General Post-Office May Provide Bicycles and
Costumes for its Country Postmstresses.
MADE NECESSARY BY SPECIAL DELIVERY LETTERS.
A Thousand Pretty Girls in Blue Uniforms Speeding
With the Mail Bags.
OSTMSTRESS LOCKS UP AND SPEEDS WITH FRIGHT OF WAY"

a uniform very helpful in the delivery of
special letters. Going on bicycle along
any road, they would be helped and not
hindered by the wearing of the blue. The
we'll known color, with its touches of
black braiding, would proclaim the errand
of the rider and all would turn out to
make way for her
In many localities there is still preju-
dice against the bicyclist The cad on
casters takes up too much space. He is
in the way His bell and his light frighten
horses; he himself has an unpleasant way
of skirting ones wheels at danger of get
ting caught in its revolutions. Few driv-
ers make room for the cyclist; none turn
out for him.
RIGHT OF WAY"
"The United States mail as carried by
the bicycle postmistress. would arouse in
terest and create respect. People would
stand still to see her so by; the best
places on the road would open up to her;
paths would be smoother in anticipation
of her coming and front gates would un-
lock as she approached. The promptness
with which She could deliver the mail
would convince all of the policy in making
her way easy.

Charles billiard Wilson arrived in
Honolulu from Seattle. He was accom-

whom he married in Seattle the night
before his coming to Hawaii. Wilson
came here as a drummer in the gov
eminent band. He afterward OBJ
tanned employment as a bookkeeper IN
Hebron's drug store. Both he and his
wife were familiar with theatricals
though they may never have been on
the stage. When the play Jane" was
suggested as a suitable piece for anna
teurs to produce at the opening OF
the new Opera House, Mrs. Dimond
sought an introduction to Wilson and
asked him to take part. To this he
readily consented and he was cast for
the character of William, who. i'm the
play, makes love to Jane. the role as
signed to Mrs. Dmond. After the
third rehearsal their love making on
the stage was not acting It was real.
And the stronger his love grew for Mrs,
Dimond the more he neglected his wife.
The more he was talked with regard
ing his abuse of his wife, the more he
maltreated her. On one occasion Will

and she was in the hands of a doctor
for some days afterward After this
treatment she lost her mind temporar-

THE DREAM-TowN SHOW.

There is an island in Slumber Sea,
Where the drollest things are done,
And we will sail there, if the winds are
fair,
Just after the set of the sun.
'Tis the loveliest place in the whole
wide world,
Or anyway, so it seems;
And the folks there play at the end OF
each day
In curious show called Dreams"
We sail right into the evening skies,
And the very first thing we know,
We are there at the port and ready Tor
Where the dream folks give their
show.
And what do you think they did last
night
When l crossed their harbor bars?
They hoisted plank on a great cloud
bank,
And teetered among the stars.
And they sat on the moon and swung
their feet
Like pendulums to and fro;
Down Slumber Sea is the sail for me-
And I wish you were ready to 60.
For the dream folks there on this curl
Gus isle,
Begin their performance at eight;
There are no encores, and they close
their doors
On every one who is late.
The sun is sinking behind the hills,
The seven o'clock bells chime;
| know by the chart that we ought 10
start
If we would be there in time.
O. fair is the trip down Slumber sea;
Set sail and away we go;
The anchor is drawn, we are OH anu
gone,
To the wonderful Dream-Town show
