Cold on the Farm.

The bathers did entice-
A merry, laughing shouting crew
Is fringed with brittle ice.

Where undisturbed the mallard feeds.
The trees their russell leaves have shed.
Where once the hammock swayed,
But from their shelter now are fed

Tho country's lost its wonted charm,
There's nothing doing on the farm.
The horny-handed farmers board
Groans with good things to eat.

A better kind Of meat.
They have for breakfast sirloin steaks
Eggs, honey, cream and batter cakes.

And cuts his little jokes,
And little anecdotes repeats
About them city folks"

b}A 7 HIS
AN EVENING WITH
THE GREAT BEETHOVEN

| The musical circle Of the Kilohana
Art League, gave an entertainment
| last evening which reflected a great
deal of credit upon those having the
| affair in charge. Mrs. H. M. Won
| Holt, as chairman of the musical
| circle, is to be congratulated upon her
selection of the compositions rendered.
| The musicians taking part are
among the best in Honolulu. The
stage was appropriately decorated
with a German flag and laurel leaves
surrounded the picture of Beethoven.
The entertainment was opened by
the reading of a sketch of the COM
poser's life. This was a complete his
tory of the musician and the circum-
stances under which many of his best
works were produced was feelingly
told.
Miss Schaefer and Mr.. Bode were
the first to contribute to the musical
part of the program which they did
by rendering the Symphony No. 5,
ful way and which was met with
hearty applause.
Mr. Hastings gave two songs which
were sung in telling voice. and which
delighted his audience.
Sonata Opus 80. rendered by Miss
Clark, was beautiful example of
Beethoven's milder and more harmo-
NOUS compositions.
Mrs Mackall was suffering from a
severe cold but any one hearing her
sing last evening would have doubted
that fact, as her rendering of two
German songs was charming. The
acoustic properties of the Odd Eel
lows hall are we'll nigh perfect and
Mrs. Maekall's rich voice was heard
to advantage. Mrs. MackalI is an ac-
complished German linguist as those
who heard her could testify.
The Allegro Opus IS, played by the
string quartet, was the closing num-
Der on the program. Messrs. w A.
Love. H. r. Tuck, O. Z. Wall and
DR.. Ramus, represented the Symph-
ony orchestra. The piece is acknoWl-
edged by all music critics as being an
extremely difficult one, and the giving
of the necessary time toward the prac-
tise of the piece reflects great credit
on the members of the quartet.
About two hundred people enjoyed
the evenings entertainment and all
went away wishing that the concert
might be repeated in the near future
Mrs. Hitchcock was the accompanies
of the evening. Mr.. Hitchcock an
the numbers and introduced
the different singers.
There will be a meeting of the Art
League soon at which the matter OF
a new building will be discussed.

FUNERAL BENEFIT FOR
MOTORMAN'S WIDOW

The first break, by death, in the
ranks of Rapid Transit carmen. was
recorded Monday evening last, when
Motorman Meminger died at the
Queens hospital. His death. after only
few days sickness. came as a rude
shock to his associates, as he was I'M
doubtedly the strongest, and apparent
ly one of the healthiest, men on rhe
system. He enjoyed the respect and
confidence of his fellow workmen. as
evidenced by his election, some time
ago. to the office of financial secretary
of their Benefit Association.
This sad and sudden ending of a
worthy and useful life will also mark
the first draft on the treasury of the
Honolulu Street Railway Employees
Benefit Association, for funeral bene-
fit on the death of a member. This
sum, it may be stated, is one hundred
dollars. Deceased was also a member
of the order of Masons.
His funeral took place from the Ma
sonic Temple on Wednesday afternoon.
A body of about fifty carmen, in uni
form. headed the procession. The
usual impressive ceremonies of the Ma
sonic order were conducted, both in the
Temple and at the crematory.

Los ANGELENOS
At THE SEASIDE

| Beautiful women, sweet music, and
| a good time were the features of the
| farewell dance at the Seaside Hotel
last evening, given in honor of the Los
Angeles tourists. A little before nine
o'clock, the first strains of the violin
| were heard and the first couple took
the floor. In less than five minutes
the entire dancing pavilion was filed
and remained filed until a late hour.
Mollowing each dance, the dancers
went out to the lawn and enjoyed lis
tening to the waves as they beat upon
the sand
A large number of local people were
there and helped to make the evening
an enjoyable one for the visitors.
AS the evening advanced, the crowds
grew larger and during the first two
step there was very little room for
more couples.
The experience of dancing by the
seashore was new to most of the peo-
pie there last night, and was a fitting
close to the enjoyable time the Los
Angelenos have had since their ar
rival here, and many will be the pleas
ant memories which they will carry
away with them this afternoon as they
sail for home.
