Rep Kapaehaole moved to amend
the section by making the subsidy 500
per year instead OF $500. There could
be no question that the Government
should give the company some encour-
agement to build the road. No thinking
man can doubt that this road will be of
great public benefit both directly and
| Indirectly. As we have refused to
| guarantee any interest to the company
the subsidy of $500 is too little. 1t was
said that the refusal to guarantee in
terest in the bonds has killed the bill
do not think so. Ii we give them suffi-
cient subsidy they will still build the
road.
Rep. White said great deal had been
said on both sides, there were good
arguments on both sides, but those in
favor of the bill have INDUCED in a great
deal of castle building. He would ask
Noble Hind whether he considered the
road already built was for the benefit of
the public or the few. Noble Hind
For the benefit of the few. Rep. White
proceeding argued that aid should only
be given to roads which were for the
benefit of the many.
Noble Crabbe called the member to
order as he had spoken ten minutes.
Rep. Marques supported the amend
ment OF the hon. member from Molokai.

had been brought forward. The constant

guarantee of interest. Probably the in

The New York Mail and Erpress

The New York Mail and Express
has started one Of its staff on a 1000
mile canoe voyage. The boat is a
seamless paper shell, the first of its
kind, and the voyager will journey
up the Hudson to Lake Erie, across
to the tributaries of the Mississippi,
out the Missouri to the headwaters
of the Columbia, and down to the
Pacific ocean. The canoeist carries
a Winchester and a camera, and will
buy his provisions en- route. When
he is poetic he will write letters to
The Mail and Cypress; when he is
lonesome he will sing; when he is
lazy, he will make twenty-five miles
day; when he is hardened to his
exercise, fifty.

that Senators Price and Flournoy
have formed co-partnership for the
practice of law in this city and will
move here with their families about

A model wife is the woman in
whom the heart of her husband doth
safely trust.
She is the woman who looks after
his household, and makes hospitality
delight to him, and not a burden.
Who has learned that soft an
swer will turn away wrath.
Who is his confident in sorrow or
in joy, and who does not feel the ne
cessity of explaining the private at
fairs to the neighborhood.
Who respect the rights of husband
and children, and in turn has due
regard said to her.
We know that the strongest argu-
ment is her womanliness, and so she
cultivates it.
Who is sympathetic in joy or in
grief, and who finds work for hel
hands to do.
Who makes friends and keep them
Who is not made bitter by trou-
BILE, but who strengthens and sweet
ems under it.

GLENCOE, Ills, April 16.-On
Monday night a bright light was
seen and loud report was heard
that brought everybody out Of doors
in alarm. Nothing was to be seen
when they got out, of an unusual
character, except what was at first
mistaken for a faint red haze, not
unlike that of Indian summer, which
gradually died away, or rather lost
its luminous aspect, growing gray
like a thick fog. Those, however,
who were abroad at the moment OF
the report say that an enormous
meteor which had suddenly appeared,
coming from the northeast at a great
speed, exploded short distance east
of the town.
No fragments fell, however, and
up to date nothing has been heard
of any, so it is probable that the
force of the explosion was sufficient
to throw the large fragments to a
point where the attraction of the
earth is too feeble to cause them to
fall on it, or else they fell into the
lake. During the remainder of the
night, though, the moon and stars
were family obscured by fine rain
of ashes and minute cinders, which
was still falling during the early part
Of yesterday, but gradually sifted
away to a light dust, which has
covered everything with it's gray
powder.
News has just been brought that
the Fanny Barlow, small schooner
off the lake coast, was set on fire
Monday night shortly after 10
o'clock by red hot clnders falling
from the heavens, and was only with
difficulty kept from burning.

Mrs. Sarah Pinson, who resides in
West Virginia just over the Ken

Sunday was aroused from her slum-

the brutes drove Mrs. Pinson and
her four daughters from the house.
The entire contents of the house
were destroyed. The roof was torn
from the building. As yet no ar

