THAT'S WHAT SOME OF
THE LADIES RE
MARKED.
Members of the Women'S League
Explain Why MIR. Blouut
Is Here.

The postponed business meeting
of the Hawaiian Women's Patriotic
League was held yesterday morn
ing at Arion Hall commencing at
10 o'clock.
The regular President, Mrs. F.
w. Macfarlane, having failed to
turn up, Vice President Mrs. Jas.
Campbell presided over the meet
ing. The attendance was as usual
large.
The secretary, Mrs. Grace Ka-
halewai, also followed the example
of the President and staid away.
Mrs. NJ. Nakuina was blamed
for giving out the proceedings of
previous meeting, and so Mrs.
Chas. K. Stillman was voted by
reclamation to assume the tempo
rary functions of secretary. The
minutes of last Wednesday were
read and approved.
A long discussion soon followed
on the much-debated memorial to
U. S. Commissioner Jas. H. Blount.
The former one drawn up by the
President was rejected for failing
to mention the name of Liliuoka-
lani.
Several lady orators COX the
floor, debating as to ta.e way and
how to write a suita ole memorial
for presentation to the Commits
sioner. The one drawn up by the
President seemed to be agreeable
to some, but the same old women
renewed their objections for several
reasons. One was because Liliuo-
kalani's name was not written at
the top, and the other was that the
language of the memorial urging
the Commissioner to press the
United States Government to re-
store Queen Liliuokalani on the
throne of Hawaii was not impera-
tive enough. The old women re.
quested that the memorial should
contain expressions demanding the
Commissioner to put back the
Queen on the throne.
At this point some of the execu
tive officers endeavored to explain
that the Commissioner was here
only to investigate, and had nj
authority to put the Queen back or
the throne; the U. S. Government
was the only authority that coul6
do it. The old women claimed
that the Commissioner was here
for the purpose of putting back
the Queen, for the U. S. Govern
ment knew everything concerning
the revolution by this time.
| In order to please them, the me
mortal was cast aside and Score
tary Stillman was authorized t,
draw up suitable memorial will
the words "Queen Liliuokalani" in
serted.
The meeting adjourned at noon
There was no day fixed for present
ing the memorial.

The Executive and Advisory Coun-
ellis held a meeting Friday after
noon at 2 Pm. The minutes of the
preceding meeting were read and
approved.
The Judiciary Committee pre-
sented a report in favor of bills re
commencing them to passage.
A discussion arose as to the pro
priety of the Government doing SO
much legislating. Mr.. Cecil Brown
and the Attorney General took the
ground that the legislation in ques
ton was necessary.
The report was adopted.
The Attorney General introduced
bill to repeal the % cents tax on
playing cards. Referred 10 the in
dietary Committee.
The Judiciary Committee reported
that the Holomua was Incorporated
under the law Of 1890, which does
not require the name Of tbe editor to
be published.
Mr.. Emmeluth said the Star was
obliged to publish the EDITORS name.
Attorney General Smith said the
Star was incorporated under the old
law.
Report received, and the Attorney
General ordered to report as to what
| action should be taken in the case of
the Holomua.

ported favorably OF numbering the
streets, with amendment as to the
amounts to be charged, SO cents and
81, for residences and business
houses respectively. Laid on the
table to await bill on the subject.
Mr.. Damon again objected to this
kind of legislation, which imposed
taxes on the people. They wished a
permanent form of government ests-
blished first. He wished to make
the people feel the necessity of an
nexation.
Mr.. Emmeluth said that it was the
first duty of the Council to consider
annexation and minor matter after
wards.
At quarter to 8 o'clock the Coun
ell went into executive session.

Fortunately the victim was not

in script as nearly like print AS he could
make it. His father, from first to last, In
sisted that John had poetical gift and was
deeply disappointed whom his son gave up
writing verses to plunge into art criticism.
Doubtless 1t was tho knowledge of
his fathers ambition in his behalf which
led the young man as an Undergraduate at
Oxford to try for three successive years to
win the Nowdi0ate prize. He won it at the
third trial, and his prize poem can hardly
be called more unuromising than Tenny-
sons Timbuctoo." Rut he attempted lit

THE GIRL AND THE COW.

She Saves the Animal From the Coils OF
an Anaconda.
GREENSBORO. N. c.. May 14.-Last year a
monster snake was seen in the neighboE-
hood of Donnelrs mill in this county, and
it's length was variously estimated by sew
sral parties who saw il at flom eight to
fifteen feet. An attempt was made to kill
IL, but it won't into . thioket on the banks
Of the creek.
Nothing more was seen Of this monster
snake until Friday. when Miss Ida l.. Rob
inson saw q COW. the property of Abner
Schoolfield, down and struggling. and went
to see what was the matter. Imagine he1
sur prise to see coiled around the neck OF
the COW an immense snake soms four inches
in diameter and at least ten feet in length.
The COW was being ohoked to death, and
the braye girl took hold of the snake with
both hands, and being strong girl, she
with great difficulty got it loose. or perhaps
frightened it until 1t uncoilsd itself and
crawled into the thioket.
After while tho COW, with aid from the
lady, got upou its feet and was driven
home. The snake was of brown color,
and showed NO signs OF striking and biting,
as 10 common to all native snakes, hence ii
il believed to be an anaconda, which has
made its escape from some menakerie.
