Salvation Army Men Had Hot Contest
 on Chapel Street.

The fight was continued on Chapel street, and the contestants were apparently evenly matched, Officers Sullivan and Eagan happened along about this time and endeavored to sep arate them. The men refused at first, but seeing that they were up against fate they gave in and were taken to the station.

the effect of bringing down the price
of grain which was being held by
avarieious merchants in different places
Thus the people were receiving
double benefit. The price that these
men had been accustomed to charge
was two or three times above the usual
rate Dr. Taylor also described the
method that was adopted by the for
eign ladies in giving furnishing moth
ers with infants a supply of milk sent
by friends of the committee. This re-
lief was very much appreciated.
1t is hoped now that conditions will

THE k|LOHANA
ART EXHIBITION

Two visiting artists, Mrs. Mcneil
and Mr.. Otto Wix, have been given the
chance to show their work in Honolulu
at the present semi-annual exhibition
the pictorial circle of the Art League.
Mrs. McNeill s speciality is China
painting but unlike many artists who
chose this branch of work, she sketches
from nature or originally designs all
her subjects. Some of her Hawaiian
sketches in water color, which she pro
poses to use in Hawaiian dinner set,
are very finished pictures. Her strong
est China painting piece is vase of
unusual beauty. It has one continuous
forest scene around the entire piece
with a Madonna and child as the center
figures.
Mr.. Otto Wix is surely a sunshine
painter. His Mexican landscape are
full of the bright color and light peeu-
liar to that country. The work OF Mr..
Wix lends an added charm to the en-
tire exhibition for Honolulu has never
been treated to view of work of Mr..
Wix's excellence of Mexico's peculiar
beauty.
Friday and Saturday are the last
days of exhibition. The hours are from
10 until 5. Friday evening the exhibit
l.
1880 to 9 will afford the closing view.

HAWAIIAN BOARD FAMINE FUND.
Total to date.


This money, that has been sent to
China from Hawaii, was most great
fully received, and came at a time
when il was most urgently needed. No
city in the United States has shown
a better spirit of helpfulness to those
pitiful famine sufferers than has Ho-
nolulu. The money sent has been wise
ly used, by the missionary relief work
ers in the famine districts, and has
saved many lives and relieved much
distress.
DIR. Fl. B. Taylor, of Anking, who
has for two months done splendid re-
lief work, in the distribution of money
and food, gave recent report to the
committee in charge, which presents
some additional information as to the
aid given in the country villages. He
said:
1.-TWO foreigners were generally ac-
eompanied by the head men of each
village in the personal Investigation
as to the condition of each family.
To the most destitute tickets were
given The flour was sold at the rate
of 80 cash per catty, and the maximum
amount per day for each person was
one catty or one-half of catty for
a child. 1t had been found that In
giving out the flour to 5000 families
the work could be done in three days.
This would leave three more days in
the week when investigation of fami-
lies in other villages could be made,
and, if more money or food stuffs
should be Forthcoming, an additional
number could receive relief. The -four
had to be brought to Hsuchow-fu from
the nearest point on the Grand Canal,
some two hundred Ii away in bullock
carts, each cart carrying IS bags
He explained that the worst region
was between Hsuchow-fu and Suchien,
where proposed work on the Canal
would take place. The distribution

WOMEN AT FORTY.

There is a beauty quite apart from youth-the beauty of--the mature woman. Some there are that main tain that beauty does nes reach it's zenith under the age of thif.y-fivc CT forty. In a measure this IS borne out by the events of the antique past which may likewise be para,leled with instances of our own day. Helen of Troy appeared on the Scene at the age of forty. Cleopatra was past thirty when she met Antony. Aspasia, mar ried to Pericles whsn she was thirty six, was a figure brilliant In her world for thirty yea"s after When Diane de Poictiers was past thirav-six she won the heart of Henry II and he but half her age.

 Truly as one writer has it "The Lit tie Colonel" since her first introduce tion to the world is a captivating and lovable heroine, She is one of the most popular of her creators characters and Annie Fellows Johnston is, as she has long been, a most beloved author among girl readers.

A SANE CONVENTION.
Altogether Desirable, But Can It B
 Brought About.

Altogether Desirable, But Can It Be
 Brought About.
 The Washington Herald would like to see one sane convention held solely for the purpose of transacting the se- rious business in hand and not for the amusement or entertainment of 8 great throng of spectators, and it goes on to say that nowhere else in the world would the conditions that have existed here for decades be per mitted.
 Our great national party conNen- tions have undoubtedly been too much of both a mob and a circus, and the gravest and most important matters in which the people have a voice have taken place in a hubbub of confusion where the proceedings were almost in audible and the speakers most strenu- ous efforts mere faFcical performances of gesticulation and facial contortion Still, it is hard to see how these con- ditions could be changed without smaller halls for the convention and 8 limitation on the number of those ad- mitted.
 iWht an immense auditorium and a erowding mass of curious sight-seers, | it is useless to expect anything like the quiet and order necessary for dig nity and clear hearing and under standing, but if this movement for a sane and intelligent convention instead of sensational, spectacular show shal prevail, we may hope to see such meetings held in medium-sized halls with a limited attendance of visitors, and under conditions that will insure the minimum of disorder and interrup- tisn.
