the Lahui Hatoaii Of last week. II may be observed
however, that the writer is mistaken in supposing
that the Board Of Health has anything to do with

To the ElitoT Of the Pacific Commercial AdUeTtiseT3
SIR: The reading and thinking portion Of our
community will probably welcome the suggestion Of.
your contemporary for founding a Public Library.
Permit me to ecommen q somewhat wider scheme.
Besides the library so urgently needed the town re-
quires a general hall or place of meeting, such as is
afforded in many large towns by the Exchange. A
visitor here soon finds himself in the depths Of bore
dom. There is nothing for him to do but to loaf
about, and bother his friends in their stores and
offices. And even a resident, if he has half an
hour to spare has nowhere to spend it to advantage.
I believe then that what the town wants il . large
convenient room to serve IS a general place Of re-
union aud conversation. Adjacent to this a good
library aud reading room. When funds allow, I
would add a Gymnasium and, the building being on
the quay, q bathing house. F. D.. Fl.

OVER 4 CRNTuRY.-There is an old native now
living in Honolulu, named Paele. who from all ac-
counts must be about 10 years old. He remembers
the war between Kahekili, King Of Maui aud Ka-
laniopuu, King of Hawaii, being at that time a
stout lad ten or fifteen years of age. That war &C.
cure between the years 1916 and 1878. The old
man is welI-preseryed, considering his age, and has
a lively recollection of men and events in the history
of his country. 1t is needless to remark that the
Hawaiians of the present generation are not given
to longevity.
MISUNDERSTANDING of these pests, the N. y.
Times says that the time they enter n house is from
an hour before to an hour after sunset, and advises
closing the windows during this portion Of the day.
He says the mosquito does not rove about in focks
after nightfall. This may be all right as regards
. nippers'' in New York, but those of Hawaii mel
are by no means so regular in their habits. They
swarm into our houses attracted or guided by a
light, ut any and all times Of night. Eternal yigi-
lance (the price of liberty is the only protection
against their attacks during waking hours, and
sleep is only secured under a net.
"A PoRT OF REFUGE.-Last Saturday, the arrival
Of the clipper ship Marianne .Nottebohm in distress,
leaking badly, was another instance of the avail
ability of Honolulu rs a port of refuge for the COM
merce of the Pacific. This ship, after completing
her lading at the guano island (Enderbury's) was
on her way TO Europe around Cape Horn, when in
latitude 43o south she encountered the gale which
caused her to spring aleak. Finding that the ship
was leaking seriously, Capt. Whitney put away for
Honolulu in preference TO any other port! The work
of discharging the lading of guano (170O tons) was
commenced yesterday morning, by steam, at the
steamship wharf. A large shed, 100 feet long by 40
in width, has been erected for the reception of the
cargo. Meantime proposals have been invited for the
sum of So, 900 on bottomry, to pay for the neces-
sary repairs to enable the ship to proceed on the
voyage.

Revival at Wallingford.

Perhaps the greatest revival of religion
that this town has ever known is now 10 pro-
gress in connection with the Baptist
church in this village. SO great is its in
fuence as to include christians of other
evangelical denominations, who have large
ly assisted and enjoyed the work. About
sixty persons, mostly from among the
young, profess to have been converted,
where but few instances of personal re-
ligious concern from those in middle life
have been publicly manifested. The work
has been principally carried on under the
efforts of Miss F. E. Townsley, who has
been laboring among some of the churches
of Vermont as an evangelist. On Tuesday
evening she closed her labors in our village
and the occasion was one of unusual in
terest to the very large number of friends
which she has gathered about her in her
stay here of little more than two weeks.
Miss Townsley is highly educated
christian lady and brings to her work the
most devoted and refined ways for bringing
souls to Christ.
The above evening, after the usual
preaching, was given up to farewell SER
vice and the presentation of thank offer
ing, in which was represented not only the
christian affection and heartfelt gratitude
of the Baptist and Congregational societies
for her work of love but also the grateful
feeling of large numbers of converts, and
also persons not connected with either re-
liglous society. The pastor of the Baptist
church, which had invited Miss Townships
labors, In few words of reference to her
work, here pre- presented her, In the name
of the donors, who largely represented our
community, with an envelope containing
1926, as the free will Offering of their
grateful hearts.

RUTLAND GLOBE SATURDAY MORNING.

The Tuesdays and Wednesdays session
of the farmers state convention at Win
sted, Conn, was taken up with the general
subject of roads, and resembled meeting
of road commissioners more than gather
ing of agriculturlsts. As one way to re-
duce the heavy expenses fer road repairs
IN the state, 1t was urged that fewer fences
should be built and more hedges grown.
The annual meeting of the church ex-
tension and missionary society of the M.
E. church, was held at New York, Mon
day night. The secretary's report showed
that during the past year there had been
four thousand conversions. The treaeur-
er's report showed the receipts to be about
forty thousand dollars, and disbursements
not quite that amount. Addresses on mis-
sionary work was delivered by Bishop
james and DR.. Dashiel.

