E,t,e,. Tuesday Afternoon.
1t was exceedingly hot at, the Ghau
tauqua grounds on Tuesday afternoon
The, sun beating down on the roof OF
the tabernacle, made this building ex
tremely warm. Regardless of the
heat and other discomforts, the audi
forum was well filed to hear the
Honolulu students. The company is
composed of six young men from the
Hawaiian Islands, and has been organ
lied for the past six years. Before
coming to this country they furnished
entertainment in their native land.
They have been in the United States
for the past two years furnishing mu'
sic on the Chautauqua platform. The
majority of the songs and music fur.
nished is Hawaiian folk songs, which
give the entertainment distinction
from all other musical organizations
in a most capable manner with instru,
mental solos on the stringed instru-
ments, and vocal solos and quartettes.
The boys have splendid voices.
Miss English sang number of vo,
cal solos as a prelude to the Honolulu
students entertainment. She has a
beautiful, sweet voice, and she was at
once much admired by the audience.
..a Women's Meeting.
An extra session was held after the
regular afternoon program, and no
one but women were admitted. The
subject on which the speaker Mrs.
English, talked, was, What Women
Should Know" The writer is not au.
thority on what was said, but large
number of women were present to
hear the speaker.
Tho Debate.
Women shall have the ballot"
Such was the result of the vote taken
at the Chautauqua last evening after
the debate on Woman Suffrage, Rev.
Gertrude Won Petzold in the affirma,
tive; Hon. Shirley w. Gillilland in the
negative. Many of the people remain
ed neutral, thereby signifying their in
tention of going with the crowd; or
that they were not able to decide that
question for themselves.
Rev. Mrs. Won Petzold had the open
ing and was permitted to speak forty,
five minutes. Mrs. Won Penzold ap-
pears in a looserfitting empire gown,
black in color and decorated with lace
around the shoulders, The white lace
takes, away the, idea of mourning.
After she has told the people how she
had obtained the best education pos
sible in Germany. and then in, the best
universities of England, making her
capable of appearing on such a great
question, she begins the debate by
telling Of the outbreaks and the con,
troll England has, over her people.
Mrs, Won, PetEold did say, Women
are never satisfied with what they
have, but are always reaching for
more" This is one reason why they
want the ballot. a.. ra s.,
Service in the community is the
basis of the ballot, and women should
certainly have it. Thousands of
women are teaching in the schools;
thousands of, women are in the pro-
fession; thousands of women are in
the factories; and thousands of wom-
en- are in the Office, therefore from the
standpoint of service performed they
should have a vote.

arms around the loving boy, and
weeps over this boy when he falls by
the wayside when enticed by the sa-
looms" From, the, liquor standpoint
she should have, the, ballot, In order
that che might protect that boy, and
assist in driving, out the, saloon.
