In the days when Samue l..
Clemeus-not yet known as Mark
Twain, was an unfortunate membAr
OF the guild of newspaper cores
pondents, and filters of the editorial
bottle, he had the fashion OF going
round iu his shirtsleeves. Some of
those, nowspromiusnt in managing
other peoples money, ohjected. They
said, che must be low fellow" We
don't go round in our shirtsl,.ves."
The argument held good than. 1t
b lids good now. Those pc ,ple still
try to mana age other folks estate-
aud money. S. L. Clemens manages
his own-now his name is known
the world wide, and commands that
attention from any banker.

are the quarantine laws not en-

The Advertiser artist has met his
match in Mark Twain-beg pardon
we mean the other way about.
Which is he most humorous--his
alleged portrait or his lecture-will
always be subject of doubt to his
cam bal readers. Though, doubt
less, the latter would prefer the ORR

The cholera scare ought to be
over to-day. But for future con-
sideration let US mention to the
authorities that the germ OF that
disease is even easier transferred 10
freight consisting of clothing aud
dry go, DIS than it is through personal
contact with victim of the disease.
The allowance of shipments Of
freight from our Chinese and Japa-
nese stores to the other island, and
the prevention of passenger traffic
is certainly inconsistent and is prob
ably due to that wise member of the
Board of Health who always wants
to "rub it in" and who according TO
the Star made the following intelli
gent remarks at the meeting yester,
day:
DR.. Wood spoke Of a case 10 Iwi-
lei me months ago He went there
in hurry to see woman, aud she
had died in great pain, before his
arrival. That could not have been
cholera.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-08-21

If the doctor did say so he de-
serves a statue-and 60 does the
woman. She had sense enough to
die before the learned doctor ar.
rived-and his expected arrival, not
cholera, settled her according to the
Stars report.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-08-21

There is no cholera here. Rest as
sured Of that fact. There is and has
been for several months considera-
BILE dysentery and other bowel COM
plants due most probably to the
unusual condition OF the weather.
The frequency OF cases of this COM
plant has probably given occasion
to the foolish rumors now circulated
and which are now causing an alb
solute panic in certain places.

We do not blame these physicians

The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-08-21

Mr.. w. o. Smith, however, was not
ably supported by the physicians
who were invited to join the Board
of Health in consultation. The
leading physicians OF the town for
some reason or other were not
present. DR.. McKibbin, who per-
haps is the only physician here who
has been through" a cholera epi-
demic, was not even invited to at
tend the meeting, if we are correctly
informed. DR.. Brodie and other
eminent physicians were conspicu-
ously brilliant by their absence.

UP IN THE FASHIONS.

When it comes to fashions this venera-
BILE periodical gets quite enthusiastic. III
tells how soon the patrons OF Ackermann's
know exactly the way in which their IA
risian sisters are disporting themselves;
what hats they wear TO promenade anu 70
the opera; how they arrange their ha'r'
drape their shawls and select their foot
wear There are accompanying iliustra-
tions of the prevailing styles, and the care
and eIaborateness of detail expended on
these pictures is certainly worthy OF pet-
ter cause.
In April, 1910, when my lady went to
a ball she must needs adorn her stately
person in a white satin slip under crepe
dress, cut open in front, and bound all
around with white satin ribbon ana
row of beads. This description is rather
vague and somewhat suggests the toilet
of South Pacific island belle. but the
illustration explains the misty points of
the description ami shows that the bodice,
or that part which answers to the apology
for waist, was bound in white satin rib-
bon and edged with pearl beads. The eff
feet is pretty and looks entirely up To date.
When my lady goes for a walk sne

silk. bishops mantle of sage OF olive green
striped or plain silk, made entirely with
out seams, and with a border Of the
same; hat to correspond, and decorated
with artificial flowers. Shues,. sage OF
olive green, also to correspond.
Ackermann's was generous to 8 degree,
and unlike most fashion writer's, devotes
lengthy expositions to masculine wares
and ways. In June, 1909, the lords Of
creation donned dark olive and bOttle-
green coats and marcella waiStcoats or
all descriptions, colors, and patterns;
buff, however, was considered the best
taste. Nankeen drawers and CATERS were
very generally for morning dress. 1t
was also the very Quintesencee of style
to wear the collar Of the great coat very
high behind, worked round to stand OF
and cut very low in front.
LEATHER PANTS PROMISED.
In September of the same year the fash
ion trade announces that no alteration
is recorded In masculine apparel, except
that leather breeches, of very deep color,
approaching 70 brown, and that boots
will soon be much worn In England. The
Repository adds, with true Journalistic
pride, ut will be recollected that In our
number for August we announced the
probability OF this important change"

hundred yards start, and was running like

pommel, her face blanched with fear
and her teeth clenched. One hundred

cured a spirited black horse, considered
perfectly safe, for Miss Hubben. The latter
came out to the sidewalk in front OF her
residence on Washington street, and Mr..
Osmun helped her to the saddle. Just at
that moment something frightened the
little black, and it was off down the street
Ike a shot before Miss Hubbell could gather
the reins, which dangled from its neck.
Mr.. Osmun took in the situation at a
Slance. Half a mile from the house the
0treet makes turn, almost at right angles,
10 the left. There were only two cross
streets before this turn was reached, and
the little black would probably keep a
straight course until this turn was reached.

From literary standpoint Ackermann's
contains a treasure store. The Letters OF
Amelia," which Afterwards became so
noted, first appeared in this journal, and
many of the poems OF Byron, Shelley and
Moore first saw the light of lame through
its pages.
Many scientific writers thus paraded their
pet hobbies in print, and in 1911 there Is
most entertaining series OF articles Oh
"Gas-light, or the application OF the gas
from coal to economical purposes, when
compared with the light afforded by lamps
or candles" Various scientists give
learned opinions on the subject, but they
nearly all agree that on account OF the great
expenditure of money required to make
soal gas, the idea is practically impossible
for general usage.
Births, deaths and marriages appear In
an endless medley, sandwiched between
fashionable furniture on one side, and bank
ruptcies and dividends on the other. Here
for the first time the spirit of progress
is manifest in the system OF modern Journal
ism. Births, marriages and deaths are
placed separately, and each name is ar
ranged alpha betically. The Repository
thus announces in single paragraph:

bert Heathcote, Royal Navy, to Miss Ann

A LOVE OF HIS YOUTH.

One announcement says In soul-strripg
terms that at Yapton Mr.. j. Rogers, aged
10, was united in holy wedlock to the
love OF his youth, Mrs. Ann Stagg. aged
S4." 1t tells that on this auspicious oc-
casion grandson of the groom and a grand
daughter of the bride did the honors, and
that in consequence a second wedding will
soon occur at Yapton.
There are health hints, household advice,
cooking recipes galore in Ackerrnan's s.
One article speaks in the most exalted
terms OF coffee as a sanitary drink, and
states that IL is cure for Ills innumer-
able. A recipe for a severe headache is as
follows: Take eighteen drops of lauda-
NUM- and Immediately afterward drink
three cups OF strong black coffee. Inabout
half an hour the pain VIII abate and not
even the slightest inclination To drowsi-
ness will ensue." This seems rather
heroic remedy, and The Times is in no way
responsible for its success and does not
advise any OF its readers to try the expert
ment.
Taken as a whole, the Repository is a
bright, chatty, newsy magazine. and it
has no modern counterpart equal TO 1t

covers or in the beauty and grace of its
