The Young Mems Republican Club is
against the framing of a charter before

lIeves Il not feasible to frame such
charter as Is needed for cosmopolitan

N tina. q commission should be APP
poanted by the Legislature to investi-
gate the subject of a municipal charter.
mako a careful study of all the city's
needs and report in the next two years.
The general opinion prevails that the
charters of San Francisco or OF New
York are inapplicable to Honolulu and
that an original charter adapted clear
IL to its special requirements must be
drafted.
The result of the evenings delibera-
tons was a resolution as the sense of
the club that the charter should be
considered only by a commission APP
pointed by the Legislature and that no
attempt whatever should be made to
draft one at present.
The club expressed its disapproval of
the plan to place the framing Of a
charter In the hands of thirty repre-
sentative citizens-twelve Republicans,
twelve Independents and six Demo
crats-as proposed by the Independents
q short time ago.
Several speeches were made by the
members Of the club and an express

ICE COMPANIES TO JOIN.
Plans OF Peoples and tho Hawaiian

Inc CONCEALED atmosphere between
the Peoples Ice & Refrigerating Com
pany and the Hawaiian Electric Com
pany, which also deals in ice, was
thawed out yesterday and the Peoples
Ice Company will be solidified into that
of the Electric Company.
AT meeting held yesterday by the
shareholders of the Peoples Ice Com
pany, with j. A. McCandless, the presi-
dent. in the chair. the recent action of
the Peoples Ice Company directors in
making proposition to the Electric
Light Company to take over their bant
ana business, was ratified UNANIMOUSLY
Ihe scheme is to sell the entire plant
OF the Peoples Company to the Electric
company. The Electric Company
agreed to pay for the plant with Il. DOC
snares OF paid up stock, Of the par value
OF $lo0 share. The Peoples Ice Com
pdny mad not been manufacturing ice
Ior some time. They quit when the
electric company began to manufac-
lure Ice for its refrigerating plant. but
the People's Company sold The product

by the President, Lorrin Andrews.

After the regular business of the club
rad been disposed of the president in
vited the opinions of all present on the
subject of municipal charters with
especial reference to that to be de-
signed for the city of Honolulu. The
MEMBERS responded, nearly all agree
irg that the present plan was prema-
ture
President Andrews said: I'VE should
wait until we see what the Legislature
Is going to do. The question has come
up. what do we want to do? If we go
in with the Independents and there is
anything wrong with the charter, they
will blame the Republican party for it,
as they did during the campaign when
they laid the effects of the plague at
the door of the Republican party. Sup
pose we do name some men to join with
the Independent party to frame mu-
nicipal charter and anything goes
wrong-the Independents will say the
Republicans did 1t. Most Of the rich
people and the majority Of the intelli-
gent people are Republicans. The In
dependents are against that class and
are ready to believe any lies said
against them. Who, I say, will get the
blame in the end? Not the Independ-
ents. but the Republicans. and they will
be blackguarded and accused OF every
crime on the calendar.
I'VE are supposed to prepare char
ter for the city government. 1t must
not conflict with the United States
statutes or the Territorial laws. How
can any men in this city of the mex
perience of men like you and me frame
charter which will not conflict with
these laws? 1t has been suggested
that we pick out thirty representative
men-twelve Republicans, twelve Inde-
pendents and six Democrats-to do this.
Well. we have had experience in the
making of nominations lately. Did the
Independents pick out the best men in
the community? No. They were men
who could claim their favor in some
way or. another. When 1t comes to
nominating men to frame a charter
they are not going to pick out repre-
sentative men. They will pick out dem
agogues, men who will excite the pas
sions of the people. That is the kind
of men we are to compete with. Ala
bama Mitchell wants to turn out Gov
ernor Dole and all the Government Of
ficials. He wants to put in men who
are Royalists-every one of them, and
revenge himself by getting rid of every
missionary in office. That Is the kind
of men the Independents will pick out
1T is foolish to expect them to dc
anything else. Do we want to join

 The late Lord Monson, however, who
 died the other day at Florence was cremated in due form, as was his elder brother and predecessor, Lord Oxen

 to the advantages of cremation over or dinary burial for they have abandoned
 the ancestral vault and mausoleum at
 Carlton, and have caused to be con- structed immediately adjoining the pri- vate chapel a sort of columbarium of carved ornamental stone, bearing the

ORIGINAL BLooMER GIRL.

