The Art Exhibit opened Wednesday
evening at the Knights of Pythias
hall with an informal reception which
was we'll attended.
The display of pictures is excellent
indeed. All stages Of art are repre-
scented, beginning with Egyptian
architecture and coming down to
modern American art. The pictures
are all the most careful and faithful
reproductions. The Architectural
subjects are reproduced directly from
the originals, and the reproductions
of the paintings are from the original
canvases.
The views of the temples and
pyramids and statues of the Nile
valley, the photographs of American
scenery and of Moorish architecture
are especially beautiful. There is,
however, little chance for discrimina-
ton as there is not picture shown
that is not of high order. The
arrangement of the Exhibit is first
class and provision is made for a
careful study of the pictures by means
of catalogues, containing descriptions
of the pictures and valuable informa-
ton concerning them. Each picture
is numbered to correspond with the
number of that picture in the
catalogue.
The educational value of visit to
this exhibit can scarcely be over
estimated and we believe that every
child and every adult in Sank Centre,
who can do so, should make it
point to see this beautiful display of
art before the exhibition closes Satur-
day evening.
The music throughout the evening
was much appreciated by all and we
understand that there will be similar
musical program each evening. The
proceeds from the sale of tickets to
the exhibit are to be used by the
public schools of our city for the

GIVE ANOTHER.

The students of the Academy and
Business College will give another
ball on March 3. This dance will
eclipse all previous records-and that
is saying a good deal-the students
have a pretty good idea of how to
conduct a successful party. On
March 3 they will have the Symphony
orchestra, and an elegant supper will
be served at the Adams House.
Those who will be so unfortunate
as to miss this grand event, will have
our profound sympathy. Bring your
friends, cousins and sweethearts and
come out and participate in royal,
good time. Later announcements
will appear in next weeks issue.

purchase of pictures for decorative
purposes.
The money consideration is, how
ever, minor one; the real Importance
of this exhibition lies in its educa-
tionai value and the privilege of
seeing these beautiful works of the
greatest artists of the world.
Persons desiring to purchase
pictures for their homes may make
selections from the exhibit and from
such sales the schools will derive a
benefit. The Exhibition is held at
the Knights of Pythias hall and will
be open each day until and including
Saturday February 18th, from 2 to
10 P. NJ.

BURGLARY AS A ZINE ART.
No Longer Practiced by Adopts, Most
Operators Nowadays Being
Mere Tramps.

Not many years ago the bank burglar
was looked up to by other criminals with
something like reverence. He was re-
! garded, in fact, as the true aristocrat
/ of crime, and was pointed at with fur
| tive admiration upon the streets when
at liberty and in penal institutions when
occasionally deprived of his freedom,
| says the Kansas City Star. Nowadays
| almost every burglary that occurs in
the United States is performed by COM
| mon tramps or hoboes. This situation
is what the racing men would describe
as a startling reversal of form, and it
shows to what depth a once exalted pro-
fession may fall when it passes out of
the hands of those associated with it's
highest flights. Indeed, as compared
with the exploits of the old-timers, or
tool men," as they are technically
known, the burglaries of recent days
or nights-might be described as petty
larceny. for it is a rare occurrence that
more than $4,000 or $4,000 has been in
volved in felonious expeditions during
the last dozen years.
In former times. when the bands or
ganized by 1.-The big fellows" went after
the contents of a banking institution
they took pains beforehand to know that
large amounts of money and securities
were housed in the vaults they had
marked for violation, and they rerely
came away without bringing with them
booty worthy of their enterprise. The
records of thefts by ''yeggmen,' the
bank vault and safe burglars Of to-day
haU oil re
chances of being shot or Imprisoned for
long terms to blow open safes contain
ing amounts as small as $3.50
Few of the oId-time burglars are even
seen nowadays. Some are dead, many
have retired to quiet and unoffendine
occupations and here and there-but not
often-is one who can't resist the habit
Of breaking into the penitentiary. Such

