SALOON LICENSE.

Achi moved to make the retail liz
uor license $500 a year for Hilo, Wal
luku and Honolulu. and $3.50 for other
towns.
Bishop opposed the amendment.
McCandless did likewise, showing
that the bill made reduction from
$1,000 to $500 for saloon licenses.
Achi argued that nobody could run
a saloon in Koolaupoko and pay so a
week in license. The same thing ap-
piled to kona, Lahaina and Hama, and
while liquor was bound to be sold at
those places the treasury would re-
ceive no revenue thererrom.

that there was special provision for

He argued that the enterprise would
be rather easy thing to start and
anybody going into it would know
what he was doing. He would be in ia

Informed was $l.25 gallon.
Achi asked if tue previous speaker
did not know. that the distiller must,
under the Federal law, own real es
tate.
''What does that amount to?' Paris
rejoined An acre or so of land for the
building site would comply with the
law
Woods said the Territory would get
revenue from taxes on the land used in
cultivating the ii root for the distil-
/, Iery.
Paris replied that it was big estates
like the Bishop estate which would be
principally benefited.
Dickey said the license in the orig
inal bill was $1vu0, which the House
changed to So. The law now allowed
distilling for a license fee Of $3.50. He
moved to tax the product 81 gallon.
81 would amend to % cents a gal.
lon, - Paris moved.
Dowsett said distillery could not
be started without an expenditure of
several thousand dollars. 1t would be
all right to look after revenue after the
thing was started. Why not amend the
bill by making the period five instead
of fifteen years and leave the fee at
50?
Paris replied that for export pur-
poses five years might be necessary,
but people here who drank would not
wait until the liquor got ripe.
Recess from L to 1:30 was taken.

RESTAURANTS DEBARRED.

Dickey moved to strike out the res
taurants and to require the hotels to
have ten rooms or more.
The first part of the amendment
carried and the second part was chang
ed to five rooms
Bishop then moved a new amendment
providing specifically for licenses to
restaurant keepers. with restriction to
the furnishing of liquor only with
meals, 1T a fee of $3.50.
Dowsett objected that they might as
well reduce the saloon license to $3.50,
as the PROPOSAL merely turned restaur-
ants into barrooms.
Bishop explained that the proposal
was intended for the relief Of the
travelling public, as people complained
they could not get a glass of beer with
their meals at restaurants.
Paris said all restaurant keeper
needed was one of the 800 licenses
to sell by the bottle
Achi moved to strike out the limitn-
tion of licenses for the different is
lands which the amendment contained,
and Dickey objected to the hard labor
penalty making violation of the sub
division an infamous offensc.

THE SENATE.

A veto message from the Governor
reached the Senate Immediately after
Chaplain H. H. farker's prayer this
morning. 1t was not the County Act,
but of the act to protect owners of
bottles, boxes, ETC., and it reads as fol-
lows:
To the Legislature of the Territory of
Hawaii:
Herewith, I return Senate Bill No.
80, entitled GAN Act to protect the
owners of bottles, boxes, siphons, tins
and kegs used in the sale of soda wat
ers, mineral or aerated waters, porter,
ale, beer, cider, ginger ale, milk, cream,
small beer, lager beer, Weiss beer,
white beer, or other beverages or med
icines, medical preparations, perfum-
am unable to approve.
The evloent intent of this bill is to
prevent the sale of beverages, ETC., in
bottles or containers marked with some
standard name or brand by persons
other than the owner of such brand.
The bill, however, goes too far In its
prohibition of the use of such bottles
or containers. Any person may be ar
rested for innocently using a bottle
such as is described, by refilling it
with water or cold coffee for use on
days outing. Possession of such bot
tie would subject the person to fine
of fifty cents. whether it was used with
intent to harm anyone or otherwise.
Further, possession w persons other
than the manufacturer and owner of
such mark or brand, who are engaged
in a similar line of business, might be
!,
tent of wrong doing, and yet possession
of such container is made prima facle
proof of unlawful using
Again, in many cases, the purchaser
of articles in breakable containers Is
charged with and pays for the con
tainers; yet under this bill it would
appear that title to such contalner can
only pass by written consent. Thus
the bill interferes too much with a
man s right to do what he pleases with
his own, so long as he does not injure
another.
If the person does not use the con-
tainer in any way so as to injure the
trade or business in which this con
tainer originated, little or no harm is
done, and there appears to be no rea-
son why every possible use of such
container should be prohibited.
Furthermore, Section 4 is unconstitu-
tional in that the affidavit on which a
search warrant may issue may be sole
ly on information and belief, while an
oath to positive facts is necessary.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

McCandless, on resumption of the
debate on the liquor bill, supported the
So license fee. but objected to per
gallon tax. One of his pleas was the
new source of employment a distilIing
industry would afford.
Paris accented an amendment of 10
cents a gallon tax, which was carried.
Dowsett accepted an amendment to
make the period of license ten years,
which was carried, but reconsidered on
motion of McCandIess-wh did not
know the motion had been put-and
then it was lost. Fifteen years car
ried.
Achi had an amendment carried that
the 10 cents a gallon fee be paid
monthly.

