TAYLOR HERE
To SELECT SITE
Ex-Treasury Official Will Help
About the Federal
Building.

At last Mr.. Horace A. Taylor, at one
time Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury, and who has been long expected
in Honolulu to select a site for the
great public building in which it has
been proposed to house all the Federal
offices in Honolulu, has arrived, and
he brings word that the selection OF
that site will occur during his pres
ence here. Mr.. Taylor is not now with
the Treasury Department, having re-
signed his position on July last, after
a long term of service, to put into exc
cution a cherished plan, that of
a tour of the world Towards the end
of June he and his wife left Washing
ton, went up to Maine for four months,
then came by easy stages to Califor-
mia, where they spent three months. 1t
is his intention to leave here by the
next steamer to continue on the tour,
which he may prolong into three years.
Though Mr.. Taylor is no longer con-
nected with the government officially,
he has been asked to select the site for
the public building while here. Not
being connected with the government
he did not want TO do so. but said that
if the government would send an agent
ne would assist the agent IN ms Searcn.
This agent will arrive in Honolulu be-
fore he leaves.
Speaking of the difficulty between the
State Of California and the Federal
government over the Japanese ques-
ton, Mr.. Taylor expressed the opinion
that it would all be cleared away and
that an amicable agreement would be
arrived at in the present conference in
Washington
During his long stay in Washington |
Mr.. Taylor had become acquainted |
with number of Honolulu people, and |
il was conversations with them that /
had chiefly determined his desire to
see this place. Governor Carter, Mr. |
A. Young, Mr. ]. Atkinson and a num- /
Der of others had all contributed to this
end.

Dear Sir: Your favor of the 4th
inst, addressed to our president, Mr.
E. H. Hartman, in relation to a dry
dock at Honolulu, was duly received,
and his representative Immediately
made inquiries about the matter in
and learns that nothing
whatever has yet been done by the
Navy Department in Washington re-
garding it. so that, therefore, there was
nothing that we could do about it at
present.
Mr.. Hartman is disposed to do what
he can to aid you in your efforts, but
1t would seem as if some further ac-
-ual work had to be done by the peo-
pie of Hawaii before anything practi-
cal can be done by US.
No suggestion has been made that
| clause covering the expenditure OF
such an improvement should be in
serted in the Naval Appropriation Bill.
Yours truly,

night last night, paLdemonium break
ing forth IN every quarter of the town
in which there were any Chinese resi-
dents, on the stroke of twelve. whis-
ties, giant firecrackers, fireworks and
Chinese bands announced the event and
kept up the announcement for some
time to such an extent that it was
hardy devil indeed who stayed it
through.
The principal point of merrymaking
was the Chinese United Society hall.
where the Bow Wongs held a reception
until midnight, when they assumed the
name of the Chinese Reform Society
and installed their new officers. Their
hall had been gaily decorated for the
occasion with lanterns, greens. stream
ers and flags, the dragon of China and
the Stars and Stripes being draped to-
gether. The occasion was enlivcned
by music from Hawaiian quintet
club and a number of speeches from
the Chinese leaders.
Today from 11:30 a. m. until 1870
p. IN. the society will hold a public
reception in their King street hall, a
general invitation to the public being
by the secretary, Chang Kim.
The reception committee will be COM
posed of some members in "Prince Al
berts' to look after the comfort of
the haole guests and by others in the
Chinese costume.
While all Chinatown will be en- fete
to celebrate the beginning OF the
year OK the Emperor and
the 2507th year of Confucius, the more
active part of the celebrating will be
done by the members OF the Bow Wong

WHEN JAPANESE SHIPS
MAY be EXPECTED

The visiting Japanese squadron is ex-
peeted to arrive here some time be-
tween the 14th and 10Th. Advices re-
ceived some time ago by Admiral Very,
Indicated that the fleet would reach
Honolulu the latter date. However, as
the vessels have had the weather with
them since leaving Japan, they should
make better time than would ordinarily
be the case.
Last night, display by an electric

report to be circulated that the squad
ron was approaching and signaling
with searehlights from several different
directions.

four heaping teaspoons of which Is
sufficient for the cereal part OF

that the user is perfectly nourished

Grape-Nuts food can be used by
babes in arms or adults. 1t Is ready
cooked, can be served instantly, either
cold with cream, or with hot water or

SkOrn and SkOuse.

