THE LEGISLATURE.
FIFTY-NINTH DAY-coNTINUED.

MONDAY, July 18th.
Rep. Kaulukou thought the idea
of the resolution was very good, as
showing the interest of the mover in
the welfare of the people. At the
same time it involved outsiders
coming into this house to dictate
legislation. The members elected
by the several constituencies were
competent to pass upon all matters
affecting the prosperity and health
of the people. Unless the people
of the other islands were consulted,
the committee could only report the
opinions of Honolulu, and there was
no provision for the expense of ex-
tending the enquiry to the other
islands.
After remarks by Reps. Lilika-
lani and Kaunamano in Hawaiian,
without Interpretation, the question
was put, resulting in the resolution
being tabled.
Rep. Aholo presented resolution
for an appropriation Of 300 for
improving roads in Lahaina, and
moved its reference to select COM
mittee on road items. Carried.
Minister Gibson presented the
house, on behalf of the printing
committee, with copies of the mill
tary bill and a bill relating to labor
contracts.
Rep. Thurston gave notice of the
following question to the Minister of
Interior -
''Whereas the Minister Of the
Interior is now advertising for sale
the lease for 20 years of the lands
of Opea, Peleau l and 2 and Ava
publ, situate about two miles north
of Hakalau Plantation, district Of
Hilo, Hawaii, containing about 1850
acres, of which at least $50 acres is
good cane land; therefore please
state why this land is to be disposed
of and why it is not reserved for
settlement under the homestead
act"
Minister Gibson said the transac-
ton belonged to his predecessor,
and he would make enquiry and
present his reply in writing.
On motion Of Rep. Kaulukou, at
noon, the house took recess till
1880 p. NJ.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

The house resumed at l:45.
Rep. Kaunamano announced
meeting Of the select committee on
the item of $35, 900 for Hilo roads,
to be held at o'clock on Tuesday
morning, and moved that all the
resolutions, ETC., relating to roads
and bridges be taken from the table
and referred to said committee.
Carried.
Rep. Aholo gave notice of bill
to amend the Auditor Generals act;
also, bill to provide permanent
settlement for Daniel Napela.
Rep. Kaunamano read first time
an act to amend several sections of
an act to repeal chapter 10, Civil
Code, relating to the Bureau of
Public Instruction, also to repeal
and amend other acts on the same
subject. Ordered to be printed.
ORDER OF THE DAY.
On motion of Rep. Kaai, the
house proceeded to the order of the
day, resolving into committee of the
whole on the Appropriation Bill,
Noble Cleghorn in the chair.
Bridge and Grading Punchbowl
street .................... 84,UOU
Minister Gibson, in reply to Rep.
Brown, said this was for work partly
done.
Noble Walker, in reply to the
same member, said the Chinese labor
on the work was engaged through a
Chinese agent.
The item passed.
Bridge and Grading Kinau street $4,000
Rep. Thurston thought this was
very high, and said the road was
being built through an old material
dump, costly work without much
necessity. He presumed the bulk
of the expenditure was on the bridge
at the corner of Punchbowl street.
There were nowtwo good approaches
to the place this street was intended
to open up. With limited fund
for streets, it would be better to
stop spending money there and have
the extension of Kukm street, which
was very necessary, carried out.
Rep. Kekoa had been to see the
place and could see no need for the
expenditure, therefore moved the
item be struck out.
Minister Gibson, in reply to Rep.
Keau, said some money was due for
work done, adding that he had ordered
the work stopped, because the labor
was costing too much. The house
ought to pass this amount.
Rep. Keau had observed a very
strange policy adopted on the roads
Expense was incurred where it was
not needed, and roads needing re
pairs we're neglected. There wal
no appropriation for Punchbowl Of
Kinau streets last session, but there
were amounts voted for the extern
sion of Queen street and the open
ing of the Kamehameha road, which
should have been expended but were
not. The extension of Maunake;
street to meet Kukui street wa
really necessary. Therefore, III
hoped that in future the Minister
would spend money where it wa
appropriated for, and not waste i
on unauthorized and unnecessar,
work.
Minister Gibson replied that thu
amount was in the statement of in
debtedness of the Interior nov
! being printed. He agreed with al

Blood Money.