The Indifferent Bridegroom.

The absence of all conventionalitics
and restrictions in Labrador is also
very refreshing. A %peripatetic minis
ter was called on at 4 place known as
Spotted Islands to marry a couple who
were awaiting a chance for the cere.
mony. The bridegroom was IN elderly
Imam. who was q kind of a king in the
place. When the minister arrived at
the island he found all the islanders
assembled in the little schoolroom
awaiting him. 1t was not till lie ac-
tually entered the building that he dis
covered the bride was the deceased
wife's sister. This being a forbidden
relationship, he refused t. proceed.

Arizona Forever!

The inherent brains and resources OF
Arizona are. forcing her to the front
In every capacity she is asserting her
superiority and knocking the persim'
mon. Last Friday Clay McGonagil, at
the steertying tournament at Ell Paso
roped and tied his steer in - seconds
fat. Our Arizona cowboys, like all
other Arizona institutions, are strictly
in the lead. They may not have that
quality OF stove polish on them that
distinguishes Eastern society, but they
simply have the stuff in them to
get there"
You cannot shut Arizona on. She
has the copper, she has the gold, the
silver, the lead, the stock, the captiyat
ing climate and the brains, the Vigor
and originality, the self-reliance, and
she isrirrepressible. All eyes are upon
her, a million hopes are staked upon
her resources, her sunshine and her
wild, free magnifcerce, and they will!
all be realized. The rich mar comes
here to grow richer, the plain man is
here to better his circumstances, the
invalid comes here for health and
strength, the disconsolate come to
Arizona for the comfort and cheer our
salutrious climate and h~ospitable So
ciety affords.-Tombstone Epitaph.

Pretty Table Decoration.

It was invented on the spur OF the
moment for a home wedding; it proved
an immense success; and was later re.
peated to hang over the table for q
very stunning luncheon.
It was nothing more or less than o
small canopy Of flowers, which was as
exquisite as q thing could we'll be; and
the way it was made wasn't one of
those delightfully."- impossible methods
that 1t takes a trained decorator and
a couple of assistants to work out.
A japanese paper umbrella was the
base Of it all, with the handle mys'
~teriously seeming to go the wrong way
and coming out IN top Of the umbrella.
AS a matter of fact, the umbrella had
simply been cleverly turned inside out.
This was for the wedding. to be hung
from a high ceiling for the luncheon:
the handle was cut off quite close to
the "catch," and the umbrella suspend
ed to the chandelier by the little knob
on top,
All. owe the inside Of the umbrella
were caught fowers-white roses, with
plenty of green leaves and vines. They
were held in place by deftly tackled
stitches, set in over stems, where the
leaves would hide them.
And the umbrella was covered with
them on top. too. the handle being
wreathed with vines. until the whole
thing looked like a great exquisite
flower.
For the luncheon only the inside
was covered-and that with delicate
pink flowers; and still another time one
was covered all in green, with a row
OF pink roses just at the edge.
1t is one of the prettiest bits of
home decoration imaginable, yet the
lacking is easy enough for the veriest
amateur to do, and artificial flowers
might be used, if real ones were hard
to get. Even cleverly made paper
flowers might be substituted.

Helght OF Pygtniea,

Among the most interesting ethno-
logic exhibitions at the st. Louis
Worlds Fair was a group OF pysmies
from the Wissmann Falls region OF
the Congo Free State. Although they
do not look as small as the magma
tons of many readers Of books OF
African travel have perhaps pictured
them. yet they plainly belong to a
aiminutive ace Of mankind. A writer
in Science, comparing the various
measurements OF these pygmies, and
others allied to them. arrives at the
conclusion that the average height OF
these small men is a little more than
four feet eight inches, or about one
foot less than that Of the normal man.

A Handy Button Box.

The incest arrangement for holding
buttons that I have ever seen is made
in this way. Procure some of the
small pasteboard boxes used by drug
gists, those which slide in and out Of
a frame like a drawer. Six of them
make a box Of convenient size. being
placed together in two rows Of three
boxes each, the rows running up and
down, and the ends Of the boxes so
placed that they are at the front aud
back OF the finished box. To fasten
the boxes together, use q wide, ribbon
which is tied entirely around them
from side to side. thus holding them
firmly in place, being finished at the
top with a large bow. A button can
be sewed to the front of each box to
show the kind contained in it, and two
boxes should be reserved for hooks
and eyes and safety pins. The but
tons which are sewed on the box also
serve as handles BY which to pull out
the drawers more easily. When boxes
Of uniform size and color are selected,
a very neat appearing article will be
the result. In a large family where a
great many buttons are used: nine
boxes will make a button box Of more
convenient. size, though three rows Of
three boxes each docs not make one
of; as attractive form. as the other
