Htinll ths Night Hchool be Kept Open Diirlnic Vacation? I unpec- tor Townaend'a Trip to Kauai. All the members and officials of the Board of Education woro present at yesterday's meeting. After tho reading of tho min utes Inspector-General Townsend for the Special Committee on Classification of Salaries reported progress. Whilo'not propared to Tnnko a final roportho said tho committee- had held soveral meet ings on tho subject and had done considerable figuring. They had decided that all now appointments should bo govorned by tho new classification but as to tho old ones tho committee was yet in doubt whether tho raises in salary under the new schedule for length of service would not exceed tho amount of the appropriation. The committee hoped to make a nnal report next week. Professor Scott of the High School appeared before tho Board and extended an invitation for the "members to attend the closing exer cises of. tho school on Monday next at 7 :30. Mr.Scott explained that tho school would continue until Friday but all other evenings but Mon day were occupied n with jubilee and other entertainments. Professor Alexander from tho Teachers' Committee roported that thoy had decided to recom mend Mrs. Harriet Davis of La haina to the position now filled by Miss May Atkinson. Mr. von Holt wanted to know the reasons which actuated the committee in their selection but none were forthcoming. He then inquired if Mrs. Davis' name was the first on tho list of applicants for posetion but got no satisfac tion. He then inquired if there were any( applications on file antedating that of Mrs. Davis but no ono could inform him. Ho then said ho had under stood it to be tho desiro of the de partment to promote its present teachers at every opportunity and asked why tho Toaohers' Commit tee bad recommended a stranger in contravention of tho under standing that a system of promo tion was to prevail. Mrs. Dillingham, a member of the committee, .thought perhaps it had been hasty in recommending the appointment.lt would be better to refer it back for reconsideration and it was so ordered. Minister Cooper said that there would likely be a good many changes to make and vacancies to fill at the olose of tho term. It would probably be as well to have it understdod that no appoint ments would bo made until the vacation. Inspector Townsend agreed with tho Minister but wanted an excep-, tion made in tho case of the La hainaluna school, of which the principal, Osmer Abbott, had been f ran ted a year's leave of absence, hero were two persons named as substitutes, ono being Fred Ab bott, tho principal's brother, and the othor a man namod Rippetoo, both of whom woro at presont resid ing in Spokano,whithor Mr.Abbott was going direct. It was desira ble that tho appointment be made beforo next Thursday so that Mr. Abbott could take it with him. It was finally decided that Mr. Abbott should be conforrod with before his departure and a satis factory arrangemont mado. Deputy-Inspector Scott roport ed that all the improvements in tho way of blinds and transoms in the new school houses had been completed and painted a delicate green. Inspector Townsend not being ready with his report on his trip to Kauai, Ministor Coopor asked for a verbal ono. The inspector said ho noticed on the wholo a considerable improvement in their condition and followed with a general description of tho condi tion of each school and the abilities of the teachers. The schools were generally over crowded, one four-roomed school being mentioned where tho class es ranged from 43 to 55 in num ber. Some of the schools ho found very backward, giving an instance of one whose ages pavoraged 11$ years which had just reached the middle of tho, Second Header, but stated that it was not the fault of tho teacher who was doing her boat. Othor schools woro men tioned where it was evident that if the principal and assistant changed places it would be better for tho schools and in quite a number of instances Mr. Town send suggested that tho teachers could not bo got rid oE too quick ly. Ho mentioned tho cano of ono young lady, ono of tho rooeut im poitations, who had remnrkod "that no school teacher on Kauai could tench hor anything" as be ing sadly in need of instruction, so much so that ho Bbould try so arrange it so that she had ample tirno to stay home and study for the next examinations. He had also re coived numerous applications for increases of salaries mostly from noiuers or iow-gracio cortiucuiet. He had advised theeo that tho quickest way to obtain higher salary was to get a higher certi ficate. A largo number of applications for positions under tho depart ment were read and filed. The matter of filling tho vacan cy of school agent on Molokai, caused by tho death of R. W. Meyer, was brought up but action was deferred. f Professor Alexander was ap pointed a corainittoo of ono to ro port a Buitablo resolution on tho death of R. W. Meyer. J-u ( Mr. Townsend brought up tho question of vertical writing-in tho schools and said thore would be difficulty in obtaining suitable books, owing to tho contract with the American Book Company. Mr. Scoti thought tho matter could bo arranged by writing to tho company and explaining tho situation of tho Board,and the In-spoctor-Genoral was requested to do so. Mr. Scott said he had been re quested to bring up a matter con nected with the Night School. Would tho goneral vacation be extended to the Night School? Many of its pupils wero desirous that it should continue on, espe cially as thore would bo no school for the first threo months of next year. Ministor Cooper doubted if the sohool should be kopt going for the oonvenienco of a fow. He had passed by the school several times of late and noticed that tho attendance was extremely limited, on one occasion thore were but two or threo in ono of tho rooms. This looked as if the Night Sohool served tho only purpose of put ting a few extra dollars into tho teacher's pockets. Inspector - General Townsend said that might have been Mr. Lightfoot's special , class for ,toacbers. Ho had visited that class one night and found one toachor thero ,and ono who was preparing to bo a teacher. Mr. Scott said thero wero six teachers enrolled