Recently I involved myself in an altercation with an esteemed Teu tonic friend on th comparative mer its of French and German guns as exemplified in the. Balkan-Turkish war. The gentleman whom I irritat- ed into a state approaching tPinpor I ary rabies has long ago adopted the ! i'cited States as his foster-mother, j but he still maintains that the Krupp I runs lead the world. I will confess that I know no more about gunnery than about archery or embroidery, but I had happened on an article in a New York paper which criticised the Turkish-adapted Ger man military system severely and ended with the statement that the system had proved itself as inferior to the French system of the Bulga rian army as the Krupp's had proved inferior to the French Schneider Creusots. Upon this meager founda tion I built a fabric of fancy that sooiv reduced, my worthy opponent almost to tears. He protested vehemently vociferously, surlily and finally' belli cosely that the system and the guns were al! right they must be all right, because they came from Germany and that all the trouble has been in the use of them by the Turks. The debate waxed warm and I am afraid that my friend did not recover his equilibrium even after I gave up the attempt to tfut-argue him and moved on to other and less easy conquests of the sense of humor. Stories of Bluff doctor Hutchinson. Among the stories told about Dr. Hutchinson, the man who put Rev. Mr, Mason of New. Zealand on to water divining, I remember two that were told me by a kamaaina who ha3 passed away. Dr. Hutchinson thought it unwise on the part of Bishop Staley to pro ceed with the organization of the Anglican church, ia Hawaii, and when Mr, Staley was leaving for England to, seek , ducats . and dedication the doctor advised him not to come back. But he did come back after a few nioons and as he was coming dowp the gangway his eye lighted, on h!3 bluff old English friend. "Oh; how s you do, Doctor Hut chinson," the prelate gurgled, extend ing, his flipper. ' , "'ou have the advantage, of me," freezingly returned the loctor as he tacked a pace. , "Why, Doctor Hutchinson, you know me, surelyI'm ' Bisnop Staley, just returning from England." ' "Huh, Bishop Staley I told you not to came back," growled the doc.to as he turned away. The Price Speaking of the Maud Powell con cert, the diversity of opinions as to her playing are numerous. There are some who aver that she is perfect, others who could not see but. a few elements of greatness in her playing, others who give her. credit for be ing a marvelous technician hut . who found no "soul" in her admittedly skilful bowing, and so on. Of course, Madame Powell came here with a hakrof greatness around her, undoubtedly one of the best-advertised oi living musicians, probably the best-advertised American music ian. And to some minds any criticism of her is sacrilege. To some . she is above criticism. Not, however, to many others who were disappointed in her first concert. Frankly speaking, she was not. at her best, and those who know Maud Powell at her best, as well as those who know. music at its best, know that Madame Powell A Sign of While our worthy Outdoor Circle of, the KUohana Club is endeavor ing to transform the Palace square neighborhood into something prm and adornment, 1 wish they would take up with Will Adams, the handsome lessee of the Hawaiian j Opera House, the matter of the big electric sign that shines forth above the doorway whenever the house opens for an attraction. For many a weary day and night, through storm and sunshine and rain and drought and everything but frost, snow and icicles, this sign has an nounced to the world in foot-high let ters, "Opert House Tonight" Appei enily the fact of the structure itself When Egpyt Needed From a manuscript recently ob tained by the University of Pennsyl vania from Theadelphia. a small city in Egypt, it would appear that hign cost of living of food nd excessive freight rates were grievances in that country 1S00 years ago. The manu script is the report of a sitologus. or collector of revenue, and it men lions a complaint by a taxpayer, an ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF BRIDGE-WORKER Fiank 1.

The field guns used by all the allies, with the exception of Montenegro, are the French Schneider-Creusots. while the Turkish guns are the German Krupps. This war is the first in which modern quick-firing guns have been used by both sides; and France is jubilant that the type of guns used by her own army has apparently proved su perior to those of the Germans. "The breech of the Creusot gun opens at the back like a door, being hinged on one side. The Krupp gun. on the other hand, has a breech open ed and closed by a wtdge much re sembling a bolt. The body of the gun at the b ise is slotted out at right angles to the bore, and the bolt or breechblock moves in tlm slot, and has a portion cut away to correspond witk the bore of the gun, the shell be ing pushed through this opening past thewedge, which is then driven home." John M. Kapena, who was minister of finance in one of th latest Gibson cabinets, was among the most highly polished natives ever 6een in public life. He dressed well and he could express, himself in excellent English, but according to this story he was somewhat inpecunious in Dr. Hutch- J insou's time. At all events it is re lated, that he borrowed a few simole-, ons from his English friend, then minister of the interior. Dr. Hutch inson had been, on an official visit to one of the other islands and was just etepping- upon .the wharf when he was effusively ' greeted by Mr. Kapena, in spick and span raiment with a rose in his coat lapel. "Good morning, Dr. Hutchinson. How do you do, Dr. Hutchinson?" the emminent Hawaiian warbled. "Good morning. Dr. Hutchinson, be d-m! How do "you do Dr. Hutchin son, be dd!" roared 7ack the iras cible statesman, who perhaps had passed a bad night . in the channel, bringing, up awong TTTaer things some J "touching" recollections. of Success. either underestimated, her audience on the first night or could not reach her marvelous ."heights.. At the sec ond concert, she responded nobly to that strange stimulus which touches the musician, the painter, the poet, the sculptor. And the last concert was much the better of the two. Perhaps Ihe clue to Madame Powell's playing todey is found in the fact that she is forty-five years old, that she' has gone through twenty seven years of work in public, that her mastery of the violin has been achieved by more than three decades of incessant toil. She has won her present h?gh place in the musical world by patience and industry tha' have had few equals in musical his tory. There never lived a musician in whom the keen edge of spontaneity and inspiration is not dulled at times by overwork and the accumulated stxain of years of public perform ahce. the Times. being in that sacred spot at that ap pointed time is more notable than the announcement of the celebrities to appear therein. On the night of the Maud Powell concert, two tourists, one a beautifully-gowned woman, the other a well groomed man, sat in front of me. I heard the woman say: "It must be a great thing to have Maud Powell play in Honolulu." "Yes," rejoined the man, "but did you notice the rube sign above the door? It reminds me of Bird Center or New Rochelle." It is a "rube sign." when you stop to think about it. and I commend a change to the attention of those in search of a city dignified as well as a city beautiful.
