ARE PAID
Guardsmen Get Money
From Uncle
Sam.

Hawaii's soldiers received their first
money for military service from Uncle
Sam last evening. Captain Douglas
of Camp Mckinley, as paymaster dis
tributed nearly $500 at the bungalow
to National Guardsmen for their SER
vices while in camp with the artillery
last June.
The private soldiers each got $2.17
for their five days service in camp,
went to Colonel Jones, who received
s48.6O
Some of the soldiers didn't appear
overly pleased with the amount of COM
pensation which the United States
government awarded them.
What did 1 tell you" said one pri-
vate as he left with his money. you
fellows won't camp any more now, l
guess.
Where are our two dollars a day."
The members of the band drew the
same pay as the privates, but Captain
Berger didn't get, cent. There was
misunderstanding of some sort in
regard to his pay. so his vouchers will
have to be returned to Washington.
Berger Was OOMh III Lie iCSOAoo oS
band-master with rank of Captain.
Captains pay would have entitled him
to s25 But the regular army band
master doesn't rank as captain, but
only as chief musician and Berger's
status will have to be explained before
he can draw anything.
The hospital corps was the best paid.
It's members each received $751;
Staff officers also were better paid
than the line officers. Captains OF
companies received s25 for the FIVE
days service, First Lieutenants s20.S3
and Second Lieutenants 1884. Lieu
tenants on staff received $22.22. First
Sergeants were paid s4.73, ordinary ser
geants received So even, and corporals
$3.50. The exact amount due each
| man in the regiment was put in sep
arate envelopes at Washington. As
each mans name was called, Captain
| Douglass tore the envelope open and
gave him the money. Lieutenant
| Behr of the Artillery and Captain Cor
man of the National Guard assisted in
| the payment. The staff officers, hos
pital corps and bandsmen were first
paid off and then the companies in al
phabetical order. All the companies
but CD of Hilo were paid off last
night. Captain Douglas will go to
Hilo next week to pay off those men
as well. The total amount distributed
last night was $3.50.

Umbrella Etiquette.

Umbrella etiquette hasn't improved in the
least, Notwithstanding all the rains we have
had.
To be sure, wet weather isn't conducive 10

We all get cross and irritable. We md

and didn't bring IL back. Our rubbers are
all out at the heels. and just because IL
rains, the stores ask 50 cents for the Scent
kind. And why does IL have to rain any
way?
Then we go out and jsb each other with
our~umbrellas.
When We get in a crowd we pull our rain

we don't care. It's raining.
When we get into a ca we carefully lean

GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS
PROJECT TO LET PRIVATE ARCHI-
TECTS DO ALL WORK.
Supervising Architect Cannot Keep
High-CIass Men Because of
Low Salaries.
washington Letter in New York Post.

Washington Letter in New York Post.
The resignation of Z. A. Crane, chief Of
the engineering and drafting division OF the
supervising architects Office in the Treas
ury. has revived a project, raooted once or
twice before, but never carried any dis
lance towards accomplishment, Of putting
all government architectural work out to
private practitioners. Mr.. Crane, who is
an uncommonly competent man. leaves be-
cause the law limits the salary Of the best
employees in the office to $3.50. and he can
do SO much better outside. With the cost
Of living continually on the increase. and
the government payroll not keeping up
with 1t, a good many chiefs Of bureaus
find themselves unable to hold fast their
most valuable subordinstes. The supervis-
ing architect philosophically faces the fact
that s2,750 is not going to retain any
clever and well-drilled man in his drafting
room against the seductions Of a possible
income of S. 900 or $4,000 to be made in in
dependent practice. Hence he has raised
a question whether the drafting room
might not be dispensed with, his office re-
duced to a pure bureau Of administration.
the designing of all new buildings turned
over to private architects-as is entirely
practicable under the Tarsney law-and
one of the most serious problems of gov
eminent architecture solved.
Some intimation leaked out the other day
that an agitation for change had begun,
and a report at once went forth that the
American Institute of Architects was petit
tioning to have all government work put
out but that Supervising Architect Tay-
lor was opposing IL. The reverse is the
fact. The institute has made no move, but
Mr.. Taylor would heartily welcome a plan
of that sort, IL the institute should sug
gest ii. He admits, however, that such a
change would accomplish practically no
saving of expense. While ii would eliminate
the labor and cost of the drafting room, it
charged with responsibility for the work
obtained outside, the superintendent and
the financial operations. This would mean
such an addition to the force In his law
and record, computing and accounts divi-
sion as would eat UP a large part OF the
money saved on the craftsmen. Moreover,
the private architects receive per cent
on the cost of building, whereas the aver
age percentage on a building put up by the
supervising architect is only 3R.
NOT SURE OF GOOD WORK.
1t would be necessary under the proposed
system to keep the full force of inspectors
now employed, and the government would
have less control over the honest execution
Of the work than 1t has now. The present
arrangement gives it not always the best
architecture from an artistic point Of view,
but in almost all cases better construction
