When the last batch of news came from Honolulu the Hilo Sufferer rushed to the long distance telephone and gave the crunk a vigorous turn: "Hello Central; give me Governor Carter's office," he said. "Hello," said Governor Carter, "who's there?" "The Sufferer at Hilo." "Glad to find you nre able to talk; what's the trouble now?" "Is it true Governor that you fired Andy Brown?" said the Suf ferer. "Yes that's straight," said the Governor. 1 "And what did you put Andy out for," inquired the Sufferer. "I nm responsible in a way for the integrity of this administra tion," replied the Governor. "Heads of bureaus must be respon sible for their respective depart ments. Laxncss on their part in office methods aud in choice of sub ordinates fosters carelessness, which leads to defalcation aud scandal I will have none of it. Is that all?" said the Governor. "It is not all," said the Sufferer, "I want to congratulate you for the stand you take as to Honolulu de partments, and ask if your benign jurisdiction does not extend over all the Hawaiis, even unto Hilo?" "I think you are right," said the, Governor, "I think I'm supposed to be governor of the whole territory." "Well," said the Suuerer, "you know of the shortages in the Hilo police department don't you Gover nor." "Yes. yes, I know, but " "Well, you know how Sheriff Andrews manages it when he finds a leak, don't you?" "How's that?" "You know he's a lhard discipli narian, is this Sheriff Andrews. A subordinate defalcates; he fires him; makes him mortgage his property to recompense the government; then restores the defalcator to his job. Then after that the defalca tions are much smaller, vcrv much smaller indeed. You know about it, don't you Governor." "Yes, yes, I know, but " "Well, I was just thinking you should transfer Andrews to Hono lulu aud let him get in his fine dis ciplinarian work on your Honolulu employees who are careless with the cash. When he's through with them, they will still be public ser vants, but they won't steal anything like as much as they did before his drastic policy of firing and hiring over again was applied." "What's this,?" said the Gover nor, "You tell me that Andrews keeps men in office under him whom he knows have done crooked work?" "That's what." "That's worse than Andy Brown. Andy thought his boys were straight. I fired him for not know ing they were straight. Now what to do with a man who knmvs his subordinates are crooked is past me. I shall discuss this matter with my advisers." "Be careful whose advice you take, Governor Carter. There's a lot of spurious stuff being passed up to you every day. For instance J you remember the fellow who told I you that Andrews was not respon sible for the Porto Rican thumb stringing episode in the Hilo jail? Andrews was responsible. He I claimed the honor in an interview j in n Hilo paper at the time. Later, i when an investigation was ordered from Washington, Andrewsand his j gang In Hilo fastened the blame i upon a subordinate. Of course, I Governor, ' you know all these 1 things and have enough to do with out trying to maintain law and order and justice in Hilo, so-I'll ring off." Tennyson's I'orm nnd Strauss' Mu sic, lire Wnrnn Toirntlipr. It was not wholly for the benefit of the kindergarten. The kinder garten fund var, swelled to the tunc of about $70; but that was not the whole benefit. The some one hun dred odd guests who assembled in the parlors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Scott at Wainaku, felt that the affair was a benefit for themselves. The Knoch Arden con cert is what is being talked about. It was given by the ladies of the Kin dergarten to raise money to buy more chairs for the little folks, who through the Hilo Free Kindergar ten find a free highway to their A BCs. The entertainment was a com bined recital and musicalc, consist ing of one number. The music was piano accompaniment to the reading of Enoch Arden one of Tennyson's best known poems The music was composed and arranged by Richard Strauss. As rendered by Miss Caroline Potter last Friday night, the notes of the musician blended in fine sympathy with the words of the great poet, pronounced so ef fectively by Mrs. A. G. Curtis. Strauss renders the poem in music along three main motives, one for each of the principal characters. The scenes brought out by the poet find new expression in the language of the musiciau. The poet leaves one face to face with heartbreaking tragedies: the musician's notes come like soft airs across a burnt city restoring with its magic the crumbled palaces of the soul. The musician has not tried to eclipse the poet, or if so, has failed. He could have played above the poet's plot .with his melody of joy aud despair, causing persons and places to disappear, leading his auditors to where fate aud destiny, joy and grief, hope and despair contend in the abstract the place where music holds undisputed reign. As it was presented, there are many who will find the music detracts from the reading and the reading from the music. The com poser would have produced a better effect by giving longer alternating periods of music. Or an audience would be more certainly carried away and restored again gently to earth if at the close of the leading, the piano could break into a bold imaginative resume of the pathetic story Mrs. Scott's parlors would ac commodate only one hundred spec tators, so the tickets were limited. The chairs were nearly all filled by appreciative listeners and many a furtive tear paid tribute to the ex cellence of the rendition by Miss Potter aud Mrs. Curtis. SLATTKKY OX IllI.O.

Slattery, of Honolulu, en gineer for the Light house district comprising the Hawaiian Islands, was in Hilo Sunday. Mr. Slattery is making a tour of this Island in specting light houses and selecting sites for new ones. Captain Niblack made a similar tour a few weeks ago, and from the combined recom mendations of the two officials, the plans of the Light house Board will be made. Mr. Slattery was greatly inter ested in Hilo. He expressed the opinion that Hilo lacked organiza tion and when told that an organ ization was in process of formation to look after the general interests of the city, he said that it was only through such means that a city can progress. He believes that Hilo does not make half enough noise about her needs. He considers many of her demands just and that energetic and combined effort will see them complied with. He thought that a city with the re sources of Hilo and surrounding districts could well afford to keep a representative in Washington du ring sessions of Congress. IIOAHIt OP TK.VDK 01' IllI.O. Excellent llruilmiy Made In l'tTferl I it tr Ortcanliitloit. The Board of Trade of Hilo was the name adopted last Saturday night by a mass meeting of citizens, met to organize for the upbuilding of the city. The attendance was larger aud the interest more en thusiastic than at the previous meeting. The report of the com mittee on rules and regulations was made, aud in the discussion of the various proposals the gentlemen present showed a lively interest and under the discussion that took place the working plan of the organiza tion assumed definite form. The committee, which consisted of Messrs. P. Peck, C. E. Wright, B. F. Schocn, Dr. Hayes and W. H. Lambert, submitted a constitu tion and by-laws which were in the main satisfactory to all present. These were considered section by section and minor alterations sug gested and adopted. The constitu tion and by-laws will come up for adoption as a whole at a meeting tomorrow night at Fireman's hall. Election of officers will J also proba bly take place. The general plan of organization provides for a set of permanent working committees. There are seven of these. They will have charge of work in different avenues all tending to promote the increase of Hilo's importance' and trade. There are to be committees on Transportation, Varied Industries, Legislation, Federal and Territorial, Advertising and Promotion, Public Works, etc. The chairmen of these committees, together with the general officers of the association will compose an executive council of thirteen members. This, is the main directing power of the organ ization aud through it the various committees will present their recom mendations and conclusions to the general body. . The plan makes it possible for every citizen to have a careful hear ing on any subject for the further ance of the interests of Hilo and to have that subject taken up by the proper committee aud pressed upon the executive council. The meeting tomorrow night will be an important one, every Hilo citizen should be present. ... GlIAMBIiKLAIN'S COUGH RKMKDy is intended especially for coughs, colds, whooping cough and influen za.
