Series OF Sermons

The pastor of the CONGREGATIONAL
church. Rev. w. j. Brown, began a
series of sermons on the general theme,
THE Place of the Church in Modern
Society,"" Sunday evening. Il.
The first sermon was on the subject
1.-The Men and the Church" By many
it was pronounced one of the finest
sermons Mr.. Brown ever delivered dur
ing his present pastorate. It was a SER
mon every man in Dickinson should
have heard, regardless of creed or belief.
It was an eloquent appeal to the men to
take a greater interest and RESPONSE
bility in the church and in religion.
After a brief but convincing statement
of the position that the American man
holds in modern society the speaker
went on to show in a plain. straight
forward consideration of the existing
conditions, how little attention men are
payine....to the workings. Of the church.
preferring, through indifference or other
reasons, to leave all the responsibility
to the other sex. s. d
Mr.IBrown did not hesitate to speak
right out and his arguments were well
brought out and sustained by convincing
illustrations and examples. If the first
sermon iss ~ sample of the others to
come, the series promises to be q

to appeal to every passerby. Those in

Mary Nolan, Miss Louise Clark and Mrs.

In one corner was the cigar stand,
oriental looking in its decorations Of red
and yellow crepe paper and stocked
with many popular brands Of cigars.
This was a lodestone for the men, for
cigars are something very useful and an
every day necessity and therefore the
booth appealed to them. Those in charge
were Misses Beatrice Lish and Margery
Cuskelly.
The booth for useful and fancy articles
had a liberal stock of many varieties of
goods ranging from aprons. busters, etc,
to fancy china. pictures, art goods and
the like. This booth was in white and
made an effective background for dis
playing the many different articles. A
wheel of fortune was run in connection
with this booth and proved a source of
much revenue. Those in charge were
Mrs. Frank Lish, Mrs. Catherine Ray,
Mrs. J. H. DAILY, Mrs. Dan Manning,
Mrs. Michael Mckinley, Mrs. Joseph
Cuskelly and Mrs. Michael Drury.
The fish pond was at the. right of the
big candy booth and did a rushing bust

chinery from the firm controlling these
patents, the city was allowed the privi-
leee of copying the system.
The above is a description in as few
words as possible of the way the city
system will work when completed. The
construction of the plant is interesting to
watch and well worth a visit. The con-
tractor is Charles Bake of this city,
whose bid was S.. 694 for the pump
house, reservoir, catch basins and
piping. In addition he is to do the work
of digging and reflline the ditch for the
sum total of S., 259. He has sublet the
contract of digging and building the
brick work of the well to Mcclellan &
Sutherland. While, the estimated cost
was a little over So, 165. it will reach
nearer SIC. o00. The pump house is con-
siderable larger, the piping all of a
heavier quality and more money laid
out in equipment, accounting for the
increase. However, the system will be
well worth the extra amount and the
city need have no fear of any waite,
famine. The cost of the land, four acres
at $500. is not included in the original
estimate but is in the SIC, 600.
NOTES OF INTEREST
The pump house is to be equip pee
with electric lights and telephone anG
a man will be there during the Who'll.
day. The grounds about the building
will be laid out artistically and are to bs
beautiied with trees and shrubs, making
the place pleasing to the eye.
Superintendent Littlehales' econom,
saved the city quite a sum. BY pullin,
UP nearly 800 feet of the pipe sunk il
the city hall we'll and using it agian
quite an expense was saved.
The two 30-H. P. electric motors whicl
will run the pumps are from the Genera
Electric company of Schenectady and i
is expected they will be shipped soon
The plan of Nj. Littlehales is to get tn
wells, laying of pipes and erection o
the building all completed as soon a
possible and then the machinery cal
be installed less hurriedly.
/. If the city W has a municipal light.
ing plant. it will probably be located OF
these four acres of ground. The city nov
owns 7 acres of land for its water sys.
tenn includin6 one are where he tonl
(water tower) is and two where tn.
present pumpings tation is.
Few people are aware tina tthe new pump
house is on Sims street, the street lead
ing from the depot and the central stree
running north and south. This mean,
that when that section of the city gets
built up, the station will be finely
located.

