JUSTICE HOLMES AN UNLUCkY
SOLDIER,

One of the dignified pedestrians who
swings along Pennsylvania avenue, in
Washington, is Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes. Now comes a retired army
officer, who insists that the justice
was one of the most unlucky soldiers
of his acquaintance. During the civil
war he was wounded six times; in fact
about every time he entered an en-
gagement and you may rest as
sured," said his comrade, that he
was in every engagement that he
could possibly get into" 1t was while
his boy was in the army that Oliver
Wendell Holmes, the genial hearth
stone poet of the country, wrote some
of his most charming verse. With his
heart wrung by anxiety and suspense
his pen kept up the courage of many
another aching heart during those
dark days What a qualification it
would be for that poet who was so
widely loved if he could be present in
Washington today to see that soldier
boy, the pride of his home, occupying
a high position on the supreme bench
of the United States court.

CONCERT EXPERIENCES.

A prominent singer, who began his
career in giving concerts about the
country, had some extraordinary ex-
periences in towns where such enter
tainments were of rare occurrence.
One night, when he was persistently
applauded, he returned to sing a Sec
ond song, but was surprised by stem
torian voice from the audience:
''Oh, we don't want nothin' new!
Sing the fust piece over again.'
At another time the audience We're
so wildly appreciative that it refused
to consider the concert at an end, and
clamoured loudly for Just one more .
1t was given, and then another de-
manded. Patience failed the singer
at this point, and he begged his man
ager to go before the curtain and
state that he really was unable to sing
any more And thus was the state
u,ent worded:-
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.. Martin
can't sing no more tonight. He can't,
honest. His winds give out!"
A similar story comes from another
singer The lady had been taken i'll
after eating some decoction of ancient
lobster at the hotel, and sent her man
ager word that she really could not
sing. He accordingly appeared before
the disappointed audience, and an
nounced =,
Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Mer-
rfam amt here tonight. She could
MT come. She amt in mt circum-
stances to sing. She's eat some bad
lobster and it's troubling heri"

Our 1908 Easter Cards

We are now displaying one of the
handsomest lines of Easter Cards this
season that has ever been offered to
the trade. These are cut out crosses
in variety of shapes, decorated with
spring flowers, angels, and illuminated
texts. The folders are shown in many
styles, exquisitely colored and design
ed. One of the daintiest is a series OF
ten designs with delicate green bor-
ders and green palm leaf cross with a
few flowers in the center. The in
scription inside is printed in colors ana
gold
Among the novelties there are cut
out rabbits that have moving eyes,
and also a large hen sitting on a bas-
ket with holes in 1t, behind which IS
a moving card showing chickens peep
ing out through the holes. Among the
cunningest cards for the children are
little cut out chicks all dressed in their
Easter finery
Out of town customers would do web
to order early.

CENTRAL UNIONS
ASST. PASTOR
A Good Man Called From the
East to Take Up
Work.

| Rev. A. A. Ebersole, graduate OF
Chicago University and a man of much
experience in the vineyard Of the Lord
will, provided he accepts the call, be-
come the assistant pastor of Central
Union church.
This was decided at meeting of the
members of the church held last night.
| Ever since last summer DR.. Dsoremus
| scudder has been in communication
with the mainland with the object of
obtaining an assistant pastor for Cen
trail Union.
A week ago a letter was received
from Dean Bosworth of Oberlin Sem
mary. stating that he had found the
very man wanted in the person of Rev.
A. A. Ebersole. BY the same mail came
many other letters from prominent
laymen, Y. NJ. C. A. leaders, DR.. c. H.
Patton, secretary of the American
Board of Missions, w. A. Bowen, ETC.,
dwelling on the fitness of Mr.. Ebersole
for the position to be filed.
These letters were laid before the
trustees of Central Union church and
it was unanimously voted to supply
funds to call him.
On Monday evening committee
went over the letters and unanimously
voted to recommend the call to the
church.
Last night the members of the
church met in business session after
the prayer meeting and the action of
the trustees and the committee was
reported, and the letters of commenda-
ton read.
1t was unanimously voted to call
Mr.. Ebersole for a period of two
years. with the hope that, if mutually
agreeable, he will stay longer.
Rev. A. A. Ebersole served for seven
years as Y M. C. A. secretary in
Newark, Ohio, and ST. Louis, Mo-, as
Wen as other places. He then entered
Oberlin Seminary and will graduate in
May
He has q wife and three children
The letters of commentator show him
to be man of unusual ability, having
helped to raise $4,000 for Y. NJ. C. A
buildings in Ohio.
He also served as a teacher of some
large Bible classes and is recommend
ed by Dean Bosworth as a fine speak
er and a good preacher.
Mr.. Ebersole is much in demand
among the churches of the mainland,
but in order to enlarge his experience
is, it is understood, willing to come to
Hawaii.
He seems to be rarely qualified for
the position, and if he accepts the call
should make a splendid addition to
the working force of the church.
His great experience with young men
and his popularity among them is a |
strong asset, and if the church is for i,
tunate enough to secure his services it |
is to be congratulated.
1t is expected that a cable will reach |
the church in about ten days, stating /
he will respond to the call. If |
he decides to come, he will probably |
begin work on June 1.

SYMPHONY CONCERT To
RELIEVE MUSICAL DEARTH

The dearth of musical events in this
city has been much commented on dur
ing the past few years. Honolulu has
more than her share of musical ability,
yet concerts are generally too far apart.
The concert of the Honolulu Symphony
Orchestra tomorrow evening should,
therefore, be very largely attended, as
the organization is representative of the
best that Honolulu has of music. That
the program will be unusually interest
ing is generally expected as few cities
of the size of this can boast Of SO good
an orchestra. The final rehearsal at
Bishop Hall last evening demonstrated
that the orchestra is beautifully bal
anced and we'll practised and further
more that the choice of the program
was made with due regard to pleasing
the audience.
Reserved seats are on sale at Wall,
Nichols Co. The concert will be held
in Bishop Hall, Punahou College.
