SUCCESS
Many Society People
Attend Barton
Concert.

Some four hundred society people
gathered at the Moana Hotel last even
ing to listen to the Barton concert and
participate in the informal dance that
followed. The spacious breakfast room
OF the hotel was crowded with people
when the concert began and many
stood in the hall. Mrs Gerard Barton
opened the program with two piano
forte selections, Arensky's Prelude in
A Minor and the beautiful Schubert
Prudential Ziguener Marsch. Mrs.
Barton we'll deserved the applause she
received for she not only played with
faultless technique but with unusual
feeling and expression.
There is little need to comment upon
the work of Mr.. Fred. Butler, the
basso. His work during the evangel-
istic campaign has given him a reputa-
ton among Honolulu musical people as
a soloist of the very first rank. His
three songs last night. Tschaikowsky's
Pilgrim Song ITO My First Love"
by Lohr and Honour and Arms by
Handel, showed his magnificent voice
to advantage and brought him well
merited applause.
The third part of the program was
the cantata, "Hiawatha's Wedding
Feast by Coleridge- Taylor sung by
Mr.. Arthur Wall and the chorus. 1t
was excellently rendered and much en-
joyed by the audience. Following the
musical program there was an informal
dance. A quintet club was in attend
ance and many remained to dance I'M

BY 4 CAR
japanese Boy Jumps
Under Wheels and ~
Dies.

The life of little japanese boy was
crushed out beneath the wheels of an
electric car on the King street line at
Pawaa junction at half past nine last
night. The boy, who was about ten
years old, was a. passenger with his
father. Okumoto and his mother on one
of the cars arriving at the junction at
the hour named. His parents alighted
from the car and stopped to talk with
friends while the boy clambered into
the WaiaIae road car which was stand
The parents did not notice that the car
had started and left them but the boy
soon discovered that his parents were
not on the car and jumped off right in
to car No. A which was following the
Waialae car but On the makai track.
Motorman Schultz threw on his brakes
at once but to no purpose as the boy
had struck the car as he jumped. The
wheels passed over his neck, the head
and left arm being practically severed.
The body was otherwise terribly man
gled. The patrol wagon was summon
ed and the remains taken to the morgue
where they were examined by Drs. Nc
Donald and Moore. A coroner's jury
was sworn in and viewed the body. The
inquest will be held at 7:30 tonight. AS
far as the police could learn no blame

the boy struck the car the moment he
jumped. There were some witnesses
who were Of the opinion that the boy
leaned out too far and lost his balance
and fell accidentally although most are
agreed that he jumped.

on Powers in his cell and astonished

CHICAGO TRANSFERS
Indulge in TaIkfest Which Has Little
Result.

Chicago, July 1.-THE teamsters'
joint council had lengthy session to-
night in regard to the trouble about
the refusal of the baggage and parcel
delivery drivers in employ of the local
express companies to strike because of
the formation of the Chicago Carriage
Co. was threshed over again. Presi-
dent Lapp of the mutinous union, said
his men did not see any reason why
they should strike as long as their en-
ployers used the carriage company only
for deliveries to strike-bound houses,
There was a heated discussion, and
committees were sent to confer with
representatives of the express compa-
mes. After their return there was
more argument, and when the meeting
adjourned at 1890 President Shea an
DCunced that If the carriage company
continues in business "a hours longer
the baggage and parcel men will be
ordered to strike or lose their standing
IN the brotherhood. 1t remains to be
seen what effect this threat will have
on the 400 express drivers.
Not one of the officials present at
the joint council meeting would discuss
the slugging affray at the federation
election Sunday, except to deplore it as
an unfortunate affair.

HORRIBLE ATROCITIES
Perpetrated by Russians on the Battle
Field.

Portsmouth, Va, July 17.-Miss
Clara j. Neely, missionary who has
spent the last six years in Japan, ar
lived here today and talked interest
ingly on the war in the far east. Re-
ports of Russian atrocities on the bat
tlefeld, she says, are most appalling.
In some cases ferocious bulldogs ara
alleged to have been turned loose by
them after the battle to kill the
wounded.
Miss Neely tells an interesting and
amusing anecdote of Admiral Togo.
Called out to meet many visitors and
admirers, Of whom she was one, the
little great man, diffident as a school
gir,, jerked queer, embarrassed bo "
and literally ran from his callers.
Three of his sons have been killed in
the battle, but he has not sent their
ashes home, saying that when he is
killed all four funeral urns will go
home together.
