A PIGEONS FIRST EGG.

John Burroughs told a Makawao
boy that a pigeon always laid her first
egg on the very day she was six
months old, on her birthday in fact,
and also that a male pigeon stands
higher and has larger eyes than a
female. This information may prove
interesting to other youngsters.-Maui

NEEDLESSLY INJURING
HONOLULU.

Injury done this city In the es-
TEEN of the navy by studied exag-
geration of an alleged "booze-fest'
INDUCED in by the sailors of the
cruiser fleet will not appear In the
official records OF the navy.
The result will be found In the
future inability to explain why men
are not paid OFF in this port.
Admiral Sperry. for instance. did
not offer an official objection to the
representative from Honolulu who
accosted him in San Francisco and
asked what was to be done with his
"ruflians'' when they reached Homo
lulu. Admiral Sperry's fleet and his
men came here and everyone had a
glorious time, but nevertheless that
foolish. needless remark concerning
the rufiians cost Honolulu quite a
little.
This year while the cruiser fleet
was in port two of the papers of the
city took II upon themselves to flare
before the public to the best of their
ability the alleged fact that the sail
ors of the fleet, on the first Sunday
they were given liberty after pay
day, were engaged In turning the
city into free-for-all beer and whis-
ky picnic.
1t was an officer of the cruiser
fleet who called attention to the
needless Misrepresentation of the
supposed state of liquor-inspired
boisterousness on the part of the
sailors.
It was an officer of the navy who
stated that not more than seven men
were arrested for drunkenness on
that alleged exciting Sunday.
1t was an officer of the navy who
pointed out to Honolulu business
man that copies of those papers sent
to the Middle West would entirely
misrepresent conditions In Honolu-
lu to the families Of the boys with
this feet and families with boys who
contemplated entering the navy.
Was this comment in the Official
communications?

WALL, NICHOLS STORES

Important alterations are being
made in regards to Wall, Nichols
stores on King and Fort streets. 1t is
planned to shift the sporting goods de-
partment from the present location on
King street TO the Fort street prem
Uses
The King street store will be devoted
to stationery and fancy goods; music
room will be fixed up and, according to
Mr.. Corbett, who will manage the
store, Sonny Cunha will be in charge
Of the musical instruments.
A. X. Vierra, who has been In
charge of the King street branch of
the business, will move down to Fort
steret, and all the sporting goods will
be kept there in future.
The King street store has always
been the rallying point for the sports
men at the lunch hour, and many a
weighty matter has been settled there.
In future the usual meetings will be
held at the Fort street establishment.

The PEOPLE...THEIR BUSINESS

Conferences are good things, but
when they presumably affect poll.
cy, or policies, OF the Territory II
does not seem quite clear why they
should be surrounded with veil OF
impenetrable secrecy. 1t may APP
pear presumptious to suggest that
the majority of the people in the
Territory OF Hawaii are actually in
terested in some of the ideas and
suggestions that will be made to the
National government at Washington,
II these suggestions are to be taken
to Washington in November there is
even more reason why preliminary
conferences should have full meas
ure of publicity so as to give public
opinion modest opportunity of ex-
pressing itself before 1t Is too late.
Events of the past have shown the
wisdom of giving the people an ink
ling now and then of the procedure
that is being adopted in their name,
by their authority and in their be-
half. Naturally, they have a pass
ing interest In that which they are
supposed to sanction and indorse be-
fore 1t even receives consideration at
Washington.

FOR Pure MILK.

paign for pure milk in the Honolulu

There is Just as much cause for
setting up the cry Save the Babies

enjoyed the experience of tag

tributed by the Palama Settlement

on that Sunday we doubt II FIVE hum
dred at the very outside participated
in the beer picnics. Yet from the i'm.
preston gained from the papers
featuring the wetness Of the Sunday,
It would appear that pretty near
the whole outfit was taking part in
a joyous endeavor to drink up every
thing in town and throw the bottles
along Kalakaua avenue.
II Honolulu has liquor dealers that
violate the law, they should and will
be punished.
IL the brewery violates the law, 1t
should be and will be punished, but
to do this 1t Is not necessary to mis-
represent the enlisted men r. the
navy, and by so doing put Honolulu
before the world as worse than an
open town.
Unfortunately the favorite pass
time of some, the particular business
of others and the constitutional hab-
II of few is to represent the city
of Honolulu In as evil colors as they
can invent.
We sympathize with some of these
people because they think they are
right. But we believe that they have
no more right to besmirch the name
OF the city of Honolulu and put 1t on
the list Of communities with evil
regulations, than the keeper of IA
dive has right to dope whisky
and roll a dr. INK
II was and Is and ever will be
unnecessary among right thinking
people, to misrepresent the efferyes1
cence OF the enlisted man Of the
army or navy in order to reach the
law breakers Of our own town.
The fact that this has been done
by citizens Of Honolulu merely shows
what the Blu eti n has claimed
that needless and foolish injury is
done.
