generally in the same
way as the rowing association attends
to matters aquatic.

of fourth-class postmasters located
near presidential postcfices of having
mail originating within the limits of
the latter deposited in the fourth-cl
Office, through an implied agreement,
the fourth class postmasters getting
the benefit therefrom when the depart
ment comes to make Redistribution
Of salaries. The compensation of
fourth class postmasters is based on
cancellation. while that of presidential
postmasters is based .on receipts. The
attention of Postmaster General Payne
has been directed to several cases re-
Gently where mail originating within
the limits of presidential posuoffice
has been deposited at fourth class
postofice.
AS the stamps are purchased at the
presidential posto6ice the government
pays compensation twice on this class
of business, to the presidential post
master for sales of stamps and to the
fourth class postmaster on mis- cancel
lation. Isolated cases of this kind
have been known heretofore, but only
within the past few months has the
practice become of sufficient serious
ness to attract the attention of the
law officers of the department.
1t is a violation of the postal laws
for postmaster to solicit business. In
the case under consideration it has
not been proven that postmasters so
violated the law, but it is taken for
granted that there is an ulterior mo-
tive where mail is deposited outside
of the limits of the Office in which it
originates. This abuse is therefore
held to be a violation of the spirit of
the law.
Announcement is made that dis
missals will follow in every case
where postmasters are apprehended in
countenancing this practice.

RISE OF THE NEGRO.

Down in Georgia the Negro Young
Peoples Christian and Educational
Congress has just concluded very in
teresting and instructive session.
Prior to the adjournment a set OF reso-
lutions was adopted, one of which
reads as follows:
In spite of theorists and their theo-
ries, both before and after emancipa-
tion we have shown ourselves able to
live and thrive. A generation ago we
came out of bondage without a foot of
land, without a home, without a
name. Even the clothes which cover
ed our poorly clad bodies were not
ours. Today we have some land, some
homes, some money. Yesterday we
had nothiug; today we own millions
of acres of land, pay taxes on property
worth millions Of dollars, and raise
more cotton under freedom than under
slavery.
1t must be admitted that the pro-
gress of the negro race has been re.
markable under all the circumstances
and all fair-minded people will b.
quick to give them credit for wha
they have accomplished.
The negro asks to be judged by hi
best and not by the lower standards
The race has demonstrated that it Cal
learn, that it can produce wealth, tina
many of their class have become intel
lectual beyond the prophecy of wis,
men of many years ago. The leader
of the race recognize the dignity O
honest labor and ask their fellow
to engage in it.

GOOD ROADS.

Not a little interest is manifested
in the good roads convention that il
to be held in the auditorium at the
fair grounds Monday, Sept. g. All
told. about 10, 900 Invitations have been
issued for this congress and the at
tendance will no doubt be very large.
Col. r. W. Richardson and James W.
Abbott of the good roads division of
the department of agriculture will be
present and the good roads train with
all its paraphernslia will give prac-
tical demonstration Of what can be
accomplished in the way of improv-
ing highways when the proper meth
DDS are pursued. 1t is expected that
at the fair grounds about five-eights
of a mile of roadway will be con-
structed, graded and the proper sur
facing laid.
The subject of good roads certainly
should demand the attention of county
commissioners and those who have
the building of highways in their
charge. God speed the day when the
laws relating to road building and
repairing in Minnesota shall be
changed so as to allow the work to be
performed under the supervision of
the country surveyor. The working
out of the poll tax under the guidance
of the town pathmaster is wrong in
theory and practice and the system
should be abolished. Most of this
road repairing is done in the spring
and many of the highways present. a
sorry sight after the poll-tax has been
worked out. 1t would have been bet
er had the pathmaster and those who
ripped and tore the earth assunder,
remained away and let we'll enough
alone.
Legislators fear to NEEDLE with the
present laws for fear their country
constituents will not like their attitude
and set out to defeat them in case
they seek reelection.
Good roads increase the value of the
farm. They are saving of horse.
flesh and boon to mankind. There
is no reason why country roads should
not be in frst-class condition at al
times. They could be if the proper
methods were pursued.
