ROWDYISM AT THE BAND CONCERTS.

Evening amusementS in Honolulu are
neither numerous nor varied. Hence
that perplexing problem, chow to reach
our young men," There is, however,
one source of diversion for leisure hours
in the periodical concerts by the Hawa-
ian Band, the quality of whose music it
would be hard to excel. And henceforth
the charm of an evening stroll in the
presence of its dulcet strains will not be
a little enhanced by the rays of the cleo
trio light, which reveals just enough of
the surrounding foliage to please the
eye. The scene, as one meanders among
the shrubbery, cannot fail to appeal to
whatever sense of the beautiful the visi-
tors may possess. There is but one dis
cordant element, utterly incongruous to
all the surroundings, which is rarely alb
sent and which mars the whole The
squares on band nights (more particu-
larry Thomas Square) have become
rendezvous for crowds of youthful hood
lums of various nationalities, who turn
the place into a playground, rushing
madly round, tearing through the
bushes, jostling against passers-by,
shouting and yelling at the tops of their
voices in language which is often not of
the choicest description, and completely
drowning the finer passages of the
music. There is no good reason why
all classes, rich and poor alike, should
not participate in whatever enjoyment
may be derived from these concerts, but
when the privilege is abused, as it con-
stantly is, the abuse is a public griev-
ance which ought to be put down by the
strong arm of the law; and, considering
that liberal appropriation of the reve-
nue. is made for the maintenance of a
police force, we have a right to demand
that it be at least equal to the task of
keeping few boys in order and prevent
ing them from being a public nuisance.
It is possible that if the offenders of

use current phrase) the problem OF
reaching the young men of five or ten
years hence would be partially solved.
Youths who are allowed to run wild
about the streets under no kind of re-
strain are as rule those who develop
into young men whom philanthropists
try in vain to reach. If they are to be
dealt with effectually it must be at an
earlier stage, and when parents and
guardians fail in their duty the police
man is the only alternative.

inst Like Smith.

An amusing incident took place in the
Supreme Court yesterday during the
hearing of probate case. An old native
woman was on the stand stating to the
Court the condition of her husband a
short time before he died. The old lady
said he was very much emaciated and
almost worn away to skeleton. To IL
lustrate, the old lady pointed to Mr.. w.
o. Smith, the lawyer, and said he was
the picture of her husband just before
death.

Is Chaska 2 Myth?

A Pierre, Dak., special to the Globe Democrat says: It is now asserted that the Chaska-Fellows wedding is one of the biggest canards that was ever sprung on a gulible public. There probably is such a party as Chaska on the reservation somewhere, but as far as he is concerned Tn a marriage with the noted Miss Fellows 1t is all the veriest bosh. Yeur correspondent has conversed with numerous men who reside along the rlver adjacent to the place called Swift Birds camp, where the scene of the romance IS laid by the Imaginative Pierre "speclaI" core spendent, and the men are pronounced in saying that there is nothing Tn it. They are in good position to know as they meet and converse with In dians and half-breeds almost every day. Even the John Robb referred to in the recent Pierre special" giving a highly colored account of the mar. rage, who is an Indian trader al Cheyenne Agency, was seen by the writer, and he says that the story was hoax from beginning to end.

What Fruits Resemble.

The cOcoanut Is in many respects like the human skull, although it closely re- sembles the skull of the monkey. A sponge may be so held as tc remind one of the urnheshed face of the skeleton, and the meat of an English walnut is almost the exact representation of the brain. Plums and black cherries resemble the human eyes; almonds and some other nuts resemble the different varieties of the human nose, and an open oyster and its shell are a perfect image of the human ear.
 The shape of almost any mans body may be found in the various kinds of mammoth pumpkins. The open hand may be discerned in the form assumed by scrub willows and growing celery.
 The German tuTnip and the egg plant resemble the human heart. There are other striking resemblances between hu- man organs and certain vegetable forms. The forms of many mechanical contriv- ances in common use may be traced back to the patterns furnished by nature. Thus, the hog suggested the blow; the butterfly, the ordinary hinge; the toad stool, the umbrella; the duck, the ship; the fungouS growth on trees, the bracket. Any one desirous of proving the oneness of the earthly system will find the re- semblance in nature an amusing study, to say the least.-New York Market Journal.

Decrease fin Trade.

There was a decrease of about S2,- SR0,0OO in the customs receipts of the country in March, with a shrinkage ot about $2OO,GO0 in internal revenue and of S1, ,3OO,OO0 in miscellaneous re- ceipts, the comparison being with March, 1887. A falling of was expect ed, but nobody supposed that it would reach these figures. Several caus- es undoubtedly contributed toward bringing it about. The strikes on the Western railroads, the danger of the passage of injurious revenue legisla- ton by Congress, and the possible per ils which threatened currency con- traction has in store, have unsettled business, to some extent at least. The strikes will probably end in two or three weeks, so that thls adverse in- Huence will be but temporary. The duration of the threatened contraction andrevenue reduction menace depends upon the action which Congress may take upon these questions. But wheth- CT the causes be transitory or more permanent, general trade, taking the country as whole, is apparently less active than it was a year ago.-Globe- Democrat.

Honoln1n.s re1snhons System.


