A Remarkable Accident.

ST. Louis, Jan. LA dispatch from
San Antonio, Tex, gives an account Of
one Of the most extraordinary accidents
on record. Calvin Pease, while blast
ing in we'll last Wednesday, touched
of ehort fuse dynamite cartridge,
which exploded before he got out OF
the well.
When Brought to the surface it was
found that one of his hands was blown
of, the other badly mangled and the
entire front part of his skull, from the
eyes nearly to the crown of the head,
carried awsy leaving most OF his brain
exposed, but not injured. His eyes
were also destroyed.
Notwithstanding these remarkable
injuries, Pease has not lost conscious
ness single minute since the accident.
He eats heartily, converses cheerfully
and sleeps well, though some opiates
are necessary.
The workings Of the brain are as
much exposed as though they were
laid upon plate and endowed with
life.
The mans tenaeity Of life Is the won
der OF all the physicians aud he insists
that he will get we'll.

Cardinal Gibbons, tho official head Of the
Roman Catholic Church in this country,
has set forth the attitude OF the Church in
regard to cremation, and it can easily be
seen that there is nothing in his statements
to justify any prieat in condemning crems-
ton as contrary to the Catholic faith. The
Cardinals views were expressed in letter
last June TO Washington gentleman, and
reads as follows: s'Cardlnal Gibbons bios
me acknowledge the receipt OF your letter
OF June %. He directs me to say that the
Catholic Church discourages cremation a.
at varience with the practice Of the people
of God in the old dispensation and opposed
to tho cherished traditions of the Christian
religion This may be said to rop, esent
the vie< of the Church generally, notwith-
stap.ing the fact that two italian priests
h.ye been cremsted; and that many promi-
nent Catholic teachers in Europe and this
country are somewhat favorable to the
adoption Of cremation for sanitary reasons.

Railroad Building.

The railroad building record has
been broken this year, and it Is now
certain that the total new mileage for
the year will not be less than 1900,
exceeding that Of 1882, the maximum
year to date. The new roads are of
better build than those of former years
the:bridees:strouger, ,;the terminal facil-
tiles greatly improved. The total ex-
pendlture on railroads during .ne year
has been 1926 ,O0O, 900, and the mileage
to-day 10 l50, ITO, or as much as all the
rest of the world together.
+ With such activity, 1t is impossible
to say that the railroad business is not
prosperous. Capital would not seek
this investment willingly, would not
60 Into the construction of roads appa-
renily beyond the absolute needs of
the country, II there was no profit in
tho business. The truth Is that the
railroads, legitimately run, return
good profit on the amount invested,
but, when watered, as Mr.. Jay Gould
aud others have been In the habit OF
doing, It Is impossible to pay proper
dividend on all the securities. 1t is
evident also that there Is as yet no ex-
csssive extension of our railroad sys-
tenn. The new roads are being built
mainly 10 the South and West that are
very deficient In them; and until these
sections are as we'll supplied 1t cannot
be said that there IL an excess of mi
leage. The fact is specially striking
that the business Is most profitable
where the roads are the thickest and
most numerous. Z1nes-D Den0cfdt.

Truck Farming.

During next month will be the time
when truck iarmers should begin opera

their products into market easily; and
they must pl0w well, festilize well aud

ardu0us nor the term of it's endurance
long, while It's rewards exceed those of
all other kinds 0f farming tenfoid.
Three months Is about the average
time required to make crops Of truck,
while the net profit per acre Is about
which requires four times as long.
The lands bordering on all our rail-
roads are all adapted to truck farming,
and there is upon them ample room
for . hundred thousand Industrious
workers. These lands can be had very
cheap either by purchase or lease.
One seasons crop would pay for
farm Of Ofreasonable dimensions In almost
any Of the localities indicated, while
the outside industries which a farmer
could engage In after his truck was
harvested would easily support him.
Young men bred as clerks, mechanics
or iaboring men, could accept engages
ments In their pursuits all summer
aud fali. returning to their farms with
the new year. Many people have
grown rich In the South by pursuing
this policy, while the variety Of their
pursuits gsve zest to their lives, and
vastly improved their health.
There are thousands Of strong j
healthy young men In this city who1
remain Idly waiting for sonnet hing tOl

q little pluck aud energy, they could
soon become independent property
owners and producers of wealth. If
these younfl men only knew it, the
labor and mental worry which they
daily undergo, standing at street cor
ners waiting for what never comes to
them, IL far greater then that which

We believe the public have not heard
the whole history of the passport swindle
yet. After the original fraud was dis
covered, some of the Custom House Off
GERS went down to the quarantine station
and managed to find out through the ad-
mission OF the parties themselves, just
which Cinnamon had been the holders
OF the stolen passports. They fixed or
suppose themselves to have fixed the
right So, and these they detained with
the intention of returning them to
China. Mr.. G. Ace then applied on be-
half of one Of the Cinnamon, for a writ
of habeas corpus, it being, to say the
least, uncertain whether the Govern
ment had any right to detain them or
send them back. The intention of the
Government Was to induce the Pacific
Mail Company to take them back to
China gratis, but the agents refused alb
solutely to do anything of the kind.
The Government in consequence of this
refusal, and doubling, perhaps, their
right in the matter, abandoned the idea
OF sending the men back to ChinI, and
SO the writ of habeas corpus was not
argued. Instead, they held them to an
swer to the charge of being landed, con-
trary to the statute of 1887. The ex-
IRENE penalty on this charge is fine of
fifty dollars. The cases on this charge
are now pending in the Police Court
and at the rate at which they are being
at present conducted bid fair to last the
year out.

