CASE BRISTLES
WITH POINTS

After a week or so of intermittent
controversy, Mr.. Wilmington won the
decision for w. r. Castle in the Wal
kiki forts condemnation suit upon the
meaning of the word otherwise" in
the lease held by Castle. Judge
Clemens made the final ruhne on the
point yesterday afternoon.
District Attorney Breckons won a
ruling yesterday, after nearly an
hours contention, continuing from the
day before, over an objection by Mr.
Wilmington to a question the United
States attorney put to Walter L.
Emory, architect, on cross-examination
relative to the value of the buildings.
Pesides another ground, it was OBJ
jected that the United States had no
right to butt in, it being contended that
the matter was one wholly between
the lessor and lessee.

THE EAGLES CELEBRATION.

This week is an eventful one in the
history of Honolulu. There is Coro-
nation Day, Civic Day and Cleanup
Day, and the Eagles Day, or Eagles
Night, as you like it. Eagles Day
happens to fall on the same day as
Coronation Day, that is, on Thursday
next, June % and in the evening at
the big Bijou Theater there will be the
most versatile lot of vaudeville and
other delightful entertainments ever
pulled off in this City of the Sea in
one evening.
All the friends of the Eagles are IN
vited, and everybody loves an eagle,
the emblem of the national bird and
the symbol of lofty sentiments and
high aspiration.
Only fifty cents is required for adj
mission and the show will be worth
more than double the price.
Fun in a Boxing School," a smart
sketch, is alone worth the cost of get
ting in. In this scene Mike Patton,
sport and promoter, actor and boxer,
will supply IS per cent of the fun.
The soldier boys throughout the
city and suburbs will especially enjoy
the fun and can catch last cars and
trains to their camps or posts,

GIRL GUIDES"
LIKE BOY SCOUTS

PHILADELPHIA, April 30.-The
Scout movement which has assumed
such proportions among the boys of
this country has been taken up by
Philadelphia girls, and one of the
first girl troops in the United States
is in process of organization, with
Miss Anna G. Melcher, a member of
the Wissahickon Presbyterian Church
of which the Rev. Elliot Field is pas
tor, the leader in the movement.
There has been a great deal of agi-
tation among the women of the city
since the Boy Scout movement began
to start something of the same sort
among girls, and when the news be-
came public that a Spokane, Wash,
man had written manual for girl
troops, Miss Melcher Immediately
started organizing her troop.
The name of the organization will
be THE Girl Guides instead of
scouts and although the object of
the two organizations is similar in
many ways, the girls manual will be
different in many respects The out
door sports will not be dropped, as
the thought of the movement is to
instill in the hearts of the girls as
well as of the boys a love for the
outdoor life of the country and the
woods.
Members of the Society of Friends,
of Delaware county, held a meeting
last night in the meeting house at
Landsdowne to consider a proposition
to start a troop of Boy Scouts in that
district. Arthur w. Dunn, of the
Executive Council, of Philadelphia,
presided at the meeting, which was
attended by more than fifty boys and
a large number of their parents.

immense hit was real one, will con-
tinue their same comedy acrobatic
and tumbling act for the remainder
of the week.
At the Savoy the Ragtime Trio will
change their act, putting on new
musical novelties. The boys have
