What will probably prove to be the
hit Of the evening of January Is, in
the entertainment to be given for the
relief of the Sicilian sufferers, is
speciality which will be seen. for the
first time in Honolulu, consisting of a
double sextet of children all under
eleven years old This charming nov
city called 'Pickaninnies is com
posed and arranged by Mrs. Riven
burgh, and has always created great
enthusiasm whenever produced, in New
York eight encores being responded to.
To demonstrate the ability of Mrs.
Rivenburgh as an instructor, it must
be stated that in two hours after
meeting the children they had master
ed the stunt-steps, music and words.
The eleven little tots who are to i'm
personate the pickaninnies are as fol-

WASHINGTON NOT EASY
OVER THE PANAMA CANAL

viii have been written. The Repub-
hcans of the committee are to hold
executive sessions from ten clock till
one o'clock every day. This program
will probably be kept up during the
next month or two. or at least till the
bill has been completed. II is thought
probable that the first draft of it will
be submitted to leaders of the House
and probably to President-elect Taft,
because of the desire to get a bill which
will meet with his approval.
Plain Sailing for the Bill.
Just at present everything looks like
plain sailing for the bill in the House
of Representatives Chairman Payne
will have it ready to report as soon as
the extra session of Congress has con-
vened and organized. But scores of
Republican members, despairing of get
ting the desired rates of duty for the
products of their own States, are be-
ginning to confab with Senators and
to arrange deals by which the rates
fixed by the House can be increased.
Indications grow that Senators Aldrich
and Hale will rewrite the tariff bill,
just as Senator Aldrich did twelve
years ago with the Dingley tariff bill.
The Ways and Means Democrats are
able to take the usual holiday vacation
because, as soon as the hearings closed,
the Republicans excluded them from
further participation in preparing the
bill. They will know as little about
the prospective schedules as any eiti-
zen who reads the newspapers thor
oughly for the next two months. But
Champ Clark, the Democratic leader,
observed the other day that there would
be no hard feelings on that account
If we Democrats were framing a
tariff bill,'' he said, eve would treat
you the same way. We would do the
work ourselves and would not want
Republicans around to bother u.s.
In the meantime the Democrats, of
course, will gather material for attack
ing the Republican attitude on tariff
and for attacking the forthcoming bill

No section of the great Southwest l can compare in it's development with 1 the Imperial Valley. We have de- cided to spend nearly 5000 to get our pianos known to your more than 20,- 900 people. We are building first class pianos especially for the California climate.
 Already such world artists as Jac- chia, Lebegott and Farribini have pro nounced our pianos unexcelled in tone and general workmanship by any so far produced in America. Baumeister was g years with Stein way, years with Weber, years with Steck, and founded the piano bearing his name; and his more than 40 years at the bench means that our pianos embody the best features of several leading makes.

SUNDAYS IDEA
Of SAVIOUR
PREAeES POINTED SERMON
ON THE CHARACTER OF
NAZARENE, AND ADDS TWO
SCORE MORE TO CONVERTS.

Billy Sundays fishing for souls
yielded almost as many last even
ing as the night previous, more
than 40 coming forward at his in
vitation. His talk was on the char
acter of Christ, and here are some
of the things he said:
Can you find anything that
Jesus ever did that would dishonor
God? Can you put your finger on
anything in His life that would be
out Of place in the Son of God?
What did He ever do that did not
benefit man? He never injured
any one by word or deed. Did
Jesus ever lie? Did He ever mis-
represent anything or raise His
finger against anything good? Did
He ever turn His back on anybody
in trouble? Wherever He went
lives were made brighter, men and
women purer, homes happier. Can
you find any fault with that? He
cured the sick. He opened the eyes
Of the blind. He cleansed the
1epers and He helped every one
who sought help from Him.
"Has anybody injured you?
Jesus is against 1t. Has anybody
cheated or defrauded you? Jesus
is against it. Do you believe that
every man should have fair wages
for the brain and muscle he gives
his employer? So does Jesus. Do
you believe every workingman
should give honest equivalent for
what he receives? So does Jesus.
Do you believe some of these old
trust magnates ought to be in hell?
So does Jesus. DO you believe
every yard should contain 36
inches, every pound 16 ounces?
Jesus believes SO. too. Are you
against all crookedness and graft
and booze fighting and thievery?
Jesus is.
He shot his preaching at the big
gest guns. in the synagogues of His
day. He said: You old Holsters.
q fine bunch you are. You swindle
the widows and orphans and then
go to church and make loud, long
prayers. You're rotten you've
like sepulchers, like graves in a
graveyard, nice to look at. but full
Of rottenness inside. You're gen
Grafton of vipers. and the whole
gang of you ought to be in jail
Christ told this to the men who,
in their day. had the greatest repu-
tation for religion there was in the
country"
In his afternoon talk on what a
Christian should be, Sunday said:
you've got to live a Christian
life If yos&xpect to do any good
The old skeptics may tear the
Bible to pieces If they want to, but
h true Christian life will always be
an unanswerable argument IN ia
vor of Christianity. All the preach
ing in the world won't save a soul
If You don't live the life, and If
you do you don't need any preach.

final court entry is made some
time next spring. The officers OF
the National Association OF Manu-
facturers are fully aware of the
tremendous financial burdens they
are able to pile upon the labor or
CARNATIONS by dragging them into
court, and their policy is to cripple
the unions and disrupt them Ii
possible by forcing the dissipation
of their funds in legal proceedings.
Whatever may be the plans OF
the employers banded together to
destroy organized labor, they can
look for two very important devel-
opments, viz: Increased agitation
for secret, oath bound organiza-
tons among the workers, and in
creased activity to seize control OF
the political club with which to
batter down those whom one
doesn't like.