OFFER GAME AS
YACHT BENEFIT

At meeting of the Kalanianaole
Baseball League held last night it
was decided that the last game of
the season, between the Kaala A. C.
and the Chinese A. c., be played off
at the grounds of the Honolulu Base
ball League next Sunday, admission
to be charged and eighty-five per cent.
TO go to the fund for the building of
the Hawaii transpacif1c yacht.
The only thing to interfere with this
is the tact that the trustees of the
Honolulu League are opposed to hav-
my any more games played on the
grounds this season. They refused the
use of the grounds to the socker foot
ball players and also to the All-Ha-
wall and the st. Louis teams, when
they wished to play a match game.
The grounds are soft and are being
placed in better condition, and while
this work is being done it is doubt
full if the trustees will care to have
them used. The matter has not been
suggested to them as yet, but proba
bly, will be today.

HILO AND THE

1t has been settled definitely that
Hilo viii have chance to see the
Wild West Show which was given in
this city, under the direction of Eben
Low. Low, accompanied by Angus Nc
Phee and Johnny Winters, leaves for
Hilo this morning on the Kinau, and
will make all arrangements for the
show as soon as they reach Hilo. The
news of the attractions which will be
offered, viii be advertised freely among
the various ranches on Hawaii and
Maui and it is expected that besides
the Hilo people a large number of
visitors from the ranches on both these
islands will be in attendance.
Winters and McPhee have both been
riding a good deal since their arrival
here and should be in much better
form than they We're when seen in
this city. They will do their best to
show the Hawaii cowboys a few new
stunts in fast work with the rope.

SURF RIDING
IN AUTOMOBILE

Surf riding in an automobile is
new sport which the kamaainas have
not yet taken up, but which was start
ed last Sunday on the other side of
the island Nelson S. Riley, who is
visiting this city with big Studebaker
touring car, was the inventor OF the
sport. His new venture in this line
took place at the Hauula beach, to
windward, and it hardly proved to be
the most pleasant experience which one
could undergo in an automobile.
The Hauula beach has long been
noted as one of the meanest spots
which is to be encountered by those
driving around Oahu and yesterday was
no exception. Riley had number of
his friends in the car and attempted
to follow the track of another machine,
which had gone out far towards the
water, rather than keeping in close
along the sand. He had not thought
of the fact that the first car was
great deal lighter than his, which
naturally made some difference. The
first thing that happened was the stop
ping of the car. Then it began to sink
and it looked as if it might be en-
quilted in a quicksand 1t sank down
to the hubs Of the wheels and then
another trouble appeared The tide
was coming in very rapidly and began
to splash over the machine.
This did look serious and the men
who were in the machine began to
rush madly round to see what could be
done. Inside a few minutes the water
was being dashed all over the machine
and the dust pan was filing up with
sand Heroic methods were adopted
and finally the machine was pulled out, |
though it looked at one time as if it
might have to be left there till the
tide went down. No damage was done, !
however, and the big car came back
to the city in fairly good shape, though |
carrying good deal of sand ballast |
which had been washed in during the |
trying experience.

Seats for the engagement of Frank

day at the Wall, Nichols Co.'S store,

O'Clock in the morning until in the
evening. From to $3.50 o'clock in the
evening the box Office at the theater
will be open for business. Telephone
orders will be taken either at Wall,
Nichols or the theater office.
The first play of the engagement,
"A Daughter of Dixie is to be given
tonight 1t is a dramatization of
Henry Blossoms great novel, Check
ers,'' and while it does not contain so
much of the element of the race track
as the dramatization which has of late
been touring the United States, it has
more of the heart-interest and beauty
of the original story in it.
Mr.. Cooley, as Drift, the race track
tout who, despite his slang and swag-
ger, is a man clear through, has one

MANY AUTOS GO
AROUND ISLAND

Sunday was a great day for the au-
tomobilists. The rain on the pail was
a bit unpleasant but as a rule the
machines made good trips and the
downfall was only local one in that
vicinity. Harry Baldwin, who is down
here from Maui, with his Stanley
steamer, was among those to make the
trip around the island and accomplish
ed it without the least trouble. His
car is the first Of its type which has
been seen in this city and is very
popular one in some parts of the East,
particularly in the vicinity of Boston.
1t is a great hiil-elimber.

Riley, George Cooke and others made
the round the island trip, stopping at
Haleiwa for lunch or dinner.
