ST. LOUIS COLLEGE.

A representative OF The INDEPEN-
DENT called at the St. Louis College
this morning and was most affsbly
received by Brother Bertram, the
principal of the famous educational
institution.
Many changes have been recently
made at the college. Owing to the
change in the bad Of the Nuuanu
stream large portion OF the play
grounds has been cut away and it is
to be regretted that no suitable
space is available for the favorite
sport OF the boys base ball.
In exchange the Catholic Mission
has received several valuable lots on
the mauka side OF he college build
ings which will bs great improve
hiohV 40 ooOh oo tuO puliuiuSo ou tbb
lots are removed, which, it is hoped
the Government will do without de-
lay. The Nuuanu stream will, when
the works are finished, run close to
the fence OF the college and un
doubtedly materially improve thu
sanitary condition OF that vicinity.
That is, if the water is kept pure.
Great improvements have been
made in the hall of the ST.. Louis
Literary Society. The main hall
has been arranged as an amphi-
theatre and the place for he orches.
ira has been lowered, A large mum
Der OF people can be seated in his
hall. Next 10 the stage another ball
has been added which will be used
for rehearsals, dressing room and
meeting room for tho Members of
the society. Electric lights will be
put in shortly and all Accommodations
for the young men will be forth

coming. The improvements in the
theatre have been paid for by the
literary society from subscriptions
and from the proceeds OF peform-
ances given. Mr.. Thomas Lucas has
made the changes mentioned, and has
as usual completed the work to the
satisfaction OF himself and en-
ployees. He has been ably assisted
by Brother Phillip who apparently
knows what "Tommy" want without
using the Roetngen X ray.
Other improvements at the col.
lege are also noticeable. The bath
rooms are being painted and excel
lent water tanks have been procured.
The grounds are as beautiful as
ever and the college as whole
presents a homelike, and charac-
teristic picture.
Five hundred pupils seek admis-
sion to the school and Brother Ber-
tram fears that he will be obliged to
turn many applicants away for lack
of space. A staff of twenty-four
teachers will do all in their power to
bring up this little army of young
sters to be worthy and useful citi-
zens of the country.
To-day is the 18th anniversary Of
the arrival to this country of the
brothers. 1t is appropriate to thank
them for the good and faithful work
done in the past and wish them all
possible prosperity in the future.
May they be granted life and grace
to continue their work for many
years to come.

Your statement that "many pounds

AS a matter of fact the Plantation

inhabitants OF the place, and not one

whence Came KissingP

The origin of this important So
cial function has been pnzzling
American scientists. 81 have never
met with really satisfactory ana
lysis Of the phenomenon" said one
Of them. "Now, it appears to me
that the genesis of the kiss lies in
the animal pleasure of taking food
luto the mouth. With the very first
man that which was pleasing and
acceptable to the taste was taken
i"to the mouth accompanied by a
drawing in and smacking Of the lips
as air was drawn through them,
while that which was distasteful was
spit out, the air leaving the mouth,
the lips pouted, and often Kissing
sound accompanying the operation.
Now, then, when lips meet in the
kiss they are drawn in, as Though
they would take their object into
heir mouth, air is taken in, and
smack is heard which says, Il love
you enough to eat YOU"

The A. p. A. will not succeed in
Hawaii. Here are too many men,
good and true, who will join hands
in crushing the head OF the serpent
whenever it shows outside its hole
in the ground. Hawaii has no room
for the A. p. A. or for the kind OF
patriots who support that disreput-
able organization.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Some of The INDEPENDENTS warm
est friends have suggested that we
start an election contest to ascertain
the opinion of our readers as to the
probable winner in the Presidential
contest in the United States.
We accept the suggestion and on
our third page will be found a
coupon which can be filed up by
those desiring to vote, and forward
ed to our business manager f. j.
Testa, King and Konia streets.
The contest will conclude at 5
o'clock on the evening of November
4, 1896, and the ballots will be
counted on that evening or as may
be hereafter arranged. Country
ballots posted not later than 5
o'clock on that evening will be-
counted as they arrive.
There will be no prizes, premiums
or rewards offered, and the contest
will be only for fun.
The ballots should be enclosed in
sealed envelope endorsed "The
Presidential Election" and forward
cd in as large patches as convenient.
The will be placed under cover in
tact until the evening of the count
ing of the vote.

The "Patriot" who evidently is

stand how the editor of The TNDE-
PENDENT can be acquainted with the
secrets of the A, p. A., if such an
organization exists here. He even
insinuates that we must have had
access to the association as mem
ber. That's it right, Mr.. Pat Riot,

"Patriot" thinks that the A. p. A.

is notorious for his disloyalty and
want Of patriotism"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-09-03

If Patriot would take the trouble
to enquire among certain prominent
merchants and professional men, he
would soon learn that large num-
ber of them recently have been ap
preached with a request to join the
association, and have emphatically
declined to have anything to do
with the Infamous movement. If he
used his eyes and ears he would
soon be convinced of the existence
of an A. p. A. here. Only a few
weeks ago, Editor G. X. Wilder of
the Hilo Tribune complained, be-
cause the a. p. A. was being felt in
public and private life in Hilo, and
he denounced the promoters in
scathing terms. Editor Gardner
Wilder can hardly be called dis
loyal" aud "unpatriotic," according
to "Patriot's" views

THE A. P. A. IN HAWAII.

