MESSENGER BOY
CAUSES P|L|KIA
Tells Many People There Is
Money for Them at Mes
senger Office.

One small messenger boy caused more
happy moments, more fiustPyed hearts
and more heavy disappointments this
last week than anybody of his size, or
even any larger person, has ever done
before in the same time in Honolulu
The story has many sides, fustered
moment, a pleasant surprise and dis
appointment for each side.
The boy, son of Hawaiian named
McCandless, was working for the Ter
ritorial Messenger Service not so long
in the past as to become entirely dis
connected with that institution.
One day last week one of the most
prominent society ladies' in town en-.
tered her room and found the boy there
looking duly awed and confused. She
demanded his business, and he retail.
ated by asking her name. The only
reason that he did not fall over when
she mentioned it was probably because
he did not appreciate its awful sig
nificance.
Instead of falling over he said
''There is $4S waiting for you at the
Territorial messenger Office
Some time later another society lady,
equally distinguished, found the same
boy in her apartments, and the same
question and answer were gone through.
The boy departed and the lady flew
to the telephone. The line was busy.
This was in Punahou. The boy gradu-
ally worked EVA until he hit the middle
of Makiki. No enumerator followed
him. The proportion of high society
who entertained an angel unawares is
| not yet known.
The angelic features of the innocent,
gawking lad became dim as time pro-
crossed, and the ladies were unable to
get the messenger service on the tele-
phone.
1t would not be wise to mention
names, but if Honolulu issued blue
book it might be taken as directory
of the people visited by the ex-member
| of the uuick-careful- courteous organiza-
!, ton
! And in the meanwhile-as the comic
papers say-sitting in solitary splendor
in the messenger office was NJ. F. Peter,

WORK ON GREAT HIGHWAY
committee from the California club
asked the commission what progress
had been made in installing drinking
fountains along the great highway
The committee was informed that
three had already been put in place and
another would soon be erected.
One of the committee said that 1T was
a remarkable fact that the beach chalet
was not generally known as the prop
erty of the park and suggested that
some name be added to advise the gen.
eral public that the place was not
private resort. The commissioners de-
cided to put up sign TO convey the
correct information.
REPORT ON PARK WORK
Superintendent McLaren reported
what work has been done in the sew
eraI parks by the 304 men in the employ
of the commission. He recommended
that a branch road be established at
Forty first street. He also suggested
the building of a chalet at the great
highway and Sloat boulevard. He also
suggested that a convenience station be
established at the same point.
1t was decided to communicate with
the board of supervisors on the latter
suggestion and ask for the necessary
funds
The Haight and Ashbury improve
ment clubs offered to donate a $500
sanitary fountain on condition that it
be erected at the Haight street en-
trance to the park. The matter was
referred to Commissioner Cummings, to
report on the artistic appearance Of
the proposed gift.
A proposition to build a bear pit in
Mission park at an expense of $3.50 was
laid over until after the vote on the
charter amendments
LINCOLN MONUMENT PROPOSED
The Sunset women's Improvement
club asked for the privilege of holding
the dedication of Lincoln park April
intended to raise $4,000 for monu-
ment to Lincoln. A similar request
had been made by Lincoln post of the
Grand Army, so the secretary was
directed to notify both bodies and ask
them to cooperate.
Commissioner Gutskow asked as a
question of law, 'if the Panama canal
exposition obtains the park west of
Twentieth avenue for exposition pur-
poses will the commissioners lose con-
troll Of that portion of the park?
The president replied that it un-
doubtedly would for the time the fair
was on the grounds.

Fifteen Parishes Voted Against
Exposition, While California
Was United

Through newspaper reports from the
parishes in Louisiana returned majori-
ties against the s6,500,O00 bond issue
for the New Orleans exposition. The
whole state returned a majority of only
10000 in favor Of the bonds, and had 1T
not been for the vote in New Orleans
they would have failed to carry. In CAL

the entire state is with San francisco
in its fight
"Nowait is the duty of San Francisco
to Impress one other fact upon the ma

tary of the Panama-Pacific exposi-
t1on company, yesterday: This is that
San Francisco will do its part. The
voters can do this Tuesday by piling up
tremendous vote for charter amend
ment No. /. This will add the last
contribution to the exposition fund and
make 1T possible to go before congress
with $17.500.000 In hand. There is an
overwhelming sentiment in San Fran
cisco In favor of the exposition, but
the country can be made to realize this
only by vote of convincing proper
tions.
Let us remember that this amend
ment requires two-thirds vote, and
we should give it more.

Yes after charter amendment No. L.
That amendment, If properly indorsed,
will win us the exposition. No man
should say to himself that the amend

take that attitude it may just squeeze
through, and New Orleans would have
a telling argument against us when
we go before congress next month.

leges that the corporation illegally

ment.