A newspaper man came out of an
uptown theatre the other night, be-
tween the acts, arm in arm with the
manager.
Splendid, my boy, splendid" said
the newspaper man. "Sure to draw
immensely
"Think so, old MANI" replied the
manager. "Glad to hear it. Come
in here and let's drink success to the
star" And they turned into cafe
adjoining the playhouse and speedily
brought up before the bar.
There they spied a well known
man-about-town, whose acquaintance
the newspaper man was rather proud
OF, and glad of the opportunity to
show his familiarity with the million
aire, he seized the opportunity to in
troduce his friend the manager by
name, but omitted to mention his
business.
"Haye something to drink with us, !"
said the pleased manager; 1--WE were
just going to wet our whistles when
we saw you. What will you have 7"

declare I have caught chill listening
to that Internal play next door,

erwhelmed newspaper man and mil
lionaire becoming gradually conscious
that he had put his foot in it some
how.
"Th-th-is is the manager of that
play" began the newspaper man.
'My dear sir, let me explain" said
the millionaire. "What I meant to
say was that I never can endure pa
thos, and really the star is so pathetic
that L"
"Dont mention it,' said the mana
ger. "Ta-ta, I must go to the box
office"
"That was certainly devil of a
time to tell me Of my mistake" said
the Disconnected man-sbout-town, who
rather prided himself at never being
taken aback.
And the newspaper man went away
with bad taste in his mouth, doubt
ing if he had ingratiated himself to
any great extent with either Of his
friends.-Neao York Tribune.

Many of the first settlers OF Illinois
were rude in speech and rough il
manner. Money was scarce Will
them, and service was paid for in pro
duce. Governor B., according to the
New York Ledger, used to illustrate
these Incidents of frontier life by the
following anecdote: One day, when
he was justice of the peace, there came
to his office young man, accompa.
MED by young women.
BE you the squire2' asked the
manly youth.
"Yes, sir"
"Can you tie the knot for us right
away?"
"Yes, SIR
"How much do you charger"

"Will you take your fee in bees

Eyes, if you can't pay cash."
well, go ahead and tie the knot,
and I'll fetch in the wax"
NO." said the squire, thinking
there was a good chance for q little
fun; "bring in the bees wax first, and
Ill marry YOU"
Reluctantly the youth went out to
where was hitched the horse upon
which, Darby and Joan fashion, the
pair had ridden, and brought the wax
in sack. On being weighed its value
was found to be only about half dol
lar.
WALL" said the anxious groom,
site the knot and I'll fetch more wax
next week."
mo, sir; / don't trust; that's against
the rules of this office"
Slowlythe disappointed youth turn
ed to go out, saying:
"Come, Sal; let's go3"
81 say, Mister" answered Sal. with
women's wit, ''can't you marry us
as far as the wax will go?"
Eyes, I can, and will" replied the
squire, laughing; and he did.

tanned that great many of those who
call for q Constitutional Convention do
not know what the provisions of this
Constitution really are, but have been
led to believe that it gives foreigners
privileges which are refused TO Hawaii
ans, which we know to be false. As to
these petitions, the headings were got
up here in Honolulu and sent out into
the country, and except in a few cases
they did not represent the people OF
weight and intelligence outside of Homo
lulu. How many of the Representatives
and Mobiles have received instructions
from their constituents to favor a con-
vention, and how many in cases where
instructions have been received, know
that it comes from the majority and from
the most intelligent? Ny constituents
have sent me no such word, and yet a
great many native Hawaiians voted for
me. One of the native members who
signed the majority report, said not one
word had come to him from his island.
The main difference between the two
constitutions is that the present one en-
trusts the power to Ministers, controlled
by the people, and this is done in such a
way as not to injure the dignity OF the
sovereign. This was quite radical
change, and Hawai;ans objected at first,
but the more intelligent are coming to
the view that the sovereign should
not mix in the politics of the nation.
This is the doctrine which prevails
in the most advanced countries. This is
the first attempt made by the Legislature
alone to obtain a new constitution. II
we establish this precedent, where will
it end? Every succeeding Legislature
can do the same thing. Such defects as
we find in the Constitution can easily be
remedied in accord with Article 81, and
the next Legislature will confirm our
action. There is no grievance which can
not wait three years. A constitutional
convention would necessitate three cleo
tions. 1t would occupy several months.
A new Legislature would have to be
called to change laws which would have
become unconstitutional, would consume
about a year of time, and cost about
$75, 900, and what would be the result to
theseountry? Everything would be up
set. The business of the country would
be paralyzed and demoralized The
business of the Government would be
checked. Money going into improve
ments would seek investment elsewhere.
Can we stand all this? 1t is question
TO be considered gravely whether the
country can stand another such revolu-
ton, for revolution it would be. As
Hawaiian, for l am as true Hawaiian
as any one on the floor of this House,
albeit have white skinny property
interests are here, was born here, and
expect to die here, whatever affects the
country affects mel say as a Hawaiian
that the country cannot stand this.
Noble Widemann moved the commit
tee rise, report progress, and ask leave
to sit again. The report was adopted.
The House then adjourned.