There is distillery in Massachu-
setts, "the largest rum distillery in
the world SO says an eyewitness
to the following account, and 1.-the
amount manufactured averages ninety
barrels a day, some for home
consumption, but the greater part for
export to the coast of Africa. The
barrels contain forty-three gallons, and
the internal revenue tax is ninety cents
per gallon - thirty-cight dollars and
seventy cents a barrel. For ninety
barrels, days work, the Treasury of
the United States is enriched SO, 4S3,
minus the cost of the services of rev.
enue watchmen. That the Govern
ment shall not be defrauded farthing
of the ungodly gain, or one drop of the
fire water may not be lost, Govern
ment padlocks are placed upon
the rum reservoirs, guarded and
opened daily for measurement, by
internal revenue officers" Ninety
barrels day! Can any one follow one
days proceeds of this infamous busi-
ness, and trace its awful curse trailing
over the homes of men? Go where it
will, it goes as curse. And the Ma
tons revenue stamp is but the stain cf

ICELAND IN SUMNER.
Cool spot For American arm-weathsr
Tourists.

Holiday-makers who are at lose
where to go to insure a cool spot, may,
perhaps, be tempted to try Iceland. 1t
is not necessarily cool there, notwith-
standing the refreshing sound of the
name, but it is good deal less likely to
be hot than Swiss or even Scotch val
leys, and there is a good deal more to
see that would be fresh to the visitor.
Nor is the island by any means difficult
to get at. The Danish royal mail steam
ers make amOnthly voyage from COpen-
hagen to Revkiavik, and five Of them
run all round the island, as well as cali
ing on each voyage at Leith. There is
also an English line during the summer
from Leith to Reykjavik. Iceland is by
no means the dmnutive country which
people who do not look at large maps
are in danger of supposing it to be,
when they read that the popu-
lation does not exceed that of a
third-rate English town. 1t is
possible to travel from east to west in
direct line for a greater distance than
from London to Carlisle, so that the
island is really of very respectable di-

ters of sweetness and light. by any
means an uncultured race. They have
had a parliament of their own-the AL
thing-for now nearly one thousand
wears, and they are great deal better
Instructed than European populations
generally. -,
The ordinary cockney tourist would
hardly find himself at home among
them: but an intelligent observer, inter-
ested in the study of nature and in the
wavs of isolated communities, might
really do much worse during the sum-
mer months than brace himself up for
the winter bv a week or two in Iceland.
Fishing and farming are the lcelander' 5
principal pursuits, and fishing is more
important, perhaps, than farming.
There are practically no manufactures
in the country, and trade is so little de-
veloped that up to last year the
island did not even possess
bank. though the Althing was serious
ly occupying itself with the establish
ment of such an institution. Some in-
teresting information on Icelandic fish
cries is contained in the last report pre-
sented to Foreign Office by Mr. Consul
Paterson. The Iceland fisherman 8
best customers are not his comparative
ly near neghbors-he has no neighbors
at all but the Greenlanders, within six
hundred miles-but the Spaniards. A
good deal of the fish caught goes to
Copenhagen, but more to Spain, and
Spain gets the pick of the catches.
Wheat-growing is no part of the lee
land farmers industry. For that the
climate is not warm enough. He breeds
focks and herds, and during his short
summer is much concerned for the re-
suits of his hay harvest. These, last
wear. were not satisfactory in the south
ern part of the land, owing to the oc-
currence of wet weather late in the sum-
mer. A further reduction of live stock
was the consequence of the scarcity OF
fodder. In the north, however, the hay
crop was good, and the farming inter
est there is fairly prosperous.-M ".

