not likely that she will be coming

programme will contain more numbers

range of music, both classic and what
The latter title of course refers to the
from collection made by Madame
Slapoffski which contains many gems
not generally known to the concert stage
and all of more or less dramatic quality.
The superlative beauties of the really
great singers voice will be revealed
chiefly tonight in the star numbers of
various operas by European composers.
There will be another Wagner number

satisfaction of many who have asked

WANTS HIS
EXTRA CLERK PAID


Judge Kalua has addressed a com
Inunication to Governor Carter asking
him to recommend an appropriation for
the pay of an extra deputy clerk, em-
ployed in his court during the months
of October and November. This is the
clerk, whose services were required
evidently to do the work, while Kalua's
regular clerk, Crook, made his campaign
for county auditor on Maui. The judge
asks that the deputy be allowed the
usual clerks salary, saying that he
would have drawn on the treasury for
the amount but for the fact that there
was no appropriation available for that
purpose Judge Kalua has also sent his
clerk to Honolulu to make recommends
ations to the Governor as to the needs
of his circuit and also to tell of the
condition of the Maui courthouse.

To Be Depended On
Because It Is the Experience
of a Honolulu Citizen and
Can Readily be IN
vestigated.

A stranger lest in q large city would
place far more dependence on the di-
rections given him by a local resident
than the guidance of another stranger
like himself. This fs q natural conse-
Quence of experience; it's like a ship
in q strange port-a trusty pilot fami-
liar with the harbor is always called
upon to bring her safely to her moor
ings. So it is with endorsement; we
doubt the sayings OF people living at
distant point because we can't inyeSti-
gate. but public expression of local
citizens can be depended upon, for tits
an easy matter to prove 1t. Evidence
like the following is beyond dispute

MUSIC OF
The ORIENT
The Filipino Band is
Heard on Roof
Garden.

The famous Filipino Constabulary
Band of eighty-three pieces gave its
initial American concert last evening
on the Roof Garden of the Alexander
Young Hotel. and achieved a signal
success. This was not unexpected, for
the band has a reputation for musical
excellence in the Philippine archipelago
which has been heralded around the
world
A large audience of Honolulans as
sembled upon the Roof Garden which
was even too small for the crowd. 1t
was probably the largest gathering OF
people ever held on the Roof Garden
at such short notice, for it was not
known generally until afternoon that
the band would give a public concert
Seventy out of the eighty-three MEM
bers participated in the music, the
program numbers being selections OF
the highest order. The effect of such
large aggregation of reed and metal
instruments was one of beautiful mel
ody, duIcet tones softened by the use
of every known modern Instrument
employed in band. Salvos OF APP
plause greeted the conclusion of each
number, and at the end Lieut.. Loving,
theb andmaster, was warmly congrat-
ulated by a number of Honolulu musi-
caliy inclined people for the treat they
had enjoyed. 1t is safe to say that no
such concert has ever before been
heard in Honolulu.
From the overture to the rendition
of the star Spangled Banner the audi
enee was in raptures. The blending
of the instruments, the tempo techni-
que and shading were all that could
be desired. If the leader was Souza-
like, his band was not less so than the
led by the famous com-
poser of THE Stars and Stripes
The Filipino Constabulary Band is
unique in many respects. 1t is only
year and half DID, since Lieut.. Loving
became the bandmaster. Every MEM
Der reads music at sight, and no music
is too difficult for them TO give almost
at the first practice. Many were MEM
pers of MINIS Filipino Band in exist
ence years ago, and not few were
in the band organized by Aguinaldo
when he set himself up as the Filipino
dictator.
The band has a new set OF instru-
ments presented by the Civil Commits
sion OF the Philippines. The instru-
ments are Conn's best output and are
valued at about $4,000. There are
clarinets, oboes. English horns, sar-
mellaphones, bassoons.
French horns, comets.
flutes, piecolos, soIizaphones. In this
set are forty-six reed and twenty-four |
metal instruments.
First Lieut.. w. H. Loving, who bids |
fair to become second Souza, is of |
African descent, and during the Span
sh war was a lieutenant in the Eighth |
immune Regiment, and later first |
lieutenant in the Forty eighth volun- /
.eer regiment, which passed through
Honolulu In 1899. He is a magnetic |
eader to whom every bandsman is de-
7oted. His baton-movements are sim
de yet expressive.

