A BllllON-DOLLAR ERA.

The incorporation in the United

capital stock of $25S,459,90O gives an
idea OF the wonderful commercial ex-
panslon of the country, says the New
York World. Incidental testimony to
the same effect is furnished by the
speedy absorption by investors of the
$lO,OOO,O0O issue of preferred stock put
out by a new dry goods combination.

Bob Samoa, who halls from Apla.

jag on at the time he entered the
theater. Bob took his seat along
side of small Hawaiian lad and
proceeded to enjoy the show In his

was not conducive to the happiness
of the small boy. Instead of applaud
ing in the usual way, Samoa picked
up a bottle of soda water and after
drinking the contents raped the
kid's head with the empty vessel.
The boys cries attracted the at
tcntion of the other spectators, and
an examination of the lad showed
that his head was badly cut and
bruised. Samoa was at once arrest

boy had to be taken to the Queens

ARMY and NAVY At
COMMERCIAL CLUB
Officers Are Entertained
AT Dinner Saturday
Evening

Officers of the Army, Navy and
Marine Corps were entertained at II
dinner by the Commercial Club on
Saturday evening, and the AFFAIR
was quite the most successful of the
social functions for which the Com
mercial Club has gained an enviable
reputation.
There were speeches, music and a
general good time. Mr.. Wakefield,
President of the Club, expressed the
cordial. feeling which the people
generally and the business men in
particular have for the representa-
uves of the nations strength. and
responses were made by Capt. Rees
for the Navy and Col. Schuyler for
the Army. The remarks were brief,
but very pithy. and stirred up much
enthusiasm.
Capt. Rees recounted his first fall
ing in love with Hawaii when he
visited Honolulu thirty-six years
ago, and concluded his very happy
remarks with a poem entitled Ca
hu," that brought round of APP
plause.
Col. Schuyler told the story of his
first trip here during the Spanish
American war when he stirred up
so much excitement as a result of
the men of his command going in
swimming. He thought bath
would be good for them and found
the proposition very cordially re-
ceived. He was told where to send
, But not all had bathing suits, and
there was great Honolulu furore
| next day. Col. Schuyler spoke of
I the ambition of army men to be sta
toned on this island and closed his
speech with very appropriate and
inspiring tribute TO the cordial spir-
it of Hawaii.
Following the speeches came a
violin solo by Mr.. Buckley that
stretched out to four before his au-
dience was through with the artist
Mr.. Clark sang baritone solo that
was encored, and James Dougherty
sang some topical song stunts that
brought down the house. Mr.. Cas-
ceres gave an instrumental number,
Sonny Cunha was the accompanist,
and his glee club furnished lively
music throughout the dinner.
The dining room of the club was
decorated most attractively. and the
menu provided by Steward Hamilton
made everything complete.

The largest torpedo unit ever or
ganized in the United States Navy
has been formed. The unit is known
as the Atlantic torpedo lotilla and
is made up of three divisions. Here
tofore torpedo flotillas have consist
ed of but one division each.
Lieutenant Commander Freeman,
who was here as one of the notilla
commanders of the Pacific fleet, has
been placed in command of the At
lantic fiotilla. This gives Freeman
very important post, as practically
all of the torpedo boats and destroy
ers OF the Atlantic feet are under
his direct command.
In responsibility his command far
exceeds that of any captain Of the
Navy. but It is the policy Of the De-
partment to place young men on
torpedo duty.
The organization OF the Atlantic
torpedo flotilla has attracted consid-
cradle attention among naval men.

naval officers Of the United states

Though no one can prophecy just
