The Fourth Street Project.

Eastsider," in Thursdays Tribune,
expresses the plain truth when he de-
clares that T. Fourth street is not
widcned To a reasonable width to ac-
commoda;e the phenomenal growth
OF the city, that some other thorough
fare running crOss-tOwn will have to
be widened to enable it TO become the
main artery for the business that
must find an adequate channel as
surely rs water wears its course to the
sea. 1t Is only question OF time
and very short period at that-when
some street will have to become the
business center east and west, from
which Will radiatc the life currents
that will send vigor and health to the
whole corporate system. 1t only re-
mains now for those mo interested,
the property owners on )urth street,
to decide whether they II accept the
golden opportunity, or spend the re-
mainder OF their days, III ,taphorically
speaking, in kicking themselves vigor-
ons!y aid persistently for their short
sightedness.
1t is folly TO declare that the street
is wide-enough." 1t is the parrot
note OF the old nloss-back who stands
on the street corner and sneers at all
efforts Vi our enterprising citizens to
lift the community from the rut IT has
been running in so many years. 1t is
prompted mainly by envy, that "dog-
in-the-manger" disposition, which adj
mits neither the inclination for effort
nor the desire to let others do what
they will not do themselves. Jealousy
is another attribute of human nature
which fosters opposition. Somebody
owns a suburban lot and wants the
main thoroughiare to pass by his door
yard, and if it don't pass thay way "sixty
feet is wide enough" Others imagine
they have corner ON the business OF
the city and object to others having a
share in it.
Eastsider" says: Already it is
becoming more and more apparent
that the narrow sidewalks OF Fourth
street are inadequate to the rush Of
business and the steadily increasing
stream OF pedestrians. When these
sidewalks are increased to the regula-
ton width of ten feet, the change will
sorely tell on the contracted condition
OF the carriageway itself, with it's
meager forty feet to represent a me-
tropolitan thoroughfare." Very true,
and Public Demand will 60 elsewhere
where a more cordial welcome waits.
The estimated cost of widening the
street has increased within the past
six months fully fifty per cent, but
still, it is safe to say that at present
figures it will be the best paying in
vestment the property owners can
possibly make. Mr.. Whitman the
city surveyor, estimates the value of
the property to be condemned rs fol-
lows:

THE rapid increase OF the wealth,
business and prosperity of the United
States during the past ten years, says
the Boston Manufacturer Gazette, is
simply marvellous. According to the
published figures, the total wealth of
the country is now 71,452 GOO 900
equal to nearly $1,000 per capita.
This is an increase in ten years of
SIS, 600, 100000, or AZ per cent. Eng
lands wealth in 1885 is given at $780,
0OO,OOO,OO0. The average of wealth
per head in England is $l,545, in
Scotland 81 ,215, in Ireland but 1865.
The total wealth OF France is esti-
mated at $36OOOOOOOOO. England
exacts in taxes $40 per head of popu-
lation, while each individual in the
United States pay but $3.50. Amer
ica will produce 7OOOOOO tons of iron
this year, while England's greatest
is 8,5OO,OOO tons.

\ NOVEL suggestion is made to raise !.
money for that wofully neglected
project, the Grant monument. 1t
comes from the Nutmeg State, so pro
life OF ive-ccnt schemes. Lucas
Briggs, business man OF Glasgow,
Conn. is the individual whose in
ventiye genius has been applied 10 the
problem. He has written letters 20
all the Governors OF the Northern
States to secure their aid. and has
laid before them i suggestion that
every man, woman and child OF the
i5 100000 people comprising the pop
ulation Of the Northern States con-
tribute } cents each. This would
Weld total Of - 100000 which would
be all that is necessary Tor the pur-
pose. To collect the money he sug-
gests that an organization be effected
in every school district III the State,
to which contributions should be paid.
1t may seem like picayunish propos-
ition, but it is a popularity which
presagcs success. \ nickel is to most
people the unit OF value and when
weighed with the patriotic impulse
which should accompany such gilt
will invariably fall in the slot of love
and devotion for the gallant warrior
who reposcs at Riverside without n
shaft to commemorate his fame.
TIE Rocky Mountain Telegraph Co.
have appealed to the U. S. court at
Butte City, Montana, for an injnnc-
ton restraining the Northern Pacific
railroad people from destroying its
poles erected along the railroad. The
Rocky Mountain company is extend
ing its line to Missoula. The new
line follows the railroad through the
canyon between Bear Mouth and
Missoula, and there the Northern Pa
cifc dug up ten miles OF poles, assum-
ing that the telegraph company was
encroaching on its right of way. The
telegraph company sent Deputy
United States Mineral Land Surveyor
Ray, over the ground and had it sur
veyed and plated. The injunction
will be granted and the opposition
line will be completed to Missoula and
thence to Spokane Falls, where the
Rocky Mountain line will make its
second connecting point with the Pos
tai Cable Telegraph system.

Rep. Lucas said that the House would

KAPI0LANI PARK.

