ACTS II.


Now when they had passed through
Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came
to Thessalonica, where was a syna-
gogue of the Jews: and Paul. as his
custom was, went in unto them, and
for three sabbath days reasoned with
them from the scriptures, opening
and alleging that it behooved the
Christ to suffer, and to rise again from
the dead; and that this Jesus, whom,
said he, I proclaim unto you, is the
Christ. And some of them were per-
suaded, and consorted with Paul and
Silas; and of the devout Greeks a
great multitude, and of the chief wo-
men not a few. ) But the Jews, being
moved with jealousy, took unto them
certain vile fellows of the rabble, and
gathering a crowd set the city on an
uproar; and assaulting the house of
Jason, they sought to bring them forth
to the people. 8 And when they found
them not, they dragged Jason and GER
tain brethren before the rulers of the
city, crying, These that have turned
the world upside down are come
| h1ther also; 7 whom Jason hath re-
| eeived; and these all act contrary to
the DEGREES of Caesar, saying that

WHAT THE Y.M.C.A. IS
DOING FOR HONOLULU

"What is the Y. NJ. C. A. doing
anyhowg" asked a man who did not
know. Are there others! If so, let III
state briefly what it is doing, or has
recently done:
1. It is just closing year of night
school work that has enrolled over loo
students, most of them over eighteen
years old. These men have studied
such practical things as bookkeeping
shorthand and typewriting, mechanical
drawing, English, arithmetic, CONNER
eial law, sugar mills, and automobile
operation.
2. 1t has enlisted between $50 and
200 men in physical exercise, and thus
made better men of them.
3. Its physical director has given
special attention to many men who were
in bad physical condition, and greatly
helped most of them.
4. 1t has enrolled over 200 men in
daily reading of the Bible.
5. It has been a social resort for
hundreds of young men, clerks, me-
chanies, soldiers, sailors, students, and
so forth.
6. 1t has practically been the home
of many young men coming to the town
to work, and living in boarding houses
7. It's Bible classes, meetings, and
other religious work have made some
men and remade others. Ask down at
the Jail what it has done for the pris-
oners.
s. It has conducted tennis tourna-
ment, an indoor baseball season, put
good socker team in the field, and
is now playing off handball tourna-
ment in which SO men are taking part
9. It has paid its bills monthly
Not a bad example).
1G@ Tt has monthly socials attended
by an average of over 100 men.
II. Provided a lecture on sexual
purity that drew 700 men to the Opera
House. The only decent talk many ever
heard on the subject.
Il. Found work for a number of
men.
IS. Pushed its activities on modern,
up-to-date business lines.
H. Maintained membership of
over 500 for the past year.

WHERE THE MEMORIAL
MONEY SHOULD CD

Editor Advertiser: I notice in this
mornings issue of the Advertiser a
communication signed EtCitizen,'' adj
vocating strongly the putting of the
money raised for a Mckinley memorial
into some kind of monumental struc-
ture of a purely decorative or com
memorative kind.
Without attempting to follow your
correspondent in all his reasoning, I
would like to call attention to the
fallacy involved in the contention that
structure of the kind proposed will
be more permanent and enduring than
anything in the way of school.
"Citizen' reminds us that school
buildings grow old and decay, and in
the course of time have to be de-
molished. This is very true, but your
correspondent oyerlooks the fact that
the essence of a school, especially of
the higher grade like high school or
a college, is not the walls and floors,
not the foundation and roof, but ex-
lists in its organization. and spirit, its
traditions and ideals. These are the
things that endure and bear fruit when
the material structure shall have crum-
bled and disappeared.
Perhaps, in the course of two or
three generations, perhaps in less time,
the building now being erected on Vic
toria street may cease to be. Fire may
consume it, lightning or earthquake
may shatter it, or the exigencies CT
shifting population and changed mate
rial conditions may call for its re-
moval. But will the Mckinley High
School therefore cease TO exista Most
assuredly not-the name will endure, the
organization will endure, above all, the
spirit and purpose will endure to be a
source of light and leading for gen
erations yet unborn.
Therefore | say, let the plan pro-
posed by Principal Scott be carried
out in the spirit in which it was
originally conceived. Let the words
" Mckinley High School" stand out
boldly and prominently on the front of
the building; let an artistic tablet or
bust of the man we wish to honor
adorn the vestibule or the main hall;
and let the money that remains after
these things have been provided for
be put into the permanent outfit of
the school; library, laboratory, appara-
tus and the like, with perhaps me-
mortal window in the library or the
general assembly room.
| am sure that if William Mckinley
himself could be consulted he would
desire to have the money contributed
in his honor used in the way above in
dicated, rather than in any monument
or merely architectural adornment,
however beautiful or stately.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Incursion of Outside Orders Attracted by Repair of Banking Conditions.

