Yesterday will he a red letter day
in the history of Honolulu, for it was
the day on which the public-spirited
citizens of the city sent to the sufferers
of San Francisco $4,000 gold coin, the
first of a relief fund which promises to
be almost three times that sum.
The Relief Committeeman are hard
at work and the results are satisfac-
tory to those of the active corps. The
collectors have played no favorites,
every one has been. or will be, called
upon to do the best he can for the
cause.

tion of Excelsior Lodge, I. o. o. F.,
last night would indicate preference
on the part of that body to have the
Grand Lodge attend to distributing
the fund. The fact is the subcommit-
tee was so busy yesterday that the
gentleman delegated to attend to send
ing in the request did not get the
time to do so. At regular meeting
of the Lodge last night the following
resolution was adopted:
Whereas The city of San Francisco
has been devasted by earthquake and
confiagration, and
Whereas Much destitution and suf-
fering has resulted therefrom,
BE 1t Resolved, That the Noble
Grand of Excelsior Lodge, l. o. o. F.,
cable to the Relief Committee of the
I. o. o. F. at San Francisco that the
sum OF $1,000 has been appropriated and
is available to be drawn upon in such
amounts as may be necessary to re-
lieve the needs of distressed Odd Fell
lows in that city
1t is probable the committee will wait
on the other orders today and secure
the donations.
MYSTIC LODGE ACTS.
Mystic Lodge No. 2, X. of P. last
night donated $500 to the San Fran
cisco sufferers The money will be
sent to the Pythian relief committee.
AS the lodges in San Francisco become
reorganized, the lodges here will send
them further aid, being in a position
to do so. Among other things. the
lodges here have plenty of spare re-
gala, and this can be forwarded.
There are a large number of lodges in
California, the state membership being
1000, so there will be no lack of help.
There are 20 Pythian lodges in San
Francisco, with a probable membership
of 1000.
COURT CANOES ACTS.
! AT the meeting of Court Canoes, A.
o. F., held last night, it was voted to
apply 5000 from the lodge treasury to
the San Francisco Relief Fund The
excursion and dance, which had been
arranged for at the Peninsula for
May s. was also indefinitely postponed
because of the disaster to the Coast
city.
MONEY NEEDED.
NJ. C. Pacheco, the financial secre-
tary of Court Canoes, No. $40, A. o.
F., has received the following cable
from John Falconer, the permanent
secretary of the A. O. f. in San Fran
cisco: New address 1922 Webster
street Oakland. Great distress; send
donations, Falconer."
This proves that the action taken by
the different fraternal bodies of Homo
lulu has been timely. Court Canoes
meets this evening to consider relief
of distressed Foresters in stricken San

Halloween Spirit.

The Youngsters have already caught
the hallow cen spirit and the streets
are becoming pretty noisy at night.
Last evening some boys appeared on
the street with horns, but they were
promptly repressed by the chief-of
police. who read the law to the youth
ful screnaders in emphatic terms
Time was when it was customary to
begin the celebration of hallow e'en
about two weeks before the date on
which it occurred and to keep it up
for a week or so afterwards. 1t was
very entertaining to the youngsters
but life was hardly worth living TO the
other seven-tenths of the population.
No considerate person who has not
forgotten that he himself once, was
young, will deny the juveniles the
privilege of observing halloween with
ali that such observance implies. but
let the saturnalian TevelTY as far as
possible be confined to one night. This
should be quite sufficient for all sensi-
bic young people who have been taught
that older persons have rights which
they are bound to respect.
Chief Mincemoyer has succeeded i'll
keeping the observance of the Fourth
of July within sane and sensible
limit and it is probably not going too
far to assert that he will succeed III
holding down the youngsters when it
comes to hallowe en-. Meanwhile all
lovers of comparative good order and
quiet will applaud his efforts

Flooded With BuCkWheat.

Although there have been reports of
a shortage in the buckwheat crop in
some sections, the experience of Ben
ton miller yesterday would seem to
contradict the reports, says the Blooms
burg Daily.
John Mather, of Benton, was in
need of quantity of buckwheat, and
fearing that he could not get the sup
ply he wanted, he started an agent out
through the country in an effort to
buy up buckwheat at 60 cents bushel.
In two hours he was offered more
buckwheat than he could use. Other
millers report the same conditions.

concrete WORK
IS COMPLETED
Employed in Painting d,
l. & w. Station-Fine
improvements.

