CHAPTER Y.

What it cost me to keep my promise
to attend the club meeting the next day
Can be imagined only by those who have
been through such an experience. l dared
not let Joseph know why / found it
necessary to go downtown. Some in
stinct warned me not to mention that
Club meeting to him, although it burned
in my memory all night.
1t was just when | entered the room.
There had been q short business meeting,
followed by a recess, and now the clans
were Tallying for the election. Mrs. Par
sons was resplendent in gray Paris
gown and chinchilla furs; her rival, Mrs.
Beckett, a nervous little woman, was
radiant in black velvet and Spanish lace.
The friends of each had gathered by nat
ural selection into opposing factions on
each side Of the room. In the middle was
the careworn president with her secre-
taries. the two rival candidates.
AS ] entered, Mrs. Parsons looked up
brightly and beckoned me to a seat near
her. One of the women behind me whis-
pered in answer to question: "Oh, that's
the little friend of DR.. Haven. Mrs. Par
sons seems to have taken her up"
The gavel fell and silence crept over
the whispering women.
The annual election of officers IS next
In ORDER" began the president. Il will
call upon the nominating committee for
their report"
An elderly woman with strong features
and plain black gown came forward.
Your committee, Madam President" she
began, did not fully agree, and we have
therefore two reports to make" Mrs.
OF oil bh tv~ ra-
port and Mrs. Parsons the minority.
1t was as good as a play to me, who
had never seen a woman's business meet
ing, to watch the tellers 60 about their
work and to share in the excitement of
the next forty minutes. The new house
in chaos, the babies who needed me, even
n hungry husband. vanished from the
background of memory and | became al
most recklessly excited. The atmosphere
of the room was tense with excitement.
The very air we breathed was charged
with electricity, so that it was impossible
TO sit quietly; one was drawn into the
play of things as if one had been on the
edge of a maelstrom.
Whom are you going 10 vote for?'
asked the woman next me.
For Mrs. Parsons" l said promptly.
Aren't y0u3"
L don't know" she answered. Mrs.
Beckett's zine presiding officer. but Mrs.
Parsons's got the most money and can
do most for the club
oh, vote for Mrs. Parsons I urged.
She'll make you proud Of this club be
fore the years up"
The woman hesitated a moment and
then wrote Mrs. Parsons name on Der

DR.. W. +. BRIGHAM TALKS
ABOUT LIGHT AND RADiUM

Bishop Hall, Punahou, was crowded
with members of the Research Club
and their friends last night to listen to
DR.. William T. Brigham lecture on
.sRadium, It's Origin and Discovery -
The lecture, which started with the
discovery of the properties of light
some years ago, and illustrated the
different colors which it assumes under
varying conditions, traced each devel-
opment of the study of rays and beams
up to the final discovery of radium.
Dr. Brigham's remarks were ably
supported by a fine collection of Geiss-
Ter tubes, which pictured vividly to the
assembly the differences between the
colors of the spectrum.
The first hour of the lecture traced
the evolution of the electric rays from
the time that DR.. Francis Hawksly in
100 found that mercury in a vacuum
produced flashes of light by friction
on glass to the vari-coIored Geissler
tube and the X-ray.
The lecturer, after giving an inter-
esting series Of practical demonstra-
tions that tubes filled with different
elements gave different colored lights,
then asserted that "all life is nothing
but electricity"
After a learned dissertation on the
X-ray and the cathode ray-practical--
w illustrating that the latter cast
shadow-Dr. Brigham led gradually up
to the discovery of radium. This he
attributed TO Madame Curie and gave
in detail the process by which she iso-
lated radium from pitchblende. He

in existence and quite lively. Police
men are seldom seen in the vicinity of
the rendezvous where the devotees of
the games congregate, and the plain

tenn to notify the players, who gather
on the streets waiting for the winning
words. The All Lima bank employs

THE RIDDLES GO ON.

