CLEANING KID GLOVES.

When plain naphtha or bcnZine is
used the odor clings to tho gloves Il long
time. Here is fluid that will easily
clean the gloves. and when they are OK
posed to the air for short time the odor
passes away: Put into three pint bottle

TO clean the gloves, put them on the
hands. and, wctting IL piece Of clean
white cloth or a small sponge with the

hing quite hard in the parts most soilcd.
Take another clean piece Of cloth and
rub the gloves until they are perfectly

the gloves off the hands. and hang them

This fluid gives the gloves Il lighter

have been properly done, and it also re-
moves the odor sometimes caused by per-

Another method of cleaning kid
gloves is To use naphtha, pouring it into

hands. and dip one hand at a time in the
saucer, wctting the glove thoroughly,
then rub it quickly with soft, dry
cloth. Tho rubbing must be done very
quickly. or the glove will look strcalcd

rubbing, wet corner of the cloth and

In using such volatile articles as naptha,

himself very crcditably. His new friend

Court. There were seven Demo
Gratis and eight Republicans on this
Commission. Five of them be-
longed to body trained to the
consideration of all questions in a
judicial spirit-ali of the fifteen

Now, with all the Difference pos
sible to our present Finance Com
mittee, we cannot help thinking
that if this Electoral Commission
could not free itself from party pre-
possessions, our committee Is just
as little likely to do so. Yet if this
standpoint is a correct One-and
we confess to thinking 1t sober, OBJ
vious and such as any reasonable
man would naturally take-what
becomes Of the vast labors Of the

months pouring water into q sieve.
We have purposely abstained
from making any allusion to the de-
tails Of this report. Possibly 1t

later. Certainly they present an
inviting field for comment, and we
shall be in no want of matter; but
enough has already been said to
show why we think ourselves or
any honest man entitled to dismiss
the report, if we so choose, without
any attention whatever.
In the meantime, the House is
going to consider the report,

The thorns are nearly two inches
long. and the plant becomes stout

In this connection let me note
another impending evil. The new
road from Hilo towards the VoIca-
CO is without question the best laid
out and the best built on the
islands, for large part of its
course ii extends through a beau
tiful forest, where better than else
where, the visitor can see our fine
vegetation-ohias wreathed with
ie-ie, lauhala and tree-ferns. All
this charm is passing away under
the ruthless attacks of the Chinese
gatherer of firewood, which the fine
road enables him to bring very
easily TO market, and in a few
years the Volcano road will be
stripped of its attractions. Let the
Legislature, in granting money for
the completion of the road, stipu-
late that trees and ferns shall be
undisturbed for hundred feet on
either side of the roadway, and it
will earn the gratitude of many q
traveller in the future.

That Constitutional Convention.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t is claimed by
those who want to pass a law to
call a convention Of forty-eight
delegates to make q new Constitu-
ton for the Hawaiian Kingdom
that such movement is not revolu-
tionary, because there is nothing in
the Constitution prohibiting the
Legislature from making a law for
such purpose. This proposition is
based upon silence of the Constitu-
ton in this respect; hence the
power contended for must be an
implied power. This doctrine is a
political heresy, destructive and
subversive of the spirit and letter
Of our Constitution. Let me state
a principle just as good as the one
claimed by the people for the new
invention. There is nothing IN the
Constitution prohibiting the Legis-
lature from making a law to con-
yene delegates into a convention
Tor the purpose of declaring that
the sovereign de facto is insane
and thereby to elect a new sove-
reign for the Hawaiian kingdom to
act in place Of the sovereign who is
insane, until his death, then the
crown shall descend to the Princess
Regent; therefore, the Legislature
can make a law for that purpose,
because the Constitution is silent
in this respect, and such movement
IS not revolutionary. How is that
principle for the future of Hawaii |
nei? ]. II. PoEPoE.

THE REPORT OF The FINANCE CON-

lFr0m P. C. Advertiser, Sept. -

ltron ?. c. Advertiser, Sept. I.
The report Of the Finance Com
mittee after s delay of about three
months was brought into the
House s week or two since. Our
intended review Of 1t has contlnu-
ally given place TO more important
matters The House seems to have
taken the same view of the relative
Importance Of the report, for up TO
the date Of this writing no action
has been taken upon it by the
House, beyond fixing Thursday
(tO-day) for It's consideration.
Il the House can find anything in
this report worth considering. we
shall never be able to admire its
sentences enough. We ourselves
must freely confess to an inability to
discover anything Of the sort,and do
not hesitate 70 pronounce the docu-
ment Is something Of which no one
Of either party Is bound to take the
least notice. Our reason for this
sweeping judgment is briefly this:
The report contains simply the
Official investigation Of the acts Of
one political party by another.
The result Of this investigation is.

The Cashew Tree.

Mr.. EDITOR: The "Cashew" tree
is not new at these islands. 1t has
grown on Kauai for more than
twenty years. Its value as an
edible fruit is small, but the
'' Cashew nut" as the seed is
called, has some use in medical
preparations. The taste of the fruit
Is very astringent, so much so that
few people can eat it. But it looks
very handsome, yellow and pear
shaped, with its kidney shaped
seed at the lower end as handle
by which to hold the fruit while
sucking its juice.

Some years ago prominent railroad
builder Of Warsaw, Poland, expert
enced one of the most remarkable
marrow. escapes" on record. He was
employing several thousand laborers
along the line Of railway then under
construction, and as there were few
banks in the provincial towns Of PO-
land in those days, he was compelled
to carry with him large sums Of money
from headquarters on his regular trips
to pay off his hands. He usually
drew the amount he needed from the
Bank of Poland on the day before his
departure, keeping the money over
night in his own safe, which he con-
sidered a perfectly secure depository
for these funds, as the art of safe
cracking was not yet very exclusively
known at that time.
One afternoon, as he was engaged
IN counting and arranging the money
he had just drawn from the bank,
some one called him into the outer
Office on. some urgent business. Mr..
- threw newspaper on the bank
notes which he had spread out on his
safe, and stepped out, expecting to be
back directly. On his return a few
minutes later he very carefully locked
his safe and went home
When he entered his Office about six
o'clock the next morning to get the
money from the safe. he was terror
stricken on finding that the safe had
been broken open and its valuable
contents were missing. Detectives
were called at once. but when they ar
rived and started to make a careful
survey Of the premises they found all
the money lying intact on the safe,
still covered with the newspaper which
the contractor had thrown over it the
day before. He had forgotten to put
the money into the safe before locking
the latter, md the burglars never
thought of looking anywhere else for
valuabIes, but took the few hundred
rubles they found in the safe and de-
parted. His fOrgetfuIness saved the
contractor about eighty thousand

AN interesting decision has been rem,
dered by the Supreme Court of West
Virginia. Four men were fined by the
Circuit Court for betting on an election
afterit was over. An appeal was taken on
the ground that the meaningof the law
against betting on eIectiuos was ment
to preserve the purity Of the ballot and,
as a bet made after election could
not affect a vote, it was, therefore, not
an ofense. Both courts held that the
law rested on the same ground as that
upon other betting or gaming. The
parties were fined $50 each and each
forfeited the amount wagered by him
beside paying the costs.

A FARMER, not less than sixty-fve,.
entered the Office of one Of our cotton
mills the other day and asked the
general agent for a job at bookkeeping,
says the Lewiston Journal He said
he'd farmed it from a boy up and that
he had decided to try something easier
the rest of his days. He said, too, tkat
he had not been educated in keeping
books, but he was confident he could
do it. The agent who tells of the inci-
dent says he heard the old gentle
mans story and kindly told him that
he saw no vacancy then, but that he
would remember him.
