MISS FLORA JT. ALBRIGHT TALKS
ENTERTAININGLY OF LIFE IN
HAWAII
NATIVE GIRLS ABE BRIGHT
Are of n Mixed Type, Some of Them
Being Fair While Other*
Are It at heir
DiiKky.
Miss Flora N. Albright, who has spent
the last hye and a half jva:s in Honolu
lu, as teacher in the Kamahameka School
for Girls, is visiting in St. Paul, the
guest of her father, D. B. Albright, 697
Martin street. M'ss Albright left Hono
lulu a~bout a month ago, to spend a brief
vacation in this country. She will return
to her school in August.
"The Kamahameka school is a private
institution," said Miss Albright to the
Globe last evening. "It is tndcwcd by
a wealthy resident of Honolulu, and its
object is to give the native girls an In
dustrial education, in addition to the
higher branches that correspond with
those taught in our own American col
leges. The school is patterned closely
after Mount lljlyoke college, in this
country, the pupils doing most of the
work of housekeeping and pursuing their
.studies at the same time. There are at
present seventy-five girls in the school,
all bright pupils, although, so far as ap
pearance is concerned, they are rather
an odd mixture, representing a variety
of types. There i.s one pupil whose moth
er Is a Chinese and whose father is a
native. Another has a Jap for a father,
the mother being a Hawaiian. Some are
as fair as American children; others re
semble the negro type very closely. The
pupils learn rapidly enough and recite
glibly, but are slower in reasoning than
American pupils."
Mis.- Albriglu said that the public
school system in Honolulu is exception
ally good. An Ohio school girl, going
out to join her parents at Honolulu,
was unable to enter the same grade in
the schools there that she had held in an
Ohio city school, b.cause her training
had not been sufficiently thorough. M.ss
Albright witnessed the lowering of the
Hawaiian colors and the hoisting of the
Stars and Stripes at Honolulu Aug. lit,
1898. She described it as a rather de
pressing- spectacle. All morning the Ha
waiian colors floated from the tall flag
staff on the palace grounds, and groups
of natives gathered here and there about
the stree;s, regarding it fixedly. With
the approach of high noon, however, the
hour set for the lowering of the colors,
hardly a native was to be seen on the
streets. They had retired to their homes
to avoid witnessing what was to them a
painful spectacle. The officers in ehaige
were warmly commended, said Miss Al
bright, for the regard they showed this
natural feeling. There was no needless
display connected with the proceedings.
The late war with Spain has done much,
Miss Albright thought, to increase the
natives' regard for the United States.
It was rather amusing-, she said, to
watch the interest the native schoolboys
took in the progress of the war. They
could tell the names of the various boats,
the commanders and the battles, and
when news of the nnal victory came
faint hurrahs from various groups of na
tive small boys could not fail to convince
the American listener that patriotism was
gradually becoming instilled.
"because it is cosmopolitan, cosmopoli
tan in the broadest sense, Honolulu is
essentially picturesque," said Miss Al
bright. "One passes in the street types
from almost every country. One sees
the same types perhaps on the streets of
New York, but they are not so pro
nounced. The eompleter civilization of
the metropolis has worn away the sharp
edges. The favorite style of dress of the
Hawaiian woman is the holoku. We
would call it a Mother Hubbard wrapper,
for it is precisely the same."
"When she tirsr went out to Honolulu
Miss Albright attended a reception give 1
by Queen Liliuokalani, and hud a lon*
conversation with the royal lady, and
also with the Princess Kaiulani, who as
sisted at the reception. Both women wer>
interesting, but the ex-queen was muc'i
the brighter of the two. The natives
have a most affectionate regard for ex-
Queen LH, and venerate the memory of
the dead princess. In the school wh.r.-
Miss Albright is teacher there are several
of the former's proteges, and they inva
riably speak of her as "the que.n." Sh?
has been very charitable to those of h;r
people who have needed her aid. M's?
Albright attended a rumb?r of informal
receptions given by President Dole, for.
although he lives in a very unpiutenti'U3
fashion, every Fiiday afternoon the gen
eral public is welcomed at his home.
"The grounds surrounding the house ar
beautiful." said Mirs Albright, "but the
building itself is a very modest «=tiuctur*\
Mr. and Mrs. Dole are both literary in
their tastes, and a literary atmosphere
pervades the house."
When Miss Albright left the "bubonic
plague was spreading over the tslanl,
and a number of deaths had occurred.
The white people had not been alarm?']
at first, thinking the diseas? would con
fine itself to the Chinese quarters, but
there l»ad been some deaths among the
white population, and the result -was
something like a panic.

