Mother's Day.

About three years ago an appre-
ciative daughter desired to commem-
crate the anniversary of her moth
er's death. 1t was not only the
thought of laying some flowers on
mothers grave, but it occurred to
her to her that 1t would be beauti-
full tribute to all mothers, the living
as well as the dead, If their children,
on a given day, would unite in the
simple wearing of a white flower and
thus make Mothers Day universal.
The papers everywhere caught up
the idea, and in two years it swept
over not all of North America, but
was heartily welcom I'd in other
lands. The purpose OF Mothers
Day, as conceived by Miss Anna Jar
Wis, of Philadelphia, U. S. A. with
whom it originated, is day in
which all lands as one nation may
unite in honor of mother.
The second Sunday in May of each
year is proposed as the day when
mother is to be specially remembered
and universal motherhood exalted In
the esteem of every man, woman and
child. The plan is to make it not
only sentimental observance, but as
far possible to clothe it with the
sanctity and dynamic power that
comes from concerted action. The
wearing Of a white carnstion or other
white flower, the beautiful emblem
Of truth and purity, will be ilial evi-
dence that the wearer loves to honor
his mother living, or her memory II
dead.

CONRAD TO RETURN
Central College Secures Service of For.
mer Musical Head.

Prof. d. F. Conrad will be at Gen.
tral college next year. This glad
news rejoiced a great many of the
friends OF that gentleman and of Cen
tral college when it transpired Thurs
day afternoon. Mr.. Conrad was
the head of the piano department of
Central college for ten years and he
was ideally fitted for that position.
Two years ago he resigned and went
TO Ward Seminary of Nashville, Ten
nessee, at an increased salary. Cen
tral college, it is understood, had to
offer pretty good price for his seryi-
ces, but he is undoubtedly worth it.
President Gibson made the fol-
lowing statement:
"When Miss Larmer accepted the
position of director of music of Gen.
tral college last summer she did it
with the understanding that she
would probably want to spend this
coming year in study. A month or
so ago she positively decided to do
this and so informed me.
II at once entered into correspon-
dence with Mr.. D. F. Conrad and the
result is that Mr.. Conrad will return
to Central in September and take
charge of the Music department for
at least the next three years. Since
leaving Central two years ago Mr..
Conrad has been teaching and direct
ing the music department in Ward
Seminary, Nashville, at very large
salary.
"Miss Larmer has given great sat
isfaction as superintendent of the
music department of Central College
for Women. She is pains-taking,
enthusiastic and always holds before
her pupils the highest standards.
She Is much loved both by the faculty
and students of the college and there
is deep sense of regret that she
cannot be connected with the college
next year"

Recital of Misses Blackburn and Mar,
shall

One of the most enjoyable recitals
of the year was that given Thurs
day evening by NJ s S
Blanche Blackburn and Miss Bess
Marshall, candidates for graduation
in voice and expression respectively,
in Murrell auditorium, Central col
lege. Both of these young ladies are
widely known and popular in Lexing-
ton and considerable interest was at
tached to their entertainment. The
weather, too, was propitions, and
quite a good crowd was in atten-
dance.
Miss Blackburn is the ouly pupil
of the vocal department to be grad.
uated this year from Central. Her
voice is a clear, sweet soprano of
sympathetic quality and ample
range. Her tones are always true
and in perfect tune. Her enuncia.
tion is unusually distinct-even the
German words we're easily under
stood-and she sings with confidence
and ease. Her opening number con-
sisted Of group of FIVE beautiful
German songs. They were Schumann's
Die Lotosblume, "Ich kann's NIGHT
fassen," and 'Tch grolle NIGHT" Ne
WINS Herbstgefuhl and Won Fielitz's
Lass mich dein'Auge kussen. On
her second appearance she sang the
aria "Cara nome" from Verdi's Rig
oletto, and on her third "Knowest
thou the land" from Thomas Mignon,
Hawley's "When Love is Gone" and
Emery's "Burst, Ye Apple Buds"
The audience was highly pleased
with all of Miss Blabkburn's work
and applauded warmly after every
number. She showed evidence of
understanding and OF instruction of
the highest grade. Miss Margaret
Aull assisted her considerably by ar
tistic and accurate Accomplishments
Miss Marshall is one of the most
attractive of the many good readers
at the college. She is thoroughly at
ease on the Stage and speaks with
feeling and clear Interpretation. She
read scene from Dickens David
Copper6eld as her first number; T.
A. Daly's "Da Mexicana Girl" J. W.
Riley's A Life Lesson There Little
Girl, Don't Cry, Grace Fields Fish
ing and William W. Martins Apple

piece was given with a musical set
ting played daintily on the piano by
Miss Larmer. To close the program
Miss Marshall read "The Portrait
of Bulwer Lytton. To have tragic
selection as the last was pleasingly
no, u and it showed Miss Marshall's
talents to great adv antage. She
kept the audience in absolute silence
until the final end. She, too, was
the recipient of many plaudIts
The verdict of those present was
altogether favorable to the young
ladies. The program was the longest
of the year and was carried off ad-
mirably.

PREPARING FOR
JUNE L EVENTS

Two important things happened yes
terday i'm regard to the Y. NJ. c. A.
events at Eapiolani park on June II.
The first Of these was the success Of
DR.. Hand in securing the band for the
whole afternoon the music to be sta
toned in the glandstand. The next
importer, thing was securing of per
mission from the park commissioners
to close the race track from June l un-
til after June II in order that it may
be put in first class shape An OH
cial notice to this effect will be pub
lished tomorrow. The Y. M. G. A.
will keep the track properly lighted
at night while the repairs are in pro-
gress.
The relay race ny runners of the
different schools having been called
off, there is some talk of substituting
a half mile handicap run in place of it,
putting Bill" Rice at scratch. 1t is
claimed that if Rice were given scratch
(the only way he will rum and Sing
Chong allowed ten yards, the former
would overhaul the noted Punahou
Splinter easily in a quarter mile run.
If this event is a go, it will be thrown
open to competition from all of the
schools.
Training for the big Marathon on
June II is coming on in great shape.
One or two boys have strained themsel-
yes entertaining but otherwise the
work of preparation has been quite sat
isfactory al the way through.
Sylvester Garcia, of Schofield Bar
racks, will go into the bicycle race and
will also be a leading figure in the
motorcycle events. Some years ago
"'Sylvester,' as he was known to
everyone, was one of the leading
wneelmen of the islands and won num-
erous prizes for riding. He claims to
be still up to the mark.

RIVERSIDE FEUD
STILL UNSETTLED

The splitup in the Riverside League
remains about the same today as it
was yesterday. The standpatters are
going ahead with the work of reor-
ganizing, and are holding out the olive
branch to the boilers. They announce
that if the dissatisfied teams do not
come back into the league, other teams
will be accepted into it and the sea-
sons games will go on as though moth
ing had happened.
The two boiling clubs have done
nothing since yesterday. They are
said to be on the lookout for new
grounds and claim to be able to Or
ganize a pretty strong league. Both
factions will hold meetings during to-
day and there may be some tangible
results before tomorrow afternoon.
