NON AMMAN MUTAT.

The members of Company E, First
New York, have, through ]. Solely Cole,
paid a very pretty compliment to "our
best and fairest," and their sisters of
the Oneida Chapter of the Daughters
of the Revolution very promptly re-
sponded with a vote of thanks.
1t is a pleasant thing to find that the
work undertaken by our Honolulu la
dies has been appreciated by those who
were the recipients of the attention.
Honolulu, in former years, has been
noted for it's hospitality, and has had
reputation among the navies of the
world as a pleasant place to spend a
few weeks in and daily the time away
in bright amusement. But when the
troops began to pass through our har-
Dor, en- route to Manila, the holiday
side of military life began to show that
behind it was a far more serious side,
which needed untiring aid and some
self sacrifice to meet it,
This was soon realized by our ladies,
and as soon as the first transports had
passed through, the Honolulu branch of
the Red Cross Society was formed,
money raised and volunteer workers
readily found. When the military
camps were formed the work became
still more extended and naturally more
eXacting but it was cheerfully met,
and, as Mr.. Cole says, these ladies
smooth the pillows of the fever pa
tients, brought delicacies and flowers
to the convalescents, and followed to
the grave those who had passed away.
This work was done in the least os-
tentatious manner possible and show
ed that the womanhood of Honolulu
had the depth of character and the
sweetness of disposition which are the
truest and most lovable attributes of
the sex. 1t is satisfaction to know
that this work has touched the hearts
of the men who were here, and through
them the hearts of hundreds upon huns
dreds of mothers, sisters, wives, daugh-
tiers and sweethearts, in the Empire
State. In has shown them that true
| tropics as it does in the temperate
zone, and that the words of the old
Latin poet are true, when he wrote:
! "COelum non amman mutat qui trans
mare currit''-
| Who crosses seas may change her sky
! The heart beats true, unchanged for
aye.

ROAD MENDING.

Complaint comes about the mending
of the roads. The compliments are
those who drive valuable horses, and
who maintain that the present system
or lack of system is a menace to their
stock. When there is a hole in the
road this is filled with stones and ov-
err it is placed layer of earth and then
the road authorities lay back and wait
until a sufficient number of carts have
gone across the patch to crush the
stone and make it assimilate with the
surrounding roadway.
The danger lies in the fact that these
patches are soft, and when a horse is
driven quickly it is apt to stumble In
this way some horses have injured
their knees, and a case occurred in Lii
liha street the other day where a lady
was thrown over the dashboard under
the heels of her horse, and the ele-
ments of fatal accident were at hand
OF course the remedy for this is to
properly pick up the bit of road to be
mended, and using small stones have
the patch properly pounded and assim-
Hated to the surrounding surface. This
is what is done elsewhere, and what
should be done here. When we have
really had serious accident, or when
a minister gets a spill, we may look for
methodical road mending.

The Chinese empire is apparently go
ing to have a new deal. The world
will be anxious to find out what kind
of a puppet the empress dowager is
going to set up now. The old lady can
not live forever, indeed she must be
nearing her end, and when her con-
trolling hand is withdrawn the gov
eminent of China may be at the mercy
of opposing factions unless Lord
Charles Beresford's scheme is carried
out and the emperor's authority sup
ported by foreign bayonets until suffi-
cient Chinese are drilled by western
officers to give it the necessary boil

A brilliant classification of modern
nations was recently made by General
de Renzis, the Italian ambassador in
London. In a speech in his native city
of Capua, he said that the old CLASH
fication of nations as warlike and I'M
warlike, strong or weak, no longer
held. The modern classification should
be nations that work and nations that
do not work; nations that are rich and
nations that are poor. The first named
are trained by labor and developed by
wealth, the others decline in idleness
and are weakened by poverty. The
victories of the future will be won not
so much with military tactics and per-
sonal valor, as by productive labor, ma
tional prosperity and extensive trade.
In point of fact de Renzis strikes a
good key note. The lesson can be ap-
piled in many parts of the world. The
days of dolce far niente" are past. 1t
is struggling and restless world that
we live in, and that our posterity will
live in, and any nations which cannot
develop their resources and work
steadily will naturally go to the wall.

The effect of American administra-

Santiago, according to a correspond
ent from that city. The lands for a
large circuit are now being taken up
and cultivated, and where only few
scattering people were at work before
the war, there are now upwards Of
1000 employed in tilling the soil. Only
give these people a stable government,
and assure them that they will reap
the fruits of their labor, and they will
support themselves easily from the
fruitful land. A full stomach and mon

SHE GOT HERE AT 4 A. M.

The Philadelphia arrived off port at
4 a. m. this morning. BY the new
ukase which prohibits the town from
being informed by any signal of the
presence of any man of war or steam
er off our shores-a principal which
treats the grown members of the COM
munity as if they were naughty little
boys and girls who must be punished
to keep them in order-no one was
aware of the arrival till o'clock or so,
when the cruiser had come to anchor.
This was an eminently successful OBJ
ject lesson of the advantages of the
new system lately inaugurated. The
sooner the government establishes our
old telegraph system the better A
signal from Telegraph Hill would en-
able the whistle to be blown whenever
a vessel is sighted. With a little ar
whistles the public could be informed
whether the incoming vessel was
man of war, or a mail steamer from
San Francisco, Victoria, China, the
colonies, or whether it was a mere
tramp steamer. A very little ingenuity
would give all the information requir-
ed by anyone.

Berlin University has made another
step in advance. During the month of
January it conferred the Philosophical
Doctors degree upon Miss Elsa Neu-
mann. This is the first time this de-
gree has been conferred upon a wom-
an. The young Doctors special study
was physics, with mathematics and
philosophy as secondary branches. One
by one the older institutions of Eu-
rope are giving way before the pressure
of modern ideas. The time will come
when co-eds will compete with the
male undergraduates in both oxford
and Cambridge. But prejudice is a
terribly hard barrier to break down,
and the fOssilized ideas of centuries
form an almost insurmountabe barri-
er. The modern idea, however, is
bound to win in time, and co-education
will be a watchword in the next cen
fury. Fortunately, we in the west have
no prejudices to overcome.

The Saddles made by the
old natives of the Hawaiian
Islands were considered the
best and most comfortable
ever made. They have been
eagerly sought after and there
are very few now in existence
1t is claimed that there are
only two old natives now liv-
ing who have the ability to
make a perfectly comfortable
saddle tree. One of these is
on the island of Hawaii and
the other on Kauai. Unfor-
tunately they are too far adj
vanced in years to do much
work.
For a long time we have
been making efforts to find a
saddle that would nearly COM
pare with the old Hawaiian
Saddle, and we have struck it

proper one, and that the public is be-
ing distinctly deprived of information
which it should have. The protection
of its employees by the officials of the
telephone company is in their own
hands. But the saying whether the
town should or should not be informed
when a vessel is sighted is decidedly
ultra vires," outside of their province.