Party at PaauilO.

The event of last week was Mrs. J. R.
Renton's party at Paauilo. A large
number of invitations had been sent out
and very generally accepted. People
from Laupahoehoe, Ookala, Kukaiau,
Paauhau and Honokaa poured into the
village and gave animation to place,
usually as quiet as HilO.
The house was very prettily decorated;
large ferns, palms and flowers being dis
posed about with great effect. The cleo
trio light, embowered in wreaths, and
shining through a rose-colored shade,
formed the center of an arch in front of
the main entrance.
The scene at supper time was particu-
larly gay. We sat at little tables out on
the verandas, and what with the lights,
flowers and the unusually good "spread"
set before us, voted it one of the jolliest
parties we had ever assisted att

Gross Cruelty to Children.

Gross Cruelty to Children.
Mr.. EDITOR: Who of us has not felt
his blood boil at the relation of cruelty
practised in China by parents on their
daughters OF tender age, by so bandaging
their feet, through months of torture, as
to check their growth, produce distor-
ton and make them cripples for life,
and only fit to be hobbling puppets.
And all for what? Only a whim OF
fashion. But that was away off in
China.
Again, who has not felt his indigna-
ton stirred and his humanity outraged
when he heard how nations, calling
themselves civilized, Christian, human,
instead of pouring in upon the free state
of Congo, now happily opened to all
good influences, the blessings of civiliza-
ton and Christianity, are most inhu-
manly flooding it with vile liquor, ut
terly demoralizing the ignorant abor-
igines and creating a thirst which can
only be assuaged by death. But that is
away off in Africa. Nevertheless, who
would not use all his power to suppress
the nefarious business? In fact, petit
ton is being circulated, which it is to be
hoped every friend of humanity will
heartily sign, to suppress the wicked
traffic.
But what shall be said when l state
that the very same thing is done right
among us Which We look upon with such
horror in China? Only just now one of
our estimable physicians had a case
brought to his notice, here in Wailuku,
in which little girl has had the tOrturing
bandages applied by her parents for eight
months; and she is only just now able
to bear them without pain, the sense be-
ing deadened and she having attained
the supreme elevation of Chinese lady
Why was she not in school all this time
Is this the compulsory education our
laws require? But | am told the same
process is going on in Honolulu all the
time, and in not few isolated cases, but
in numbers; and there are many wit
nesSes. Have we no laws to putAa stop
to this cruelty!
l believe that if a Chinaman, or any
other man, brings a load of fowls to
market, slung over the back of a horse
or donkey, by their legs tied together,
or uses a beast having big sores made
by saddle or harness, he can be punished
for so doing, and the law is put in force.
Is there no law to prevent cruelty to
children by mutilation? Ii there is not,
there should be, and without delay.
And while their hOnors are celebrating
over the matter, they may have the
comfort of knowing that suppressed
signs and groans are ascending from
little, tender girls right in the midst OF
them
Every citizen is responsible for the
longer continuance of this torture.

THE Report of the Minister of the In
terror has at last been laid before the
House. It is longer than all the others
put together containing 24O pages and
is an able document, as we'll as one of
the most interesting we have seen for a
long time. 1t contains, besides the usual
reports of the heads of various depart
nents, number of special reports on
topics of general interest. 1t deserves
to be read through by every one who
wishes to form an intelligent notion of
what the Government is doing and pro-
poses to do. In order to bring the con-
tents as far as possible before the public,
we shall from day to day endeavor to
condense and extract the principal mat
tiers of interest contained in it, but it is
very desirable that the public should
study it for themselves.

An Invitation to the Bulletin.

Mr. EDITOR Il notice in an editorial
in last evenings Bulletin the statement
that soon after the incoming of the pres
ent government, one man was removed
from the Health Department, "whose
shoes those who insisted upon his dis
missal were not worthy to clean" We're
l at liberty to do so, and did feel JUS
titled in trespassing on your space to that
extent, would like to give the history
of the appointment of the person evil
IDENTITY referred to and the reasons which
impelled the present Board to make the
change 1t will suffice at present to
invite the Bulletin to give the name of
its paragon and of those who were iu-
strumental in his removal. The public
will then be able to judge of the compa-
rative character and merits of the par
ties referred to. ONE WHO KNOWS.
