Since Lord Salisbury laid il down in
terms unmistakable that the British
globe-trotter has no claim 10 be enter
tanned at the expense of her Majesty's
representatives abroad, We have been
making inquiries as TO the nature and
extent of these claims on the hospital
ity of our Consuls.
The result is both striking and anus
ing. In his circular letter. which was
published recently in the Daily Mail,
Lord Salisbury referred ito the in
creased burdens which are thrown up
on her Majesty's representatives
abroad by the large number of British
travellers who now pass through al
most every capital, and who are some
times considered as having a claim on
the hospitality of her Majesty's mis-
siOnS there
AS Il typical instance of what the
globe-trotter expects from the Consul
we give the following, which has been
received from one OF these much-suf-
fering officials, who occupies post in
one OF the Mediterranean ports much
freQuented by tourists. 1t is his eX-
perience OF what he describes as the
popular opinions" entertained by the
average Britisher when abroad in re
gard to Aer Majesty's Consuls, and he
affirms its absolute veracity.
That the Consulate and its furniture
is the property Of H. Ms Government.
That the same is the case with re-
gard TO the ConsuIs private house.
That he has both gratis

ceedings as he pleases.
That he is responsible for all the
vagaries Of railway companies.
That he can find lost baggage if he

That ne can instantly recover stolen

That he is bound to cash checks.
That he has funds at mis- command

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
Alhert'S Good Luck in Being Mis-
taken for Sam.

The education Of the Honolulu
Johnny IS being watched with consid-
erable interest by the chaps who have
been over the route. The local young
men 50 inclined are just having their
first chances and are readily making
the best Of them \ coed story is out
on pair OF the blcods emulating the
city sports who believe that a real
good time is a high old time and that
gold pieces were made round so that
they could be rolled along easily. \
few evenings ago the bloods. both nice
boys, but intent on making records,
had some dances and conversation
with some pretty ladies Of the stage.
Call one OF the lads Sam and the other
Albert. After the ball Sam, feeling
certain that the ladies were athirSt in
consequence of the heat OF the ball
room, sent TO their cottage couple of
quarts of champagne with several
pounds of cracked ice, reduced in the
machine that Harry Conor goes
through in A Trip to Chinatown. One
OF the most engaging of the young
ladies left the cottage so soon as the
D!S DOtS arrived ana TuSISu 10 lut
place where Sam and Albert had last
been seen. Sam. after paying for the
wine. had gone home. Albert was
writing a letter for the outgoing
steamer Now the maiden was not
positive on Identities. Had met lots OF
the boys, don't you know. She ad-
dressed Albert as Sam, thanked him
for the thoughtfulnesS shown in ord
ering the wine and invited him to join
the party and assist in making away
with the cool and sparkling beverage.
Did Albert accept the name Of Sam
and the invitation? Well, rather. And
Sam is such a good fellow that he con-
siders the joke a joke and pays the
penalty of for once rather forgetting
himself. AS was intimated, the edu-
cation of the Honolulu Johnny is pro-
crossing and the florists and the bon
bon makers and a few other sellers of
dainty merchandise will do we'll and
after awhile green room viii be
built where it is needed.

Need Not Be Seen.

There are used in enormous Quanti-
ties in Chinatown and the Japan Sea
various foods that manifest themselves
when unseen. Dried fish and soy are
the worst. They are loud. The fish
comes from both China and Japan.
The soy is from Japan alone. 1t is a
relish of picked vegetables, and is the
bane of the lives of transportation
people and such haoles as are COMPEL
ed to import it. The Board of Health
has never acted upon the matter of
these smells, or doors, as nuiSanceS,
and one of the Board members says it
is doubtful if anything can be done.

After deciding thai the Stars and
Kamehamehas should form two Of the
teams Of the league, the question OF
the third team came up.
j. kimball, Of the artillery, spoke in
favor Of = com bined team from the
batteries. This was objected to by
members Of Battery X. who asked
that their battery be allowed to put in
a separate team. II was finally decid-
ed that the first plan should be adj
hered to, and that the third team
should be from the artillery, and not
from any sepaTaeC battery.
It was unanimously carried that the
arrangement made with the association
should Be adopted. This is that fifty
per cent goes 70 the association and
fifty per cent % the league, of which
twenty-five goes TO the winning team,
fifteen TO the losing and ten for general
expenses.
The first game Of the league season
will be played on the 9th of this
month. On the oath, Queen Victoria's

RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES.

Treasury Records Show Largest Income
In Thirty-TwO Years.
The statement of the government
receipts and expenditures will show
that during the half year ending Sun
day the receipts aggregated $245, 961,
800, against 1907, 769, 574 for the same
period of last year.
According to the treasury records
these receipts are the largest since
1866, when they reached $3.50, O32, 500
for the entire fiscal year and $3.50, 634,
O10 in 1867. With the exception of
these two years the receipts have new
err before, in the history Ct the coun-
