FREE WATER.

A notice in our "By Authority" col
umn, over the signature of the Minister
of the Interior, intimates that free water
privileges shall be discontinued after
June 3Oth This is certainly a step in
the right direction The Hon. Mr..
Bishop remarked inlthe House the other
day, during the discussion on the appro-
priation for the Water Works Bureau,
that there was great room for improve
ment in its management; and we entire
ly agree with him. The Minister of the
Interior is evidently of the same opinion,
and intends to make the Water Works
as productive of revenue as possible.
With that end in view he announces
that there shall be no more privileged
persons or institutions, but that each
and all must pay for the water supplied
to them. This change will add to the
revenue nearly $4,000 year. OF course
those who have had free water for so
many years may consider themselves
injured, but they have no more right to
expect the Government to pay their
grocer's bill than to tax other people to
provide them with free water.

in saying that were all the diseased dogs
killed and their carcasses burned, an
ever-present and fruitful source Of con-
tagion would be removed, and the health
OF the people improved. 1t should be
somebody's duty to do this work. There
is an able and experienced veterinary
surgeon in the commission OF the
Government as Executive Inspector
Of Animals for the Island of Oahu,
and if any doubt arose as to the
nature Of the disease in any dog before
destroying it, reference might be made
TO that officer; but in nine cases out OF
ten the marks of disease are too plain to
be doubted. Mr. James Brodie, V s.,
the gentleman referred to, says in his
report to the Minister OF the Interior,
amongst dogs the infectious disease,
/ dog-distemper, is very prevalent and
! causes considerable loss chiefly in the
finer breed" We suspect there are
| very many worse forms Of disease among
the dogs OF Honolulu than the we'll
known "distemper" Be this as it may,
the fact that the bulk of the canine
tribe constitute arepulsive nuisance can
not be denied. As such they should be
destroyed, sparing none which exhibited
trace of disease. If valuable horses,
mules, hogs and cattle are to be de-
stroyed when they contract contagious
disease why should dogs be spared, see
/ hot har 70 he Ci
their owners, and are liable to spread ii
among children, more especially if they
happen to be pets. In conclusion, we
call the attention of the authorities tc
this matter, and if the law does not give
sufficient power to the authorities to de,
stroy diseased dogs, let the Legislature
be asked to confer it.

ISLAND NOTES.
Brutal Murder of n NOrweEIan GA
Kauai.
NAwILIwIII. Kauai. June 10Th.

NAwILIwILI, Kauai, June 18th.
A brutal murder occurred near Wal
mea on Saturday night, June 18th. An
old Norwegian, named P Nelson, g
laborer at Kekaha plantation, left
Waimea for Eleele, at about ! 80
p. II. On Sunday morning he was
found in a dying condition, about a mile
from Gays ranch, by some kanakas. He
was unable to speak, and abundant evil
dences in the shape of Commissions and
bruises about the head and face at
tested the brutality OF his assassins. 4
stone was wedged in between his Jaws,
which served as a gag. An examina-
ton showed that three ribs were broken,
and the skull was badly fractured
Sheriff Wilcox took charge of the body.
Judge F. Kahale the following day
impaneled a jury, composed of the fol-
lowing citizens: Francis Gay, F. Smith,
Brooks Smith, Z. Borchgrevink, Louis
Holtz and A. H. Hoffgard. The jury re-
manned in session three days. Grave
suspicion existed against three Brazilian
negroes and a Tahitian known at the time
of the murder to be in that vicinity.
They testified that they passed near the
scene of the murder and went on their
way to a house about a mile distant
They engaged in a game of cards at this
house, and passed the night there. II
seems to have been their first visit Il
the house in question. The inquest fl.
nally resulted in verdict of murder by
! persons unknown. No arrests have
been made up to this writing. When
the deceased left Waimea he had 81!
and gold watch. These, with his
boots, are missing. He leaves a widow
| and four children.

recollection of readers OF the ADVERTISER
that it announced the crew of this vessel

Accident on Beretania street.

On Saturday, while Mrs Berger, wife of
-Bandmaster Berger, was driving along
Beretania street, with her children in a
carriage, the horse suddenly SHE'D at a
rubbish pile on the roadway beyond
Thomas Square, and a little boy was
pitched out of the vehicle, falling be-
tween the wheels. With great presence
of mind, Mrs. Berger pulled the horse
one side, and a wheel only grazed the
little fellows arm. He was badly
bruised and cut about the face, how
ever. 1t is fortunate he was not more
seriously hurt or even killed outright.
The Road Supervisor should endeavor to
have the thoroughfares cleared Of all OBJ
structions to travel. Should a fatal ac-
cident occur through failure to do so, it
is open to question whether the Govern
ment would not be liable for damages.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU.

