SAVINGS AND TEMPERANCE.

With all due respect to the other

Savings Banks in the schools is one OF
the most practical efforts OF the local
W. c. T. L. The Bulletin firmly be-
lieves in planning all temperance work
and its allied endeavor on broad
basis. What others are doing and its
application to local problems is always
of value and serves to keep workers out
of the ruts of insularisms. A dollar
or an hour however expended in pro-
noting frugal spirit-tempeTanCe In
expenditures-among the school child
rem is worth more than a thousand
dollars contributed to Anthony Com.
stocks campaign against vice in New
York City. Anthony is doubtless
pleased to learn that his fame has ex'
tended to touch the hearts and pocket
books of the good people in this distant
Territory, but when times are hard in
Honolulu and easy in New York, II
would seem that expenditures are bet
ter confined to local fields.
If temperance workers want prac'
teal results they will center their eff
forts among the young people. ant
there is no better place to reach then
than in the schools. Though saving
the pennies may be considered fal

that intoXicates, 1t certainly appeals tC
the youngsters. 1t creates spirit OIL
responsibility which in conjunction
with the theoretical teachings inspires
the youth with thOughtfulness fol

in forming the character OF temper,

Should Anthony Comstock come to
Honolulu It is a question whether, after
reviewing the local situation and the
necessity for extraordinary care in ex.
penditures, he would not advise that
contributions contemplated for assist,

more wisdom devoted to the work Of

found them stretching themselves lux
uriOusly on the grass enjoying long
delightful rest after their hard eXper-
fences. One of the men, Simon, spoke
fairly good English and willingly told
his story of the wreck of the Comet
able and the subsequent trip in an open
boat to Niihau. The other sailors
clustered close TO him and often sup
plemented his tale in French.
According to these sailors the Con-
notable had hard luck from the time
she LETT Hongkong. She was short Of
provisions. On one occasion the steam
ship City of Picking supplied the hun
cry Frenchmen with food. On anoth-
er occasion the Connetable signalled a
steamship, which the sailors think was
Togo Kisen Kaisha boat. They claim
that as soon as the liner saw their
, signal she veered in her course to es-
cape meeting the bark.
The story of the stranding of the
Connetable on the French Frigate
Shoals is a very undramatiC one. The
biggest Of the small Islands, which
looks like three-masted ship, was
seen from the Connetable at a distance
OF about ten miles, but was taken TO
be vessel No one had any idea of
danger before the vessel was aground.
There were no breakers as the tide
was high and the sea calm. The dis
aster therefore came without the slight
est warning. The Connetable simply
slid up on the reef, bumped couple
, Of times and stuck. She was lying
very nicely on coral with only a small
tilt. As the sea was calm she was not
pounding. She made no water. For
twenty-four hours the officers and crew
worked at getting the vessel off the
reef, using anchors and the donkey en-

men say 1t was a very trying eXper-
