that II he (Olivep was referring to paragraph in
one OF the morning papers, he lthe court would
say that he is the proper person to issue warrants
In this court, and Mr.. Bliss had right to consult
him about the issuing OF the warrants
Mr. Oliver replied that he wished to call the
courts attention TO the fact that Mr. Bliss has these
warrants issued and then fails to put in an appear
ance and only sends memoranda as to what bail
should be received Mr.. DO1onue Was I'm danger of
losing his situation I'm consequence OF being ar
rested, and he made this appeal for humanity's

A SINGULAR accident occurred to

A SINGULAR accident occurred to
a Chinese hay peddler yesterday
forenoon. He was coming into
town from Waikiki with wagon
load of bales of hay, and while
driving leisurcly along in the neigh
borhood of Kawaiahao Church, some
native passers by shouted to him to
look behind. He looked, and be-
hold, his load of hay was all on fire
With the assistance of the neighbors
with buckets of water the fire was
extinguished, but not until about
all the hay was spoiled. 1t is not
known how the fire originated.
whether from cigarette thrown on
to it carelessly by the driver, or the
application of a match by mischiev-
Gus boys. But to the Chinaman,
who was Notwithstanding as he
drove along, of the amount of cash
he was to realize from his hay, the
loss was no doubt serious one.
For the second time, A. j. Cart
wright, Esq. calls upon the owners
Of lots in the Nuuanu Valley Gene
terry to meet him and make some
definite arrangement in regard to the
affairs of the Association. The fact
that there are funds in the hands of
the Treasurer to be disposed of,
ought, one may suppose, to operate
as an inducement for those interested
to attend the meeting on Thursday
next-allowing that a feeling of
respectful regard for Goods Acre
would not have that effect.

FIRE-PROOF LIMITS.

"h'Na wa NSo"SSSS f'sN'S' ~ SSNas.~NA,
San Act to restrict the erection Of
buildings, other than those built of
hrc-proof materials, within certain
limits In the city Of Honolulu. AS
orig ginally introduced, the third Sec
ton provided that, 1T shall not be
lawful for any person to repair the
external walls or roof Of any wooden
building which before the coming
into operation of this Act shall be
erected within the aforesaid limits,
unless with the approval of the
Superintendent Of Public Works for
the time being, or Of such other
person as may be appointed by the
Minister of the Interior for that pur-
pose" This Section, in Difference
to the strongly expressed opinions
Of some of the opposers Of the bill,
was stricken out. The schedule of
limits also was amended, by stiking
out the words" point one
hundred feet mauka of Hotel street,
thence running one hundred feet
mauka of Hotel street." and substi-
tuting the words" to King street,
thence along the makai side Of King
street." &c. The bill as it will
probably passfinally to-day, reads as
follows:
SECTION THE word Build
ing" when used in this Act, shall
mean and comprise any dwelling
house, shop, store, warehouse,
church, Chapel, concert-room, hos
pital, theatre, manufactory, work
shop, stable, privy, or other build
ing or erection whatsoever, and the
words /" Hereafter to be built"
shall apply to all buildings commen-
ced after this Act shall come into
operation, or which, if commenced
before this Act shall come into oper-
alton, shall not he covered in within
one month thereafter.
Section Amy building here
after to be built in the City Of Homo
lulu, within the limits specified in
the Schedule hereto (cxcept such
sheds rs may be erected by the Gov
ernmcnt on the wharf frontage for
wharf accommodation), shall have
the external walls and roof thereof
constructed Of brick, stone, con-
crete, iron, or other fire-proof mate
rial; Provided, that if iron be used,
the framework shall also be con-
structed Of iron.
SECTION Amy person who shall
violate the provisions Of this Act by
constructing any building except of
such materials AZ mentioned in
2. shall be deemed guilty of
the offence Of common nuisance,
and may be proceeded against
accordingly.
SECTION J-This Act shall take
effect and become law from and after
the date of its publication.
THE SCHEDULE BEFORE REFERRED TO.
IAN those parts of the City of
Honolulu bounded by the water
front and by a line running from
the said water front and eighty feet

the water front.
And also, all those parts of the
City Of Honolulu comprising the

hereafter be reclaimed, from the

The question Of corporal punishment
in the public schools Of Port Huron,
Michigan, has been decided in the at.
firmatiye by the Board Of Education,
and it would also appear by their action
that it was to be made compulsory; but
so far no rules have been adopted fixing
the number or percentage Of the scholars
that must be logged. That no unlawful
means Of torture shall be used, they have
provided each school with a leather strap
one foot in length, two inches wide and
very thin. Although the punishment
inflicted by such an instrument would
necessarily be light, it will not be sur
prising if such early training will end in
the erection of the whipping post for
the continuation Of the course Of in
struction pursued in early life.

moaE ACCURATE FIGURES.

