A NOVELIST'S PIPES,
From Tit-Bits.

rom llt-6lJS.
 A recently published interview with tho famous novelist and dramatist contains the following paragraph, from which 1t would seem that MT. Barrie is more at- tentiye than ever to My Lady Nicotine:"
 T spent exactly 65 minutes with the great dramatist When I entered he was smoking calabash pipe of generous pro- portions. He smoked 1t out in a purpose ful way and laid 1t on the mantlepiece to cool Then he felt in his right coat pocket and produced handsome briar. This he loaded and lit. When it was done he laid 1t on the shelf and took out a second briar from another pocket He smoked it out, andsthen, assuring himself that the calabash was cool again, went back to it. He smoked three and a half pipes within the hour and finished up with a cigarette"

Easing Point Question.

A man prominent in the metal trade but in no wise connected with any corpor- ation says:
 "As usual in every question there are two sides to the argument. have seen a number of articles recently relative to making Birmingham a passing point for steel and iron products. There is con- siderable confusion in the minds of many people in this district as to what the term 'basing point really means, but to accept the term at its full significance, that is to say Pittsburg price less full freight to Birmingham, would mean that the industries manufacturing finished iron and steel products in this territory would lose all of the advantage of their loca- tion; a condition which they could hard ly afford to meet at the present time be- cause the natural market for the plants of this district Is so circumscribed as to reduce the tonnage rolled at these works to such a point as to necessarily mean higher costs than Pittsburg, for large ton mage usually means low cost.
 Our much vaunted statement that here we produce iron cheaper than anywhere else in the world Is misleading, for, while possibly one or two concerns do this, l doubt if the average cost of pig iron in the Birmingham district is much less than the average cost of metal produced in the Pittsburg district; when this fact is taken into consideration and made a part of the total cost of the finished bar or rail, then We have not arrived at the proper time to give away our entire advantage of geographical position. The time will come, I believe, however, when this will be done, and probably will be done for two reasons. First. for costs in the north to increase more rapidly thanI in the south, and, second, for home con sumption to increase more rapidly in percentage in the south than in the north. These two facts when they converge will of their own power cause the United Estates Steel corporation to prepare to meet them by erecting modern mills of the various characters required, and by building the strictly modern mill, cost should be reduced to a point where the price will be greatly reduced to the con sumer.
 
 until more steel plants arc erected in this district you will have very few new steel or iron working industries to locate here because of the fact that only the United States Steel corporation's Ten nessee company is now making steel, and none is for sale on the open market In the shape of steel billets so If the passing point were made on Birmingham it would be only a nominal quotation as there would be none for sale. What the gentle men who are so clamorous for the passing point should do is to endeavor to get the Sloss company, the Woodward com pany or the Republic company to build a steel works, thereby inducing new steel working industries to locate here, ere ating a large home consumption which would increase competition for the busi- ness to such an extent as to reduce prices to them. This state of affairs then would be analogus to the position occupied by the cast iron pipe shops for they get the full benefit of the cheap cost of pro- duction of pig iron induced by competi- ton for their business

COMPENSATED. Who lives a lowly life, deprived Of honor and applause, And still devotes his heart and hand Unto some worthy cause, May die, forsooth, as he has lived, Unheralded, unsung, His very name no more pronounced By any mortal tongue.

Although defeat may be his lot, His portion only rue, At least, he'll have no vain regrets Who to himself Is true.

THE AFTERNOON SESSIONS
THE HOUSE
THIRTY-FIRST DAY.
Afternoon Session.

Representative e. A. Douthitt, chair
man Of the judiciary committee of the
House, was the most prominent figure
on the floor of the House in Commit
tee of the Whole, in yesterday after
Moons session, when the appropriation
bill was under consideration, and
Dodthitts reason for being on his
fee, was a strenuous argument in favor
of permitting the asked-for appropria-
tions for the Territorys judiciary de-
patment TO be passed. There was
much opposition and the cry of eco
nomy from many seemed to want to
cut into the effectiveness of the ma
Chinery of the courts. Douthitt wax
ed as determined as eloquent, making
the hall ring with his protestations
against false economy and declaring
that it was not likely that justices and
judges would endeayOr to hoodwink
the Legislature by asking for more
operating money than would actually
be needed
And Douthitts endeavor was not in
vain.
Notice was received from the COVER
nor that he had signed several bills,
among these being the enabling act, so
that the City and County employees I'M
der the Supervisors and the Mayor may
now get their long delayed money.
Rice entered a bill to authorize the
issuance of bonds for the purpose of
refupding the Territorial debt.
Kinney entered a resolution for
Koolauloa, Oahu, bridges, breakwater
and roads, amounting to $4,000. He
put in another resolution for $3.50 to
repair a teachers cottage at Hauula
Oahu, and other for 500 for two acres
for a burying ground for the poor at
Lanakila, Hauula, Oahu" Who the
poor citizens are, is not specified, and
why, just because they are poor, they
should be buried is not evident; II Is
quite likely that the intent of the
resolution is that couple of acres bC
reserved in which to bury former citi-
zens whose bodies have become corpses
through the intervention Of the phe'
nomenon of death, but the wording
of the resolution is all too horribly
plain, for it is clearly said that the
lot is to be used as a burying grounC
for the poor citizens" It is expected
however, that the Legislature will no
tolerate the burying Of poor citizens
but will let them live, though it ma!
provide for a burying ground for deaC
bodies of persons once poor citizens
; the Solons doubtless conceding tn,
? fact that a corpse is not citizen, sine
, a corpse cannot vote, even thougl
|. names of dead men have been voted a
r some elections.
. Kinney had still another resolution
q that whereas, as nothing has bee
done toward the building of a bridge a
J, Kaluanui, Koolauloa, appropriated 70
in 1906 and 1907, be it resolved that tn
: proper officials be Immediately request
