IN THE
ne-
WATER SYSTEM

Superintendent Van Trump of the
Water Department. in his weekly re-
port to the Water Board yesterday
afternoon, suggested that something be
done along the race i'm the Brdndyw,ne
to prevent the ice and flotsam backing
up TO the headgates, causing the race
to overflow and flood the pumping sta
ton as has occurred heretofore.
In connection with the improve
ments to the grounds at the station.
superintendent Van Trump says. II
would suggest that the balance of the
race, that portion between Market
street and the end Of the waterway, as
well as the forebay to the waterpower
wheel be covered BY placing suitable
racks and screens near the spillway
west of Market street the disposal of
the drift of all descriptions as well
las the ice, would be greatly facilitated"
The commissioners considered the
matter, and the plans suggested were
thought to be feasible Superintend-
ent Van Trump and Chief Engineer
Leisen viii Investigate the matter.
Many important changes will have to
be made in the arrangements at the
Cool Spring pumping station to meet
the demands made on the distribution
mains of the water system, particu-
larly when the new reservoir at the
Weldin farm is put in operation.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-One of the
leading traders on the stock exchange
today showed a paste board slip on
which he had written list of "bull
points" which he said ought to cheer
everybody up. Theye were:
\ 1-Currency premium fallen from
to "a per cent. and banks expected
to cash all checks freely by the end
of the week
2.-United States Exchange Bank
which shut in the panic reopened yes
terday and like to reopened Twelfth
Ward and Terminal banks had more
deposits than Withdrawals.
3.-Union Pacific has put back 5000
men recently discharged, an example Of
re employment which will be largely
followed as soon as currency "loosens
up"
New England" he said. never had
panic in cities like Syracuse and
Toledo never felt it either The pres
ent black belts are at present between
Pittsburg and the Mississippi and west
Of the Rockies, but conditions in these
belts are a belated echo Of New York
affairs of two weeks ago. AS soon as
New York sets a good example of re-
sumption the west will follow suit.
Recovery win be sure but slow. There
won't be stock boom until loans are
easy again. Speculation is still at a
discount but chances for sound in
Ivestments were never better"
Commission houses report very little
real stock in circulation. They say
some people must have been following
Tom Lawson's advice, buying it out
right and locking it up in boxes.

CONVOCAT|ON
FINISHES WORK
Hawaii to Be Represented at
the Pan-Anglican
Conference.

The Fifth Annual Convocation of
the Missionary District of Honolulu OF
the Protestant Episcopal Church fin
ished it's work and adjourned sine die
last evening.
In 1908 at ST. Paul S Church, London,
there is to be held Pan-Angliean Mis-
sionary Conference at which it is hoped
that there will be representatives OF
every diocese and missionary district
in the world using the book of com
mon prayer. AS it was uncertain just
when the next Convocation will be
held, the Council of Advice was au-
thorized to select a delegate to repre-
sent this Missionary District.
The Episcopate Fund which has been
held by the Society for the Propaga-
tion of the Gospel for the support OF
the Bishop in Honolulu, has finally con-
sented to turn that fund over to the
Board of Directors of the Church here,
the original purpose of the trust to
be carried out. The fund amounts to
something over $4,000. 1t is invested
in British Consols bearing two and
half per cent interest. 1t can be
invested here so as to bear five and
a half per cent. But British Consols
are now quoted at about eighty y-tive.
To sell at this price will be to sacrifice
about fifteen per cent of the fund. rms
would be made up in about five years
if the increased interest could be add
ed to the principal. But the income
of the fund under it's trust character
and the relation of the Board of Mis-
sions to this District is such that the IN
come must be accounted to the Board
of Missions The Board of Directors
were therefore authorized TO CORE
spond with the Board of Missions to
ascertain if it would permit the differ
ence between the rate of interest now
received and that which would be re-
ceived to be added to the principal,
until the latter shall be brought 10
an. amount equal to the par Value Oh
the eonsols, should the consols now De
sold and the fund transferred to no
nolulu. If this is not permitted, IL
is poss1uIe the principal OF the 1und
will not be transferred, as IL WOulu
involve a sacrifice of about fltteen per
cent of the principal. While condi-
tions NAV change later, so that this
loss would not be suffered.
It was voted to provide fund OF
fifty dollars year for the expenses
of the Board of Directors.
A resolution of sympathy was adopt
ed for the Rev. and Mrs. Stewart VINO
were formerly at st. James. HIio. lie
is now a sufferer from paralysis.

erable number of the men of St An
drevv's and other parishes and missions

Lemonade, drawn from the wood, and
cookies is what Judge Kingsbury sug-
gests for lunch for the soldier boys
after their parade on the Fourth. For
those whose stomachs couldn't stand
the acidity of this, PiekMe-Up' a
nice fruit punch, non-aleoholic, was
suggested. This would be taken to the
drillshed and the militia boys serve it
out to their guests, the regulars, after
the two had done their walk about
the city in the parade and stood at at
tention during the literary exercises in
the Executive building grounds.
Colonel Sam johnson and Colonel
Jones mildly suggested that beer and
lots of it would perhaps be better, say
a barrel for each of the eight compa-
nies. Both the gallant eolonels an
nounced the sad truth that their men
preferred the amber suds to the pinkiest
lemonade that was ever brewed and
would march better and stand the
drought of the speeches in better shape
if their part of the program could be
concluded with the ehugging of bung-
starters.
This discussion took place yesterday
at noon at the meeting of the chair
men of the Fourth of July celebration
subcommittee and the advocates of
beer won out, the Judge being min
ority of one. The meeting was called
for the purpose of hearing the reports
of the subcommittee and learning what
amounts of money woul6 be required by
