GIVING EXERCISES At
CENTRAL UNION CHURCH

Being more blessed to give than re-
ceive, the Christmas giving exercises
by the members of the Central Union
Sunday school last night was an en-
joyable occasion and will bring still
further joy to the less fortunate chill
dren who will benefit from the gifts
piled in the Christmas ship, full rugged

spreading Christmas cheer. It was not

and more children who took part in
the exercises getting all that was good
for them of ice cream, cake and cam
dies and they had as wen a great deal
of pleasure in the program which had
been prepared especially for them
The program was taken part in by
number of boys and girls in fancy cos

a dozen little chaps representing
Cream of Wheat marched and Teddy
Bears, the real thing, did their tricks.
Then there were Brownies and Fairies
and little Old Women and little young
Coons. not to mention the very pretty
grouping of the Girls of All Nations,
thirteen in all.
Sing a Song o Sixpence" was sung
by seventeen little girls, who bowed
and sang most creditabiy. and there
were several other musical numbers
from the different classes and one big
chorus from the entire school.
After the program came the loading

things for some other children in the

Last nights street scenes proved to
be a good curtain-raiser for what is
expected tonight, for although there
was less than the expected amount
of noise. there were great numbers
of shoppers and sightseers abroad. the
stores doing a good business until well
up to eleven o'clock. At no time
during the evening was there the least
disorder, and the police stationed
about the principal blocks had a sine
cure.

part of the city, the greatest crowds
being gathered along the block where
the Kaai orchestra and the moving
picture display held forth. but as far
mauka as Sachs and through to the
stores on Alakea street. there were
at all times a large number of shop
pers. and the clerks in the various
gayiy-hghte,1 establishments were kept
busy.
The holiday spirit kept nearly every
one on the street. and as a conse-l

at the Orpheum, decidedly simmer
than the show deserved. The same
spirit made it easy for the police. and

spots in the city. there being nothing

CALVE MAY SING
IN HONOLULU
Famous Prima Donna Wishes
to Visit Hawaii and Stay
Some Weeks.

There is very strong probability
French opera singer, appearing in a
series of two or more fashionable con-
certs in Honolulu in February or
March. The prima donna has herself
written to Manager Joe Cohen and
suggested the trip and it is quite pos
sible that the necessary arrangements
will be made.
If Calve comes it will not be any
hurried visit or days stopoyer on
the way TO the Colonies, but a trip
made especially to Honolulu with a
possibility of the songstress remaining
here for at least a month. She wishes
to visit the Hawaiian Islands, see the
beauties Of which she has heard and
have time enough here to properly en-
joy them.
In her letter TO Mr.. Cohen she states
that she will come without her mana
ger and desires him to manage her con-
certs in Honolulu. She viii bring with
her her pianist and violin soloist, and
it can be taken for certain that these
two musicians who will assist and ac~
company her are finished and thorough
artists.
Manager Cohen viii reply urging the
great singer to come and Immediately
upon receipt of the assurance that the
trip to Honolulu will be made he will
open subscription list for the tickets
Although Calve has stated in her letter
that she desires to give two or more
fashionable concerts, yet the price of
the seats will be placed on subscription
for four dollars, at which figure there
should be little difficulty experienced
in filling the Opera House for both
dates. Already the few to whom Cohen
has spoken have signified their desire
to begin the list right away.
Mr.. Cohen will secure the assistance
of w. D. Adams in managing the af-
fair
It is rare honor for a place as small
and isolated as Honolulu to so attract
the attention of an artistic of such ce-
lebrity as Madame Calve as to have
her personally write to secure an en-
gagement. 1t is probable, too, that
Honolulu will be visited in the early
spring by Margaret Anglin, the well
known actress, who with her company
will pass here en- route to Australia.
1t is very probable that this company
will give one show here in the Opera
House. AS the company has been play
ing for the past year in only the prin-
cipal theaters of the eastern states and
is one of the strongest companies of
America, Honolulans may look forward
to treat on the occasion of their visit.