the once celebrated burglar partnership
of Scott and Dunlap, who participated

Scott died in prison and wealthy New

in persistent effort to secure DunIap's
release-in which pursuit she ultimately
succeeded. 1t was thought that the con-

bic living. might take advantage OF il

Gated some OF the foremost of Hawai-
ians, whose names have become his
toric In charge of it have been some
of the most brilliant educators who
have given their work to Hawaii. With
the erection of the Kamehameha
schools, however, period of eclipse
fell upon the establishment. The build
ings were old, the planting had been
in a great measure given up and the
institution was not fulfilling its des
tiny.
Efforts were made by ex-Superin-
tendent Atkinson TO obtain for this
landmark of educational progress in
the Pacific adequate support as far
back as 1900, but it was only last year
that the desired improvements could
be commenced. The pictures shown
above give a fair idea of the new
buildings. There are three L ain build
ings on the terrace overlooking the
town of Lahaina, and taking in land
and seascape which stretches from Ka
hoolawe to Molokai Lahainaluna has
certainly an ideal site.
Of the main buildings the central
will be used for school rooms and as
sembly hall. The rooms are furnished
with up-todate school apparatus and
everything required in molern school
rooms. To left and right of this are
two dormitories, each cent; timing fifty
rooms. The central buii1lng is named
Atkinson Hail. The Others are named
respectively David Malo dormitory, in
honor of the Hawaiian historian, who
was pupil of lie institution. and
Hitchcock dormitory, in memory of II.
r. Hitchcock, who was for many years
Inspector General of Schools, and was
also principal of the institution. Mr..
devoted his life to education
in these Islands, and occupied many
posts beside those mentioned.
In addition to- these buildings, there
is cottage for the principal, cottage
for the assistants, a printing shop, car
penter shop, blacksmith shop, an cleo

tages. A large area of taro land is now
in cultivation, while sweet potatoes and
are raised in considerable
quantities. But let Mr.. G. A. Mac

SAVING FOOD FISHES
IN nAWA|I WATERS

Fish Inspector J. M. Herring is dill
gently enforcing the new law passed
by the Legislature. assigned to pre-
vent the wanton destruction of food
fishes living in the waters of the Ter
ritory.
Last week a number of arrests were
made, principally among japanese for
violating the law with reference to fish
ing with nets, the mesh which meas
ures less than two inches stretched or
one inch square. Heretofore no re-
striction has been placed on the size
of the mesh or opening in nets, ana
the fishermen have been found using
as small as a one-quarter inch mesh
and in some instances mosquito net
ting. In this manner thousands upon
thousands of the young fish were
caught, and when too small to be
eaten Were dumped on the beach. Sew
eral thousand were destroyed at every
haul, until the passage of the Kalama
law, which prohibits the use OF nets or
other contrivances having a smaller
mesh than as prescribed.
By the adoption of a one-inch open
ing, the smaller fish are permitted to
escape and only marketable fish are
caught. Inspector Herring says that
the best Hawaiian food fishes are rap
Idly disappearing. because of the in
discriminate catching of young fish.
Years ago, the waters of Hilo Bay
swarmed with fish and the natives
often waded along the beach with pole
and line and caught quantities of fish
which are now quite rare. He conf
IDENTIFY expects that under the new law
the food fishes win become plentiful
and he has served notice on all net
fishermen that no small mesh nets will
be allowed. There are six crews or
companies of japanese net fishermen
along the Hilo beach, who have been
required to make new nets to conform
with the law and all cast nets will be
similarly modified.
The new law provides penalty for
infraction of the law of not less than
$40 and not more than 5000, or by i'm
prisonment not less than 10 nor more
than 80 days, or by both Imprisonment
and fine. 1t is provided, however, that
young fish may be caught for the pur
pose of restocking ponds or for seem
tiic or aquarium purposes ilo Trib-
