Americans met last night, appointed
committees and arranged program
for the glorious event. The same
old Americans were appointed to
manage the affair, who have served
for years and years in the same cap

Territory has evidently not been en-
larged, aud the only names missed
from the list Of members of the old
committee are those of absentees.
Geo. W. Smith was appointed
chairman and he was loudly ap-
plaudsd when he stated that the old

visiting the hospitable port of Ho-
nolulu. Besides the officers from
the Protet, there were present at the
Governors table Messrs. Lansing

OF RowelD, and cousin Standbye
Dole. The consuls were also permit
ted to come in. The rooms were
becomingly decorated in Chinese
colors as compliment to the chef

the guests we're charmed with the
beautiful music and congratulated
themselves upon being unable to
understand the language of the

fact that he contributed heavily to

got an Irish promotion to the tune
of $1,000 year.

May we call the attention of the
Superintendent of Public Works to
section 342, compiled laws (Ballou),
page 147, in regard to the use of
streets aud sidewalks by people
erecting buildings. We do not see
any reason why one-half Of the side
walk on Merchant street outside the
Thurston building, supposed to be
under erection, should not be open.
ed to the public. The law is very
explicit and it says that the streets
can only be blocked during reason
able time by the builders. The ont
look is that it will take a whole ye,r
before this building is finished, and
we do not think that Mr.. McCanG-
less is justified in allowing the OBJ
struction Of the sidewalk to con-
tinue for such period. The same
conditions exist on King street
where the Hall building is being
erected. The builders have of
course the right TO use the street
for q reasonable period, say two
months, but they have no right to
deprive the taxpayers of the use of
a whole sidewalk. Let US see Mr..
McCsndless move now.

During one of the earliest visits of the
royal family to Balmoral Prince Albert,
dressed in a simple manner, was cross
ing one of the Scottish lakes in a
steamer and was curious to note every
thing relating to the management of
the vessel and, among many other
things, the cooking. Approaching the
galley, where brawny highlander
was attending to the culinary matters
he was attracted by the savory odors
Of pot of ''hodgepodge," which the
highlander was preparing.
"What is that?' asked the prince,
who was not known to the cook.
"Hodgepodge, SIR" was the reply.
"How is it made?' was the next
question.
"Why, there's mutton intilt and tur-
nips intil't and carrots intiPt and"-
"Yes, yes" said the prince; "but what
Is intirt?"
The man looked at him, and, seeing
that the prince was serious, he replied
There's mutton intiPt and turnips
intiPt and
eyes, certainly, 1 know" urged the
inquirer, "but what is intipt-intil't?''
man." yelled the highlander, bran
dishing his big adle, lam no tellin We
what's intiPt? There's mutton intiPt
and''-
Here the interview was brought to a
close by one of the princes suit, who
fortunately was passing, explaining to
his royal highness that "intirt" simply
meant into it, and nothing more.-Ex-
change.
