| The practice which a restaurant keeper ON King
street Fort street INDUCES in keeping open
| his place of business after midnight Saturday
is a fragrant breach of the Sunday law and should
be stopped 10y the police. As the restaurant is
within view of the Police Station it is presumabe
that the proprietor and his place are under police
| protection,
And now the worn out quarters, which the bar
keepers have been showing for years past on their
toO-conlding customers, will no more visit the
places that know them so WE'LL this being their
last day of grace. Trade in the local gin mills
will, of consequence be dull, because the general
public will have few smooth quarters to exchange
for matitutinal cocktail evening beer.
BY the Australian mail a pamphlet containing
two lectures upon physical education delivered by
Dr. Hutchinson late of Honolulu and now of Vel

valuable thought. Upon some points DR.. Hutchin-
son has somewhat modified his ideas.

The names of two of His Maiesty's Ministers
appear attached to bid for tenders TO repair
and enlarge a dwalling. The semi-Official man.
ner in which the tenders asked for induces the
suppostion that the lucky contractor may hope
for further favors. This putting and off the
dignity of Minister IS another specimen of the
PrOtean character Of the cabinet; one day being
devoid of official cOgnOmen and the next in full
fuss and feathers.
Considerable work is being done for the Episco-
pal Church bazaar which is to come off in Decem-

Some little CONSERVATION was caused lately at
Lihue Kauai, by the report that two cases of
smallpox had been discovered at Moloaa. DR..
! Walters, in company with sheriff Wilcox, immedi-
ately proceeded to the locality mentioned being
infected and an examination of the suspected par
| ties proved that they suffering only from
pipuH, or native itch. Everybody breathed cas-.
| Ter after the facts were ascertained.
Last week the steamer IoalrHi, Capt Cameron,
| was on the Marine Railway undergoing cleaning
aud painting, and did not leave for Kauai until
Wednesday. Notwithstanding the steamer was
| 4 day behind her regular time she returned to
| port promptly on time on Sunday morning. At
| one of the ports of call on Kauai, the Captain,
officers and crew had time, after attending to
| loading and dischargng, TO enjoy themselves by
doing some tall fishing, and judging from the fine
samples brought up, they must have had rare
sport.
Another home industry has been sampled by the
| bon riraHis attached to the GAZETTE Office this
| time > Id package of preserved bananas from
! the factory of the Alden Fruit and Taro Co of
| Waikiki, Maui presented by their local agent
| Mr. John A. Palmer. The fruit is a pleasant con-
lection, being sweet and possessing great SIM
| ilarlty IN taste TO preserved hgs. There is no
doubt but that the industry will be appreciated
both at home and abroad and that, as soon as the
company enabled TO forward a supply of these
preserved bananas for sale i'll open market, there
| will be good and constant demand.
DIR. Jared Smith of Koloa Hawaii has been in-
vted TO join the band of the resigned, and relin.
qush his post as physician of the Board of Health
Not being in accord" with the present administra
ton of course he cannot heal the sick. Any ba-
tant quack, however, who processes affection for
| Gibson Il Co. Is sure to pour healing balm on the
/ unfortunate Government patient and no doubt
the poor native if he dies, will prefer to die of
physician who is in accord rather than be saved
| by one who is not. Just Arganto in Moere's
| play preferred to die by the rules of Galen and
| HippOcrates, than be saved by professor of the
new regime.
| Mrs Love- one of the greatest losers by the late
| fire on Nuuanu street. has commenced the erection
of fine two-storv brick edfce on her lot, which,
| when completed, will be a decided improvement
in that part of the city. MIR. Thomas, the builder,
has the work in hand and is using his best energies
| to have the building completed soon. glance at
| the plan shows that care has been taken to avoid
| future causes of fire by having the bakehouse and
ovens separated by brick walls from the front
stores and concrete floors will be laid in the room
where the are located, thereby removing the
| danger from the devouring element to n minimum
| When completed, of the stores will be used by
Mrs. Love- for the sale of bread ETC., as formerly,
while the other will be fitted up as n restaurant
| The bakery will be supplied with the latest and
most improved machinery for turning out bread,
cakes, crackers, etc.
