VISIT THE SCHOOLS.

Under the rules, parentsand citizens
have right to visit the public schools
during their session to inspect their
condition and system Of management
and get clear idea Of the results Sc
cured in the education Of children. It
is in this waysthat elasticity Of public
education is made to extend in many
directions without straining its opera
ton, and BY which parents and citi-
zens are informed to what their child
rem are made subject and what tax
payers contribute to support. The
more the citizens visit the public
schools the greater their assured EN-
cheney, because the careful teacher
will, under such circumstances, always
have the children under her charge in
control to admit inspection any time
during days session. There can be
no fixing up for such visitors, for there
is no telling when door is opened to
admit them, and therefore the school
room is kept in condition and scholars
in discipline to receive visitor at any
hour Of the morning or afternoon.

coon IN ALL RESPECTS.

Pat Maloney and his excellent COM
pany appeared at the Opera House last
Saturday evening. A fine audience
greeted them, and if their hearty
laughter and continual applause is
evidence of a good performance, then
good performance was given. The
performance opened with the amusing
sketch, "Doughnuts," and from that
time until the fall Of the curtain on
"Jerry's Visit" was one continual
laugh. Pat himself is the life of the
show, and is ably supported by
the other members Of the company.
The show is free from all coarseness,
and was good in all respects. We
hope we may have the pleasure Of
hearing them again in the near future.

L..
In the Collector, publication devo-
ted to attorneys-At-lsw. IS the follow
ing synopsis Of the married woman's
law Of West Virginia, compiled by
Merrick 4 Smith. Of Parkersburg, and
states tersely the scope Of power to
contract or do business allowed in this
State to married women:
First.--A married woman cannot
become the security, indorser or gran
tor Of her husband, or another person,
for any debt or purpose. Any such
contract is now absolutely void.
Second. She cannot do business by
an agent.
Third. She cannot do business as
the partner Of her husband, or Of any
other person.
Fourth.-She may, in her own name,
but not by an agent, carry on for her
own use and benefit any trade or bus
mess. But notice that this will only
bind the property used and invested
in such business. It will not bind her
personally. And if she owns other
property it viii not be bound, unless
she charge it with the payment Of the
debt by writing executed, aclnowl-
edged and recorded in the deed records,
and then not in the sense of a lien on
the property.
Fifth. Debts created to buy or inn
prove real or personal property, or to
pay off liens thereon, may be made a
charge on her separate estate by the
execution and recording Of such a pa.
per as we have already mentioned.
Debts for wages Of a laborer or do
mestic, or for herself and children, will
bind her estate without such paper.
Sixth-0nly such property as she
has when the debt is created will be
bound for its, payment.

PICKLE AS 4 mARrIssBURG BELLE

Meteroligists agree that April will
be as rough a month as has been
March throughout, and that during
the month there will be frequent re-
currences Of cold weather, calculated
to retard the early growth Of vegeta-
tom and that little Of what is called
the balm Of spring viii be experienced
until the beginning Of May. This will
not be good news to gardeners and
truckers, whose work in consequence
will be checked, and whose crops as a
result will not be profitable. In the
meantime, sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof. Spring may assert
its perennial influence, and the wealth
er prophets are entirely wrong as to
their forecast of the month.

The KOna Did III.

The late Kona storm has made
a pretty complete wreck of the new
road around Diamond Head. The
water has dug SO wide a ditch on the
mauka side of the road, that there
is not much left of the latter. In
two places the road is washed away
and is impossible. The road is
built without any concession to
in the world, and whenever a deep
narrow gulch was passed, it
crossed the mouth of it like a dam.
The dam, however, was not strong
enough, and the result is that in
one place the road is traversed by
a chasm of twenty feet in depth.

A large number of merchants
both in the wholesale and retail
line met yesterday morning TO con-
slider the advisability Of changing
the present quarterly system of
payment to a monthly one. This
movement has been on foot for
some time and the meeting would
have been called sooner only the
leaders were waiting for Il copy of
the constitution and bylaws of the
San Francisco Board of Trade so
they would have n proper founda-
ton to commence work on.
The meeting yesterday was call
ed to order by w w. Hall who
briefly stated the business in hand.
Mr.. Il. X. Walker and Mr.. Geo.
p. Castle were elected temporary
president and secretary respec
lively.
A number Of important extracts
sufficient to prove the advantages
of Il Board Of Trade were taken
from the San Francisco documents
and were read aloud to the gentle
men present.
Several retail dealers gave their
views regarding the quarterly sys-
tenn now in vogue, and urged the
merchants to form an organization
that would do away with that Gus
tom and compel people to pay their
bills monthly.
A motion was put, and with
practically a unanimous vote, the
merchants present decided to form
an organization on the same lines
as explained in the paper read
before the meeting. A committee
of five were elected by ballot to
draft a constitution and bylaws to
govern the organization. They ex-
pect to have their work completed
in about one weeks time, when
another meeting will be held to
form a permanent Honolulu Board
of Trade.
Messrs. F. M. Swanzy, T. F.
Lansing, H. Davis, w. w. Hall,
and J. F. Hackfeld are the COM
mittee on organization.
