Statement for March Completed by De-
 pertinent.
 The report of the police department for March gives an idea of the rapid growth of work in that department of the city government.
 The number of persons arrested for various offenses during the month were 323. In the same month of 1904, 313 persons came under the eye of the Recorder.
 Cash to the amount of $S46.3O was collected in March from various sourc- es. From cash fines, $637.75 was re- ceived and from fines on back cases. the amount collected was $122.50. The payment for work furnished by female convicts amounted to $19.05. Loose cattle taken up by the police and lodged in the city pound caused the payment of S65.50 from the pockets of careless owners and $1.50 was received for hauling dead stock.

 Street Railway Controversy. Judge J. B. Gaston, presiding over the Probate Court of Montgomery
 County. yesterday sustained the de- murrers of the Montgomery Street Railway to the petition of the Mont- gomery Traction Company to condemn certain lands in order that the com pany might operate a street car line out through Capitol Heights. to Elec- tric Park.
 The demurrer of the Street Railway alleged that the bill of the Montgom- cry Traction Company did not show that that company intended to con- struct street car line through the property proposed to be condemned, and therefore it had no right to ask for condemnation. This ground was sustained by Judge Gaston.
 Counsel for the Traction Company was given leave, to amend the petition to conform to the ruling of the court

HEROISM IN THE PINES.

One of the most impressive re-
ligious services | ever attended,
one which moved me deeply,
| want to briefly des-
cribe to you, and mayhap in the
scene and surroundings there may
be something of help to those who
toll in mission fields, home or for
eign; something, perhaps, of slim
ulation to those who give of their
substance to advance the cause of
Christ in the slums, on the far from
tier, or in the blackness of heathen-
dom.
1t was half-past five o'clock on
a wintry afternoon in early De-
cember, 1895 There was SHIN
mer of starlight through the rift
in the roof where the stovepipe
and the pine shingles failed to
meet by several inches. The room
was cold. A huge box stove on
one side kept the air warm for
those who sat nearest it, half
dozen serious faced folk, in humble
attire. I sat on a low school seat
bench, and my heavy overcoat was
hardly proof against the singing
cold. In front of me stood a rude
desk on which two kerosene lamps
made sad show of illumination. The
room had no plastering, no furnish
ings. The building was made of
pine boards with a covering of tar
red paper, and was used for a
school house.

FOOD.

We happened to throw, for Our
own convenience, Our crumbs out
of side window when 10! one
morning we began to realize that
there was a very unusual chirping
and chipping of birds; and SO it
is with every little word of truth
and help that we send out often
without direct aim or intent to hit
or help anyone; but, if we grow
the habit of helping in every even
trif1ing way we can until it becomes
a very part of us-never seeing evil
really in anyone never thinking of
uncanny things but always looking
up up making others look up too
in spite of themselves, making
someone more content more happy
even for a moment why we shall
hear singing and JOY in place of
murumur and repine and fret and

sit on the curb-stone Eve ought to
have good curbs) and white and
whistle than to go sauntering down
the street finding everything all
wrong all the very worst in Mister
or Supt. or Governor Somebody.
Oh for gracious sake! make the
birds sing and all the trees to clap
their hands. We like a merry noise
sometimes if it's only a couple of
taro-patch fddles with Our dear
old-time natives padding up the
Pail, (auwe)
At all rates we must, do. We
are commanded to do and that is
all we have to do is to do and to
have faith and go on with that
doing even where we, with Our
mortal eyes, can see no results
our Father will take care of our
work. And the birds will sing.
We rather like frank at times but
blunt is far removed from the
Gentle clan. 1t savors of the boor
and the present-plebeian and never
patrician. Not exactly the pattern
of Col. Newcomes."

COMMUNICATIONS OF 4
NOBLE GIFT TO PUNA-

APRIL 10, 1905
Wherein every number in that
program was flawless gem of ex-
quisite taste and fitness we may be
permitted by Our readers to say and
to think that the loving and faith
full tribute of the son, Rev. DR..
Hiram Bingham to his parents was
the truest and most excellent that
could have been framed by affection
and loyalty. New gifts of twenty,
ten and fifty thousand dollars,
stated by the Hon. P. c. Jones,
have come in to the College.
(Truly "of little one God has
made thousand') But more
than that will be needed. A COL
lege in order to keep in sanitary
condition needs to swallow and
digest a good deal-(that is in or
der) (good form Ed.

glad" Gas Kentucky would say) to
know that the Hon. Claus Spreckels
is here again and we'll all help him
to get strong and we'll in our dear
rainbow-land. We do hope heW
stop round year. And then again
there's Mr.. Irwin, why does he ever
leave us. We are putting vital
questions for Hawaii. Y oh Y. (2

SPRECKELS.
His own niche in Hawaii has
been empty indeed for twelve years
for no other man could ever fill it
and it is a comfort and moral
support to see again the name on
Our passenger list Can we not
have a Spreckels Square some
where in the business part of Ho-
nolulu Is there not room, slicing
off the ancient corners, at top of
Emma ST., or say taking in strip
of estate opposite the R. T. Office !?
More squares would be of prac-
teal benefit in the town. Breath

cuses etc. We need more Germans
here anyway; too scanty few. But

choicer lot. "Fact."
