AUDIENCE WAS LARGE

The Baptist church was we'll
filed last Thursday evening.
notwithstanding the inclement
weather, to listen to the excel
lent musical and dramatic treat
that had been so carefully ar
ranged, under the auspices II
the public library fund.
The rostrum was converted in
10 . coy parlor setting. with
pretty curtains. rugs etc. aud lent
Q most pleasing effect to the
scene.
The first number was a fine
selection by the Oliver sisters on
the violins and mandolin, accom-
panied by their mother Mrs. NJ.
L. Oliver, on the organ. This
Dumber was so clevely rendered
that all encore was demanded
by the large audience.
Miss Iona Wood followed
with very pretty vocal selec-
tion entitled, Message of the
Rose" She was at her best and
the sweet notes pleased her
hearers immensely. She too,
responded to an encore.
Herbert Wright sang Good
Night Dear" in his usual clever
manner and received liberal APP
plause.
That talented lady Miss Mae
Peregrine. gave fine original
reading on Lincoln the Second,
dealing with history in 1860.
Her second number was a hu-
morous recitation well given.
Miss Peregrine never fails to
please.
The Tiger Tale" by the
ladies' quartette was we'll receiv-
ed and called for an encore. The
ladies were Mesdames Seamons, :
Schurtz, Minns and Tageart.
Miss May Pierce sang in her
sweet way, May Morning and
was compelled to render second
solo, to please the audience.
Two readings by Mrs. Jodie
Ragsdale, were among the hits
of the evening. She has a droll
way and . graceful stage car
riage, that makes her perfectly
at ease before her audience. Her
numbers were enjoyed to the
fullest extent.
The Oliver Sisters rendered
Faust" in manner that show
ed skill on the several instru-
ments. Although the applause
was vociferous, they refused to
repOnd this time.
The next number, the dramatic
part of the evenings entertain
nent, proved the 'hit" of the
'how. THE Woman's Mission
Try Meeting" by Mesdame Dud-
ey, Fairchilds, Rousseau, Park
n, Riddle, Robinson, Carlson,
)'Reilly and DIR. Hulett. 1t was
ediculously funny from begin
ling to end, and the business
hat those ladies transacted, and
he manner in which it was trans
Icted, brought down the house.
,ome very good local jokes were
prung, and the audience was
oIvulsed with laughter through

after the troops arrived in that post.
A Desolate Greeting.
When the soldiers left the street
cars and arrived at the post vast
area OF waste land covered with
great rocks together with wild, tro-
pical vegetation greeted their sight.
Two sets of barracks. headquarters
and the officers quarters were the
only buildings on the reservation. The
troops then doubled up In the bar
racks and then the work started. From
the veranda of the soldiers quarter;
one could not see across the parade
ground to the officers homes, So
thick was the growth Of underbrush
General fatigue became the daily
routine OF the soldiers and at ali
times during the day one soldier plrr
brush hook and axe could be seeil
working on the parade ground clear
ing q place to do his daily drill. The
soldiers. by applying themselves ar
.luously to their gruesome task, soon
had the parade ground In respectful
condition. The quarters were as yc;

New Quarters Built.
Finding that the two sets of bar
racks were not sufficiently large to
quarter four companies Of soldiers

tract for the erection Of two more
buildings and mess hall when on June
20. 1909, the buildings stood complet-

p and G companies promptly NOV

and assumed the responsibility OF
identifying the grounds surrounding
their new home. This was done with
utmost precaution. Grass was
brought down from the mountains

plants and everything was done that
possibly could be done to make the
quarters and their surroundings
pleasing to the eye. In fact the work

