Economy

The manufacturers of Royal
Baking Powder have always declined
to produce cheap baking powder
at the sacrifice of quality.
The Royal is made from the
most highly refined and wholesome
ingredients, and is the embodiment
of all the excellence possible to be
attained in the highest class baking
powder.
Royal Baking Powder costs only

MAKING LAWS IN HAWAII.
Recent Action Upon Bills Before the
Legislature.

Le&1Alatufes
Advices from Honolulu, under date of
March 9, follow:
The sessions of the legislature for the
past week have been devoted principally
to reading various bills, and the adoption
of amendments to number of them.
The first concurrent resolution of the legis-
lature was passed. 1t provided for COM
mittee to study taxation
An attempt was made in the house to
pass a bill limiting public work to eight
hours and permitting only American citi-
zens to hold such positions. After some
debate the bill was amended, in order to
except expert labor, as it might be neces-
sary from time to- time to bring people
here to superintend important works.
Speaker Akina ruled that English was
the official language In the legislature, and
1t was not necessary to interpret speeches
spoken in English into Hawaiian, even
though the majority Of those present
might not know what was said.
Among the most interesting bills present
ed were those requiring wires to be placed
underground in the business part of the
city, and providing for the adoption OF an
official flag for the territory, and the edu-
cation of ten INDECENT youths In America
at public expense.
Notice was given of bill which is to be
introduced providing for pension for ex-
Queen LilIuokalani. Notice was also given
OF a bill which will repeal all of the pres
ent severe gambling laws Of the territory.

DRIVEN OUT BY FLAME.
Two Sleeping Cars Burned at PaIatka,
Fla.


Two Pullman sleeping cars, the Tabita
and the Elmer, of train No. 30 of the Plant
system. Tampa to Jacksonville, were COM
pletely burned at an early hour yesterday
morning at Buffalo Bluff, seven miles from
Palatka, Fla. All that remains of them Is
mass of twisted iron, the wheels and
trucks The sIeepers were filled with tour
ists all of whom were asleep at the time.
SO quickly did the flames spread that there
was practically no time for saving clothes
or valuables.
Train No. 30, first section, left Tampa at
o'clock Saturday night, and was due to
arrive in Jacksonville at 7:3O o'clock this
morning. Owing to there being a heavy
train, 1t was divided and sent out in two
sections.
When nearing Buffalo Bluff the two cars
were discovered to be burning. At the time
of the discovery of the flames they had
gained such headway that 1t was impossi-
BILE to extinguish them, and the train was
run to Buffalo Bluff, where the burning
cars were showed upon siding and flag
man was sent back to flag the second sec
tion.
The passengers in the burning cars were
as comfortable as possible. There were sew
enteen passengers in the two Sleepers, sew
eral of them being ladies. In the hurry
of awakening and being placed in other
cars, several lost their clothing and per-
sonal effects Blankets were loaned those
SO unfortunate and they remained wrapped
in these until Jacksonville was reached
The railroad officials had their measures
taken for clothing dresses, shoes, etc, and
they were supplied within half an hour of
the time of the arrival of the train in jack
sonyile. The passengers were then sent
to hotels and made comfortable.
