counts as hereinabove shown.
RICHARD H TRENT,
County Treasurer.
Adams thought that the clerk had
probably sent the treasurer only copies
of the Boards resolutions authorizing
payments, neglecting to notify him of
the expanding of certain sums.
Auditor Bicknell reported in this con-
nection that Mr.. Trent had been noti-
fed of numerous motions authorizing
had insisted that resolutions were
necessary.
The chair said that the Boards legal
advisor had rendered an opinion to the
effect that appropriations could be
made by resolution or motion.
Superintendent of Public Works Hol-
loway wrote the Board to the effect
that all prison labor had been with
county would be at no further expense
in this respect. !
Andrew Adams wrote that the Koo-
laupoko road board was minus ami
mails. instruments or property to ac-
count for. !. aassa
e. r. Adams stated that the Board
had hired what they needed.
A bunch of communications of more
or less personal import was read.
Adams presented resolution to the
following effect:
That the ability and honesty of Sam
Johnson, superintendent of the Garbage
Department, is not doubted by the
Board of Supervisors.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted.
Adams ordinance, making IT a mis-
demeanor for laundrymen to spray
clothes by ejecting water from the
mouth, was read for the second time
and passed
Lucas suggested the construction Of
three small parks, at the foot Of Nu-
uanu, Smith and Maunakea streets. on
the waterfront adjoining the inter-is-
land wharves. This will save macad-
amizing and beautify that particular
section of the city.
The suggestion was unanimously ap-
proved.

hugh, who dropped dead at St Louis
yesterday, was the last known surviv-
ing officer of the Confederate States
senate, having been sergeant-at-arms

CHRISTIAN CITIZEN
DIR. Ira ID. Landrith Lectures on "a
Citizen, Though n Christian"

From the St Louis Republic OF
July 81 we clip the following account
of lecture delivered Sunday by DIR.
Ira ID. Landrith. formery of this
Icounty:
| The Reverend Doctor Ira d. Land
rith, regent of Belmont College for
Women at Nashville, Tenn, preach
ed yesterday morning at Chautauqua
on the subject of civic righteousness.
taking as his theme. "A Citizen,
Though a Christian"
| The sermon was plea for more
active influence of the righteous
citizen in politics. Doctor Landrith
declared that the preacher had a
right in politics and in reply to the
lpurchasable and iniquitous politician
who said be had no right in politics
he hurled back the challenge. You
hafe no business in politics, and If
right and wrong are involved | have
no business staying out"
Doctor Landrith has been pre-emi-
nent in the work of bringing about
legislative action in Tennessee pro-
hibiting race-track gambling and
was also chairman of the executive
committee and president of the
Committee OF One Hundred which
successfully undertook to break up
gambling and Sunday saloons in
Nashville, In this work he was asso-
ciated with the Reverend Doctor +.
E. Folk. a brother of Governor Folk
Doctor Landrith believes that every
minister and every other good man
should take an active interest in poll
tics, and should vote against his own
party when the party Is bad, but he
believed that a minister should not
be partisan.
The sermon was based on the fol-
lowing propositions;
That the Christian citizen should
know what is going on in political
circles from the city TO the national
capital
That the Christian citizen should
be sufficiently independent to vote
and work against his own party and
It's policies and nominees when they
are wrong
Taat the Christian citizen ought
to be first a Christian. then a parti-
san. If a partisan at all. and should
be as good ia the primary as in the
prayer meeting at the election as in
his pew
That the Christian citizen ought
TO BE- the busiest Of men in elections,
voting right and influencing others
TO do likewise. and ne ought TO hold
office when needed aud see that none
but worthy men are elected
That the Christian citizen ought
not TO tire OF seil-dolng in politics !
Keeping everlastingiy at it is his
civic duty whether he goes tor men
for office, the enactment OF good |
laws or the enforcement of existing
laws

leave after Home Sweet Home was

John L. talks like a rapid fire, au-
tomato rife, at first probably to get
away from the automatic philosophy
which his blacksmith author has laid
out for him, and when this portion is
over, and he begins to tell stories,
usually on himself, he has gotten so in
the habit of jerking out his words that
he cannot get over it. On several oc-
casions he essays dialect in his STORIES
but even a, critical ear could not diff
ferentiate between his Irish and
Zebraic and probably both are Bos-
tOnese Irish. His voice is good and
his presence and personality are grand
and he never faIters throughout the
