PRIZE STORIES
Read at the Art League
Rooms Last Evening.
Mrs. B. F. Dillingham and George
H. De la Vergne the Winners.
Much Interest Exhibited.
Mrs. 13. F. Dillingham's story "Ka
lani," and George H. De la Vergne's
"The White Queen" were awarded first
and second prize, respectively, by the
judges appointed by the Literary Cir
cle of the Kilohana Art League to pass
judgment on the short stories sub
mitted for prizes offered by the league.
The award was made last evening in
the league hall on Hotel street in the
presence of the members and their
friends. Miss Edna Kelley read the
stories to the audience. Her well
known ability as a reader, and her
study of the stories given last evening,
enabled her to present them in a most
pleasing way with all their finer points
and important features brought well to
the fore.
There were four stories read in all,
including the prize winners. Their
presentation consumed an hour and a
half and furnished a delightful enter
tainment. The hall was well filled, as
is usual when league entertainments
are given. It was beautifully decora
ted for the occasion with ferns and
palms and handsome tapas. The storm
kept few people away.
The judges had of course come to an
agreement before the evening. The
decision was not announced until after
the stories were read. In order partly
to test the accuracy of their verdict,
and partly to add to the pleasures of
the occasion, the audience was asked
to vote upon the merits of the stories.
Attached to each program was a bal
lot on which was printed the titles of
the four stories.
At the conclusion of the reading each
one present was asked to number the
siories in order of preference. The bal
lets were then gathered and counted.
It was understood that the result would
not affect the verdict of the judges.
This had been reached after much
reading and a careful study of the 20
odd stories submitted in the competi
tion. The judges selected by the league
were Mr. J. F. Brown, Mrs. F. S.
Dodge, Rev. Dr. C. M. Hyde, Rev. Alex.
Mackintosh, Hon. H. M. Sewall, Miss
Mary Burbank, Mr. M. M. Hurd, Mr. M.
M. Scott, Miss Anna M. Paxis, Mrs. R.
F. Woodward.
Much interest has for many weeks
been centered in this prize competition.
The league has several branches. It
is not limited to the development of
pictorial art. The league has at all
times during its existence sought to
develop Art as exhibited in its vari
ous forms of expression. It has ac
complished this end in several lines.
It was known that there is much latent
talent in Honolulu among those who
had never to any great extent written
for publication. The offering of prizes
for short stories was decided upon to
encourage this talent. To secure stories
having local color it was stipulated
that the competition would be open
only to stories having the theme dis
tinctly Hawaiian. It was believed that
the imany intensely interesting historic
incidents of the Islands, and the na
tural topographical beauty of the
country would furnish a wide enough
range of subjects to make the contest
interesting.
The stories submitted were all care
fully written and well developed. The
league has been gratified at the re
sponse. It is proposed to publish the
prize stories as it is believed the public
will be interested in them.
Must Pay the Penalty.
All petitions for new trials and par
dons having been denied, the two Jap
anese from Maui under sentence of
death in Oahu prison will be hanged
this forenoon. In high police circles
unusual interest attaches to the double
execution. Only physicians and news
paper representatives will be admitted.
Yoshida killed the wife of a Japanese
after he had failed in efforts to make
the woman leave her husband, and had
a
slight quarrel with her.
Sagata killed his wife and child.
About the only reason advanced for
this was that he hated the woman and
baby.
I have been afflicted with rheuma
tism for fourteen years and nothing
seemed to give any relief. I was able
to be around all the time, but constant
ly suffering. I had tried everything I
could hear of and at last was told to
try Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which
did, and was immediately relieved
and in a short time cured. I am happy
to say that it has not since returned.

Thousands of Rare Blossoms at
the Whitehouse Dinner.
The dinner given at the White House
in honor of President and Mrs. Dole,
says an exchange, broke the record for
the number of guests and elaborateness
of the dec-orations. All the flowers
came from the White House conserva
tory. If they had been furnished by a
private florist, they would have cost
thousands of dollars. In the east room
there were 2,000 carnations, 5,000
sprigs of azaleas, 2,400 spikes of Ro
an hyacinths, 200 spikes of Dutch hya
cinths, 2,100 violets, 400 roses, 400 tu
lips, 400 nun flowers, 500 ferns, more
than a mile of garlands of smilax, 100
large palms and 1,000 blooming plants
in pots.
Upon the dinner table there wrere
1,005 rare orchids, COO lilliesof the
valley, 100 spikes of Dutch hyacinths,
100 pots of Chinese primroses, 300 pots
of maidenhair ferns, 25 of farleyense
and 175 strings of smilax. The table
was decorated by Mr. Pfister, the head
gardener of the White House conserva
tory, while the adornments of the east
room were designed and executed by
Mr. Brown, the head gardener of the
public propagating grounds, who has
decorated the east room on every oc
casion of ceremony for 27 years ever
since the marriage of Nellie Grant.
A Rain Wall.
It was stated in this paper on Mon
day last that on the Saturday before
there had been one of the sharpest
tropical showers ever seen here and
that it was a local rainfall. In the
makai direction the rain ceased on the
Esplanade. Will Harris of Lewers &
Cooke was at the Myrtle boat house
during the downpour. There was not
a drop of rain falling there and he
did not come into the flood until al
most :U of the Kakaako district, com
ing u. .own. The wall was definite as
a stone wall. From the boat .house
during the storm there was no sight of
the Executive building or much of the
town. From the waterfront the show
er was like a heavy mist or fog.
Supreme Court.
This was the record in the Supreme
Court yesterday: Republic vs. Kanalo;
argued and submitted. Spooner vs.
Rice; motion to quash argued and sub
mitted. Paris vs. Kealoha; argument
partly heard.

What
Is the
Meaning;
Of a
Guarantee
O
to m
9 wra
It is confidence in the article you
sell, sufficient to warrant you to
stand by it under all circumstances.
That's the confidence we have in
our goods, and that's why we are
not afraid to stand by them, not
only before, but after they are sold.
All other goods perish, or are con
sumed in a short time and the
dealers' responsibility soon ceases,
but a choice piece of Jewelry or
Silverware lasts forever, and the
Jewelers' responsibility with it.
It is to your advantage to pur
chase such, where the guarantee is
your safeguard, where great distance
does not make the guarantee value
less to you, and where it is the
honest endeavor to give satisfaction
in every instance.

tages not to be found elsewhere in
