SAVE "OLD IRONS|OES"
Monster Petition of Citizens of
Massachusetts
ON VIEW AT DEPARTMENT
An Object Of Unusual Interest to
Throngs of Visitors.
STEPS FOR ITS PRESERVATION
List of Thirty Thousand Signatures,
Including Many Noted Names
Rotting at Wharf.
STEPS FOR ITS PRESERVATION

Through the courtesy of Secretary Bona
parte, Mr.. Eric Pape of Boston has placed
on exhibition in the large reception room OF
the Secretary of the Navy the monster
petition signed by about thirty thousand
citizens of Massachusetts urging the Con-
gress to preserve to posterty the famous
old frigate Constitution, "Old Ironsides."
Mr.. Pape organized this movement to save
the good Old ship from threatened destruc-
ton, brought the petition to this city and
secured its formal presentation to Congress.
The petition is regarded as a rich curl
osity and has proved an object of unusual
interest to the throngs of visitors to the
Navy Department. Special arrangements
have been made for its exhibition and
preservation. 1t is enclosed in a large
glass case nearly twelve feet high, sur
mounted with golden eagles at the four
corners. Brass pillars and rods support
the copper case in which the petition was
rolled for shipment and from it is suspend
ed the petition with the unrolIed portion
resting behind the big oak chest in which
1t was packed. Standing on the chest at
the bottom of the case is an old model of
the famous ship made many years ago,
and resting against the front of the chest IS
large brass wreath of laurel leaves. The
graceful folds of a large silk American flag
serve as an appropriate background, and
heavy gold cords and tassels give an addi-
tional touch of color to the whole.
Victory of the Constitution.
At the head OF the petition Is striking
oil painting. IA by 10 inches by Mr.. Eric
Pape, representing the victory OF the Con-
stitution over the British frigate Guerrero
on the afternoon of August 10, 1872 The
painting is on a dIumhead Al inches IN
diameter, attached by gold cord to union
jack At the head of the design is the fig
ure of an eagle surrounded by thirteen
stars representing the original states, the
whole being aTtistically finished with APP
proprlate scroll work.
The petition is ~ inches wide, and the
are written ten 10 4 line. If
the names had been written one below the
other the petition would make a scroll that
If placed on end, would be at least three
times as high the Washington monu-
ment. The first name in the list IS that Of
eX-Gov. Douglass, and the second that of
Gov. Guild of Massac husetts. Among the
other Signers are eX-Secretary Long, six
eX-goyernors, seventy mayors Of MasSa-
chusetts cities, all the councilmen and al
dermen of the sea coast towns OF the state,
all the members of the Massachusetts SEN
ate and house, many college presidents and
professors, Gen. Appleton, president of the

McGREGoR'S LANDING COM
PLETBD.

At exactly twelve o'clock noon
Monday of this week the work on
McGregor's Landing was complet-
ed.
Cotton Brothers & Co. had the
contract and since the work was in
charge of Mr.. A. II. Moore, it has
been done rapidly.
The completion of this landing
will be of great convenience to
those who travel to and from Ha-
waii by the Kinau and Mauna Loa
and wish to visit Central Maui as
the Landing will be a great inn
provement over the old Maalaea
Landing that was much exposed to
the winds.
While no one expects this land
ing to be so much used, nor any
thing like so good as the landing
at Kahului, yet it will be great
convenience and much safer than
the one formerly used on that side
of the island.
The length of the wharf COM
plete is two hundred feet, and is
sixteen feet wide, with a head of
thirty by thirty feet.
The concrete piers are of suifi-
cient numbers, size and depth to
make the wharf a permanent
structure while the cut water
affords double protection!
AT the end of the wharf sixteen
feet of water may be found at any
time, and on the wharf is two hun

Association was called to order in

o'clock on Friday morning, April
9th, 1906, with eighteen teachers
present.
After the reading of the minutes
of the preceding meeting the pro.
gramme opened with a pianola
solo.
Mrs. Copeland read paper on
"Phonics," demonstrating her meth
DDS and the results to be obtained
by class of her pupils who were
in attendance. The ability of the
youngsters to read and pronounce

was a revelation to some of those

AS an illustration of his methods
in storytelling, Mr.. Rosecrans
told the story of Chicken Little
to class of children. He then
gave paper on the general topic
of the cultivation of correct forms
of speech by the pupils. The most
effective way to procure correct
speech is to have the pupils read
stories, written in good, idiomatic
English, memorize them, and then
reproduce them with as much
dramatic action as possible.
A pianola solo followed.
Inspector Wells read from thu
preface OF a manual on the teach
ing of phonics by means of diacrit
ical marks. This reading provoked
a discussion on the general topic o
phonics, in which Mrs. Austin, Mr.
Rosecrans. Mr.. Copeland and 9th
ers took part
Mr. Wells then discussed tn,
subject of story telling. He though
the best method was that whicl

method. Mrs. Hofgaard though
that for the sake of securing ex

Mrs. Austin read a selection from
