the constitntionality of that method
of taxation, it being the nature of
post facto legislation.

sor Agassiz. He has not been idle
during any of his recent tour, but has
a great task in compiling, for lectures
and for publication under his direction
all of the data, with maps and figures,
gathered during the past few months.
One important work, perhaps the one
of most moment will be an elaboration
Of the lecture delivered in Pauahi hall
for the University Club. Several
other subjects will be handled. Pro-
fessor AgassiZ is equally noted in ZOO
logy and geology and the first subject
noted will receive several additions to
its literature and text books as one Of
the results of this trip.
The noted scientist hopes to again
return to Hawaii. He says he has al
ways had an aloha for the Islands and
that since he extended his acquain-
tance here finds Honolulu doubly
charming and himself doubly 10th to
leave it.

NOT SO MUCH.
Tent Plav Actor People Rather
Fail at Cricket.

Oil a. III IShSts
The much talked-of game of cricket
between an eleven representing the
off yesterday, and although witnessed
by but a few outsiders, furnished much
entertainment for the participators in
the contest. The strength of the visi-
tors was a somewhat unknown guam
tity, but it very soon became appar-
ent that they were not a match for
the Honoluluites.
At 4:15 the latter had piled up no
less than so runs, with only 6 wickets
down and Captain Herbert declared
the inning closed, to give the oppo-
nents a chance The latter then went
to the wickets, but fell down like nine
pins before the bowling of Mackin-
tosh, who was in capital form. Being
all disposed of for a total of IS, they
had their second innings, which reach
ed the score of 27 only, so that the
home team practically won by an in
nings and 40 runs with four wickets
to spare. 1t was learned afterwards
that only four or five Willison men
pretend to be real cricketers, and for
that reason it would be invidious to
| give the individual scores
Mr.. A. B. Walford, the friend and
guest of British Commissioner Kenny
and captain of the Yokohama cricket
! club, showed himself to be a good
| batsman, with a total of 13 runs.
! Double figures were also reached by
! the ever reliable Herbert 06) and by
Messrs. Hamilton and Macintosh
who both carried their bats, with Is
and Ia to their credit respectively.
! For the circus Messrs. w. Silveni
(captain), S. Marks and E. Gillesnir
did most of the work, the latter reach
ing total Of Is, when he was cleverly
caught by r. A. Jordan.
The visitors were most courteous
and goodtempered despite their de-
feat and at the conclusion of the game
Mr.. Willison kindly invited all the
Honolulu men to witness his evening
performance. The compliment was
duly appreciated, and all that were
able availed themselves of the invita-
| ton.

A CUP FOR EACH
individual Drinking Cups as a
Sanitary Measure.
ABSENCE OF MRS. THOMPSON
Work Goes On-CondolenCe- Re-
signation-A Furlough-Authori
Commends the KindergartenS.

Among the other appointments TO
be kept Yesterday morning by the
women of Honolulu was the meeting
of the Board of Supervisors of the
Free kindergarten Association. 1t was
held at Queen Emma Hall, and was
largely attended, almost no one being
away except for sickness or absence
from the country.
Besides the usual reports there were
a few matters of business which were
quickly disposed of. Mrs. Atherton S
resignation as chairman of the Eva
Plantation Kindergarten Committee
was presented and accepted with re-
gret. Her successor, who is not yet
named will be appointed at the March
meeting. Mrs Schmidt asked to be
relieved temporarily of her duties as
chairman of the Foreign Kindergar-
ten. Mrs. S. M. Damon was chosen
to fill the position for a little time.
The Hawaiian and Portuguese Kin
dergartens have followed the praise
worthy example set by the Foreign
Kindergarten in having little individ-
ual drinking cups 1t is precedent
that all schools may follow and be-
fore long all the Honolulu Kinder
gartens will adopt this sanitary meas
ure. All the kindergartens are in
need of little hand towels, so that
each child may have his own. Now
| that especial attention has been direc-
| ted to sanitary matters, various re-
forms will be instituted and every OPP
portunity for improvement will be
| considered.
In Mrs. Thompson's absence her
sanitary work has been carried on by
girls from Kawaiahao and Kameha-
meha schools, but Mrs. Thompson has
been sorely missed. 1t will be remem-
| bered that in her capacity of nurse at
the Kamehameha School, Mrs. Thomp-
son was injured by lancet and blood
poisoning ensued. Her suffering was
not at all the result of her generous
labor in the kindergartens. Mrs
| Hyde gave an encouraging report OF
her condition, and it was the wish OF
the meeting that the secretary be di-
rected to write letter to Mrs. Thomp-
son, telling of the widespread sym
| pathy that is felt for her in her dis
tressing illness, of the rejoicing in her
| Improvement and Of the hopes that
are entertained for her speedy re-
covery
Professor AgassiZ has shown his in
terest in the free kindergartens of the
city by visiting all of them with DR.
and Mrs. Hyde. He declares himself
charmed with the architecture of the
buildings and thinks the conditions OF
| sunshine and open air are exception
ally fine for the children. His sister
was instrumental in organizing free
l1indergartens in Boston and was ac-
lively connected with them until they
were taken in charge by the Board
Of Education

Bicycle Legislation.

An attorney has been employed to
draft an act for the regulation of the
use of bicycles. The uses and abuses
and rights and penalties of machine
ownership and use will be clearly de-
fined. An effort will be made to pre-
sent an act that will really regulate
the use of the wheel about the streets
and roads as we'll as to afford de-
served protection to owners and riders
of machines. Effort will also be made
to have the rule of the road as to
turning to the right strictly enforced
for all time and to apply to all way
farers. AT present this rule is so often
disregarded that people who try to
abide by it suffer frequently.
