TO Give FREE CONCERTS
In SAN FRANCISCO
IT is PROPOSED THAT THE HAWAIIAN THREE OR
FOUR FREE CONCERTS IN SAN FRANCISCO WHEN THEY
REACH THERE ABOUT FIRST JUNE-PRoMoTIoN COM
EXPENSE

Joe Cohen has a new scheme. He
proposes to give three or four free con-
certs in San Francisco for the San
Francisco sufferers when he reaches
there about the first of June with the
Hawaiian Band.
The idea is no doubt a good one for
there is absolutely nothing in San
Francisco to take the peoples minds
off of the terrible calamity that so re-
Gently befell their city. .Amusements
are out of the question for while for
even if a suitable place were found for
a theatrical troupe to play the cit,
zens of San Francisco would not have
the necessary money with which to
enjoy it. SO Joe Cohen proposes to ar
range if possible for the band to play
three or four days for the pleasure of
San Francisco populace.

STOCK MARKET Will
REMAIN CLOSED
r. w. SHINGLE RECEIVES A CA
BILE THAT SAN FRANCISCO EX-
CHANGE WILL REMAIN CLOSED.

Pollitz & Co., stock brokers of San
Francisco cabled this morning to r.
w. Shingle, secretary of the Honolulu
Stock and Bond Exchange, that the
San Francisco Stock and Bond Ex-
charge would remain closed until fur
ther notice.
William A, Love of Halstead & Co
stated that the cable probably was sent
in answer to the large number of cable
grams being sent from here to San
Francisco asking what was being done
there by the holders of securities He
says further that there can be no
business done by the brokers there un-
til after the banks resume their busi-
ness on a large scale. Another thing
that hinders the opening of the market
is the fact that each day has been de-
clared legal holiday and therefore
the brokers can make no contracts.
AS soon as the market reopens the
brokers will probably be notified here.

The expense of the undertaking will
be borne by the Hawaii Promotion
Committee if 1t is undertaken. The
Committee think that the scheme is
good one, for it would bring Hawaii a
great deal of advertising, it being un-
derstood on the coast that the Hawaii
Promotion Committee was providing
the necessary money for the free con-
certs. The only thing that may stop
the scheme is the fact that the Com
mittee may be unable to raise the
necessary funds.
The only expense would be the board
and lodging of the band those few
days and the payment of the band
boys salaries. The Committee have
the matter under advisement and will
decide the matter soon.

E. l. Spalding spoke Of the value to
the public by the selsmOgraph Mr..
Spalding stated that a certain news
paper editor of this city thought to
telephone to Sisal and he found that
the machine had recorded the shock.
Mr.. Spalding spoke of the suspense and
he stated it was found that the ma
chine did not record any later particu-
lars. He was Of the opinion that as
public benefit the Chamber should
investigate how far the machine might
be trusted.
L. II. Peck said he was not prepar-
ed to speak at length on the subject
but he understood that the machine
was used more for experimental scieu-
tlhc purposes than for the general
benefit of the public
Mr.. Spalding moved that the secre-
tary address a letter to the official in
charge of the instrument to ascertain
how far 1t would benefit the public. The
motion was carried.
The meeting then adjourned.

TONGUE CUT OFF
 TO SAVE HIM
Boy Placed It Against . Frost Pipe Because He Was Dared
 to Do So.

Albert Travis while playing at the Millvil]e (N. J) ice plant was dared by boy companion to touch one of the frost pipes with his tongue.
 'I never take a dare," he said, and touched the white pipe with his tongue. In moment he was writhing in pain. His companions laughed. thinking he was playing a joke One of the en- gineers, hearing the cry, found the boy on his knees allnost unconscious. Young Travis tongue was terribly swollen and frozen fast to the pipe. All efforts to release him were futile, and his father was summoned.
 Learning there was only one way to save his son, he spoke to the engineer and turned away while the man open ed sharp blade of his pocketknife and cut ofr the lads tongue. Before Dr. Charles E. Neal could arrive the boy had almost bled to death. It Is now thought his dare will cost his life.

 Are you parson?" one of the high waymen demanded. The pastor ad- mitted the fact and no doubt hoped 1t would secure him rebate of some sort. "You are the very man we want" said the other highwayman. He whistled softly, and two young wo- men suddenly emerged from the shad- ows. We want you to marry us and do 1t as speedily as possible said the first highwayman.
 Whereat the relieved pastor, having no desire to argue the matter. hastily performed the double marriage cere. mony for the elopers and was reward ed with substantial fee. Then the wedding party bade him good night and disappeared in the gloom. leaving the pastor to resume his lonely journey along the dusky highway.

Indians Who Take to the Woods at the
 Sight of White Men,
 An American who has spent several years in the State of Chiapas Mexico says the Caribes are the most prlmi- tive Indians in southern Mexico,
 Their clothing is made of bark fibre and bows and arrows are their only weapons. The bows are five feet or more in length, the arrows are wei made and feathered with bright col ored plumage. By means of arrows having a ring on them they manage to stun birds so as to take them alive, while fish are obtained by means of very long arrows, barbed all the way.
 These people,. says Modern Mexico, are tlmid and gentle, running out of their huts to hide if any stranger comes ,near. Few of them know any Spanish, and even these spokesmen rarely visit town, once in two three years seeming to satisfy tn
 The Iapotecan Indians on the
 coast seem in all respects the finest of all the tribes. and they certainly are the handsomest. When the girls of the tribe wish to show great courtesy ol
