be of lasting benefit to the fishing
population of the kingdom. He said
that after all the expenses had been
paid a substantial surplus would
remain, which should be devoted to
improving the welfare of the fisher
men of the country and promotion
of the interests of the fisheries, in
order that the calamitics incident to
q fisherman's life might be alleviated.
The Prince was gratiiied at being
able to continue the work of his

suffer to those by which all gain.

ROADS,.

EDITOR BULLETIN 81 noticed in
your issue of the 10Th inst, a letter
complaining of the roads in Heeia
Kea, Koolaupoko.
The road in that part of the dis
trict is far from being as bad us vt is
represented by ''Voice of Heeia
Residents. 1t is true, however,
that "this road is constantly being
Travelled over by the plantation carts
daily" and it is principally owing
to their travelling over it, during the
rainy season, that it is in such q
poor condition. 1t is true also,
that heavy road taxes are paid in
the neighborhood;" and they are
spent very judiciously by the gov
ernment, through our competent
Road Supervisor, Mr.. L. Lloyd. 1t
is not likely, however, that there
are other reasons but economy" for
not fixing the road at present in
Heeia Kea.
Allow me to say, our road super
visor is constantly working on the
roads and bridges in this district.
He has been working faithfully and
economically on the Kancohc bridge
ever since the last heavy freshet;
and if he had not been very cautious
that bridge would have been carried
away. Since then two good bridges
have been constructed at Heeia Kea.

The Stratford Murder,

Arrest of WIIlfam m Brush, Husband of
 the Murdered WOman-CIaIms HIS In-
 nOcence.
 Yesterday afternoon Detective Weeks, of Pinkerton's agency, arrived in Bridgeport with William Brush, husband of Phoebe Brush, and one of the persons suspected of complicity in the Stratford murder mystery. He was taken to the police station and will
 be held for examination. He is rather dark,
 not tall in stature, and lightly built. He was
 arrested the night before at his room in Thirty eighth street, New York. He protests
 his innocence of the crime, and claims that he did not know of the murder until he was arrested. He says that he can prove by 8
 number of people that he has not left New York in three months. He has been work ing for MT. Highmarsh, who keeps board ing house in Thirty first street, and although they must have heard of the murder through the papers, he claims that not one word was said to him concerning it. According to his account he has not seen his wife since last spring. At that time he happened to be
 passing through Stratford, and stopped at her mothers house, where she was, remain ing only ten minutes or so. He seems very
 confident of proving an alibi. On the other hand, it is stated that parties in Strat- ford saw him there only day or two after the commission of the crime.

Wilsonia Magnetic
 MUTUAL. Health Insurance,

We make no specialties among the multi form diseases. in treating with the Wilsonia Magnetic Appliances.
 Testimonials of cures of all diseases by Wilsonia are too abundant to admit of a doubt as to it's curative powers, but Catarrh being very prevalent in this climate, we are calling special attention to this disease.
 Catarrh is essentially blood poison, and body. Personal experience, as well as many indisputable cures by Wilsonia in this city and neighborhood, prove beyond the shadow of doubt that this mode of treatment is the most successful ever adopted for the cure of Catarrh. It so changes the quality of the blood that the system throws of the germ of the disease, and is purified. We have not known one case of Catarrh, Dyspepsia, Con- stipation or Rheumatism to fail of cure where the Appliances were worn as directed. We therefore give guarantees for the cure of these three diseases, or refund half the mon- ey, simply to get the doubting to try, for we know that none of them will ever claim the return of the money.
 Those who cannot pay all cash can pay one-half, and the balance in easy install ments.
 We ask all chronic sufferers who are able to call and get particulars from our agent; JULIUS IVES, No. Elm street, Todd's Block, New Haven, or by sending card he will visit them.
