ARE KNEE PREECHES COMING

The Gradual Transformation of tho Dress
Suit-A SweIl's WaI drobe.
'sThe past season was the most significant
one in fifty years as far as mems fashions are
concerned" said an uptown tailor, "because
it showed that tho old-time and all-sufficient
dress suit was losing its hold Men have
grown rcstive under the severe and rigid
dress suit rules Of former years They ere
moving toward more elaborate costumes, and
they'll get there before long, too"
"I've watched"the rest!essnes5 Of the dress
suit" he continued slowly, with great care,
for knew that as soon as the deadlock was
broken it would only be a question of time
when llnickerbocEerS, bucklrl shoes and
rufl!es would come in. The FIRST indication
was broad satin or silk collar and lapel for
the evening coat This made = stir at first,
but now threc-fourths Of my clients have silk
or satin lapels on their coats Then came
white waistcoats-at first very simple, but
this season made of figured silks Of really
gaudy patterns, and further decorated With
gold buttons Many Of the buttons had The
monogram OF tho wearer wrought OH them,
and some had crcsts. Then came G
very significant change-the triumph OF
plated, stamped, ribbed and decorated shirt
fronts They became almost universal before
the season ended. Tho straight collars Of q
few seasons ago were replaced by rolling col
lars, and the little shocstrinS ties by broad
black or white bands. Then the coat tails
were rounded off and mad, smaller, and the
coat drawn in at the waist Ike the coats o.
the Eighteenth century. l saw the way
things were tending, and built up somo of my
shoulders with great success. Tho trousers
were then decorated with broad satin band,
and your fashionable man of 'SG vas properly
clad. Add very low pumps, colcred hose and
the latest wrinkle from the Prince Of Wales
bright red, blue or yellow silk handkerchief
thrust into the open waistcoat front-and
everything was complete. These arc small
things in detail, but very important es indi
eating the bent Of fashion. A plainly dressed
man of two seasons ago is esiipsed by tho
dandy of to-day, with his snowy shirt front

"SSurely tennis and bicycling have shown q
great many men how becoming knee breeches
are They are infinitely more graceful than
trousers, il n man has any sort Of leg at all.
No man wears knee breeches when lie plays
tennis because they are comfortable, because
they are not. The stockings irritate and arc
exceedingly warm, and the garters above the
knee are no end OF nuisance. A pair OF
loose flannel trousers are infinitely more com
Portable and convenient. But the mind Of
man is bent on knee breochcs, and the inilu-

LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY.

The House was occupied the greater
part of the forenoon in debating the
Hawaiian Board of Health or rather
the kahuna's bill. The bill creates a
Board of Health, all the members of
which shall be Hawaiians, and en-
powers them to license persons repre-
sented to be skilled in native medicine
to practise their method of treatment
Subordinate Boards are proposed to be
formed in all the taxation districts, so
that when this bill passes, if it does
pass, the Hawaiian Islands will be
under the medical superintendent of
only thirty Boards of Health. The
District Boards will receive appllca-
tions and inspect the credentials of
candidates, and recommend them to
the Central Board located in Homo
lulu. Intending practitioners will pay
fees on receiving their licenses, but the
members of the Boards are not pro-
vided for in the matter of emoluments.
After a lengthy debate, it was discov-
cred that the consideration of the bill
was premature, the select committee to
whom it was referred not having re-
ported. The noon recess intercepted
the further progress of the measure.
The afternoon session took up the
second reading of the pawnbroker's
bill, specifying the business which shall
constitute pawnbroker, providing for
the granting of licenses, fixing the limit
Of percentages to be charged by pawn
brokers, and imposing penalties on all
persons engaging in this business with
out license, as well as on licensed
parties who violate the conditions OF
their licenses The bill passed to third
reading. The next business was the
amendment OF the bill to amend sec
ton IoI of the Civil Code for the
better regulation of the Government
water supply. The main feature OF
the measure is that it proposes to make
arrears of water rates lien upon the
premises supplied, and was vigorously
opposed by Messrs. Dare, Thurston,
Bishop ard Dole. A variety of amend
ments was offered, and sections
clauses and amendments were getting
considerably mixed, when a count out
occurred; and there being no quorum
the House adjourned.