Not the least interesting Of the sta
tistics of the tenth century are those
which give, more accurately than hereto
fore. the areas Of the States and Terri
tories. This work has been done in such
a way that many Of the figures accepted
heretofore are changed, though even the
new ones are only approximate.
Our total area of States and Terri
tories, exclusive of Alaska, can be easily
remembered as about 100000 square
miles-the census figures being 3,025.-
GOO. of which IS, 600 are water surface,
such as lakes and rivers. Alaska would
probably add over half a million square
miles more, its area being computed In
the ninth census at 577, 399 square miles.
Texas is the largest State, with 265, $50
square miles, including the gross area
of land and water; Rhode Island is the
smallest, with 1850 square miles. Texas,
then, is over 200 times as large as Rhode
Island; and, in fact, it contains over $50
times as much land, the respective land
areas being 262, 800 and LOSS square
miles. Next to Texas comes California,
with LIS. $50 square miles, and following
that are Nevada, with ITO, 700; Colo
RADIO, with l03, 925; Oregon. with sc, 03O.
and Minnesota, with 1886.
There is a wide contrast between these
six States and the half dozen smallest:
Rhode Island, with 1850 square miles;
Delaware, with 1850; Connecticut, with
400; New Jersey, with 1915; Massa-
chusetts, with S,3l5, and New Hamp-
shire, with 9,305. But there is no less a
contrast, inyersely, in the influence these
little States and the big ones have rela'
lively exerted on the history OF tbs
country. The largest county in any o.
the States is Nye County, Nevada; the
smallest is New York. Here is a still
more remarkable contrast between are;
and Importance, Nye being the leas'
populous of the whole.
Dakota heads the Territories, exclusive
Of Alaska, with a gross area Of l49, To-
square miles, and Montana follows close
ly, with a lac, 0SO. Dakota wants to b
divided before she enters the Union; bu
she is already smaller than Texas an
California, and not nearly SO populous a
they. Still, Texas will undoubtedly b
divided, sooner or later, perhaps int
four States, each bigger than all Ne,
York and New Jersey combined.
The ratio Of water to land area afford
another source of contrast among tn
States and Territories. Proportional,
Rhode Island has the most water il
hers-l65 square miles to LOSS of land
Maine, Florida and North Carolina ar
other examples of large water area, in
Guiding bayons and inlets. As a con
trast we find aria Arizona with 10
square miles Of water surface to liz, 92
Of land, and her neighbor, New Mexico
with 100 square miles Of water to l22,
400 Of land.

GIRLS SCHOOLS IN FRANCE.

N As
Thirty schools for girls will soon be
established in France, and the new
scheme of education is being actively
criticised. Figaro quantity regrets that
ii will never produce ''such masterpieces
Of pure womanhood" as Mines. Rosita,
Mauri, Krauss and Judic; but as it is
not the ambition Of all French women to
dance in ballots. sing in operas or sparkle
In gay chansonettes this objection is not
30 weighty as it may seem to Parisians.
There is no doubt that the women of
France do not occupy their former rank;
they are outpaced in education by the
men, and their natural quickness avails
them less than Of old. Their drawing.
rooms are deserted, and their influence is
diminished and they are left to pick up
such mental training as they can get
from the novels of Cherbuliez and from
the social twaddle provided by writers
like "Etincelle" ip the newspapers. Sent
out into the world fresh from converts
or from home, sold to the first husband
whose prospects suit their parents, they
have often furnished s~atirists with an ex-
euse for defaming them, and have re-
duced to q minority those beautiful ex.
amples Of the sex who still adorn the
provincial life Of France. What French
women want is to be placed on a level
with the men-not that they may go off
as ambassadresses to Russia like Nine.
Adam, or ~harangue communists like
Louise Michel, but that they may have
a fair share in that broad culture which
is the sole basis of a Republic.
