HONOLULU FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The Board of Representatives of
the Honolulu Fire Department held
a special meeting Thursday evening,
Chief Engineer c. b. Wilson pre-
siding. Fifteen members were pre-
sent. The new laws and regulations
enacted at the last session of the
Legislature were read section by
section by Secretary Henry Smith,
and passed.
Before adjourning, First Assistant
Engineer Asch called upon the
Board to change the manner of cele-
bratlng the anniversary of the de-
partment, February 3rd. Hereto
fore it had been celebrated by pa
rade. He moved that each alter
nate anniversary be celebrated by
general temperance banquet, to be
held outdoors weather permitting,
otherwise in the Honolulu Rifles
Armory. Mr.. Asch stated that the
parades were costly, what with the
decorating and feasting, that liquors
did the firemen no good, and further
that Intoxicating drink had better
be left out entirely in the proposed
banquet.
The proposition was supported and
finally referred to the dele
gates of the various companies for
consideration at their next meetings
1t was decided to hold the cele-
bration, whatever form it may take,
on February 18th, Coronation day,
as the 3rd falls on Sunday.

A SUGGESTION.

EDITOR BULLETIN: :-Thomas square
is not as much frequented and ap-
preciated by the public as it de-
serves to be, and ] would suggest
that an afternoon concert on pub

would offer an additional induce
ment to the people to make them
selves better acquainted with the
beauties of the square. | have no
doubt that our efficient bandmaster
will lend his ready hand to make a

Field Marshal Halstead, was here n week or

in spirits, pooh poohed them out of existence
entirely. Nevertheless he said he had had a
: curious dream once when he was i'll Europe

Concealment of Authorship.

As general rule and excepting for some
special or personal reasons, habitual anon
UNITY for professional writer is disa1lvan-
tage. There are certain advantages to be
derived, it is true, from concealment of
authorship in special cases. An anonymous
novel by well known author" always has
the charm of mystery about it, and publish
ers have been known to take advantage Of
this fact, even sometimes when the author
was not well known to anybody but the
members of the firm Sometimes an author
who has won fame in some special way may
find it to his advantage to do writing of an
other kind anonymously or under borrowed
signature. An anonymous series of readable
novels, like the No Name Series" for i'll
stance, is likely to be profitable TO the pub
fishers, and is a good thing because it may
give TO an unknown writer an equal chance
with a popular novelist There are some
other eases in which anonymous writing may
be advisable; but, as a rule, the writer who
means to make writing a business will find it
to his advantage to put his signature to
everything he writes, and to make that sig
nature as widely known as possible. illiam
