the Thirteenth of the
Month.

Ollie A. Williams and Estella Brown,
two young colored people, secured a
marriage license Thursday afternoon
and made all arrangements to have the
marriage ceremony performed by Court
Commissioner Gallick yesterday morn
ing. The hour for the wedding was set
at $3.50, but the couple failed to put in
an appearance, and later in the day the
prospective groom Informed the court
commissioner that they had decided to
wait another day before getting mar
ried.
What caused you to change your
mind" inquired Judge Gallick.
II looked at the calendar" replied
Williams, who still wore scared look,
"and when I seen that today was Fri
day, and the thirteenth day Of the
month at that, it settled the wedding
business for me. We just decided to
wait another day. I'm not very super
stitious, but none of this Friday and
thirteen hoodoo for me-"
Williams assured Court Commission
er Gallick that he would be on hand
with his bride this morning and have
the ceremony performed. but nothing
could induce him to have the marriage
take place yesterday.

THE PROGRESS OF
PACIFIC HEIGHTS

The majority of the passengers on
the pioneer electric street car line-the
one running up Pacific Heights-are
Japanese. Following the national GUS
tom they seek the high places and they
can be found at all times of day and in
the evening looking at the landscape
from the summit or picnicking on the
grass or in the tea house. Love of ma
ture is inbred among the japanese:
and at all promising elevations in their
own country they build temples for
worship. The hills and even the noun
tains of the island empire are crowded
with sanctuaries.
Probably If Buddhist temple We're
built on Pacific Heights the railroad
would have to put on more cars. Some
time ago the idea struck a number Of
Japanese and they approached Mr..
Desky on the subject. That gentleman
was willing to donate a site II the Jap
anese would build the temple. but as
money became tight the scheme lapsed.
But 1t has not been given up.
II am ready to do my part" said Mr..
Desky the other day, ''when the Jap
anese are ready to do theirs: and
shouldn't be surprised to see fine tenn
pie up here yet. But we need a small
| hotel first and l hope to see one built
before another year"
Pacific Heights with its tracts of Gull
it's new terraces is rapidly becoming
one of the most attractive of our

MAKE A MOVE.

Notes of approval from different
quarters were early heard regarding
the Advertisers suggestion OF an
aquatic carnival at Honolulu two years
hence. There Is little doubt that only
the initiative needs to be taken bV our
boating fraternity for gratifying re-
sponses OF n practical kind from the
community to be made. But the start
ought not to be long delayed. There is
great deal of preliminary business TO
be done and time never slips by faster
than when people bank upon the idea
that there is plenty of 1t to go and come
on. An Illustration of the truth of this
statement Is right before our eyes to-
day in the matter of the Hawaiian eX-
hibit at the st. Louis EXPOSITION
When Commissioner Barrett came here
two years ago to stir up our citizens
for the representation of this Territory
at the great fair, there was an easy
feeling as to time for preparation
though the event was then almost
definitely set for the following year
Then, when postponement until 1914
was announced. the local interest fell
dead as a door nail and was only
resuscitated when the meeting of the
Legislature made an effort to obtain
public funds necessary. Now, when the
time for shipping the exhibit, to have 1t
installed properly in good season, Is
close at hand IL not fully arrived there
is nothing but confusion of ideas as TO
the manner and method of making the
display Whether there Is to be Ha-
waian building and, If there is not
can space be obtained in one of the
departments for a homogeneous exhibit
or must the different classes Of our dis
play be scattered far and wide through
out the vast compound, are questions
stil distracting the local committee.
With this example before us of the
unsatisfactory results of our sub-trop-
ical habit of too heavily discountng
future equinoxes, all those in favor of
an aquatic carnival in 1905 ought not
only to signify it by holding up their
hands, but by getting their heads to-
gether for planning systematic action.
One practical suggestion has been
made already, following a hint in the
Advertisers former article on this sub
ject That is, to hang up cup Tor
first prize in an international yacht
race here. The most important action,
however, for immediate accomplish
ment is the making of a decision TO
hold the carnival. 1t will need all OF
two years for having the event talked
UP abroad so that people may lay their
plans, amidst other attractive schemes
of travel, for visiting Hawaii when 1t
takes place. AS already argued in
these columns, an aquatic carnival is
one of those things having universal

THE QUESTION OF BONDS.

