EDUCATION AL
To Encourage Graduates.
CONDUCTED BY sUPT.c. R. ALDRl

The recognition that the best high
schools and colleges in the state are
giving to our graduates from the
common schools should be. an
incentive to every pupil in these
schools to finish the work as pre-
scribed by the course of study and to
prepare to pass the common school
examination. None should be content
however to finish the course by mere
passing grades, for it is the student
who has the ambition to excel that
the colleges are willing to help.
Several scholarships ranging in
value from ten to forty dollars have
been received by the county superin-
tendent and will be presented to the
pupils who have earned them at the
recent examinations.
The following colleges have each
offered a years scholarship valued at
forty dollars to the pupil, making the
highest average and for the next
highest, some have offered half year
scholarship:
Cooper College, Sterling.
Baker University, Baldwin.
Campbell College, Holton.

To Our Teachers.

In your work during the school
year just closed you have given me
your loyal support and I certainly
appreciate it.
Problems, both new and old, have
been presented to US for solution and
in our results we have ever looked
for what would make our schools
better. The time is near at hand
when we must prepare for another
years work.
1t is to the County Normal that we
look for the best methods of teaching.
and teachers who attend the normal
for the purpose of learning better
methods, and what is modern in school
ethics in general, will derive the
greatest benefit.
The term is too short for any one
to accomplish much with new subjects
but the State Course of Study is
followed and the program is so
arranged that any one can select the
few branches they most need to
study and get a good review.
Many teachers will find in this
session of the Normal a solution of
some of. their difficulties. In the
trials, defeats and victories of our
fellow teachers, in the words of coun-
sci and encouragement. of our in
structors, we shall find strength.

JOHN ). STEPHAN THE SOUTH MAIN ST WINE
 AND LIQUOR DEALER

has secured this space. MT Sheehan's object in securing this space is to keep the public posted in the many bargains in Wines and Liquors he has to offer without looking all over the paper for them. His store is situated at 223 South Main street, opposite Grand street, where he carries in stock some of the choicest Wines and Liquors that are to be found anywhere in the state. MT Sheehan's theory substan- tiates his statement that goods we'll bought are half sold. He has this motto ever before pim, buying only from reputable distillers and wine dealers, always steering clear of drum mers and so-ealled wholesale liquor dealers. He represents the well known distillers, Lewis '66" and Jas E. Pep per Dfstilling Go, buying from the lat ter 1000 cases of Pepper Whiskey, dis
 tillery bottling, selling the same to the public at the wholesale price of $1.00 per bottle, $12.0O per case, 1Oc per drink. Such low prices are unheard of in the history of Jas E. Pepper.

WHEN YOU GO A-F1sHlNG.

You don't shut up your store now and then when you go a-fishing, or take a day off. It would be just as good policy to do that, however, as to take out your advertisement for day now and then. In effect, so far as seeking business publicity is concerned. that amounts to just the same thing as shutting up your store.

SUIT OVER GOOD
WILL TRANSACTION

The assumpsit suit of Theo. F. Lam
sing VS.. Emmett May came on for trial
before Judge Robinson yesterday
morning. E. M. Watson for plaintiff;
Geo. A. Davis and A. A. Wilder for
defendant. The following jury was
empaneled: L. j. Nahora Hipa, James

ham Kekai, II. S. Swinton, Frank p.

1t is a suit on a promissory note for
$1,000, payable to plaintiff in considera-
ton for the good will of the insurance
business of the Honolulu Investment
Co. The defense is no consideration,
on a contention that Lansing imme-
diately after the transaction set up an
Insurance agency of his own. Much of
the day was spent in wrangling be-
tween the lawyers over the rules of
evidence.

WOULD HAVE
HATCH RECALLED

The voice of the people can gener-
ally be depended upon when the foun-
tains of the great deep are broken up,
and the popular voice is heard. The
policy which the News has consistently
and inslstently advocated, so far as
the county bill Is concerned has been
affirmed by the people of Honolulu.
A test case to try the validity of the
county act was an absolute necessity,
and Hatch's mission to Washington
was ill-tmed. 1t is to be hoped that
the Supreme Court will hold the pas
sage of the county act valid, even
though they may find flaws in it,
If we have enough of the county bill
left to begin business on, future leg
islatures can amend it's defects. The
county bill in the main is n good one,
and workable In case, however, the
Supreme Court finds that we have no
county bill, an extra session of the
legislature should be called to pass
one properly. In the meantime, those
who sent Hatch to Washington should
at once telegraph him to delay action
by Congress, or we may be put in the
position of having Congress ratify a
bill which our Supreme Court has de-
clared invalid, which would be lovely
situation.-Maui News.

The Siberia failed to come in yester-
day from Yokohama as expected. She
was not sighted although those directly
concerned as to her arrival kept close
watch all day. Hackfeld & Co. ex-
pected the vessel to arrive early yes
terday morning. She will undoubtedly
arrive early this morning, and will
probably lose no time in departing for
San Francisco. She has 800 tons OF
freight for Honolulu and a large num-
Der of passengers are expected to land
here, among them being ladies con-
nected with the navy. Midway Island
did not report the vessel and she may
have passed too far away or went by
in the night. a number of passengers
will join here, among them being Cen
eral and Mrs. Arthur Macarthur, and
several officers from the fleet.

dated December 10, 1902 and a decis-

further to have transferred to the Chief
Justice as Chancellor the original and
the amended bills filed respectively on
April 6, 1901, and on August %, 1902,
and all papers in the cause, the motion
being based on the ground that the
Circuit Judge had no Jurisdiction in
the matter and that the Chief Justice
as Chancellor has such jurisdiction.
The decision is rendered per curl

in her appeal was unconstitutional be-

about the case, it's decision being
