church.
At st. Andrews.
A Christmas tree reigned at the Da.
vies Memorial Hall last night, as wei
as at the other places, and the chill
dren of st. Andrews parish received
and presented gifts before it's verdant
altar. In front of the tree stood a
representation of the manger in which
Christ was laid, and with the excep-
ton of some little straw at the bot
tom, this was, at the close of the even
ing, full of presents for the poor chill
.dren of Kakaako.
There was no program, refreshments
were served to all, and the younger
children received presents from the
tree. The gifts that were brought in
will go to help Mr.. Rider, "High Sher-
III OF kakaako,' give the children of
the kakaako Mission jolly Christ

Tuesdays Entertainments.
Several of the classes of the local
missions and churches rendered their
programs on Tuesday The Mckenzie
Mission, which is carrying on its work
among the Chinese in lower Nuuanu
under the direction of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mckenzie, held its exercises on that
night, and the event marked the close
of wonderfully successful year, as
the number of the members of the va
rious classes testified. At last year. g
Christmas exercises it was noted that
only one Chinese girl out of the many
that attended had doll, and, in con-
sequence, all were presented with one
at this years exercises. There are
number of happy hearts in the Chinese
tenements now.
The Sunbeam Glass, the famous little
Sunday-school organization of the Cen
trail Union church, also gave its Christ
mas exercises on Tuesday, under the
direction OF Mrs. Royal ID. Mead.
Exercises Tonight
The Korean church and mission will
hold its exercises this evening, COM
mencing at half-past seven, and its
program, as arranged by its pastor,
Rev. G. H. Min, and his assistants, will
prove an unusually unique and inter
esting one to those who are unacquaint-
ed with Korean manners and customs,
all of which will be faithfully repre-
scented, at the same time carrying out
the Christmas spirit.
AT the Chinese church on Fort street,
exercises will also be held, making the
evening one of the celebration of the
stranger races who have entered the
gates, as well of the city as of the re-
ligion that Christ brought. There will
be some exceptionally fine drills of the
boys of the Mckenzie Mission. ---,s

appears that Honolulu is not to escape.
The suggestion of Governor Frear,
who has worked hard in the matter
of securing the Carnegie donation, is
to have the building placed in the Capt.
tol grounds where the national guard
headquarters are at present, the site
of the bungalow that heard many of
the states secrets of the Kalakaua re-
gime. The Governor thinks that the
library would balance the archives
building and improve the look of the
public grounds, being at the same time
close to the center of the city.
The opposition to this is not that the
location is not a good one but from
the fact that the land is inalienable
public property. The opposers are of

TO themselves and to him. The three
wise men were portrayed by Robert Nc
Corriston, George Fuller, and DR.. Geo.
Herbert. McCorriston was the Egyp.
tian and made a perfect priest of Osi-
ris while the Mithracism of the Per-
slams was embodied in George Fuller.
Doctor Herbert portrayed Gaul and
although there is no probability of one
of the three wise men being of the
over-Alps races, it did not mar the
effect and the winged helmet and the
furs of the forest people showed to
splendid effect.
Doctor Hobby acted as Gabriel, and
of the two central figures in the final
group, Joseph was represented by Cliff
ford Livingston and the Mother by
Miss Townsend. The latter was the
most striking figure of the group and
made splendid and beautiful Ma
donna. The Shepherd Boys were Rey-
mold McGrew, Ruth Harrington, Ever
EFT Brown, Willard Ables and Roy
Bush.
A. Murphy prepared the players for
the stage, and the result was tribute
to his artistic and theatrical abilities.
James A. Rath fixed the turbans, as
he is the only man in Honolulu who
is capable of constructing this
strictly oriental headgear.
The Music.
Fine work was done by Vierra as
the leader of the orchestra, and the
program selected was particularly con-
sistent and well rendered. Prof. Henri
Berger orchestrated the songs rendered
on the stage during the progress of
the representation. The orchestra con-
sisted of twenty-five pieces, Samuel
Peck playing the either in the Vienna
Woods Waltz. The program was as
follows:

WAY Is NOW CLEAR
FOR THE BUILDING
Continued From Page One. /,

The Y. M. C. A. now has some $780,
600 ON hand and the $4,000 given by
the late e. Nj. Cooke is also available.
The latter amount can only be used
for building material, however. In or
der to secure the property just Eva
OF the library, on which an option is
now held, it will be necessary to have
$4,000. This uses up all but $4,000
of the money now available for the pur-
chase of land, but it is hoped that at
least $4,000 more may come in from
subscriptions Immediately after the
first of the year.
Whether or not the library building
shall have been vacated by March 1
the Y. NJ. c. A. structure will prob
ably be started by that date. The Eva
end of the building can be gotten I'M
der way before the rest of the land is
cleared and such will probably be the
line of procedure followed.
The building committee will probably
hold meeting early next week and
lay out plan of operation. The per.
sonnet of the committee Is not vet com.

has become organized the question OF

HAWAII LOSES
THE CONVENTION
Now Thought That 1t Is Too Late
to Resume Work for the
Scientific Meeting.

AT the regular weekly meeting of
the promotion committee, held yester-
day afternoon, the question of attract.
ing scientists to Hawaii again came up
Members of the committee last week
took exception to statements accredited
to Professor Gilmore that the commit
tee had done nothing towards attract
ing the attention of scientists to the
Islands. "
Acting.Secretary Cooper called on
Professor Gilmore this week with q
number of scientific publications that
have been issued by the committee and
explained to him its status in such
matters and the steps they have taken
in the line in which Gilmore said it
was deficient. Professor Gilmore ex.
planned that his remark did not refer
to the promotion committee in partieu.
lar but to promotion work in general.
He addressed a letter to the commit.
tee which was read yesterday in which
he outlines the work that could be
done TO attract scientists and further

The 1909 convention opens on the
esih of this month and IL will then
be decided where the next one will be

JAP SCANDAL GROWING
Twenty Members Of Parliament
Arrested So Far.

Toxic, May 21.-Day by day the
scope of what is now known as the
sugar scandal increases and the
arm of the law is being stretched into
places high and low to arrest and ex-
pose those responsible for the most
gigantic series. of irregularities ever
brought to light in Japan. Aroused
by public sentiment the government
authorities are leaving no stone un-
turned and showing no mercy in the
expose. One member of parliament
efter another is placed under arrest.
The Constitutional party, which car
ried everything before it in the last
session Of the diet, has been the chief
sufferer and will find it extremely
difficult to rally under tho blow.
There have been arrested so far
twenty members of parliament and
six directors of the company. A &C.
termined effort has been made for
the last two sessions of the diet to
nationaliZe the sugar company, that
Is to say, to get the government to
take it over from the stockholders. It
appears from confessions alleged to
have been made by arrested directors
that in order to bring this about
sum of 100000 was spent in bribery.