TEMPERANCE READING.
A NOBLE WORK.

Tniling on mid the ripened grain

Many Il Skillful abOrer
A gancing sickle wields
ShiHctn the sun at morning hour
On busy hearts and hands,
The noOnt de glow and wcsteTing beams
Light myriad tOilng bands
Nor tarrteth long enough the day
For the zeal OF these workers true;
In the morn clear light and in somber night
They are found at their tasks anew.
Are these reapers unwearied. of stawart
strength,
And forms OF giant mold?
Does the harvest they gean bring rich return
In wealth of shining gody
Why, look yc well. They are womankind
Who are tOilinG night and day,
And the harvest gains they eagerly crave
Are the sous of men, they say.
Where the demon of drink battle has
gained.
And men have gone down in the fight,
Where youthful hosts, unScathed as yet,
The cncmy's blows invite;
Where tears are flowing and hearts are rent
And desolatc homes stand somber and
grim;
Where Heaven bends low if souls repent
Where He leadcth they follow Him.
With head and heart and hand they work,
With word persuasive with song and
prayer,
With dauntlcss cndcavOr and spirit brave,
To rescue tn" fallen they all things dare.

RARE OLD WILLS.
Peculiarities of Human Nature Illustrated
in the Probate Office.


in the Probate Office.
The first will ever admitted to pro-
bate in Philadelphia was executed in
1852 by Thomas Freams. 1t is in a
perfect state of preservation, and is ac-
companied by bond and inventory OF
the effects of the deceased. which showed
that he died worth ESQ.
Stephen Girard's will is another curl
Gus work. 1t is in book form, covers
thirty-fve pages, with Girard's sigma
ture at the bottom of each page. After
executing it Girard became possessed of
additional property, which necessitated
the adding of three pages of codicils.
His estate at his death was valued at
nearly S5,0O0.000.
The smallest estate ever admins
tered on was valued at $40. and the
largest S12, 900, being that of Asa
Packer.
The will of Matthew Baird, who be-
queathed an estate valued at Sl,OOO,-
600, was written on one sheet of legal
cap, while other wills, representing
values in the neighborhood of $500,
cover eight or nine large pages of pa
per. The shortest will ON record con-
tainS but two lines.
The records for the year 1910 contain
a will written upon a common piece OF
straw-paper, such as butchers wrap meat
in. 1t had been torn from a sheet and
has ragged edges, and is written in lead
pencil, the signature and bequest being
unintelligihle.
A will recently admitted to probate
set aside sum of money which the de-
ceased requested should be spent for a
barrel of whisky to be drank by his
friends after his burial. Another man,
more temperate in his tastes, ordered
that his friends should drink barrel of
cider at the expense of his estate.
The will of Sergeant Hampden Sidney
Gardner, who was member of the IA
nous Greely expedition, appears among
the records of last year. 1t was writtes
at Camp Clay, Darlington island, near
Cape Sabine, Arctic regions, on June II,
1884, Just before he died. The document
is strip of paper about twelve inches
long by three inches wide, and is writ
ten in lead pencil. By it he left 5000 to
his wife, to whom he was married but a
short time previous to the journey which
ended in his death. Philadelphia Rec

The Efficacy of Moxa.

Although tattooing is confined to the
lower orders of the japanese, round
white spots are to be seen on the skin OF
almost every native of Japan in all
ranks of life. These spots are known.
DR.. Baelz tells us, as ''moxa," and they
are produced by burning the flesh in a
peculiar way, with the object of curing
some disease. The belief in the efficacy
of moxa is universal in Japan, and the
Portuguese and Spaniards must have
adopted the same faith in its power to
alleviate or cure deep-seated pain, for
they introduced both the treatment and
its japanese name into Europe.-N J

PLEURO-PNEUMONIA.