Police Court.

There was lengthy session of the
Police Court yesterday, caused mainly
by an immense body of evidence rolled
up in defense of a Chinaman charged
with social crime, who was remanded
for judgment. Kama and Kalama each
were fined the usual SIS and costs for
drunkenness All Sam committed an
assault, which cost HIM sos All
Sin and Achi, for assault and battery,
had each similar contributions to make
10 the exchequer. Kauhini seems to
have been seized with the martial
spirit Of the times, on Monday morn
ing, for he arose early, or else stayed up
the previous night, and went forth to
Stay. With military belt and scab-
bard girt about him, and naked
sword in his hand, he entered All
Shing's house on South street. Pro
ceeding to the Ceestia's chamber
door, he called on All Shing to let him
in or die by the sword. Instead OF
that All Shing called the police, and
the valiant knight was admitted to the
Station without having to cut his way
in. This exploit goes down in the
Honolulu police archives as bringing in
$40 to the revenues and ten days hard
labor for the benefit of the Hawaiian
Kingdom,

battalion Drill.

Last evening about eight o'clock the
rattle of drums betokened that the
moonlight battalion drill, postponed the
previous night on account of the
weather was to be held AT few
minutes of nine Palace Square wore a
military aspect. White uniforms were
all around the place, while stacks of
arms glittered down the center of the
square. A good many people were
gathered on both sides to see the
parade, the larger proportion of them
being natives. The roll of the drum
brought the flirting soldiery from all the
borders of the square, and they fell
into line with celebrity that would do
them credit on call of danger. Four
companies formed ranks, namely:
Kings Guards, "A rank and file;
Kings Own, 80; Queens Own, "a, and
Princes Own, 10, making up a bat
talon no strong, exclusive of officers
There was first drill in manual ex-
ercises by companies, lasting a few
minutes. Then the King acting as
Colonel, drilled the battalion in few
movements Of the same kind. BY
command of His Majesty, Major r. H.
Baker acting as Lieutenant-Colone
published the orders in Hawaiian for
the next battalion drill, to take place
tonight if our reporters interpreter is
correct. Then the officers presented
themselves in line before the King, who
addressed them in English, saying he
hoped they would have the orders Just
given faithfully carried out, after which
he gave the command to dismiss the
battalion, The drill lasted about ten
minutes There was no marching
Remarkable precision and accuracy
characterized the arms exercises.

DEAR Mr.. HoRN--In reply to your query
with regard to the handsome cake donated by
you to the Priory fair yesterday week, 1 have
to state that l was one OF the gentlemen (Mr.
f. L. Clarke being the other), who assisted in
cutting up and distributing the same to the
twelve subscribers, of whom was one.
The cake was certainly not given to my
Reformatory School Band boys, and whoever
says so is guilty of an untruth.
H. K. III. Princess Likelike very kindly un.
dertook to see that the boys were amply pro-
vided with refreshments, and they had all
they wished for
The cake was not only very handsome
one as a work of art, but was exceedingly
tasty and delicious.
You are at liberty to make use Of this in
any way you may think fit.
am, dear sir, yours, etc.,

To the Editor of the HERALD:
DEAR SIR-The beautiful cake, with other
delicacies, that Mr. Horn so generously do.
mated to the Priory fair last Saturday week,
was sold for the sum Of $rz, being subscribed
for by twelve citizens at dollar each, who
each took their share away with them. 1t was
not cut up by Hart of the Elite Ice Cream
Parlor and distributed 10 the Reformatory
school boys, as is said to have been stated by
the said Hart.
A prominent Judges lady undertook the
disposal Of the cake and two gentlemen (who
were subscribers) cut it up and handed it,
under the ladys direction, to the remaining
contributors.
Every one was well satisfied with Mr..
Horns skill and handiwork, and the cake was
all that could be wished for, and we'll worth
the money subscribed for it.
am yours, etc.
