The second semi-monthly rally of tie
Crusaders society took place at their
hail Sunday afternoon, about three hun
dred young men being present. Thos.
ID. OBrien delivered an eloquent adj
deess urging his hearers to join the
focal abstinence cause, both for the
good example they would afford to
others and for the material and moral
advantages to be gained by connection
with Temperance bodies. He was fol-

Private Baptism.

AAsee"S
If an unbaptized person be in danger
of death, says the Catholic Telegraph,
and no bishop, priest Or deacon be near,
then any man, woman or child, can ad-
minister the Sacrament of Baptism.
And that the Sacrament may be valid,
certain conditions are necessary.
First, the water used in baptism must
be natural water, such as rain water, or
that which is taken from we'll or river.
or the sea. Bear in mind, that the
water must not be Favored with per
fume of any kind. We heard story
recently which is strong illustration
OF the necessity Of beng careful on this
point TWAS told as follows: IA noted
French Bishop had preached a great
sermon, and so impressed were his hear
ers that they were commenting in loud
and dattering words, on the sermon and
the preacher, outside the church. An
Old woman, who had nursed the Bishop,
when an infant. overheard some one
say, What great man he isl Yes, re-
piled the nurse, the is great man, but
then he was baptized differently from
other children Howl asked her list
eners Before the priest came to hap
tie him. replied she, Il dropped some
violet water in the FONT The words Of
the nurse were repeated to the Bishop,
and he was obliged to receive every Sac
rament-Baptism, Holy Eucharist,
Confirmation, Holy Orders and he re-
consecrated Bishop" Now we do not
vouch for the truth of this story, no.
knowing the author, but certainly, rose
water, violet water, cologne, Or any
other liquid mixed with natural water,
would render the baptism invalid.
Secondly, the water must be poured
on the head, if possible, and in sufficient
quantity to run, or so as that it may
truly verify the words, II baptize thee"
that is, I wash thee. If this cannot be
done, the water must be sure to touch
the person.
Thirdly, the words must be said at the
same time the water is being poured.
All Of them must be said and by that
person who pours the water.
Now, these are three simple forms
which we are sure any person of intelli
gence can remember. And simple
though they are, a soul can be saved by
them. No child need die without bap-
tism. if these forms are complied with.
We heard of child of Jewish parent.
age whose soul was saved by private
baptism. A Christian lady who lived
near was sent for by the mother Of the
child-this lady saw at glance that
the child was dying, and she very quiet
" baptized it, without being seen by
any one. In short time the child
died, and. of course, went Immediately
to heaven, since the soul was cleansed
from original sin by this simple rite.
Catholics should take care. then, to
instruct their children and their friends
on this important point, SO that no
Child may die with the stain Of original
sin upon its soul.

being at the top of the incline and the
other at the bottom, and each capable of
holding ten tons OF cane.
The cars at the top are filled with cane
from the loading station arranged along
side, high enough to allow the cane to
be handled conveniently. When filled
the brake on the brake pulley
is eased up and the train lowered
to the bottom of the track, its extra
weight drawing up an empty train to the
loading station.
On the arrival of the loaded train at
the bottom it is detached from the rope
by means of an opening link, and runs
down on the main horizontal line, to be
used when required at the mill, and an
empty train fastened to the end OF the
rope, a flag is now hoisted as signal to
those above, so that when their train is
loaded it is lowered as before. The time
occupied in making a trip is six and
half minutes.
The rope is of steel seven-eighths of an
inch in diameter, weighing three tons.
1t is supported at intervals of about 120
feet by idler pulleys of twelve inches In
diameter lined with strands of old rope
to relieve the wear on the rope.
The brake band is lined with blocks of
wood and is operated with a screw and
wheel of two feet in diameter, the man
requiring to use but little power to con-
troll the motion of the train.
By the use of the gravity railroad suffi-
cient cane is cut and delivered on the
cane carrier at the mill to make forty
five CHARTERS a day of ten hours, with
ninety-three men. This number includ-
ing the drivers of the ten four mule
wagons on which the cane is transported
from the field to the station, distance
at present of two-thirds of mile. In
case more cane is needed the force can
be increased all round.
By moving one brake arrangement to
a stition lower down on the same track
and using shorter rope, the cane from
lower fields can be handled convent

tances along the face OF the lands, the
hauling with wagons can be very much.
reduced. The cars from all gravity roads
being switched to one main horizontal
road down which they run by gravity,
the empty cars being hauled up by two
mules.

