chats dinner was served, which was
very abundant and all that one could
desire. Everyone seemed to do justice

come by E. K. Gray, then Mr.. Bole
gave a talk on the Gray descendants.

JOY at being able to be present. Seve-
raj selections were sung under the
leadership of A. R. Cowles and Mr..
1ray presided at the organ. Selections
on the photograph were listened to
and RAYMOND Guild took the pictures
OF the Grays. All went home feeling
that the day had been we'll and profit

IhlS sign Is permanently attached
to the front of the main building of
the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine
Company, Lynn, Mass.
What Does This Sign Mean?
1t means that public inspection of
the Laboratory and methods of doing
business is honestly desired. Itmeans
that there is nothing about the bus
mess which is not "open and above
board"
1t means that a permanent invita-
ton is extended to anyone to come
and verify any and all statements
made in the advertisements of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Is it purely vegetable compound
made from roots and herbs - with
out drugs?
Come and See.
Do the women of America continu-
ally use as much of it as we are told :?
Come and See.
Was there ever such a person as
Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any
Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick
woman are asked to write?
Come and See.
Is the vast private correspondence
with sick women conducted by
women only, and are the letters kept
strictly confidential?
Come and See.
Have they really got letters from
over one million, one hundred
thousand women correspondents
Come and See.
Have they proof that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
cured thousands of these women?
Come and See.
This advertisement is only for
doubters. The great army of women
who know from their own personal
experience that no medicine in the
world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound for female ills
will still go on using and being ben
Gifted by it; but the poor doubling,
suffering woman must, for her own
sake, be taught confidence, forshe also
might just as well regain her health

That was a great joke on the chill
dren Of this village Thursday evening
the blowing of the curfew at
o'clock. Guess Tins" watch was
fast.
A great deal Of interest attaches to
a circus parade, and when the Cole
Bros did not make the usual circuit up
Main to Third, through South to Sec
ond streets, but simply paraded on
Main street, there was great hurry
ing on the part of some sedate elderly
people to get sight at. the show.

SAILOR DRIVER IN
RUNAWAY ACCIDENT

There was runaway accident at the
baseball park yesterday afternoon, a
rig being driven by four sailors from
the cruiser Milwaukee dashing into
a Japanese hack. One of the sailors
was thrown out and rather badly hurt,
being rendered unconscious, while the
hack was wrecked. The four sailors n
the rig were celebrating hilarieusy, so
much so that the driver allowed the
reins to go while he waved his cap,
then, to regain his steering gear, he
climbed out over the bow of the car
riage on to the shaft bowsprit, grap-
ping for the ribbons. The horse, al
ready maddened by the driving it had
been subjected to, bolted past the park
entrance, throwing the sailor and
smashing into hack on the corner of
Beretania avenue. There was gen
eral ail-roend smash, but no persons
other than the driver were injured.

NEPHEW Of
L HUNG CHANG
Chinese muItimilIi0naire Was
in Honolulu Yesterday
on Siberia.

Ii Ching Tun,e nephew of the late
Earl Ii Hung Chang, was probably the
most distinguished passenger aboard
the Pacific Mail liner Siberia which
passed through Honolulu yesterday.
Ii Ching is head Oh a commission ap-
pointed by the Emperor of China to
study trade and industrial conditions
in the United States in connection
with Chinese immigration, and is ac-
companied by Pond SEE Chi, the under
secretary of the Board of Commerce
and Agriculture of the Chinese Empire.
Mr.. Pond speaks English fuently; the
head of the commission does not.
Interest in LII Ching centers largely
in the fact that he is making his first
visit to the United States, and that he
is one of the richest men of China, his
fortune being estimated in the millions.
In fact, according to the secretary, he
is a millionaire Part of his for
tune came from the division of Ii
Hung Chang's immense wealth. Lii
Ching IS a member of the Judiciary de-
partment, with headquarters at Pc
king.
The commission was appointed last
year, which was to go to the United
States, and thence to Europe, meeting
halfway round the world another
branch of the commission which start
ed through the Straits of Malay. Mem
bers of the commission became i'll at
Singapore and the commission eventu
ally returned to China.
Our purpose is mainly to go to the
United States and Europe to see how
trade is carried ON there in compari-
son with our methods said Mr.. Pond
SEE Chi aboard the Siberia. sOur Chi
nese merchants desire to learn what
trade. Our report to the Board of
cerning methods of carrying on trade
with foreign countries, similar to re-
ports made by commissions sent out by
other governments.
Mr.. Pond stated that Mr.. Ii belonged
to the progressive element of China,
and it was his purpose to study Ocei-
oShSoA AhNeAOOo tiiett NSIIhnd bC-
gin to develop along more modern
lines. He has hopes to develop trade
facilities that Chinese. capital might
be employed in organizing steamship
lines to get a share of the results.
Mr.. Pond SEE Chi has been in the
United States on several occasions He
is a graduate of a school in Hartford,
where he and Tony Along,
formerly of Honolulu, and now resi-
dent of Hongkong, were not only class
mates, but roommates. In the same
school today Tony Afong's son is
student, and is now editor of the
school paper. Mr.. Pond accompanied
the representatives OF the Emperor to
London to attend the coronation of
King Edward VII.
The distinguished visitors were met
by the Chinese Consul and entertained
at the consulate, and were also driven
around the city in company with the
Consul

WHARF A MENACE.

The approach to the Haekfeld wharf
is a menace to life. Continuous heavy
draying over the planks has caused
them to silver and wear awav until
some are so thin and weak that
horses are frequently breaking
through. Yesterday, while the Siberia
was in port, visitors to the vessel had
ample opportunity TO observe the dam
gerous spots. Here and there bis
holes We're overlaid with a piece of
plank, or stick was thrust into a
hole in a vertical position, each stick
representing a warning to drivers and
pedestrians. In other places heavy
planks have replaced old ones. and
these are two and three inches above
the adjoining worn-out surface. There
is no judging whether one worn-out
board is stronger than another and
only when a horse plunges a hoof
through can it be known Just where
the weakest places are. At night the
conditions are even worse for then the
warning posts cannot be seen in the
darkness.

NEW ASSISTANT
PASTOR IN PULPIT

Rev. Amos A. Ebersole, the new as
sistant pastor of Central Union church,
preached for the first time yesterday
morning His text was one of the
notices of the church, from the tenth
chapter of John, tenth verse: 81 come
that they might have life, and might
have it abundantly He preached a
very strong sermon, that was listened
to with marked attention by the very
large congregation present.
Mr.. Ebersole is a pleasant speaker
with an oyatorical manner, and has a
very good voice, sympathetic and full
of power. From the favorable impress
sion made yesterday, the new assistant
pastor will have a promising future
as a preacher.
He graduated from a high school and
then taught for three years in public
schools, afterward taking a two years
course in Hillsdale College Following
this he was principal of high school,
and then took a graduating course at
Chicago University. After seven years
of !. NJ c. A. work, he attended Ober-
lin Theological School, graduating
therefrom few weeks ago. He was
sought after by the American Board
OF Missions to take charge OF college
IN India, and also was offered several
good positions in the States. but de-
elIned them all to come to Honolulu,
one of his reasons being that his family
OF growing children required an oppor-
tunlty to attend American schools.
