For the information Of those in
terested in the Young Mems Re-
search Club, and those who were
unable to attend the meeting of
last week, it may be stated that the
time for reorganization is two
months off yet. Two more meet
ings, closing the season as at present
scheduled, will be held at the home
OF Rev. D. p. and Mrs. BRINE. After
that the society will be without a
home. The committee appointed
and announced will, during the next
month or two, work out and submit
plan to the members. This will
probably include formal organizs-
ton scheme and suggestion for a
meeting place down town. The de.
parture of Rev. Mr.. Birnie from the
Islands ID deeply regretted by the

Ex-Ministers Arrested.

Through the ofliciousness OF Ke-
liipio, employed by the Board of
Health as Inspector of Fish at the
public Market, Messrs j. f. Colburn
and A. Rosa were subjected TO SER
ious annoyance, which demands an
explanation from the authorities.
The two gentlemen drove to the
Market on their way home yesterday
afternoon in an open carriage. When
they arrived at the Market heavy
rain shower fell, and Mr.. Colhurn
drove under the shed to "get out OF
the wet"
Mr.. Keliipio, who evidently feels
the great responsibility OF his posi-
ton and feels his coats" generally
had the two gentlemen arrested and
obliged them to drive to the Police
Station where, after an explanation
to the Deputy Marshal, they we're at
once allowed to go on their way.
That the gentlemen were annoyed
over the unwarranted indignities
put on them, and incidentally over
their wetting, is simply reasonable
and even this morning the remnants
of "blue streaks" could be seen in
the air around the Marshal's fort.
We understand that the matter
has not yet been ended, and that the
Government will have another Gun
pleasantness" on hand until the
idiotic action OF Mr.. Keliipio has
been satisfactorily explained, and
apologies rendered
