ROYAL PEW AT KAWAlaRA0.

A meeting of Hawaiian ladies was
held yesterday morning at Kawaia-
hao Church, to consider the matter
of royal pew. Mrs. Haalelea pre-
sided and Rev. II. II. Parker opened
the meeting with prayer. Kawaia-
hao, historically known as the "stone
church" is the place Of worship of
Queen LiliuokaIani. The royal pews
formerly occupied by King Lunallo
are at the rear of the church and
lave been somewhat out Of repair.
The meeting of yesterday selected a
new royal pew for Her Majesty stu
ated on the right front looking from
the pulpit. Twenty-Five dollars was
raised by the ladies present, and the
rest of the amount necessary will be
obtained, doubtless, from other lady
members.

A problem: If one hundred dol
lars drawn from bank by "a" to pay
OBJ will pay twenty-five men, why
will not the same amount pay twen-
ty-fve thousand men, upon the same
logical basis-provided they reside
in the kingdom? If the unfortunate
Mckinley bill, which heaven forfend,
is the first cause OF our alleged fnan-
cial woes, what has the Hawaiian Cab
met to do with the alleged present
hard times? What is the matter with

her Majesty the queen mas shown
herself, since she assembled the
Throne, to be a Queen worthy of the
Hawaiian nation. Her appointments
to office have thus far received the
hearty support Of the nation at large.
She has not, as was frequently fore
told by minor politicians, been dere-
lict to her duty as Queen of Hawaii
mel.
In each and every of the appoint
ments from the throne, Her NJ jesty
has shown she has had an eye single to
the prosperity and development of
the country at large. She has done
more than this. Herappointments have
beer of such character as to dis
arm party and fractional criticism and
to place the Sovereign Head of the
kingdom in an attitude of indepen-
dence, most gratifying to the com
mercial interests and to the subjects
her Kingdom.
The Queens Cabinet receives the
full endorsement of the people of the
Hawaiian Kingdom. Since the late
trOublous times it was necessary a
Cabinet should be chosen represent
ing the people of the kingdom at
large. This was necessary to ex-
clude the arising of numerous poll
tical factions which were waiting
upon the 'spur of the moment to
throw themselves into q formidable
opposition to the real interests OF the
country.
BY the appointment of the present
Ministry Her Majesty the Queen has
taken political time by the forelock
and has virtually relegated to the
quiet of oblivion, for the present at
least, any ambitious schemers, who
might have brought forward plans in
the interest of ambitious factions,
seeking the star of political glory in
political preferment.
The reign of Her Majesty the
Queen has opened under such auspi-
clOus circumstances that it is eX-
ceedingIy gratifying to her people
that all political phases seem to have
taken such a favorable turn as at pre-
sent developed.
The situation, as at present seen,
seems to be one most favorable to
the interests and general welfare of
the kingdom at large. AS such, sus-
tanned by Cabinet receiving the
unqualified endorsement of Her Mai
esty's subjects, there seems to be no
other outlook than one of hope and
rest for Hawaii nei
The politicians of the country have
too often expressed their wishes, and
have endeavored to represent these
by individual notifications of the
vote of the people at the polls. This,
we hope, will hereafter be made an
impossibility by the voters of the
kingdom insisting upon representa-
ton through the Cabinet, as they
have at last happily secured through
the good offices and friendship of
Her Majesty the Queen.

BROAD STREETS.
How Western Cities Have Solved the
Problem of Expensive Paving.
Carpentry and Buildiup

How Western Cities Have Solved the
Problem of Expensive Paving.
Carpentry and Building.
Pavement of city streets are not the smallest
problem which a corporation must face. AS a
rule, cities neglect their streets until the
mileagei is such that the amount to be spent is
so enormous that the tax payers stand aghast
at the proposition of street improvements.
And yet city is measured by her streets, and
she is rated either as enterprising or unenter-
prising, progressive or unprogressive, as her
streets may appear. few years ago it was
the boast of certain Western cities that they
had extremely wide streets and most magnifi-
cent avenues. But as these same cities grew
In population and In commercial Importance
1t began to dawn upon the tax payers that
broad streets were a source of great expense
and that there was something else than glory
connected with them. They have to be paved
aud maintained. 1t is one thing, however, to
pave street 60 or rs feet wide, and quite
another thing to pave street double that
width. One or two Western cities have made
changes in the width of streets in order to save
expense in this regard, while others have sue
ceeded in avoiding part of the expense of
paving broad streets while at the same time
beautifying them by running park plot down
the centre of the space with occasional foun-
tains between the trees and shrubbery. Still
Others, where wider streets prevail, have run
two strips of park down the space with rows
of trees in the centre and also a. row of trees
at each curbstone. Examples of this plan are
to be seen in several places, notably in Colum-
bus, Ohio The effect is pleasing in the ex-
treme, and is perhaps the best Interpretation
of the broad-street problem that has yet been
found. The houses on either side of such
thoroughfares have ample light and air, there
is abundant space for vehicles, for there are
three stretches of roadway, and yet the width
to be paved and kept in repair is not unreason-
ably great.

THE ODD CoQUINA ROCK.
Peculiar COnglOmerate Composed AL

Peculiar COnglOmerate Composed AL
most Entirely of Shells.
Natures Realm.
In many instances these shells are in
nearly perfect condition, but generally the con-
glomeration is mass Of disintegrated sub
stances; sand, gravel and crushed shells, held
together by natures cement of the long ago,
and which is not now manufactured. In Inany
parts of Florida this rock is to be found
plentifully about the coast and, to an extent
inland. The buildings of the early settlements
were composed OF the coquina and about St.
Augustine many still remain as evidence of
Spanish enterprise. Old Fort Marion which
was begun as early as 1868, is a massive
structure, made entirely of this rock
AT Eau Gallie, on Indian River, condition
exists which has not as yet been satisfactorily
explained. The bottom near the shore is Of
coquina rock, and for long distance perfora-
tions may be seen beneath the surface OF the
water, and at times the water forms in little
eddies over these miniature wells They vary
in diameter from six to eighteen inches and
extend down to quite distance.
Much speculation has resulted from the find
ing of these singular shafts, but the most reas-
enable theory is that they are places left va
cant by decomposed palmettos which were
once growing ON dry ground. The land sunk
and was finally encroached upon by the sea; in
due time the sand, gravel and disintegrated
she'll substance was borne In by the action of
the waves, filing the space between the trees,
and to depth differing in various localities
1t is well known that the cabbage palmetto is
