 The temporary stopping of the work on the new Christian Church ct the cor ner of Selma and Franklin Streets yes terday afternoon caused the report 10 be circulated that the contract for the building of the church had been taken away from the contractor. W. w. Mc- Gibbon. The report was also current thM Contractor McGibbon had made the preliminary arrangements and had re- tainsd counsel and would institute snt for damage against the Building CoSs- mittee of the church.
 McGibbon is under a large bond to build the church and the temporary ces- sation of work was probably the cause of the report that the contractor would sue the church. Work was stopped on the church at noon yesterday. but to. day at . o'clock 1t was again started and will be pushed forward to compie- ton.
 R. F. Holroyd. who is a partner in the building of the church with Con tractor McGibbon, stated today that the work on the church had not been stopped. He stated that MT. McGibbon was out of the city and that yesterday

 Adolph Dame. candidate for City Clerk. favored an early primary, suf- Gesting the last week in November.
 Max Michael, candidate for Recorder. said that, inasmuch as those entitled to vote as late as February could also vote in November he favored the earlier date. He was in line with MT. Dame.
 D. D. Langan. a candidate for City Tax Collector, favored November pri- mary.
 A. s. Lyons. candidate for Alderman. like Mir. Michael, thought that Novem- Der would do as we'll as February.

rlth the rrea,e.t enthusIasm.

with the greatest enthusiasm.
The work OF Kapellmelster Berger In
connection with the Developments the
Hawaiian band has been one filled with
hard ana consistent effort. when he
arrived he found people naturally
musical, but without knowledge of Its
expression. He has drilled the band
most thoroughly in every respect. He
personally has taught each player how
to handle his instrument and the or
chestrai success Is due more to the
thorough training the men received at
his hands than to any natural apti-
tude.
Upon his arrival Professor Berger
found in the person of Governor Domi-
mis- a true friend. During all the early
years of band development Governor
Dominis saw to 1t, that the band was
cared for in appropriations, and in
many ways showed his friendship and
interest. 1t was natural then that the
first piece of music composed by the
new leader was the John Dominis
March" This selection was great
favorite not only with the men but
with the people in the earlier days, and
is played occasionally yet.
Soon after he became a permanent
resident on the islands, Profess
sor Berger began his collection
of Hawaiian airs known as "Mele Ha-
wall" This collection, which he ar
ranged for the band and orchestra, is
most complete in that 1t has been the
foundation of much of the modern of
Hawaiian music, and includes the best
known numbers. Kalakaua and Liliu-
okalani each composed works which
were orchestrated by the leader, and
are still prominent selections in the
bands repertoire.
Not only was this work done but
Professor Berger for fifteen years play
ed the organ at Kawaiahao church and
for five years was singing instructor
in the public schools. He organized
the band at the Reform School and that
OF the Kamehameha School, and Is re-
sponsible for perhaps a dozen musical
organizations in the islands. He COM
posed the national anthem and to him
is due the great musical development
lamong the people.
The service of the Hawaiian band
under Berger has been remarkable. Ir
addition to the thousands of public con
certs which he has given, he has play
ed upon the national holidays of al
nations at the various embassies ant
lconsulates, has played at charitable
concerts and at affairs of every charac
ter, has led the army of three king
and one queen here; played. with tn,
victorious forces of two Prussian SOW
ereigns as we'll as In the navy OF hi
native land; under the changing politi
cal regimes here, and is at length al
American citizen. The present bant
with it's thirty members represents tn
devotion of leader to his organization
during thirty-three years of trying life
