here, Miss, so please taken a months
notice"
I My father and the boys treated
/ Madge's alarm and Hannah's de-
termination to leave as a huge joke,
until one night when | had forgotten
to draw the blind, Bernard, my young
est brother, went from the drawing
room, where we all were. to fetch
something from the dining-rOom.
Father" he called, come here
quickly" The sharp ring of terror or
pain-we could not tell Wilhelm his
voice made us all follow my father
into the hall.
Look" cried Bernard, who with
blanched face stood midway between
the diningroom and the hall window,
is that old Marsh?"
There, sure enough, in the upper
part of the window, we all could dis
tInctly see the head and shoulders OF
an ola man. The features set, the
eyelids closed, as in the awful still
ness of death. In life it could not
have been other than an unpleasing
face; but, with the seal of death adj
ding To- it's GOODNESS and hardness, it
appeared positively hideous.
This must be a cleverly-played
trick said my father, going close up
TO the glass and peering out. But the
cold, still face seemed to mock him,
for there it was, in shadowy outline
against the laurels.
He and the boys searched around
the bushes; but nothing could they
see or hear Hour after hour we kept
going out into the nall 10 see if the
ishadowy fern OF the old man were
still there. Yes, there it was, and its
very immovableness added to its hor-
rible fascination. 1t was long after
midnight before we could be per-
suaded to dispense, although father
upon his return from putting out the
lights IN the dining-room, thankfully
informed us that the horrid face had
disappeared.
Il will fathom this tomorrow" said
he, cor else we will go out of the
house at once" Accordingly, next
day he went into Sea Vale.
The agent allowed that it was re-
ported that The Knoll was haunted
but, said he, THAT, sir, is easily ac-i
counted for, because of Mr.. Marsh de-
stroying himself in the garden facing
the house. People are always ready
TO declare a place haunted that has
been the scene of suicide or murder"
Quite So" agreed my father. q
am no believer in ghosts, but the fac;
remains. On no account shall | re-
main at The Knoll unless the affair is
cleared up. Will you spend the even
ing with us? Should the face again
appear you will at least be able to
tell US if it resembles the late Mr.
Marsh"
Willingly the agent acquiesced; but
though he came for a whole week
nothing was seen of the apparition.
II think. sir" said he enc evening
when he rose to go, you will allow
that il is useless my coming out here
night after night"
At this moment Hannah burst into
the room without ceremony, crying
| "Old Marsh sir. old Marsn!"
Quickly we went into the hall and
again were confronted by the cold,

Now lie who knows Old Christmas,

And ere he is anigh the door,
We ope to let him in.
Oh, he's a rare old fellow;
What gifts he gives away!

Could equal him to-day
Good luck unto Old Christmas,

He is more kind unto the poor
Than any crowned king.

TOURIST TRAVEL WORK.

At a meeting Of the Joint Tourist
Committee of the Chamber of Com
merce and the Merchants Association
yesterday afternoon, L. NJ. Boyd was
selected secretary and was authorized
to at once start the work which has
from time to time been mapped out
by the committee. Chairman Smith
was empowered to negotiate for quart
ers for the committee. These will be-
offered to the government as an as
sembling point for the exhibits to DO
sent to the st. Louis Exposition.
Chairman Smith and Treasurer Gil
man were appointed a committee OF
two for the purpose of interviewing
business houses of the city for the pur-
pose of securing pledges for support Of
the work Of the committee, thes"
pledges to cover period or one year.

and arrogance-are the two opposite
sides of the same crystal. The same
attributes which make man when
powerful tyrannize over others will
make him the agitator and the revO.
lutionist if he happens to be placed at
the other end of the social pale" The
course mapped out by men of this
stamp spells disaster for themselves
and those thoughtless or innocent fol.
lowers whom they may drag down to
their level. Temporary success may
| for a time crown their effotrs, but his
tory has demonstrated times without
number the certain destruction to
which the course leads.
Despite the struggle in some quarters
! to make 1t appear otherwise, the Bulle-
tin does not believe that the solid, influ-
entail leaders among the Hawaiians or
the haoles of this Territory are now or
will be found preaching or sanctioning
the doctrine which would make the po-
litiCal divisions coeXtensive with the
dividing line of race. II we were to take
the say.so OF the morning press for
instance, the central thought of every
man. woman and child in this Territory
in whose veins runs the blood of the
Hawaiian race is to make combina-
tons by which the supremacy of the
race shall be established by force OF
numbers rather than capacity and hon.
esty. The estimate OF the race IL
drawn from the prejudicial acts
OF agitators. The position taker
is not only unjust but is 81
palpably false that 1t arouses al
: acrimonious spirit of resentment max
ing doubly difficult the work of thos
educated Hawaiian-Americans endeav
; oring to break down the i'll feeling o
: the past. 1t plays into the hands o
D the race party promoter, furnishing
] him with Just the ammunition desire
10 further his cause.

