ONE KIND or SCH EAE.

Yesterday morning two young mer
while eating breakfast in restauran
up town were overheard holding con
vcrsation which was in substance to the
effect that, as they did not feel able tc
spend fly cents month in order to
have the benefits Of the Public Library
they proposed to form club of say
ten members, represented by one o
the number, who was to join the Iii
brary Association, pay the dues, draw
the books, pass them around among
the members and finally return them tc
the library, thus securing membership
for ten or more persons on a basis o.
$I.5o per quarter. In other words
these young men propose that the
members of the club shall receive the
benefit of our Public Library at the
rate of five cents per month apiece OF
hfteen cents per quarter.
Now, our Public Library is an insti
tuition which should be so sustained and
supported by our citizens that 1t nigh,
extend its sphere of usefulness and be
come, in time, greater ornament and
honor to our city. The Library derives
no support from the Government and
has always been dependent upon the
dues and donations received from time
to time from generous citizens. 1t is
humiliating to think we have people
in our midst who are capable of con
cocting a scheme to virtually defraud
and impose in such a manner upon a
public institution that is chiefly depcn
dent upon the charity OF our citizens
1t is always disagreeable to say harsh
things, but in the present case we un
derstand that the suggestors of thi,
scheme Of literary larceny are amply
able to pay the small fee of fifty cents
month, for the advantages they pro
pose to derive from the Library by
fraud, at the rate Of five cents a month
There is no palliation or shadow of ex
cuse for such conduct. Young men, i
you read this, for the sake ofyour man
hood profit by our words. We tax,
the greatest pleasure in warning th'
authorities Of the Library in this pub
lie manner that they may take steps t,
prevent such an occnnance,

A Dutch pt

EDITOR Honolulu PREss-Ded,
Sir. I've got my opinion of a paper
that goes to work and tries to ruin the
old pump handle joke on all milkmen
in such a shameful manner. However,
I'll let you off seeing that you do not
define what quality of milk that twenty
four gallons was But its that "devil'
you were hunting for which called to
mind an incident which happened many
years ago in my own town of Leicester,
England. A poor boy, Richard Har-
ris, was employed in the office of the
Leicester Adserfiser and was as usual
dubbed the printers "devih" One
morning early, just as the last form was
being made up to go on the press,
poor Richard accidentally 'pied" it
there was no time to reset the type ;
so, all jumbled together as it was, the
form was 'locked" and with the edi-
torial remark across the bottom of the
form "The Dutch mail arrived SO
late we are obliged to give it to the
pubic dS VIC ISSSiNSu IL -thS PapSi
was published The poor printers
devil was ever afterwards known as
"Dutch Mail Harris" He lived to be
come a member of Parliament for his
native town and founded one of the
largest hosiery manufacturing estab-
lishments in England and after build
ing one of the most beautiful churches
in Leicester he died at ripe old age.
Moral Every printers devil in
Honolulu has the chance to become
something great if he will only let his
moral courage help him to overcome
the small difficulties of life. This same
remark will apply to numbers of other
young men. Yours truly,

Late Fashion Notes.

Tulle bonnets are worn with the
dressiest thin summer frocks.
White serge dresses for little girls
are trimmed with many rows of gold
braid.
Elegant polonaises of black lace are
made to wear with skirts OF black OF
colored silks.
Sashes of MORE ribbon eight or ten
inches wide will be worn by women as
well as by children.
Gold and pale pink are introduced
effectively in embroideries on white
satin for full-dress purposes.
The Catogan braid is the latest style
of coiffure for girls. The bang is worn
quite short and may be straight ol
slightly crimped.
Chamois-leather gloves are popular
They ward off the tan and are durable
a little ammonia will cleanse them
effectively. To avoid shrinking they
must be washed and then dried upon
the hands.

