PREPARATIONS SUGGESTED BY
AMERICAN CITIZENS.
What Steps May be Taken to Show
Honolulu's Aloha for American Sol
diers-Ships Can Get Supplies.

a rousing reception for the boys in
blue on their way to Manila is pro-
posed.
From the latest dispatches from the
Coast it is almost certain that 10000
the Philippines to complete Dewey's
naval victory. The City of peking
was scheduled to leave San Francisco
with the first of them May 18th. She
would be due here May 21st or 22nd.
The Australia was to follow as soon
as possible, perhaps the same day.
The remainder will follow as soon as
ships can be secured and the men be
embarked.
The troops are nearly all from the
Coast states. Hundreds of people in
Honolulu will have acquaintances
among them: many of them relatives.
Everybody viii want to see the boys.
1t is suggested that there is pc
culiar propriety in giving such re-
ception. Dewey's victory at Manila
has removed all apprehension of dan
ger to Hawaii or fear for Hawaiian or
American shipping in the Pacific.
At any rate everyone who has been
spoken to about the matter is enthu-
siastically in favor of it,
There can be no doubt that an aD-
propriate and rOusing reception can
be arranged.
The talk of the town today has been
the reception to the American soldiers
who will likely arrive here i'm the
next ten days on their way to Manila.
Sentiment is unanimous in favor of a
royal time. Americans are uniting,
and will endeavor if the thing can ue
| arranged, to have the reception tne
most extensive ever put on in Honolu-
lu. 20,
The American Union Party will 40
doubt take the initiative. The Central
Committee will be actively assisted by
the military and Citizens Guards
President Kennedy was seen this fore
| noon and stated that the affair
would doubtless be made very porten,
tous. Colonel Fisher realizes fully
the important work that will devoIve
upoa the military. Officers will take
| care of the officers of the 'mva ing
host" and the regiment at large will
be expected to show whatever cour.
tesies are possible to the visiting sol
diers.
Doubtless a regular program will
be formulated. Several persons OF al
executive turn are discussing the
matter. Much will depend upon the
time when the troops arrive and the
length of their stay here. These
facts will doubtless be learned by the
next mail.
One prominent gentleman has come
forward with an idea that appears to
have merit. He says that when the
troops arrive here they will want, first
of all, fruit, fruit, and plenty of it.
His suggestion then is that fund be
collected for the purchase of bananas
pine apples, cocoanuts, melons, etc.
in endless quantities. and that they be
supplied to all of the vessels until
they cry for quarter. 1t is estimated
that $1,000 will cover the entire ex,
| pense.
A member of the Cabinet stated
this morning that the American
troops would be allowed to take Goa

NET SIXTEEN STORMS.
Hard Trip of the j. c. Glade From Liv-
erpool.

The German bark j. C. Glade arriv-
ed today after a terribly stormy pas
sage of 1872 days from Liverpool. Cap
tain j. ii. Siege says he had the
worst weather he ever experienced.
He encountered siteen storms and
had two men washed overheard in
the Bay of Biscay, Frede and Jahnke.
He was "a days beating around the
Horn, much of the time the bark's
head was under water. The ship was
never dry. Most of the time the wea-
ther was so bad the top sails could
not be set. He arrived off Hawaii at
noon yesterday.
The Glade is consigned to II. Hack
field d Co., and brings 2,2OO tons of
general merchandise and large
quantity of pig iron.

NOTHING FROM DEWEY.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The' oflici-
ais have about concluded there is lit
tie prospect of receiving news fr,m
Dewey directly today. They figure
that presuming the dispatch boat had
sailed at the earliest moment After
the bombardment Monday evening,
and allowing three days for the pas
sage of the ship, it is not due at the
port of Hongkong or Mrs Bay until
tonights 1t is already tonight by o',r
time in leither place and possibly The
McCulloch or some dispatch boat is
just entering the harbor. Other de-
lays would occur before the receipt
of cable here, through many relay
stations, so it is; thought there is -
tie chance of official news comihl
during daylight, hours. Seer
Long states in a most positive an
ner he will make the people acqualn@-
ed with the news from Dewey as soon
as it is received

Valuable Record.

When the furniture of Charles James
Fox, the famous English orator and
statesman, was sold by auction, there
was among the books copy of the first
volume of Gibbons Roman history.
1t appeared by the title page that the
book had been presented by the author
to Fox, but no considerations of senti-
ment deferred the recipient from writ
ing on the fly leaf this anecdote:
''The author at Brookes' said there
was no salvation for this country until
six heads of the principal persons in ad-
ministration were laid on the table.
Eleven days after this same gentleman
accepted place of lord of trade, under
those very ministers, and has acted with
them ever since.
Such was the avidity Of bidders anx-
ious to secure the least scrap of the writ
ing and composition Of the famous own
or Of the copy that owing to the addi-
tion Of this little record the book sold
for guineas, large sum for the times

The Innocence of Childhood.