TWO BRIGHT COMEDIES.
They Were Presented Lnat Mftht by
Inity tin lid.
Two bright little plays, ab'.y presented,
entertained a large audience at I'n.tv
church last evening-. The entertainment
was given under the auspices of Unity
guild. The more pretentious of the two
plays, a one-act c.medy entitled "A M nk
Was He," is the work of a St. Paul young
woman, Miss Lily A. Long. The plot
hinges on a case of mistaken identity,
but, though the motif is trite, the s o-y
is brightly to.d, the scen.s cleverly man
aged, the comedy genuine. The players
were warmly applauded and Ihe writer
of the play heartily commended. A fan
cy drtss party, to give the story of tb,J
play in brief, is arranged by a number o'
people, among whom are the usual pair
of lovers, some friends of the lovers, ana
some who are not friends of the. lovers.
The costume of a monk, it ?s understoo 1
by some of the. party, will bo worn by
the lover; others think It will be wo n
by a young married man, hi- wife being
among the number who labor under tfci«
impression. Though a mistake, it s aa
sumtd by awea thy uncle who i s obstinate
ly opposed to the unk.n of the iovers. Dis
. guised, he hears some unflatteri-gly tru ■
! things about hims;lf. He repents h s ob
stinacy and the couple are marrl-d. Th?

The next concert of the Schubert se

a first rate pianist and a favorite vo

known" not only through his compositions

CAUSE UNKNOWN
Finally Found to Lis i.i the Coffee.
"We have had a curious and unpleasant
experience with coffee drinking, husband
and I. I have been a great sufferer for
several years with Indigestion and heart
trouble, and did not know the cause of it
until I finally came to the conclusion that
It was the use of coffee. So we abandoned
the coffee and took* up Postum Cereal
Food Coffee, which 1 had seen advertised
in the daily papers.
"Since using it, I have, to my great sur
prise, improved wonderfully. Husband
has gained eleven pounds In two months
since he left off coffee and began the use
of Postum. He sleeps soundly at night
now, which he does not remember having
done for several years before on account
of nervousness. It is remarkable that
people go on in ill-health and do not dis
cover the cause of the trouble.
"You may depend upon It, we know
how to make Postum good, and that is
easy, if one will use a sufficient amount
and boll it long enough. It is really an
elegant and delicious drink. I don't want
my name to appear in the papers, If you
should publish this testimonial." ,
Chattanooga, Term. The Postum Cereal
Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich., are per
mitted to give the name of this lady by
letter, if desired,
club at once secured him to take the !
place of Joseffy. In point of technique !
Godowsky is unrivaled, and it is said j
that in the playing of his own composi
tion, "Moto Perpetuo," he recently at
tained a speed of twe: y notes a second,
or 1,200 a minute, a n Welous rate. -
The other artist engaged lor the con
cert, Lewis Shawe, deserves no less
praise or appreciation because he hap
pens to live in St. Paul. lie is com
paratively a new comer, has sung but
seldom, and is already a favorite here.
The numbers chosen by him will display
his fine voice to the best advantage.

SCHUBERT STUDIO TEA.
IntvresitiiK MuslnJ Event of Yes
terday Aiternoun.
The music that soothes and the cup
that cheeis formed an attractive combi
nation at the studio tea given by the
Schubert club yesterday afternoon in the
lecture room of the Y. M. C. A. An in
formal but interesting musical pro
gramme was presented. The vocal solo
ists were Mrs. Will Dixon, Miss Helen
Trott and Mips Barker; the pianists, M-ss
McMillan and Miss O'msted. The tea
table was presided over by Mrs. Denis
Follett, Mrs. Charlt's O. Krieger ar.d Mrs.
John Knuppe. The following women as
sisted Mrs. Russell R. Dorr in receiving:
Mrs. H. R. Cunlgj Mrs. J. W. Thompson,
Mrs. A. C. Thompson, Mrs. W. B. D.xon,
Mrs. H. C. Mun:oa, Mrs. Down?, Mrs. T.
F. McCormlck, Mi.-s Shawe, Miss Zum
bach, Miss Hope, 7 Mkss Thompson, of
Hastings; Mi?s Gertrude Hall and Miss
Robinson. Mrs. F. L. Hoffman accom
panied the singers.
One of the most entertaining features
of the programme was the piano play
ing and three solos of Miss Edith McMil
lan, a pupil of Miss Richards, and an
honor to her. Miss McMillan has a splen
did technique and a rich and musical
touch. These natural gifts, combined
with an attractive stage presence, will
qualify her as a successful and interest
ing soloist, and the people of St. Paul will
hear great things of Miss McMillan later.

equipments in the shipment, and th- re- I
mainder Will go to fill out and thorough- i
ly equip the Second and Third. How- '
ever, wi h both tbb last mentioned, there
is but little need of any additional equip- i
ments. as they w*re well fitted out when j
they returned frcm the South. The m!l- !
ltary storekeeper will-have on his hands ;
quite a surplus. The shipment includes i
800 of the following items: New Spring- !

