NOT A LADY"

The arrangements of new English
court and the abrogation of the custom
of kissing those who are presented
will prevent the possibility of any re-
currence of such an amusing incident
as happened at a drawing room held
by Queen Victoria. Two ladies' of the
same name were presented to the
Queen. One of them was the wife of a
peer the head of a family, and the
other the wife of the younger brother
II so happened that II was the younger
woman who was presented first and
the Queen, hearing the name, bent for.
ward to kiss her in the usual ceremo.
NAL observed with a peers wife. The
official who was In attendance on the
Queen saw the mistake and whispered,
Don't kiss her, ma am; don't kiss her;
she is not lady" to the extreme
amusement OF all in the neighborhood.
This is, Of course, zone of those things
which should have been said other.
wise" for the unfortunate official did
not mean exactly what he said, his
term lady" being merely used in its
official sense.

LEGISLATORS WILL
MEET AND DINE

Members of the Legislature and heads
of departments viii meet on Saturday
evening at the Hawaiian Hotel, the oc
casion being a dinner given by Sec
retary Carter for the purpose of bring
ing together all those whose relations
during the coming session must be
close. The idea which prompted Sec
retary Carter to draw together as din
ner companions the forty-five members
of the Legislature and the heads
of departments, some nine others, was
that during the session there Will be
times when personal acquaintance viii
be of assistance to the members them
selves, and will permit the transaction
of business much more satisfactorily
There will be a gathering in the par
Iors of the hotel before the dinner, and
each member Will be introduced TO

FIREBUGS USE KEROSENE
BUT FAIL IN THEIR AIM

There is the gravest reason to fear
that the fire bug has gone to work
again.
Yesterday morning when Mr.. Gregg.
of the wholesale railway supply firm OF
w. c. Gregg & Co., having shops and
a warehouse on Alakea street, between
Queen and Allen, went to open his Of
flee he found the place filed with
smoke, the floor and the office furniture
covered with a black coating of SCOT.
The mating that laid along the middle
of the place was charred at one end
which lay toward "a window opening
into a back yard, while beneath the
window hole had been burned in the
floor and a waste paper basket that had
stood under the window. filed with
worthless papers. when the place was
closed Or Saturday night. had been
completely consumed by fire.
A little investigation showed that the
warehouse adjoining the office had been
first entered and a gallon of kerosene,
kept there for cleaning rust from arti-
cles in stock, was stolen. A little fur
ther search resulted in finding the emp
ty can in the back yard, which yard has
no connection whatever with the prem
ises of Gregg & Co, being reached by
a gate opening of Allen street. In this
yard an old Chinese lives in a hut, with
his wife and two little girls. but these
people had seen nothing of the incen-
diaries. Nevertheless, it was apparent
that the fire bug must have done his

which the committees were made up,
| Gus should act.
There was. however. some opposition,
having for it's object the election of
John GandalL of Kauai. The Island of
Oahu with only seven members of the
! House. against 13 from out of town,
having as well the control of the Senate
organization, was placed at a disadvan-
/ tage,s and 1t was a close struggle.
When consideration of the candidates
for the various places was taken up it
was found that there had been made
no recommendations from the executive
comrhittee of the party. and Secretary
Atkinson was called in. He was not
able to bind the committee as no action
had been taken, and all that he could
do was to ask that there be given time
for meeting of that committee. at
which action as to recommendations
might be made.
Prince Kuhio was called into the mat
ter and advocated this action. He
said that it was the work of the COM
mittee which carried the election, and
he wished to see some recognition of it.
This decided the members and the eau
Gus adjourned to meet again. The call
for the meeting of the executive COM
mittee was issued for o'clock this af-
ternoon, at which time list of candi-
dates for the places will be submitted
LEGISLATURE HAS PLANS.
Thesmembers of the majority party in
the Lower House are devoting their
attention principally to the county bill,
and while they agree that there will
be many more matters which will come
before the session, they do not believe
the time has come for making known
their intentions for general legislation.
Jonah Kumalae has some ideas which
he will press. He said last evening that
he thought it necessary that there be
some restrictions on the presence with
in the fire limits of lumber piles. He
said that if no wooden buildings were
permitted within this district, there
could not in reason be any lumber piles
within the same limits. He will en-
deavor also to have the waterfront
made more attractive by the changing
of the unsightly piles so as to offer
pleasing sight to tourists.