AS the tour de force of an entertain
ment once given at an English country
house it was arranged that the children
should present an original play, to he
entirely written and acted by them
selves The play turned out to be sur
prisingly we'll written and would have
won much praise but for the ending.
This was the story of the play:
A gallant knight joined the brave
King Richard in one of his crusades in
Palestine. Nothing having been heard
from him for more than seven years, the
conviction was forced on his faithful
wife that he was dead. The villain came
to her and wanted her to marry him,
but at the critical moment the knight
reappeared and clasped in his arms his
lady, who had never ceased to love him.
Then explanations came, and he told Of
his many noble achievements. "m
short, dear wife" said he, 81 have
never been idle an Instant
"And l, too, my lord, have not been
idle" she said with pride. "Seer' And
here she led out before the electrified
audience four lovely children to be pre-
sented for the first time to their father.

NIillersburg Sarcasm.

Fond of Crab.

A jolly old boy from the Midlands

Is the Council Pursuing Either a
Wise or just Course ?

1t is in every way unfortunate that
the City Council instead ofsettling with
the banks on fair and equitable basis
like nearly every town Of i'm
portance in the state, has as
sumed the responsibility OF
appealing to the courts thus INVOLVING
the city in long and expensive htiga-
ton with probability of recovering
less after paying la vyer's fees and other
costs of litigation than the banks have
offered to pay in cash.
The News is confident that the bust
ness men and taxpayers or the city do
not approve of this litigation and desire
a fair and just settlement with the
banks. Every MAJ Of the most ordinary
capacity fully understands that the in
dividual citizen does not give his prop
erty In at anything like what he thinks
for, and that nearly every one who owns
taxable property forgets goot deal of
it when the assessor comes around, and
that to require banks to pay tax to tn
full value of statements that show to the
utmost fraction of cent the actual book
value of ever ything they claim TO have
is grossly inequitable and unfair, and
yet this is what the Council mean when
they say 1.-The banks must pay taxes like
other people," and Their proceed to try
to force them to pay more than twice as
much as "other people" on the same val
ne of taxable assets.
The Council should not make the mis-
take of supposlng the people Of Paris
have not intelligence enough to under
stand the difference between the way
the individual taxpayer and the bank
give in their property. The individual
justifies himself in concealing 25 to 50
per cent. of his taxable assets and giving
in the balance just as low as will pass
muster on the ground that every body
else does the same. The bank must un-
der heavy penalty show up the utmost
penny. Yet the Council and Board of
Supervisors accept the tax list of the in
dividual and permit them to pay tax on
it, and it is true he pays his tax dollar
for dollar" but on what? On what he
has given in and on the values al which
it is assessed. Nothing would please the
banks so we'll as to be allowed to pay
dollar for dollar" on the same kind of
valuation. To talk of other people be-
ing compelled to pay dollar for dol
lar" and the banks wanting the Council
to accept 70 per cent. from them is GER
tainly not expected to influence intelli-
gent people, for all such are fully
aware that when the banks offer to pay
70 per cent. o f the assets shown by their
statements they are offering to pay more
in proportion to their assets than any
citizen in the community
The proposition OF the banks to pay
70 per cent. valuation of their assets for

No one stopped the Stage.

The morning after the assassination
of President Lincoln the telegraph oper-
ator of small town in Ohio read a
passing dispatch which conveyed the
sorrowful information to him. This
speedily spread through the surrounding
country. and at II o'clock, when the
mail train was due, nearly 100 men had
oongregated to buy morning paper.
AS a matter of course not single pa
per remained, and all were in despair,
until some one remembered that the
postmaster was a regular subscriber,
and that the mail bag must contain
morning newspaper addressed to him.
The coveted paper found, the aged
postmaster proceeded to read to the peo-
pie who had crowded into the long
store the details of the murder. In the
crowd stood very patriotic but igno-
rant old man, who was ever making
pertinent suggestions
The voice of the reader faltered more
than once as he read the account. now
so familiar to all Americans Finally
he reached the point where it was said
of Booth that he "shrieked out sic
semper tyrannis, leaped ON the stage
and made his escape"
Throwing his old poke hat upon the
floor, the patriotic old man lifted his
hand aloft and shouted
Good gracious! Why didn't some
body have sense enough to stop the
stage?-Chicago Chronicle.
