THE SUNDAY ADVERTISER, AUGUST 8, 1909. THE TRAVEL CURE FOR OLD AGE AMUSEMENT Madame Irene Corsets New Arrivals Line New Combinatcia (Continued from Page Four.) gorgeous discovery, there naturally can be no ennui, and that is the condition of the young person when unspoiled. Equally the mild, knowing, and measured expectancy of old age makes for good traveling qualities. Perhaps the chief merit of travel as a prophylactic is that it keeps alive or renovates failing capacities for companionship. Whatever may be the charms of our American life, the provision for a comfortably serene old age is not one of them.

Between those who strive and those who have ceased striving an unnatural gulf is established. Young America hardly has time to parley bevoiid Elegant Line of Waists 1 HAWAIIAN CHIEF DIES OF THE ASTHMA Ann'e Ki' r. xa, the wife of Captain A. C. Simerson, of this city, died at 11 a.

in. yesterday morning at Ler home at Kapalanja. She was torn at Koloa, I -land of Kauai, December 30, lioo, and was about fifty-four years of age. She was of a line of high chiefs of Kauai and Hawaii, and a relative of the Kame-hamehas. Her father was Lilikalani of Kar, and her mother was Hannah Ulu-lani of KaawaSoa, Hawaii, the daughter of Keaweaiieulji, the son of Kanuha the Great, who was in Turn the son of Moana (f), the great-great grandmother of the kings and queens of these Islands.

Mrs. Simerson was also the sister of the Hon. Edward Lilikalani of tnis Her earlier education was at Koloa, in the boarding school, under the direction of the" Rev. J. W.

Smith. Ind in the school of Rev. Daniel Dole of the' same place. She entered the Kawaiahao Seminary in 1867, with Princess Miriam Likelike and Mrs. Lily Auld 'as her Bchoolmates, being taught by Eev.

Hiram Bingham and his sister, Elizabeth Bingham, the principal of the school. Mrs. Simerson was first married to Samuel Ulumaheihei Maikai, a relative of Queen Kapiolani (nephew). They had a daughter, Helina Kaiwaokalani. The second husband was C.

We Invito Inspection the moment's need with old America. With the disappearance of caps" and stocks it has become more difficult for old people to seem venerable. Instead they struggle to keep young, thus depriving themselves of a dignity and society of a. grace. They tend to settle into hopeless ruts among themselves story-telling, bridge, golf in the limbo beneath the handicap efasses.

Households, unless we are mistaken, have an increasing tendency to break up into smaller 'groups, leaving the older members stranded in a rather mournful independence. At any rate, one rarely sees in the city those partriachal families in which grandparents, aunts, uncles, and aged cousins eould easily have east a majority vote. Now, travel is the great compensation for the lack of an old-style nest. One has only to follow the preferred isotherms to see contented old age. Indeed this modern substitute for slippered ease at home has eertain obvious advantages.

Minor infirmities that loom formidably large at home vanish before constant diversion of the mind. or anti-social moods are put to flight by the pleasures and necessities of the route. Moreover, a trained judgment and matured humor the most precious attributes of old age are kept sharp by daily attrition upon the most various material. What strikes one most in the many aged acquaintances one makes in travel is their indefatigable spirits and unblunted capacity for friendliness. Modern methods of locomotion distinctly play into the hands of the old.

Whatever of romance has vanished with the postchaise and diligence they can very well spare. Today, they may travel without peril of exposire and priva-ation. Given moderate means, they can secure en route all reasonable comfort and safety. In the truest sense, the world is at their disposal, for they command that most precious thing, time, and they move without the perturbing energies of younger years. It was a venerable not an old lady, just entering the eighties, who, planning a trip to the edge of the African desert, was told that she surely would be buried there.

Her retort was that she must be buried somewhere. As a matter of fact, she recovered from a most serious African fever in time to pass through the Kingston earthquake nnterrified if not unscathed, and since then sh has visited much of the fairest scenery about the Mediterranean. We have no desire to weigh the relative advantages of old age at the fireside and on train or ship. The new mode is, possibly better for the peripatetic elderly person than it is for our society at large. With old age assiduously seeking novelty, what is to become of our traditions! Those of ns who are too old or too young to travel may well consider the advisafbility of inducing a certain number of our most impressive old people to stay at home for the Sake of posterity.

But we fear the proverbial answer will be wafted from many a departing liner: "What has posterity ever done for met" E.11IMJI FLAXON Plain and Checks COMMERCIAL NEWS (Continued from Page Four.) have dropped to $173.

There was hardly the activity In the bond market that characterized the preceding week: Some good sales were made, however, notably of Hilo railroad" sixes.

