The announcement that two such
leading citizens as Judge Sanford B
Dole and Editor Walter c. Smith are
to speak tomorrow evening in Central
Union church upon the question of
World Peace, which is par excellence
the topic of most vital interest to all
civilized men today, is attracting deep
attention. The pending arbitration
treaty between Japan and America fol
lowing upon the months of war talk
by the yellow journals of both nations
lends all the more interest TO the oe-
casion. The church cabinet, which has
the meeting in charge, has sent special
invitations to all the Consular repre-
sentativeS of the nations that main

Kesponses indicate that the seats re

HAWAII BUSY
MARKING TIME
Nothing Is Doing in increase
OF Salary Bill at
Washington.

(Mail Special to the Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Hawaii has
been marking time here for week.
There is almost nothing that can be
done toward Hawaiian legislation at
this iuncture, as the House has battles
of its own to fight out, and the big
things are having an inning.
The amendment to the coastwise
shipping law has been introduced in
the Senate in the same form it was in
troduced in the House. Mr. G. B. Me
Clellan has talked with Senators Frye
and Gallinger of the Commerce Com
mittee about that bill, and been assur-
ed of the support of both Senators. The
bill viii probably be considered by the
Committee at its session next Thurs
day.
The leaders of the House Territories
Committee have advised the friends of
the Territory of Hawaii not to press
the bill for the increase of Territorial
salaries at this session. These leaders
argue that it will be preferable to let
the measure alone till next December,
when there may be some chance of
favorable consideration of it by the
House. In view of the disastrous ex-
perience with the immigration bill, the
friends of Hawaii here are disposed
to accept this advice The House is in
a very bad temper. 1t is hitting hard
at everything that can safely be hit at.
The omnibus public building bin is
still being held back in committee till
Speaker Cannon has chance to see how
his members behave with reference to
other important measures in which he
is interested. 1t is known unofficially
that the bill carries an item of S250,000
in appropriations for beginning the pub

SOCIETY LADIES
WILL DANCE WITH
THE BLUEJACkETS

Will the society women of Honolulu
attend ball given for the enlisted men
of the battleship feet, asked the Adver-
tiser yesterday, prompted by remark
made at one of the reception commit
tee meetings the day before by George
w. Smith, member of the executive
committee. Yesterday many society
women of the city answered the ques-
tion, and did so emphatically. OF course
they would attend such ball and dance
with the sailors of Uncle Sans battle
ships just as freely and graciously as
did the soeety women of Los Angeles
and the members of the exclusive Cali
fornia Club of San Francisco.
This answer was gratifying to the
members of the entertainment COM
mittee, which has worked diligently on
the plans for the grand ball to be given
to the officers at the Moana and Sea-
side hotels, and to be followed by an
other for the men. The members of the
committee, which met yesterday morn
ing, did not like the cold blanket thrown
on their plans, and said so, several of
them remarking that the objections
were coming in rather late In view
of the opposition developing, however,
nothing further in the matter was at

SAN FRANCISCO, May 7.-Never
since the days of the Spanish-American
war has San Francisco seen such a
frenzy of patriotism, and never in the
history of San Francisco have its peo-
pie received such a lesson in patriot
ism. The city has gone fleet mad, -
and the people do not intend to rest
nor expect to rest until they stop
from sheer exhaustion, and then it is
more than likely that new thousands
will take up where they left off-any-
way the end of 1t all is not in sight
yet
The whole inspiring spectacle is one
never to be forgotten-it ranks with
the old days when the troops went
marching down Van Ness avenue and
down the old Market street on their
way to their ships-and war. 1t ranks
with the days when those same regi-
ments came marching off the wharves
and up the old Market street, with the
bands playing, the tattered battle-1ags
back and forth in an ecstasy of emo
tion and patriotism. 1t ranks with one
other day-that of the earthquake,
when the people who had lined the
Tsidewalks and cheered their heroes.
themselves ran helter-skelter up old
Market street, fleeing with desperation
from the all-devOuring flames, which
swept away in a few short hours all
that remained of the old city-the part
of the city which made San Francisco
famous the world over.
And now-well this time it is the
sailors, the men of the new American
navy. who have marched up the new
Market street, up the new Van Ness
avenue, and who have been cheered by
the old San Franciscans. Did you ever
stop to think of the contrast now?
This time the new men from the East
are in the center of the street-they
are heroes of course-but they are
cheered by heroes too-cheered by the
men on the sidewalks who have met
adversely, faced the worst, and won in
spite of overwhelming odds-just as
those men in the middle of the street
have done in the past, and would do
again if they were called upon. Those
men who marched up the middle of the
street today gave San FrancisCans
lesson in patriotism but those men who
marched up the new street, knew that
the men on the sidewalks had made
that street over again in the short
space of two years. And so it was that
both sides marvelled, and both sides
reioiced 1t showed that after all
Americans are the same the world over.
The Atlantic fleet has astounded the
world by its voyage. and the men Of
that fleet were rejoicing in the fact
that they had ACCOMPLISHED what they
set out to do. San Francisco citizens
We're on hand to rejoice with them. and
to rejoice also because they had prac-
tcally accomplished what they set out
AtN do two years ago-rebuild a city.
What could be more fitting than that
the ships should finish their journey
here and what should be more fitting
than that the men from the East and
the men from the West should meet
on Market street. the new Market
street. and together celebrate the glory
of achievement. to know the satisfac-

GIRLS QUEER MALADY
Skin is Peelng Of by HandfuIs-Case
Has Been Puzzle to Physicians is
Now Recovering.

Sioux City, Dec. 1S-With her hair
her entire body a-tingle with the pain
consequent upon the peeling off of the
skin in gray hued scales, little Orpha
Potter, the 4-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles f. Potter. 4219 Van
Buren, avenue, Leeds, lies in the Sa-
marian hospital, the victim of one of
the strangest maladies that has come
to the attention of local medical men
In some respects the disease resembles
leprosy, the curse of the orient, but
it is unlike it in that the portions of
the flesh which shed the skin do not
die.
For the past week the little sufferer
has been bedridden at the hospital.
and during that time her condition
has improved noticeably. When she
came to the hospital she had been a
sufferer from desquemative intiamma-
ton of the skin for about two months.
Her skin was in such a painful condi-
ton that even the mildest ointments
could not be applied. At intervals
turnout the day busting powders We're
used, and tho the shedding of skin
continued, the tissue beneath the cpl
dermis is now beginning to assume
healthy color, and she is declared to
be on the road to recovery.
The scaling process has been of such
a rapid nature that at intervals dur
ing the day whole handfuls of the
scales are taken from the bed.
No more cheerful patient is found
within the walls of the institution than
little Orpha,' as she has come to be
called, and despite the tWitchings of
pain she has a CHEEKY smile ever for
the attending nurse and for visitors.
