Burnham May Lose His Head.

The council is inclined to severely
censure Mr.. Burnham, and there were
rumors around the big domed building
that he would lose his head. From the
other side comes the intelligence that
the council had been advised of the un.
safe condition OF the building by Chief
Murphy and his assistant, James Fitz-
patrick, who lost his life. 1t is said that
they directed joint letter apprising
him OF the shell-like construction of the
building, and OF the unsafe arrange
ment OF the fireshaft inside the plas-
tered tower. But. in spite Of this. IL IL
alleged, that the council in the endeav.
ors to reduce the operating expenses of
the fair. less than two weeks ago or
dered reduction of the guard.
Cannot Place the Blame.
tits considered by some that this mat
ter cannot be settled by the council of ad-
ministration, and that the final placing
of censure will be decided by higher
body-prcbably the national commits
sion, acting on the authority OF the
United S ates government. The council
has heard of the story and has used it
70 shield itself. They will probably
erder the removal of Director of Works
Burnham. the accredited assistant OF
Director General Davis. Mr.. Burn
ham will, should this occur, no doubt
appeal to the director general, and he,
as creature of the national commits
sion. may order Mr.. Burnham to
remain.
he council of administration and
local directors agreed to make Colonel
Davis director general de facto. but the
national commission has not yet
acquiesced i'm this move, and here ID

Reclsiming Old Rubber.

Crude rubber is worth from 40 to rs
cents per pound, and yet pound Of hose

the art OF reclaiming or recovering rub.

Of about 8 cents per pound. There are
several large factories in the country de.
voted solely to this purpose. and great

small scale at the seat Of the production
of new goods.
These old goods are placed In large
tanks at the place Of reclaiming. A 80.

The hour before falling asleep at
night is one of the most important Of
the twenty-four. The reading or con-
versation of that hour usually takes a
deeper hold on the minds than that Of
any other. Long passages may be
easily memorized by reading them over
carefully several times during the last
waking hour. They appear to imbed
themselves in the mind while it rests in
sleep. The impressions parents leave
on the minds Of their children at night
have much to do with the formation OF
their characters. Punishments inflict-
ed at that season sometimes loosen the
bonds which bind the hearts of children
to their homes, while kind words and
affectionate counsels given at that hour
often prove SAVIOR Of life unto life.

Following are directions for making
a good wife unhappy: See your wife as
seldom as possible. II she is warm
hearted and cheerful in temper, or If,
after days or weeks absence, she
meets you with a smiling face and in an
affectionate manner, be sure to look
coldly upon her, and answer her with
monosylables. If she forces back her
tears, and is resolved to look cheerful,
sit down and cape in her presence, till
she is fully convinced Of your indiffer-
ence. Never think you have anything
to do to make her happy, but that her
happiness is to flow from gratifying
your caprices; and when she has done
all woman can do, be sure you do not
appear gratified. Never take an inter-
est in any of her pursuits; and II she
asks your advice, make her feel that
she is troublesome and impertinent. II
she attempts to rally you good-humored-
ly on any of your peculiarities, never
join in the laugh, but frown her into
silence. II she has faults (which, with
out doubt, she will have, and perhaps
may be ignorant of, never attempt with
kindness to correct them, but continual
ly obtrude upon her ears: "What q
good wife Mr.. Smith hasg" ''HOw hap
py Mr.. Smith is with his wife!" "Any
man would be happy with such wife,!
In company, never seem TO know you
have wife: treat all her remarks with
Indifference, and be very affable to every
other lady. II you follow these direc'
tions, you may be certain Of an obediesu
and hedYt-br0ken wife.

The Flag Again.