Beginning tomorrow night the Park Open Air Theater will show a series of pictures illustrating tbe beauties of the great natural wonder, Yellowstone Park, a preserve which the United Stares government proposes to keep as elc-e to primeval nature as it is possible to do. So far into the park is the railroad allowed to go and no farther so that tourists who visit this beautiful place must take part of their journey in one of the big, old fashioned coaches proyided for the purpose. Four troops of United States cavalry are stationed in the park during the year and the boys are.

responsible for the good order maintained. The roads in the park are said to be the fit est in the world and wonderful examples of engineering. The hot springs and geysers are shown and "Old Faithful" 'with its spectacular performances is seen to excellent advantage. Antelope and deer are to be seen and the great falls and canyons brought to view. In addition to this series of great pictures there will be the usual assortment of other subjects and Mr.

Carlisle will give a monologue and explain the different scenes in the Yellowstone through which a party passes. The reviewers of the Dramatic Mirror, after seeing these pictures at Keith 's New York Theater wrote: "Our greatest wonder is that it has never before occurred to an American producing company to put a similar film in circulation. It is the most interesting subject of the scenic elass we have ever seen. The motion views of the geysers and' other points of interest in the Yellowstone country are so far superior to still pictures of the same localities as to leave no room for Art Theater. The Younger Brothers, famous outlaws of a few deeades ago, when they entered a town one day and attempted to "hold up a bank but.

were frustrated and chased by the sheriff's posse and finally run down and sent to prison for a long term of years, may be seen at the Art Theater on the' moving-picture screen: Cole Younger recent- ly told his experiences on that famous bank raid, and expressed regret that his younger days were such that he was led into bad company which finally made him one of a band of men who thought they could get money easily. There is a moral in Younger 's life, for he is now a good citizen. This is the feature film this week and is graphically illustrated. LOCAL BREVITIES. On Monday, probably, the contracts for the construction of the Kahului docks will be signed up.

A wireless report from Hawaii states that Supervisor Fernandez has resigned. The appointment of a successor to Fernandez rests with the Governor. Superintendent of Public Works Marston Campbell is at work on a plan which contemplates the reforestation of all of the denuded mountain land in the Territory. After the public school principals had duly filed their requisitions for supplies with the Supervisors, it was discovered that the Board of Education has its own appropriation. The Nightingales' concert and dance in the of P.

hall last nght was very well attended and turned out to be one of the most enjoyable affairs of its kind of the year. On Monday bids will be advertised for the Kuiwili Pond dredging contract. This will require 57,000 cubic yards of material dredged from the Haekfeld slips to fill the Kuiwili ponds back of Oahu prison.

Seats for the Orpheum performance last night were nearly all sold twenty-four hours before. The popularity of the show seems not to wane and there is no reason why it should for it is made up of the sort of things the public wants. It is safer for those who want good seats to reserve them iu advance otherwise they may be disappointed. -There is no let up in the attendance and the audiences seems to be delighted night after night.

ALTAR MEMORIAL TO FATHER CLEMENT Father Clement, the good old priest who was the spiritual father of many and the friend of all, although his heart seemed to beat quicker for the needy and the sick, has since gone to his reward. He will make his appear-ance any more in the hut of the poor nor at the bed of the sufferer. He'yet lives, however, in the hearts of many who, even if they did not receive themselves a share in the charitable administrations of the humble servant of Christ, admired him for doing so much good in such a quiet way. Some of his friends have thought of erecting a monument to his memory on his last resting place; but on consulting others it has been judged that such a memorial would be more appropriately placed ijK Father Clement favorite chapel of St.

John the Baptist at Ka-lihi-waena. After consultation with the present pastor of that parish. Father Ulrieh. it has been decided to erect a memorial altar in said chureh. Plans for a magnificent altar, in gothie style, have been prepared and the construction thereof has been entrusted to Lucas of the Honolulu Planing Mill.

Lists are being circulated to gather funds for this purpose and it is hoped that Father Clement rs friends will generously contribute. lilluKfi UK i Beretania and Aala Streets BASEBALL SUNDAY, AUGUST 8, 1909 1:30 P. M. J. A.

It has been decided to light all of the main thoroughfares of Manoa val ley with medium candlepower incandescent lights. Seven of these take the place of one arc' light.

Residents of the valley are also planning an active crusade for better streets. Lower Manoa road, or Church road as it is better known perhaps, can be greatly widened. When the College Hills district was opened up, Oanu College gave a very wide strip of additional land for road purposes, but this gift, has never been taken advantage of. The residents ol the valley are now out in earnest to have the work done, as the road at present is in very poor shape. Stock Transactions.