Outbreak in Indiana-The Fatal Lack of
Proper Legislation.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 1O.-The State
Board of Health, accompanied by two vet
Urinary surgeons, have gone to Clinton
County to-day to investigate the pleurO-
pneumonia there. Congressman-elcct
Cbeadle makes the following statement of
the condition of things there: A few
weeks ago a firm in Ohio shipped to Frank
fort 200 head of spring calves, known among
stock men as dairy calves" One hundred
were sold in Clinton County, the bal
ance to parties vino shipped them to Illi-
nOis PleurO pneumonia exists in aggIa-
Yated type among those sold in Clinton
County. Two were kill and a pOst-mOrtem
held by DR.. Navin, State Veterinarian, and
DR.. Jud COlvliP, Of Frankfort. These two
surgeons and others vino witnessed it are
agreed upon the disease. These gentlemen
say, and both are good authority, that every
case must be fatal; both are agreed, and
sustained by the best authority in Europe
and America, that the only effectual remedy
is TO Kill and burn up all diseased and eX-
posed animals. 1t is not safe 10 kill and
bury tie cattle. Indiana has nO statute law
which meets the case. All shat can be
done under the law Is TO quarantine the
diseased cattle. This will not prevent the
spread OF the disease among healthy cat
tie Under these circumstances our State
authorities must make a precedent. We
stand face TO face with devastating cattle
scourge. Mr. Cheadle asks that the infected
cattle he burned the State authorities to
depend upon the Legislature for an indorse-
ment of their course.

Metallic Railway Lies.

The subject of the introduction Of
metallic railway ties as an imperisha-
bic and economical substitute for the
present article has led am authority I'm
this line to write that, after much track
walking and observation Of the condi-
ton of wooden cross ties in various
stages Of decay, he concludes that thc
principal cause of their short life is not
natural decay, but decay hastened bv
frequent laceration and breaking of the
wood fiber by the rail spike, the break
age in every instance being from the
surface, which is unsheltercd from
weather and subject TO constant strain
from passing trains. Experiments in
stone and iron ties, he says, have
proved very unsatisfactory, the wood
tic being declared by railroad men un-
equaled. Any thing that will render
the service Of the latter more lasting
must prove a great boon. Ills own OBJ
scryatiOn leads him to believe that a
raIl chair which will prevent the mutil-
alton of the tie in question, and at the
same time avoid the strain and wave
motion impaired to rails by passing
trains, will add 20 the average life Of
the wood tie nearly one hundred per
cent. and would at the same time de-
crease the cost Of track maintenance

NEW YORK. Nov. 1O.-The examination
claims to be Sir Roger TichbOrne, upon
charge of making a false pension claim,
was begun before United States Commits
sioner Benedict in Brooklyn. James n.
Ward, chief clerk in the Pension Depart
ment at Washington, testified that he made
the complaint and was present at the time
of the arrest. A copy of tie original dis
charge of Charles Curtis, which is on file
in the Second Auditors Office at Washing
ton, was placed in evidence. 1t set forth
that Charles Curtis was a private
of Con. Dany F, One Hundred and
and enlisted on February 12, 1868,
was discharged from the service to date
from June II, 1865, by reason OF the muster
out of the regiment. Said Curtis was born
in Canada, is thiTty-seven years of age,
feet 10 inches in height, light complex
ion, blue eyes, dark brown hair, and by
occupation clerk when enlisted. The
Identification paper shows that it was made
before Justice of the Peace Charles T. Mon.
roe on March II, 1865, at San Diego. Cal. The
papers further show that Curtis was
wounded in battle. Mr. Thomas Orms6y,
who knew the heir to the TichbOTne estates,
visited the United States courts and saw
Curtis alias Charles OrtOn, who happened
also to be in the building. Mrs. Ormsby
said subsequently that lie failed to TecOg-
niZe either of the two men as the missing
heir. The lawyer for the accused is conf
dent of proving that his client is Charles