A NATIONAL MUSEUM

We have it on good authority that
Charles r. Bishop has in contempla-
tion the establishment Of museum of
Hawaiian antiquities The relics, Gu
rios and industrial articles belonging to
the estate of the late Mrs. Bishop form
valuable nucleus for such museum.
1t was contemplated by Queen Dow
ager Emma to leave her relics and
curios in trust to Mr.. Bishop to be
Joined with those of Mrs. Bishop for
the purpose first above mentioned.
The unfortunate fact that the codicil Of
the late Queens will, making such pro-
vision, was unsigned has delayed the
immediate transfer of the relics in ques-
ton, though it is earnestly to be hoped
that they will eventually be devoted to
the desired end. DIR. Aiming has made
during his two years residence, very
creditable collection, which he will sell
at fair price. One or two other
private collections will be sold on
equally favorable terms--for the above
mentioned purpose.
II circumstances SO aid Mr.. Bishop
that he is enabled to carry out his pub
lic-spirited project the nation will be
greatly the gamer. If done it is well
that it be well done and done quickly
as the day is not distant at which such
museum will be impossible.

The LOA6on 1rnM remarks that it is
not bad thing to be relation OF Lord
Salisbury's when Lord Salisbury is in
power. His nephew and brother-in
law have received distinguished ap
pointments with appropriate salaries
II might be truthfully remarked thai
even in this far-away country it is not q
bad thing to be related to the Premier.

RETIRING ENLISTED MEN.

The Senate has done its share toward an
act Of justice in passing the Houae bill Gre
ating retired list for the non commissioned
officers and privates of the Regular Army.
The bill, which now goes to the President
for signature, provides that after man has
served 80 years in the Regular Army he
may, upon application to the President, be
placed ON the Retired List, and receive rs
per cent. of the pay and allowances of the
rank held when retired. The rightfulness
of passing such bill is SO obvious as to
hardly need argument in its behalf. The
distinction that has heretofore been made
in the matter of retirement between the en-
listed men and officers was fiagrantly I'M
just one. Long and honorable service in
the ranks makes just rs good claim upon
the country for support as service under a
commission.
1t seems to u.s. however, that the time
was made too long. Twenty-Five years
would have been long enough, in all con-
science. In the English army men are pen
stoned after 20 years service.
Five Senators voted against the bill Coke,
Colguitt, Harris, Salisbury and Vest.

AN ENGLISH ALLIANCE.

Several leading English papers are now
discoursing very earnestly on the advan-
tages which would result to the United
States and England from an offensive and
defensive alliance between the two coun-
tries, and they sing quite number of pleas
ant songs to the tune that blood is thicker
than water" We have no doubt that we
could be exceedingly useful to England as
an ally. The present drift of great race
movements, looking to the agglutination into
great empires of all the subdivisions of each
family will result in completely isolating
England, as she is neither Latin Teuton
nor Slav. In the very near future all Eu-
rope will he divided into one great Latin
empire, which will include France, Italy,
Spain and Portugal; still greater Gernlanic
Empire, that will be composed of the Dutch,
Scandinavian and German countries, and
possibly a still greater Muscovite empire, to
include all the races of Slavic affinity
England can nave no place IN any OF these
aggregations, and her only hope of union
with people that will place her on an equal
ity in numbers and wealth with the rest of
Europe, is in close connection with the
Greater Britain beyond the seas. But it does
not appear clear to us what we are to gain
by such an alliance. She has nothing to
offer us that will compensate for the advan-
tages and disadvantages on our side of the
contract. The time may come when the
United States, having three or four times
the population it now has. will make use of
England as portal to Europe; but that
country is not at all willing to assume a
subordinate role to us at present, and we

THE ANCIENT AND HONORABLE
ARTILLERY"
By Gen. Geo. S. Me-ri.i.

There is no more interesting body of men
In the country than tie Ancient and Honor
able Artillery Company of Boston, which is
the oldest military organization in America
and among the very Oldest in the world. 1t
was organized in 163s, or 10 years after the
Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock. 1t is
the outgrowth of the struggle which the
God-fearing Paritans waged against the I'M
believing "salvages," and since that time
has been nursery for the martial sons of
Massachusetts. Membership in it has always
been esteemed high honor and to-day it
has in its ranks, as privates, Majors, Colonies,
Brigadier-Generals and Major Generals.
Gen. Merrill's style is brilliant and in
cisive, and he will make an account well
worth reading. The article will derive
additional interest from the fact that the
Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company
will be present at the dedication of the
Monument making at that time only the
second visit in its lengthy history of PAT
years outside the boundaries of the Com
monwealth of Massachusetts,.
