CHAPTER VlIl.-Continued.

The valet hurried to the dresser and
returned with the dukes state eye
glasses. These the duke perched de-
liberately upon the end of his noble
nose. He opened the letter and read
its contents. The valet, watching him
slyly, saw him grow pale, then red, ana
finally purple,-wrath has its RAINBOW.
His hands shook the glasses slipped
from his palpitating nose. And l grleVe

sWore something marvellous to hear.
"Damnation!" he said, or some such
word. "The little fool" Then, sud
denly remembering his dignity and the
phrase that no man is hero to MS
valet, he pointed to his glasses, at the
same time returning the letter to its
envelope, this letter which had caused
this momentary perturbation. Call
the minister of police. You will find
him in the smoking-room off the CON
servatory. Make all haste!"
The valet flew out of the door, while
the duke began pacing up and down
the room, muttering and growing, and
balling his fists, and jingling his shin
ing medals. He kicked over an inof-
fensive hassock and his favorite hound,

ed German oaths he let go. OTIS a

such a pleasant evening at cards!"
The duke was not wholly unselflsh.
In less than ten minutes time the
valet returned with the minister of
police. The duke Immediately dis
missed the valet.

asked the minister, shaking in his
boots. There had been four ministers
of police in three years.

OUR PROMOTER.

This report would not be complete,
were the writer not to mention Mr.. f.
w. Damon's connection with the or
ganization of the alliance. The exist
ence of our society is due mainly to
his active interest in the welfare of
the Chinese students. Without him,
we would not be here in a corporate
body this evening. He is the mainstay
of the alliance, and it is to be hoped
that you will give him your unquali-
fed support in his work for the educa-
ton of the Chinese youth in Hawaii.
In your deliberations this evening,
it is to be hoped that you will exer-
else due discretion in electing your of
fcers to manage the affairs of the
alliance for the ensuing year, so that
the next year will be even more sue
cessful than this. Whoever the new
officers may be, | bespeak for them
your unqualified support.
Respectfully submitted,
CHAS. W. AHFOOK,
President, Chinese Students Alliance
of Hawaii.

To the Members of the Chinese
Students Alliance of Hawaii:

| To the Members of the Chinese
| Students Alliance of Hawaii:
| We have come to the end Of year 8
work, and what the alliance has done
augurs well for its future success. At
| this meeting, it becomes the duty OF
him. who has been more or less IN
timately connected with the work OF
the alliance since its organization, to
reeapitulate it's doings for the last
twelve months, so that they may form
basis for the work of the coming
year. 1t is unnecessary for him to
dwell upon the business of the various
committees, as their respective chair
men Will give you detailed reports.
WHAT THE ALLIANCE HAS DONE.
We have endeavored, so far as lay
in our power during the past year of
our existence, to live up to the OBJ
iects for which the alliance was or
ganized, and we have not been with
out success. Students attending the
various schools of the city, through the
alliance, have been enabled to make
the acquaintance of each other, and to
learn to appreciate and respect each
others opinions, and good-fellowship |
between them has thereby been formed. |
The alliance has been the means of |
stirring up not only the students who |
are attending school, but also the |
young men who are out of school and |
in business, to the realization of the
of obtaining higher edu-
cation. We need not mention the |
names of our members who have left |
Honolulu to further their education
they are still fresh in your
The dialectic lines SO clearly
drawn in every Chinese community |
have been to a large extent obliterated |
as far as our members are concerned. |
The alliance has collected fund of
$40 to be applied towards the educa-
ion at Mills Institute this year, Of
ome deserving Chinese youth.
These are few of the things accom-
olished by the alliance, and their
,enefcent results will be far-reaching.
THE STUDY OF CHINESE.
One of the objects of the alliance
S to promote the study of the Chinese
language and literature. In view of
he fact that the majority of the mem
,ers are deficient in the knowledge of
chinese, it is regretted that We are
Unable to report progress in this direc-
ion. Last summer g. number of our
members did form class for systema-
lie study, but it was of short duration
t is to be hoped that the coming
rear win witness the establishment of
strong class for the study of our
'wn language and literature.

AFFILIATION WITH THE SHANG-
Hal FEDERATION.

You perhaps remember that the cir
cular letter of Mr.. T. FL. Lee, president
of the World s Chinese Students Fed
Grafton, was indirectly the cause of the
organization of the alliance. There
had been much sentiment in favor OF
our affiliating with the Federation, be
cause of the good work it has done.
And on writing for information with
regard to the conditions imposed, we
found them to be these, viz:
~. That an entrance fee of ST
Mexican per member be paid to the
headquarters as pledge of membership
in the Federation.
(2). The alliance is requested to
send reports to the Federation once a
year (before the 18th of the 18th
moon).
Having given these conditions due
consideration at the quarterly confer
ence held on Oct. 13, 1906, you had
voted to join the Worlds Chinese
Students Federation. But owing to
the small number of members present
at that meeting, and because of some
adverse criticism, it was thought best
not to notify the Federation until this
representative meeting. Acting upon
your vote above referred to, we have
already collected 1920, as part of our
pledge money for membership in the
Federation. This amount represents the
subscriptions of thirty-two members.
It remains for you to decide at this
meeting or at some subsequent meeting
whether you will confirm the vote of
the meeting held on Oct. IS, 1906.
WORLDS CHINESE STUDENTS
JOURNAL.
We wish to remind you that we are
the agents of the World g Chinese
Students Journal. Doubtless you have
read the articles therein contained with
the deepest interest. It is bimonthly
magazine in English and Chinese, and
is published by the Worlds Chinese
Students Federation of Shanghai. 1t
is periodical well worth the perusal
of every intelligent student, especially
of those who wish to keep in touch
with Chinese student matters and with
affairs that are now transpiring in the
great empire of China. The third num-
Der of this journal has just been re-
ceived. 1t is an exceptionally interest
ing number, as it contains an account
of the recent metropolitan examina-
tions at Picking, and a group picture of
the successful candidates, among whom
lulu boy. So far we have sent only 10
subscriptions for the journal. This is
not very good showing considering
the number of our members. It is to
be hoped that we will work harder the
coming year and show the people in
Shanghai what we can do in the way
of soliciting subscriptions. We have
almost forgotten to mention that we
receive commission of Is per cent. for
our services. This is encouraging, as
it helps to replenish the treasury of
the alliance But it is not so much
the money we can make as the good we
do by introducing this valuable journal |
among the people of these islands that |
we ask you to make little effort to

