No set program had been planned, it being understood that the meeting was' for the purpose of perfecting organization. As a matter of fact, however, several interesting features developed extemporaneously. President W. H.

Rice was in the chair and Miss Wilcox officiated as secretary Quite a few signed the roll a new, charter members, paying, at the same time, theannual fee of $1. At the last meeting it had been voted that the character roll be kept open only until May 22. It developed, however, that quite a number who had signified their intention of ioining had not yet signed the roll and we re unavoid ahlv detained from the meeting fin that account Mr. Chas. A.

Rice moved that the charter roll be lipid onen until July 1. a motion which carried by unanimous vote, Rev. T. M. Lydgate, for the pro gram committee, reported a long list of subjects which the committee recommended for the consideration of the society.

There were enough Jtuihieets in the lot. per'iaps, to 'supply programs for a year. The committee recommended that the society take up first the subject of the wreck of the Saginaw, on na nalei. manv vears ago. Attention was called to the fact that several members of the soci etv remembered the wreck of the Snirinnw.

and Mr. S. W. Wilcox. who was oresent.

Kave a short ac count of certain features ot the wreck. He also described the old Russian fort at Waimea, which he t-npw rrnite well when a boy, after the Russians had abandoned it, leaving many of their strange, old weapons and uniforms behind. Mrs. W. H.

Rice, Sr. also offered, as a matter of general interest, a letter written by a missionary in the South Seas in 1828 to a friend here, which was read by Miss Mc Intyre and passed around for examination. Mr. Lydgate read a letter from George R. Carter in reference to allowing the Kauai Historical Society access to the material of the Hawaiian -Historical Society, a ouofHulu.

on Kauai subjects, stat-V ing that a request to that effect I) would be referred to the governing board. It was decided that the originals of all papers presented before the society be preserved, and that, for convenience sake, copies ot them be transcribed in a permanent rec ord book. The matter of more frequent iriPPtitiirs came ud (the constitu tion nrovides for quarterly meet ral expressed the view that, at first at any rate, meetings should be held monthly. The matter was finally referred to directors, with instructions to make such arrangements as they might deem best. The moving picture show and dance in Eleele Saturday evening for the benefit of the McBryde baseball team proved very success ful in every particular.

The show itn ill the Park theater, and was conducted by J. C. Moura. Every seat was occupied, and quite number of extra tickets were sold hp dance which followed was in Eleele hall, beginning about o'clock and continuing until the -oriv morniner hours.

The choir ranged round the monument rendered several suitable hvntus very acceptably. There were responsive readings from the psalter, and a short address by Rev J. M.

Lydgate, in which he emphasized the significance and importance spiritual interests and commended the wisdom of gathering about the graves of our beloved dead, to re mind ourselves of the nearness of the other world and the transiton-ness of this. There were manv enthusiastic comments on the beauty ot the spot and the excellent condition in which it was kept. COMMISSIONERS OF The Commissioners of Educa Hon. in session at Honolulu, did not reach the business of appoint ing teachers yesterday, but had the schedule slated to be taken up this morninc. becinning with the island of Hawaii and probably con eluding with Kauai.

It was plan ned to rush the appointments and changes through in time for the commissioners to leave for home this afternoon, and that was pro bably done. The most important thing of local interest at latest accounts was the appointment of H. H. Brodie to succeed himself as supervising principal on this island. C.

W. Ashford appeared before the commissioners aud strenuously objected to the re appointment of Edgar Wood as principal ot the normal school. He made sensation- charges of incompetency and boorishness. commissioners took the matter under advisement. Mr.

Brandt, of Kauai, was not present at Saturday's session, but took his seat Monday morning, THE OU CLUB HAS The Ou Club had one jolly, good time at the bowling alley Friday evenine. all of the officers and most of the members being present Ot course the big feature of the evening was Doming, at which some of the young ladies proved auite exnert.

M. and Mrs. Lydgate, Chas. and Mrs Rice, Miss Mumford and others arrived from the meeting of the Historical Society, the bowl ing alley to almost capacity. The Ou Club is in a very pros perous ami promising condition, aud other interesting functions are promised by it for the future.

MAKAWELI VS. M'BRYDE The Makaweli-McBryde game was the "big" one of the day-or, at any rate, it drew by far the lar-, gest crowd. Practically the whole west end of the island was there, while Lihue was represented in force and there were, people present from as far as Hanalei. Autos were parked as far as they could conveniently halt off the mniika field, and the fronting road was full of machines.

