Requiem Mass.
HoEoLULU

A solemn Pontifcal Requiem Mass was cele-
brated at the Catholic Cathedral on Thursday last
for the repOse of the soul Of the late Pope Plus
TX. The ceremony was most imposing. The SER
vices were conducted by the Bishop, in full canoni-
Gals, assisted by his clergy. The funeral service
for the dead was chanted five times-6rst by the
Bishop, followed by each of the four priests. in
turn, the effect being very impressive. The music
consisted of the Requiem Mass, by Muller. and the
Dies Ira. by Mozart. The CataiaIque the same
as that used on the occasion of the Mass for the late
King of Italy-stood in the centre aisle. fronting
the altar, and was surmounted by the tiara, crossed
keys, and crossed stats. The pail was profusely
decorated with silver tears. and the sepulcbraI
deaths head and crossed bones; as was also the
various ornaments OF the altar, etc. The Liberia
closed the ceremonies.
The deceased Pontif was born May Is. 1892. at
Sinigagiia, a little town on the Adriatic, some
eighteen miles from Ancona. His family name
was Mastai Ferretti. During the pontidcate of
Plus VII. he went to Rome to solicit a commission
in the Papal army, but was disappointed for the
reason that he was subject to attacks of epilepsy.
Soon afterwards be received orders in the Church,
rising rapidly from priest to Abbot. Bishop. Arch
bishop and Cardinal, and seven years after receiv-
Ing the scarlet bat he was crowned with the tiara
of Pontif. 1t is said that so great was his aston
ishment on reading the thirty-6fth ballot. which
elected him, that he swooned away into an uncon-
scions state. He was elected in June, 1916, and
reigned nearly thirty-two years. His early years
have been sharply criticised. for no life. however
pure and holy, escapes criticism; but since be as
cended the throne Of st. Peter. the tongue of scan
dal has been silent, and the Church will be fortu-
nate if his successor shall equal him in goodness
and virtue. The general mourning of the faithful,
and the universal homage of respect paid to his
memory, are due. in part, to his supreme excel
lence as a man. as well as to the exalted position
of head of the Roman Catholic Church, which he
filed through such a long and troubled period.
His successor, Leo XIII. was born on the I'd Of
March, 1910. The photographs of His Holiness,
for sale at DicksOn's Gallery, exhibit marked fea-
lures: square chin, denoting frmness. eyes express
sive of benevolence, and a finely shaped, intellec-
tual head.

Mr.. EDITOR - We have been informed by
official announcement that there is a great scar
city in the water supply for this city, and that
the water is shut off every night. And yet on
Tuesday and Wednesday last an employee of
the Water Works was TO be seen at the head of
Kaahumanu street with a tin bucket bailing out
the cistern, while the precious water, which is so
scarce, formed quite a little brook, all down the
street and into the harbor. As the water dubbed
along the Indignation of passers by dubbed up,
at what was felt to be an insult to the people
of Honolulu. The report was, that the cistern
leaked. and that the water was thrown out in or
der for repairs. 1t would have been better to
allow it to leak out rather than to make at such
a time. such an ostentatiOus exhibition of waste.
As things go with us at present, valley water
may ere long be sold in our streets at so much
a bucket. and some Of us may be in the condition

To the Editor of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser:
SIR1In a lecture entitled &" Where are we
what can be done ~ which you did me the honor
to deliver in the Fort street church vestry. in the
month of November. 1873, occurs the following
passage:
" But ladies and gentlemen. there is still anoth-
er cause at work, that threatens with every year
in louder and s.erner tones another crisis, from
which there is no help, but fight: Drought and
Sterility Drought is the evil that during the last
five or six years has prominently appeared before
our eyes, although its gradual progress for years is
distinctly marked ont to the careful observer. and
1 venture to assert. that there are few that have
been closer observers Of the phenomena Of
drought and rain, than myself. In the COMMERCIAL
ADVERTISER of June 25th. 1870, I addressed a me-
mortal to the then assembled Legislature upon the
danger threatening these islands from drought.
At the same time 1 submitted to the chairman the
most liberal and disinterested proposal. TO restore
to the Nuuana River a full supply Of water within
five years by replanting the valley, and predicted
that, unless something were done soon. Honolulu
would be without water. except brackish well
water, in less than ten years. How far my predic-
tions will be verified 1 leave to you to answer to-
day after only three years have elapsed out Of the
given ten years"
This question Where are we ," was asked in
Nov. 1873. Well, what Of it? Are We not still in
the happy condition to ask that same momentous
question ? only it comes a little nearer home, me-
thinks. The question a." What can be done ?" l en-
deavored to answer years ago, and repeat to-day.
that a plentiful, sure and permanent water supply
for Honolulu can alone be derived from a forest
covered valley. unless the so long expected " cur
rents of air (" send in the meantime every fortnight
a deluge.
When it is considered that the annual evapora-
ton Of the ocean is fourteen feet, and on account
Of their position, a solid body Of water Of not less
than from sixteen to seventeen feet is driven by
the tradewinds annually over these islands ia the
shape of aqueous vapor; and considering the pres
ence Of the most magnificent appliances for a plen-
tiful supply Of rain in the shape Of mountains; and
at the same time observing how this people has for
years and decades looked on while cattle, wild an
nimals and the ruthless axe have robbed the coun-
try of the only means which by change Of atmos-
phere drew the water Of the ocean from the hea-
vens,-what must the world think Of this people!

