TO COME
Would Honor the Great
sWriter as Guest of
the Territory.
, Mark Twain may shortly be given
an invitation to become the guest of
the people of the Hawaiian Islands.
. - The suggestion comes from the Ha
waii Promotion Committee and will be
presented to the trustees of the Cham
ber of Commerce by a representative
of the promotion bureau for early
action. The Promotion Committee has
faith in the mercantile organization
that the suggestion will meet with
unanimous favor and that the invita
tion will be forwarded to the humor
ist at no distant day.
E. I. Spalding referred to Mark
Twain as a man whose writings on
Hawaii had been widely read and the
further fact that these same writings
are being used to the best advantage
today by the Promotion Committee in

out into the Pacific and take in the
JIawaiian Islands.
The Promotion Committee believes
that Mark Twain wll feel that he
should revisit Hawaii. It was just
after hi3 experiences In the Nevada
mining camps that he came to Hawaii,
and stored up'a vast amount of infor
mation concerning the islands which
. he placed before the world clothed in
his. inimitable humor. He saw humor
.in everything, but -he lapsed at times
into prose and his '"prose poem" - on
Hawaii is now widely used in promo
tion literatures as-One of the finest
and most beautiful descriptions ever
penned.
PROMOTION ITEMS.
' Mr. Spalding .stated that Mr. C. A.
Brown had told him of one sport which
-could well be developed Into a tourist
attraction. This is sea-fishing at Wa
. ialua, or off the Haleiwa Hotel shore.
He had gone out fishing in a Hawaiian j
-canoe and with rod and line had se
cured large catches. This form of
sport had so attracted him that he
went back again yesterday. With an
outrigger canoe, a couple of Hawaiians
.to manage the boat, with rods and
lines, nets, etc., a tourist would find
fun', in. the waters off Haleiwa that
would repay him well.
The committee is putting consider
able stress on the water carnival to
be held on the night of June 11, Ka-
mehameha Day. The members of the
crews of the various yachts which are
expected here lh the fleet participating
in the transpacific yacht race will be
on hand and the water carnival is to
be one of the principal entertainments
planned in their honor. The Promotion
Committee will publish announcements
of the carnival on the Coast. The
boat clubs are progressing with the
program and good aquatic sports are
promised.

scenes for stereopticon use.
Mrs. Weatherred said that there was

the cause of scores of Oregonians and

Of course nobody talked pontics when
Supervisors Jack Lucas and Ned
Adams and Road Supervisor Sam
Johnson foregathered in the office of
the Sheriff of Oahu with that official.
Not on your life. There isn't a man
in that whole bunch who would talk
politics if he were paid to do it.
But, just the same, the little Lane
Sunday school class has begun to feel
as though somebody had hit it a blow
over the solar plexus ever since that
meeting, which was not at all political
in its significance, took place. Of
course, the Supervisors only went to
see the Sheriff "of Oahu about those
charges against a down-country Dep
uty, Sheriff. Of course!
And. of Course, Sam Johnson only
went alonr to see that his distinguish
ed superiors in office, and the dis
tinguished Sheriff of Oahu had a
smooth road to travel over.
Of course, of course. Sam is a Road
Supervisor, as everybody knows.
But, that meeting has left the little
Lane fellows a ' bit groggy.- all the
same. For they were 'organized in the
Brown interest, along with some other
interests that were not so openly ad
vanced, and they set the bad Mr. Achi
up as a scarecrow for themselves be
cause that wicked one was so rampant
ly opposed fo Brown in the last county
election. That was th? whole sum a;;d
substance of his sinning save that he
is also credited with the defeat of
Brother Jim Quinn tor Supervisor. And
Brother Jim"s own tongue had as much
to do with that as ever the Civic -Federation
-.r Achi did. Achi will admit
it himself, and so will the Civic Fed
eration. NOBODY TAKLED POLITICS.
Nobody talked politics when Super-

Instruction in the English language
is one of the accomplishments of which
the Argentine government can boast
of in its navy, and the results may be
observed aboard the Argentine tranhig
ship Presidente Sarmiento, now in Ho
nolulu harbor. Almost every officer on
the vessel speaks English fluently. The
cadets are also rapidly mastering the
language. In fact, some of the officers
speak with so little accent that they
would hardly be taken for Latins.
Much of their fluency in Anglo
Saxon is due to the Professor of Eng
lish, Mr. Tomas C. Dennehy, a tall.
imposing man of florid complexion,
looking like a, typical well-to-do, jolly
New Yorker of Irish descent. That he

is an Argentine would be scarcely be
lieved did he not confirm this fact.
Mr. Dennehy's mother was of Argen
tine birth, while his father was Irish.
He was educated in Epgland, but his
English is Americanized and he likes
the colloquialisms of the American
cities. All matters of linguistic red
tape are referred to Mr. Dennehy and
he cuts it to suit. Matters of naviga
tion which need to be translated from
Spanish into English and vice versa
are referred to him. The fact that the
natty-looking cadets have made so
favorable an impression on the young
ladies of Honolulu and the transport
Sherman, gives credit to Mr. Dennehy's
keen insight into the language of the
social circle.
The professor of English is a great
admirer of Argentina. "I And that

Two drinking fountains to be erected
the memory of Mrs. Bingham and
Lizzie Bingham of missionary fame in
the Hawaiian' Islands are to be estab
lished by the Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union. f One will be in the
vicinity of theY, M. C. A., and the
other near.or at the Sailor's Home on
lower Richards street. In her will
Mrs. Bingham left $100 for some such
purpose and Lizzie Bingham $24.
Should there be need for more funds
to carry out this project Mrs. Coan,
sister of Rev. Hiram Bingham will
provide $20 additional.
The drinking-fountain question was
discussed at length at yesterday's
meeting of the W. C. T. U., at Central
Union church. ' Mrs. Carpenter, a com
mittee of one, appointed to interview
L. E. Pinkham, president of the Board
of Health on the subject, stated that
she and Mr. Pinkham had gone over
the matter. He approved of a design,
similar to that established at the Nor
mal School, and asked that the W. C
T. U., present a formal application in
writine to the Board of Health for
consideration. Mrs. Carpenter said she
had seen the fountain at the Normal
School. It consisted of a trougri. or
basin. A pipe extended up through the
bottom and a stream of water constant
Iy played from this, pouring into the
basin and over its sides. No cups are
provided and those who drink must
do so by leaning over to the trough.
The supply comes swiftly and the wat
er is drained off the trough continual
ly: This is deemed one of the most
sanitary methods of giving drinking
water to people in general.
Mrs; Whitney, president of the W.
C. T. IT., stated that such a fountain
was the one she had in mind. Of course.
; there were decided objections to drink
ing cups attached to fountains in Ho
nolulu, and she. thought the design
spoken of was about right. She said
it was reported from the Y. M. C. A.,
that about 400 people per day "call there
for drinking water! and a fountain
erected in that vicinity would be a
boon. Mrs. Bray stated that a foun
tain at or near the Sailor's Home
would provide comfort to a large num
ber of people, and especially during the
times when warships and transports
were in port. One a vote it was de
cided that two fountains be provided.
They will be suitably inscribed and W.
C. T. IT. 'will be given prominence
thereon.
Mrs. Whitney then read two papers
on subjects of local interest in which
the W. C. T. IT., is vitally interested.
They were as follows:

option on' one- hand and high iiceiibe
