The above table shows the result OF
the conference between the House and
Senate on the county bill and shows
mat while the Senate carried the most
important proposition in the list tha .
of schools, the House won the most
points, in consideration of the hacN bill
agreement. The school question was
settled when Keliinoi agreed to with
draw his House proposition, wuIcn lie
did in a very manly speech, for the
sake of saving the county bill.
The main trouble in the House will
be over proposition number one. Rep
resentative Greenwell says that he will
fight to the last against Kailua as Il
county seat, and it is believed that
both Kaniho and Fernandez are OppOs-
ed to the division agreed upon. Kailua
is very inconVenient, says Greenwell,
10 most of the people in the proposed
county.
Generally speaking, aside from this
proposition the utmost good feeling
appeared to prevail this morning, an
the chances are that the pill VIII go
through quickly. the most disap-
pointed man was Keliinoi, but he had
agreed to take his medicine.
The Senators won the most on the
supervisor question. There are to be
five supervisors in a county, except
Oahu, which is TO have seven. two
from each district and three at large.

respondents confess that-in 9th
ers-it is an eccentric practice not
calculated to meditation and
prayer. Beyond this no one
dreamed of going until this femi-
nine popularity served actually
to invalidate a woman's will, says
the New York Tribune. The late
Isabella Andrews, of Brooklyn, it
seems, was one of the women who
delight to treat the third page Of
a sheet of writing paper as if it
were the second, and fourth as if
it were the third, and the second
as if it we're the fourth. She made
her will that way, too. Starting
on the first page, she jumped the
PROVISIONS of the will over to the
third page, which she marked two,
and wound up by subscribing and
attesting the document on the
second page, which she marked
three. She used a printed fOrmu-
la. which was intended to be at
tested on the reverse side of the
first what in ordinary cor
resPondence paper one would call
the fourth page. The will was re-
jected and the supreme court, to
which recourse was had, upheld
the rejection, on the ground that
will to be legal must be signed at
the end, not in the middle, as the
Andrews will was.

large part of her attention to the

head on the diverse side a small
hole has been drilled through, as
if the coin had been used as a
charm originally. Miss Patton
wishes to find either the original
owner of the coin or his heirs.
