Scramble for Souvenirs.

From a friend in the British legation now visiting Manhattan. l had an amusing tale t'other night Our Mu- tual Friend, we could not call him our Common Friend, even for the sake of grammatical correctness. Ills Polite and Polite Majesty, Edward the Seventh of England, at certain puohc function recently ate many cheries anu left the stones in neat pyramlu oii i,s ,1.+e os ia the custom of wise men in- stead of swallowing them. Immediately there was a scramble of several American ladies present for these precious stones They wanted them for souvenirs or roy alty and intend to have them carved lh tba likeness of the king and mounted as jewels to be left as herlooms to their posterity. Of a verity this is funny. Could the force of fiattery further go? what think you, dear eountrywomen or mihe by the million, who naVer have a chance to bounce on the precious cherrystones of a king?

Wooden Indians Must Go.

The New York Indians must go. This doesn't refer to the Tammany tribe, but to the wooden chiefs, the signs of the old cigar stores. Already they are rapid ly disappearing and soon the perspective of many New York streets will be im- proved by their absence. Time was. when an Indian was just as classically the outpost and sign of cigar store as the striped pole was the mark of a bar Der shop But the trust has begun to change all that The tobacco shop is be- coming place of elegance, yes, even of magnificence. Some of the decorated windows are "a dream and cause the ladies passing to stop and stare. Then the prizes also attract the sex we chief ly prize and it is no unfrequent sight now to see ladies with coupons at the coun- ters making selections of presents for their masculine friends.

Colonel Allard's Whiskers.


 The foregoing absurdity of actuality was further emphasized in my mind by meeting a few days after a connection of the famous Allari family of Hot Springs, Ark There Is whisker story in their archives equally funny. Old Colonel Al- lard. who used to run a paper there, call cd The Sentinel was a bellieose writer and loved to abuse the editors of the op- position papers in fine oldfashioned fero- city In one of his issues he referred to his editorial brother on the Horseshoe as a long-haired yellow-haired tramping scribbler The retort next day was this "I am haired and yellow-haired The good Lord made me 30. l am a tramplng scribbler. Bad mon are re- sponsible for this. But 1t nover took me two days to get shaved" The laugh on Allard echoed over the town for week It aroused recollection of very early day when the colonel sitting in bar Der chair had just been divested of one side of his hairy appendage. as another colonel named Rector entered the place at the front with shotgun sAllard skip ped through the rear door and made for the hills where he stayed till his friends DacfNs1 Rector

 The bull dogs of Manhattan are con- stant peril to the wayfarer and they sometimes when they have been long deprived of man-steak, are ungrateful enough to turn and bite their mistresses There's poor dear little Aimee Angeles. for instance, a charming actress, who has just gotten a cruel, unsought advertise ment In playing the part of Cerise-the Cherry-in .'The Man From China.

I am in the vein this week for telling

Historic Tavern Saved.

The people of the United States of America owe a large debt of gratitude to the New York State Society Of the Sons of the Revolution. Had it not been for their prompt action Fraunce's Tavern would undoubtedly have become more than a ruin very likely have been ac- uuired by some sensational person who would have started gaudy vaudeville hall on that historic site. This building Is really by virtue of its venerable age and the stirring memories that festoon 1t one of the most interesting places in New York Probably 1t Is the oldest building, for the snows and suns of near lv two centuries have wrought their will on 1t. Etienne de Lancey built 1t In ITO for modest country home. His grand son. Oliver In 1757, put 1t to business uses

I lived with a pri- vate tutor in a beautiful town In southern New Hampshire Barber shops there closed sharply at 6.

ATTENDANCE
is GROWING
MORE MEN AT TODAY'S MONDAY
YESTERDAI-THE ADDRESS.

