CITY OF BEAUTIFUL SMOKE
Really Picturesque Effects That May
se Witnessed from PIttsburo's
HlItS.

Robert Haven Schauttier, writing In
the Metropolitan, says: II never come
within range OF the unique spell OF
modern Pittsburg without wishing that
| might personally conduct thither the
cage who 30 mendaciously declared
that there Is nothing new under tho
sun. For Pittsburg Is something new.
From any OF the city's 100 hills
one can enjoy more varieties OF smoke
In an hour than there are kinds of
Clouds ttnt a month. These range all
the way from fairy shavings OF ice
and curls of driven snow, through
geological strata OF pure cream, mis-
chievous, evanescent ringlets OF blush
white, smudges family tinged with
olive. aerial bushes OF delicate rose.
trees OF orange and rusty red, through
100 tones OF gray, from the most
ethereal fawn to sheer brutal dirt,
then deepening to black as rich as
the glossy, tarry coal from which IL
sprang.
"One convenient thing about the
smokescape Is that you can enjoy
some part OF 1t wherever you happen
to be. Looking west along the canon
OF Fourth avenue one morning the
lower parts OF the ONCE buildings
were obliterated by dense, low lying
bank Of soft, dusky smoke. But as the
eye travelled upward this cloud began
to thin, until. when It reached the
cornices, every detail OF them stood
out sharply in the sunlight against Q
sky OF pale sapphire. Such effects are
a. interesting as they are characters
tic Of the place."

GIYE REALITY To THE CHILD
Writer'S Of the Nineteenth Century
Responsible for Valuable Addl-
ton to Literature.

Children were only found yesterday.
Before the nineteenth century tho
child mind and the child heArt were
not supposed to have enoughin in them
to interest the majestic adult. It is
true that you find delightful baby
In Homer; that In Vergil there Is the
prettiest glimpse Of little girl, and
up and down in the classics you may
meet half dozen other pleasant
shadows OF, children. But they are
only shadows. only at the most charm
ing pictures. They give you az much
as IL they were painting or sculpture
for In children's bodies art has al
ways had interest enough-only what
child looks like, the pretty weak
ness, the instinct for play, the native
gesture and movement. Not till the
return to nature" not till the spirit
Of romance moved on the waters at
the end of the eighteenth century, do
you find poets beginning to tell OF the
thought and faith in a child's mind,
the mysteries of the child's heart, the
fancies that are dreams and the fan
cies that are visions. You may think
that they have gone too far, that they
read into childhood the laborious
philosophizing and sometimes the Ia
bored sentimentality OF the adult. But
no one who loves children will deny
that the best Of the children In nine
teenth century books have far richer
reality, a far fuller lie than any that
were born in earlier words. And some
Of the best are in Dickens.

era In Artificial Product Are
Driven to Extremlties.

No one outside the artificial hair
business knows the difficulty that
merchants in hair-goods have expert
enced In getting material Of sufficient
quality-especially In braids--at any.
thing like the prices which most peo-
pie are willing to pay. Many coun-
tries, indeed, place such restrictions
on wig-makers, owing to hygienic rea.
sons, that natural hair is becoming
more and more rare.
In certain pats Of France the ex-
pedient was resorted to of making
wigs from certain fbrinous plants;
especially was this done with those
which have served to furnish mate
rial for rugs and blankets. BY split.

them chemically, 1t was possible to
make artificial hair, but the labor in.

complaints were made that the substi.

trade, signally failed. Now, thanks tc
series OF experiments, 1t has been
found possible to utilize spun crystal
for the purpose, reducing 1t to any
shade which may be desired and to
any degree Of flnenes. Indeed, tho
resemblance to human hair ia said TO
be all but absolute. The new product

