HARVARD MEN OF FAME. . 20.

Hawaii's identity through persona
links with American enlightenment ant
progress, as well as Americas storm
and shine, is every now and then crop
ping up among varied "reminiscences
One of the latest instances appears in
the Saturday Evening Post (Philadel-
phial of January 80. Discussing First
Scholars as First Men, that literary
journal mentions a recent number of a
magazine published at Harvard Univer-
sity as giving list of the first ten
scholars of each of the classes that
graduated in the sixth decade of the
last century at that institution. The
Saturday Evening Post comments that
the list is itself significant as regards
individuals" and ALSO more significant
in respect to high rank in college as
giving ground for the assurance of dis
tinction in life itself
Many names of leaders in Harvard's
classes of the period stated are given,
with mention of high positions in public
life and as scholars to which they at
lalIeu. AHlDdsStuOE JOSSph IL 1hoottC'
Governor Robinson of Massachusetts,,
and John D. Long, Secretary of the
Navy, Member of Congress and Gov
ernor. of Massachusetts, are in the list,
and General A. S. Hartwell, a veteran
of the Union army, whose home has
long been and is now in Honolulu, is
referred to in this sentence: "In the
class of 1858 are found the names of
Wentworth and Cilley, teachers in
Phillips Exeter Academy, and of Hart
well, Justice of the Supreme Court and
Attorney, General of Hawaii The con- |
clusions at which the Saturday Even |
ing Post arrives are as follows:
The idea has been altogether too
common that first scholars do not be- |
come first men in after life. The idea |
is, on. the whole, false. The powers that /.
win in the law, the ministry and other
forms of public service are the qualities
that win in the classroom. In fact, as |
one compares the names of the first ten !
scholars of these ten classes of Har- !
ward University with the names of all !
the other members of the same classes |
lit is easy to see that among these ten /
names are found the names of men OF /
greater distinction than are found in i
all the remaining names of any class. !
In a class, for instance, of ninety MEM !
bers the first ten scholars represent I
greater distinction than the names of /
the other eighty.

BALTIMORE BURNING.

AS this issue of the Advertiser goes
to press, Baltimore is burning down.
Already an immense gap has been
gouged out of its richest business sec
ton, representing fifty million dollars
gone up in flame and smoke, and the
rest of the city is in grave peril. The
fire department is utterly beaten in
the fight, and assistance is implcred
from neighboring cities. 1t is one of
the great fires of history.

Once, after a matinee Joseph Jeffer-
SON was persuaded to take behind the
scenes several pretty girls who had
just watched his portrayal of Rip Van
Wrinkle from a box. 'Oh Mr. Jeffer-
SON." exclaimed the prettiest of the
girls, while he was showing them
around; we enjoyed your performance
so much: but, do you know, we could
hardly hear a word you said" The
comedian smiled good humoredly.
Wen, I should say that was strange"
replied he, for I distinctly heard every
word you young ladies uttered,'

teachers eye, should never be set
pupil for home work

Editor Robertson of the Maui News
believes in coming up to county govern
ment gradually. through amendments
TO the Organic Act by Congress. This
is what he says:
1t nov seems definitely settled that
Congress viii not attempt 10 make a
county bill for the Territory Of Hawaii
But what Congress should do would be
10 amend the Organic Act, dividing the
Territory into counties along the lines
of the recent county bill and adding
some features of county government
These could be further added to as fast
as we can assinilate them, until We are
ready for complete county government.

What Alderdce OF all men, needed, was an object
In life. He did not have long to wait
There thing that he tired to push back
into the lnmost recesses of his mind 1t was the
lack of money. He aware in hazy sort of
fashion that his pile was dwndling from day day
but he didn't like to think about it.
Billy Wilkins of the County National Bank forced
the fact upon his attention. Bill wrote a letter in his
usual breezy style.

that they're holding your job for you here right along

letter put AlderdCe into good humor but when he

rest a matter of pure mathematical computation.
After dinner Alderdce went down into the town.
miserable town 1t was, too, IN measure. Clean
enough and respectable enough, but a town that
clinging to the skirts of Carlsbaden Inn.
Slowly and painstakingly Alderdce traversed it from
end to end but there nothing for him And yet
he must stay there. Dwight had said Alderdice
realized it.

men who were looking for Jobs but it did not supply
