Lord Palmernton.

A minister who kept race horses and had at his command a.good store of very blunt vernacular, who could not be got to admit that he understood an abstract thought. who always knew what he wanted and was determined ts carry it out regardless of the opinions of others, who conceived his own ideas to be superior to those of other people, who never looked farther than tomorrow and much preferred not to think beyond this evening, but who at the same time was determined to establish the privi- lege of an Englishman to the sidewalk all over the world, while men of other nations might step into tho gutter this minister represented aspirations which had long ago siekened under the rounded periods intended to convince humanity that bread and calico summed up their total requirements and were more sufficient for rational happiness. This was the popular conception of Palmerston when, in 1855, he became first minister of the crown. .--" Yoke of Empire" by k. B. Brett

We should measure ourselves by the standard of righteousness set by the Saviour, and the difference between our lives and his is the measure of our shortcoming before God. All fall short of the standard now, but by persever- ance men shall some day rise to the fullness of the stature of manhood shown in Jesus Christ. .-Dr. E. W.

The Greatest Books.

There are certain books which no man can read without being larger and wiser and better man. The greatest books are those which do not need any. thing outside of themselves for their in- terpretation. They are the books which live on and on without any reference to the time in which they were written. They arc written at any time for all time. .--Dr. John Paul Egbert, Presby- terian, St. Paul.

People who use kerosene oil for light
or fuel will find themselves inconven-
fenced, unless the Iolani, from Boston,
should arrive within few hours. She
is not due until the latter part of the
month. If bad weather is encountered
she may not arrive until the middle of
next month.
At present there are but 400 cases of
oil in the kerosene warehouse, half of
which has been sold by the importers,
Castle & Cooke, for delivery; the bal
ance will be sold by the firm in single
cases only and at the regular price.
Preference will be given to the firms
regular customers.
The consumption of oil here is about
5000 cases per month, so that the sup
ply on hand will not last more than
three days at the outside, provided, of
course, that the 200 cases already sold
to be delivered go to the other Islands.
Should it remain here among the gro
GERS, the entire stock will probably last
four days. After that, darkness to
those whose houses are not wired for
electricity and cold victuals to those
who use oil for cooking.
Castle & Cooke are at present the
only importers of oil in large quaint
ties. Practically, they are the agents
for the Standard Oil Company, and the
price is fixed by the company. Occa-
sionally Warehouse, Davies or the
Hawaiian Hardware Company import
oil, but since an arrangement was
made by the Standard Oil Company
and w. P. Fuller & Co., the importa-
tons have been small by firms other
than Castle e Cooke, and most of the
oil imported by this firm comes from
Boston around the Horn. Usually the
cargo is from 5000 to 10000 cases, the
vessels arriving about once a quarter
or oftener. The last cargo, instead of
coming here, passed on to Manila,
hence the short supply today.
AS soon as it became known yester-
day morning that the supply was linn
tied one young man made a tour of
Chinatown and bought up all the oil
possible from the Chinese merchants.
In several places the Cinnamon sus-

out sought the quiet of their boudoirs
and kicked themselves. If the Iolani
should be sighted today the young
speculator will employ the services of
these experienced Cinnamon to kick
him.

both houses of Congress are hot about
the matter. the President, under the
heavy weight of responsibility, hest

He knows, as every man knows who
deals with foreign and even domestic
affairs, that it is not easy to obtain re-
liable information. Spain now says
that the Cuban rebellion has been sup

he obtains it. He and not Congress

The debate on the tariff bill is some
what deceptive The Senate is making
rapid progress, but many of the most
important and debatable items have
been passed over for the present.
When there are taken up, they may
provoke long and bitter debate. The
sugar schedules will soon be reached,
but the paragraph referring to the
treaty may be deferred to a later de-
bate. Several of the friends. of the
treaty, in the Senate, believe that the
prevailing opinion today is that the
House bill will be sustained without
debate, not because it is altogether ac-
ceptable, but in order to get the matter
out of the way during the present
session.
The death of Mr.. Hastings may re-

person would be simply to spend sew

position. A raw hand, unless possessed
of great and peculiar gifts, would be
of little use, in the present time, when
pressing work is on hand. w. N. A.