Travellers in the farming district just on the outskirts of Vineland, N. J., have their curiosity aroused by the sight of a woman, attired in mems trousers, blowing. planting. or hoeing in the field. She is Miss Susan Fowler, aged 76, Vineland's oldest new wo- man."
 Miss Fowler was, in fact, the original bloomer girl She adopted the reform dress more than half a century ago. She usually wears a close fitting coat. just reaching to the knees. sometimes of corduroy, often of cheviot. Miss Fowler suggests, however, the chic bloomer costume as especially suitable for girls.
 She is a carpenter, wood chopper, au- thoress, lecturer and magazine contrib utor. She lives alone, and, though a wee Jersey maid, weighing only Si pounds, goes about the farm saving wood, blowing, seeding, hoeing and at tending to the stock in strong leather boots that reach to her knees. and into which she almost always tucks her trousers.
 NeNighborS marvel at the physical endurance of thls Jersey farmer wo- man, but she ascribes it partly to her reformed mode of dress, and partly to belief in Christian Science.-Toledo News.

Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in do- ing it's work.

by writer in the Lancet, we learn that the treatise in question, which was written somewhere in the second cen tury, A. D., was discovered in 1S40 and purchased by the Bibliotheque Ma tionale. The MS. was frequently re- ferred to by ancient authors, and there seems no reason to doubt that it is really the work of the famous physi- clan. Be that as it may, it is note worthy that the treatise is a scientific anticipation of the banting system, which became popular about the middle of this century. Galen deprecates the use of drugs, and says that the proper way to reduce fat is by dieting. He recommends eating leeks, onions, mus tard and nasturtiums, among green herbs, and fishes which haunt rocks and birds frequenting mountains, say ing that aquatic birds are fat produc- CTS. One of his most curious hints is that vegetables which have been pre- served in vinegar or brine are food for the fat, and herein he anticipates the mixed pickles" which are considered on the continent to be purely English invention. Some of his recommenda- tions read very comically nowadays, but all of them are full of common sense, and it seems extraordinary that so much knowledge should be lost to the world for so many years. There is nothing new under the sun, not even the present craze for slim figure, and Galen's treatise shows us that after all people of 1,700 years ago were men of like passions with ourselves.-London Globe.

viting an open break in the Franco- sral weeks at Darmstadt, on almost the very frontiers of France, without push ing on to Paris.
 Talking of the czar, his ukase prohib- iting baccarat, either in clubs or in pri- vate houses, is likely to prove just as useless and as much of a dead letter as the memorable decree of his father for bidding his subjects to play at the pub lie gambling tables of Monte Carlo. The gambling instinct is more deeply inn planted in the character of the Rus sians than in that of any other nation in the world. One and all are born gamblers, among the most passionate being the grand dukes and grand duch- esses of the reigning family. The czar's uncle, the sailor Grand Duke Alexis, is devoted to cards, and is never so happy as when playing baccarat, while it is entirely due to the influence of the czar's aunt, the Grand Duchess Vladi- mir, that roulette tables are now com prised in the furniture of every fash ionable salon in the Russian capital. In fact, the grand duchess long ago gave it to be understood that she would not care to attend entertainments at any houses where she could not have her baccarat and her roulette.
 Nicholas and the czarina, by their very position and by their tastes, are altogether out of touch with St. Peters burg society, whereas the Grand Duch- ess Vladimir is it's acknowledged lead CT, and sets the very rapid pace fer which it is distinguished. Society there- fore will take it's cue from her, rather than from the emperor, and as long as she continues to play roulette and bac- carat, and to insist on having them played at houses which she frequents, they will go on, unless the emperor re- sorts to the extreme measure of fninS and imprisoning his own aunt, thereby provoking an inevitable revolution among the members of his family.
 General Sir Alfred Gaselee, com- mander of the Anglo-Indian force now on it's way to the scene of the trouble in China, is the son of that famous judge who is the original of Charles Dickens MT. Justice Stareleigh,' who presided at the breach of promise trial ot Bardwell versus Pickwick." The analogy between the names of Stare
 
 fly apparent were the latter name to be spelled with ''z," as "Gazeleigh," in stead of with an "s" Incidentally I may mention that there. is a bona fide case on record of Brooke versus Pick wick, where the defendant was the well known coach proprietor of Bath MT. Pickwick, from whom Dickens avowedly took the name of his mem orable papers. The action was not, however, one for breach of promise. but to recover damages for the loss of a trunk, and the presiding judge. oddly enough, bore the name of Gazelee. Cen eral Sir Alfred Gaselee was educated dt Felsted school, which dates back to the time of the Reformation, and to which Oliver Cromwell sent Richard and his other sons to be educated. The great Protector must have often been in the quaint old Essex village, where he school has been situated for so mary hundred years, as his father-in-law home was only a short distance away
