WILLING WITNESS.
Sensational Story of the Negro
Ewindler wilbur.

An investigation which promised
some sensational revelations was begun
in the Criminal Court ye; terday even
Jog, but it failed to come up to expec-
tatloDe. A darby preacher named H.
H. Wilbur, who was sentenced to six
years IN the Penitent any some months
sgo for swindling ignorant darkies by
taking money from them as the agent
of a secret society and appropriating
it to himself, secured reversal Of the
sentence in the supreme Court, which
held tbat it was a partnership affair,
and while he was morally guilty, he
could not be reached except through
q civil suit. He was then irled on six
indictments for selling whisky, which
he bought with his booty,
without licsnse, and given
the full benefit Of the law, which
fixed bis residence at the Workhouse
for six years. He was made a trusty
by Justice Mason, who was at that
time superintendent, aud carried the
hands their dinner for several months
without making sn effort to escape.
One Saturday, evening he got permits
SIGN to come to town 10 see his wife,
and when next heard Of was in o..
coca, Ark, organizing societies. He
Yves captured aud brought back, and
shortly afterward shed his shackles
and escaped from the gang, the guard
fling several shots at him without
any other result than to make him
move more rapidly. A ebert tins
since he was again na6bed at Sardis,
Mics, while he was in the
act OF organizing a society. He
had coed big roll Of money
which he had realized out Of the good
work. He attempted to show yester
day that he had been allowed to &c
by Superintendent Mason. He wal
put on the sand and testified ths

leave the State, and il he would senC

FILTH AND DISEASE.

The Bulletin" agrees with the ADvER-
TsER in decrying the existence OF filth as
calculated to foster disease. In city
such as Honolulu, where there is ample
elbow room, an abundant water supply
and a constantly renewed atmosphere
derived either direct from the ocean OF
across a range of wooded mountains,
there is no excuse whatever for bad
smells, which have become permanent
in certain localities. Were it not for the
accumulation OF refuse repeatedly com.
planned of by more than one newspaper
in this city, they would not arise. In
stances could be named in which reforms
similar to this in other parts of the
world have been postponed, and the
friendly warnings of the press disre
garded until too late.

THE RAIN STORM.

The rain storm was a timely supple
ment to the purifying agencies of Nature.
But for such occasional beneficient out
pourings by Divine Providence in this
region the population of Honolulu would
be decimated by fever, the Herculean
efforts at sanitation by the Road Super
visor and the Board OF Health notwith-
standing.
TO show that Nature was not un-
mindful of her children in this
case we may state that the rain
fall OF Wednesday and Thursday
morning last, according to DIR. Robert
McKibbin's record on Beretania street,
was 3.12 inches, and that the record at
the Survey Department, Government
Buildings, was 4 inches The amount
of surface filth washed away by the
storm water cannot possibly be estim-
ated. Then there was the underground
drainage, which must also have done d
great deal of sanitary work. And above
all it was done upon a sound economical
basis. The rain cost nothing, and it did
the work of at least fifty scavengers.
Doubtless the roads cut up by it will cost
great deal OF money to repair them,
but this should not count when estimat-
ing the benefits of providential santa
tipn

The Christmas entertainment, which
was to have been at the Lyceum last even

weather The date on which it will be
held has not been determined on.

ticular cases, but the general average is
summed up in our first sentence.
There are reasons why the Christmas
trade should be dull, however. Tie
Treaty uncertainty and political changes
involving possible financial complications
no doubt have had a depressing effect
upon the retail trade, as it certainly has
had upon the wholesale business. Then
our tradesmen have reaped an antici-
patory harvest in the birthday festivities
OF the King; and as the retail stores
made fair amount Of money upon that
occasion, they cannot very well hope to
enjoy the profits Of lavish expenditure
so soon afterwards.
The wet and iDclement weather Is an
other reason for the slack Christmas
business. After the weather cleared up
yesterday the stores were soon filled by
purchasers who waded through mud and
slush TO get to them, and should fine
weather prevail to-day we think there
will be an active holiday trade Should
rain again set in, the execrable state of
the streets and roads Will seriously inter
fere with business. Ii public thorough
fares had been only in a half decent con-
dition, we have little doubt the takings
of storekeepers in their Christmas trade
would have been twenty-five per cent
greater than it is

CHRISTMAS TRADE

As a rule the Christmas trade has
been dull. This is the testimony OF re-
tail storekeepers as whole. OF course
there are m ID fyin; statements in par
