A railroad official who was somewhere
in the eighborhoo1 OF the northern boUn-
Diary OF New Eugland-2ot to be too def
aite-was suddenly summoned home, and
taking an engine with Il special car
attached, he started for Boston.
Somewhere near themhldie of the route
the special train stopped Tor water, and
the passengers waiting for 4 train due 3
few minutes later, came crowdlng 10 20
on board. They were OF course stopped
b. the brakeman, hut L woman, despite
all representations ard circumstances,
made ner way rs main force into the pr
yate car.
The official for whose usc the train was
designed had been to send a telegram
ahead, and when lie returned he found
this intrusive passenger. Discovering
how matters were, lie chose rather 10 ac-
cept the situation than to have the wo-
MAJ expelled by force, and the train &c
cordinGIy started with two passengers
instead Of one.
Retreatiag to the extreme end of the
car, the geAtlenIan lighted 9 cigar and
composed himself to read, but i'll Il few
moments his fellow passenger came bear

ut her coolly. You forced your way into
this car when you were told that it was a
private one, and it is only by my suffer
ance that you were allowed to remain.
You are indebted to NE for your passage
to Boston, and ] came into this end of the

Royal Tea Party.

Yesterday afternoon between the hours
Of 2 and 5 O'Clock Her Majesty the
Queen held reception and tea party for
ladies at Iolani Palace The blue room
was most magnifcently furnished and
decorated for the reception. In the
throne room were the feather robes and
the Queens crown. The dining room
contained number of small tables, on
which were the choicest specimens of
tea services. Handsome bouquets of
bowers were spread all around. Mrs.
Iaukea, wife of His Majesty's Chamber
lain, had charge of the arrangements. A
large number of ladies attended the
party, and were most graciously enter
tanned by Her Majesty. The Royal Ha-
waiian Band was stationed in the pa
vilion, and played during the afternoon.

people with cross on their foreheads.
1t is the first day of Lent, called in Latin
Quadragesima (holy season of 40 fasting

days in the desert. On that day re-

WE TAKE THE LEAD.

In one respect at least the city of He
nolulu may justly claim a proud pre-
eminence. There are few, if any, cities
of similar dimensions which can count
upon their streets SO many apparently
unmanageable horses. Comparatively
seldom does day pass but what the
daily journalist can make sure of ga run
away par" to help fill up his needy col
umns. However great the dearth OF
news in these degenerate days of politi
cal quiescence and sO-called quarantine
regulations, theme on which to exer-
else his pen can generally be found in
this familiar topic. Precisely why thi,
is the case is problem which has never
been brought to a satisfactory solution.
If runaway horses were as frequent in
some OF the cities OF maturer growth the
city fathers would bring their collective
wisdom to bear upon the momentous
question until it was brought within con-
troll. Here We have no "city fathers" in
the popular acceptation of that term
(perhaps it would be better if we had),
and so the matter has gone on until we
have become accustomed to it. Whether
the fault lies in defective horse-breaking
or incompetent driving, we will not I'M
dertake to determine, but are inclined
to think that the latter cause has some
thing to do with it. The Chinese, as a
rule, are not noted for good horseman-
ship, and numbers of them are seen in
charge of horses here. Probably very
5 frw OF them handled a horse in the
eu lowery Land. In San Francisco, we
B understand, this is contrary to the
Itmunicipal regulations, and there are
y doubtless sufficient grounds for the re-
/ striction; otherwise it would not exist
4 Now that the vexed question of the Mar
shalship has been satisfactorily settled,
it is to be fervently hoped that the run
away question will also have the atten-
ton of that executive officer of whom SO
much is expected.