Charges of Falsehood, Threats
and Coercion Preferred
Against Normal Head

Direct charges of ialsehood on the
part of Principal Edgar Wood of the
Normal school, of threats, abuse and
coercion of the teachers under him,
and of a conspiracy in the department
of public instruction to drive decent
young women out of the department
in disgrace, were made openly by At
torney Joseph Lightfoot and the
Misses Eta Davis and Maud Dawson
this morning, at the school commits.
sion's hearing Of the Davis and Daw-
son cases.
Countering these, Professor Wood
brought serious accusations of insub-
ordination and incompetence against
the two young women, the former of
whom is still retained this year as
Instructor in the Normal school with
out increase in salary, and the latter
merely dismissed, for the good of
the department. being the only ex-

In the latter case Attorney Light

This method of dismissal meant
ruination to young woman. The
mystery of what might lay behind it
would ruin any young woman, partlcu-
larry one VINO must make her living
by teaching in the public schools.
This is far. worse to a teacher than
disbarment would be to a lawyer"

THAT was an earthquake for sure, -

the convocation of sugar barons,

trembled under a mighty jar coming
from the direction of the harbor. And
there were enough Hilo men there
to contradict tt.e diagnosis of the
tremor, il it was not correct. n .
There was a distinct push followed
by a recoil, the time of the quake be-
ing about one and half seconds.
Inquiry directly afterward. of some
men standing on the sidewalk. failed
to get any confirmation of an
earthquake shock-they only laughed
and asked an Irrelevant question of

A Lewis, "Jr.. manager of the Bank
Of Hawaii, when qHeG toned at neon

would not be strange if shock would

Peck Immediately on the opening of

Mr. Peck spoke extemporarily, an
nouncing his theme as The Origin

OBJ. These were to come to the army
engineers in good condition
TIL next contract, for the super
structure, was awarded to the Break
water Company, which bid so far be-
low local concerns on the job that
expert figurers on this class of work
opened their eyes in wonder. A
;lause in this contract provided that
he contractor should have the use
of the two scows now under discus
sion. Before the Lord Young concern
turned the scows over, about $4,000
was spent in renovating them. and
getting them in what the engineers
considered serviceable condition An
inspector was sent. over from Major
Wooten's office, and he passed the
scows up as TO requirements. They
we're then left at the disposal of the
Breakwater Company.
When the latter concern was ready
to begin putting in rock, complaint
was made about the two scows, which
were represented as being leaky as
lobster pots, and utterly unfit to
carry load. The Lost on a Lonely
Ocean" photograph above referred to
was forwarded in substantiation of
the claim.
Army Stands Pat
What about t?" was the query of
Mr.. Woods query.
Nothing that 1 know Of" was
Major Wooten's reply.
So that's the way the matter
stands. The Breakwater Company in
any event could only use the scows
on a very limited portion OF the work
for they are dump scows, and as soon
as the breakwater, the top of which
is now 8 feet below low water mark,
reaches the surface, derrick scows
will have to be used altogether to
place rock. These last the Break
water Company is now building, the
scows being of the most improved
type. Whether the company will base
claim for, compensation on. it's con-
tnetion that the dump scows are not
fit for use, and that ii has been put
to added expense in securing substi-
tutes, remains to be seen.

COSTING
BIG PLANTERS DEAR
DEMOCRATS !.
Plan TWO ROAD
OVERSEERS

Entire reorganization of the road
department Of Honolulu, under the
plans now discussed by the newly.
elected Democratic board involves the
substitution of two road syerseers,
one for the Fourth and one for the
Fifth districts, directly under the
county engineer, in place of the pres
ent road supervisor, Caldwell, who is
running his department practically
separate from that Of the county en-
gineer's office.
County Engineer Lou Whitehouse
will be retained by the Democratic
board, according to present prospects,
but 1t is likely that he will be asked
to appoint Democrats to the two dis
trict overseer jobs.
The Democrats believe greater eff
ficiency as well as economy will be
obtained If the city and county is di-
vided into two districts with an over
seer for each district, both to report
directly to the county engineer and
each held responsible for results in
his district.
As stated yesterday. the supervisors
have not yet come to final agree
Ihent on the sweeping changes in city
and county office, that they will ef-
feet upon assuming office, but their
plans are fairly well outlined.
