Seeking Timber
For Merchants
Association

Messrs. C,.i lis and Trent, the nom-
mating committee of the Honolulu
Merchants Association, were the busi-
est men around town this morning
The cause OF their activity makes
something Of story.
Nine directors of the association are
elected annually. and they elect the
executive officers from among them
selves. Last year a clean sweep was
made of the retiring bOlrd entirely new
blood being elected to the directorate.
This was the oC, usiOn for some adVerS e
criticism. as a result of which the
nominating committee on the present
occasion, for the annual election on
Thursday mex, submitted to the mem
bership a list or nominees containing
FIVE holdover and four new names.
To the ASSOCIATION membership IN
general the slate would probably have
been satisfactory, but it mas turned out
that the nominees were not all con-
ST. tied and some of them, for business
reasons, will not accept the nomina-
ton. This fact has resulted In the
cancellation of the list and the hu, t.
Ing of the nominating committee to
find nine men that will consent IN ad
vance to serve.

ARMORY BIDS TO
Be OPENED
TOMORROW

Bids for the construction of the
National Guard armory, for which the
legislature set aside an appropriation
of 100000 will be opened at noon to-
morrow by Superintendent H. K. BIZ
shopk of the department of public
works. 1t is understood two or three
contenders for this important job will
appear with tenders.
The figures will be based on the
,remodelled plans, calling for a struc-
ture of the original size contemplated
but with some of the rooms eliminat-
ed. Contractors found that theorig.
inal plans required an outlay of $115,-
600 to S125,0O0. This was more than
the territory could pay, and the board
of supervisors refused to augment the
fund by taking the required additional
amount from the money belonging to
the city and county.
Very little material change has been
made in the original plans and speci-
fications, however, the principal re-
duction consisting in striking out
some of tn elaborate interior finish
ings, leaving them for completion at
later time when the necessity is
more urgent
Bids for the reconstruction Of the
Punchbowl reservoir also will be open
ed in the public works office tomorrow
noon.

Big Sum For Oahu
Boards Work Tells

Dor. The only money expected, from
the present congress- was some $65, 900

3-inch and 6-inch batteries at Fort Ka-
mehameha, this being. the only unfin-
ished project at the present time. 1t
is a comparatively smalt undertaking,
$4,000 having already been spent on
the emplacements.

Il cannot say what this $TQ0, 0,000

Major VIM. P. Wooten, corps of en-
gineers, this morning There is no
work now contemplated or In pro-
gress that would require any such
sum as this. In fact, the. only appro-
priation expected Isl to complete the
smaller batteries. at Pearl Harbor.
This news sounds almost too good to
be true, for it would seem to indicate
that the plans for the fortification Of
the whole island had been approved,
and that Congress intended to rush
things through to completion. The
sum mentioned would go slong way
toward carrying out the plans of the
board which convened here last sum-

Dispatches Announcing Appro-

An associated Press dispatch carries
the news that the appropriations for
Notifications, as reported to the house
of representatives yesterday, carries
an item of 100000 for land and sea-
coast defenses of Oahu. The appor-
;ionment of such large sum to Ha-
waii can mean only one thing-that the
report of the board of officers which
convened here last summer to formu-
late a plan ito make Oahu impreg-
nable" is being acted upon, and that
work en- the Notifications recommend
ed will be Immediately begun.
The army engineers here have no
knowledge of such a prospective ap-
rrcpriation. unless it is to start work

asked by Attorney G. r. Olsons Conn:
sci for the Austin estate in the fourth
Mahuka hearing; U. 8. District Attor-
ney r. w. Breckons. counsel for the
government, asks return Of $130, 900,
and these who have been following the
case believe that the valuation which
the jury is expected to return tonight
or tomorrow will lie somewhere be-
tween these two figures. i
Bretkons, In his argument before the
jury this morning, said he thought the
valuation should not be more than
$I05, 5,900, while Olson, in his opening
address, expressed the belief that the
most conservative finding could not be
concluded until y late this afternoon.
The courts instructions probably will
be read then and the jury will retire
Immediately. This is the longest ses-
sion that has been held in the present
case, the daily period being from $3.50
a. M. to 1890 p. m. 1t was desired,
however, to finish all the argument in
one das and send the jurymen into the
consultation room with the features of
the subject as reviewed and presented
by counsel fresh in mind.
One more condemnation suit of the
Mahuka series remains to be carried
through the court channels-that isto
determine the value of the leasehold
interest in the E. o. Hall site held by
e. O. Hall & Son and the amount of
damage to which the firm should be
entitled in being compelled to move
to a new location. It is thought it
will be the shortest of all the cases
conducted this far.

