Bishop BIeSSeS
Kaimuki Convent

After Mr.. Hughes had concluded,
Bishop Libert, who was in full robes,
stated that it was fitting that the in,
stitution should be opened by invoca-
ton of the blessing of God. Accord
ingly he would offer the appointed
prayer of the church, which he forth
with in conjunction with the choral
responses impressively rendered. Then
receiving from the head acolyte the
silvern vessel, he solemnly dedicated
the convent with sprinkling OF holy
water.
On the invitation of Father Valentfn
the people assembled then flocked over
the handsome edifice from basement
to cupola. AS yet the building is

With a simple but solemn ceremony
the new Convent of the Sacred Hearts
at Kaimuki was Formally opened by
the Right Reverend Bishop Libert yes
terday afternoon. An assembly filling
the triple class rooms, extending from
front to rear of the eastern wing, and
overfowing to crowd the main corrt-
dor, attended the exercises.
After a prelude of very fine music

the Bishop entered, attended by clergy
and acolytes, the processionists taking
their stations at the head of the hall.

of the congressman here and find
them nearly all in favor of one thing,
the bringing in of more American
citizens here. That is what I favor
all the time and am strongly against

Dor till 1t has been proven that the
American citizen cannot take the
place. Certainly we have room for
Americans in the sugar industry. The
local situation was well shown in the
last campaign in the Eva district.
In 1908 there were ninety less votes
in that district than there were two
years before. Why was this? It was
because the Acericans and Hawaii
ans who had been working in the
sugar mills had been discharged to
make room for Asiatic labor. This
was the only reason.
"They say, and do not believe
that there is word of truth in it,
that an American cannot grow cane in
Hawaii. Let us have this proven.
Take some one section Of the Gov
ernment lands, Kapaa or Anahola, for
instance, and put American citizens
there, let them see whether they can
cultivate the land or not. Then at
least we shall know whether there is
any truth in this.

The kiosk which is to be placed on
the Bishop lot near the corner OF
Hotel and Bishop streets is now be-
ing erected under the supervision Of
w. B. Stockman, the director Of the
local branch of the United States
Weather Bureau. 1t is expected that
the building will be completed and
partially equipped during the present
week, though all the instruments
have not yet reached this city.
The kiosk will not be Of great use
for meteorological purposes, on ac-
count of the fact that the instruments
there will be affected by the heat
radiated from the sidewalks and
buildings of the city, but on this very
account will be Of more value to the
ordinary citizen, who is interested in
the heat as he notices it when walk
ing along the street. The tempera-
lures as given by the weather bureau
at present come from the instruments
on the Young hotel building and cor
respond practically to the conditions
which exist out of town in the coun-
try districts. The local business man
is, as a rule, more interested in the
heat which affects him directly when
walking about town at his work. The
conditions of this kind will be record
ed in the kiosk.
The kiosk will be building four
feet square and seven feet high, built
of iron with large plate glass win

MODESTO, Nov. s.--votes for women
will become reality in Modesto jan
uary S, 1910. At a meeting held yes
terday the directors called an election
to be held on that date to decide
whether or not the Improvements in
the Modesto irrigation district shall be
exempt from taxation. According to
an amendment to the Wright irrigation
law passed by the last legislature this
question must be decided by the tax
payers of the irrigation district.
AS a large proportion of the prop
erty owners are women they Will have
the same privilege in voting as do the
men. As far as known this will be the
first instance in California where
women have voted at such an election.
The law has been thoroughly gone
over by attorneys for the Modesto dis
trict, and they have advised the di-
rectors that women. as well as oriental
property owners, will be entitled to
vote.
According to the provisions of the
original Wright law, under which the
Modesto irrigation district was formed,
all Improvements in the district were
subject to the irrigation tax. This in