Educational Revival.

From present indications, there will
be a genuine revival in educational
matters during the present summer.
There can be no doubt that the teach
ers' school last summer attracted con-
siderable attention among teachers in
the United States. Yesterday PROBES
sor Smith and wife of Stanford Uni
versity arrived and will spend the
summer. On July 18th Mrs. Mead,
president of Holyoke College, will ar
rive, and by the next Alameda Profess
scr Brown, of the University of Cali
fornia, and Professor Mead, of the
University of Chicago, will be among
the passengers. These are people of
standing among educators in the Unit
ed States, and their presence in Homo
lulu during the session of the summer
school will add much to the enthu-
siasm of those who attend.
Miss G. D. Mosher, formerly of the
physical culture department at Stan
ford; Miss NJ de B. Roberts and M.
Roberts, students at Stanford, also
came by the Archer yesterday, and will
remain during their vacation.

Art League.

Among the items of Importance at
the business meeting of the Kilohana
Art League last evening were the cleo
ton of three new members and the
resignation of Mr. Allen Hutchinson,
incident to his leaving the Islands.
Mr.. Hutchinson was one of the charter
members of the society, and his de-
parture is greeted with much regret.
He was unanimously voted into the
list of honorary members, the League
being only too happy to retain in that
way one whose talents they cannot
hope to replace. An intaglio head of
Mr.. Hitchcock was presented to the
League by the departing sculptor, and
will be highly valued in the nucleus of
what may some time be a permanent
exhibition.
The dates for the autumn exhibition
are proposed as follows: Pictures to
be sent in November 18th; first view
reception. Monday evening, November
22d; open to the public, November 23d.
Notice of proposed amendment to
the constitution was given, making all
membership fees uniform, at the rate
of the present dues of subscription
members.

MANY ROBBERIES.
Committed in Honolulu During
the Last Three Weeks.

From all accounts, there seem to
have been a great many robberies COM
mitted in the city lately without the
details of the same having been sub
mitted to the authorities for action.
Within the last three weeks the fol-
lowing have been robbed:
Fred Johnson. hack driver at the
Pantheon Stables; residence, Fort
street, near Beretania; lost S45.
J. Roberts, engineer; used to be en-
ployed at the Electric Light Works;

MR.. SCOTT RESIGNS.
Deputy Inspector OF Schools
Leaves Department.

Leaves department.
The matter under discussion in the
executive session of the Commission
ers of Education is understood to have
been the resignation of John F. Scott
as Deputy Inspector General of
Schools 1t has been known for some
time that Mr.. Scott has had so much
detail work on his hands that he has
been unable to keep it up to date.
Recently in the mass of office work
orders for books sent to New York
publishers were not properly recorded,
and confusion followed through dupli-
Gates being sent.
Mr.. Scott found the work onerous
and unsatisfactory to him, and when
complaint was made, he rendered his
resignation. In the executive session
much of the responsibility for the er-
rors was lifted from Mr.. SCOTS Shout
ders. and it was shown beyond
peradventure that his accounts were
absolutely correct regarding money
transactions, question, however, re-
garding them had never been brought
up.
Mr. Scott has been connected with
the Board of Education as Secretary
and Deputy Inspector General for some
time past, and has proven very ener-
getic officer He has been courteous to
everyone with whom he was thrown
in contact, and has had the respect of
teachers and public alike. AS he was
an efficient teacher under the Board for
several years before going into the Of
fee. from which he has just retired, it
is believed he will be given good
school.

on Beretania street while in port; lost
gold watch and chain.
The peculiar fact about all of the
rObberies mentioned is that the thief
for it is thought that one man did the
work. entered the rooms of the men
concerned while they were asleep. No
matter where coats, pants or vests
happened to be hanging, he got to
them and always went away with
something.
1t. is rumOred that the men men
toned above are not the only ones
who have suffered. Who will be the
next?
Should the Police Department desire
any further information they can OBJ
tain the same from the men who have
suffered the losses.
