to Mount Vernon he returned after

and the presence of his tomb here made

for the purpose. In 1858 the Mount Yer

as regent, and vice regents representing
twelve States. Contributions were sole

HONOR MEMORY
OF WASHINGTON

Washingtons birthday was celebrates
yesterday with something of enthusiasm
in several of the city schools, though it
passed others, such as the High School,
without any comment in general, the
teachers of several of the rooms simply
giving to their children little lectures
upon the man whose name is inseparably
connected with February 22nd.
Following the custom prescribed by
the board, the teachers OF every school
in the Islands took for their text the
life of Washington in their general re-
marks to the scholars at the end of the
week, and in some instances the pupils
gave Rotations and essays upon the
Father of his Country. In this city the
two schools which gave the most time
to the subject were the Kaahumanu and
the kaiulani schools. AT the Kaiulani
school Principal Mrs. Frasher called the
children into the assembly hall and pre-
sided over the exercises, which consum-
ed the time after noon. The full pro-
gram, was as follows:

At Kaahumanu School.

The Washington's birthday ceIebra-
ton at Kaahumanu School yesterday
at noon was thoroughly patriotic. and
the 600 pupils entered into the spirit OF
the occasion. The large assembly hall
was appropriately decorated with flags
and bunting, the handiwork of Miss
Cara Quincy, Miss Daisy Lishman and
Miss Nellie Mclean. The pupils gath
cred in the assembly hall upstairs, and
with music and recitations told of
Washington, his deeds and public SER
vices, dwelling particularly on Incl
dents of his boyhood days. Miss Eel
ker, the principal of the school. was
quite satisfied with the manner in
which the program was rendered. and
the children 8 went away from the
school cheering for the father of his

that at last the duke touched his shOul-

obliged, master. but we must not let
the soup get cold.''
Bach sprang to his feet and followeG
the duke to the dining room withouc
uttering word. But he was scarcely

to the instrument like one demented,
struck few chords and returned to
the dining room, evidently feeling much
better. Il beg pardon. your highness.

1t would be a good thing If in our

while heroism is a fine thing and a
great thing, 1t is a most uncomfortable
thing and that possibly. on the whole.
the best and most lasting work that is
accomplished in life comes from a
steady application Of all ones best en-
ergies to noble purpose, meeting with
honest and patient effort the emergen-

holding true to the middle course,
which assures success without bring

Twenty years ago 1t was est uatcd
that 100000 persons crossed London
bridge daily. 10000 on foot and the
rest In vehicles. With the growth or
population these numbers have almost
doubled. In spite of the relief afforded
by the building of the Tower bridge,
half a mile down stream.
1t has therefore become an urgent
matter to increase the capacity Of the
older bridge. and 1t has now been de.
cided to accomplish this by means OF
granite corbels which will carry the
footways as projections over the wa
ter on each side of the bridge. This will
Increase the width OF the structure

open balustradA will take It's place. an

Arriving at one of the monster hills
of the white vt, climbed upon it and
raised my observation glasses to my

NV first glance showed me, arising
from the dead level of the plain be-
yond, two objects, each having the
form of a capital S. These / knew
were the heads and uecks Of two os-
triches. Though believed they had
sighted me, remained immovable un7.
til their necks were suddenly drawn
down to the level of the tops Of the
bushes which screened their bodies.
Then l knew for certainty that they
were aware Of my presence and would
make quick retreat.
"Without losing an instant's time
ran to the spot where the birds had
been standing and found their tracks.
These / followed as far as they were
distinguishable and then took course
which believed the birds would nat
urally follow. No sooner had I reached
the top Of the rav vine than saw one OF
the ostriches climbing the side hill. Es-
timating the distance, took sight and
ared. The ball passed Immediately be-
tween his legs and struck in the sand
of the side hill behind him.
''In an instant the bird darted away
like an arrow in the direction Of a

behind this bush and then finally

that the crafty old bird had shifted hia
course at right angle, making the
turn SO suddenly that his feet had
plowed up the sand for distance OF
several inches. This wary tact had
placed the bushes between the bird
and myself, and he had made his way
