Air in Scotch Tenements.

The authorities of Dundee, Scotland, have
been making some thorough investigations Of
the air in poor tenements. This led to COM
parison with the air of sewers, and It was
found that the sewer air was decidedly the
purer and safer OF the two. That is, there
was more carbonic acid and organic matter
and other poisons In the air of badly ven
tilated apartment, occupied by human beings,
than In a sewer. This is doubly true of over
crowded and badly ventilated halls and lecture
rooms, and such places as are often used for
auctions. The fact may be that much is laid
to the back set of sewer gas, which is simply
the natural air of the house, owing to lack of
common sense In sanitation. Thousands Of
houses get no ventilation, except that which
Is accidental; sewers would be more whole
some. Plumbers are blamed when the blame
should rest with the occupants and owners.

What the Boy Wanted.

The lawyer was sitting at his desk, absorbed
in the preparation of brief. So bent was he
on his work that he did not hear the door as II

LOOKING AFTER THE EXPENSES
The Fuss in the Indiana Legislature Re-
ruII.1

The Fuss in tho Indiana Legislature Re-
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 24.-ln the House
resolution has been offered by Demo-
cratic member appointing a committee
Of five TO investigate the books of the
State Treasurer for the years 1887 and
1888, the admitted object being to ascer
tain how much money had been paid to
Lieutenant Governor Robertson as salary
during that period. The Republican
members soidly supported the resolu
ton which created surprise, and 1t passed
by unanimous vote. On motion OF
Mr. Schmuck, Democrat, the resolution
was reconsidered and by party vote
laid on the table,
Representative Stubblefield, Repub.
lican, then introduced q resolution that
q committee of five wait upon the au.
ditor and ascertain whether or not Hon
Green Smith, Democrat, presiding oili-
Ger Of the Senate last session, had not
overdrawn his salary account. This was
defeated by party vote.
Both parties nominated candidates for
State Librarian. The Democrats nomi-
mated Jacob =. Dunn of 1ndianapol s, the
historian of Indiana. The Republicans
nominated Mrs. Virginia G.. Meredith of
Cambridge City, Wayne County.

Promise of a Great Cotton crop. .

The Charleston Is. C,) Ne,os and Courier
says editorially that day by day the cotton
crop OF 1SSS'S9 assumes more generous pro-
portions and there are few who now dispute
the fact THAT 1t will be the largest crop ever
of the most fruitful sections the pckers are
still actively at work In the field. The result
of the prolongation Of the picking season over
the vast area of the cotton belt must be an adj
dltion to the yield, which is as gratifying as It
was unexpected 1t seems not extraYagant to
hope, with the present outlook, the crop will
approximate II 1t does not reach the magnif-
cent total of 7,500,O 900 bales.

A HALE CENrrRY IN PRISON.
Discharged after Fity Years Penal Ser

Discharged After Finy Years Penal Ser
vitude.
A dispatch from Auburn, N. Y, says:
william Pierce, who WAS probably the
oldest convict in the State in continuous
penal servtude, was discharged Monday
from the State Asylum for Insane Grim
inals, but was not given his freedom.
He has lived nearly 80 years behind the
prison bars In this city for the murder Of
his father. He was sentenced to life i'm
prisonmcnt in Auburn at Malone Frank.
lin County, August 10, 1899, and from
that time until Monday morning had
not been outside the prison walls except
when transferred to the asylum.
Few of those who could tell the tale
of the murder Of Farmer Pierce by his
boy are alive to-day and all remembrance
OF the deed has loug since been cffaced
from the murdercr's memory. The par
don which Governor Hill signed has no
significance TO the demented man. The
records of the prison show that William
Pierce was sentenced to Auburn for life
on August 10, 1889, when he was l6
years of age. Monday morning he was
taken by Supervisor Grant to Willard
Asylum for the Chronic Insane. AS he
sat in the bagGage-room, waiting for the
train, he appeared like giant.
He is tall and erect and weighs $40
pounds. His clean shaven cheeks hang
down almost to his shoulders, and his
black eyes were hidden by overhanging
brows. He is a mild-mannered man,
submissive to the orders of the officers.
Much Of his past life is blank. He
manifested much interest in the loco
motive, which was tile first he had ever
seen, and the blank look on his shaggy
face seemed to give way to amazemcnt.
An idea of the time Pierce has spent in
prison is given by the thought that at the
time he came TO the prison the Auburn
branch of the New York Central was not
completed, and the journey from the
scene of his crime in Franklin County
was made in wagons through II wild
country. This was nine years before Au-
burn was incorporated and twenty years
before the insane asylum was completed
and ready for occupants"

