FIRST MOVING PICTURE SHOW
TAKES SETTLEMENT BY STORM

On Thursday evening last new mir
aee happened at Kalaupapa. On that
evening R. X. Bonine, the moving pic
ture expert, threw his first picture on
the screen before an audience of a
thousand lepers, and there was great
gasp of awed establishment and keen
delight when the pictures really moved
and did things. Cheers, tears, gasps
and soul satisfying laughter greeted the
pictures in turn, and when the reels
put aside for the first entertainment
had been exhausted, the people of Ka-
laupapa and Kalawao, in body, cheer
ed their thanks to the man who had
brought these wonders to them and to
those in Honolulu who had through
their contributions made these miracles
possible.
1t was a great day for the people
of the Molokai Settlement, and it was
a great day for Bonine. To the lepers
had come a new marvel, greater far
than the sight of the mighty White
Fleet, which Unanswered past their

BILL is
PASSED IN
HOUSE

The new enabling act 10 allow tho
payment "of certain persons for SER
vices actually rendered to the city and
County of Honolulu passed second
reading in the Senate yesterday through
the adoption of the amending report OF
ihc Ways aud Means Committee. There
was no opposition to the bill, As shown
by the appendices to the bill the May
or's payroll amounts TO the sum OF
SiS52.46 and the Supervisors payroll,
certified to by the County Clerk,
amounts TO S2s,523.lS.
Consideration of Senator Fairchild's
resolution To fix the office hours of all
government departments from $3.50 in
the morning to p. m. passed its second
reading amended 50 the authority Of en-
forcing the hours of labor is placed in
the hands of the Governor of the Ter
ritory. Senator Chillingworth was N
triiie curious about the provisions of this
resolution, and his questions brought
forth an emphatic statement from SEN
ator Fairchild that he favored decided
reduction in the present distribution
of responsibility and authority.
With majority of FIVE, the House
yesterday passed bill to raise the pay
of all the Republican oilicehoders in tina
City and County of Honolulu, a particu-
larry pathetic plea being made by some
Of the members for an increase in tho
pay of the members of the Board of
Supervisors. As usual, nothing much
was said or thought of the interests of
the taxpayers, who will have to pay the
Supervisors more ON account of the
much time they put in fighting tho
Mayor and will also have to foot the
bills incurred in the same foolish fight.
Immediately afterwards the House
voted down bill to increase the pay
of the road laborers, the last vote being
sensible but not consistent.
These two measures and the long de-
bates thereon took up the greater part

For the first time came to these peo-
pie some tangible evidence of the fact
that the great outside world was such
as others had tried to tell them it was;
for the first time some of them saw
the streets of cityj saw places where
the ground was white with snow, saw
strange beasts and men and women do

again rose the cheers of those who wit.

SAVES MANY LIVES

Had it not been for the wonderful
presence Of mind of Engineer Mike
lIardee of the o. r. & l.. company,
here night have been sad ending to
the trip of the excursionists ON the
Committee Special to Haleiwa yester.
day.
Just before reaching Waialua sta
ton the front wheels Of the engine hit
part Of the rail where there was n
defective frog and the engine jumped
the track. without losing his nerve,
lIardee put on the brakes and the en-
CINE plowed into the sand at the side
of the track, coming to a quick stop
through the action of the brakes.
The passengers were hardly even
Jared, and none of the cars left the
track; but it was evident that there
might have been serious wreck if the
engineer had not stayed by it SO npbly.
All the passengers on the train were
loud in their praise of Mike Hardee
and Bob Leslie, who was firing with
him, and expressed themselves as con
yinced that the prompt action of the
men on the engine had saved the lives
of many of them.
