HENRY WARD BEEcHER.

BY .. =. Lewis, Sioux CITY. Ia.
HENRY WARD 1EEcHER.
Henry, Ward Beecher had attained
reputation in this country-at least In
New York--as a great preacher pre-
vious to 1863. but 1t was his mission
to Great Britain in that year which
gave him national and international
fame
It was said by those who opposed
Mr. Lincolns administration that
Beecher was sent and paid by the
government to create sentiment for
the north. Had that been true the
result would have amply justified the
measure. But 1t was not true. Mr..
Beecher went of his own motion and.
at least 80 far as, the government
knows at his own private expense. But
he had 1t in his heart to attempt great
things for his country.
Great Britain had freed her own
slaves years before. But Wilberforco
was dead and a new king arose who
knew not Joseph"-King Cotton. Tho
looms OF Lancashire with tens o.
thousands of operatives were abso-
lutely dependent upon the cotton OF
the southern states. AS month after
month passed and the severity Of mo
cotton" bore harder and harder, the
pressure of Manchester became insup-
portable, and Mr.. Gladstone-just man
though he was-could no longer see his
own people starving without making
the effort they desired. So the British
cabinet was preparing to recognize the
confeieracy and get slave grown cot
that mo slave could breathe the air
of Britain without becoming a free
man.
Mr.. Beechcr went at this critical
juncture to marshal the conscience of
Great Britain upon the question of
81 70 sat ENy,cr la nd inst or
self. to contrast the spirit of the Ala
bama and 1863 with that of 80 years
before; to appeal from Philip drunk
to Philip SOBER and right grandly did
he accomplish his mission. When he
arrived there he found the feeling so
strong against us that he could with
difficulty obtain leave to speak. He
stood before bowling mob in that
great Manchester gathering and de-
clared that he would not leave until
he had hearing. And he had it,
though sometimes the reporters were
his words. But those six marvellous
addresses went out through the land
and laid hold of the bette. heart OF
the people. Queen Victoria read them.
| and learning that her cabinet intended
| the recognition of the confederacy, she
saying that she never would acknowl-
edge a nation whose corner stone was
| slavery
Great Britain's recognition of the
| confederacy would have meant to Mr..
Davis government what that OF
] France did to the colonies in the revo-
luton. The value of Mr.. Beechers
services cannot be the subject Of cold
| mathematical calculation. but when
he threw all that was best Of him
every fiber of nerve and heart and
soul-into that great struggle, and

Of the f1rst zone rate. There 10 what 10
called local rate and q zone rate.
The local rate applies to packages that
are delivered within the city and along
yural routes running out from 1t. The

out from them. In other words, II II Is

will be found to deliver packages that

There will be a large saving to the

ROMANCE SURVIVES

He who would insist that ro-
nance is but a fancy, needs but to
go to the tranquil little village OF
Wa!mea to be convinced that he
has got a line on the wrong dope
There, one will hear how a pretty
lass i'll her teens, after having con-
sented to be married within a few
hoqrs, hied herself o parts uu-
known, eaving the would be bride
groom dumbfounded and her dis
appearance shrouded in mystery
The mystery was dispelled however
when on the following day officials
of the police department located
the female half of the romance, and
with her, a handsome cavalier for
whom She made no attempt to con-
ceal Il highest regards. The
couple were taken before the pro-
per official and on being asked
which of tie men she preferred to
marry, answered: Il love Jack,
bu, want to marry Bill" And it
came to pass, that after a whole
some supply of fatherly advice as
to the proper conduct of intending
brides, the young lady was per-
mitted to hunt" up her forlorn
Bill" who lost no time in bring
ing about results which gave her
to him forever and ever, and for
better or for worse. The happy
couple spent their honeymoon at
the moving picture show in the
evening of the first day, where
society overwhelmed them with
congratulations. They will make
their home in Waimea.

Lihue Has Newly Organized
Social Club and Calls
II "O'u" Club

a social club was formally or
ganized i'll I,ihue recently, officers
and COMMITTEES being d-u y ap-
pointed.
The name committee after con-
sidering large number of very
appropriate names has finally de-
Cided the club shall be named
the O'u' Club; the meaning of
which is known to members alone.
Officers consist of a President,
Treasurer and Secretary.
Miss Jordan heads the amuse-
ment committee, while Miss Day
is chairman o f the refreshment
committee, both these ladies being
ably assisted by bevy of accom-
plishcd members whose ability III
their respective branches is we'll
known in Lihue.
Monthly club meetings will be
held to take the form of dances on
outings as the committee on amuse-
ments shall decide. More Ella
borate balls will be given semi
annually.
AS the club boasts of p men,
bers fairly successful start is as
Sured.
The new Coterie has THE GAR
DEN ISLANDS best wishes for every
success; and prophesy some gay
old times ahead. 1t would seem
that some very pleasant exchange
of visits might he arranged be-
tween this club and a like or
ganization on the other side thus
occasionally bringing together the
Coteries of both sides of the IS
land.

