Mr.. Editor AS you have frequently ask
ed one to send you any items of interest
occurring in this neighborhood, now write
to inform you there was II large audience
in attendance on Friday last, the 18th inst d,
at the exercises of the Annual Commence
ment OF Miss Annie NJ. Bakers Private
School, at Germantown Station. This school
was established some three years ago, and
| Miss Baker certainly deserves, and am sure
receives, the thanks OF all interested for the
very able and skillul manner in which she
has managed the same. The exhibition
showed very marked improvement in the
children. (fhe young ladies up in their
teens will excuse one for calling them chill
dren) | wont trespass on your space by
giving detailed account Of the exercises.
Suffice it to say, the young ladies and young
gentlemen acquitted themselves very well
indeed, no doubt To the satisfaction OF their
parents and friends, and the great gratiiica-
ton of their teacher. or course some few
excelled, but as | don't wish to make in
vidious distinctions it Is better to let them
think all did So. The recltatons were all
good, and some OF them very amusing.
Miss Susie Hlckersons original essey, Git
was the only oue,) on "Noted Poems" was
very well written and quite as well read.
Miss Jennie WILSON'S composition on "W rit-
ing Materials" was also very good Music
in Camp" recled by Miss Annie Snyder
was excellent. The CaIisthenic exercises
were quite entertaining
| think the girls rather excelled the boys,
though as have always been partial to the
girls, perhaps | am not fair Judge. | don't
like to pass over the boys, but, indeed they
all did so well ! can't make any distinction.
| herewith hand you IL list Of the premi-
ums, kindly furnished one by Miss Baker.
The publication Of the same will please the
children and oblige

Cheap and Effective.

Editor Sentinel Acting on the principle
that information inclosing possible benefits
TO neghbors should not be Withheld, l wish
TO tell the ISentiners readers of a contrivance
of rare value. 1t is an elevator in well,
working on simple system Of weights and
puleys. The capacity OF mine is twenty
one gallon crooks, or less with vessels for
butter The constant temperature is 509
making butter very hard, and milk as cold
as should be drunk With this arrange
ment, stone dairies with spring water pos
sess no greater advantages for butter max
ing. Doubters may be convinced by actual
test. NV well is forty feet deep, with from
seven to ten feet of water. The elevator de-
scends sixteen feet leaving at least fourteen
feet between that and the water, and SO,
rendering any wood taste or other defect
| impossible An ice.hOuse and ice Chest,
both costing considerable, have been dis
carded as more than useless, while the labor,
and sometimes cost, of handling ice is
avoided. The cost, in itself small, is not ~
be mentioned beside the results. Any iron

Luxuriant Hair


Can only be preserved by keeping the
scalp clean, cool, and free from dan
druff, and the body in healthful
condition. The great popularity OF
Ayers Hair Vigor is due to the fact
that it cleanses the scalp, promotes the
growth OF the hair, prevents it from
falling out, and gives it that soft and
silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty.
Frederick Hardy, OF Roxbury, Mass,
a gentleman fifty years of age, was fast
losing his hair, and what remained was
growing gray. After trying various
dressings with no effect, he commenced
the use OF Ayers Hair Vigor. "It
stopped the falling out" he writes /;
"and, to my great surprise, converted
my white hair (without staining tho
scalp) to The same shade Of brOton it
had when l was % years Of age"

A similar result attended the use OF
Ayers Hair Vigor by Mrs. o. o. Pres
colt, of Charlestown, Mass. Miss Bessie
II. Bedloe, of Burlington, Vt, Mrs. j.. j.
Burton, Of Bangor, Me, and numerous
others.
Tho loss OF hair may be owing to inn
purity OF the blood or arrangement OF
the stomach and liver, in which case,
course Of Ayers SarsaparilIa or Of
Ayers Pills, in connection with the
VigOr, may be necessary to give health
and tone to all the functions OF the
body At the same time, 1t cannot be
too strongly urged that none OF these
remedies can do much good without
a persevering trial and strict attention
to cleanly and temperate habits.