SCHOOL SITE
i. At WATERFOWL

City and County Engineer Gcre and
several members of the Ways and
Means Committee of the County gov
eminent, have been looking mao a
suitable site for a new and better
adapted school building for the grow
ing district near WATERFOWL.
As II result Of their Investigations u
site has been selected which belongs
to the Bishop Estate but which the
committee hopes to Ice able to secure
for u term of years.
II is recommended that the city and
county make use OF lot about one
hundred and fifty feet west Of the
present school building with the uud-
outstanding that the land will revert
to the Bishop Estate whenever 1t Is
decided to abandon the proposed
school building.

turning the post over to Major w. p.

ed from the Fifteenth Infantry to the
Twentieth. coming to Honolulu from
Fort Douglas, Utah. II Is interesting
to the major and his friends to be
iourneying back to the post from
which he took his departure only a
few short months ago.
Soldiers see Much Of Oahu.
The men of the Twentieth since
their stay In Honolulu have seen much
of the Island Of Oahu as well as a
trip. to the Island of Hawaii. Sight
seeing the way the soldiers see II is
very different from the way most peo-
pie have of taking In the sights. Hik-
ing and carrying your home with you
Is not the most beautiful way of Wis
lting strange lands but at the same
time the little things that go to make
a trip interesting are enlarged and
never forgotten. Thus the soldiers
Of the Twentieth Travelled around the
Island Of Oahu many times. over the
toughest Of roads, under the hottest
Of suns. even to the most remote
'places and looking back over the
past, those we're the happy times
long to be remembered.
Baseball and Sports.
The soldiers Of Fort Shafter have
participated In a great many of tho
sports that have gone to make In

the Island could beat.
The field days that have been held
ont at the post go to show just how
much real sporting blood Fort Shat

to the heart OF an athlete have been
tried out and the men have proved
themselves equal to the game.
Regiment Does Not Unite. Alb.
1t was stated In the columns Of the
Advertiser a few days ago that the
Twentieth Infantry would soon be
united and that the other two bat
talions of the Twentieth were aboard
the Sheridan. This statement can
not be substituted, however. The
Twentieth will unite sometime In
January 1912. Owing to the fact that
troops now in the Philippines are re-
quircd to do two and half year
tour, the time of the Twentieth will
not expire until December of this
year. when the two battalions will
leave for the states. The Second Bat
talon will do garrison duty at Fort

Death of an Aged Citizen

Michael Sullivan an aged farmer
6 miles southwest of this city was
found dead near his home Sunday
morning about II o'clock.
1t seems that Mr.. Sullivan came
to Monroe on Saturday to transact
some business with the law firm of
Meriwether & Meriwether. After
finishing his business nere he start
ed home in the storm which was
prevailing at that time. Friends
seeing that he was quite feeble
from age and sickness tried to pre-
vail on him to spend the night in
town, but to no purpose and the
last seen of him alive was when he
drove out of town in his buggy
late in the afternoon, Saturday
Mr.. Sullivan's wife died a few
years ago and since then his SON
in-law and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs.
j. S. Buckman have run his farm
and he had continued to make his
home with them. On this occasion
when Mr.. Sullivan failed to return
the family supposed he had put up
with friends in town not dreaming
he would attempt to face the severe
storm which came on very sudden
ly and was raging with increased
violence. On Sunday a member of
the family was on his way to a
neiehbors house tofmake enquiries
by telephone in regard to the old
gentleman, when he came upon the
body at gate about half mile
from home.
1t is supposed that the old gen.
man got out of his buggy to open
the gate and that the strong wind
drove the gate against-him with
such foIoa that it Knocked hird
down and in his eeble condition h
was not able to rise and he chile d
to death where he fell. The horse
wandered about with the buggy all
night without injuring anything.
Mr.. Sullivan was born in Ireland
over 80 years ago and came to
America when a young man and
engaged in farming at which he
was fairly successful. He leaves
6 children. 3 boys and 3 girls, all
grown.
He was an honorable and upright
citizen, a devout Catholic and his
kindly disposition will be long re-
membered by his numerous friends.
The remains We're laid to rest in
st. Stephens cemetery at Indian
Creek on Tuesday.
