From the strictly profane point Of
view, Mephisto was the best educated
parrot in this section of New Jersey.
He could swear with fluency in five
languages and also in several dialects.
Every noun, verb, adjective, conjunc-
ton, proposition and article in the vo-
cabulary was either tainted or tine
tured with profanity. Not one of his
many friends expressed any hope for
his future. He was beyond reforma-
ton and redemption.
Sorrenson, who lives in New street.
took Mephisto to the station Thursday
evening. The parrot was drawing
with energy upon his vocabulary and
delighting one part of a big crowd
and shocking others when the New
York train rolled in. Mephisto be-
came panic stricken at once. He
flew from the arm of his owner, cir
cled twice above the locomotive and
then dived down the smoke stack.
The astounded spectators heard a vol
ley of oaths coming out with the
smoke, and then there was silence.
There is a division of opinion as to
what produced 1t.
Those who were shocked by the
language the parrot had used say the
silence was caused by suffocation.
The birds friends assert, however,
that Mephisto simply was racking his
brains to find words to fit the new
situation in which he found himself.

being to close all festivities at mid

is formed of a white slipper filled
with flowers, placecards are slipper

The Supervisors Bill.
Senator Makekau prevented action
being taken on House Bill No. 9s, :. An
Act authorizing the payment of certain
persons employed by the City and Coun-
tv of Honolulu The Judiciary Com
mittee recommended the passage of the
bill, Knudsen and Chillingworth in

ing. When the report was submitted,
Makekau asked continuance until to-
day, SO he would have an opportunity
to prepare a minority report Senator
Knudsen urged that immediate action
be taken.
s'Some people are depending on the
passage of this bill for their daily
bread,'' said Knudsen, s'and I do not
see why we eouldn t go ahead with the
matter now
But Makekau insisted that he did
not have time to draw up a minority
report, and so the Senate voted to let
the consideration of the bill and the
Judiciary Committee report be deferred
until today.

arguing for his motion. He referred
to the School Department with teach
ers salaries sslashed from A to q. =
He was one who wanted to see these
salaries raised TO a proper figure.
Sheldon also viewed with alarm an
extra no-pay session and urged going
ahead with the work. Waiwaiole made
his maiden speech for the session IN
favor of waiting for more financial
light and Kaniho had a great deal to
say. He wanted to defer because even
in the items of the Attorney General s
department there were some surprising
items. For one thing the pay of one
of the clerks showed a cut. Why was
the cut made.
Sheldon spoke of sitting around like
bunch of bows Cohen called him to
order and came to the defense of the
Acknowledgement, who had to sit in
the middle of the bear pit during all
the row. Putting him in delicate
position,' is what Cohen called it.
Out of the mess, after Kaleiopu had
made another speech, Chairman Like
picked out one motion and put it. This
was IHG IHOtfOA " SCb HhASA was

On motion to postpone consideration
until the tenth, Sheldon and Cohen
spared for a few rounds with Correa
as referee. Cohen took the count. He
had announced, after Sheldon asked il
there was anything sure about the re-
port of the Finance Committee, that he
would have his report ready today.
Sheldon informed the House that he
didn t know Cohen was the Finance
Committee, whereupon Cohen said that
he never claimed he was, but was a
busy member of it.
After a vote to rise and report,
which carried, the debate stiIl ragged,
various members asking questions,
rising to points Of order and other
things. For twenty minutes no one
knew whether the committee was In
session or not, and no one seemed to
care.
After an hour wasted in this kind
of thing the committee rose to report.
A great calm settled down upon the
House when the Speaker reappeared
and the routine grind recommended.

Fish Bill on Debate.
Kelawaa presented resolution to
prohibit the use of drag and seine nets
in Hilo bay, a resolution which first ex-
cited the suspicion of the Speaker that
it was another freak. starting off with
reference to the great loss in fish eggs.
The Speaker scrutinized the resolution
before allowing the reading to be con-
Guided.
Then. as this called upon the Judi
eiary Committee to draft bill. there
was debate about this and the pro-
priety of asking help from the Attor-

ticut republican today. commenting on
the fact that the situation as TO the
trustees of the Connecticut AgricuItur-
al college was further complicated
during the days session by Senator
Lattmer's Introduction OF a resolution
naming George S. Palmer for reap
pointment Mr.. Palmer is now vice
president OF the board OF trustees. but
It has been supposed that he would
not be candidate for reappointment.
Supposing that this nomination came
from him. Governor Lilley was PLAN
ming three or four weeks ago to nom
mate Mr.. Palmer by way of heaping
Goals Of fire on his head. but he has
nothing to do with II officially. II Is
known, however that the governor
would consider the reappointment OF
Mr.. Palmer BY the senate as a slap at
him. In view OF Mr.. Palmer's efforts to
defeat him last fall.
That Il. G. Patterson Of Torrington
and Charles A. Capen OF Willimantlo
will be reappointed seems altogether
likely from developments OF the last
few days, but who will succeed Palmer
remains to be seen. A new candidate
came into the field yesterday In the

Especial TO 'Ine Bulletln.)
Hartford, Feb 10.-Sheriff Sibley OF
Windham county appeared before the
joint committee on the judiciary this
afternoon i'm support OF his bill. which
was introduced by Mr.. Keach OF Dam
ielson providing that county commits
sioners may employ prisoners In coun-
ty jails elsewhere than in the jail
buildings. He stated TO the committee
that it has been the practice Of Wind
ham county for some time past to al
low its prisoners TO be employed in
places outside the Jail. but under the
supervision of himself or his deputies
He wanted the legislature to leSalize
what they had been making a practice
Of doing.
Sheriff Brown OF New London county
told the committee that he had no OBJ
lection to the passage of the law. 50
long as Il was made merely permissive,
but if the sheriff was TO be obliged TO
let his prisoners go outside to work he
should object TO II.
President DOnahue OF the state Fed
Grafton OF Labor was heard later on
in the afternoon and he strongly OPP
posed the passage Of any such law. not
alone on behalf of the labor unions.
but also as an official at the New
Haven county jail and well acquainted
with the work of prisoners. He said
that New Haven county had found no
necessity Of doing anything such as
was proposed by this bill and Wind
ham county already apparently did and
he didn't think II a salutary plan to
allow prisoners to spend their time at
any other place than that In which
they We're confined. Certainly from the
labor standpoint he couldn't favor al
lowing prisoners the chance 10 COM
