HOW TO ELECT THEM.
rms REFERS ro r8E NEW couS.
CILMEN.
MIR. q. u. Ripley Comes Dat with Rep
resentative Proposal which the
''Star" Endorses.

EDITOR STAR: Permit me TO offer
suggestion in regard to the proposed in
crease of the Advisory Council to a
membership of twenty-four. / believe
the change to be desirable one and in
the interests of good government, but
the method OF selecting the ten new
members by mass meeting to be called
for the purpose, am sure is open to
serious objections. The names of the
ten men to be voted upon, must by this
method be selected by II small caucus
and the masses have no voice in the
matter. The names are read
out and they are Endorsed with
shout and thus become the
so-caled "choice of the people," but
in fact they are nothing of the sort.
They are the choice of few men who
selected them in advance and had their
names ready for the occasion.
Ii it is advisable to enlarge the mem
bership of the Advisory Council it is that
all classes may feel that they are repre-
scented therein and by men of their own
choosing. To bring about this result
would it not be better to proceed some
what after this method:
Provide a voting place-say the An
nexation club rooms--announce that the
polls will be open from seven t.
nine o'clock for five night,
that all classes may have chance to
vote, the ballot box to be in charge of /,
committee of five who shall act a,
judges, and every man who is and hai
been loyal TO the Government undel
which the new Councilmen are to serve
shall have the privilege of depositing {
ballot with the names of the ten mel
whom he wants elected as Councilmel
written thereon, the voters name beinl
checked as he votes TO prevent repeat
ing. After the ten voting hours hav,
passed the ballots to be canvassed by thu
Judges, and the ten names receivin,
the highest number of votes to be de
clared as the choice of the loyal citizen
and those names sent to the Council fo
election or ratification by that body, ant
there can be no doubt as to their actor
upon list of names selected in thu
manner indicated, nor can there be an,
doubt but that the men thus electe'
would be the actual representatives 0
the rank and file of the supporters o
the Provisional Government
Respectfully yours,
G. B. RIPLEY.

THE AGENCY Is CHANGED.
HACKFELD AND CO. HAVE THE
HAWAIIAN COMMERCIAL.
1t Is Taken From VIM. G.. Irwin g. Co. BY
"The Boys'-They Have Cut Loose
From Colonel Claus.

The STAR noted last Saturday that by
the victory OF Rudolph and Apolph over
Spreckels pere, the control of the vast
concern known as the Hawaiian Com
mercial Company had passed to the
brothers. Rudolph Spreckels arrived by
the same steamer that brought the
news. He is now visiting plantations
and sugar mills on Maui.
Since his advent in Honolulu Rudolph
Spreckels has quietly made move that
has had rather an earthquake effect
on the local business world. He has
transferred entire the agency of the Ha-
waiian Commercial and Sugar Company
from the old firm of VIM. q. Irwin &
Company to the old house of
Hackfeld & Co. Before Rudolph Spreck-
els left the coast, he and his
brother set up new San Francisco
office for the Hawaiian Commercial
Company. The old headquarters we've
in the building on Market street occu-
pied by the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany and having door like the one at
Twin & Co.'S, worked "Claus
Spreckels." The new offices are on the
same street, but are across the way.
One OF the busiest thoroughfares in the
world now separates the old gentleman
and the affairs and books of the Hawa-
ian Commercial Company.
The Hawaiian Commercial Company
owns four mills and great plantation
on Maui, near Kahului. This is one OF
the Oldest sugar concerns on the Islands,
and second in production only to Maka-
well, which has new ground. Hackfeld
& Co. will hereafter handle all the bust
ness here instead of w. G.. Irwin & Co

proud of the Honolulu brake shown at

be taken TO the village of islanders by
the next Australia. This brake was con-
structed entirely at the works OF the
Hawaiian Carriage Company. on Queen

weighs less than $50 lbs, and is finished
with the finest leather. The workman.
ship is simply superb and while the brake
goes to the Hawaiian village it could
safely be put beside the displays Of the
great carriage companies. Features are
the fourteen-spoke wheel with wooden
hubs, giving electricity in that quarter.
The spring shafts assist in reducing the
horse motion. The hinged seat is some
thing unknown in the United States.
This affords safe and convenient means
OF mounting and dismounting. The
model on which the exposition brake is
built is the one used in manufacturing
the vehicle for this and the other islands
and for Japan. The brake is more
common to Hawaii than the phaeton to
the United States. 1t is light, service
able in every way and easily kept in re-
pair,

What the world needs among other
things Is more of those people who possess
the invaluable charm of happy disposi-
ton. Who doesn't enjoy coming In con-
tact with such persons' They carry ra-
dance Of soul with them that seems to
affect the very atmosphere. Their tastes.
habits, views and opinions may differ from
our own in every way, and yet we are I'M
avoidably drawn toward them and fasci-
mated by them. They possess such pleas
antness of disposition, such sweetness of
temper, such gentleness Of spirit, that
they become endeared to you while you
may differ with them. Some are at great
advantage in the very outstart by having
as natural gift this sweetness of soul.
And surely this Is a most desirable gift,
a great gift to any man no matter what
may be the sphere In which he moves.
All appreciate the presence of sunny
temper, happy spirit and a frank, candid
manner.-Rev. w. G. Thrall.