Danger in the Wires,

a series of startling episodes on the
electric light circuits within the past
few days emphasizes the caution in
the GAZETTE editorial prior to the in
auguration of the system.
On Thursday night sparks were
emitted from the electric wires,
through the boughs of an oleander
tree coming in contact with them, OPP
posite the residence of Hon. iona.
Austin.
On Friday night one of the Bell
telephone operators named Crane re-
ceived pretty severe shock while
using the calling wire of a Nuuanu
street subscriber. About the same'time
it was reported to Mr.. Cassidy, Super
intendent, that the instrument in the
Eagle House was on fire. He went
there promptly and cut the connec-
tions, but not before the internal
economy of the telephone had been
destroyed by combustion.
Subscribers of the Bell Telephone
Company were some of them notified
that night that they might have to be
deprived of communication owing to
the contact of wires with the electric
light cables.
Enquiry of the Mutual Etelephone
central office elected the information
that there was a good deal of induction
on its wires all along from the electric
light line. There was no unusual
trouble, however, from that source
Friday night.

More Skull Cracking.

A serious and somewhat mysterious
affair occurred early on Sunday morn
ing. Daniel Bone, a ship carpenter
employed at the Marine Railway,
lives in a fioatable cabin on the rail-
way lot. He was observed to have a
light burning about o'clock. Shortly
afterward a noise was heard in the
neighborhood as of somebody falling,
and Mr.. James Lyle, superintendent
of the works, rose and looked out. He
saw Bone and two other men on the
platform of the cabin, the former
apparently trying to send the others
away. The men took a walk round
toward the Immigration Depot pier
and soon after left the premises.
In few minutes Bone knocked at
Mr.. Lyle's house door, and on that
gentleman's appearance told him that
he had got into the worst trouble of
his life. His condition was strong
evidence of the truth of the assertion,
his white shirt being saturated with
blood flowing from an ugly cash IN
the top of his head. Although SEEM
ingly sober he declared he did not
know the names of the men who had
been with him. Mr.. Lyle telephoned
to DIR. Gray, then harnessed his horse
and took the injured man in his brake
to the doctors office. The wound
made an indentation deep enough to
take in mans finger, the scalp being
cut through for length of three or
four inches. DR.. Gray put three
double stitches in the wound, while
the patient gave expression to feelings
of great pain.
Bone was at once driven back to his
cabin, where he was left as comforta
bic as could be expected. About 4
o'clock he was seen leaving his cot and
going up town. Between and I
O'clock natives living near the Immi-
grafton Depot found him lying sense
less by the roadside, and taking him
into one of their houses they notified
the police. Mr.. Lyle having been in
formed of the facts just stated went to
the place and asked to have the in
jured man taken to his own house for
proper care. Bone then seemed to be
under the influence of liquor, and the
police who arrived insisted on taking
him to the Station, so that statement
as to how he came by his injury could
be obtained whenever he rallied suffi-
GENTLY.
Mr.. Lyle then summoned DR.. Gray
again to attend Bone at the Station,
as his bandage had been lost off his
head while he was out. An examina-
ton of the premises resulted in the
finding of a crowbar and another
heavy iron rod, with the former of
which Bone said his door had been
broken open. In proof of this the door
was found to be battered and broken.
Bone was detained in a cell at the
Station, and at late hour Sunday
evening was resting quietly, having
slept good deal during the day. Two
men came in the course of the day and
tried to have him released, but for
good reasons their purpose was not
gratified.

TUESDAY, APRIL 3. 1885.

A WASHINGTON special of March
It'll reports as much want of harmony
among Republicans as among Demo
Gratis on the tariff question. There is
ground in the statements made for
hoping that between the contending
factions the combined party against
the sugar duties will fall to the
ground. 1t is believed that Randall's
bill, that leaves sugar alone, will for
other reasons be more acceptable to
Republicans than that of Mills. 1t is
evident that the latter bill. which
makes a heavy reduction in sugar,
cannot pass without the aid of the
Republicans, and it is equally sure
that no Republican bill-the Repub-
l1cans favor taking off the sugar
duties entirely-can pass unless the
Democratic opponents of Mills bill
vote for it, which is not at all prob
able. As likely as not, the outcome
will be the main features of Randall's
bill or nothing. Then Hawaii will
not lose the benefit of the reciprocity
treaty.
