Metropolitan Meat Go

1T is OUR INTENTION TO
inaugurate new system in the de.
livery OF meat to our customers
As you are aware, it has been the
custom in Honolulu for years past
Ga custom born of the pre-refriger-
ator days) to have the meat cut up
during the night aud delivered early
each morning. In many ways this
system has proved unsatisfactory,
and we have therefore determined
to try daytime delivery instead.
1t is proposed to have in some
parts OF the city two deliveries per
day, one in the morning, with meat
for lunch or dinner, he other in the
afternoon, when meat for dinner, or
breakfast the following morning, can
be sent. Orders will be taken by
telephone each evening as at present
and before II noon for the after
noon delivery. This system will also
give householders an opportunity of
coming to the market to select their
own cute, which can be sent out on
the afternoon delivery.
It is also hoped that it may be
possible under this system and by
making a late delivery on Saturday
afternoon to do away with Sunday
work, which has always been an OBJ
jectionable feature of the old meth.
cd.
AS we are desirous Of giving satis-
faction to our customers in every
way, we hope that they will be will
ing to give the proposed system
fair trial. as we believe that when it
is perfected it will be found to work
to their benefit as we'll as our own.
We shall start our first daily de-
liverv on Monday next, April 10th.
Yours respectfully,
METROPOLlTAN MEAT co,

ably over 100000 men. 1t Is assumed
that 1t is contemplated to place into
commission the reserve squadron, vir-
tually calling under arms the entire
naval resources of the British Empire.
Then, too, there is that CassandTa
like speech Of warning addressed last
week to the House of Lords by Lord
Rosebery, whose opportunities Of in
formation are altogether exceptional,
since in moments of International crisis
the ministers of the day are frequently
in the habit of communicating dis
patches relating to foreign affairs TO
the leaders of the opposition, so that in
the event of any change of Cabinet
there may be no interruption in the
continuity of the foreign policy of the
nation. Besides this, Lord Rosebery
is, through his marriage, not merely a
close relation of the Rothschilds, but
TO all intents and purposes, a partner
in that great banking mouse, which ever
since the battle of Waterloo, in the
early part of the century, has always
prided itself upon securing news in adj
vance, not only of the public. but even
of the government.
Danger af Intervention.
The danger which threatens England
can only be one, namely, that of inter
vention in behalf of the South African
republics, with view of preventing
Great Britain from depriving them of
their independence as the result OF the
present war. Continental Europe's OBJ
Ject in desiring the continued indepen-
dence of the South African republics is
to enable the latter to serve as a means
of menace and pressure upon England
which as long as these republics con-
tinue independent can never feel sure
that they will not take advantage of
any trouble in Europe or Asia to strike
her in the back.
Just on this account. 1t is vital to
Great Britain that she should deprive
the republics of all further power of
harming her in South Africa by sub
jecting them no longer to mere suZer-
ainty, as heretofore, but to full-fledged
sovereignty. Under no circumstances
can she tolerate a condition of affairs
which will permit either the Transvaal
or the Orange Free State to become an
instrument against herself in the hands
of any hostile powers IN Europe. that
IS why Great Britain will not and can
not permit foreign Intervention in be-
..alf of the South African republics by
any combination of foreign powers, and
will be prepared to resist the slightest
move in this direction by force of arms.
That an attempt to intervene will be
made Is certain. In fact, as pointed out
in letter on the subject in these col
umns couple of Sundays ago, no war
during the last fifty years has been
brought to a conclusion without an en-
deavor being made by acknowledgement
powers to rob the victor of all the fruits
of his successes, Russia, Japan, Tur-
key and Austria furnishing striking IL
Illustrations thereof. The United States,
however, did not permit continental
Europe to deprive her of the proceeds
of her victories over Spain two years
ago, and England may be relied upon to
show the same defiance in the face of
the demands of continental Europe
when the present war in South Africa
comes to an end.

Navy Uniforms.

Prior 20 1747 there was neither es-
tablished rank nor a prescribed uni
form in the British navy, and the
adoption Of the latter is told TO be due
to an accident. George II. met the
Duchess of Bedford on horseback in a
blue riding habit faced with white, and
the King was so well pleased with the
effect of it that, a question having just
been raised as 10 the prOpriety OF de-
Gliding upon some uniform dress for
the navy, he Immediately commanded
the adoption of these cOlOrs. By an
order of council. dated February 10,
1747, the rank and uniform Of admir-
ais. captains, lieutenants and midship-
men was established, but as late as
forty years after this order there were
all sorts of habiliments 20 be met with
in the navy, especially among the
midshipmen, and an old admiral de-
scribes his dress as midshipman as foI-
