We had q little excitement Ia our
church few Sundays ago. Mrs. MO
Intosh Is remarkable for her singular
absence Of mind. Or. Potts, the preach
Or, was reading from the Scriptures
the account OF the deluge. and when
he came to the story Of how It rained
FOR 20 many days and nights Mrg. Mo
Intosh became SO deeply absorbed IA
the narrative and so strongly I'M
pressed with It that she involuntarily
put up her umbrella and held It over
her head as she sat in the pew.
Mrs. Butterwick. who sits in the
next pew in front, always brings her
dog to church with her, and when Mrs..
Mcintosh suddenly raised her umbrel-
Ia the action affected the sensibilities
Of Mrs. Butterwick's dog in such .
manner that he began to bark furious
". Then the sexton came In and tried
to remove the animal, but # lodged
into vacant pew on the other side Of
the aisle and defied him, barking al
the time most vociferousiy.
Then the sexton became indignant
and flung a hymn book at the dog;
whereupon the dog Jew out and bit
him on the leg. The hubbub in the
church was by this time, Of course,
something simply dreadful Not only
was the story Of the deluge interrupt
ed. but the wicked boys in the gallery
actually "sicked" the dog at the sex
ton, and seemed to enjoy the contest
exceedingly:
Then Deacon Jones came after the
dog with his walking stick; whereupon
the animal actually dashed toward the
pulpit, and ran up the steps In such q
fierce manner that DR.. Potts all at
once mounted on the chair to get out
Of the way Of the beast, and he said
that II this disgraceful scene did not
soon come to an end he should dismiss
the congregation. Then Deacon Jones
crept up the steps, and after q short
struggle he seized the dog by the hind
leg and walked down the aisle with
him, the dog meanwhile yelping with
supernatural energy.
MRS. Mcintosh turned around to
watch the retreating deacon, and as
she did 50 she permitted her umbrella
to droop over SO that the end Of one Of
the ribs caught In Mrs. Butterwick's
bonnet. A minute later, when she
Strengthened up the umbrella, the BON

SCHOOL PRINCIPALS
CALLED 7OGET Their

superintendent Babbitt has called a
meeting of the principals of all the
city schools for $3.50 clock this after
noon, at which he will get reports of
the attendance of pupils at all the
schools by grade and room. Then he
will endeavor, with the aid of the prin-
cipals, to figure out a plan by which
accommodations for all pupils can be
made. The idea is to fill all rooms to
their capacity or needs, Independent Of
whether all the pupils in any room are
of the grades in that room or not. That
is. the idea is that one room shall not be
partly filed while another is overflow
ing. 1t is not certain just yet how
much of an increase in the number OF
pupils there is. Several schools, par
ticularlv the Normal, the Central Gram
mar, the Kaiulani and the Kamehameha
are overcrowded. But it may be that
other schools are not so much so.
The increase in the number of pupils
last year over the year before, was
largely in japanese and Chinese chill
dren. The increase of Chinese children
