PARTY WAR AT HAWAII.
Territorial Convention Ends in Split
and Bolt.


Honolulu, July 23.-The territorial
convention of the home rule republl-
can party ended in a split and boilers
under Prince Cupid organized a new
party. The regulars nominated Robert
G. Wilcox for congress. The boilers
may name Cupid. Republican papers
predict Wilcox's defeat in the cleo
tons. The commercial Pacific Cable
company has purchased a site for
the landing place for it's cable and has
already begun improving the property

WaukeShd ...... ...............I
On the second ballot Milwaukee re-
ceived 10 votes, Madison 8 and Wau-
kesha l. The choice was made on the
third ballot, in which Milwaukee re-
ceived u votes and Madison 8.
In view of the fact that the Rose
domination was so strong, the wonder
is that Madison received so many
votes. Besides the pull exerted by
Bruce, the two fourth district members
are warm Rose men and they worked
hard with the other members to do the
bidding of their boss. VincenZ j.
Schoene ecker, Jr., and Ignatz Czerwin
ski, the fourth district members, are
members, of the board of public works
of Milwaukee, appointees of Rose and
holding their salaried jobs through his
favor. The convention will probably
be held in the Davidson theater.
When it came to fixing on a date, the
Rose people were thrown down nard.
w. H. Rogers offered a motion that it
be Sept. 8 and a Rose committeeman
moved to amend the motion SO that the
date would be August Is. This is in
line with the Rose program to nave a
"snap" convention. 1t was repeatedly
urged by the Rose committeeman that
the democrats should lose no tine in
getting their ticket in the field, but Mr..
Rogers said there was no necessity for
that, that the republicans were effec-
tually hanging their chances for sue
cess by the continuation of their bitter
factional fight and they could be given
a few weeks more rope with good re-
suits to the democratic party. He saio
the presence of a democratic ticket III
the field would tend to cause the re-
publicans to forget their family row
when in sight of their enemy. He also
urged the economy of a short cam
paign. There was no reason in this
last to the Rose committeeman, but
Mr.. Rogers logic prevailed and his mo-
ton for September 8 prevailed.
Some of the Rose rooters circulated
story in the morning that the vote
between Madison and Milwaukee was
to be test between Burr w Jones ana
Rose. 1t is said the falsehood made
votes for Madison.

Secretary Shaw Makes Denial of a
Story.

Washington, July 23.-Secretary
Shaw yesterday made denial OF the
story that he had favored the five-year
limit of service in the treasury depart
ment and that he believed an employee
lost his usefulness after five years. AS
an illustration of his attitude on the
matters of personnel, it may be cited
that Shaw signed yesterday placing
laborers and others unskilled positions
under the control of the civil service
commission removing thereby the last
bit of patronage at the disposal of the
secretary of the treasury.

OF GREAT BENEFIT TO HUsBANpRy
Good Work Accomplished by Depart
ment of Agriculture.

GOOD Work Accomplished by Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The department of agriculture was
formerly a jest and byword; its re-
ports, sent by train loads to placato
voters, were relegated to attics or
thrown into the ash barrels. Seeds
sent to those who never asked for
them, as Is fit for unsought gifts,
or late years this important de-
partment has been elevated to a cab
met position and its scope broadened.
In forestry II has atoned for the
past; in horticulture 1t is now direct
ing intelligent effort; in the single
division of cotton culture 1t has de-
veloped an Egyptian staple OF cotton
which will thrive on American soil,
furnishing a soft fiber suited for un.
derwear and hosiery. In place of a
cotton plant liable to attacks of a de-
structive insect 1t has hypridized n
variety which Is immune to such crea-
tures--bad for the bugs. but better
for the planters. This work reaches
beyond the agricultural interests, and
touches the affairs of the whole pco-
pie and should be Endorsed by the
community and sustained by congress.

Tho Young King of Spain.

The king of Spain. whose corona
ton takes place soon. has of necessity
been kept much aloof from the casual
and impromptu wherein fun most
does love to Turk; but fun he dearly
loves like other lads. He and his sis
tiers have learned to make the most of
their simple opportunities of glimpses
outside their daily routine. One Of
their eXCitements has been visit to a
convent 60 where the younger nov
ices and nuns became great friends
with the royal children. Among the
sisters is certain girl of English ex-
traction on the mothers side-a sim
gularly bright and pretty creature,
speaking the most delightful English,
which is a reason for encouraging the
friendship which the younger prin-
cess, the Infanta Theresa, has con-
ceived for her. Alfonso likes her i'm
mensely.

