Stampeded by q Bee.

a woman sitting in an elevated train
car quietly got up and stood in the aisle.
After she had been standing there for
about half a minute everybody began to
look to see why she did it. Then they dis
covered that large bumblebee had taken
possession and was sailing around con-
tentedly in the vacant space.
The woman near by looked anxious,
and those at the other end of the car looked
amused. Several of the men looked as
though they would like to do something,
but did not know just what.
Then the bee concluded to move on and
try some other seats. In less than another
half minute every one on that side of the
car had vacated and was standing in the
aisle
Some of the people looked silly, others
looked annoyed, and others had a broad
grin, evidently enjoying the fun of the sit
uation. ----
One man took of his hat TO strike at
the bee.
Don't try to fight himr' shrieked an
other. You'll get stung sure"
A tall, dignifed looking woman in black
satin executed a deliberate Delsartean
curve at that moment to evade the bee, and
a fat man stepped back on a small woman's
corns.
Then a stout, good natured looking
man, in tall gray hat, who had been sit
ting on the other side, quietly got up and
opened one of tse closed blinds, and Mr.
Zee sailed out with the utmost composure
No one said anything but the woman
who had first stood up, and she thanked
the man in the gray hat right out loud and
with considerable emphaSis.-New York

Ill Tempered.

Sir Francis Nicholson, who was sent
over by the English government some goo
years ago as lieutenant governor of New
England, left behind him a reputation for
bad temper.
He refused to consider the advice of mem
bers CT his own council and abused them
even in session. His oaths and threats
could be heard even at a distance from the
council room.
lone might as well pretend to describe a
hurri cane to one that never saw it as to
think to describe the brutality and savage
ness of his passions" quotes The Magazine
of American History in discussing him,
but the cleverest bit of Characterization
comes from an Indians lips. While he
had command of the army Nicholson fell
into one of those fits of rage wherein he al
most seemed to lose command of his rea-
son.
The general is drunk" said the Indian
to an officer.
No" was the reply, ''he never drinks
any strong liquor"
Il do not mean that he is drunk with
rum" said the Indian. HE was bora

What's In a Nance

The custom of giving designating name
TO a saloon, following the practice of the
English innkeepers, has not entirely died
out in New York, but it is certainly under
going n decline Now nearly every saloon
in this part of the country bears the name
of the proprietor over the door. and that is
all.
In the south and west, and perhaps more
particularly in the extreme southwest, the
custom is maintained with full force. In
Texas the traveller is in every town or
city confronted with such names as the
Lone Star, Three Brothers, White Elephant
and the like. The eternal fitness of a name
used to designate a saloon, however, is no
where better eXempliied than in Santa Fe,
where a proprietor, according to a recent
traveller. has christened his establishment

How often it has been said by
the croakers that there is no
business, everything is dead,
times are hard, and everything
is going to the bad here in
Honolulu, but the Cali
fornia Feed Co. are not built
that way; we say business is
good and getting better every
month. And to prove what we
say we have had to take larger
and more commodious ware
houses. We have just COM
pleted arrangements with Mr..
j. F. Colburn, whereby he
gives up his old stand, corner
Queen and Nuuanu streets.
We take possession on Novem-
Der 18th. Our old place at Leleo
is too small for our fast increas-
ing business, hence the change.
We expect the Hawaiian
bark Mauna Ala to arrive
here again IN few days
with her fourth full cargo
of hay and. grain bought
by our Mr.. j. n. Wright who
will arrive on the bark. We
prssfer to select our merchan-
disc ourselves than have
others do it, which means
that we get better goods at a
less price.
We thank our many friends
for their liberal patronage for
the past three years, and hope
by strict attention to a bust
ness we thoroughly understand
to merit the patronage of as
many more.
We intend to keep a large,
we'll selected stock of the
very best hay and grain to be
had in the California market,
and we are going to sell it.

The marine engineer and the naval archi-

The result was one which thoughtful
men had long known to be inevitable.

doned every healthy and saving tradi-
ton of the monarchy and were giving
themselves over to heathenish prac-
tees which would have soon left in
Hawaii nothing worth saving.
''If the revolution had not come in
1913 it void have come in '94. The logic
of events made it irresistible. Even
those good loyalists, Cleveland and
Gresham, cannot put life into dead

"Mr. Gresham says the revolution
was the result of a conspiracy be-
tween Mr.. Stevens and n few Ameri-
can citizens. When did the conspi-
racy take place? Mr.. Stevens and
Captain Wiltse were away on another
island when the revolution began.
They found the town in a state of rev.
olution when they came back. If Nr.
Stevens was in a conspiracy it must
have been with the queen, for it was
the queens mad attempt to proclaim
a new constitution and nothing else
which put an end TO the monarchy.

SIR. STEVENS a MAGICIAN.

"Was it Mr.. Stevens who packed
more men into the great mass meet
ing which brought together more
white people than had ever been as
sembled under one roof in Hawaii be-
fore? What sort of charm did Mr..
Stevens possess which united all sec
tions, all factions in the community
in unity of thought and purpose
which had never been seen in Hawaii?
If Mr.. Stevens is the author of the
hatred of oppression and dislike that
most Anglo Saxons feel at having their
rights trampled on, then he certainly
Is the author of the revolution. In
that case he is a greater man, certain
ly, than even Mr.. Cleveland or Mr..
Gresham.
"Mr. Gresham says that the Queens
Government yielded because Mr.. Ste
vens recognized the Provisional Gov
eminent when it was only a govern
ment on paper. AS to that can only
say that / was present in the council
chamber at the time the correspond
ence with the Ministers of the deposed
Queen was being carried on and this
is the first time that L have ever heard
of it. Neither Mr.. Gresham nor Mr..
Blount, believe, were present. Mr..
Gresham says further that the Queen
surrendered not to the Provisional
government, OUT 10 Ine OHIleu States,
and that the terms of her surrender
show this. She surrendered under pro
test What difference did it make to
the Provisional Government? They
could not keep her from surrendering
under protest. They wanted her to
surrender, and she did. She laid down
her arms and ammunition,g gave up the
palace, the barracks and the police
station. Her guard was disbanded and
she retired to a private house which,
the Provisional Government-not the
United States-gave ner for q resi-
dence. She surrendered, not to the
superior force of the United States, but
because her adherents did not care to
face the rifles of the Hawaiian' volun-
teers.
