FREEDOM OF THE CITY.
Ancient Ceremony That Is Stl Per-
formed in London.

tOrneu Au LOhuOhs
From the Pail Mall Gazette.
AZ the present juncture a few words on
the custom and practice of the city of
London in reference to the freedom may
be of interest. There are four methods by
which il may be acquired: o. BY patri-
mony; % by apprenticeship; CD by pur-
chase: (D by gift conferred by the corpo-
ration, as an honorary distinction. From
The earliest times the city freedom has
been one of the most important rights
and privileges Of true-born Englishman,
and for many centuries It's honorary pre-
sentation has been the form in which the
citizens Of London have marked their
high and eudearng appreciation Of great
military and naval proves on the part
of their counirymen. For where our gal
liant admirals ana generals are concerned,
the honor possesses something more than
personal significance, since il is at the
same time intended TO convey to the force
under the recipients command the thanks
of the city and corporation. The prac-
lice of creating honorary freemen of the
city is of considerably antiquity, since h

Brutus standing by to offer assistance il 1t

Honolulu, and then set out for the Mar

The Montereys addition to Admiral

tended. No time was lost on board the
transports. The crews worked with will,
and In q short time the anchors were up
and the vessels were under way.
Then the $500 soldiers, who had been i'm
patiently awaiting the signal to start, let
themselves loose. They climbed to the
rigging. and swarmed oil over the big
ship shouting and cheering like mad.
The bav was alive with small craft OF every
description, and huge ferryboats were
pressed into service to accommodate the
eager crowd. and carry them to tue head
of the Golden Gate that last farewell
might be said.
The big transports steamed slowly along
the water front, and the crowd on shore
raced along to keep them in sight. The
roise made by patriotic citizens on sea and
shore was something terrific. Every
steam whistle in the city aSFesf5f-r0 be
blowing, cannon were fired, and the din
lasted for fully an hour.
As the Australia passed AlcatraZ Island,
in the lead OF other ships, the battery OF
United States artillery stationed there
(!red salute to General Anderson. The
colors were dipped in recognition, and the
steamships sounded their sirens.
It was shortly after ) o'clock when the
vessels entered the ocean, and the sun
shining over the sea gave the departing
sailors a last view Of the country to fight
for the honor Of which they were to salt
over six thousand miles. When last seen
the transport feet was steaMinG slowly to
the southwest.
After the pilots were dropped the vessels
went ahead at full speed. and in six days,
il all goes wall, they will enter Honolulu
Harbor and join the Charleston.
The three transports carried close to
$500 men. The expedition, which is under
command Of Brigadier General Anderson,
consists OF four companies Of Regulars,
under command OF Major Robe; the First
Regiment, California Volunteers, Colonel
Smith: TIE First Regiment, Oregon Volun-
teers, Colonel Summers: battalion OF
fifty, heavy artillery. Major Gary, and
about one hundred sailors and eleven naval
officers.
The transports are loaded with supplies
to last q year. and carry big cargo ofam-
munition and naval stores for Admiral
Dewey's fleet.
1t is thought here that tho fleet which
left today will not keep company with the
Charleston after leaving Honolulu. They
aIl carry enough coal to steam at full speed
from Honolulu to Manila, while the Char
lesion. in order to economize coal, will not

TRANSPORTS do not wait for the cruiser they
may be expected to arrive at Manila about

A foreign authority makes the fol-
lowing remarks about women and eat5
ing: ''For many gears past the tiny
appetite has been out Of fashion, and
girls have taken to eating so heartily,
that it was only question Of time
how soon the doctors would publicly
rebuke them for eating themselves into
their graves. The time has come, and
a medical authority lays it down that
women, as rule, eat too much. OF
course, the bicycling maiden and the
golfng girl require more than their
grandmothers did to sustain them in
their arduous amusements, and with
them the increased appetite may be
healthy, but the majority Of women
take.very little active exercise, and yet
they eat almost as heartily as do their
men folk" This is a serious enough
state of affairs. Perhaps if the risk
were only that of life, women would
mot change their ways in this respect.
But there is a more serious side to the