1t seems that the American fac
was raised in Honolulu on ques.
tionable authority, the American
government not having directly
authorized the act. 1t seems also
that the American flag has been
lowered at Honolulu on question
able authority. Mr.. Blount, who
has not been appointed by the
President and confirmed by the
Senate to represent the United
States in Hawaii, virtually super
seding the regularly appointed and
confirmed L. s. minister at that
point. An irregularity which re-
suits in the lowering Of the flag is
more apt TO be censured by the
American public, which has its
sentimental side, than one which
results in unfolding it to the Ha-
waiian breezes.-[Wash. Star.

THE publication of Commission
er Blount's instructions is. severe
blow to the political tactics of the
ex-queen's following. For some
time it has been known that the
royalist cause has been bolstered
principally by allegations made
upon the Commissioners power and
instructions to restore the monarchy.
The whole mainstay of the royal
list cause consequently falls to the
ground with the publication of the
document Itself. Within the last
fortnight the ex-queen actually
told prominent native citizen OF
Maui to 60 home and continue
to support her cause, as she would
be restored to the throne by the
middle Of July. Just so long as
the contents of the Commissioners
instructions remained unknown
the royalists were enabled to hold
the natives to their cause with
hopes and promises which they
knew had no foundation in fact.

Information on Railroad Fares
for Honolulu Tourists.
Travel to the great Worlds Fair
at Chicago has fairly set in, and
contrary to general expectation
people from all parts seem to pre-
fer travelling on their own account
in preference to joining excursion
parties at reduced rates.
The rates between San Francisco
and Chicago have been finally set.
tied by the different railroads in.
terested, and are as follows:
The frst-class round-trip fare
has been placed at 800. This is
an unlimited ticket, but does not
include sleeping berth or anything
but the transportation.
The second-class or tourist ex
cursion ticket offers much better
inducements to intending travellers
as it costs but 5000 for the single
trip. but includes sleeping accom-.
modations, etc, in second-class
coaches. The traveller, by pur.
chasing this so-called second-clas:
ticket, will save some SIS on 6
single trip, although, of course, he
will be limited to q particular train
route and berth.
The best thing for Honolulu
tourists to do on arriving in Sar
Francisco is TO quietly make the
rounds of the ticket brokers' office:
and make as good a bargain fol-
themselves as possible. In this
manner there are many quiet cuts
made on prevailing rates, and
some fve-dollar pieces may be
saved By pursuing this method
AT any rate the intending traveller
should take his time about pur
chasing his ticket to Chicago.
Third class tickets may also be
purchased from $25 up. These
tickets are good for berths on emf
grant sleeping cars, bedding, etc.
being furnished; also hot water
for making tea or coffee en- route
These cars are attached to the
ordinary express trains and arr
quite comfortable for those of linn
tied means who do not object t.
travelling on third class ticket.
Special round trip ticket:
from Honolulu to Chicago may
also be obtained in connection
with the steamers of the Oceanic
and Union lines, rates for which

POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS.

At present it would be useless to
speculate as TO the causes which
have determined Commissioner
Blount to publish his instructions
from the state department at
Washington under which he is
acting. That he has reached a
point in his Investigations which
justifies his action, none viii
doubt. That there is more or less
significance in the publication st
the present state of affairs, must
be admitted by all accustomed to
studying the course of inter
national diplomacy. In any event
the publication viii serve TO throw
light upon many points doubtful
heretofore, and will dash some OF
the baseless hopes and wilder
theories, regarding Commissioner
Blount's intentions and alleged in
structions, which have passed cur
rent in royalist circles from the
moment the United States steamer
Rush entered the harbor.

An incident of the raising of the
American flag in California, SINH
lar to the raising Of the flag in
Honolulu, has been recalled by the
early settlers there. In 1912, Com
modore Jones of the U. S. navy,
under the impression that the Unit
ed States were at war with Mexico,
took forcible possession of Monte
rev, hoisted the stars and stripes
and proclaimed California a terri
tory of the United States. Dis
corning his mistake the following
day, he hauled down the flag and
made such apology as the circum-
stances would admit. \ few years
later, however, the flag was raised
again and remained up.
