The New Orleans States has scored
one against Reform Tax Collector Col.
G. Harrison Parker and clincher at
that. In enforcing the collection OF
taxes on immovabie property against
delinquent Taxpayers Col. Parker, in
violation Of the law regulating the ad-
veriisement Of tho property of delin-
quents for sale, advertised each deln-
queht's property under separate head
and conclusion, whereas one general
head and conclusion is sufficient. The
manner OF advertising adopted by Col.
Parker would have entailed an addition
al expense of about 81, 900 on the tax
payers OF his district, and prorated
would have amounted in many indi-
v1doal cases to more than the taxes. In
this instance the States has been worth
much more than its subscription price
"a. many OF its subscribers. :

their tents will probably be on Bayou

operations have been commenced there
seems to be a most reasonable probable.

The PHYSICIANS Report.

Honolulu, Aug 16, 1888.
The Trustees OF the Lunalilo Estate:
Gentlemen: Since assuming the med
ical superintendent of the Lunalilo
Home, at the beginning of this year, l
am pleased to state that the health OF
the inmates has been remarkably good.
During this period there have occurred
three deaths. One from cerebral hem
orrhage, one from syphilitic tumor OF the
brain, and one from extreme old age.
The inmates present about the same
classes of disease, and in about the same
proportions as any similar collection Of
people: such diseases as commonly occur
in old age.
l know of nothing in connection with
the Home which could act as a cause Of
sickness.
The excellent location and perfect
drainage Of the grounds allow the in
mates to escape the bronchial troubles to
which Hawaiians are so liable. The
dietary is ample, varied, and OF good
quality.
l can suggest no improvement in the
sanitary condition of the institutio n.
Yours truly,
JOHN BRoDIE.

Adjudication Upon Trustees Report--ln-

Institution.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1888-10-02

We trust that during the coming year
changes may be effected which will
materially reduce the expenses per
capita, and that the next annual report
will make better showing.
INMATES.
The inmates have received good atten-
ton, and have been supplied perhaps
too literally with all things needfuI
for their comfort. They have indeed
had home.
Dr. John Brodie, who was appointed
physician at the beginning OF the year,
has ably cared for them in their sick
ness. And there has been an improve
mentin the health Of many OF those under
his care We have sought to provide
light and suitable employment for these
old people, especially such as would give
them opportunity to earn small amounts
and at the same time afford exercise.
But we have met with poor success.
Most OF them are too feeble to work.
CEMETERY.
During the past year large burial lot
has been secured in the Makiki Gene
terry for the use of the Home. The lot
has been fenced and improved The
mortality rate is necessarily large, for
most Of the inmates are aged, and all
are infirm.
GROUNDS
The grounds at the Home are in excel
lent condition. The fruit trees and
plants heretofore planted have been we'll
cared for, and some new ones set out.
The grounds are large and considerable
expense is incurred in keeping them
free from weeds and in good order.
CONCLUSION.
The Trustees would be pleased to have
Your Honors visit the Home, and offer
such suggestions as may occur to you for
the benefit of this trust.
The Home has been great comfort
and blessing to many feeble and helpless
Hawaiians This class of the population
seems to be increasing, and we earnestly
desire to use the income of this benef-
cent fund SO as to most benefit the
greatest number, and we desire every
valuable suggestion which may be
offered.

FOR THE LADIES.

Mrs Ward, the author Of Robert Elsmere,"
is n most delightful woman, simple, charming and
entirely unspoiled by the tremendous success which
her work has brought her. She IS highly gifted in
many ways Her music Is extremely good. She
has most happy and complete life; a husband
who adores her and TO whom she is devoted, three
very clever children, and quite much social sue
cess as she wishes, with money enough to crafty
all reasonable desires.
Says the ST. Stephens RsristV, of London, Eng
land: An American correspondent tells me that
the richest woman in the States, so far as jewels
are concerned. Is Mrs. Leland Stanford, whose
precious stones are valued at 100000 She pos
sesses sufficient diamonds, rubies and other val
liable stones TO fill quart measure. One of her
necklaces cost S74 GOO"
Nine Munemitsu Mutsu, wife of the Japanese
Minister at Washington, entertains her intimate
friends with music on the "kotO," the Japanese
piano. II is six feet long by about eight inches
wide, and the silk strings drawn lengthwise on
the rounded top. Nine. Mutsu is clever per-
former on the "koto," and she is especially ac-
ceptable when she renders the music of the
" "Mikado."
Queen Victoria has begun to show most un-
comfortable mode of displaying her affection for
her favorites. Instead of presenting her friends
with Indian shawls she now gives them hand
somely bound copies of her book of travels. The
shawls were preferable to- the beautiful volumes.

the stairs and into the great audience hall. It
was placed on table, and the mourners squat
ted around on their heels on the floor. There
were no women present., but each man had be-
fore him a cup of tea, and he slipped at this
while the priests made the funeral music and
preached the funeral sermon. The priests were
about 10 in number. They were shaved headed
smooth h-Gaced Buddhists. dressed in long and
gorgeous gowns of silk and gold. Five of them
formed the orchestra, aud these kept up an in
cessant hammering upon bells and gongs during
the intervals of the service. Other priests
prayed to Buddha, and then each of the mourn
ers came up and dropped some incense into a
brazier which burned back of the coffin. The
ceremony lasted about an hour, and during
this time the mouruers sat in their stocking
feet At the close the body was taken off to
be cremated, and before leaving each of the
mourners were given a present by the son.
This was composed Of cake and sweets, and the
parcels were neatly wrapped up in paper.