Ere the CARBON ADVOCATE reaches
many of its readers the church bells will
have pealed their merry Christmas greet
ing, and echoed and re-echoed through hill
and dale the beautiful story of babe, who
was God the Son, born in manger in the
city of Bethlehem, on Christmas morn.
In all the churches throughout the civilized
world there will be services to-day, devoted
to the praise and the glory and thanks
giving of Him who died the terrible death
upon the cross, that we might live and en-
Joy everlasting life, To those who have
put their trust in Him who does all things
well IL will be day for the dispensatiOn of
charitable and christian duties, thereby fill
Ing the hearts of the poor and needy with
glad and noble blessings Of Him ''who
moves in a mysterious way His wonders to
perform" whilst to the ungodly it will be
. period devoted to drunkenness and crime,
filing the hearts of mothers, wives and
children with sorrow akin to pain. To
Christmases of long years ago, when they
Joined the happy choruses in singing merry
Christmas carols of ''peace on earth good
will to men," To the young it will be a
period Of gIadness and JOY as they sing out
their merry Christmas greeting, and ex-
change their tokens of friendship. To old
and young, rich and poor the CARBON AD-
voCATE extends warm and hearty MER-
RY CHRISTMAS with all the many pleasures
attendant thereto.

CHILD LARuK IN THE COAL REGIONS.

Fne miners boys and girls have no child
Hood. Hundred of children, from seven to
fifteen years Of ago.. ace at work at the hard
coal mines slate picking, and at the soft
coal mines coke trimming and mule driving.
Hard, drudglng toll is the lot of these little
ones, all day long in the dust and CRIME of
the picking shed, winter and summer.
What wonder that the majority of graves
in the miners cemetery are short ones. A
stunted, defrauded childhood, a siclkly and
mfirm youth, and a manhood old and de-
erepid before its time; this is not an un-
common experience, among these coal
workers. 1t is tTTIe that there is a law for
bidding the employment of young children
in collieries on the statute book, but the
evidence is convincing that it is very rarely
enforced. The poverty of the parents and
the indifference of the employers stand in
the way. As late at 1888 there was no
compulsory school law in Pennsylvania,
and if there be now. it is, like the law re-
ferred to above, almost never enforced in
the coal regions. When work is slack the
miner sends Lis boys to school, where they
get all the education they ever have. AT
other times they, as well as their fathers,
must work.-George A. Denison in Work
and Wages.

comors. Who will pay ten cents for an
eye-opcner Of bad vhiskey when he can get
a cup of Mocha anl Java mixed and a bot
roll for one cent? Who will give five cents
for schooner when he can stuff himself
full of hot soup and good bread for one-ffth
of the price of a glass of lager2 Make these
coffee and soup houses as numerous as the
saloons and in less than year there would
be bankruptcy in half The dstilleries and
breweries in the country. Success to the
soup, and good luck to the coffee.
One of the most singular cases that eyer
came before our Courts is that of Mrs.
Stevens, who is now suing her husband for
divorce. That woman should sue for q
divorce is nothing very remarkable, but the
popularity of this case is that the lady did
not await the decree of the Court before she
took second husband-a Mr.. Murphy
and as it appears upon the trial, with the
full and free consent of husband No. 1,
whose dearest friend is husband No. 2.
There are no pistols and coffee in this. It's
all ice cream and lady fingers. How the
woman can escape the charge of bigamy l
don't know. She is now under arrest for
constructive larceny, haying passed a
worthless check. With two husbands to
assist her, however, each DEVOTED to her.
and each apparently devoted to the other,
she may possibly get out of her present un-
pleasant dilemma. States Prison is un-
comfortably near, and it is not impossible
that her second honeymoon may be passed
in the vicinity of Sing Sing
Wonderful! wonderful most wonderful
are the windows of the stores in these holi-
day days! 1t is not the rich goods that are
the chief attraction but the beautiful tab
leaux and pictures that almost seem to
reach the limit of human genius. Macy's
window at the corner of Sixth avenue and
14th Street has always been attractive at
holiday times, but this year far surpasses
anything ever attempted in New York be-
fore. 1t is procession of the nations.
No description can do it justice, and from
morning till night thousands crowd about
the windows enjoying the mimic spectacle.
The weather cold and seasonable, and
all New York is III the streets.

EXEMPT FROM TAXES

The school directors at their regular
monthly meeting to be held on the first
Monday in January, will, we hope, follow
in the footsteps of our borough fathers and
exonerate from the payment of taxes for
period of ten years the Hersh Steam Heat
ing and Manufacturing Company, who pro-
pose locating here. 1t has been reliably
stated that the new industry will employ
eighteen to twenty practical workmen dur
ing the first year and that it is likely the
force will be considerably augmented in the
course of few years. If this be true, and
there seems no reason to doubt the authen-
ITCHY of the statement, we feel confident
that the school directors will but be acting
wisely in following the course of our bor-
ough council OF course it should be dis
erected by this company are not to be
merely warerooms from which a retail bus
mess will be conducted, thereby injuring
to great extent the business Of our stove
dealers, but on the contrary, the buildings
exempted from taxes to be used as the
works Of the company where the steam
heaters will be mounted and shipped. In
the latter case, the course Of the gentlemen
composing our school board is clear, and by
acting accordingly they will merit the com
mendation of our townpeople. 1t would
probably not be out of place if there be a
number of our people who object to the
school board following the course of the
town council that they appear before that
body and state their objections, however,
we feel safe in saying that the majority OF
our taxpayers will highly commend any ac.
tion taken by our borough officials in the
matter of having manufacturing industries
locate here. Let progression move en-
