The First Local Mint.

One OF the institutions here
which has the special attention Of
tourists as well as the local people
is the Mint, which is established on
Nuuanu street, opposite Queen
Emma Hall. 1t is interesting to
enter the large main working room,
where general manager McDonough
and his corps Of assistants are at
work. The cool and large lanai is a
proper resting place and the vaults,
where the "bars" to be minted and
beer are kept present a very tasty
spectacle. The Mint is open from
$50 n. m. to 11:30 p. m, and during
those hours the work never ceases.
Visitors after looking over the place
will find first class refresh ments and
the purest Of liquors.

January "a for mandamus against
the Archbishop OF Canterbury
and the Vicar General, Sir James

hear the objections.
The Lord Chief Justice held that
the DIRECTORS had no right to inter-
pose, pointing out that no such in
reference in the crown prerogative
to dominate Bishops had been to'er-
ated since the reign of Henry VIII.
The court suggested, however, that
it might be advisable to modify the

WELSHMEN ARE GLAD

Badge of Wales Now Appears on
the Royal Banner of Eng

There will be rejoicing in Wales, and
among loyal Welshmen the world over,
now that the Red Dragon of Cadwal-
lader is TO find his due place in the
heraldic achievement of the prince OF
Wales by order of the king in cOuI-
ell that there be added to the achieve
ment of the prince of Wales the badge
of the Red Dragon" This ancient
badge is to be borne-as a badge, of
course, and not quartered in the shield
of the prince-on the sinister side (the
spectators right, that isl of the royal
crest as heir apparent, while the an
cient badge of the ostrich feathers is
On the other side, the crest and the
two badges appearing thus in line over
the shield. The badge of Wales, as
defined in the kings order, is: "On
a mOuntvert a dragon passant gules,
ditferenced as is the royal crest with
a label of three points argent" The
duke of Norfolk, the earl marshal OF
England, is charged to see that the
necessary directions be given. The
accompanying picture is a careful
drawing of the Red Dragon Of Cadwal-
lader of Wales, made from a painting

presumably written in the days of Ed
ward VI.
A reproduction is also given of the
banner of King Henry VII, taken from
the Vincent MS, No. 1872. in the Col
lege of Arms, from which it will be
seen that that king quartered the red
dragon in a banner with his other
badges. Henry also used the dragon
as a supporter, and ii can be seen with

Windsor supporting a pOrtculhs en-
signed with a rose. From his time the
Tudor monarch used the dragon as
one of the supporters of the royal
arms. Henry VII. descended from
Owen Tudor, thus proclaimed his
Welsh ancestry, but the dragon
dropped out when the Stuart dynasty
succeeded, and has not reappeared IN
Ill now, at last, the king, with his
usual gracious sympathy with national
aspirations, has restored il TO the
achievement OF arms of the heir ap-
parent, who takes his title from the
principality. In 1898 the complaint
was that Wales was not represented
on the coinage, and as Wales claims TO
possess a shield of arms as well as

while another suggestion was that the
red dragon should be made a charge
and quartered on the banner.
From the quartered banner Of King
Henry VII. il viii be seen that the
red dragon was actually so quartered,
but il was quartered with other badges
of the king, and not with the royal
arms. It is as a badge, and correct

Quick as its leap was it was not
quick enough for the sagacious Blan-

B,anco met the animal with his great
horn-like claws, striking it squarely
III the face.
Surprised, but not shaken in cour-
age, the cat rolled over and over, and
after recovering itself gave a faint
csy and leaped again. This time
Blanco struck it viciously with one
claw and one wing, knocking it spin
ming, at the same time shrieking out
in his high voice: "Blanco. Blanco!
Scat! seat! Aw, poor pussy poor
pussy"
Again the cat came to time, and
again did the bird meet it squarely
in the face with its claws. and then,
before il could recover itself to spring
again, BlancO jumped on its back,
picking its body with a vengeance
that made the fur fly. For over five
minutes both bird and animal waged
batIle, until, weakened by loss of
blood and the terrific drubbing ad-
ministered to it by the bird, the cat
crawled out in the alley, where it
dropped dead.

could have been sent out if occasion
required it. Mr.. Watts is, of course,
best known as a naval designer. He
was trained in the service, passing
through the college of naval architec-
ture with high honOrs, and became a
constructor at the admiralty, under
Sir Nathaniel Barnaby. He left the
service in 1855, and became naval arch
itect to the distinguished firm of Sir
W. Armstrong, Whitw6TtI & Co., when
Mr.. White. as he then was, vacated that
post. During his stay at ElsWick, he
has built whole fleets of ships for more
than one navy. In the war between
Japan and China his ships fought on
both sides in the fight, and those best
able to judge have declared that they
fulfilled all the conditions for which
they were designed in a very high de-
gree. Amongst other nations, Chilli

There seems to be no doubt of its pas
sage by both houses of the present
congress. Mr. Merriam's work as
head of the census bureau has famil-
iarized him with the commE rcial and
industrial conditions Of the country,
and by reason of this he is peculiarly
fit for the discharge Of the duties of the
proposed department. Mr.. Merriam
is alert in his business methods, and by
his strict integrity he has a personal
following which makes him a strong
factor in his party. The president,