The ID. l.. e W. railroad company
Yesterday completed the extensive con.
crete work embracing station platform
and lengthy walk down to Church
street. ON which a large force of work
men were employed for nearly four
weeks. The concrete gang is now
off the ground and their place is
occupied by the painters who are Civ
ing the station and other buildings a
new coat of paint. All lmust agree that
the ID. L. q w. railway company is
showing a vast amount of enterprise
and the sum total of improvements
made is rather more than was to be
expected in one season.
Embracing platform and pavement
leading TO Church street, the stretch
of concrete work constructed is over
five hundred feet in length. The plat
form was completed last week. The
pavement. which was thrown open to
the public yesterday, is very fine af-
fair and is a feature that will be es-
pecialIy appreciated by the travelling
public.
Before the concrete pavement was
constructed, people on approaching or
leaving the station walked close along
side the track which, when trains
were passing made it Just little
dangerous. The concrete walk, there
fore, has been laid at the extreme
southern side of the tract owned by
the railroad company, some ten feet
from the track. 1t was stated at the
station Yesterday that the strip be
tween the walk and the rails will be
sodded over
Between the station platform and
the concrete pavement, opposite the
alley coming down from Lower Null
berry street, is a wide driveway cob
bled with heavy stones to be used by
teams approaching or leaving the sta
ton.
All that is needed now is to COM
plete the painting, when the d. l.. q
". company can boast of improve
ments that will compare favorably
with any other company and cast the
=. & r.. station, with its homely
gravel walks far in the shade

IRON FLAG STAFF
At HOSPITAL

The authorities of the hospital for
the insane are about signaliZing the
completion Of the fine improvements
Just installed by erecting a l25-foot
flag staff, which will lift the stars and
strips to an altitude that will make
them visible for miles around.
Aside from this fact, however, there
is a story hanging on the flag staff it.
sMf which latter has no parallel in
anything in this section being entire
" Of iron. The flag staff, which was
furnished by Buchanan q company, ar
rived at the hospital Monday and yes
terday afternoon was hauled from the
cars to the site on the grounds where
it is to be erected
The iron pole. which is III the form of
a series of tubes jointed together is in
two parts, one part being 81 feet and
/ inches long and the other 63 feet and
/ inches long. The two sections as
shipped lay side by side taking in the
entire length of two cars. The total
weight of the pole when the two sec
tions are united Will be no less than
five tons At the bottom the big tube
is II inches in diameter; it tapers to
four inches at the top
1t will be raised ut the very spot
where the smaller wooden pole stood
that was erected during the Spanish
American war-in front of the hospit-
al about midway between the main en-
trance and the gate house.
W. \. Shepperson had the contract
for hauling the iron pole. Owing to
its great size and weight it proved ex-
ceedingly difficult to handle on wheels,
but Mr.. Shepperson managed to trans
port it from the cars to the site it is
to occupy without mishap. Still more
Il ifIicult probably will be the work OF
raising the 125-foot iron staff. First
Of all an immense foundation of con-
crete will have to be laid in which the
pole will be sunk to the depth of nine
feet To assist in the raising trench
will be dug, in which the iron pole
will lie at a slant with its lower end
on the level that it will occupy when
raised. An immense gin pole will be
erected by the means of which the flag
staff will be swung into vertical posi-
tion The iron pole at the hospital is
the first of the kind to be erected in
this vicinity.

Black Hand in Another Murder.

A thrilling shooting affair, i'll which
an Italian of the Black Hand society
attempted to murder fellow country
man, occurred near Mt. Carmel yester-
day morning.
Joseph Nestico, a miner of Mt Car
mel was entering the Greenough col
liery at Marion Heights, when accost-
ed by an unknown man. Without
warning the stranger pulled reyol-
yer and shot Nestico three times.
The firing attracted the attention of
three other miners who were going to
work and they made rush for the
would be murderer, who turned and
shot one of them, David Morris, of
Mt. Carmel, in the leg.
A crowd quickly gathered and at
tempted to surround the desperate
stranger, who stood at bay, weapon in
hand. Suddenly he fired the last cham
ber of his revovler into the crowd,
dashed for the mountain side and dis
appeared in the dense forest and un-
deTgrowth.
The miners were content enough to
let him take his leave unmolested, and
turned their attention to the injured
men. Although seriously hurt, it is
not believed that their wounds will
prove fatal.
Many of the foreign miners are
thoroughly frightened They believe
to man that this was the work OF
the Black Hand society whose evil in
/ fucnco is undoubtedly spreading
throughout the coal regions.
