IN MEMORY OF MRS b. s.
WALKER

Lay her down among the roses, with
the fringes OF her eyes
Softer than their silver petals
Closed for blissiul revcries
Fold her hands as in prayer on her
breast
Fear not Tor their folded lightness,
On the heart unmoving pressed.
For that heart OF angel brightness
Tired so early lies at rest
Lay her low among the roses.
Angels knew her more than we
They have led her home from wander
ing,
Tired with earthly revelry
And above her rosy pillow let her sim
pie tale be told,
Here the lover OF the lines babe a
little blossom fold.
He that wakes the flowers shall wake
her white as snow

FAST DRIVING.

Every day. the danger to life and
limb from vehicles in the streets of
Honolulu increases. The number of
accidents that occur is not nearly so
remarkable as the number narrowly
averted. Ii is fast becoming so that
in crossing Fort street a man practi-
cally takes his life in his own hands
The delightful sensation of lodging a
flying hack at one hand to run into
another similar peril in front is new
to very few people of the city.
1t has been suggested that a rule be
adopted by the Minister of Interior for
bidding any vehicle traversing Fort
street at a rate of speed faster than a
walk. The objection to this idea is that
it does not cover the case. Other
streets and centers are crowded also,
betimes. The waterfront, Union square
and Nuuanu street have been the
scenes of several notable accidents
quitely recently.
The only reasonable, sensible, bust
ness-like plan is TO get directly after
the drivers. At present the punish
iltHI LOT luIlOuS VI LttuleSS vi NlilS
Is wholly inadequate. A short time
ago, in a case of criminal carelessness
on the part of a driver, as a result of
which Mr.. Wilson's arm was broken
and his life seriously imperled, a rne
Of only $25 was imposed by the Police
Judge. The hackman on this occasion
chuckled over the light punishment.
usually, however the fines for such
"utrages are less, being $40 and as low
5 So.
The Minister of Interior is given the
authority by the legislature to formu-
late rules for public conveyances and
to prescribe punishment for infrac-
tons thereof. To this set OF rules, as
at present made up, there should be
added rider providing that the Ii
cense of a driver Of any public con-
veyance shall become void immediate
ly upon his conviction in the courts
of furious or needless driving.
The effect can readily be imagined,
The hack driver will at once see his
doom beyond the brink of a court con-
viction for either of the offenses nam
ed (Which covers all the public is in
terested in) and will exercise extreme
care to avoid accidents. At the same
time the rule will gradually weed out
the incompetent drivers of hacks and
