Founders Day.

The "FoundeI's Day" exercises OF
the Kamehameha Schools, today,
were very interesting and impress
sive. In the morning at $3.50 The
achools formed and took passage by
the Rapid Transit line to the head
OF Liliha street from whence the
pupils and teachers marched to the
Mausoleum. There appropriate
services were held and the tomb Of
the bt nefactress OF the Schools,
BeInice Pauahi Bis shop,was decorat-
cd with lowfrs aud greenery. Re.
turn was afterwards made to the
schools where diversified exercises
appropriate to the occasion were

A SENTIMENTAL EYESORR.

W. F. G. Hasson, an intelligent
electrician, at present in the Terri
torial employ, writes us, anent the
objection made by this paper
against acts of vandalism which
were perpetrated by workmen In
the installing Of electric lighting at
St. Andrews Cathedral. The acts
complained of were not applicable to
the destruction of the architectural
appearance nor to the chaotic sur
roundings, but to the actual va1dal
ism in the ruthless breaking away
of portions OF building, every
stone of which had been duly con-
secrated by appropriate and ritual
istic ceremonies. Those solemn SER
vices become farce aud the house
becomes desecrated when the com.
ponent parts thereof may be so
pitilessly destroyed. 'Tis the heart,
not the eye, that has the sad, sore
spot.

We do not intend to dispute Mr..
Hasson's remarks about the installa-
tiou OF the electrical wires, not
knowing the advice he gave in the
matter when appealed to, but we
do not appreciate the palpable aud
apparent obstructive and chaotic"
work 80 far undertaken unbeknowp,
as far as known to us, to any OF
those in authority and who have
only that property in trust for GER
tain uses and purposes. Believing,
as Mr.. Hasson does, that, sin elect

this nature there is always period
when the work appears destructive

are most sorry to say that that
"period" had already come, and
that our objection had come only
too late to prevent the prosecution
of such obstructive and chaotic"
piece OF botch work, undoubtedly
undertaken by some one not a
mason or master workman. but
rather by tyro, who evidently has
no knowledge whatever of such a
trade nor is he of that craft.
A master workman has told
us that he would not have under
taken to do such job for anything,
for he knew that it would be sacri-
lege and desecration, pure and sim
pie. He further said that had he
been appealed to, he would have
evaded doing it, even if he was re.
quested to by our American Bishop

In speaking upon this matter, we
have no kick coming against those
whose earnest Efforts enabled the
accomplie hment of the work.
We cannot blame the good
ladies OF tho Church who
took this matter in hand aud raised
the funds for the purpose Of the
electrification Of the Cathedral in
terror. Our fault is found against
the Church officials, the Board OF
Directors, with the Bishop as the
ca o6icio president. 1T is to them
that we must look to for an explain
alton, holding them responsible for
what has been done. We feel that
they have violated their trust and
there is no remedy but TO offer a
protest and then perhaps quietly
subside.
