COUNCILS DOINGS
ARE KEPT SECRET
Only two Unimportant Notes
Gwen out for the Public's
Information

The proceedings at the Governors
council yesterday were of such ma
ture as to demand great secrecy APP
parently, for although the council was
in session most of the morning, when
the request was made for information
of it's transactions from the Governors
secretary, but two small items, one re-
lating to the completion of the road
around Diamond Head, which was pub
lished in the Advertiser last week, and
another relating to a very unimportant
license matter were divulged.
AS given out by the secretary Mr..
McCandless was reported to have stat
ed to the Council that work would be-
gin on the new road as soon as possible
and that it would begin at the mauka
end so as to open connection with the
road through Kailnuki as soon as pos
sible. SO that when the work was going
on on the end next to Waikiki resi-
dents beyond Diamond Head would be
able to use the old road.
A resolution was also passed by the
Council that hereafter no dealers Ii
censes for the sale of liquor should be
granted to any one occupying store
where merchandise was sold or should
be given to any one occupying room
opening into room where liquor was
sold. This action was the result of the
application Of H. Hamano for a license

STRIKE
HAS BEEN SETTLED

The telephone strike as far as the
male opedators are concerned has been
settled amicably. The demand of the
men that the company increase their
wages IS a month was acceded to and
the men say there is nothing more for
them to ask. They are at work and the
walkout of last week which threatened
to put the telephone system in pilikia
has after all made only a temporary
inconvenience to the subscribers.
Yesterday forenoon the directors of
the company held a meeting and the
strike was thoroughly discussed. The
demand of the male operators was met
without much opposition and goes into
effect at once.
The "hello" girls who first struck are
still out. In fact they are shut out for
the company is filling up the gaps at
the switchboard with new girls. Two
of the original strikers have been taken
back by the company and are at work
with the "scabs'' as their striking sis
ters term them.

Fears for the campania.

NEW YORK, Sept. S0.-Many hours
overdue is the Cunard line steamship
Campania. She should have arrived
mere early yesterday morning. Instead,
she had not been sighted up to o'clock
this morning. Naturally there is much
speculation over the delay and the
usual ru,nors of accident and disaster
floated through shipping circles.
OF course, there is no tangible fact
on which to base these tales of disaster
Ordinarily the Campania is about
twelve hours ahead of the American
liner in reaching the companys piers

cabin passengers of the Campania were

DID TIDAL WAVE
STRIKE NOME?
But for an Island the City
Might Have Disap-
peared.

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept 29.-The gen.
orally accepted opinion at Nome is that
the recent storm and deluge was moth
ing more or less than a tidal wave,
which, had it not been for the protec-
ton afforded by ST. Lawrence Island,
would have swept the town out of sight
and another horror similar to the one
at Galveston would have been recorded
Captain c. b. Owens, of the schooner
Zenith, which was anchored about
three miles out from the beach and was
driven on shore by the waves, confirms
this belief He says:
I'VE were anchored in nine fathoms
of water on the 18TH Inside of two
hours there was ten and half fathoms
of water under US. The anchor did not
lift, and am of the opinion that the
rise was due to a tidal wave, which
had 1t not been for the friendly shelter
of St. Lawrence Island, would have
swept over Nome and blotted it out Of
existence. The island served as break
water and impeded the progress of the

MAKING AN OMELET.
A Culinary Art That Should Be Acc
quired BY Every Woman WhO
Pretends to Be a Cook.

It is an art every woman" should
know to make an omelet properly. The
eggs should be broken on a dish and
the whites and yoIks stirred, not beat
en-, together and lightly seasoned with
salt and white pepper, with a few bits
of butter if you wish. Let the French
| frying pan Of sheet iron be bright and
polished. Melt a large tablespoonful Of
butter in it for an omelet of five eggs.
Turn the omelet in as soon as the butt
ter melts and flows over the bottom Of
the pan. The fire must be hot and the
| omelet must not be allowed to stick to
the pan for a moment. Use a knife to
prevent this. As soon as the eggs are
creamy, though still soft at the top.
but firm at the bottom, add any cooked
meat, mince of herbs or cooked herbs
intended to give the omelet distinc-
tive flavor, or serve it as it is, natural
as the French would call it, and roll it.

The Chinese women in New York
have in several instances come here
to be married, after corresponding for
years with their husbands.
They take their queer Chinese ba-
bies to Central park for fresh air, and
in summer make occasional visits to
Coney island. Here the little 'chinks'
dabble in the sand like other children
and scream when taken into the
waves. The young one pick up Eng.

The Chinese women here all know
each other. They make frequent calls
upon each other, taking their babies
along, and, while drinking delicious
tea, discuss the care Of children, an6

To make a delicious and pretty salad
cut a thin slice from the stem of q
large. round tomato. Take out the
pulp. Season it with a few drops Of
nnion juice and finely chopped sweet,
green pepper olives and celery. Fill
each tomato with the mixture; put a
teaspoonful OF stiH mayonnaise oneach.
Decorate the m~ayonnaise with two OF
three thin strips OF olives, placed skin
side up. Set each tomato on a crisp

the spices to restore the mill to pri-
mary service, and this latter handful
of rice, i~mpregnated it is with spices,
will be found an excellent addition to
soup. Many good cooks often throw
in with rice, barley or vermicili added
to soup a Glove or two and a couple OF
pepper corns, says the Boston Budget.
Picked nasturtiums are liked by
many people for sauces to be eaten
with roast lamb brother meats. Some
consider them superior to eapers be-
cause Of their spicy flavor. They
should be gathered while green and
soaked all night in salt and water. In
the morning they should be Grained
thoroughly on a napkin and covered
with strong vinegar. Glass jars which
can be securely corNed are best for
them.

FALL FASHIONS.
Pretty Fancien Thnt Are Noticed ln
the Costumes Of the
semaOm.

Pretty liberty satins T among the
new goods for evening wear. They
come in delicate shades and have
raised polka dots. Nothing falls in
prettier folds than liberty satins. Bro
caded silks come in polka dot pat
terms, inside narrow stripes. A pref
ty pattern of wavy lines has a pref
ty crisp effect given by lines which
are woven into the silk. Crystalline
silks they call these, says Harper's
Bazaar.
The hair is worn lower, and only
those women who do not object to
being out of fashion cling to the
umehtal pompadour. The part issthe
thing, on the right side, LETT side, in
the middle, anywhere so long as it
is becoming and is not too pro-
nounced. The STRAIGHTFORWARD girl is
more than ever to be pitied, for soft
h~uffness is an absolute requisite in
the up-to-date couture, and the deli
cious fluffy curls around the nape Of
the neck that are now in vogue are
not to be attained through curling
tongs; or, at least, if attained, the
achievement is a fugitive one, and the
last state of that young woman is
lamentable.
The white cloth and light flannel
waists with a colored dot or stripe
will be in marked favor during the
entire fall season. Those described
some weeks ago have been copied and
very soon new garments of soft WOOL
in regular shirt waist style, will be
procurable at any of the best dry
goods houses. The autumn models fiji

coming and se~rviceable, while, being
simply made, they are easily cleaned
There are new graceful autumn
models in both five and seven-gored
skirts, the backs cut to conform tx
the latest style, of a certain amount
of fullness at the back, in slight
draperies, in box plaits, a number Of
partly stitched plaits, or French shir
rings, very closely massed.
Black velvet ribbon run through
beading makes a pretty finish for {

Rosenheimer watched all this patient

in an excited voice exclaimed: ''The
