Then, 10! from coud-rift emerged angel form;
In stately measured rule the storm:
Her perfect radiant features gloom of night.
Her rippiing trailing tresses rejecting golden light

When gentle Peace should hover above a purer earth?
Noc so; electric had star to star

And Nature in her silence, ut Nights high noon

 We've decided it's too hot just now, at noon, to walk over to the woods. We're going to bed until it's cooler" Georgiana announced. Why, what's the matter, Mrs. Morningstarg she asked, for the landlady still looked pale in spite of the proffered extra dol lar.
 Are you and Pete having a row?" asked Daisy, with relish, finging a greasy cushion off the settee to chair across the room.
 "Och, me and Doc we're havin' de- bate! He wants fur to sleep in the haunted room oncet. I ain't in fur it much. But" she said doubtfully, q guess I must give in, too, seein' he's promised extry dollar on his board fur the chanct."
 The girls stared, puzzled, and Kin ross had look of being cornered. But even in his annoyance at such "give away" the added liveliness of Geor- giana's face in its rare self forgetful- ness under her momentary surprise was not lost upon him.
 Board? Does he pay board?" ask ed Daisy, half reaching for her note book. "A farmland isn't boarded"
 Mrs Morningstar was confused,

"Och, Doc" she stammered, "how's q body to answer lem? We'll, to be sure," she added, becoming resource ful, "a farmhand's board is counted as part pay"
 "How fine of you, Peter" said Geor- giana enthusiastically, Ito rise above this sordid, superstitious fear! Your spirit of inquiry, too, Is fine. am glad you are undertaking to do this, Peter. believe we can rise to plane where fear is entirely eliminated"
 There's mousse" remarked Peter experimentally, pointing under the set tee, and simultaneously the two girls, with genteelly repressed shrieks, sprang to their feet.
 Tt ain't no such thingw Mrs. Morningstar indignantly denied the re- flection on her housekeeping. Tt ain't no mices in my house. A mousy house that there don't have"
 Daisy, holding her skirts high enough to reveal her pretty ankles and dainty shoes, and Georgiana, trembling, stood out in the middle of the room.
 ''Is mice eliminated from that there plane you referred to, missus?" Peter inquired.
 Georgiana's smile was wan. "Do you mean to be facetious, Peter7"
 "Supposin' the haunted room is- mousy," he suggested.

 Kinross took his cigar from his mouth and measured the btcolic youth before him with cold eyes, which made the others fall in embarrassment. Then, turning his back on him, he continued to smoke.
 Abe scowled, hesitated and finally, with evident reluctance, gave up the fight and slunk away, going slowly back to the house.

OF WHACK
LATE IN LEAVING AUCKLAND
AND DELAYED BY TROUBLE
WITH STEERING GEAR.

Delayed by bad weather and repeat

Oceanic steamship Sierra, Captain
Houdlotte, arrived from the Colonies
this afternoon, docking az the Oceanic
wharf about $40 o'clock. She was
sighted off Diamond Head, TO the
south-eastward, about 1880 o'clock.
Owing to the trouble with her steering
gear she was assisted to the wharf
from outside the harbor by the tug In

main deck forward on the starboard
side made steep passage ashore for her
PASSENGERS when she locked.
The Sierra was nearly a day late in
leaving Auckland, n. D., and she had
rough weather to contend with for a
good portion of her trip. on numerous
occasions her steering gear refused to
properly obey the viii of her master
Throughout the trip this was a great
hindrance. Repairs will be made to the
steering apparatus while the vessel is
in port here. It is hoped to dispatch
her for San Francisco at midnight but
she may be two or three hours later
in departing. Captain Houdlette stated
this afternoon that there was little OF

CARTER MAY STOP
WORK ON DAM
Continued from Page one.)

There are of course, two sides to
this question of the fault but l have
about concluded that it would be best
for the matter to be referred to the
legislature.
There is one important matter to
be taken into consideration however,
i'm connection with suspending the
work: this is whether all work should
be suspended until after the legisla-
utre could take some action. It would
mean further delay, if this were to be
done.
After 7 came back last June, be-
came satisfied that the work was not
being prosecuted as it should be. Az
ter we had made the changes in the
style of dam. which were recommend
ed by our expert, I expected to see
the dirt flying on this work, but have
been disappointed. The last summer
was frittered away with delays and
what assurance have we that the ex-
perience next summr may not be the
same. The summer months are the
time of the year when the best part of
the work of construction is TO be done
but through the fault of either side,
the public works department or the
contractor, the work has not been pu
through as it should.

ACHI DRAF TING
CITY CHARTER
WILL PROBABLY BE INTRODUCED
SIMILAR BILL UP BEFORE.

W. c. Achi is drafting a bill which
he will try and have introduced into
the Legislature at the next session. The
bill provides a charter for 1.-THE City
and County of Honolulu" Achi in
tends drawing it up on the same plans
as that of the city and county of San
Francisco.
1t will probably be introduced into
the senate by Charles F. Chillingworth.
Senator elect Chillingworth has pro-
missed Achi to introduce for him any
bill which meets his views. There is
nothing binding however in the pro-
mise, according to Chillingworth.
A like bill was before the Legislature
of 1903 and it was a race between It
and the County Act which won out.
Achi was one of the charters supper
ters at that time in the Senate.

! cooperate in securing funds and to
forward the same by cable to the
Shanghai relief committee. After this
had been translated to the Chinese
Governor Garter addressed the meeting
in which he dwelt at some length on
the awakening of China that was now
in progress. He said that Hawaii had
been exceedingly fortunate in its ex-
perience with Chinese, as the Chinese
who had come here had ben of an UNI
usually intelligent class. There was
probably, he said, among his hearers
many who were better acquainted with
this awakening than he. Ex-Secretary
Foster had stated that this reform in
China was being effected by means Of
two great movements. One was for
education and the other to bring China
to the same standard of civilization
that was accepted by the rest of the
enlightened nations as the proper
standard. He referred to the estab
lishment of schools by the government,
especially for the education of the wo-
men, for it had been said that if the
nation had schools to educate the wo-
secured. Passing to the other reform,
the governor said that steps had been
taken to effect a change in the Chinese
system of laws, a system of laws that
had been established before the Justi-
nian code; step had also been taken to
establish a single language through the
country and recently the Empress had
announced the intention of establish
ing a constitutional form of govern
ment.
Passing TO the immediate condition
of the particular famine stricken dis
trict in China the governor said that
the crops had been wiped out by the
floods. the homes of the people oblit-
Grated. It was necessary to provide
these suffering people who numbered
15,00O,O0O with supplies, to keep them
alive until after the next crop had
been gathered. From authentic sour
ces the speaker had been informed that
two cents a day would provide food for
one day for a single person. This es-
innate meant that $3.50 would keep
alive one person during the four or five
months period that would elapse until
the new crops could be gathered. The
governor drew a forcible picture of the
shocking conditions of people having
either homes obliterated and then hav-
ing to sit helpless and watch their
families starve to death. The COVER
nor expressed the belief that there are
many people in this community who
would be glad to contribute to this OBJ
ject
The governor directed Secretary At
kinsol to read some press dispatches
which would give further details Of the
extent Of the disaster. Atkinson did
so, taking the press dispatches in their
chronological order showing how seri-
Gus the famine was and how much
greater it had become than the earlier
reports had indicated, The informa-
ton in the dispatches was translated
to the Chinese.
Governor Carter said that he desired
to receive suggestions from the Chinese
