NEW EDUCATORS At
kAWA|AHAO SEMINARY


Kawaiahao Seminary, now the Girls
Department of the Mid-Paeifc Insti-
tute, is to be congratulated on beng
able to secure such able helpers as
join the teaching force this coming
month.
Miss Lucy Tappan, of Gloucester,
Massachusetts, is to organize the be
ginning of the High School course.
Miss Tappan is Vassar graduate and
has taught both in Vassar and in the
University of Colorado. She has studied
in Germany, France and Spain and for
the past six years has been at the
head OF the Modern Language depart,
ment at Mt. Hermon Seminary, Nit.
Hermon, Massachusetts,
Miss Mary f. Kinney, a graduate of
Oberlin College, and for several years
most successful teacher in San Diego
and later at Miss Head s School in
Berkeley, viii add greatly to the
strength of the teaching force in the
grade work.
The Nursing department will be in
charge of Miss Leora Worthington,
graduate of Whitman College. Walla

tai and Sloane s Maternity Hospital.
New York city. Under Miss Worth
ington able instruction, the seminary
hopes to develop nursing course that
will train the girls to do efficient nurs
ing in our island homes.
Miss Worthington s sister, Miss May
Worthington, also a graduate of Whit
man College, is 70 be housekeeper and
in charge of the Domestic Science
classes. There viii be special cooking
classes for the girls in the higher
grades.
So great has been the demand for
girls to do simple sewing in homes,
that the Sewing Department, which
was so skillfully handled and develop
ed by Mrs Franklin Burt. is to be
given an assistant teacher Mrs. Annie
L. Houghton.
With a constantly increasing number
Of Oriental students, the demand for
courses IN their own languages has led
to the engaging of native Chinese
and native japanese teacher to take
charge of the courses in Oriental Ian
guages.
The new school year will open Sep
tember -, and there is every indica-
ton Of a larger enrolment than that
OF this past year.

HAbEAS CORPUS
FOR ATCHERLEY
The Writ Was Signed by Judge
Woodruff Yesterday
Morning.

Mary Atcherley succeeded yesterday
morning in breaking into the United
States District Court and getting
writ of habeas corpus for her insane
husband, so it is probable that she will
succeed in keeping the attorneys for
the Territory, and the many witnesses
she and her. husband insist upon call
ing busy for some time yet. There is
no indication at present that she has
reached the end of her resources.
The writ was signed by Judge Wood
ruff before nine clock. The Attor.
ney Generals department anticipated
this move ON the part of the Ateher-
leys but did not think it would be
made SO early in the day, so there was
no one present when the petition was
presented to oppose its being granted.
There is little reason to believe,
however, that the Federal court will
interfere permanently with the terri
torial courts, as this matter ryas passed
upon over year ago in the John
Marks case. George A. DAYS succeed
ed in getting a writ of habeas corpus
for Marks, but when the matter came
up for hearing, Judge Dole refused to
release the prisoner, holding that the
Federal courts could not rie,htfuIly in
terfere with the territorial courts. The
case was carried up to the Court of
appeals of the Ninth Circuit. out the
transcript was never filed and the case
was dismissed on motion of an attor-
ney appearing for the Territory.
The same question was passed upon
by the Supreme Court of the United
States in the Morita Keizo case That
case came before the United States
Supreme Court by the habeas corpus
route, but the court refused to con-
slider it on its merits at all for that
very reason, holding that the case
should properly have come up on writ
of error. So precedent, at least, is
against the Atcherleys in this attempt
on their part to secure the release of
the doctor from the insane asylum.
The writ is directed to DR.. Peterson
and is made returnable at nine o clock
tomorrow morning.

PLENTY PIukIA
OVER BIC LUAU
Ferns Enemies Are Said
to Be Whetting
Knives.