CLOVER SEED
OF NILE REGION

Yesterdays meeting of the Board of
Agriculture and Forestry was attended
by Messrs L. A. Thurston, w. M. Gift
fard, c. S. Heiloway, James D. Dole,
and Forester Hosmer. Only routine
matters were discussed.
Forester Hosmer reported the follow
ing sales of plants from the Govern
ment Nursery: April I, S64.45; April
2, $I7.35; April 4, S37.85; April 5, $Io.-
So; total, SI3o.45.
BERSEEN CLOVER SEED.
David G. Fairchild, who visited EIo-
nolulu about six years ago with Bar
bour Lathrop, sent to the Board eight
pounds of berseen clover seed. Ber-
seen clover is the best and the principal
forage cropt of Egypt This seed must
be sown on rich and well irrigated lands,
the crop IS cut about fifty days after
planting, and, as it grows rapidly in
warm weather, it can be cut several
tunes after the first crop is taken off.
1t IS said that it can be grown well on
rice or taro land 1t is grown chiefly
IN the Nile Valley in Egypt and should
the eight pounds of seed sent here at
this time do well considerable amount
OF berseen clover might be planted here
later. Mr.. Thurston suggested that
some of the seed be sent to the farmers
of Wahiawa for trial and there are
Others who desire to experiment with
the seed here.
Forester Hosmer reported that the
Hawaiian Stockbreeders ASSOCIATION
had turned over their library, contain
ing books concerning agriculture in
Hawaii, to the Board for safe-keeping
and that the books had been placed
among Others in the library of the
Boards new quarters.
In accordance with the Boards cur
tailment of expenses four men had been
from the Nunanu Forest
Station.

Nuuanu Valley and in the Tantalus
forest he stated that there had been
many applications for such permits ard
tilat IN some cases the applicants stated
tnat they wished to secure the ferns 10
decorate their homes during the times
that iuaus were to be held. 1t was de-
cided to permit the forester to use his
discretion IN the matter.
LEASES OF KONA LANDS.
Concerning the applications of Por-
tuguese tor the lease OF two parcels OF
land IN North and South Kona for
ranchlng purposes letters were read from
the foresteTs OF those districts which OBJ
posed the granting of the leases on the
grounds that II would be injurious to
the forests. Mr.. Hosner stated that
he understood that the Portuguese were
already buying cattle to stock the pro-
posed ranches The Board deferred
action until the forester could inspect
the lands as important principles con-
corning the granting of leases on forest
lands are involved
INTERESTED IN FORESTRY.
Wilmot Vredenberg, hon.esteader,
who lives in the tract above Wainea,
Hawan, asked the Board to appoint him
forest ranger for that district, at a sal
airy OF one dollar year, and also that
forest reservation be established
there. The honlesteads in that region
are not fenced and Mr.. Vredenberg
complained of cattle from the ranches
damaging the homesteads. The Board
took no action as Forester Hosmer will
soon visit that portion of Hawaii and
go over the whole question of estab-
fishing forest reservation for the dis
trict.

Record of New Vessel for Lake Trade

A dispatch from North Sydney. N. s.,
says: The arrival here of the Turbina, the
new passenger turbine steamer built at New
castle on Tyne for the Hamilton Turbine
Steamboat Company of Canada, marks an
important epoch in the annals of Ameri-
can shipping, as she is the first mercantile
boat fitted with turbine engines to cross
the Atlantic. She came around from New
castle by the north of Scotland, making
record run of 23A miles an hour between
that port and Stornoway, although she ex-
perienced head winds and gales all the
way and came around by Cape Race.
Besides being a passenger boat she is
built with huge Lighthouses for the lake
trade. She made the run between land and
land in six days, consuming on an average
only fifty tons of coal day.

Anacostia Celebrates.

The Anacostia Methodist Episcopal
Church, corner Of Jackson and Pierce
Streets contained an audience Of large
proportions last evening at the ceremonies
held under the auspices of John A. Logan
Relief Corps, No. Z, in commemoration of
Flag day. The edif1ce was tastefully deco
rated. The exercises were under the di-
rection of Mrs. Jane Mclean, assisted by
Mrs. Eliza P. Watson, the president of the
corps. Several Of the speakers upheld In
the course of their remarks the statement
that to the local Grand Army post belongs

Chairman Dony introduced General Ar

was listened to attentively.
Chairman Dony4 called attention to what
he said was the fact that an error had been
made in connection with giving credit

instrumental in inaugurating Flag day cere-
monies. 1.-The facts are" said Mr.. Dony
that February q, 1891 flag was pre-

Significance Of Mission.

To sum up the significance of this politi-
cal mission of Porto Rico's native repub-
lean big six to Chicago. they go to seek
more power and more offees for Porto
Ricans. There is an honest difference of
opinion here as to whether the time has ar
rived cor the granting of that increased
power
In an extensive extra session of the legis-
lature, just ended, which was called to pass
a $1,000 600 loan BILL the Americans and
the natives split hopelessly, the natives in
sisting that the money should be spent
while the Americans with equal firmness
declared it should be expended through gov
eminent channels for roads, schools and
other public necessities.
The enabling act was unanimously passed
by both legislative branches, but the native
BILL introduced in the house, and requiring
long term loans by local banks to agricul-
turistS claShed with the American council
bill AMI after many long conferences both
bills were beaten.
1t is evident that instead of getting closer
to each other the Americans and natives
are viewing each other with suspicion in
all matters political, hence inside news as
to Washington's attitude Is awaited with
keen interest, as is also the Chicago plat
form plank on Porto Rico. Colonial expert
menting has reached a vitality delicate stage
politically and the question of the hour here
is as to whether the big SIX will return
depressed or with spiked clubs.