Baptist Institute.

Met with the Laddonia church
Friday, August %. Called to or
der by the chairman, Bro. j. Il.
Ware, Mt 1870 o'clock.
Each topic was taken in turn
and thoroly discussed, and many
of the workers profited by the new
ideas brought out.
The leading talk of the session
was made by Bro. Charles Rhoads
of st. Louis, ). :. missionary of
Missouri, employed by the Ameri-
can Baptist Publication Society of
Philadelphia. His theme-How to
Make a Good Sunday School Bet
ter. The Sunday school is serv-
ice of the church, and the church
which neglects its Sunday school
is neglecting part of its duty.
When we speak of preaching as
the church service we make great
mistake for it is only one of the
services. Prayer meeting is also a
service of the church. And the
church should have control of all
its services. Should elect officers
of Sunday school and select its
teachers. The church should have
but one treasury and all money
collected turned into it and all ex-
penses of church paid out of it.
Work of the Sunday school-to
teach and study the Bible; pur-
pose, to bring souls to Christ and
build them up in Christ. To have
better Sunday school we must en-
large the attendance. Adopt bet
ter means of organization, be more
careful in selecting teachers.
Good teachers make good pupils.
Have teachers make careful prepa-
ration. In order to do this the
teacher should have all the helps
and works on teaching he may be
able to procure. The pastor is
the head teacher in the church and
the Sunday school teachers are his
assistants. Should have review
and examination each Sunday ON
the previous lesson. The school
that does not study and strive to
advance is not worthy of the name.
We need to take advantage of all
accessories, Guch as the library
blackboard and maps. Every
church ought TO have a mission
school.
The Laddonia school made q
good showing; has an enrolment
of so pupils; ) officers and 16 pu-
pills did not miss n single session
last quarter.
We met a hearty welcome at
Laddonia and were royalty enter,
tanned by the good brethren anC
sisters of the church.

parts in the discu ssiOns, besides
Bro. RhOads. were: Revs. H. f

A MAMMOTH BENEFIT
At 0RPHEUM THEATRE
NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT
In Aid Of Myrtle and Healani Boat
Clubs Hogan and His
Company to Take
Part.

There is going to be another benefit.
The members Of the Myrtle and Hea-
lani boat clubs have combined for a
mammoth benefit performance at tho
Orpheum theater next Friday evening
and the urgent need of money in the
clubs has helped to arouse such en-
thusiasm among the boys as to assure
the public Of the greatest show on
EARTH"
Ernest Hogan and Billy" McClain
with the others of the Orpheum COM
pany have contributed their services
and will have many specialties touch
ing on boating subjects. There will
also be a number Of topical and tropi-
cal songs.
Allan Dunn has charge Of selecting
local talent for the program and has
any quantity of fertile material on
hand in the line OF local actors and
would-be actors who will help to make
the benefit bowling success. Sonny"
Cunha has a little act far more laugh
able than his famous Sapho scene and
the amount of new talent of the rar-
est quality, is surprising.
Johnnie Soper has charge of seCur-
ing advertisements for the program
and his lack of experience in this line
is a superb quality, inasmuch as 1t
will enable him fearlessly and unblush-
ingly to ask the business community
fourteen prices for single ad.
The reason for the benefit at this
time Is the necessity OF funds in the
Myrtle Boat Club to meet the heavy eX-
penses forced upon the boys by being
obliged to move their boat house. On
the part of the Healanis new coat Of
paint on their club quarters and other
needed repairs are much needed. Both
are worthy causes.
The boys are very conscientious in
the matter of benefits and would not
attempt 1t. except for the excellent OPP
portunity of entertaining their friends
which is assured by the great quantity
and superb quality of inactive theatri-
cal talent now in the city.
All members Of both the Healani and
Myrtle Clubs who wish to help by dis
posing Of tickets can obtain them from
F. J. Church at the Honolulu Photo
Supply Co.
Mr.. Church has charge of Ne finan-
cial arrangements.

tatives of both clubs met at the Hea-
lani boat house to discuss the affair

appointed: +. J. Church. finances; +
J. Soper program; Charlie Frazier, D.

Among other things done by thu

will be strictly first class and
