Ladies' BaZar.

The Bazar and Annual Sale, by the Ladies' League of the Congregational Church of this city, may be noted to have been more than usually success ful, in spite of the fact that one of the most severe wind storms that has visit ed this part of Alaska for many years prevailed on Wednesday and Thursday of last week. the days set apart for that event. Notwithstanding the storm and the cold, the attendance on both days was fair, but, in order to give all chance to attend, the booths and deco rations were left in place until yester- day (Tuesday) evening, and on that oc- casion a large crowd of people, who had been penned up in their homes for days, took advantage of the opportunity to get out.
 The booths, which were tastily deco rated with colored tissue and tinsel, were presided over as follows:
 The Ladies League Booth, where was displayed the product of the labors of that organization, consisting of em- broideries, aprons, dresser scarfs. pillow slips, laundry bags, sofa cushions, and dozens of other things, was in charge of Mrs. Frank Bach and Mrs. Walter Gould.
 The Fish Pond, where for 10 cents a disciple of Walton could be sure of successful angle, was in charge of Miss Pearl Mackie.
 The Childrens Booth, exhibiting fancy work of all kinds, made by members of the Junior League, was watched over by the Misses Hazel Willis and Blanche Day.
 The Book and Art Booth, showing fancy books, calendars, Alaska views, baskets, slippers, &c., &c., was in charge of Mrs. Dan Veasie.
 The Candy Booth, where was dis pensed sweetness of many kinds, was guarded by the Misses Fannie Penglase and Leola Warren.
 The Ice Cream Booth, where that frig- id luxury was kept in seeming defiance of the clements, was in the care of Mrs. w. A. Mackie.
 The Japanese Tea Booth, established for no other purpose than to dispense tea and waters, was made an attraction by the present of little china cup and saucer to each patron. Miss Lizzie Nc. Kama presided with becoming grace.
 In the center of the room stood "Re- bekah at the We'll" A bright faced im- personator of the dusky Hebrew maid en, furnished lemonade to the thirsty. Miss Edna Carpenter presided.
 Lunch was served by the League la- dies.
 The gross proceeds of the Bazar amounted to s250.Oo, which is a slight encouragement to the ladies who have toiled so long and faithfully for this or,apf

 We have called attention repeatedly to the waste of water, especially during cold, windy weather. Saturday evening the supply tank, which holds 25,ooo gal Ions, was empty. A part of the pipe line was cut off, and by Sunday at Il o'clock the tank was full and running over. There is plenty of water at al times for actual use, but parties whc will persist in running water to waste at such times, are endangering th' safety of the whole town. Self protec tion is the first law of nature, and it i
 better that few service pipes shoulc freeze up, and few people should b
 without water than that the whol town should burn, because of the wan of water.

SENATOR
NEWS TO WASHINGTON

News of the victory of the Republi-
cans went forward yesterday in the
Alameda. National Committeeman Par
ker sent letters to National Chairman
Hanna, telling him of the success of the
fight for the party of prosperity and
then followed this with letter to
Chairman Babcock of the Congressional
Campaign Committee The latter is as
follows:
1T gives me the greatest pleasure
to inform you that Prince Jonah Kuhio
kalanianaole was yesterday elected by
the people of this Territory to represent
it as delegate in the 5Sth Congress of
the United States. While at this writ
ing reports are complete alone on two
of the islands of the group, there are
partial returns from one other, all of
which so to indicate that his majority
will be between 1900 and 1000 over r.
w. Wilcox, the incumbent, who ran on
combined Home Rule and Democratic
ticket
The victory of the Republicans is
indeed most gratifying under the cir
cumstances The election of Wilcox
two years ago was by plurality of
26I, but the combined Home Rule and
Democratic votes should have given
him normal majority over our candi-
Gate of three times that number Close
and consistent attention to organiza-
ton and campaign along traditional
American lines won for us ,His fight
The campaign was opened with an adj
dress by the Honorable John M Thurs
ton in which he urged the people of this
Territory to get in line with the party
OF progress in the nation and that has
been the key note of every speech from
our platform.
Prince Kuhio is a young Hawaiian
who will reflect the greatest credit up
on his people, and 1 am sure prove a
valuable addition to the force of Repub-
licaniSm."

HENRY VIDA LEADS FIFTH
DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVES
His Vote Runs Only Three Be-
hind That Of Prince
Kuhio.

With the official returns there has
come a cutting down of the number OF
Representatives from this island for the
Republicans indicated by the first fig
ures. While on Tuesday evening it was
thought there had been chosen three
Republicans in the Fifth district, the
official figures yesterday showed that
there was only one man who had Sc
cured the requisite vote. This is Henry
Vida who led the polling in that dis
trict He ran well all over the district
and his vote is only three behind that
of the Prince. He led the highest Home
Ruler by ia votes and his record has
been an exceptional one.
The next Republican. to the lowest
Home Ruler is Kaulukou. who is beaten
for election by only twenty-four votes,
and the next Republican is James Shaw
who was fifty-nine behind Kou, the low
est Home Ruler.