a RE there occasions when pretonsc
A is justified. and by '.pretcnse" I
mean a pleasing hypocrisy?
The stern moralists who gauge their
conduct by the width of hair will say
most certainly not. I contend there is.
I contend further that all Of us, like
Little Dorrit, can be of greater use in
the world by pretending just little.
But the pretense must be optimistic
pretense. We must not pretend that
things are worse than they are. We
must pretend they are better.
We must occasionally pretend to be
pleased when we are far from it. We
must pretend we like that which
friend gives us when we don't, and we
must pretend, day after day, in big
things and little that We are satisfied
when we are not.
I sometimes think that the woman
never lived who could make her father
and her brothers happy; who could win
and keep d lover, and who could please
husband without pretending a little
and pretending often.
The men are great blunderers. They
seldom get woman's viewpoint, and
in their attentions to her they do what
pleases them, and she must make that
please her.
\ mother knows what her daughter
likes: father spends more and buys
what is neither appropriate nor pleas
ing. As a girl she learns that she must
be pleased because he bought it; she
can't find pleasure in the gift.
The men love laughter and girl
must be pleased when her lover buys
tickets for a laugh producing play,
though she prefers a tragedy.
She must pretend to be pleased when
her husband. in the overlooking gen
crosby Of his heart, is persuaded by
some eloquent clerk to buy her bright
green dress when she wants and would
look better in a brown.
She must remember hundred times
a day to look at the spirit that prompts
IL kindly attention, and not with criti-
cal eyes at the manner in which the
attention is manifested.
I'm her dealings with her friends she
must pretend to be pleased at uneX-
pected company when every house
wifcly instinct is panlc-stricNen. She
must pretend, when a friend has pure
chased a hat, and must keep it and
wear 1t. that the hat is becoming. She
must pretend that a friend is looking
well when the truth would brighten
that friend into an illness.
She must pretend that she likes the
dahHas q friend send her, though she
prefers violets. She must pretend that
she is pleased at the gift Of book Of
poems, though she reads only prose.
And she must pretcnd-oh, such q
tragic number of times-that she is
happy when she is not. She must learn
that this pretense is every Womans
heritage, and that, like Little Dorrit
she can be of no use unless she prac
tees il.

~ AYSEY MAMYE APPLETON was
arrayed not only in q new Paris

N AYSEY MAMYE APPLETON was
arrayed not only in a new Paris
gown and new furs, but in the
consciousness that she was doing good
in a way that was both select and fash
ionable
She ordered her chauffeur to stop his
machine before the dingiest of East
Side tenements, and then called to the
newspaper photographers.
Il have come" she said, ''to inVesti-
gate the condition of the kimono strik-
ers. Please take my picture with a
front view so as to give the best eff
fects to my philanthropic expression"
Having thus submitted, much against
her will, to a dozen snapshots, Miss APP
pleton arose in her car. Waving a
muff containing enough fur to cover
dozen shivering shoulders as a sig
nal to the half-frozen, half starved
girls gathered around that she was
ready to address them, she began:
MY dears," she said in voice as
sweet as Il dinner bell. Il am here to
give advice that will help you In the
first place, you misjudge us. You think
because We are rich we have no sor-
rows.
Il came here direct from an open
grave" here her voice broke and her
tears began to fall II buried nv dar-
ling this morning. my life, my all"
Sobs choked her, but she went brave
ly on Il spent thousands Of dollars on
changes of climate, medical attention,
and the daintiest of food, but he was
not spared me. Oh, my dear sisters,
though l am wealthy. have my Geth-
Semane. He was three years old a
Pekinese, and the finest spaniel in the
city"
For a moment she was unable to
speak. 1--WE rich have other sorrows,
too" she continued. Il have had to
change maids twice this month, my
chauffeur can't speak a word of French
and every luncheon I gave for the pet
| buried this morning was ruined by
incompetent service.
Il have come with my sorrow to help
you bear yours. Let me suggest that
you brace your spirit for the conflict by
selecting good reading. Try Robert w
Chambers! He has a way of handling
corsets. af1inities and soul ambitions in
a most delicate manner.
81 have been told that some of YOU
are starving for bread. l will remind
you of what the famous French woman
said when the peasants cried for bread.
Why don't they eat CakeY My dear
suffering sisters, you will find cake. if
it contains plenty of fresh eggs more
nutritious than bread"
Then she took her seat. waved good
bye with her muff. and ordered the
chauffeur to drive on.
