clared shall contain everything that

IL would seem a grievous wrong TO the
Partisan who has 10 pay centime every
time he sits down in public park to
permit the peoples of the world TO take
advantage of the comforts, inside or

them.
The captive balloon Will be present in
all its greatness as 1t appeared at the
worlds fair and other expositions. Then
there will be an exhibition of the works
of man from ali early period up to date.
This will apply particularly to the more
notable inventions of great artists, ETC.,
and will include portraits, statuary,
manuscript, etc. An immense telescope
has been suggested by NJ. Deloncle. The
same genius also suggests a 2O0-ton
clock. A wine vat that will hold $4,000
gallons is another suggestion. Then
there are four movable platforms pro-
posed which are to be impelled by either
steam or electricity. Mines and geo
logical exhibits without number are
among the plans submitted. Camille
Flammarion, the famous astronomer,

sion Play" Another idea is to have a
submarine theater. Then comes the
usual Alpine panorama and another
which it is alleged Will represent the
mysteries of the ocean. The doings OF
the recent expedition of the French to
Madagascar are what some one wishes
to exploit on canvas And so it goes.
Among the features suggested already
must be selected the onewhich it is be-
lieved will liSser in the mind of man
long after the details of the exposition
have passed from memory. The entries
for genuses have closed, and now the
members of the exposition commission
must deliberate over what is before
them. While eighty efour suggestions
have been held to be worthy of consid
Grafton, really not more than sixty-one
of these proje cts are at all in accordance
with the general plan of the exposition.
One Of the commissioners has gone So
far as to say that only tventy-three of
them are at all appropriate, but this
question must be settled by the commits
sioners as a whole.
To fully appreciate the immense
amount of labor required to place the
site of the exposition in proper condition
for the beginning OF the erection of the
buildings, it must be understood that
the work which is now in progress is
simply the first step-the demolition of
the buildings which now cover the site
This is one Of the facts which Indicate
the determination of France to excel

While all the details of the artitec-
ture have not yet be- worked out il is
certain that the Palace of the Troca-
dero which was utilized both for the
eXpositlons of 1873 and 1889 will be used
as well as several of the great exposi-
tion halls of 1SN in the Champs de
Mars. although there will be changes in
all Of them. On the site of the Palace
of Industry, in which the exposition Of
1855 was held, will rise d splendid
structure to be used as the Fine Arts
hall Of the Exposition Universale. Just
west of this location and on the same
side Of the Champs Elysees. the ground
has been broken for the Hall of Liberal
Arts, which is to be permanent edi-

stately bridge, which viii be known as

foundations thereof the last time he
visited Paris. 1t is promised that this
bridge Will not only be remarka BILE for
its strength but equally notat.< for its

NEN ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
WORK NOW BEING CARRIED on

these Road Supervisor Cummings has
"A big force of men at work.
The most important of the improve
ments now being made is the opening
of Vineyard street. This beautif"l
driveway is now completed from
Punchbowl, where it has Miller and
Punchbowl streets for it's outlet, down
past Emma to Fort street.
There are now over fifty men, in
Guiding teamsters, engaged on the two
sections lying between Fort and Null
anu streets. The most difficult part
of this extension is the bridging Of
Pauoa stream. Below Nuuanu is Il
small street extending toward the
stream. This will be included in the
Vineyard extension and continued on
to Nuuanu stream.
The whole of Vineyard street will

The road supervisor is anxious to
have the new beach road running
through Waikiki, completed during
the present month. Some thirty men
are employed on this work. When
completed the new beach road will be
the finest driving boulevard in the
city. The soft dirt top is being put
on it for this purpose.
Three gangs of prisoners are now
engaged in giving the Waialae road
thorough overhauling. They are
nearing the end of this job.
Some patch work is being done &c
Nuuanu and Liliha streets. The tram

The little street running between
the Judiciary building and the Opera
House and connecting King and Queer

MERCHANTS AND PLANTERS IN
EARNEST.
Subscription of $4,000 Being Raised to
Pay Lawyers and Defray Heavy
Court Expenses.

The merchants and planters are de-
termined to fight the income tax law
on constitutional grounds, and this
morning committee of which prom
inent merchant is chairman, started
out to raise the necessary funds TO
to pay attorneys and defray court eN-
penses. 1t is asserted by legal author
tiles that the income tax law passed
by the Legislature in 1896 is uncon-
stitutional for the same reasons that
the law passed by the American Con-
gress was found to be illegal by the
United States Supreme Court. 1t is es-
timated that the cost of fighting the
law her will be about $4,000, includi lg
the cost of carrying the matter to the
Supreme Court. BY signing the sub
scription list now going the rounds
every business house and plantation
agrees to stand a proportonate share
of the expense. Already the lisG has
been signed by all of the plantation
agents and a number of the largest
business houses.

That Honolulu has established a
reputation for matrimonial chances
seems to prevail with certain people in
San Francisco.
A lady tourist, who returned to her
home in California from "a visit of
several weeks duration in the islands,
gathered the impression that to catch

Whether she came to this conclusion
after reviewing the large number of
marriages and prospective marriages
during this year, The Star is unable
to say.
But nevertheless, this lady whisper
ed thoughts to a friend of hers in the
city who has an eligible daughter.
The result of it all is that Herman
Levy, the popular clerk of the Ha-
waian Hotel, is in receipt of this
letter:
"San Francisco, June 20, '97.
"Mr. H. Levy. Dear Sir: I hardly
think it is necessary for me to excuse
myself for the seeming liberty of ad-
dressing letter to you.
The object of this letter is this: My
cousin. Mrs. S----. having just
returned from the islands, has told
me that matrimonial chances thore are
at premium. AS I have a daughter,
she encouraged my writing down at
once to inquire.
"If it will not inconvenience you in
any way, would you kindly let me
know whether there are any suitable
parties. BY that I mean, of means,
You would confer a great favor upon
me hy doing so. Religion has nothing
to do with the question. My daughter
is 10, and if a desirable party is found
she will first send her picture.
Hoping you will oblige me and let
me know Immediately, / remain sim
cerely. MRS. Fl. II. T"
After pondering over the matter for
some little time, Mr.. Levy made up
his mind that he would not establish