New York, Jan. 13.-It is not custom ary to await the actual occurrence of an expected event before taking action in the stock market to accord with the event. That fact was the main one il- lustrated by the action of stocks to-day in response to Saturdays disclosure of restoration of surplus over the legal reserve required of the New York clearing house banks. The extent to which the restoration had gone on Sat urday was the occasion of some sur prise, but it had been evident for some time previously that events were marching rapidly to this outcome. The most important of the buying of stocks induced by this development proved, therefore, to have been already accom- plished when operations were resumed at the stock exchange to-day. There was a considerable ineursion of outside orders attracted from various quarters by the rapid repair of the banking pos ition and by the inviting upward cours of prices which occurred late last week. But stocks were literally sup piled to meet this new demand, all though prices were bid up considerably higher than Saturdays level to accom- modate it. Most of the new outside buying orders were executed at the higher level of prices of the first hour of the day. That proved also the most active of the day and there was not able lapse in the animation of the mar ket after that. There was an effective rally again after the realizing sales were suspended. The profit-taking was conducted with caution and skill. the selling not being pushed aggressively on the declines, but on any advance the volume of offerings was quick to sell again Professional traders sold the market when they found these ob- stacles to any advance. Special atten- tion was attracted by selling of anoth- CT kind, small in itself, but of signifi- cant effect on sentiment. There was realizing sales on odd lots of stocks, bought outright in the demoralized per iod ow the panic by small psudo-in- vestors. on which such large profits have since accrued that the holders feel impelled to sell out Railroad traf- fic officials report continued shrinkage in the freight movement This testi- mony in addition to the returns of act ual earnings of some railroad systems, had to do with the renewed weakness of bond issues of several companies which have been subject of unfavorable runors for some time past The reces- sion in traffic returns is so severe as to bring into apparent doubt In some cases the ability to earn fixed charges The irregular tone thus caused in the bond market made bad impression The selling to take profits was desisted from in the last hour of the day and U. | s. Steel led strong rally in stocks
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales par value $4,42s,t00.

NOTES OF MARKET
Stocks Open Strong and Bring About Many Profit Tax
 ing Sales.
ORDERS TO BUY ARE SMALL
Persistent Heaviness of Rock Island
 Said to be Due to Inside Liquidation.

With still greater activity than on Saturday, stocks opened strong yester- day morning, and during the hfst nan hour continued to rise sharply, some or the gains being 1 to points. lhis brought many profit-taking sales ana gradually prices sagged off, until. at midday, many stocks were down 10 Saturdays closing prices, or lower But the market took this liquldation fairly well, and early in the afternoon a slight rally was in progress. The strongest stocks during the morning were the particularly union Pacific and Atchison and Reading.

 of improvement; that numerous or ders are now coming in. and that the steel authorities express the opinion that January will show up consider ably better than December, during which month new business was at very low ebb.
 The continued influx of large amounts of cash from the interior, with advices from many places that cash settle ments are now the rule and that the outside public is disposed to return hoarded money to business channels, had favorable effect on sentiment, as did the remarkable statement of the New York banks on Saturday, restor- ing surplus reserve only s2,ooO,0o0 smaller than year ago at this time. The steady improvement in the mone- tary situation did much to offset the bad effect of poor railroad earnings.
 Regarding St. Paul there is an i'm pression in some quarters that the Standard Oil interests have been be- hind the upward movement in the stock, but have been selling in other quarters of the list. The fact that there is no Hartman in the St. Paul makes the stock a better market leader than Union Pacific which may be the subject at any time of an adverse ac- tion by Attorney General Bonaparte.
 Some selling of Reading in the early trading was due to the bad earnings statement of the Erie for November. The traders who sold asserted that the enormous loss in net could be taken as indicative of condition now general in the anthracite business. and one which should be reflected more or less by all roads. At the same time, the sarly Reading selling was well ab- sorbed.
 The much better demand for new bonds and the ready absorption, some of them in large amounts, had a stim- ulating effect on sentiment, reflecting the greatly improved monetary condi- tions. It was reported to-day that a very large part of the new per cent New York Central equipment trust certificates had been disposed of Likewise, it was said that the new Rock Island refun1ing 4 per cent bonds were finding a ready market. Trans actions on the Stock exchange in the bond department continued heavy to- day, with about s1,Ooo,0oO changing hands in the first hour.
 United States Steel common opened on $500 shares. The first price was 2S IA, up Is of a point, with 2S 5-S touched in the early trading. As yet the Steel shares have not been leaders, something that the bulls would like to SC very much, as it is admitted on all sides that an upward movement fin them wSuld stimulate general confl- dence regarding the business outlook

That financial interests were distrib- general belief. That stocks held mod erately firm during the first half of the day raises the question as to who were the principal buyers.
