Mr. Gardner Doesn't Think
City Will Accept.
New and More FavOrableView
of City Limit Clause.
Theory That the City Will Be Able
to Dictate in July, 1897.

Councilman -Raihbone- Gardner OF the
committee on transfers and strong ad-
vocate OF adopting for the city the only
transfer system available, very much
doubts II the matter will be touched
again in the City Council tefore next Sep
tember. 1t has been postoned until July
20, and ii is not at all improbable that
before that date the Council will
adjourn for the sumner. Mr.. Gardner
does not think that the vote of - to 10
on matter of time in the Council the
other night can be considered as far
test vote on the main question but, on
the other hand, he does not think the
Council Will vote 10 accept the system.
member OF the Common Council
who is opposed TO the scheme as a whole
differs from nearly everyone else in COM
mending rather than denouncing the
provision OF the transfer act, which saws
that transfers shall be issued only 10 and
from cars running within tue city limits.
He thinks that the citv would gain more
in the end by having it that way thap as
II the out OF town people could share the
same benefit. IL would discourage, he
said, this tendency on the part OF so
many to cross the city line an esta biish
their homes In the suburbs. and the more
people who live this side of tho line, the
bigger the taxes.
An Alderman who will not commit
himself as TO how he shall vote when the
time comes, thinks now that the city had
better wait and make a better deal later
on. And in relation to that he suggests
a new point not yet raised In the discus
sion that has dragged on for the last tour
months. He suggests the TACT that in one
year from next month, July, 1897. the
fYe-Year agreement by which the Union
Railroad Company pays three per cent. of
Its gross earnings TO the city will expire.
and a new deal will have to be made to
hold from 1887 TO 1902. The Alderman
tb ipks that i'm fixing the per cent. for
the five yearo to come tho, city will be
able to hold the railroad company quite
an argument, "and,n he said, "perhaps
they will be glad to paw five per cent.
and give the kind OF transfers we want"

CHRISTMAS AT ST. ANDREWS
Meetings Held Yesterday and
Facts Relating Thereto.

At ST. Andrews Cathedral the at
tendance at the Christmas services was
not so large as on past occasions. This
may have been owing to the somewhat
inclement weather. The decorations
were simple and confined to the altar.
around which were potted plants and
ferns. There were two early celebra-
tons of the holy communion, the one
at 1880 o'cloci. Oeing choral, the music
being sung by the surpliced choirsters.
AT $3.50 O'Clock the second congrega-

MERRYCHRISTMAS.
Events Arranged for the
Little Ones.
Trees Laden With Presents to Bring
Good Cheer-xmas go Never
to be Forgotten.

Christmas Eve was happy one for
many children, and many modes of en-
joyment were afforded them by their
kind parents and friends. Several
Christmas trees were arranged for their
benefit, and of these a few are given
below:
At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. g.
Irwin, Waikiki, a most delightful time
was given to the little friends of Miss
Helene. This was in the shape of a
Christmas tree, beautifully decorated,
and laden with presents galore to make
happy the hearts of the believers II
Santa Claus.
The tree was placed on the lanai, and
when all,was ready and the large doors
had been thrown open, the children
sang merry Christmas carols and then
proceeded to the joyful task of un-
wrapping their gifts plucked from the
branches of the Christmas tree.
This finished, the little ones danced
of to their table to the enjoyment of
refreshments.
Among the grown people present to
watch the festivities were Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Yates Mr. and Mrs. ]. G. Spencer,
Mr.. and Mrs. F. NJ. Swanzy, Mr.. and
Mrs. E. 1. Spalding, Mrs. C. L. Carter
Mrs Gum, Miss Pauahi Judd and

At the Waikiki home of Mr.. and Mrs
John Ena there was a novel Christmas
tree. The trunk of the large hau tree
the branches of which spread over the
spacious lanai, was covered with koa
branches, MALE and little punches al
red flowers and peppers, while here
and there amongst this mass of green
were scattered Japanese lanterns and
small candles of various colors. Tho
presents were piled upon table amid
the green. Mr.. George Smithies acted
as Santa Claus. There were some eight
or 10 children present.
The Christmas tree event was pre-
coded by very cleverly executed play
in one act by Misses Clara and Daisy
Ena and Athalie Levey.
In the afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. G. A
Brown gave a merry Christmas enter.
tainment to a number of children. In.
stead of a tree, there was large skele'
ton bell placed in the drawing room
This, suspended from the ceiling, was
decorated with MALE leis and Other
greens and covered all over with tapers
and tinsel. Upon this were hung the
many presents.
Those present outside of the children
were Rev. C. NJ. Hyde and Mrs. Hyde
Dr. and Mrs. Herbert, Mr.. and Mrs. f
D. Tenney, Mrs. Carrie Robinson, and
Misses Snow, Green and Aheang.
At the homes of Mr.. and Mrs. w. r