Trouble is brewing between the
MAYORS Office and the Governors Of
fee over that luau. The Mayor, SO it
is stated by certain government of
flciaIs, is insulted at the attitude of
the Governor S Office and the Enter
tainment Committee toward his big
feast, and as evidence of his injured
feelings. the coveted invitations to the
luau have not been dispensed with any
great degree of liberality about the
Executive building. The heads of de-
partments, of course, have been invited,
but many of the Hawaiian and part
Hawaiian employees of the territorial
government have been left out in the
cold. It is not at al sure that this
has been done through instructions
from His Honor, however, in fact, it
is limited that there is more or less
politics mixed up IN the business-and
that it is not Mayor Fern who is play
ing politics, either. The Mayor is not
lSSu4AS iuC t4GhSLS A1IucSt1 III tIio 1ucA
but has delegated that labor of love to
others.
The trouble between the municipal
and territorial governments and their
respective heads and subheads is said
to have arisen on account of the refusal
of the Entertainments Committee to
make an appropriation to help pay the
expenses Of the luau. The committee
was expected to come to the aid of the
Mayor and the city government fnan-
cially in this matter, but, possibly on
account of Misunderstanding, backed
out at the last minute.
The luau, although generally labeled
"the Mayor IS luau,' is really supposed
to be given by the City and County of
Honolulu in honor Of the visiting Con-
gressmen. But the indications are, that
before the bills are al paid, it will real
ly be very largely the Mayors luau,
for the city fathers failed to come
through for more than 5000, and it is
evident that 5000 will not last long
when it comes to giving luau for
several hundred guests. Mayor Fern is
liable to have to dig very far down
into his own pocket before he gets
through.
His Honor has already discovered
that it is no bed of roses he prepared
for himself when he planned the big
social function, for he and all his Office
force, not to mention the Supervisors
and the other municipal officers, have
heen besieged with requests for invi-
tations. The telephone rings constant
"; the Mayor has hunted look; those
who got invitations took them as their
right and those who didn It, look sour
and plan how many votes they can win
away from the Mayor next election.
The troubles of policeman are moth
ing to those which His Honor, Mayor
Fern, is now carrying on his shoulders,
and all because he tried to be nice to
the Congressional party. Meanwhile,
some who are supposed to be his friends
are palpably making political capital
out of the affair and are whetting their
knives for sly dig at Joseph Fern
when the time comes

HALLEY'S COMET
The Big Show in the Heavens is Prom

The biggest free show that this gen.

the sky, where everybody may see it
and there will be no need of crowding.
Prof. Garrett P. Serviss, noted as a
writer on popular astronomy, tells all
about it in the current number Of
Hampton's Magazine. 1t will be a
one-star show-the return of Halley's
comet The last time it was seen by
the people on earth was in 1885, and
1t is now in the last stages of jour
ney of 100000 miles which had to
be made to play this return date.

cant. But in any event it will fix the
attention of mankind, and for astron-
omers will be the most interesting
phenomenon seen in the sky for many
decades.
Prof. Serviss, in this article, gives
data which can probably be found
nowhere else in lay publications. The
returns Of Halley's comet, he says,
have recently been traced back to the
year 240 B. c., but it has probably
been revolving in its elliptical orbit
very much longer than that.
Halley's discovery, after its appear
ance in 1852, that it was regular
visitor to the neighborhood of the sun
has always ranked as one of the cap
ital triumphs of astronomy. His sus
picion that the comet of 1852 was moi
paying its first visit to the sun was
based upon the similarity between its
orbit in space and the orbits of two
other comets, which had appeared ir
1867 and 1881. respectively. (He die

The Joyous "Merry Widow" Waltz.
If one is to believe all the glowing
praise bestowed On THE Merry Wild
ow" by the people who have heard
this notable Viennese operetta, the
long-last dance that once charmed the
classic ancients has come to earth
again on breeze of delicious music.
In The Merry Widow with it's tu-
multi of attractive color and spirit
Composer Lehar is credited with
bringing the soul of elegant light mu-
sic back to it's own, out of the mire of
rag-time and three note jingles which
have swamped opera comique in mu-
steal comedy for the past ten years.
Thanks to Mr.. Henry w. Savage, To-
cal music lovers are soon to have the
great pleasure of judging for them
selves of the merits of Franz Lehars
exquisite work of art. The wonderful
opera will have delightful interpre-
tation by typical Savage company of
'yrlc artists and splendid orchestra
perfectly schooled in the lovely meas
ures provided by the composer who
has suddenly grown into great celeb
rity through this one symmetrical OPP
eretta. Number after number in the
score presents the liveliest enchant-
ment to the imagination and leaves
memory a bouquet of original and Sc
ductive melodies to enjoy indefinitely.
Even a slight acquaintance with the
music shows it to be as spirited as a
Mozart score 1t rings with valse and
sarabande, with the czardas and bi.
zarre petites popinettes and cancan.
1t absolutely glows with lovely songs
and brilliant dance music and Is SO