Governor Makes Clean Sweep
In Educational Depart
Ment Affairs

Evidently attempting to make
the best of a bad bargin, Cover
nor Frear' has made clean sweep
of the higher ups in the depart
inent of education. That is, he has
accepted the resignation of Super
intendent Willis II. Pope and of
Mrs. Wilcox, the remaining Oahu
Commissioner. Messrs. w. r. Far
rin9tOn and Hon. w. H. Rice, the
latter our own commissioner, were
by virtue of the expiration of their
appointments, already disconneCt-
ed with the department, but the
fact that the Kauai commissioner
has not been reappointed is con-
elusive evidence that the governor
has no intention of doing so. This
attitude upon the part Of h e
governor is considered most un-
fortunate as Mr.. Rice is a man
who can speak on authority on
matters pertaining to school affairs,
and his untiring efforts toward
the best interests of the public
schools of the island, has gained
for him, the unstinted praise and
hearty cooperation of both teachers
and public alike. His services were
given willingly and painstakingly
to the cause and all must and do
freely admit that the highly salts
factory condition of our public
school buildings and general tone
of progressiveness of our schools,
is due entirely to the watChfulness
of Our commissioner, aided by a
board of Supervisors, whose mem
bers worked in perfect harmony
with him. By yielding to his per
sonal feelings in this matter. and
thus depriving the people of Kauai
of one of 50 much value to their
progress, Governor Frear is taking
a mighty long step towardsustain-
ing h at 'public-be-dam
policy of his.
Judge Hofgaard, h veteran
Waimea merchant, has been men
toned as a possible successor TO
Kauai's venerable commissioner.
Mr.. Rice retires from active
service with the aloha of every
teacher and resident of Kauai. In
stepping down and out, he leaves
position with a reputation for
doing things which will be difficult
to maintain. Aloha to our dear
old retiring commissioner.

also congralutations for the future
prosperity and welfare of the Ko-

FRUIT CO. ENLARGES

The Kauai Fruit Co., has just
completed an addition to its big
canning factory at Laval. The
building is fifty by one hundred
and is two-story. The lower floor
will be taken up with the canning
machinery while the upper floor
will be used for a syrup room, a
can manufacturing plant and ware
house. The increasing business Of
this enterprising firm has grown
so rapidly as to render the present
building inadequate, hence h e
new addition of ten thousand feet
of floor space. AS soon as time will
permit, the machinery will be shift
ed round and into the new wing
This will allow the pines to enter
the building at one end and be
conveyed through h e various
stages of procedure when they will

at point near the warehouse at
the opposite side of the building.
The last run amounted to thirteen

Rumors which spread rapidly
throughout Lihue Saturday and
Sunday morning, to the effect that
Manager Glaisyer and Captain
Ahana of the Lihue baseball ,eam
had resigned their positions, caus-
ed many to express their opinions
III no uncertain manner as to the
wisdom of supporting a baseball
team headed by such eratiCallv in
Clined leaders. It was reported
early Sunday morning that the Ii
hue team would not play, but the
fans turned out in full, and at the
appointed time. all were on hand
as usual, except DR.. Glaisver who,
though present, remained in his
car. Willie Ellis played in the role
of captain for the game after which
meeting was called and after
much discussion, the resignation
OF DR. Glaisyer as manager, was
accepted and Charlie Rice was
elected to the position. Ahana's
explanations were accepted and he
was reappointed to the captaincy
of the team.
In view 0 { the circumstance
concerinP his resignation on such
short notice, DR.. Glaisver has been
requested to state in brief article
to this paper, his reasons for re-
signing, and this statement appears
III the letter below:
EDITOR GARDEN ISLAND
In answer to your enquiries and
to obviate any misunderstanding
| would state that there has been
no dissension in the Lihue Base
ball team.
The only reason for my resigna-
ton is due to lack of interest in
the team of the players, as evil
denced by not coming out to
practice.
Since commencing practice in
March there has never once been a
full complement of infelders and
out-felders there.
The usual number ut for,
practiceis four to six. The hours
for practice are supposed to be
from 4:30 P. NJ. We never have
started earlier than 5 to $50.
Believeing that some one could do
better to get the boys out than this
| rendered my resignation.
We have good material but not
good enough % b at without
practice, other teams h are
religously praCticing regularly.
| believe that with Mr.. c. A.
Rice as manager Lihue will have a
winning team and anything that l
can do to help them along will
do gladly.