MESSIAH At
MEMORIAL CHAPEL

''Handels Messiah was presented
at the Bishop Memorial chapel last
evening by choruses from the Kane
hameha School under the leadership of
Stanley Livingston. Admittance was
by invitation, and the chapel was
crowded by those who came to hear.
Not the whole of HandeFs great ora
torio was given but four of the prin-
cipal choruses were exceedingly well
rendered. These were the .tHalleIujah"
chorus, GLORY to God in the Highest" I"
"Oh Thou That Tellest Good Tidings. :"
The superb work of Mrs. Mackall can
not be too highly praised. Because
of the absence of the alto soloist. she
sang all the arias, the alto solos as
well as the soprano solos.
Mrs. A. B. Ingalls, accompanied Mrs.
Mackall on the violin in one of the
arias and the effect was most exqui-
site, arousing the greatest enthusiasm.
Miss Margaret Clarke was the very
efficient organist. and deserves great
praise. Mr.. Livingston showed splen-
did handling of the choruses and
proved himself a capable leader.
The oratorio will be repeated with
the same choruses at Kawaiahao
church next Sunday night. To this the
public is invited.

BOARD Of HEALTH
TAKE COUNSEL
Make Regulations Regarding
Passengers and
Freight.

A meeting of the Board of Health
was held last night at the rooms of
President Pinkham. he being pretty
we'll worn out physically. and therefore
unable to attend at the Board rooms.
The other members met at the Board
rooms and then were taken in the
Board of Health ambulance to Presi-
dent Pinkham's apartments. All the
members of the Board were present.
and in addition, DIR. Currie of the
Marine Hospital and Quarantine Ser
vice. and Acting Governor Mott-Smith.
The letters written and executive
orders issued by President Pinkham
to meet the present situation were first
read. One was a letter to DR.. Ramus
eral to authorize the employment of
a steam launch to patrol the waters
within which fishing is prohibited. An
other was letter to superintendent
of Public Works Campbell asking that
only artesian water be furnished to
the lower levels of the city, and that
the garbage be disinfected at the out
fall station. Both these requests Su-
perintendent Campbell will comply
with. Another letter asked Chairman
Hustace of the Board of Supervisors
to have the garbage department clean
up all private and public places be-
tween Asylum road and Fort street
and the waterfront and School street,
and have the garbage and debris burn
ed at the Kakaako crematory. Chair
man Hustace did not feel authorized
to clean up private grounds. but the
chief of the garbage department was
commissioned a Board of Health In
spector which gave him the same au-
thority to enter private grounds and
inspect sanitary conditions that any
other Board of Health inspector would
have
Letters to the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Company and the Oceanic
steamship Company notifying them of
shipping and passenger requirements
We're read The requirements were
that no vessel for other islands ports
would be allowed to sail until the MEM
bers of the crew had been individual
ly examined by the Board of Health
physician, and after going aboard
would not be permitted to come ashore
again except for the necessary working
of the ship. Passengers must be ex-
amined on going aboard, and will not
be permitted TO come ashore again until
they reach some other port.
Fresh food originating in or brought
into Honolulu can not be shipped to
any other island port, except imported
goods in original packages. A deputa-
tion from the Merchants Association
called on President Pinkham yester-
day and asked that this be modified so
as to permit them to repack imported
goods under proper conditions. This
was agreed to by the Board, the
Boards agent to have supervision of
the repacking.
DR. Currie said that the regulations
in regard to passengers and freight to
other island ports were satisfactory to

FLEECING THE
CREDULOUS ONES
Natives Answering Free Cure
Ads. of WalIach Held Up
for Big Fees.