Won Suppe seem bowling before a
youthful competitor likely to dispute
laurels for the very kind of music
each one of these idols has held un
challenged until The Merry Widow

epoch
The production is known to be mos,
lavish and beautiful. The Marsoviar
embassy shown in the first act is pro
nounced unique and stunning in deco
ration and the gowns of the woman
dazzling. The garden of Sonia's cos
tune ball in the second act is lovely
and the dresses bewildering in pic
turesque license and theatricalism
When the curtain rolls up on that
third act of fiery action-a veritable
scene of Maxims with its long tables
and picturesque grizettes and cory
phees, it's cigarettes and can-can, its

kindness, gentleness, love and pa
tience take form in good fairies What
are good thoughts but beautiful fair
les?
Miss Perkins then turned her atten.
ton to the child and said, "Primative
man is to the entire human family
what the child is to the man. He saw
and thought as child in mental de-
velopment. He externalized his
thoughts and gave them form in order
to understand them So the child
comes to self knowledge through ex-
ternalization of his characteristics.
This is kindergarten principle-in
fact it is the aim of all education-to
teach the man to know himself and so
control himself through this knowl-
edge. A child understands his own
family relationship better when he
has become familiar with the family
life of birds, snakes fish and animals.
Through the study of the birds the
kindergartener gives to her children
the thoughts of parental care, mother
love, filial obedience, true idea of low
ing home, the part of each to make
home truly harmonious and the great
law of independence" She also told
how the child through story work is
shown his own ugly selfish action in
the form of ugly wicked deformed
creatures. So she explained that
child's love for stories is his natural
Inheritance: stories are on the child's
plane of thought, they speak the Ian
guage he understands; and he re-
spends. Miss Perkins next considered
what real story is, dealing separate
ly with the fairy story, nonsense tales
nature stories, historical stories and
Bible stories. She then referred to
the great gulf between adulthood and
childhood and closed by saving. my
plea to the mothers is: don't let your
child get away from you; keep his
love, his sympathy, his confidence
never force; let love lead the way;
| don't force; don't spank; Just love
Storyland is a good fairy which will
help you"
Following the excellent talk the
mothers who were interected in the
vital problems dealing with the begin
ming of child life and kinared sub
jects were invited to gather upon the
platform for an informal discussion
and between $50 and 200 mothers re

Miss Perkins has succeeded remark
ably in holding the interest of the
children and mothers during the chau
tauqua. She has given her story worl
every morning and afternoon during
the assembly and has always beer
greeted by at least rs or 100 children
and about twice as many adults. /
has been difficult thing heretofore
to secure a feature on the chautauqu'
course which would appeal to children
day after day but Miss Perkins ha
answered this demand and has pleas
ed not only the children but tn,
adults.

through the stars and its sword-shap-
ed tail brandished over the earth, as
if monitory of unknown and unavoid-
able evil.
Astronomers have calculated that
Halley's comet must have crossed in
side the orbital distance of Jupiter
from the sun about the first of last
January. In the middle of January its
distance from the earth was estimated
at 440,000,000 miles. During the late
fall it is expected to become visible
to the naked eye, after having for
months before been photographed
and studied with telescopes. 1t will
slowly brighten during next winter,
being visible from nearly all parts of
the earth. Gradually approaching the
sun, it will make it's perihelion pas
sage, at distance of about 66,000,000
miles from the solar globe on the 18th
of next April. Its greatest brightness
is expected to occur after the peri
helion passage when twill draw near
er the earth, and be visible in both
the evening and the morning sky. But
at that time it will be south of the
celestial equator and consequently bet
ter seen from the southern hemi-
sphere. About May is the comet will
be only 100000 or 100000 miles
from the earth although for more
than a month 1t will have been re
treating from the sun.
Just what its appearance will be no
one can predict 1t is the Proteus of
space. 1t may blaze with amazing
splendor as it did when trembling
Europe saw 1t in an aviator of the con
quering sword of the Prophet C Nee
ca, or it may be relatively insignifi
