KAWAIAHAO CONCERT
WAS MOST ENJOYABLE

An immense crowd was present at
ahao church. every seat being taken,
the aisles flied and people being perch
ed on the window-sills. steps and every
conceivable point of accommodation.
the church and the Christian Endeavor
Society and these good causes must
have benefited most satisfactorily from
last nights affair.
The program was an excellent one
and was thoroughly enjoyed, many of
the numbers being enthusiastically APP
plauded
The concert brought out the city's
glee clubs to great advantage and the
selections by the Manoa valley, Ka-
mehameha, Kawaiahao Seminary, Pa
uoa valley, Kakaako. Kaahumanu and
Kakaako Mission glee clubs and quar-
tets, showed that Honolulu possesses
a wealth of choral talent of which
little is known because it is seldom
presented with chance to make itself
heard
Ernest Kaai's instrumental selections
were much enjoyed. He is certainly
a master of stringed instruments.
That ever popular melody, The Old
Plantation was effectively rendered
by the Ellis Bros Glee Club and con-
stituted one of the hits of the even
ing.
E. K Liiikalani sang Loves Old Sweet
Song in his usual finished manner and
another baritone contribution was
Waiting" by w. S. Ellis. Ellis was
in his best voice and the ballad was
sung in a way that brought out all
the sentiment that the author has
endowed it with.
Perhaps the quartet selection most
appreciated by those present was "The
Old Apple Tree sung by the Kaahu-
manu- quartet This sweetly pretty
composition held the audience spell
bound as did Indy" sung by the
Kakaako GIee Club. Everybody listens
when Indy" is sung for it is a song
in sympathy with the signing of the
wind in the palm fronds and the muir
muir of the moonlit surf

HAWAII Is A
WINTER PARADISE

Charles Read, a mining man of
Utah, who is returning home from a
tour of the Orient on the Manchuria,
states that among officers in the
Philippines there is a feeling that an
outbreak will certainly take place in
China and that the American forces
viii have big time ahead of them.
Mr. Read said that while he liked
Japan very well, it was from the
standpoint of being a country pleasant
to look upon, with curious customs of
the people to attract one's attention,
but it was not a country in which he
would care to live Honolulu appeal
ed to him strongly as a place which
he believed was destined to be a WIN
ter paradise, and he believed that
wealthy people on the mainland would
tablish homes here.
In his opinion the view from the
Pail was the most superb he had ever
had the pleasure to experience.

placed against her. She was taken to a
room in another hotel, from which she

| China, and put himself at the disposal
of Bishop Chausse. the vicar apostolic.
The times, however, were not favorable
for work among the lepers, as the coun-
try was disturbed by war. While an
island close to Canton was available for
leper settlement, means were wanting
to maintain even small establishment
there. The work has now been taken
up by Bishop Merel, the incumbent, and
Father COnrady is to have personal
charge of the work. In speaking of his
work to a Tribune reporter he said:
"There are thousands of abandoned
victims of this dread disease IN the
vicinity of Canton. | saw many
wretched cases in Molokai, but the con-
dition of the Chinese lepers Is much
worse-nothing short of appalling.

already been done for them. | am will

DRUMMER
OF SHILOH
Continued from Page IL

IL
the drum roll OF this heroic boy was
heard steadily sounding the calls. It's
echoes dwell long in the memory of
many a strong man who fought across
that crimson field. and nerved him TO
deeds of loftiest courage by the sound
of its unfaltering stroke, At last the
intrepid young drummer became sepa
rated from his command in the midst
of that chaos of death and in the
smoky darkness and confusion he
wandered within the Confederate lines.
picking up, as he CROPPED his way on
ward. a loaded mus}<et, dropped per-
haps by some wounded soldier
Give up that gun. you little Yankee.
and follow me-" shouted a grun voice
far above him.
The undaunted little soldier stretch
ed himself proudly to his full height
of thirty-six inches, and glancing up
ward saw the figure of a big man in
the uniform of a Confederate colonel
of cavalry towering over him on
foaming horse.
Give up that gun, 1 say" again
ordered the officer, as with a frown up
on his face he drew his saber and
made lunge at his Lilliputian adver-
sary. Coolly the mite raised the mus
ket. though he staggered beneath its
weight, and said without a tremor in
the girlfsh treble Of his baby voice:
II order you to surrender,
Surrender? You damned little Yam
kee, nit" roared the irate colonel, set
plunged over the unf1inching little tot
who so boldly confronted him.
The gun at Johnny's shoulder spoke.
and the officer fell, never again to ride
in battle.
And thus in the sagas of the regi-
ment. IN song and story, the Drum
mer Boy of Shiloh became a hero OF
the nation.
For gallantry in action young Glenn
was afterwards promoted to a sergeant
cy by General Rosecrans, and the
youngest and tiniest soldier in the
place proudly at the side of his men.
OF such is the stuff that the Amer
lean soldier is made, and the story OF
little Johnny Glenn tells why that SOL
der is invincible.
The following clipping is taken from
number of the Ohio State Journal
nearly forty years old: Our readers
doubtless remember the case of john
~
ty-second Michigan Infantry, whose
GOODNESS and intrepidity won from
General Rosecrans the promotion to
sergeancy. He was in the city yes
terday and was presented to the gov
ernor, after which he was taken
through the state house. attracting
considerable interest on the floor of the
legislature halls. He has been mus
tered out of service by reason of ex-
piration of his term, and is now en-
route home. He is the youngest and
smallest commissioned officer in
the service
Colonel Glenn has performed service
in the Quartermaster's Department of
the army at most of the important sta
tions in the United States. He was
Chief Quartermaster of the depart
ment of Porto Rico for two years and
served in the same state
for the department of Texas, at San
Antonio.
He has been Chief Quartermaster of
the Philippines Division since Octo-
Der, 1908, and is now returning under
orders to the United States. 1t is
pretty generally believed that he will |
be called upon at an early date to |
succeed General c. F. Humphrey as
Quartermaster General of the Army.