Ten big plunks for the first consulta-
tion with Wailach and seven and a
half for subsequent ones is the
schedule in force by the Atcherley-
wallach hui. That was the price quot
ed on Saturday to an old native named
S. w. Keaweamahi, who had seen the
advertisements of the faker in the Ku-
okoa Home Rula that wonderful things
could be done and who mad gone to
consult him ON behalf of his wife, a
paralytie.
He was met at the door of the house
in which Wallach holds forth under the
protecting wing of a licensed physi-
elan by Mrs. Atcherley and on ask
ing to see Wallach was told that there
were certain preliminaries to go through
before the learned one could be consult
ed, preliminaries of which she was in
sole charge. The first thing to do was
to hand over ten dollars, then he
would be admitted. All other visits
were to be paid for in advance at the
rate of seven and half per.
This was as far as the native cared
to go and he refused to dig up any
such sum as was demanded. He had
read that Wallach was in the business
of curing suffering humanity for the
pure unadulterated' love he had for his
fellow man and the especial aloha he
felt towards the Hawaiians After he
had been held up he inquired among
others known to Kim to be Wallach s
patients and was told that the terms
quoted him were the regular thing be-
ing paid by many.

CHIEF TAYLOR
UNDER ARREST
Elects Man From Police Station
and Is Charged With an
Assault.

Chief of Detectives A. P. Taylor was
arrested yesterday on warrant sworn
out by William Paikuli. charging him
with assault and battery This alleged
assault at the police station yest4r-
day morning, exaggerated reports of
which We're circulated about the
streets. appears to have been the SIM
pie ejectment from the building of a
fused to obey the repeated commands
Of the court officers to keep quiet.
There was an unusual lot of noise
during the session, the racket from
the building operations across the
street being added to by the whisper
ings of those seated in the courtroom.
Time after time the court officer
raped for order, but the murmur of
many whispered remarks continued.
Taylor spoke to one man in partic-
uIar, William Paikuli. who still con-
tinued to talk, whereupon the Chief
called him out of the room and again
told him either to be quiet or keep
out. The man wanted to know where
the signs We're that prohibited talking
and then, as stated by Taylor, an
nounced that he would do as he
pleased.
Taylor then ordered the man to
leave the building, and, meeting with
some opposition, pushed against the
man with his open hands and forced
him protesting down to the first land
ing. Here Paikuli grabbed the balus-
trade and refused to go any further,
when Taylor called Officers Ahi and
Apana and instructed them to take
the man into the receiving station.
After Paikuli had been taken into
the lookup and left for fifteen or
twenty minutes to cool off, he was
brought into Taylor's office, where it
was explained to him that there was
no desire to lodge complaint against
him for resisting an officer, but he
must know that the rules of silence
f4 fee court must be observed. Tay-|
f+Aii9jld him that he regretted that he
ha, compelled him to take the meas
ures he did. Paikuli was then allowed
to go.
The first thing he did was to make
the rounds of the newspaper offices,
and the second was to retain r.. G.
Peters as his attorney and swear out
a complaint upon which Taylor is
under arrest. He also talks of a dam
age suit for false imprisonment

MERRY HOLIDAY CROWD
PARADES BUSY STREETS

doing there from evening until far
into the night, when a stray drunk
was gathered in. There was no dis
turbance down town. nor did any COM
plants come in from any of the out
lying districts.
There was some complaint on the
part of the hackmen regarding the
density of the standing crowd before
the moving picture screen, the drivz
ers being unable to force their vehi-
cles through. although room was
quickly made whenever an automobile
honked. The street will probably be
kept clear for rigs tonight. 1t was
the expressed opinion of some. too,
that at least one of the pictures
thrown on the screen should have been
suppressed. 1t was simply disgusting
without any redeeming feature. and
the operators should have had better
sense than to display it in public.

about by the shoppers.

MINOR HACK ACCIDENT.

In the more or less of crush yes
terday afternoon towards six O'Clock
at the corner of Fort and Hotel streets,
a hack threading the crowd knocked
down a little girl, and for short time
it was thought that the child was
seriously hurt. George w. Smith pick
ed the little one UP and carried her
into his drug store, where it was
found that the child was only slightly
bruised and was more frightened than
hurt J. Ler wallach was the 0ceu-
