I THERE Is no reason why a city should not be as
healthy, or even healthier than the country, if
proper attention is paid to cleanliness and purity
of air. No pains should be spared to prevent all
noxious odors from ~polluting the aiE No one has
q right, by their actB or their neglect, to contami-
nate the air we breathe any more than the food
we eat. Many a typhoid or other fever may be
traced to filth on the premises. Attention should
be paid by every householder to this matter, or
the life of those dearest to him may depend upon
il. But if individuals will not attend to the duty,
as suggested in our last, there can certainly be
no excuse offered for neglect ON the part of the
authorities, to whom the duty belongs-we mean
the Board of Health. The subject of deodorizing
all filth is one fast gaining ground in England and
America, and when once thoroughly understood
and practiced, will add greatly to the health of
the public.
y daily bath, or wash-dOwn with sponge and
soft water, is almost a necessity of nature in this
climate. Nothing is more refreshing, or promo
tive of good sleep,-(to secure which should be
the aim of every one who expects to do good
work or succeed in the business of life)-than
just before retiring for the night to cleanse the
person in this way. \ few quarts of water and
and a good soft sponge, when applied daily, will
generally be sufficient.

LAST "WEDNESDAY a statement appeared on the
bulletin-board in front Of II. VI. Whitney's book
store, to the effect that the Gazeue has the largest
circulation Of any newspaper here. As a bust
ness matter, we feel compelled to take notice of
this statement as calculated, and doubtless in
tended, to injure us, and we therefore pronounce
it to be a downright falsehood. Our books will
show, as compared with those of any other En-
glish newspaper in Honolulu, with the exception
Of the Friend that the circulation of the Con-
NERcAL ADVERTISER is by far the largest of any.

Collapse Of tho Sutro Tunnel Loan In

Adolph Sutrs, the indefatlgable and
successful protector Of one Of the most
Important and %stupendous mining en-
terprlses ever undertaken on the Pa
clic Coast, appears to have suffered
some disappointment IN negotiating
his loan In the English capital. Some
time ago the announcement was cabled
TO the Associated Press that tho Nc
Calmont Brothers s. Company,l5 Phil
pot Lane, London, had undertaken to
negotiate that largo loan, TO which
they soon invited the attention OF cap
i~talists, to whom they pointed out Its

notable failure, when the character CT
the security aud guarantees that went

however, moro than likely that Its
failure was the result Of fear on the
part Of the Londoners that Congress
would take measures to repeal, or 90