It is the question of bonds more than
anything else that makes the Home
Rulers hesitate in picking candidates
for county office. OF course they know
that some of the men mentioned as pos
sible candidates would be unable to get
bondsmen, and II elected, the office de-
clared vacant on that account. For
that reason the Home Rulers are look
ing for candidates among the Repub-
leans. There are of course men who
are not fitted for office. who still might
be able to get bonds but there is the
bonded protection against dishonesty
even in such cases.
The minimum amount of bond. each
officer must give, is as follows: Super
visors, $4,000; treasurer $4,000; clerk,
$1,000: auditor, 10000; assessor, 100000:
district attorney. $4,000; recorder,
10000; surveyor, so, O0O district magis-
trate, 81 900, and road supervisor $4,000
The Board of Supervisors is empow-
cred to increase the amount over the
minimum prescribed by law.

MINISTER'S TALK
OF MISSION WORK

Its first meeting after vacation was
held by the Honolulu Ministerial AS
ISOLATION yesterday morning. There
were fourteen members present, Rev.
G. L. Pearson. president, in the chair.
Rev. o. p. Emerson made the adj
dress of the day, on Present Condi-
tions Among the Hawaiians." kahu-
naism was represented by him as be-
ing on the wane, having lost much OF
the baleful influence 1t possessed fifteen
years ago. Although intemperance had
increased, there was a stronger senti-
ment than ever in the native churches
against drinking habits. A decline OF
racial bitterness in politics was also
noted. The moral tone exhibited by in
dividuals and families was improved
Mr.. Emerson, who spoke extempore
attributed the credit fos the lettering
OF conditions very considerably to the
public schools and their teachers.

sometimes the people at single meet
ing speak fourteen different tongues.

A farmer named Ed Armstrong was
driving a bunch of cattle along the
road, near Salinas, the other day, when
couple of automobile enthusiasts
came tearing along at tremendous
speed. Armstrong feared that his cat
tie would become frightened and
stampede, so he held up his hand, and
asked the Automobiles to wait until
he could get his herd in shape. The
men only laughed at him, and con-
tinued going at full speed, defying
Armstrong to catch them. He applied
the spurs to his horse, took down his
RATA from the saddle, and was swing
ing the loop preparatory to landing ii
over their heads, when the courage of
the occupants of the car waned, and
the machine was brought to sudden
stop. The drivers waited patiently
while the cattleman drove his herd Il
one side of the road. and, after thank
ing them kindly, he allowed them t.
pass, without even so much as refer
ring to the ugly disposition they hac
shown until he had forced them t.
wait.

PANAMA CANAL TROUBLES.

Most OF our readers have doubtless
been puzzled by the contradictory tele-
grams from Colombia about the for
tunes of the canal treaty. One day the
news was favorable to passage; on an
other day the treaty was beaten ana
its supporters had gone home; the next
day there was a chance Of reconsidera-
ton, etc, and now there Is talk of
drafting a new treaty "in conformity
with the Constitution" Probably the
action OF the Venezuelan government
I'm delaying or suppressing the dis-
patches of the United States Minister
made 1t impossible for the Associated
Press to straighten out the news; ana
Furthermore there Is a plentiful lack or
knowledge in the United States upon
the treaty-making functions of the
South American state. So 1t happened
when the Senate rejected the canal
treaty, the act was regarded here rs
final when, in point of fact, the Colom-
ban House, which had not yet acted
had concurrent jurisdiction.
Under Title VI, Article rs, Section ~,
of the Colombian Constitution, the
House as well as the Senate exercises
the privilege of approving or rejecting
treaties entered into by the government
with foreign powers, and Title %l, Ar
ticle 100, Section 10, provides that:
All treaties shall be submitted for the
approval of Congress, and the conven-
lions shall be approved by the Presi-
dent, in the recess Of the House, ia
vorable judgment of the ministers of
the Council of state having been pre-
viouslv obtained.
The House voted after the Senate did
and seems to have sustained the ac-
ton OF that body on constitutional
grounds which means, as we UNDER
stand the matter, that the organic law
of the country forbids the alienation of
any of its soil. The proposed new
treaty, which Colombia will submit to
the United States, will probably under
| take to reserve for that country the
ownership of what the United States
will have the privilege of paying for.

VACATIONS.

The vacation habit is not possible
to all, but 1t is possible to many who
do not indulge in it. Sooner or later
the need asserts itself; and then, with
an overmastering voice, nature calls
upon the tired man to make his peace
with her. The call is always back to
nature; to the mountains. woods ana
streams, or the sea, to the primitive
forms Of life, a taste of which comes
from ones ancestry. 1t Is as II the

walks and iron staircases and OF
purely conventional existence, felt that

For forty years he led a strenuous
life, building great works. making

pily he knew what to do. The strlck-
en- king went to the mountains; he slept
in the fields under whatever shelter ne

prickly pears, succulent grasses, wild
honey, birds eggs and everything else
he could find in natures larder. Ihe