l was invited by one of the men In
the family to go with him one morn
ing for drive of ten miles, as he
was going on business to see q bach.
elor. It was near noon when the
business was completed, and the
bachelor invited us to stay for dinner,
and as clincher to his invitation,
added: "I'm going to have skorn
and skouse for dinner"
THAT settles It," said my com.
panion; swell stay"
AS had read all the newspapers
In sight, and several stories in a mag.
azine had found on the table while
the business was being attended to,
l now had nothing to do but watch
the preparations for dinner.
The "skouse" was made by putting
some beef drippings into an old-fasb.
toned iron kettle, then two good-sized
onions were sliced into the drippings
and fried brown. then quart OF
boiling water was added and several
large pieces of the day-before's pot
roast; now four potatoes were cut
into rather small pieces and put in
the kettle with the onions and meat.
When the potatoes were cooked,
little thickening was added, and I as
sure you the odor of that "skouse"
did make me hungry.
The "skorn," kind of hot bread
the "home folks" had taught the
bachelor to make, was quickly put
together, and have never eaten any
bread of the kind that was more pal
atable. Two teacupfuls of flour, two
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one
half teaspOonful Of salt, two table,
spoonfuls of sugar, two eggs and one
cupful of water were put into a milk
crock and stirred vigorously, then put
into gem pans, and baked half an
hour in pretty hot oven. When the

How to Utilize Broken China.


When the next breakage takes
place in the house I would suggest
that my readers collect all the pieces,
great and small, and carefully put
them on one side. I have no doubt
by the time the long winter evenings
are here the collection will have
grown rather formidable. want
to tell you how to make them into "a
thing Of beauty"
A large pudding dish makes a very
handsome flower-bowl when decorat-
ed in the following manner: Procure
some putty. and spread on the bowl
with q palette knife. Take your
pieces of china and press them into
the putty; put them as close together
as possible, but do not let them over
lap each other; no piece of china
should be large. Before the putty Is
put on the dish the pieces of china
should be arranged on a piece of
paper as they are intended to be
placed on the bowl. so that all the
pieces may be quickly laid on the
putty before it hardens.-Florida

dishonorabIe from start to finish and
indecency marks 1t as her own.
ant one of the two worst things
about profanity Is that 1t Is immo-
raj root. branch, tree and fruit. Ca
tering as 1t does to all that Is low IN
man, hand and bond servant as IL Is
to all the hosts of sin, PROFANITY dis.
integrates the unity OF 1ndividuai
personality. No man can be profane
without dishonoring God and dam
aging himself. We cannot give vent
in word to the evil that is In us
without spreading contamination not
only through our own lives but also
through the lives Of men and women
all about us. Profanity Is unclean.
II strikes at the foundations of NOR
atty. It undermines the sense OF
honor and destroys the faculty OF
cool, deliberate judgment; under no
circumstances is 1t susceptible OF
justification and its immortality Is un.
questionably fact.
But the last and the worst charge
that may be upheld against profanity
is that 1t is ungodly. Thou snail
love the Lord Thy God with all thy
heart and mind and SOUL" says our
Father, The curse Is heartless and
It destroys our finer faculties do we
give It time. Under its blighting In
fluence the power OF mental appre-
citation of the glories OF God Will be
lost. It Is soulless to the last ex-
IRENE. How can man be god!y
while cursing the children Of God
in the name of the Father who has
given them life? How can a man
be godly when the springs OF sin are
rushing from his mouth? All, no!
Profanity is ungodly. 1t shames God
and disgraces man. 1t reviles the
Father and degrades His sons. God
is good but profanity is evil God Is
kind but the curse Is verbal murder.
God is truth but the curse cares not
for truth.
Unnecessary, unmanly, indecent
immoral and ungodly profanity Is
the most frequent as the most insidf-
GUS of the sins of the tongue. And
vet bad as 1t is when used by men,
it is most abhorrent when coming
from the lips of a woman. Not that
it is morally any worse, but that II
sounds worse. II you really want
to become positively assured OF the
horridness of profanity you need but
hear a woman curse.
We need to-day a strict insistence
upon cleanliness of language. NO
man can be friend of Jesus who Is
ungodly in his talk. Christ proved
divinely the possibility of forceful
speaking without the use OF profan-
ity. And to-day men are most force-
full, most manly. most convincing
when they do not swear.