The riddles which the banks send
out before the drawings, the answers to
which are supposed to give a clue to
the winning word to be announced
later, are still continued. Yesterday s
riddles were from the Hop Lee, All
Kee, Amana and All Lima banks. Here
is one which the All Kee bank put
forth:
''Pololei oil hoolohi mekawahine.
The answer was about as far from
giving a clue as the name of a crab
would mean that statesman was
meant.
The various banks gave out riddles
morning and afternoon, the supposed
eluesS being as follows:
Hop Lea. M, well; p. M, bee.
Amana-a. M, kings ear; P. M,
an eel.
All Kee-a. M, fire; p. M, lion.

MAY BACKS
ADVERTISER
He Signs a Letter Con.
tradicting the
Star.

The subsidized Star has been
brought up short again by signed
letter from J. F. May, which fully en-
dorses all that the Advertiser has
quoted from him save "slight over
statement not connected wi t h
gambling. Mr.. May was seen about
$3.50 O'Clock yesterday afternoon, with
this result:
Honolulu, October 6, 1905.
Editor Advertiser: The only fault
have found with the Advertisers in
terviews with me is minor one about
accusing my Chinese neighbors of
knowing too much about the robbery
of my place. AS FOR THE REST I
HAVE BEEN REPORTED FAITH
FULLY. I signed statement which
the Star brought me but it seemed to
be a harmless one that didn't matter.
(Signed) J. E. MAY.
The above will be a sufficient answer
to the subsidized Stars purported in
eral hours before and which reads as
follows:
Editor Star: The statement
in the Advertiser of this
morning that The Star had
printed a garbled interview
with me, and that I denied its
accuracy, is absolutely untrue.
I have read over the inter
views as published by The
Star and declare them to be
fair and correct versions of
what / told your reporter.

Furthermore the Star said
yesterday that May had pre-
pared a letter demanding
retract.on by the Advertiser,
adding that 'fwhether that
paper will in simple justice
publish the letter or not, re-
mains to be SEEN.
The Advertiser measure
had been correctly taken.
The letter was not published.
This is how the paper tries to
wriggie out of the hole:
''No signed statement from
Mr.. May has been received at
this Office
"How do you account for
that?' May was asked this
morning: "Did you not send
that letter to the Advertiser
after aha"
..Why, I gave it to the Ad-
vertiser reporter who called
here,'' he said; ''I did not
take it to the Office myself
Thus it may easily be seen
why no letter "has been re-
ceived,'' at the Office of the
Advertiser. What could be
simpler.
Here follows this alleged May letter,
the only one received at this Office or
by any reporter. The signature is the

From the above Star interview, in
connection with what follows, one can
plainly see that the subsidized Star
has deliberately misquoted Mr.. May
on the subject of the alleged letter.

and commence business this evening.
He was to have installed a billiard
table in the place, as sort of blind.

to leave the rooms as the rent they paid

Mrs. George J. Steese, of 7oI coburn

letter of another of those remarkable
cures of torturing, disfguring skin
humors daily made by Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointm ent,
after physicians, and all else had
failed: "I feel it my duty to parents

used everything recommended, but
without results. ! called in three doc
tors, they all claimed they could help
her, but she continued to grow worse.
Her body was a mass of sores, and her
little face was eaten away, her ears
looked as If they would drop off.

Several narrow escapes from seri-
Gus fires have recently been expert
enced on South Thompson street, in
the vicinity of the high school build
ing. There is not a hydrant nor a
foot of fire hose in the entire district
and property is jeopardized every
day by this condition of affairs.
Within the past two years, 10 new
houses have been built in that i'm
mediate vicinity and are today with
no fire protection whatever. \ hyd-
rant near the school building with zoo
feet of hose would protect the entire
community from fire, and by permis-
sion of the city council, the hose and
hydrant could be used in summer to
sprinkle the streets where the
sprinkling wagons do not go. This
subject is worthy of the councils at
tention. The matter should not be
delayed until some family is left
homeless.