A MAP OF THE HARBOR.
JUST ISSUED BY THE UNITED
STATES HYDROGRAPHERs.
A Valuable Print-Close SOundings-
Land and Water Marks-Work
of Lieutenant Moore.

A copy OF the new map of Honolulu
harbor has been posted at the Hawaiian
News Depot by Frank II. Dodge OF the
Surveyor Generals department. The
publication is by the United States
photographic corps and has the approval
of Gen. Sigsbee. Soundings were made
here last May by detail from the Bos-
ton in charge OF Lieutenant Moore, an
experienced and most capable engineer.
The original map by Lieutenant Moore
is in the records OF this Government, at
the Survey-General office. To prepare
the same 10000 soundings were made.
This work, with measurements, required
six weeks. Lieutenant Moore and his
men were out in their boats early and
late every day. Wires and lines were
placed and soundings made in every
twenty-five feet Of harbor area, from
the waters edge to the seaway.
In the published chart the fig
ures on depth are for each
100 feet of area. The printed map is
clear and comprehensive. 1t is readable
as the simplest diagram, and has been
studied all day. Very few criticisms
are made. The work seems to have
been accomplished without error. Every
point of interest in the shore line IL
shown, every dock indicated and the
reef carefully traced. The buoys arr
noted and the channel permanently
marked. Then appears the old batter!
near Waikiki for which the guns hav'
lately been removed, the various fishing
grounds and bathing places. The quaran
tine station has space as well as tn
old immigration receiving station, thu
marine railway and the Oahu Railwa.
and Land Company's plant. The firs
charts of the harbor were made year
and years ago. This one, besides beinl
accurate, is right up to date and it
value will be readily recognized.

LECTURE ON ROME.

Lessons and Legacies of the One
Time Empress of the World.
At the Central Union church last Sum
day evening Rev. DIR. Hyde delivered
thirty-minute lecture on Rome. In
sketchy, entertaining manner he re-
viewed the rise and fall of the one-time
queen city OF the world. Its decline was
brought about by class distinction and
the luxurious living Of the preferred sets
of citizens. To this day much is being
learned of the history OF Rome. A new
building on principal street recently
collapsed. Most OF it disappeared in
a pit over which it had been placed. In
this excavation there were found the re-
mains of $4,000 human beings. They
had been thus buried during an cpl
demic. DIR. Hyde concludes that the
greatest lesson given us by the Romans
is in the science of organization.

CHINESE NEW YEAR.
An Approaching Festival that will be of
Huge Proportions.

An Approaching Festival that will be of
Huge Proportions.
February 9th is the date OF the Chi
nese New Years day. Already the soci-
cites, firms and individuals OF the Hon
olulu colony have outlined an elaborate
celebration program. Fireworks, sweet
meats, decorations and printed prayers
were ordered months ago. The Velocity
brought heavy cargo OF material for
the ceremonies. John will feast, make a
heap OF noise, propitiate the gods, pay
his debts, make peace with his fellow
men, probably adopt good resolutions
and altogether start off on another year
in orthodox style.
The celebration will continue several
days. The poi industry will be temper
arily paralyzed and the washee-washee
business will be touched with symptoms
Of paresiD. The big time will not be con
fined to the city. The plantation coolit
must have his time also.

A complaint of the most serious tone
was received this morning at the Interior
Department from the isolated island of
Niihau. Kapahee who for several years
has been the grantor of marriage licens-
es for that district, died Not a license
had issued from the office for months.
Upon the demise of Kapahee, no less
than three couples desired to unite for
life without delay. Here was fine pi-
likia. There were tears and perhaps
curses.
The head men of the community rose
to the occasion. They assembled and
built letter to their friend Capt. King,
Minister of the Interior. j. d. Kali
was recommended for the vacancy. A
commission for Kali will go forward by
the first mail.

Penalty Put Upon sheu Tin, an Illicit
Opium Dealer.

Sheu Tin, an unlicensed opium vendor
felt the hand of the law fall upon him
heavily to-day. When the evidence
was all in Judge Robertson fixed the
penalty at six months in Oahu prison
and $500 fine, Sheu Tin was led away
in tears. This was one of Captain An
drews' cases. The officer used Chinese
informer and caught the suspect in the
act of selling lichee shell filled with
opium. Two small boxes of loaded
lichee shells were found in the room,
also an empty half-pound tin. The only
defense offered by Sheu Tin was that he
owned no opium and knew nothing of
the sale he was making when arrested.
He is quite prominent Chinaman and
others say he can pay his fine when the
term of imprisonment has expired.
