In New York the subject of "Rapid
Transit" is just now the all-absorbing
topic. How to enable uptown residents
80 reach the business portion of the city
within the shortest space of time and at
the least cost is matter of great con-
Germ to uptown property holders, who
appreciate the Importance of securing
to the island as much as possible of the
increasing population instead Of allow
Ing it to 60 to Long Island and New Jer-
sey. 1t is conceded that next to New
York Cincinnati is the most densely
populated city in the country, and, not
withstanding this, the facts cleaned by
STAR reporters some months ago showed
that fully hundred thousand Cincin.
natiaus have their homes in the suburbs.
As we are so hemmed In by the hills as
to have really no "up-town," we want
the best facilities for reaching our sub.
urbs that can be had. In order to guard
against the the tenementhouse system
as it exists in Eastern cities we must
enable our people to reach their suburban
homes with all possibly facility. There

is much that they have to contend with
in this particular that ought not to be
endured longer than is absolutely neces-
.sary. Our ferryboats should be kept in
complete order, properly inspected
and required to run regularly and
ON fixed time. When they fail to do this
it is the duty of the authorities from
whom the right of terry is derived to see
that they are properly dealt with for
violation of the stipulations of their
grant. Street-car lines should be kept
in good condition, 80 that passenger
can feel on entering one that ho has
something like a fair probability Of
reaching his destination within a reason
able time.. If they do not do this there
is or should be a proper remedy against
them. Enough cars ought to be kept on
the road to afford reasonable accommo-
dation, and the necessary care used to
see that they run on time. Many OF the
street railroads anG ferries are under
the control of neighboring municipal
governments, and the Importance Of
properly looking aftor this matter is just
as important to them as tits to Cincin-
natl. The great desideratum in select
ing residence out of the city is to find the
place most easy and convenient of ac-
cess. If person in search of home
has to sit half hour on terryboat
waiting for the machinery to be repaired,
or is expected to get out every five hun
dred yards to help put street-car on
the track, he is very likely to return
without making purchase. Every man
who owns property is interested in these
matters, whether he travels on public
conveyances or not.

kalnkauA at u0mn.


A Honolulu correspondent thus de-
scribes the ball given King kaiakaua
after his arrival at home:
The Parliament building, from its size
and elegance, was selected as most suit
able for 80 extensive an affair, and mag
nincent as is the structure Of itself, the
beautiful decorations added tentold to
it's original imposing appearance. The
exterior was brilliantly illuminated, not
only by the glowing lights from within,
but by festoons Of Chinese lanterns
ing from the lofty clock tower, on the
front of which, in coloreed letter, blazed
the word "kalakaua," surmounted
by q crown. Still more elaborate
Illumination was contemplated, but on
account OF the strong trade winds
the idea was abandoned. A double row
OF torches led from the wide gates to the
still wider portal, to enter which was
like stepping into some OF the enchanted
castles OF a fairy tale. Ranged along
wide corridors were stands OF flowers.
The Legislative Hall, all apartment OF
noble proportions, 12O feet long and 40
wide, was most tastetully decorated
with evergreens, ferns and tioWers-hags
being used only to drape the gallery
erected for the musicians. On the wall
hung fine collection OF portraits, in
cluuiug those of Hawaiian sOyereigns
from the days OF Kamehameha l. the
conqueror, to the present time, and also
many OF European rulers and statesmen.
The portrait Of the present King is u
magnificent specimen OF photography. 1t

| presented to His Majesty. AT the east
end OF the room, upon slightly raised

some remarkable reu and yellow coats
the an ncient badge or chietship, and ex.
ceedingly rare nowadays from the fact
that the nigh chiefs were always buried
in them, and as the particular birds
from whose plumage alone they are
made have become nearly extinct they
| cannot be replaced.
| At nine O'clock precisely the royal
party entered the room, preceded by the
seven chiefs next In rank alter His Ma
jesty, each wearing his small feather
cape and carrying a :'kahili," the Ha.
waiian emblem of royalty.
The band played the national hymn
something like "God Save the Queen
only finer.
The company then advanced and sa
luted their Majesties, a ceremony which
lasted more than an hour.
At ten O'Clock dancing commenced
The ball opened with royal quadrille

The dart OF Love was feathered hrst

He missed the maid so oft tits said
His aim became untrue;
And Beauty laughed rs the last shaft

"Forbear." cried she, "to shoot at me,
You little spiteful thing!
The feather on your shaft scorn
When plucked from Folly's wing"
But Cupid soon fresh arrows found,
And fitted to his string;
And each new shaft he feathered from
His own bright glossy wing! ~
He shot until no plume was LETT

usual rustling Of silk and soft floating of
tarleton and lace to the evident satlsfac-
tion and indisputable becomingness of
their tair wearers. The Queen and prin-
cesses were distinguished in addition 80
the elegance of their attire by broad
sashes of scarlet worn transversely
across the breast.
The supper-room was thrown open at
twelve O'Clock. The King and other
way, followed by large number OF dis
tinguished guests. Here everything
which could please the eye or tempt the
most fastidiOus palate was displayed IN
profusion. The flowers and fruits, which
in our cold climate are so costly and
hard to be obtained, were heaped In
massy pyramids, any. one of which
would establish the fortune of New
York conlectioner. Delicious strains of
music, softened Dy distance to a dreamy
indistinotness, floated over all, adding a
refinement OF relish to the delicalely
tempting viands.
Tie festivities were kept up till . late
hour. At two O'Clock the King, with his
retinue, withdrew, followed within an
nour by majority OF the dancers. A

| The most curious feature of the enter
tainment was the diversity of race and
nation represented. Honolulu of, itself
is most cosmopolitan-posses resi-
dents from all parts of the civilized
world. On this occasion the invitations
were OF necessity very general and also
very generally accepted. English,
French, iltaiians, Russians, Prusslans,
Poles, Norwegians, Swedes-so much for

BOSTON has caught the Ohio spelling
fever. The Traveller, of that city, says
that the spelling contests speedily take
the conceit out of those who boasted of
the accuracy of their orthography. There
is great difference between writing, in
letters or articles for the press, every
word accurately, and standing up in a
class and spelling from an announcement
of the words by another. In the former
case there is more time for deliberation,
more than all, the eye does more than
the tongue and memory in spelling.
Some writer's will not undertake to spell
q difficult word when asked until after
having written it. In taking the conceit
out OF persons, it is good thing to follow
the main spelling with class made
up of the best and poorest spoilers in the
first class. 1t takes the conceit out of
them and relieves those who fell early in
the fight from their Ichagrin and humili-
alton. We have seen this tried. The
victor of the first class dropped on the
first word in the second trial, and she
who had fallen early in the first conflict
was the victor in the second. The sec
ond trial levels men and women amaz-
ingly. A third class, made UP of those
who passed for the poorest spoilers on
the first trial, will often be found to ex-
Gel either of the other classes. We hope
the spelling class will become perma-
nent institution. Nothing contributes
ment as an accurate and thorough
knowledge Of language.
