LA FAYETTE DAY
Movement Here to Assist the Mon

YORKTOVfl ANNIVERSARY DATE
October 19-Programs of Exercises.
Relation of Historical Events.
Island Board Member.
The Department of Education of Ha
waii will require that October 19, the
anniversary of the fall of Yorktown, be
observed in all the public schools as
"La Fayette day." At that time con
tributions will be received from the
school children all over America for
the purpose of erecting a suitable mo
nument in Paris to the distinguished
French officer who fought for the free
dom of the Colonies in the Revolution
This statement of the matter has been
furnished the Advertiser by Mr.
Townsend, who has been made a mem
ber of the Advisory board of the La
Fayette Memorial Committee:
A Special Commission has been
formed by the Commissioner-General of
the United States to the Paris Exposi
tion for the purpose of securing by
popular contribution funds to erect a
suitable monument to General La Fay
ette, whose remains now lie in a prac
tically unmarked grave in the Petit
Picpu Cemetery of Paris. It is now
planned that the monument be built in
time for unveiling and dedication on
United States Day, the Fourth of July,
1900, at the Paris Exposition, thus
making the day a most conspicuous one
both for America and for France. No
other nation on earth has such an op
portunity. It is proposed that the schools be
utilized as the agency for reaching the
people and procuring contributions.
The principals and teachers of all
schools, both public and private, are
therefore most urgently requested to
recognize October 19, the anniversary
of the culmination of La Fayette's ser
vices to America in the fall of York
town, as La Fayette Day, and that
they devote a part of the day to a re
lation of historic events pertaining to
La Fayette and the early days of the
Republic. In the higher grades an ap
propriate program of exercises is sug
gested, to which a small admission fee
should be charged, or where a collec
tion should be made in the discretion
of the teacher the proceeds to be turn
ed over to the La Fayette Memorial
Commission. Contributions of from
one to ten cents each should be secur
ed from as many pupils and friends
of pupils as'possible, to the end that
Hawaii may show a general and gen
erous interest in this historical monu
ment and what it represents.
Money will be received and forward-:
ed by Mr. Townsend.

High Chiefess Dead.
The Mauna Loa yesterday brought
news of the death of Mrs. Sarah
Thompson, nee Sarah Mauakaa, which
occurred in Kau last Saturday morn
ing. The funeral took place Sunday
afternoon. It was attended by people
from all over the district and was the
most pretentious affair of the sorf seen
in that neighborhood in a long while.
Sarah Martin, as she was called by
English-speaking people here, was the
highest chiefess of Kau. She was well
known and well liked. She was a young
woman and only a few years ago mar
ried Charles Thompson, a luna of Kau.
Deceased was a sister of Mrs. Wm.
Smithies. Pneumonia was the cau?e of
death.

FIRE AT .WAIMANALO.
Burning Trash Pile Fills City With
Charred Fragments.
All of yesterday, from early morn
ing, there was considerable uneasi
ness all over town on account of indi
cations of a big fire not fa.r away.
Pieces of charred sticks and leaves
were falling all over the city. The
Government grounds and open streets
were covered with the stuff. Alout
noon the sun-light became yellow in
town, due to the smoke in the heavens.
This was generally noted and com
mented upon.
In the morning the report was that
Tantalus forest was afire. This proved a
mistake. Later the blaze was located at
Waimanalo plantation. It was an im
mense pile of trash. The heat forced
the light charred stuff high in the air
and the wind being favorable it was
brought over the mountains upon the
city.
JMR. MORSE SINGS.
The Noted Tenor Delights an Au
dience of Vocalists.
Sydney H. Morse, the noted tenor of
the East, entertained forty-three of the
leading musicians of the city at Pro
gress Han yesteraay arternocn in a
short select program of popular bal-
ads. The pieces were: "Where'er You
Walk," "My Sweetheart When a Boy,"
The Beggar Maid," "Echo" and
"Waiting." The least that can be said
is that Mr. Morse pleased immensely
all present. He has a remarkably clear
and agreeable voice. There were those
present who pronounced him the best
tenor they had ever heard, which
means a great deal. A most gratirying
thing in connection with Mr. Morss
singing is the absence of mannerism.
Mr. Morse will give his first public
concert on Monday evening of next
week in Progress Hall. Mrs. Wood
ward and a number of other local mu
sicians will assist in the program.
Reception Invitation.
Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Damon present
their compliments to the ladies and
gentlemen of Honolulu, and cordially
invite them to an entertainment to be