in that class. As to the night school itself tho at tendance was very dosultory, by reason of tho occupation of somo of the pupils. Ho would suggest that a limit bo fixed for each room, say 25, and if the attendance fell below that it bo discontinued and tho pupils merged in tho othor classes. Ministor Cooper said he would like to know more about the con dition of affairs. Let Mr. Light foot present a report showing tho daily attendanco at tho Night Sohool since January 1, and the Board could then act intelligent ly. So ordered. Tho application of W. A. Ray of Papaikou for leave of absence until tho end of August was grant ed. The Board then went into outivo sossion. oxo- Coffeo pots from 15 cents up at Sturdevanfs. THE NANIWA TO GO HOME JAPANESE CMUI8KR MAY RAIL FOR 1I09IE NEXT WEEK. Nothing far lhi Wnr.luptn WnllFiir 'iiiinrllor Aklynin Will o With Her. It has been whispered around that tho Japanese oruisor Naniwa will sail for home next Wednes day. It is an open secret that as far as tho mission on which she came is concerned thero is nothing for her to do but to go home. Her captain is credited with making tho romark ou tho Philadelphia at tho roceptiou on Wednesday night that ho should probably leave in a few days, a3 there was nothing to wait for here, uud ho did not care to keep her here uudor a heavy expense. it is also given out that tho ofiicore of tho Naniwa will accopt no further invitations or courtesies frOtn shore peoplo for tho reason that their time of departure is un settled and likely to be too Bhort for thorn to roturu any calls. Cortain it is that uono of thorn havo had shore loavo in the past two days. It may safely be conjectured that Counsellor Akiyama has obtained all tho information ho desires as to tho right of tho Ha waiian Government to rejoct emi grants who. come hero contrary to law and nothing remains for him but to go home and lay tho results of his trip to Honolulu beforo tho Tokio Gov ernment for futuro action. If any further communications are. mado to the Hawaiian Govern ment on the matter thoy will bo more than likely to come through ordinary diplomatic channels. At the Foreign Office nothing was known of the reported depar ture of the Naniwa, but it was thought likely that her stay in this poi t would soon come to an end. Kllnbnua Art League. There was a business meeting hold at tho rooms of tho Kilohana Art League yesterday evening. The society is tho richer by tho gift of an intaglid head of D.How ard Hitchcock, by Mr. Allen Hutchinson, but tho losor by the resignation of tho latter gentle man, as he is permanently leaving Honolulu at this time. Mr. Hutchinson was elected an hon orary member, with muoh appre ciation expressed for what ho has done in his art for the League and for the community. Tho dates for tho autumn exhibition wero set for the latter port of November, and thore wero throe additions made to tho membership. Weitern Bret Sugar Dirt tors.

Ho Can nrlnfe Iiiterfilnir Mrinnrlea if nan) Jlrn "f former "Marks tho lawyer" of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is livin retirement in this city, in quiet day tho Kansas City Star. He i Judgo Abraham Mark, the man whoso namo Mrs. Harriet Beeuher Stowe solocted for the lawyer in hor great book. Any likouees between "Marks tho lawyer" of tho stage and Judgo Marks of real lifo ends with tho name. In appearance and character thoy aro as widely dissimilar as could bo imagined. The stage Marks is half buffoon, half brute, with an impossible, costume and an inordinate thirst for tho blood of runaway slaves; tho real Marks tho lawyor is u courteous, learned,, elderly gentle man of the old school, who bears a striking resemblauco to John Sherman, and with whom it is a delight to talk. This old gcptlemau is interest ing, not only because his name was given to a character of tho stage that has probably made moro poople laugh and hato than any othor, but ho wus a schoolmate of Edgar Allan Poo and has a scar ou his head made accidentally by tho poot when they were hunting robins together; he played mar bles with Chief Justice Marshall; he played cards with Honry Clay; ho fought a duel in San Antonio, Tex., when there wero only thir teen white men in the place; bo sat many a day on the sill of the old log Capitol of Texas and smoked with Sam Houston; be practised law for sixty-ono years in the North and South and he was a Judgo in Louisiana in the years iust before tho Civil War. He 'never met Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe beforo sho wrote her fumous book. If ho had sho might not have broughthis name to such infamous notoriety. Ho asked her once how sho came to use his name for one of tho chief charactors in her book. Sho told him sho had been to tho South botore the Btory of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" shaped itself in her mind. Ho was a judgo then in Louisiana. His peculiar namo stuck in hor memory and when sho wished to namo hor lawyor his was the first and only ono that suggested itself to hor and she used it. "I havo Been the play," said Judgo Marks tho othor day, as ho sat in a comfortable armchair in his lodgings, 123 Wost Ninth street, as he twirled his eye glasses between his Angora. "The character of Marks tho lawyor is a preposterous thing. .It's a mis taken character becauao it is not at all like myself or any other lawyer that ever lived., "I was 83 years old my last birthday and I expect to be buried in Kansas City," ho said. "Oh, I havo had a vuried career. Sph that scar on my head ?" Ho bont down his head to show a seal two inches longin tho Bcalp."That was made by Edgar Poo. Wo wore schoolmates together in Rich mond, Va. Wo woro hunting robins ono day and I got botweon his gun and a bird as ho fired and sovoral of tho shot toro through my scalp. Ho was so frightened at the sight of tho blood that ho dropped his gun and ran. I nover mot him afterward. Ho was adopted by Allan, tho tobac conist, and sont to West Point, but was discharged for drunken ness. "I waB born in Richmond. My. father was Recorder of tho city and gavo a reception once to Gon eral Lofayotte. I romombor it woll. That was about 1821. My mother Bang tho JMurselloiBo."' Sho wos a splendid singor.