An anonymous correspondent OF
the Advertiser, over the signature
OF "Patriot" has taken up the cudgels
for the A. p. A. in a very mild and
indefinite manner. The "Patrot"
should have signed his communica-
tion with his full name, and then by
looking over the list OF the members
of the A. P. A. we feel sure, that we
would have found his name. He
has, however, like the rest of the
members OF that damnable organiza-
ton, not the courage OF his con-
victions.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-09-03

Mr.. "Patriot" does not deny that
an A. P. A. exists in Hawaii. He
says that if it does he has been un-
able to learn that such is the case.
We have an idea, that there are
many things, that patriot" mas been
unable to learn in this world, but we
do not think that the existence of
the A. p. A. is one of them.

He Was Flattery Proof.

Howell Van Rensselaer, Gibbon
thoughtfully picked up the terrier which
was reposing in his favorite chair and
deposited it on the floor in a somewhat
astonished condition. GAS to taking
flattery," he remarked, "most men are
ten times as bad as women; I'll admit
that. 1t is actually amusing"
"Isn't it?" agreed the young lady in
the shrimp pink waist cautiously. She
was not sure of Howell's point.
"And because I recognize the fact,
went on Mr.. Gibbon, 81 am in meas
ure protected and exempt. In fact, I
think I am proof. 1t would take pret-
ty clever person to flatter me. !"
"Indeed it wouldl" chimed in the
girl in the pink waist rapturously, for
she had struck ground. "I've thought
that of you for long time. Isn't it
stranger"
Howell beamed. "Have you?" he
said. "It only shows how much in
sympathy we are. I have my failings,
Of course, but. susceptibility to fattery
is not one Of Them"
Everybody knows that promptly
acquiesced the girl in the pink waist.
"Most men rather like it, and so we do
it. But, now, l should never dream of
trying to flatter you'' She finished with
little burst of confidence
Mr.. Gibbon appeared gratified. II
should hope so," he remarked. She let
her eyes rest on him pensively, and
when she spoke it was as though half
to herself. Ordinary men actually rev.
el in the nice things we poor girls have
to think up to say to them. You can't
imagine what relief it is to talk to a
man with broad and sensible mind
to talk to you, Mr.. Gibbon.'
There was seraphic peace on How
ellis countenance as he said good night
and went out through the hall with the
firm and buoyant stride of a man who
feels in his soul that he is an exception.
The girl in the pink waist stood
where he had left her, beside the big
lamp, and appeared to be thinking. All
at once she chuckled gleefully and softly.
But Howell never knew.-Chicago

Haxlitt ON Coleridge,

In June, 1916, Coleridge published
"Christabel," and in September the
Edinburgh Review, by the hand of Haz-
lit (as Coleridge asserted), made bitter
fun Of it through nine pages, the article
winding up with the declaration that
"the thing now before us is utterly des-
titute of value. 1t exhibits from begin
ming to end not a ray of genius" Dykes
Campbell, "Coleridge; Narrative"
page 222.) Coleridge, it must be admit
ted, had to a certain extent courted per-
sonal treatment by declaring that" Ku-
bla Khan" was published mot upon the
ground of any poetic merit, but as a
psychological curiosity, and by giving
detailed account in the preface Of the
circumstances and the anodyne under
which it was written.
All that one can say is that Hazlitt
does not miss his opportunity. His ref
erences to the "anodyne" are mingled
unpleasantly with scornful innuendo.
"Persons in this poets unhappy condi-
tion generally feel the want Of sleep as
the worst of their evils, but there are
instances, too. in the history of the dis
ease of sleep being attended with new
agony" Upon the whole, he says,
1--WE look upon this publication as one
of the most notable pieces of imperti-
nence of which the press has lately been
guilty"
This of the poem which many persons
regard as superior to the Ancient
Mariner" in imagination, and which
every one with an ear for rhythm must
regard as one of the most perfect speci-
mems Of subtle word music in the Eng
lish language. But the worst of it was
that Hazlitt knew all this, even if Col
eridge exaggerated, when he said in the
Biographia Literaria that he had 'both
in my presence and in my absence re-
reatedly pronounced il the finest poem

wretched London Houses.

The majority IF London houses are
unfit to live in, quite apart from their
defective drainage. About questions of
foundations much mere nonsense has
been written recently, and all the while
death is allowed to be continually ac-
tive in the roofs. Houses are mostly
built with some part of the outer walls
but one brick-of nine inches-thicl, and
workmen's houses, "self contained, !"
are wholly built with merely nine inch
work. Yet bricks are seldom made SO
dense that moisture cannot penetrate a
nine inch wall, and ID inch is the
least that should be used for the main
walls of dwelling houses. This slight
extra thickness and the joint of mortar
at corresponding little extra cost tend
to obstruct both heat and cold, both
damp and sound.
The heat in summer time and cold in
winter never are efficiently excluded by
a nine inch, one brick wall, and in the
winter freezing outer walls condense
the moisture in the rooms, which thus
become unwholesome. Roofs are con-
structed with extreme tenuity; an inch
Of slate and plaster is the wholly insult
ficient covering and protection of an
average London house. The attics, low
pitched and extremely hot or cold, are
quite unfit for servants sleeping rooms.
No wonder that SO many Of these girls
are stunted, narrow chested and ans-
mic and that consumption has become
a national disease. The servants sit or
work in basement rooms in 20 degrees
of heat for several hours, then going up
to these cold attics they experience an
immediate fall of S5 degrees or even 40
degrees. And in that frost and chill
they lie throughout the winters night,
while in the summer the excessive heat
is painfully exhausting. Quarterly Re-
view.
