Rome, June 27-The foreign office

with the American authorities to ac-

New York, June 27.-Italy's decis-
ion to apply for Porter Charltons ex-
tradition, announced today. is believed
here to be likely to hasten the de-
cision on the pending question Of his
mental condition.

where the confessed wife murderer is

morrow on a charge of being a fugitive
from Italian justice, to the effect that

sleeplessness with frequent spells
when the youth seemed to lose control
OF himself and to break into sobs and
means.
His condition today was considered
worse than last night when Warden
Sullivan sent in hurry call for physi-
clans to come to the Jail fearing Charl-
ton would become violent
Already Charlton has been examined
by a group of alienists engaged by his
father, Judge Paul Charlton, to deter
mine his mental state, and DR.. w. J..
Arlitz, who saw the prisoner when he
was in his state of collapse, declared
himself confirmed in the opinion he
had previously expressed, that Charl-
ton was suffering from a form OF de-
mentia.
Other alienists had indicated that
they would take their time in examin-
ing Charlton and rendering their opin-
lon, but his collapse and the advices
from Italy regarding the extradition ap-
plication are thought likely to influence
haste in the completion of the exam
ination and a speedier decision.

The popularity of barley water in

Inner Temple, too, is very proud If

obstacles of all. Many a time, Mr.
Rider AYERS. have children been beat
en- by their drunken parents for at
tending the mission or for singing
gospel songs, the words of which
would sometimes spring unbidden to
their lips as they played about the
house.
Whilst talking with Mr. Rider, the
sound Of children's voices, Justly sing
ing a mission rally, was borne into the
room which he and the reporter were
seated. IT was a temperance class,
singing their battle hymn. There
were fifty-four girls and boys of vary
ing ages from tiny mites of six or
seven to boys and girls of eleven or
twelve. They were all members Of

League) and they ioyfully proclaimed
their intention to fight against in

and the teachings of the principal OF

People Of the district
Mr. and Mrs. p. w. Rider have UNI
doubtedly done good work in the dis
trlct. They have labored lond and dill
gently and are still laboring, with but
one end i'm yiew-The alienation OF
the distress which prevails through
out the district and the bringing to
the people The word OF God. The
value Of such a mission is hard TO
realize. Il cannot be measured I'm dol
lars and cents, nor can balance
sheet be rendered with the debts on
the one side and the credits on the
other. The debts can easily be emu
merated but how would the credits
be ascertained? by the number Of
children rescued from irresponsible
parents and trained In the first prln-
ciples Of good citizenship? by the
number OF conversions made? by the
lumber Of children clothed? Even
then the benefits Of such mission
would be liable TO be Underestimate

The work is OF too far-reachlng
a character TO be summed up In a
phrase or two II Is ever increasing
In strength, but while the work is
going on the personnel Of the mission
has remained unchanged, neither di'

mission; everything is clean and tidy,
but it is all on an unpretentious
scale.
On the mauka side of the mission
facing South street and extending
through to Mission lane is vacant
lot of land which has just
been acquired for the purposes
of the mission and in one
corner of this lot dispensary
is to be erected to take the place of
the existing dispensary in the main
building, which is far too small for
the amount of work which is done
therein, under the direction of a nurse,
Miss Poppleton. The remainder of
the lot will be AIDED to the existing
playground to afford further space for
the boys and girls to congregate in, in
preference to the streets. Round about
outside of the mission everything is
squalid; dirty lanes are everywhere,
but there are few open spaces and
the youngsters are forced to spend
most of their time playing in the dirt
and Crime which everywhere abounds.
IT. order to provide a suitable meeting
ground for the children this extra lot
of land has been procured, and this
now gives the mission a frontage of
$50 feet on South street and 1870 feet
on Queen street.
Later on it is expected that the
ground may be put to other use. but
just as present as soon as the build
ings now on 1t are removed, the
ground will be set apart as a play
ground. 1t is easier TO get the chill
dren to attend classes if there are
facilities for play, especially in a dis
trict such as Kakaako, where play
areas are so conspicuous by their
absence.
The missions does really wonderful
work with the children, who are of
all nationalities. 1t is a matter for
wonder that within the boundaries OF
Kakaako there are over thirty nation
alities represented. Among those
who have been in the mission al
varying times are American, Hawai-
ion, English, German, Portuguese
African, Cape Verde islanders, Chin.

