Various Questions Brought Up at
a Meeting.

One Protest From Town People
One Reauest-New Corpora
tions-Next Election.

There was an unusually long session
of the Executive Council yesterday.
The Minister OF Interior was COM
PEELED TO be absent a part OF the time
on account os demands for this present
in his department. President Dole and
the other members OF the Cabinet were
in attendance and gave close attsn-
ton to business for more tan three
hours.
Attorney l.. \. Thurston appeared
the Hawaii railway line to be pro-
NOTED by b. +. d illingham and Col
Whyte. The attorney explained a.
length a number of points that the
corporation wished to have covered in
its charter and that Il wished to- enter
upon the development OF the country
in the neighborhood Of Hilo on such
a basis that there could not hereafter
be disagreements with the Govern
ment. The Cabinet is favorable to- she
pian in general. but - taking time TO
see that the interests Of the public are
completely protected. There Is no In
timation that the company is after
Exceptional advantages. but the C1bi-
net is cautious and will take another
day or two TO consider before deciding
on several quite important features
| 4 protest signed by n number OF
ladies and gentelmen OF the ctsy was
presented and referred to Capt. King
Minister OF the Interior. This Is
against continuance OF n hack stand
at the corner OF Nuuanu and Berctania
streets. II is claimed that the stand
is a bad feature OF the surroundings ot
the extensive free kindergarteu-t that
the corner indicated. II was mentioned
or remarked incidentally that there are
one or two other hack stands in Ho-
nolulu that Were proper subjects for
reform in one way or another.
The committee that Is arranging for
the monster Sunday School rally OF
which considerable has been said in
TINS paper. waited upon the Cabinet.
The use OF the Executive Building
grounds for the rally day is very much
desired. 1t is likely that the request
will be granted. but no action was
taken yesterday.
Articles OF incorporation OF the Mau-
nalei Plantation company have been
filed W ith the Minister OF Interior and
have received the approval Of the At
Itorney General. The capital is $1,000
600 in shares OF siO0 each, with the
privilege OF increasing TO s3.OOO.OOO.

lporators: T. +. Lansing. VIM. NJ. Min

BY permission OF the Cabinet the
Honolulu Iron Works Company has
Increased its capital stock from $780,
900 to 100000 and has the privilege
of going to 81. 900. 900. The Iroa Works
company. Il is known, Is soon to- move
its great plant from Queen street q

1t is apparently the understanding
OF the Cabinet that now Hawaii ha.
no Washington legislation. there rs e
be an election here as usual In Septem

Dear Grandma is sitting,
And quietly knitting,
While small boy and girl 80 gay,
There over her shoulder,
To her ear closely hold her,
A gold watch that's ticking away
Then, they are tip-toeing,
And laughing and showing,
That watch shining bright and 40
brave,
So she drops her stitches,
And calls for her switches,
To make them sit down and behave.
Before and behind her,
Now they look to find her,
Those stitches drop't down at her
feet.
Then she plies her knitting,
No more minds their twitting,
She can't hear the watch tick and
beat.
But can hear a clock-there
That stands like rock there
Tall, hard by the old mantel shelf,
That is wound up each night, sir,
And it runneth all right, sir,
Tho tbs older by years than herself.
1t was made by one Goodon'-
And it's works are all wooden,
No gold and no jewels are there.
1t has meier lost an hour.
And it runs with such power,
1t won that gold watch at the Fair.
And so she is smiling,
At the watch that's beguiling,
That gay boy and girl at her side,
She is seeing and hearing
The clock that is nearing
Its century ring, true and tried,

THIS WEEK. |


Yard cleaning is beginning to bud,
will soonbe in full bloom.
We are glad to report that those
who were on the sick list last week
are out again.
Miss Lena Kirtley, of Frankfort,
visited the Misses Utterback this
week.
Miss Ola Hawkins spent Saturday
night near Bridgeport.
Mrs. Will Jet, from Cedar Run,
visited Mr.. A.. b. Read and family
the first of the week.
Mr.. B. ID. Tracy, wife and child,
who live near Flat Creek, visited
relatives in this vicinity this week.
Miss Katy Sanford, of Choateville,
spent last week with Mrs. Flynn.
Several Of the young ladies in our
community have been selling tickets
for the church entertainment at
Bridgeport, and they deserve credit
for it. We admire them for being 80
interested in their church work and
have helped them all we could. We
wish them all the success possible
and hope they will be more than
paid for their trouble by having a
large crowd and make nice sum of
money for the church, which needs
1t badly.
Mr.. John Moore, from Benson,
was in our community last week.
Why can't we organize a prayer.
meeting to meet every week some
where? There are enough people in
this vicinity to have splendid
prayer-meeting. If some one will
only make the start 1 believe 1t would
be a success. Have union meeting
and just think how much nicer It
would be than 1t is to stay at home
and seem so selfish.

General Eagan will for the present
avoid court martial. the only result of his

him by the president and Secretary Alger.
General Eagan does not dream of dis

had under consideration this afternoon
the communication from The war CON-

at II o'clock this morning.
There Is not one army officer with whom
the correspondent talked today that did
not roundly criticise General Eagan for
the gross INSTRUMENTATION and dsrespsct
which he showed in the statement he made
yesterday and grave apprehension Is felt
that the effects will be far reaching.
Secretary Alger did not attcmp, to
with General Miles today,