srajjii
SIX COMMISSIONERS MEET AND
ADOPT A NUMBER OF
CHAPTERS
COUNCIL NAMES CITY CLERK
One Important Section Provided for
the Appointing of the Corpora
tion Attorney by the Mayor
Biennially.
The chapter on city officers was taken
up by the charter commission last even
ing and adopted. The sextette present
weie Messrs. Flandrau, Albrecht, Nelson,
Fetter, Taylor and Smith. The new
features of the chapter are that the city
clerk is to be elected by the two branches
of the council acting jointly, Menially
an.'l is to hold office for two years com*
mem-ing with the second Tuesday In
June, li'o3, and each odd numbered year
thereafter. The one assistant clerk is to
be appointed by the city clerk and serve
at his pleasure. Commissioner Smith ob
jected to the changing the term of city
clerk from four to two years, but none
of the other members agreed with him.
The corporation attorney, under the
chapter, is to be appointed biennially by
the mayor, commencing with the second
Tuesday in June, 1901, and each odd num
bered year thereafter. The present in
cumbent is to serve until the term for
which he was elected expires. The at
torney may appoint three assistants to
hold ofiice during his pleasure. The at.
torney and his assistants are to givfc
their whole time to duties of the office.
The clerical force allowed is to bo such
as In the opinion of the council shall be
required.
Commissioner Taylor objected to the
clause giving the mayor the appointment
of the attorney. Commissioners Albrecht
and Fetter argued that an election by the
council tied the corporation to twenty
men and the plan of allowing the mayor
to appoint was preferable. Mr. Taylor
said experience had proved that when
appointments for a lucrative position
were made by the mayor as good ineii.
were not chosen as when there was no
salary attached to the appointment. He
in tended to make no reflections on the
present mayor, but. the point applied to
all mayors since he had taken an inter
tst i:i city affairs. The amendment of
Mr. Taylor to have the council elect was
lost.
The council is to advertise for bids
for doing the official printing on the
first Tuesday in December and the con
tract is to be let to the lowest responsi
ble bidder. The field is restricted to
daily newspapers published in the Eng
lish language.
The section providing for bonds of
city officers changes the present char
ter by reducing the bond of treasurer
frcm $500,000 to $200,000 and the bond of
the clerk of the municipal court from
$6,000 to $3,000. The premium on the
city treasurer's bond, if a surety bond
is to be paid by the city.
The chapter on contracts and con
tractors' bonds, was adopted. One of
the sections provides that when the
comptroller signs a contract he shall
deliver a certified copy of the contract to
the party or parties, and until the de
livery of the same it shall not be deemed
the contract of the city.
The chapter on salaries will be taken
up by the commission at the session
Monday night.

From Beneath the Family
lloof Tree.
Because his helpmeet talked too much
nlg-hts and disturbed his rest is one of
the principal reasons alleged by William
Carmody in an action commenced yes
terday In the district court for a divorce
from Bridg-et Carmody. The complaint
alleges cruel and inhuman treatment on
the part of the defendant. The Carmodys
were married Feb. 13, 1890, and have been
living together at 641 Columbia avenue.
Carmody is thirty-eight years old, and
he alleges that his wife is two years
older, besides being possessed of a bad
temper.
The plaintiff avers that Mrs. Carmody
■was accustomed, with harsh and unfeel
ing language, to make it warm for him,
and that, furthermore, she had sent to
Chicago and Invited a brother of the de
fendant to make them a visit. In doing so,
Carmody. says, the brother asserted him
self and drove the plaintiff from beneath
the family roof tree.
Furthermore, It is claimed, Mrs. Car
mody threatened the life of her spouse
with a bread knife, took his clothing from
him and finally, as the culmination of his
troubles, objected to her husband attend
ing a funeral. When he persisted in do
ing so, he says, she followed and smashed
a saloon window with a shovel, in an at
tempt to drive him away.

FELL FROM A TRAIN.
Brakeman Olson Want* Pay for tho
Lotttt of ii Foot.
Two cases, transferred from the district
court, were filed yesterday in the United
States circuit court. Both were against
railroad companies.
Hartvic R. Olson, a minor, by his
guardian ad litem, Martin Olson, sued the
Chicago Great Wetsern railroad to re
cover $30,000 for personal injuries. It Is
claimed that when a freight train on the
Red Wing & Mankato branch started out
on Nov. 29, 1899, one of the brakemen was
found to be missing. Young Olson, who
is nineteen j-ears old, was hired by the
conductor to act as brakeman. At Can
non Falls, while reaching for a step
which was not there, he fell off and re
ceived injuries that necessitated the am
putation of his left foot.
Nicholas Nitkowsky sues the Omaha
road to recover for personal injuries al
leged to have been received on Sept. 16,
1899. It was on the new line being built
near Mendota. The train started with a
jerk, and the plaintiff, who was em
ployed by the road, fell off and sustained
severe injuries.
CONTEST IS BITTER.
Fischer Divorce Case Still Holds the
Hoards In Judge B'rill'et Court.
The contested divorce case of Mary
Fischer against Edward Fischer was
yesterday afternoon submitted to Judge
Brill, in the district court, without argu
ment. The matter was taken under con
sideration by the court.
The third day of the trial was unevent
ful. Each side endeavored to prove its
allegations of cruel and inhuman treat
ment, but the testimony, for the most
part, was of no startling importance. It
only emphasized the usual marital dif
'flculties where the parties are of different
temperaments. v
GUILTY OF ASSAULT.

Allen io .I mine JagKard.