STOPPED RUNAWAY.

Deputy Sheriff Chas Chillingworth
this morning distinguished himself by
a daring stop of dangerous runaway
on King street. At about IL O'Clock
the horse, which belonged to the Ho
nolulu Iron Works and had been left
united outside the office on Nuuanu
street, came dashing up the crowded
thoroughfare with a wagon behind 1t
The animal, a large, powerful black
took the whole street and sent people
and rigs scurrying out of the way,
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth was
standing quietly outside the Union
Grill when he heard the rumpus. He
unhesltatingly made a dash for the
horse and caught 1t with one hand on
the name and one on the bit. The
powerful animal dragged the Deputy
Sheriff quite a little distance before
no was stopped. Chillingworth's 2Os
pounds OF weight on the horses head
was too much for him and he was
brought to standstill outside e. o,
Halls store.

cLAvERIN6's SURVEY.

The survey of the S. s. Clavering
has not yet been completed. This
morning the diver examined the bot.
tom of the vessel forward Of the
bridge and found 1t to be unchanged
with the exception that the paint had
been scraped OFF in places. This Ia
the part of the vessel which was on
the reef.
The agents of the tug Chas. Coun'
selman have sent in bill for $40, 900
for the services of that tug in pulling
the Claverlng off the reef. Captain
Barton of the Clavering regards this
price as being so high as to be out OF
the question.
Irwin & Co. have not yet decided
On the amount they will charge for the
services of the Fearless.
Captain Barton expects that the
Clavering will sail for San Francisco
tomorrow.

men were attired in short trousers,
troublesome waists and the dropstitch
half.hose of babyhood.
The games which were played pro-
yoked hilarity among men who do not
laugh often. Wade the swamp" for
feits, King william, postoiiice and other

as quickly as Of old.
Mrs. Blair herself was the life OF the
party. She made the guests, some OF
whom were a bit timid at first, feel
perfectly natural in the garments they
had discarded so many years ago with
pride and thankfulness.
Mrs. Blair, who is president OF the
board OF lady managers of the Worlds

Ical organizations, declined today TO
give list of the names Of her guests.

OPPOSED TO RACE ISSUE.

Approving applause was the re-
spouse given by the alumni of the ka-
mehameha school when, during re-
cent address on the duties OF citizen
ship under county government, 7. Nc
Giants Stewart came out strongly
against possible political movements
based on race divisions, This Incl
dent bears excellent testimony to the
sentiment prevailing among Hawaiian
Americans who may properly be
termed a leading element in our cleo
torate. These young men constitute
an already strong and constantly
growing power in Hawaii's polit-
ical life. Advantages OF education
which give a broader view Of public
affairs and a clearer understanding OF
the duties OF citizenship convince them
that their own interests and the well
fare OF those who follow them cannot
be served by arousing the prejadices,
so easily turned into the channels OF
bigotted bitterness, that Turk in the
difference OF race.
There is an element, there are in
dividuals among the Hawaians, and
the haoles as well, whose political &C.
ton is based primarily upon a race
issue. God has not yet created any
human race that it free from agitators
troublemakers who appeal to and builC
their hopes on fostering a spirit that
places race against race and class
against class. 1t was of such men that

Sir:-In your article on the front
page of today's Advertiser" entitled
Where are the vouchers of the ad-
journed House" and your editorial
bearing the head line The Missing
Vouchers" on page four OF the same
issue you reflect upon the character Of
Mr.. Henry c. Vida as legislator and
insinuate-nay more, charge that Mr..
Vida is guilty of destroying the vouch-
ers Of the last Legislature.
We beg leave to remind you that
Mr.. Vida was not a member of any
Committee of the House which had
charge or control of the vouchers and
also that the only construction OF the
article. referred to, are ones which are
unjust In the extreme to Mr.. Vida and
damaging, II allowed to pass unchal-
lenged to his character as a citizen and
member of the Legislature.
We would request that you in your
next issue correct this idea. and say
that you had no intention of charging
Mr.. Vida with so destroying the rec.
ords. Upon investigation you will find
that Hon. Mr.. Harris as chairman OF
the Committee of Finance, and Hon
Mr. Purdy as chairman of the Commit
tee on accounts were the ones who hat
the absolute control Of all vouchers.