DROUGHT AND A STRIKE
Wrecking of Railway Trains Common-Prince
of Wales Rebels.
Duke of Connaught.
LONDON, Sept. 17. The drought
continues throughout the greater part
of Great Britain, though a temporary
fall in the barometer early in the week
raised hopes which were doomed to
disappointment. The temperature has
again risen and London continues
bathed in sunshine.
The outcry in the East End of Lon
don, where the supply of water has
been reduced to dangerous limits, is
taking the form of influential public
meetings, which violently denounce the
East End Water Company for neglect
ing to take proper measures to assure
a supply of water, and call for muni
cipal control of the water works.
In the meanwhile sanitary conditions
are so bad in some districts that there
is serious fear of epidemic.
The North of London is also suffer
ing undeserved martj'rdom in the shape
of a street car famine, due to a strike
of the hostlers and the consequent dis
missal of a couple of agitators. The
many thousands of business people
who rely upon cheap conveyance to the
city have been seriously inconvenien
ced by the sudden stoppage of traffic,
which occurred on Wednesday last.
Public sympathy inclines to the side
of the company, which has taken the
bull by the horns and dismissed all the
strikers, engaging outsiders to take
their places.
The whole of Great Britain has been
startled by an epidemic of railroad out
rages. On the Northwestern and Mid
land railroads, in the neighborhood of
Northampton, there have been several
attempts to wreck passenger trains.
Formidable obstructions were laid
across the track and one express train
had a most narrow escape from disas
ter. It plowed through a veritable
barricade, but did not leave the rails.
The most alarming feature of the out
rage is the fact that the police have
no't been able to obtain the slightest
clew to the perpetrators, though a
hundred detectives have been scouring
the district. Consequently a panic
prevails. One theory is that the crimes
are work of a band of train-wreckers
ooking for plunder and emulating the
Far West hold-ups.
After passing eight weeks in an in
valid's, chair, the Prince of Wales this
week, for the first time, was able to
walk a few paces with the aid of a
stick. He traveled to Balmoral from
lis yacht at Portsmouth. Private let-
ers declare that the Prince lately has
jeen very irritable at tne enrorceci re
straint, and that. he has even declared
hat a permanent limp would be a
cheap penalty to pay for release from
lis floating prison. It is added that
he attending physicians finally yield
ed and allowed the Prince to journey
o Scotland in order to appease their
atient and also to arrest the strong
stimulus which rest and sea air appe
tite have given to his increasing stout
ness. The heir apparent will still con
tinue to wear for many weeks to come
the apparatus which has been fitted to
lis knee.
The Duke of Connaught has been the
hero of the French army maneuvers
around Mouline, which he attended as
President Faure's chief guest. He first
distinguished himself by a splendid dis
play of horsemanship before the
French staff, when a borrowed horse,
startled by the firing, tried to bolt,
reared and fell, the Duke skilfully dis
engaging himself unhurt.
On Account of Dreyfus.
PARIS, Sept. 17. Gen. Zurliuden,
the Minister of War, has tendered his
resignation.
Gen. Zurlinden sent his resignation
in writing to Premier Brisson, as fol
lows:
"I have the honor to beg yon to re
reive mv resignation as Minister of
I War. An exhaustive study of the pa-
!ps in the Dreyfus case has convinced
me too fully of his guilt for me to ac
cept, as the head of the army, any oth
or solution than that of the mainten
ance of the judgment in its entirety.
The Kickapoos.
The Kickapoos have reached town
and will put on a series of vaudeville
entertainments at the corner of Bere-
tania and Alakea streets. Every Am-
' erican knows what these shows are. It
is a frve program and Indian medicines
are sold. The entertainments will be
gin this evening and will continue
every night. Matinees wilt be given,
at 3 o'clock every afternoon.
.Must "Rustle" for Money.
It has been discovered that through
a clerical error the appropriation item
of $10,000 for Industrial School pur
poses, out of which the Kauai land late
ly mentioned was to be purchased, un
fortunately was "omitted from the act
as finally passed in the legislature and
approved by President Dole. This was
found out only yesterday. Minister
Cooper, for the Commissioners of Ed
ucation, had closed for the site, build
ings, etc., at Nawiliwili. Kauai, for the,
sum of $3"00 and will now be compelled
to ask the Council of State for th-o
money. He will be able to make to
the Council such representations as
will in all probability warrant the "ex
traordinary" appropriation. Tho prop
erty was secured at a bargain, other
purchasers of land offering respective
ly $3,000 and $10,000 for it when they
came to know it was upon the market.

she will relieve the Philadelphia, which
will sail for San Francisco on Friday,
taking Admiral Miller along. Com
modore Kautz will succeed to command
of the Pacific squadron.

Trouble for a Man Who Stole a
t Colonel's Supper.
A very f-:ad trick, or joke, as the case
may be, was perpetrated on Col. Bar
ber last Sunday night. While waiting
in his parlor at Camp McKinley for his.
dinner bell, some one entered the din
ing room and cleared the table. From,
the Colonel's leg of mutton down to
the cup of tea, everything was stolen.
The steward saw a soldier go through
a window with the booty. Col. Barber,
of course, was terribly mad. He called
all the men on passes up in line and
had the steward identify the man who
had stolen the dinner. The soldier is
now in prison. His companions say
the escapade was a joke on the Colonel.
But the head of the camp cannot and
will not see it that way.