EDITORS CHRONICLE We were
again permitted to mingle with the
citizens of the Southside, on the 18th
inst, to hear the candidates for the
County Judgeship. A large crowd
had assembled, thereby show
ing the intense interest felt in this
election. No ordinary occasion
would have brought the people to-
gether in such numbers in this day
of barbecues, picnics and grassy
crops.
At IL o'clock Mr.. T. L. Yancy
assembled the stand. He delared
himself an eligible aspirant for the
position, every way worthy CD and
well qualified, and proceeded at
once to demOlish Judge Tyler NOR
ally, mentally, physically and Off
cially, in a style which appeared, to
at least three men, in the crowd,
irresistible and overwhelming, to
wit : q Gd B. ID. JOhnsOn's circular.
This orator made no allusiOn to Mr..
johnson, but in his eagerness to blot
the Judge from the minds and
hearts of the people, reiterated the
oft-reftted charges made in said
circular in his own peculiar way,
and made a few gratuitOus asser-
tions, which stood only about thirty
minutes. He did not define his po-
sition on some of the great issues
which he formerly declared should
be discussed in this canvass.
At the close of this speech Judge
Tyler took the stand in a speech of
fOrty-fve minutes, concise, yet
clear, fOrcible and pointed swept
aside as chaff before the wind all the
charges made by Johnson and urged
by Yancy. Then, clad in the mailed
armOr of conscious rectitude, he
moved on and vindicated his record
as financial agent of the county, and
made such an exhibit of its affairs
five years ago and of its affairs now
as to convince every intelligent,
candid man who heard him that he

EDITORS CHRONICLE: notice in
your issue of last week a call made
upon me by some of my old friends
to become a candidate to represent
Montgomery county in the next
General Assembly. / have also un-
derstood that another call has been
made through the Tobacco Leaf by
others. Such evidences of high re-
gard are duly appreciated by me,
but am compelled to decline the
friendly invitation. Even if I were
the choice of a majority of the peo-
pie Of the county, | could not serve
as representative. 1t may not be
improper for me here to say that
my friends misunderstood my opin-
ions if they think that / would be a
good compromise man between the
high-tax and lOw-tax divisions of
the Democratic party. / am in IA
vor of no compromise at all. /
think the failure of the last Legisla-
ture to accept the compromise
offered by the creditors of the State
was disgraceful. If the State owes
about $25, 100000, the interest al
ready due ought to be paid, and
promptly, hereafter as it becomes
due, likewise the principal at ma
turity. A tax ought to be levied
for that purpose. If the
people are in condition to stand
taxation, there is no good reason
why the Legislature should not act
1 know not how it is
with the people of other counties,
but if / were representative of
Montgomery county, / wOnld not
hesitate to vote such a tax upon |
her, and it would not influence me
to be told that it would be Oppres-
sive and more than the people could
bear; / would not believe it. The |
people of Montgomery county ex
pend each year for spirituOus and
vinous liquors alone five times as
much money as would pay all her
State and county, railroad and cor
poration taxes, to include her part
Of the State debt, to say nothing of
the unknown hundreds of thou
sands, if not millions, annually paid
unnecessarily to fashion.
So far as this county is concerned,
here is no justification of defalca-
ion in the past, none for anything
ike reputation at present. So my
riends will see that I am not much

Water Works.

When we have Water-wOrks we
shall have no extensive fires, for we
can get cOpiOus stream of water
anywhere by just fixing the hose,
without an engine.
When we have water-wOrks we
shall not lose our strawberry crops,
or have our lawns parched with
drOuth, for we can make our own
rain when we want it.
When we have Water-wOrks we
can have water all over the house
for baths, water-closets, washing,
ETC., without the trouble of getting
it from the cistern.
When we have water-wOrks we
will not be suffOcated with dust in
summer time, for we can sprinkle
our streets effectively and cheaply.
In short, when we have water
works, water will be an Omnipres-
ent blessing for poor and rich alike,
instead of being, as it is now, an ex-
pensive luxury.
Shall we have water-wOrks?