DOES TUITION EXONERATE BABCOCK I?

No one would rejoice more heartily than
we should at the complete exoneration of
General Babcock from all connection or
completely with the whisky ring, both on
his account, for the sake of the president
and for the good name of Vermont which
has already been furnished enough by the
derelictions of her sons. Under ordinary
circumstances. all questions relative to his
guilt or innocence should be left unconsid-
cred until after his trial by jury of his
country, but, in his case, the official posi-
ton he holds, the near personal relations
he sustains to the president of the United
States, and his course since evidence tend
ing to show his completely with the whisky
ring has been made public, have awakened
a wide spread interest in, and provoked
general discussion of, his case, land every act
of his has led to, If they have not been in
tended to invite, renewed public discussion.
If his conduct was wise, although it came
late in the day, in asking for the discharge
of the court of inquiry, it has been more
than matched in folly by the act of him
self, or friends, in making public the letter
of Supervisor Alexander p. Tuition, and
telegraphing it broadcast throughout the
country as an regeneration" for it can but
result in again calling attention to the
original charges and the evidence on which
they are based.
As briefly as may be, we propose to ex-
anime this statement of Supervisor Tuition,
and leave our readers to judge how much
or how little of exoneration is contained
thereon. The burden of the statement is
that he claims to be entitled to the credit
and responsibility of influencing the presi-
dent to revoke the order of the secretary
Of the treasury transferring supervisors.
Although we do not see that he accom-
plishes this, any further than to make it
evident that he exerted all the influence he
had to that end-and Babcock and an hun
dred Others might have labored in the same
direction-yet we are willing, for the nonce,
to concede that the revoking of the order
was all Tutton's work, and that Babcock
had nothing to do with 1t. But what does
1t amount to? Here dates are important
and we give them as stated by Tuition aud,
undoubtedly, in accordance with the facts.

trap. He has Emusic in his soul" with
which he entertained Mr.. Reeds family
from time to time and which was the
cause Of his coming to grief and being "forc-
ed from home and all Its pleasures" His
compass and pitch of voice nearly equals
that of canary bird and he entertaips
his hearers as well. He knows variety
of music, and to persons whose tune is
largely developed, he seems to render

He is web footed and plays the biped while
he washes his face with his ampbibious fore
feet. In other respects he seems only an
ordinary house mouse. Now, 'wbence
his name and lineage long,"i is the question.
Although web-footed,i it seems hardly prop
er to refer his origin, like that of the "new
cereal. to the crop of wild goose. 1t
seems less absurd, since he is himself no
mean musician, to suppose that his ances-
tors were celebrated in song and that he is
lineal descendant of Burns Mouse's nest
or the parturiest mountain of Horace.

How is it? Only few days ago and
since the commencement of the present
session of congress, a Vermont newspaper,
speaking of the representative from the
second district, said "Mr. Denison is
" the same kind of republican that Sena-
" tors Edmunds and Morrill, are." What
do our senators think of the compliment?
Rather q left handed one is it not The
same authority further informs us that
Denison is a man of decided convictions
and /" his convictions are founded upon in
telligence." II his vote on the anti-third
term resolution was the result of such con-
victions and intelligence, we sincerely trust
that the people of Vermont will, here
after, look for something besides "decded
convictions" " founded upon intell-
"gence" in their members of congress. We
are happy to say that Denison's kind of in
telligence is exceedingly rare in Vermont,
and the few left that are possessed OF 1t
are Dudley G. Denison and the newspaper
aforesaid.

A Remarks able Professional success,

Among the notable professional men OF this
country who have achieved extraordinary sue
cess is DR.. X. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. The
prominence which he has attained has been
reached through trictly legitimate means and,
so far, therefore, he deserves the enviable repu-
tation which he enjoys. This large measure OF
success is the result of a thorough and careful
preparation for his calling, and extensive
reading during a long and unusually large prac-
tlce, which have enabled him TO gain high
commentator, even from his professional
brethren. Devoting his attention to certain
specialtieS OF the science he has so carefully
investigated, he has been rewarded In a re-
markable degree. In these speclalties, he has
become recognized leader. Not lew of the
remedies prescribed by him have, 1t Is said,
been adopted and prescribed by physicians In
their private practice. His pamphlets and
larger works have been received as useful con-
tributions 10 medical knowledge. He has re-
Gently added another, and perhaps more I'm
portant work, because OF more general appli-
cation, to the list OF his published writings.
This book, entitled "The Peoples Common
Sense Medical Adviser" is designed to enter
Into general circulation. DR.. Pierce has re-
ceived acknowledgements and honors from
many sources, and especially scientific degrees
from two OF the first medical institutions In
the land.