the ravages Of devastating disease
should an outbreak occur. Amid these
banefu surroundings the Kakaako
Mission stands, one Of the few bright
spots la the entire district Here for
nine years past Mr. p. w. Ryder,
assisted by his wife, has labored in
his endeavor to bring ray of sunlight

reason Of the cheap rents which pre-
vail and the proximity of the district

caslonally offering, the people Of this

and without a helping hand from any
one, excepting the charitable works
which are carried on by the religious
bodies. Foremost among these in

PEOPLE Of ten different nationalities
to hold meetings In their mother ton

The work OF the mission goes on

Il is no unusual occurrence for Mr.
Rider to be called up to prevent
husband from beating his wife to
death or 10 rescue children from the
drunken frenzy of their parents. In
order to be able to enforce order Mr.
Rider in a special officer of the police
force and also of the juvenile court
and he is often instrumental in quell-
ing fights in the district, fights which
are a continual source of trouble to
him, and his helpers.
AROUND THE MISSION.
The Kakaako Mission is bright
spot in the midst of district of
gloom. 1t is passing strange, indeed,
that a city with so much of beauty,
so many evidences of progress and so
much of that cleanliness which is
next to Godliness" should have at
its door-steps scenes that are not
pleasing to the eye, are inimical to
health and jar the modern spirit of
civic pride as to pleasing surround
ings,
Although some effort has been put
forward of late years in that direction
in Kakaako, insufficient attention has
been given by both government and
property owners to the important
work of draining streets and land.
The Bishop Estate is just now en-
gagged in some endeavors along these
lines near Atkinson park, and in the
blocks between South, Second and
Coral streets; and it is understood
that attention will be given later to the
marshes in which the notorious All
I.eong blocks are situated, mauka of
the Honolulu Iron Works.
Some OF the Portuguese living in
Keawe and the neighborhood cross
streets have raised the level of their
lands and placed their home sites in
fairly good sanitary condition. Ludof
lane, between Keawe and Coral
streets, however, is little better than
marsh, although quite thickly popu-
lated and claiming as it's principal
citizen a foreman of the Honolulu
road department.
Along the makai line of Queen
street Kewalo to the town side of Ka-
kaako, conditions are both unsightly
and insanitary. Most of the houses
are below the street line and few
of them conform to the simple re-
gulations of the Board of Health in
regard to air space underneath, and
in other particulars. On the mauka
side of the brewery, across the street,
somewhat better conditions prevail,
! but Immediately opposite the Ka-
waiahao cemetery is about as fit
! home for disease germs as could we'll
/ be imagined. And all of these places
are inhabited by the poor-people who
are the least able to defend them
selves against the encroachments of
consumption, etc.
Last but not Least, Is the Magoon
Block. Who has not heard of the
Magoon Block? Established by a
good old man and in all probability
for a good purpose, it has police
record that is hard to beat. cat the
| Magoon Block" is frequently used to
express the location of a midnight

told Of one dinner which was given
10 the children who were each charg-
ed a nickel but when each child
brought the nickel along, he or she
was told to go bring another child,
that her nickel would provide a meal
for someone else, the mission sup
plying hers or his. The reason for
making the charge, even though it
was small, explained Mr.. Rider, was
in order to make the children learn
to depend on themselves and save
their pennies, instead Of spending
them in peanuts, or other favorite
deliCacies.
It Is nine years since Mr.. Rider
took over mission work in Kakaalio
aud of this time the mission has been
for five years in its present building.
When first started a dingy room in
the Magoon block just across the way
from the present site was all they
had and afterwards the adjoining
room was taken, but even with two
rooms knocked into one the mission
was still in very dirty surroundings
and was not a place to which the
people could be expected to come
freely. Mr.. Rider had a particu-
larly hard time during the first year
of mission work He visited all the
people in the district time and time,
again, facing rebuff after rebuff, but
gradually breaking down the barriers
when existed-barriers which threat
ened times out of number to prove
unsurmountable and bring destruction
on the mission. In those early days
the work was almost heartbreaking,
the parents OF the children the mis-