BASEBALL LUAU,

Last Saturday evening the men,
bers of the Hawaii Baseball Club
gave luau at'the residence of the
Captain, Mr.. Henry Kaia, Iwilei.
The invited guests included mem
bers of the Kaiulani Baseball Club,
Mr.. Geo. T.. Boardman, umpire, Mr..
John w. Winter, official scorer, n
number of ladies and n representa-
tive of the BULLETIN. The luau
prepared in real Hawaiian style was
held in large hall, and the tables
before the guests sat down looked
very pretty. After ample justice
had been done the many good things
the health of His Majesty the King
was drunk amid much enthusiasm.
Mr.. j. w. Winter proposed the
Hawaii Baseball Club" Calls
from various quarters brought Mr.
F. j. Tesla, the President OF the
Club, to his feet. He replied in a
brief but very fitting manner. Other
toasts were: 0Our host and host
eSs, ''Hawaii Baseball League"
and Hawaii our home and beloved
country" Social conversation and
music followed, the evening being
spent in the most enjoyable manner.

THE PIANO RECITAL.

Professor G.. Sauvlet, pianist,
arrived from Japan Tuesday, Octo-
Der 1st, and announced piano re-
eital at the Y. NJ. G. A. hall for Sal
turday evening, the 9Th inst. The
programme was published in Fri
days BULLETIN. The recital came
off as announced, the professor hav-
ing the assistance of Miss F. j.
Nolte. At eight O'Clock, the hour
for commencing the recital there
were only twenty-one persons pre-
sent. Three others dropped in later
on. 1t is impossible to account for
such slim attendance, as there
were no other attractions and Prof.
Sauvlet came with recommendations
of the highest order. 1t may have
been that the charges for admission,
81 and $1.25, were too high. Ger
tainly, larger audience should
have greeted the professor, for he is
pianist of much ability. One
drawback was that the piano seem
ed too loud, but this may be ac-
counted for by the empty appear
ance of the hall. Those who were
fortunate enough to be present had
most enjoyable treat, and it is
to be hoped the professor will give
another recital ere long. We might
suggest to him here that il he does
the admission fee should be lowered.
1t is the intention of Prof. Sauvlet
to locate in Honolulu as a teacher
Of the voice, piano, violin, violon-
cello, double bass, alto, etc. He
has brought with him number of
very fattering testimonials from
Japan.
The recital opened with fanta-
STA from Traviata, brilliantly played
by the professor. His technique is
excellent, and he possesses a finish
ed style and infused considerable
warmth into his numbers. A ga
Vote of his own composition show
ed originality and was charmingly
played. During the evening the
professor rendered ten numbers, all
Of which proved him a pianist of the
highest ability. Applause followed
each number.
Miss f. j. Nolte gave two songs,
venetian Boat Song" and "Night-
ingale's Trill" with much taste and
was loudly applauded. Bandmaster
Berger played the accompaniment.

THE PUNCAB0WL HILL ROAD.

The other day \ representative of
the BULLETIN made q carriage trip
over the Punchbowl hill road, and
was highly pleased with the drive,
the road, and the views presented
TO vision. The road asccnds from
two sides, uniting at the top, one
ascension beginning at the Makiki
cemetery, and the other on Punch
bowl street, near the Mormon
church. Naturally, to make the
most Of the drive, people will ordin-
arily go up one way and down the
other. The road makes circuit of
the crater at the top Of the hill. 1t
also goes clear around the summit
on which the saluting battery was
formerly placed. Near its highest
elevation is n carriage stand, with
hitching posts. The steepest grade
is comparatively easy, allowing one
horse with moderate load to as
cend without difficulty, The road
is not macadamized, but Is covered
with black sand instead. 1t is
scarcely necessary to add that the
atmosphere through which the
Punchbowl road passes is invigor-
ating and the scenery opened TO
view enchanting.
Mr.. John Sullivan, proprietor of
the Fashion Stables, who keeps good
horses, and carriages to correspond,
drove party of four gentlemen
to the top of Punchbowl on
Friday. John is Immensely de-
lighted with the road and the beauti-
ful sights it reveals to view, and
talks "Punchbowl" to everybody.
1t WAS his powerful cloquence that
prevailed upon the party to go on
Friday. Johns pair of sleek bays
went the whole distance from Mer-
chant street and back at gentle
trot, without distressing themselves,
80 easy is the grade. The party,
some Of whom had never been over
the road before, expressed their
pleasure and satisfaction interms OF
glowing enthusiasm. The engineer
ing skill manifest in the laying out
Of the road, the excellence OF the
roadbed, The richness of the soil,
and the magnifcence of the chang
ing view, all attracted admiring no
tice. The trip, including Il halt of
a few minutes at the summit, oc-
cupied about one hour.