 The telephone system of Honolulu is very perfect-as good as any place in the world, better than in some. The car riages for hire are sort of phaeton, with top extending over two seats, drawn by one horse. The smooth, level streets, macadamized with coral, enable one horse to draw four passengers with ease at a good round gait. The fare IS twenty-five cents for each passenger any where within the city limits-a liberal district.
 The natives are expert horsemen; they ride small sized, tough mustangs with Mexican saddles and lariat at the saddle bow, at a furious pace. Necessarily they are the best of swimmers and boatmen. The whalers say they are excellent sea men, and, strange as it may appear, for those born in the tropics, withstand the cold of the Arctic seas. The native policemen are a fine looking lot of fellows. They wear white linen caps and panta- looms, and blue sack coats; with their swarthy complexion they present natty appearance. Withal Honolulu is quiet place for a city of 0,000 inhabitants composed of so many discordant ele- ments. Foreigners dress according to individual taste, in suits of white, with straw or pith East India hats; others wear somber black; all wear the thinnest f of material One may meet in the streets English, American, Japanese, Chinese, South Sea Islanders and Hawaiians Jostl- ing each other on the sidewalks.

A Miners Advice.

4 gentleman who has had wide and happy experence in mining gives the following as his advice to persons about to invest in mining properties:
 1. In buying prospect, pay what it is worth, not what it will be worth. Its value is wholly prospective and is to be determined by expenditure of the time and money of the purchaser.
 ?. In buying mlne, be sure of the quantity and value of ore blocked out by making your own tests and meas urements. Be sure that it will not cost more per ton to mine, transport and reduce the ore than it is worth. If you cannot determine these factors accurately don't buy.
 In conclusion he adds that wise in vestments in mines yield richer re- turns than any other use to which capital may be applied.-Kansas City Financial and R. E, Record.

SI,eIetnn of n "Giant.,

Not longer ago than 1846 mastodon skeleton was exhibited in New Orleans as that of giant. The cranium was made of rawhide, fantastic wooden teeth were fitted in the jaws, all missing parts were restored after the human model, and the whole raised upon the hind legs. It cer- tainly conveyed the notion of "a hideous, diabohcal giant, " and was no doubt re- sponsible for many nightmares As a sad commentary on the state of the med ical profession ill the southwest at that time, it may be added that the exhibitor was perfectly honest in his belief, and to support his belief he had a trunk full of physicians certificates that these were human bones.-Prof. W. B. Scott in Scribner's

What Commercial Travellers spend.
fJewelsra, WeeLIr

 A modern knlght of the road: "Do you know that there are about 8O,OOC commercial travellers in the United States? Surprised to hear it? Yes most people are when they are told oi it; but it's a fact nevertheless. You may also be surprised to learn that each one of them spends on an aver age S9O0O year, or a total of $24O,. 100000.
 "If you add to this their salaries averaging at least 5000, you have a total expenditure by commercial tray elers of $32e,0OO,0OO a year. This K naturally spent in all parts of the country, but the hotels and raiIrsad; get the lions share of 1t.
 During the last ten years there has been great change in the char acter of the commercial traveller. The old Bohemian type has almost wholly disappeared from the road, and drink ing men are much more rarely met With there than formerly. The fact o1 the matter is that competition i: now so keen and expenses have be- come so heavy that 1t does not pay mouse to send out as travellers any but Ihe steadiest and most reliable busi' ness men.
 "on the other hand, the travellers remuneration is much better than for Inerly, salaries of from S3O0O to S6OOC Seing 0y no means infrequent."

MT. CrowIey,s Awful Habit.

Two members of the Union club went to the Central Park menagerie the other day, and by special favor were permitted to watch Mir. Crowley, the chimpanzee, eat his dinner. Mir. Crowley, as every body knows, sits at his own little table and uses a knife, fork and napkin. After watching the monkey for some time, one of the club men turned to the other and said in tones of horror:
 "Baw Jawve, he spweads his napkin on both knees, ye know"

If Figaro, Gil Bias, and other Paris papers are to be believed, Joseph, W. K. Vanderbilt's acquisition, is not a cook at all, does not hall from Big mons. aristecratic restaurant. but IS simply maitre d'hotel at Sylvain S. Sylvain's is the only frst-class restau- rant, except the bucolic Ledoyen's, in the Champs Elysees, where meals are served in the open air. Its proximity to the leading newspaper offices and the opera, as well as a low rate of pri- ces-much lower than Bignon's, which IS the most expensive place in Paris make it faverite resort for both iour- nalists and singers. As one enters Sylvain's, he is met by the maitre d'hotel in full dress, who bows to him with an inclination taken from the third figure of the laneers, and escorts him respectfully to a seat.

2ns familiar expression of "Let her go, Gallagher" had its origin some thing over year ago in New Orleans. 1t was during the strike of the car drivers. The Gallagher, whose name is now household word, was the first driver to start car from the depot in opposition to the wishes of the strikers. He stood on the front platform, one hand on the brake lever, the other holding the lines, while a mob of mal- contents tried to howl him down from his stand. Let her go, Gallagherr' the superintendent called out when the time for starting came, and Gala gher let her go. This broke the back bone of the strike, and in a day or two every car in the city was running as usual.-Ex.

Mining is the most fascinating pur- suit in which men can engage, says the Mining Review. Whether sue cessful or unsuccessful, the hope of striking It rich is ever present. While not every one that works body of ore is fortunate, the chances are al- ways encouraging. The fact is that a majority of all the mines worked are yielding profitable revenues and many are paying large dividends. The world hears nothing of many mines that are enrichlng their owners by steady returns the year round. An industry which yields $58O,0OO,O00 per year, must necessarily be profitable, ol it would not continue. The fact of its constantly incl easing activity is an unanswerable argument in It's favor.

Years of steady, faithful work, at the terms which they demand, even if the strike were now ended, would be required to enable the engineers of the 70" road to recover their losses in the contest. Even If the strike should end to-day by the unconditional sur render of the strikers the 70" road would not be able to declare a diyi- dend within the next two years-per- haps not in three years. The losses which the contest has inflicted on the community served by that line are also serious, The man who devises some practicable scheme whereby la bor controversies may be peaceabIy and equitably settled will deserve well of the State.-Globe- Democrat.