Linds'av, in which it was stated in general that the plan of a select school' attachment to the high school, with a tuition fee for extra expenses, was within the law. Writing under date, of May 20, Superinteudant Kinney says further of this matter: "The Attorney-General's opinion, from Mr.

Alex. LiuMsay, to which I ref drred atlthe nieetinc, I have submittechto Attorney-Gener al' Stainback, who informed me. that he believes it tobe quite cor rect, but will give me an official opinion within a few days. Under the circumstances I can, personally, see no reason why we should not be able to carry out the suggested, and I hope that the commissioners will share this view." A SLATE RECEIVEO The telephone bell rang, and we prepared hear the important news that we felt sure was coming. "Is this the Garden Island?" On being assured that a coirect guess had been made, the voice went on: 'I want tell you that we decide about politics, and I want you put in paper.

You hear? Well, for Se' nate, we make Walter D. Mc Bryde. For House Representative, we say T. II. Brandt, of Waimea For supervisor, Alexander Mc Bryde.

"You hear? Yes? Well, you put that in paper." We promised that we would, so here you are. A notice in regard to certificates of Hawaiian birth appears in this issue, and, respecting it Territdrinl Secretary Thaver says? I have decided to issue no more Hawaiian birth certificates until such time as I am able to make arrangements with the immigra tion officials whereby greater in fltience may be given to the certifi cates issued by this olhce. Information -has come to me that unscrupulous persons in the different islands have been going about the country making the statement that they were authoriz ed by this office to secure petitions for birth certificates, and that the certificates, when issued, would cive the holders a right to enter the United States at any time with out opposition I wish this im nression dispelled in the minds of all A Coming Event Owing to the fact that the funds in the hands of The Department of Public Instruction will not be suffiqent to provide the necessary working materials for the schools, the Lihue teachers have undertaken a sale ot plain dresses, under clothing and fancy work done by the pupils There will also be various fancv articles donated by the teachers and friends in Lihue. Candy, cake, ice cream, soda water and flowers will be sold on the grounds. One feature of the sale will be a second hand clothing table, at which bargains may be expected.

Fmtiier notices of the sale, with date, will be given later. TELEPHONE JAPANESE HONOR EMPRESS' MEMORY Last Sunday being the day for intenng the remains of the late Empress Dowager, in Tokyo, services were held in all the Japanese churches and schools of the island in memory of the beloved mother of the country." The Lihue Plantation Japanese Sunday school, Japanese Christian church and the Japanese Buddhist mission, at kapaia, were the cen- ters of big gatherings; but the at tendance at tlie latter was much the largest, the school grounds being a surging mass of men, women and children. Thev came from every quarter of the neighboring planta- Hons, and more than 600 crowded into the school house adjoining the mission At the front of the interior of the' school building was a large framed picture of the late Empress Dowager, beautifully decorated with Hawaiian leis. Palms on either side of the platform added much to the beauty of the scene, The ceremonv began with a mournful chorus sung by school girls, and proceeded with an air of great solemnity. Rev.

Miyasaki read the paper of the day, and was followed by Mr. lsunoda, of the Y. M. B. who made a highly interesting and appropriate address that emphasized the three cardinal virtues of female character filial piety, constancy and loving kindness as exeiuplied in the life of the late Empress Dowager.

FAREWELL "TIME" A big "blow out" was given bv gentlemen of Makaweli Friday evening in honor of, and as a farewell to, Dr. Carl Keller, who has been acting physician at that place for the past ten months in place of Dr. West. A fine spread and all the features that go to make up a pleasant evening for mere man were fully in evidence. Among those present at the affair were: Dr.

Keller left by the steamer Kinau Saturday afternoon for Ho nolulu, where he will be located, temporarily, at least. While on Kauai he made many friends, by virtue of his amiable disposition and sterling qualities; and his departure is generally regretted. FRENCH LEAVE FOR A JAP MERCHANT A Japanese merchant named To- ngoe, doing business across the road from the cannery in Lawai, has disappeared, leaving, it is said, a long list of mpurning creditors behind him. It is known that he left for Ho nolulu on May 12, and the suppo sition is that he has moved on from there to parts unknown. The store of Torigoe, nt Lawai, is a small one, there being little of value in it.

So far as now known, none of the amounts owid by the man are, large, but there are os many of them thai the aggregate will be One suit against the ex store-keeper'was filed yesterday, but has not been served on account of his absence.
