Paris, June 19..-The action of the

TWO LECTURES
/ BY DR.. SPERRY
Paul Super and Secretary H.
P. Wood Endorse Him
Heartily.
(Communicated.)

Honolulu has the privilege of meet
ing and hearing a good many famous
or well-known people, but the number
who remain long enough while passing
through to give the people a chance
to hear them speak is all too small
This week, however, Honolulu will
have the opportunity to hear one of
the best-known lecturers of the day.
DR. Lyman Beecher Sperry.
DR.. Sperry passed through here on
his way 10 Australia last May, and
arranged to give a series of lectures
while on his return trip to the States.
The Promotion Committee has been
trying for about a year to get DR..
Sperry re- come to the islands and
take photographs from which to make
lantern slides to use in his lectures.
He has been doing this for the past
week.
The lecture which is usually best re-
cefved is the one on Americas Won
derland'' describing the scenic Won
ders of the mainland, illustrated with
most beautiful views. This lecture

Editor Advertiser: The article in
your paper OF. this date referring to the
Sailors Home lot, conveys a wrong
idea The lot reverts to the govern
ment only whenever the Sailors Home
ceases to exist under the terms of its
charter. For the present the Honolulu
Sailors Home Society continues in it's
sphere of usefulness under the man.
agement of its board of trustees and
I trust it will continue SO for years to
come.
The participation of the Seamen's In
stitute in the work of the Sailors
Home in this community strengthens
the institution and its beneficent
christian work and influence speaks
for itself At the same time the Sea-
mems Institute operates in conjunc-
ton with the Sailors Home only and
uses the latters premises for the bene-
fit of seamen on the lines laid down
by the charter of the Sailors Home
Society under carefully considered
agreement which may be cancelled if
deemed best by either party With rea-
sonable notice.
The Sailors Home premises are
therefore not available for the public,
as your article suggests.
Very respectfully,

will be given Thursday night, either
in the Y. NJ. c.. A. Hall or the Opera
House, probably in the latter. Those
who have not had opportunity of see-
ing the beauties of America will never
have better chance than now, and
should by all means take in this lec-
ture. Others will enjoy the views for
their intrinsic artistic beauty.
The Friday night lecture will be in

coming from successful lecture tour
of Australia, where he met almost as
many audiences in three months as
there were days. He has had the rest
afforded by the ocean trip and his stay
in Honolulu, and something good is
expected.
High-elass lectures of this sort are
rare here, and the people should be
lecture-hungry. They will be well fed.
DR.. Sperry is known everywhere, not
only as a lecturer, but as an author
and physician. AS a medical man he
has made sex hygiene his speciality,
and his books on this subject are
among the most read of all in the Eng
nsh language. He is in great demand
for talks along this line and one will
be arranged before he leaves Homo
lulu.
The fact that the proceeds of the
lectures are for the benefit of the edn-
cational department of the Young
Mems Christian Association should
help draw large audience to the hall
each night. This department is doing
an important work, and is by no means
self-sustaining.
The following letter from Mr.. III. p.
Wood, secretary of the Hawaii Promo
ton Committee, is sufficient endorse
DR.. Sperry's work:
Honolulu, Hawaii, Sept 80, 1907.
Mr.. Paul Super, General Secretary, Y.
NJ. c. A., Honolulu.
My Dear Mr.. Super: I am very glad
to hear that you have made arrange
ments with DIR. L. B. Sperry for a Sc
ries of lectures during this gentlemans
stay in Honolulu.
The Hawaii Promotion Committee
has been in correspondence with DR..
Sperry for upwards of a year, en-
deavoring to get him to visit our is
lands for the purpose of securing ma
terial for an illustrated lecture on Ha-
wall to be added to his interesting
SERIES and we naturally feel much
gratified at the result of our efforts.
The Doctor is now making a tour
of the different islands and feel con-
fident that our work of promotion is
going to be greatly benefited by the
visit of this close observer, whose at
tractive personality and ability as a
public speaker are so we'll known
throughout the United States that his
services are constantly in demand.
] have seen some of the lantern
slides that the Doctor proposes throw
ing on the screen during his lecture
on the Wonderland of America They
have been carefully selected, are beau
tifully colored and will please the most
critical audience.
No one will be disappointed who is
privileged to attend one of DR.. Sperry's
lectures. Respectfully yours,
II. P. WOOD,
Secretary.

The sharp slump in the production
of the Cochran, Funk & Co.'S gusher
on the G. w. Hixenbaugh farm, in
Wetzel county, was not due to a show
of weakening, but was Occasioned by
the tools becoming stuck in the hole
and impeding the flow. The guage for
the last twenty-four hours was 72O
