The cornet solo and piano se lections were also very well rendered. Following are some brief extracts from Col. Wihyte's interesting lecture: Placer mining, the uncovering and separating from gravel by wash of water tne nuggets and practices of gold milled by grind of glacier and torrent, is the more enticing and popular kind of mining because it Is that kind In which the poor man may become sud denly enriched. And eo a Utile les han two years ago when the Klondike pvrr brolre out. there was such a mad nioh for gold from all quarters of the globe as is without a parallel in the 'history of the world.

Col. Whyto told a sad story of two brovhera who worked for months in the struggle for wealth. At last fortune smiled. They were rich men. iJut they had no sooner returned to Dawson City than the dread typhoid was upon them and death came soon to both The largest cariboo ever killed in those regions. The Cariboo go scuth in spring to the coast in droves of thousands, returning to the interior In winter. One dressed weighs from 300 to 400 pounds and its flesh is Juicy and tender with a flavor resembling that of deer. Many views of claims on the famous Bonanza creek - were shown and Col. Whyte told many interesting incidents of jthe great struggle. How men about to give up became wealthy In a day and how men did give up only to see their claims turn out fabulously rich when it was too late. He delineated tho sufferings, the hardships endured, and tho vice and the valor of tne men. In conclusion he said: "Tho time hast not yet come for writing the history of the mad, reck less rush to t.e Klondike. Nor can it until his winter's snows give up their treasures,, their disappointments and their dead. It will bo a story where the noblest human virtues touch el bows with the vltost Qiuman vices. H will be a story in which tragedy pre dominates and which has cost more life and brought more sorrow to Am erican homes than the war with Spain." Hand Concert. This is the program Capt.

L A. Thurston, who is quite heavily interested in the new Kihel plantation, returned on Saturday from a visit to the Maul estate of the company. De velopment of the water Is progressing in a most satisfactory manner. The second large pump is at work, yet the greatest difficulty is encountered In keeping the shaft or tunnel in such condition that the men may work in the drifts. W. F. Pogue, the manager, is showing commendable and effective energy in preparing for the planting of cane. on certain mars-h lands near Honolulu. The sewerage of Front utrcet also came in for discussion. There 4s $IOo available for sewcrag? purposes and though this cannot ho expected to go very far. It can either be applied to fur nish a complete system for a portion of Front street, which will be connected with the Walanuenue street sewer, or can le used to furnish a more or less complete surface drainage for th whole of Front street. Mr. Smith referred to tbc gubage so generally found In the rear of business nnd dwelling houses, and this not alone among the Portuguese and Aslatlrs. but in the nelghliorhood of those supposed to know better. He Is Incline ! to think that efforts on the part of Hiloites which would result in the removal of such garbage would have a better efleci on public health than even the drain age of the Walolama pond or the building of the Front street sewerage. Dr. Uusel wanted to discuss the Portuguese worm, but Mr. Smith re fused to consider the animal. He said subsequently that the trouble with Hlio people generally was that they had worms, which accounted for a good deal of thetr "kicking. The matter of widening and extend ing Front ami Shlpman streets, leading to the new fish market, was mentioned, for the reason that otherwise the new market would not be extensively pat ronized and consequently the present fish stand nuisance would be continued on Front street. Mr. Smith said this should certainly be done, and If a peti tion were sent to the Minister o the Interior, for a "portion of the appro priation passed by the last legislature for ssreet widening and extension, it would probably bo granted. op Complete Assortment of Dry Goods, Fiench, German, Enplish and American.
