THE W0MAN'S CLUB.
A Well Attended Meeting OF that
Rody Held Monday.

The first literary meeting OF the Wo-
mans Club was well attended Monday
afternoon and those present thoroughly
enjoyed the delightful papers read. The
subject was 1.-TWO English Writers and
Lovers OF Freedom" jerome Klapka
Jerome was first treated on by Mrs.
Henry Gibson in charming manner.
Mrs. Gibson said that an author was best
known by his works and her paper was
interspersed with extracts from the
author read most pleasingly.
Mrs r. William Pemberton then gave an
exhaustive and polished paper on
Rudyard Kipling that was excellently
delivered and we'll received. Mrs. Penn
berton. speaking OF Kipling's Women,
said: "Kipling Is man. knows man, is
very much man. except In one regard he
lacks the manly instinct that appreciates
the true womanly. His women do not
walk the stage firmly, they are put into
tho scene now and then, but as the cur
tain falls on the last act and we rise
from the play. we cannot escape the pro-
voking thought that It is to the property
room and not the green room that they
go There is blue grayness about them
as If the master were in doubt as TO the
proper tint or else had used up all the
coloring matter then available upon the
males. They become soul-silhouettes that
offend more by detail than inaccuracy OF
line. lie stands for the Zeit-Geist Of
Colonzing. while John Bull is forcing
unsought citizens upon the Transyaal Re-
public. and our own Uncle Sam wont to
be 50 generous. is giving Filipinos by
podermatic injections Of the red-hot
gospel Of civilization. who shall enter a
demurrer that Kiplng be rated Master
Rard Of this generation of the Saxon
Race"
After the readings tea and cake were
served. Some of the guests OF the club
were Mrs. Brown. Of Philadelphia; Mrs.
p. II. Gibson, Mrs. Newton. Burgwyn,
watkins. Houston, Misses Wilson and
Lusie Gibson.

WANT TWO0F THE CRUISERS.
The Trigg Company Working Hard
for the Contracts.

The w. X. Trigg Company is making
a determined effort to secure two Of the
new cruisers for which appropriation has

Reasonably certain Of one cruiser, the
officials of the company are sparing no
effort 10 be awarded the building of two.
The Richmond company submitted 10 the
Navy Department communication set
ting forth their ability and desire TO build
two Of the nineteen-knOt ships on the
company's plans for sums within the APP
propriation
The company's bid for each ship was

The c0mpanys bid for one ship was
100000
The limit of cost for each cruiser, as

The Trigg Company shows that these

in its opinion, be. superior TO those on
the departments plans.

But the box Office is open that

will place an employee at the door
OF the box Office five or six hours
in advance of the opening hour, and
then take his place and proceed to

those who come in at the opening

There have been number of
comments in regard to the Galician
laborers lodged in Oahu Jail since
The INDEPENDENT took up the cud-
gels for the poor men and criticised
the outrageous laws which permit
men to be treated as criminals for
refusing to work under contracts
which virtually place them on par
with slavery. We certainly blame
the infamous laws which force the
Galicians to take the choice of 60
ing to Jail or returning to the slave
drivers on the sugar estates but we
fail to see how Mr. Dole could inter-
fere in the matter. Ii he, tomorrow,
asked the Council of State to par
don the men who refuse to work
under a contract, and if pardon
were granted, the "civil" part of the
contracts would be enforced and
every man e-arrasted to go to work
in the cane fields, Mr.. Dole can no
more break our laws than Mr.. Judd
can. The laws may be very much
at fault but they are there until re-
voked. The blame falls on the rot
ten Government of Mckinley which
failed or neglected to extend the
laws Of the great R-Pnh'c To thrse
unfortunate Islands which are
neither territory, eolouy, inLe-
pendent or annexed. The Gaiicians
are we'll treated While hey are in
care OF JaiIor Henry. But what will
they do when the day come when
he must open the door of the prison
and tell them to ''get?" They will
wish that they we're once more un-
der his tender rule or at home un-
der the flag of Austria.
