 GurttRm, Q. T., Nov. 9e. The Fort supply military reservation, which has just been turned over to the secretary of the interior and opened to white settle ment, is located in Woodward county in the extreme northwest end of the Chero- kee strip. It comprises 79 miles square. or 10000 acres. The country in most parts is rough and broken and given up to cattle ranches. One cattle ranch is 20 miles square, inclosed by fence.
 The Federal troops were removed from Fort Supply two months ago. The reservation contains some of the finest officers buildings in the west. with a complete sewerage system and modern appointments. The usual rush by homesteaders will probably be made for the new sEl Dorado"

AT INDEPENDENCE PARK.
ENJOYABLE DANCE GIVEN LAST
EVENING.
A Number of Young Society People
Participate-TheQ uintette Club in
Attendance, Etc.

Terpsichore presided at Independence
Park Wednesday evening to the high
pleasure of forty young society people.
Owing to the extremely short notice the
affair was not patronized in a degree
warranted by the excellent arrange
ments made by the committee.
Though the entertainment was a
private affair, large number of invita-
tons were issued and preparations had
been made for full hundred guests.
And they would have been there but
for the lateness of the receipt of invi-
tations. However, everything went off
in a most pleasant manner. The Quin-
tette Club was in attendance and dis
coursed beautiful music. The singing
was excellent.
Neat dressing rooms for ladies and
gentlemen had been fitted up, and light
refreshments were served in the dining
hall Dancing was OF course the prin-
cipal featurs of the evening. The pro
gram was very complete and was par
ticipated in by all present.
The pavilion was appropriately dec
Grated with American and Hawaiian
flags. and was Illuminated by japanese
lanterns. The dance ended about II

A Personally Conducted Excursion to
that Famous Spot.
Mr.. Frank Ii. Hoogs, the editor of the
Paradise of the Pacific, has inaugurated
an excursion to the Volcano. 1t will
start on the Kinau on August Bird, and
will return on the same steamer August
18th. Mr.. Hoogs intends to accompany
the party himself, and will see that all
the creature comforts are provided for
his passengers.
The Volcano is more active now than
t will probably be for a long while.
Usually, after a collapse like the one
which recently occurred, Madame Pele
exerts herself for short while, and
then subsidies for number of months.
AT present, the exertion is taking place,
and those who wish to see Hawaii's
wonder at its height cannot do better
than to take advantage of this person
ally-conducted excursion, when, for the
same price as is usually charged, every
thing and little more will be done for
the comfort of those who make the
trip.
The Wilder Steamship Company has

The President seconded the resolution
but wanted to know ii the committee
should be appointed from the Councils.
Mr.. Emmeluth replied that that was
not necessary.
Mr.. Ena thought it was not right and
even foolish to go outside OF the Coun-
ellis to find a committee. Mr.. Emmeluth
offered the resolution because the Gov
eminent should place itself on record in
this matter. Let people see what and
how things are being done.
On motion OF Mr.. Waterhouse the res
olution was deferred and made the order
OF the day for next Thursday.
Mr.. Emmeluth asked to know II the
President was going on making APP
pointments without referring the matters
to the Councils. He referred to the APP
pointment OF judges.
Mr.. Hatch replied that the constitu-
ton provided that appointments should
be referred to the Senate. Before the
Senate meets nothing could be done in
the matter. The Councils had no
power.
At 2:0j the Councils adjourned.

Mr.. CR0WLEY'S DRAMA.
A CENTURY AGO IN GREAT BRITAIN
AND HAWAII


The presentation of the "Wooing of
Kaala" at the Opera House over a
year ago, proved that Hawaiian life and
history are after all, not so meagre as
not to afford material for stage repre-
sentation of a respectable order, when
in the hands of an author who is familiar
with the history and legends of Hawaii
nei and above all who is capable of dis
playing the stage setting of his material
to advantage.
The "Wooing of Kaala" was pretty
love story into which some of the stir
ring scenes in the life of the great CON
queror Kamehameha were skillfully
introduced, and the play brought out
the hitherto hidden ability of native
Hawaiians to display respectable his
toric events in an alien tongue.
The drama "Oceanica" is not only
more pretentious effort, but of mo1e in
terest, inasmuch as it deals with events
which must ever occupy front place
in Hawaiian history, and in some degree
that of the English-speaking world.
Captain James Cook, the central char
acter of the play, was essentially a self
made man. He took to the sea as n
boy in collier brig trading from the
Humber to London. He climbed the
ladder of fame by his own inherent
genius. He was at the capture of Que
beck and surveyed the St. Lawrence.
He subsequently, earned the title of the
Columbus of his age, and by his dis
coveries in the Pacific increased the
dominion of Britain so as to Justify the
Toast that the sun never sets on it.
The dealing OF Cook with the natives
of Hawaii has been much contro-
verified subject, and people will be
curious to see how Mr.. Crowley will
treat it,

ours in the London Chronicle for 1868.
In the September of that year are nu-
meruus references to great suspension of
labor in the northern coalfield, and the
golfers are stated to have struck ont"
for higher bounty before entering into
thier usual yearly bond. In confirma-
ton of Mr.. Leaton- Blenkinsopp's state
ment at the last reference il may be
added that the strike is twice called a
'stick. Iondon Chronicle, Oct. S-l0)
One of Harriet Martineau's earliest
pamphlets was a tract entitled "The
Tendency of Strikes and Sticks to
Produce Low Wages" published at
Durham in 1884. The time honored il
lustration Of profitless labor, carrying
Goals to Newcastle" probably received
its first slap in the face during the strike
of 1865. A paragraph dated Newcastle,
Sept 2S, in the London Chronicle, says,
'Tis very remarkable that on Wednes-
day several pokes of Goals We're brought
from Durham to this town by one Of
the common carriers and sold on the
sand hill for ninepence poke, by which
he cleared sixpence poke. Notes and