KOha'a Opinion.

Mr.. EDITOR :-Inasmuch as the time
for the reassembling of our Legislature
is at hand and there would appear to be
some talk as to want of confidence in
our present Cabinet, a feeling that we
cannot understand nor comprehend, we
take this method of making public
acknowledgment of our faith in the Min
stry of to-day. During the past few
months the reins of government have
been honestly and carefully handled,
and are now under good control. Leave
we'll enough alone, should be our motto.
These constant changes are injurious
to our credit abroad and peace at home.
1t has been said that our weakness is
our shield We have the sympathy and
strength of the great powers, who envy
ing us our enjoyment of this, the Para
dise of the Pacific, will not brook inter
terence. This doctrine may hold good,
if we 60 along sedately and sOberly, but
while opposing factions, are pulling taut
the cord OF public opinion, and so en-
gagged in party strife as to forget or put
aside their duties, annexation may cut
the knot and our Vaunted independence
be thing of the past.
There are doubtless many men of abil-
'ty, some perhaps with experience, ready
to take office, and we would perchance
like to see our friends in authority but this
is scarcely cause sufficient for change,
and We trust that the Mobiles and Repre-
Sentatiyes from this island, more especi-
ally those resident in our district, may
stand by their colors, favoring neither
clique nor party, voting honestly and
thoughtfully, and remaining true to our
present Ministry, thus ensuring good
government and continued independence
for the Kingdom of Hawaii.

transportation of Cane at Paauhar

TRANSPORTATION Of Game at PaauhaT.
On account of the lands of the Pau
hau plantation rising SO rapidly from the
sea, there being a difference in elevation
of $50 feet in mile and a half, it
would be almost impossible and very
expensive to transport the cane from the
upper lands to the mill by the ordinary
systems, except fuming.
This difficulty has led to the trial of
several systems, namely, the zgZag rail
road, the wire rOpe-way, and the pres
ent, a gravity railroad, which is oper-
ated very successfully.
A short description of the same may
be of use to those who have similar diff
culties to overcome.
The road is 1900 feet in length lai
with two lines for a little more than the
lower half, so that the trains can pass
one another, the upper portion having
but three rails, the middle one carrying
the inside wheels of both trains. The
lower ends of the tracks are switch
ed into the main horizontal line, used
for supplying the mill from outside
lands.
AT the top OF the road is placed the
brake arrangements, consisting of a
two.grooved wheels, eight and a
half feet in diameter with a brake
fiange cast on the top side, of the
same diameter, and four inches in
width. The grooves are made V shape,
With a recess turned in the bottom to

THE Legislature has been considering
lately a bill which proposes to make
tuition in the Government schools OF the
country free This applies, however,
only to the Primary Schools, and not to
those of a high grade, like the Fort
street School, for example. We do not
know how much will have to be added
to the appropriation for educational pur-
poses, if this bill is passed, but it will
probably not be very much, and the bill
seems a good one. AS it is, a large
number of the bills for tuition fees are
never, as matter of fact, paid, so that
a good deal of ink and paper now
wasted in making them out will be
spared for more useful purposes.

The acknowledgements report is
largely occupied with an explanation
of the defects in the Police Department,
which result from the insufficient control
over it now exercised by the Attor-
ney-General, and an outline of what the
Government proposes to do in the
Police Bill. The estimates for the
police force are considerably less than
they were in the last biennial period,
and this is due to the fact that they are
made up on the supposition that the
Police Bill will become law. If it does
not, then return to the former rate OF
expenditures will be necessary. The
Government claims that by transferring
the control over the police completely
to the Attorney-General, the force can
be managed more economically as well
as more efficiently.
