might have said the Ksmoiliili-

for which the recent Legislature
appropriated $4,000 as an emerg-

WHICH UNION is IT?

And following iu the wake OF the
meeting the other night OF the
Builders aud Traders Union, we will
again express our hope that it will
strongly urge the necessity OF en-
ploying Only citizsn labor on the
proposed Federal improvements at
Pearl Harbor. But may we ask
whether this is the same Union upon
which there is current yarn going
the rounds, which is somewhat in
the following strain:
A certain business man was having
house built as residence and the
work was given out to a contractor
who employed Asiatic mechanics
and laborers. The Union called a
a meeting and invited the business
man to attend, and he was there.
upon taken strongly to task for en-
ploying Asiatics on his building, and
he, OF course, naturally replied that
that was none OF his business as long
as the work was done satisfactorily,
but that the responsibility laid with
the contractor twhite), who in turn
employed his own helpers. When
they were through with him, on
going outside in the hallway, he ex-
amined the hats OF those who had
taken him to task, many wearing
straw hats, and found,to his surprise
and utter disgu,t, that most OF them
were wearing straw hats bearing a
Japanese imprint on the inside. 1t
was then his turn to take his judges
to task for wearing Asiatic made
hats, and none replied nay, for they
we're caught in their own petard and
in the meshes they had intended to
strangle the other.
What we want particularly to
know lie, whether it is the same
Union who thus got caught in the
meshes Of it own nets, or is it anoth-
or union altogether Ii not union
is it then the Builders and Traders

The late Mrs Vieira was one OF
several Portuguese women who
came to this country about 1866 6
to cast their lot with their future
husbands, men OF their own race
and country, aud the writer has a
faint recollection OF seeing them on
their arrival, he then being a small
tot, aud who knows her aud her
respected, now bsreaved, husband
and their family intimately, being
neighbors together. She was a good
wife, good mother, a friend to
those 10 need, a comforter to those
in sorrow and good angel among
those who require help, assistance
and the kindly ministrations OF a
good, kind and generous nurse,
whenever she met the writer in her
later years she always showed plea
sure and always received recogni-
ton from her, who 10 ,ked upon her
also as a m )ther and firm friend.
Among those who came here to-
gether with her, only three remain
with the living, and they are Mrs
Anna dos Andos Perry, Mrs Seabury
and a Mrs Silva, we'll known as Ma.
rie Clara. All the others are gone
aud the few remaining are yet to 60,
as all the old landmark, have to
make way for the new and the
changes that have come about in
the years that have now since pass
ed beyond recall.