fits of even a common school education.
The money for this scholarship has been
very generously subscribed by the mem
bers. The amount is now in the hands
of the treasurer, and is available at
any time. 1t remains for you to de-
eide when the scholarship will be
granted and who will be given power
to grant it, and then due notification
may be given the Mills Institute au-
thorities. We would suggest that the
granting of the scholarship be left to
the discretion of the principal of Mills
Institute. You have done well in
founding this scholarship. It is step
in the right direction-to help others
and you are to be congratulated for
your generous action. It is to be hoped
that you will be able to do even more
than this in the coming year for the
cause of education.
NEEDY STUDENTS DETERMINED
TO GO TO COLLEGE.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Damon,
we have obtained the following names
of students, who have determined to
go to college, but who lack financial
means to carry out their wishes in this
respect: Ching Wa Chan, Chang 10y,
Lau Long, K. Y. Ching, Lii Chin Fen,
Sing Chong Pung, Alloy Soong, Bertha
Kau.
Mr.. Damon has promised to do what
he could for them. And it is to be
hoped that they will obtain such as
sistance as will enable them properly
to equip themselves for future useful
ness.

HEADQUARTERS.

The matter of devising ways and
means to secure a place for the perma-
nent home of the alliance has often
been brought to your attention at our
various business meetings, and has been
a subject for earnest elaboration on
the part of your officers. In this con-
nection, it should be mentioned that
the officers, after considering various
sites, found that the rear room of the
Chinese Y. NJ. c. A. hall was most
suitable for the purpose of the
alliance from the standpoint of loca-
ton and economy. The rent charged
was 81 per month, and Mr.. Damon and
Mr.. Thwing had each promised to con-
tribute 81 each towards defraying this
item of expense. But rent is only a
small portion of the necessary running
expenses of clubroom. In view of
income of the alliance, the officers have
advised you to defer action on this
score until such time as your finances
will justify your obtaining headquar-
tiers. However, we believe that within
the next year, when the membership
increases and the finances improve, it
would be advisable to secure club
room for the alliance, for 81 permanent
home will add greatly to the stability
of orr organization.
ACCOUNTS IN THE OFFICIAL
ORGAN.
You have doubtless noticed that ac-
counts of the various meetings of the
alliance, and notes concerning its mem
bers, appear from time to time in our
official organ, The Oriental Student.
For this you are indebted to Mr. Ko-
an Yet Ching, who sacrificed much of
his valuable time for the good of the
alliance. Thanks are due the author
titles of Mills Institute for allowing
us the privilege to use their paper to
publish the doings of the alliance
ALLIANCE SCHOLARSHIP.
AT the quarterly conference held on
Jan. II, it was voted to found $40

OF it's bowsprt and jibboom made it look a
sweet ship" indeed TO eyes that never
more will see so smart sailing craft in
any part OF this ultra practical world.
Commander Robert E. Peary found the
clipper bow desirable in his Arctic steamer,
the Roosevelt, not from the standpoint Of
aestheticism, but because of its servtceabl-
ity. The Roosevelts is not a pretty bow,
as it lacks the true clipper sweep; but
Commander Peary found 1t mighty effec-
tive in crushing through ice-clogged
waters. Most of the Polar ships have had
curved bows.
The clipper bow is the rule on the fine
feet OF fore and alters that represent all
that Is left Of the sailing glory OF the
American merchant marine. All the FIVE
and six masters, and the only seven mas
ter. the Thomas w. Lawson, recently con
verted into an oil carrier. have the kcut-

gone, and mere steel poles without a shred
IF muslin in place of shapely masts, yards,
booms and gaffs. the big record holder
seems to the retrospective old salt nothing
more than floating hotel But it is solid,
and that is what counts with the average
passenger. And when one gets used to the
leviathans he rather likes them, provided
he Is unhampered with traditions.
There is no disputing the shellback' s
declaration that ships with the clipper
stems were and are handsome. The origi-
nal object OF this form OF bow was to give
greater strength to the bowsprit and jib-
boom, TO which are attached the stays car
rying the head sails. After the bowsprit
was no longer needed in steam vessels there
was a natural evolution toward the
straight and cheaper bow. A very large
number of sailing craft and auxiliaries
still hang on to the clipper bow, including
the fve-masted German ship, r. C. Rick
mers.

and by carefully prosecuting his attentions

able TO make the girl enter into fiirtaTden