CONFIDENCE RESTORED

Despite the fact that it was after
midnight before the eager crowds left
the street in front of the Advertiser
office, where the returns were posted
on Tuesday evening, there was a smil-
ing lot of men down town yesterday,
as the business people considered the
general situation. The success of the
party had been discounted somewhat in
past month having their origin in the
faith of the brokers and investors in
the success of the ticket, but there was
"a smile everywhere.
To the men of business there was no
single thing that could have happened
that would have been so pleasing, un-
less it had come in the shape of a rise
had to be material The investors and
men of affairs looked about them and
found many reasons for their thankful
ness and they made their praise of the
party and it's candidates resound. The
situation put into a nutshell was voiced
by P. c. Jones, whose connection with
LII V"CA " COMPANY SANCS iiliii q lodNiA
upon the pulse of the city. Mr.. Jones
said that he considered the result of
the election worth millions to this
country in the future. AS for himself
he said any possible anxiety was now
over and he looked ahead to. years of
prosperity. He said that he had in
structefl his architect to go on and pre-
pare plans for a new residence on Pa
cific Heights, where he has long had
a lot, but which he has never improved
as he was not satisfied with the outlook
under prospective Home Rule govern
ment.
The many brokers spread the news
on the mainland, sending their usual
letters to their San Francisco CORE
spondents, but with the addition that
they considered it absolutely certain
that there would be an early restoration
of confidence in ali things Hawaiian,
owing to the fact that there would be
never in the future any uncertainty as
to the stand of the legislature affecting
values and security of investments.
Talks with such men as B. f. Dilling-
ham, Cecil Brown, A. B. Wood F. A
Schaefer, Mr. Klamp, Mr.. Wight Mr..
Giffard, Mr.. McCandless, Mr. Robertson,
Mr.. Cooke and others interested in the
business of the islands, disclosed that
they hold to the same view, that with
the restoration of belief in the stability
of the government there will be restor-
ed confidence which viii be but the
forerunner of better times. While there
is not of course more money in the com
munity in itself there will be an un-
loosing of the purse strings of those
who hold the cash. and they will put
their coin into circulation.
Col. w. H. Cornwell said that on the
whole he was convinced that the result
would make for the better business con-
dition of the Territory. He said that
with the turning over of the govern
ment into the hands of the party which
has in its ranks the principal men of
substance and affairs of the Territory
there must come a period of good feel
ing and of belief in the stability in the
and as a direct result the
Territory would flourish

COMMITTEES Of Republicans to
Form Plans for Expedising
Work of Legislature.

When the Republican Territorial COM
mittee meets this morning for the con-
sideration of the affairs of the party,
now that the election has gone, it will
be also to form plans looking TO the
making. good of all the party pledges.
There will be taken up the matter of a
celebration, and it is probable that
some plan will be formulated for an
early ratification of the work of the
people at the polls.
1t is probable that the committee
will hold its rooms open until the close
of the legislature, and that they will
thus become the meeting place of the
commission which has under considera-
ton the framing of the county and city
measures, and as well of all commit
tees which may be appointed to take up
work preliminary to the meeting of the
legislature. The rooms will be made
the headquarters of the members of the
Legislature and will thus serve as eau
Gus room, and the public will find there
center of Information.
Steps were taken yesterday to secure
competent advice and opinion as to
what the people think the next legisla-
ture should do. The matters of legal
procedure and court reforms will be re-
ferred to the Bar Association and es
we'll to representative lawyers outside
this city There will be opinions asked
from the leading business and labor
n=en- End altogether there will be gath
cred a mass of information which may
be digested and got into shape for the
use of the members. 1t is expected in
this way that the bills which are most
vital to the Territory will be ready for
introduction and action as soon as the
session convenes; and the work of the
legislature will be expedited thereby.
The committee will also pass upon the
bills which may be unpaid. 1t is not
believed there are many of these and
consequently there will be nothing left
over as has been the experience of for
mer committees. The cost of the cam
paign can now be practically figured.
Leaving out the other islands which
have had assistance to the extent of
some $4,000 from this city, the cam
tire cost $4,000. Two years ago there
was spent more than three times that
amount, and the work was never done
with the spontaneity that character
ized it this time.
The organization during the cam
paign just closed has been a revela ation
to the workers of former times, and
Treasurer Carter said yesterday that it
was surprising to some that the work
could be done as it had been without
the keeping up of a staff of highly paid
men. He said the work had been done,
and well done too, by volunteers large
ly, and they had gone into the cam
paign with a hearty interest in the vic
tory of the party, which meant success
from the first.
There are under consideration plans
for the Inauguration in the rooms of
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1902-11-06
Portuguese Celebration.

The Portuguese citizens will make
merry this evening over the success of
the Republican ticket. The plan is to
have great meeting at Punchbowl
and Luso streets, preceded by a torch
light procession. There will be
speeches by Frank Andrade, member
of the legislature elect, and by many
leaders of the colony. Special features
will make the meeting and parade a
notable event.

shown by the fact that he received only
72S votes. and by a curious coincidence
this is just twice that of Mossman, who
refused to run with him on the ticket.
Frank Harvey ran ahead of the Chinese
representative, and the three named
are the only ones whose total of votes
does not enter the thousand limit.

Not quite What She Meant.

The pitfalls which the English Ian
guage offers to the foreigner are many.
A Frenchwoman who has undertaken
housekeeping in New York thought she
had a good working knowledge of the
language, says Short Stories, but she
soon discovered her mistake.
One day last summer she called a
carpenter and planned with him to
have some work done about the house
in the way of putting up shelves, cas-
ing some doors and improving the
place in other small ways. She went
over the ground with him as carefully
as possible to get from him an esti-
mate of what the work would cost.
After it was done the bill submitted
was considerably in excess Of the sum
first named. The woman endeavored to
demonstrate, but succeeded only in put
pting her French thought into the fol-
lowing English: "But you are more
dear to me than when we were first
engaged"
