CITY and COUNTY
CLEARING FOR ACTION

City and County officers are busy
clearing the decks for action. In the
upper story of the Mcintyre building,
corner of King and Fort streets, which
now may be termed the City and Coun-
ty building, pending the acquisition of
City Hall, there are today busy
scenes of reconstruction, house-clean-
ing and readjustment.
Tonight there will come before the
Mayor and the Board of Supervisors
for approval the matter of the lease
of the entire upper floor of the McIn-
tyre building but even now the four
teen rooms are undergoing desertion
and reoccupancy.
Starting from the Waikiki corner,
maaki, the two rooms which have for
some time been occupied by the Coun-
ty Clerk, Kalauokalani, will be CONT
nued as his quarters and the quarters
of his assistants. Opposite, the room
now bearing the shingle of Judge An
drade will be taken by City and Coun-
ty Engineer Gere, who will also have
new room added by the partitioning
off of the hallway.
The room formerly used as an ante
room to the County Attorneys Office

Mayor will have to pass through the
office of the secretary, so that the Ma
yor will not be overcome with super
fuous visitors.
Incidentally, if the Alona ANA takes
on an English section in the advance
ment of Democratic journalism and
Rhodes becomes English editor, as is
rumored, the secretary's office might
unofficially be referred to as the edi-
torial rooms of the Democratic party.
A little matter which may be
brought before the Board OF Supervi-
sors, should those now discussing it
pluck up courage to ask, is for a spe-
cial janitor for the upstairs region,
the realm of City and County affairs;
for the general concierge is too apt
to ignore the honorable dust that per-
sistently accumulates behind official
desks.
There will still be one room to spare
and as to the disposition of that there
is much uncertainty. 1t might be used
by the Police Magistrate or it might
be equipped as a waiting room or lob
by such as public buildings often
boast.

MAYOR QUITS
JOB FOR HONOLULU

Here's the first chance that the first
Mayor Of the City and County of Ho-
nolulu has had to meet another mayor,
a mayor from the mainland, main
land mayor.
The Honorable w Parker Lyon, who
a few weeks ago was Mayor of Fresno,
Cal, arrived here with his faily in
the P. M. S. S. Siberia this morning
from San Francisco.
He and his talks wanted to come to
Honolulu and Mayor Lyon resigned his
position to make the trip. He was
here five years ago, but Honolulu, he
heard had changed much in that time
and he yearned again to enjoy this
Paradise of the Pacific. Whether he
and his family viii go on to China or
return to the Coast at the end of this
month, he and his wife have not yet
decided.
When Lyon left the Mayors office at
Fresno he appointed a City Council
man to take up his duties; whether the
law allows this or not Lyon is not
quite clear; at any rate he did it and
the City Councilman is still the Mayor.
However, Lyon may go back to Fresno
and run again for Mayor, the election
coming off in april.

City and Mayor Lyon of Fresno, sche-

GOOD ROADS.

Manager Bidgood intimates that the
road to Haleiwa is not in a "deplor-
able" condition which means that it
is in proper shape, in spite of the
rains, for an enjoyable ride to that
most delightful spot in the islands,
Haleiwa. where the epicure may en-
joy himself to his hearts content Bid
good is host par excellence and his
chef is the real thing in cooking what
people want. The service and rooms
at Haleiwa are excellent and the golf
links in splendid shape.

of the relations between Supervisors

Mayor Lyon may attend the meeting

SOME LIGHT
AUTHOR OF MUNICIPAL ACT SAYS
THERE WE'RE NO OFFICERS TO
APPOINT.

w. c. Achi, who drew the municipal
bill and also ran for Mayor answer
ing a joking remark by a Supervisor
yesterday, said:
"If l were Mayor there would have
been no dispute about appointments.
The fact is there were no officers of
the City and County Of Honolulu for
Mayor Fern to appoint
you ought to look in Rouvier's Law
Dictionary if you want to know what
is an officer. Among other definition
there you will find that an Ohio de-
cision held that a road supervisor was
not an officer.
81 drew the municipal bill for the
future and the officers there declared
to be under the Mayors appointment
imply mean those which the Board
of Supervisors might create"

A peculiar custom obtains in the
Twelfth lancers-the playing Of the
vesper hymn, the Spanish chant and
the Russian national hymn every
night Of the year after the 'last post"
has sounded. 1t is said that the play
ing of the Vesper hymn originated in
one of the officers wives presenting
the regiment with new set Of instru-
ments on condition that the hymn
was played every night after the ''last
post" The playing of the Spanish
chant is declared to be penance for
sacking of a convent during the PENN
sular war. No reason is assigned for
the playing Of the Russian national
anthem.-London Tit-Bits.

A Story Of Father Mathew.

Father Mathew was the most Low.
fng and lovable of human beings" and
in the light Of this statement found in
a biography Of the famous Irish priest
by Mrs. Katherine lyman Hinkson
two incidents of his crusade for tenn
perance I'm the north of Ireland should
be read.
At Clones, In Ulster, there were two
Orange flags raised when he visited
1t. Instead of considering 1t as an in
suit, he thought 1t very great com
pliment, never having seen one or
been honored with one before. When
he saw them he called for three cheers
for the Orange flag. Commenting on
this, an Irish writer says:
"a Catholic priest calling for a cor
dial salutation of the Orange banner
and a Catholic assembly heartily re-
spending was something almost incon-
ceivable. It had never occurred before
In Ireland. I'm afraid 1t has never &C.
Cured since"
For the time being there were good
will and friendly feeling from one end
Of Ulster to the other. One recruit
who knelt for Father Mathews bless
ing said
"You wouldn't be blessing me If you
knew what 1 am"
"And what are you, my dear" Fa-
Their Mathew called men, women and
children "my dear"
81 am an Orangeman, your rever-
ence."

wouldn't care If you were lemon