The MONDAY meeting for men con-
Quoted by Archdeacon Wepber in tlfS
Alexander Young Building was much
more largely attended today than yes
terday. Almost every seat in the room
was occupied. The service followed the
same order as yesterday.
The address was on The Threefold
characteristics of Realest Manhood"
The text was from the words of St
Paul, Not slothful in business, fer
vent in spirit, serving the Lord" The
threefold characteristics, Archdeacon
Weber said, were energy, enthusiasm,
and spirituality The real man is en-
ergetic. He takes his business serious'
ly. He observes his relations to his
surroundings. His energy is digni-fied.
He has decision of character. He
knows no obstacles.
The real man is enthusiastic. He has
the same relation of mind to his work
that boys have toward their play. 1t
takes hold of them. In illustration of
the enthusiasm that is a characteristic
of real manhood, Archdeacon Weber
told the story of the drummer-boy in
the regiment, who always acted and
talked as though no one could drum
as he could and as though drumming
was the principal thing in war. Yet,
when the sudden night attack came,
and with it the initial panic of surprise,
it was his drumming which recalled
the regiment to it's duty, and recalled
the mems minds to their martial
thoughts and saved the regiment and
saved the day.
Illustrating the spiritual Characters
tic of real manhood, the Archdeacon
told the story Of Rudyard Kipling in
his illness. AS the nurse came into
the room he was repeating the prayer
learned at his mothers knee. The
nurse thinking he was calling, said to
him, I thought you were calling? !
thought you wanted something? ]
was calling, and I did want something,

replied Mr. Kipling, but l was calling
for the greatest one, and the greatest
something.
There can not be true fraternity with
out recognition of our Father. The
man who was helping his brother, while
he allowed his father and mother with
whom he had quarrelled to live in
indulgence and suffering, was not
reaching his duty as a brother SO we,
no matter how companionable and
helpful we may be to our fellow men,
are not rising to the characteristic of
manhood If we are unwilling to greet
our Father in heaven in prayer in the
morning and read the volume Of his
word, and recognize our relation to him
by becoming church members.
The meeting as on yesterday closed

ton. The MONDAY meetings will con-

ton, and it did not commit the con-
ference to anything.
The Rev. e. J. Rodd said his at
titude to the question was summed up
in three words, sympathy with eau
ton" The mere thought of union be-
tween two such churches certainly
made a strong appeal to their magma
tions. Both the churches had noble
records He believed the Methodist
Church could give the Presbyterian
Church some things which they would
be better for having and that Church
could give the Methodists some things
which tney would be better for having,
The common cause of Christianity was
more than Methodsm and more than
Presbyterianism. Christianity was
necessarily permanent, but denOmina-
tional forms which arose out of Chris
tianity might fall back into it, and re-
combine and take new forms. They
needed to wait humbly and devoutly
upon the leadings of Gods Providence,
and if Providence opened up the way
to basis of union no prejudice and
no mere love of tradition, should hinder
them from walking in that open way.
But if Providence seemed to close the
way no man should urge or force the
way.
After further discussion the resolu-
ton was carried unanimously.
The remaining recommendations of
the committee were adopted after dis
cussion. The most important of these
were as follows: THAT in the case of
the General Conference affirming the
desirability of union a committee, con-
sisting of an equal number of ministers
and laymen, and representing in its
| personnel the several conferences Of
the Methodist Church of Australasia,
be appointed to deal with the question,
also that the committee shall confer
and act with the appointed representa-
tives of the Presbyterian Church with
a view to the formulation of a basis of
union and that it be authorized to en-
ter upon such conferences and negotia-
lions as may seem desirable with a
view to promote the closer association
of the Methodist Church with such
other of the evangelical Churches as
may appoint representatives, for a
similar purpose"

INSIDE NO GURU"
SAID THE JAPS
FEDERAL PRISONERS RESIST Be
ING TAKEN TO JAIL-WANTS TO
CUT HER THROAT.

There was a lively time at Oahu
jail this morning when United States
Marshal Hendry arrived with two Jap
anese prisoners whom he had brought
from Lahaina on the Mauna Boa. They
are the man and woman whom Judge
Kahaulelio married in spite of the fact
that the woman had a husband who
had married her in Japan, and both
had strong objections to going to a
Jail.
More better l go hotel" said Mura-
kami, the male prisoner, and he held
on to the hack with all his strength. II
go inside 1 die" said the woman Maka.
She asked the hackdriver for a knife
with which to cut her throat. Inside
no guru," was the cry, but it didn't
work.
Deputy Jailer Kamana started to
drag Murakami out of the hack and
the Jap gave up the fight. The wo-
man was gently carried inside the en-
closure, whereupon she seated herself
on the sand and declared that she
would go no farther. 1t was necessary
to carry her inside and this was done
in spite of her firm declaration that she
intended to die If made to enter the
jail.
The case will be brought before the
next Federal Grand jury and in the
meantime both the Japs are in charge
of Jailer Henry and neither has died
yet as a result Of entering Oahu jail.
