HOW GOOD MUSIC MIGHT
BE HAD FOR HONOLULU

Editor Advertiser: Concerning good
music for Honolulu, we want it. AS
to how much we want it, there is
where lies the mystery, that battles
managers and promoters. I submit
that this want is worth building up.
Musical taste is no accident though
some would appear to class it as a
bit of adventurous inheritance.
If the next generation is to be made
up of music lovers-patrons of first
class music-the results will follow
closely on the form of our public in
Now our schools are doing
much, are we backing them? When
they get together once a year after
working up effective choruses, such as
are to be heard nowhere else on the is
lands, do they get a good house-a

large expense connected with first-class
soloists? The hope of it has by no
means left us.
What ought to be, is an endowment,
sufficient to bring soIoists from the
Coast every year; then tickets to the
Music Festival could be made as low
as to meet only expenses connected
with music, house, etc. Something less
than $1,000 annually would supply good
soloists. We know for we have tried.

willing to come here for a guarantee

AN OLD BULLET HOLE.

The bullet hole in the window in the
Attorney-General' S room, which was
sought to be made the basis of a story
to the effect that an attempt had been
made on the Attorney life,
was made during the Rebellion of 1889.
The Attorney General never noticed the
hole until about six months ago, though
it is old enough to be entitled to a
pension.
