A DYING Race.

1t is predicted that within few gen
erationS the race of native IIawaiian>
viii become extinct.
The main cause. as set forth by Lu-
Glen C. Warner. in the Outlook. are in
termarriage and the poor state of
health of the pure bloods. Their total
number has been reduced from 70.OO0
in 1888 To less than 10000 in 1900.
Marriages between the Hawaiians ana
other races are quite frequent. and
the number Of part Hawaiians i
steadily increasing. In 1872 the census
gave but LAST part Hawaiians. In 1854
they had increased to APIS, and il,
1900 to 7.S4s. The larger proportion
Of children among the part Hawaiians
Is Indicated by the statistics of school
attendance, which in 1902 showed +.
9O} full-blood Hawaiian children To ii
total population Of 27.7S7, and 2.S65
part Hawaiian children TO Il popula-
ton of ISIS. In other words. the pro
portion cf children j. twice a. great
among the part Hawaiians a. among
those of pure blood.

Chlldren's Day services were held al
Lebanon NJ. T.. church yesterday. The
exercises were beautiful and the crowd
too large for the building.
Rev. h. c. Combs, Of Richmond, the
State Evangelist for the Christian church
delivered On able sermon at the Kappa
hammock church last evening. His sub
Jet was The History OF Christian
Church" lie briefly and iorceiully
sketched the origin and growth OF that
denomination, giving very interesting
and instructive instances and data.
There was a deacons' and ministers
meeting at GIebe Landing Baptist church
the 2sih instant. Mr. Golfer, secretary
Of the Y. NJ. e. A. Of Virginia, was pres
ent and delivered one OF his excellent ad
dresses. MIR Golfers talks to young men
are very impressive.
Rev. Richie Ware. Of kimberland

the RappahannOck Christian church next
Sunday.
The public schools CT this county are
all closed Some Of them had seven
months session. isgreatly hoped that
we may have nine months next year.
There seems 70 be an awakening along
the educational line in this section. and
We do not think that there would be
much grumbling II the additional tax
WAS levied This would mean longer SEES
sions, better buildings aud equipment,
and, as sequence natural enough,
better teachers.

He returned four gallons and took

He knows now that his old paint was