A report has lately been issued
by Mr.. w. M. Giffard, Secretary of
the Kapiolani Park Association,
relative to the progress made in
improving the park and the neces-
sites for the future. This fine
place of resort is in one sense q
Government work, and should be
under the guardianship of the Leg.
lslature, which alone can provide
for its Improvement from year to
year, and which it is hoped will do
so on a liberal basis. The report
says that if the funds can be OBJ
tanned, it is the purpose of the
management to beautify this
charming spot by making new
avenues and affording additional
attractions for the public.
Amongst tho latter might also
be mentioned the building of an
aviary and the Importation of
birds, ETC., for stocking same; the
stocking of the ponds and bitches
with varieties of fish; also the con-
struction ola pond for waterfowl
and web-footed birds, of which lat
ter there are now two or three
varieties which have already been
imported. The building of grot-
toes and rustic seats, ETC., distri-
buted over the park and it's envi-
rons would also assist in making
this place additionally attractive to
the public"
" Efforts were recently made
by the executive to secure Diamond
Head as a portion of the park
property, and by planting it's slopes
with Algaroba trees (Which thrive
we'll iu that locality and construct
ing a bride path to its summit, it
could be made an additional attrac-
ton to the park property. Dia-
mond Head is at present owned by
the Government, and as will be
seen by the survey, the property
consists simply of the promontory
itself and includes but little, if any,
of the plain at its base; it conse-
quently has little or no value for
either agricultural or pasturage
purpose. By excluding the cattle
and goats which now run over it,
destroying what little vegetation
there is, groves of AIgarobas might
be started and this world wide land
mark would become an attraction
instead of the barren and desolate

Afternoon Session.

The House re-assembled at :35.
Noble Muller-The discussion is a
waste of time, and largely animated by
personal spite. He moved the previous
question. Carried.
The motion to receive the report and
lay it on the table was carried.
Minister Spencer states that the report
of engineer on the Honolulu bar was
printed. Ordered distributed.
Noble Crabbe for the committee on the
passport scandal, reported that there
was no evidence to implicate any of the
clerks who were discharged and that
therefore their removal was unjust and
in order to remove the suspicious under
which their discharge placed them the
committee suggest that the Legislature
indorse their report.
Rep. Brown would like to know
something more. Did the committee
make any investigations at the Custom
House? 1t is very certain that the pass
ports were taken from the Custom
House. Did the committee examine the
persons having the passports in charge
do not wish to reflect on the commit
tee, but should like to know something
more. | don't think the committee has
done it's duty. | should like to be one of
those who by vote of the House will
wipe out the stain on their names. L
wish the committee would do a little
more, and do what the Opium Commit
tee has failed to do, bring the thing
home. The resolution, someone tells
me, was not to investigate the passport
scandal bat merely the cause OF dismissal
of the clerks. In that case | Withdraw
my motion.
Noble Crabbe-I just learned that
there is some fresh evidence, and would
like to Withdraw my report.
Noble Horner reads by title an Act to
reorganize the Hawaiian Postal Savings
Bank.
Rep. Nawahi-Whereas the road from
Pahala to the Volcano was built by Peter
Lee, and it is proper that it should be
devoted to public use, resolved, that
$4,000 be inserted in the Appropriation
Bill to purchase the same.
Rep. kapaehaole moved the resolution
be referred to the same committee as the
petition on the subject.
Noble Muller-Resolved that the sum
of 1920 be inserted in Appropriation Bill
to refund taxes paid twice in 1889 to
Heeia Agricultural Company. Referred
to Minister of Finance.
Rep. Rickard-Whereas sum OF $500
was appropriated in 1888 for bridge in
kohala. and said sum is insufficient, re-
solved that $500 be inserted in Approp-
ration Bill to complete the same. Laid
on the table TO he considered with APP
preparation Bill.
Noble w. Y. Horner - Whereas the
House has been sitting two months, re-
solved that the House hold three even
ing sessions per week-Monday, We'd
nesday and Friday evenings.
Noble Baldwin, like the spirit OF
this resolution We want to work, and
work faster, but think most OF the bills
are in the hands of committees, and they

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

Timely Dietetic Suggestions-Vhat to Do
when Fruit Stones Arc Swallowed.
As rule, fruit dessert in the evening
and after mixed meal ought only to be
lightly INDUCED in, for, says a writer in
Food, the average stomach will but rarely
tolerate heavy influx of such cold and
usually watery aliment as fruit. This
is not the case if the fruit is eaten before
or between the meal courses. A ripe melon
eaten with salt or butter before or imme-
diately after the soup can be freely INDUCED
in. Experience teaches us that stewed or
raw fruit may be largely taken between
the courses. In many parts of the CONT
nent this custom prevails. The Germans
eat stewed fruit with many meats, and in
warmer chimes such fruits as grapes, plUms,
figs, melons and sweet lemons are habitu-
ally eaten with all kinds of dishes, or as
palate refreshers between the courses.
This is the season when the accidental
swallowing of large fruit seeds often
occurs, sometimes causing not only con-
siderable inconvenience and suffering, but
even occasionally resulting in death. A
handy remedy, which is sanctioned by
medical authority, is to be found in pota-
toes thoroughly cooked and eaten in large
quantities, no other food being taken for
several days. 1t is said that the properties
of the potatoes are such that while eX-
banding the stomach and intestines they
also cause them to relax to such degree
that any heavy article or obstruction is
readily passed through with the mass.
Many people are under the impression
that cucumber is very indigestible, and
when they eat it they do SO under protest,
and with apprehensions of possibly dire
consequences. How this delusion can have
arisen The London Hospital thinks it diff
ficult to say, unless it be that cucumber is
often eaten with salmon and other indi-
gestible table friends. 1t is not the cucum-
Der, however, but the salmon that sits so
heavily upon our stomach's throne. Gu
cumber, according to this authority, is in
fact very digestible when eaten properly.
It cannot, indeed, be otherwise when it is
remembered that it consists mainly of wa
ter, and that those parts which are not
water are almost exclusively cells of very
rapid growth. In eating cucumber it is
well to cut it into thin slices, and to masti-
cate them thoroughly. Even the vinegar
and the pepper that are so often added to
it are of service to the digestion if not
taken in excess.

One of the most beautiful ceremonies in
the Masonic sphere in Mexico is the bap-
tism of children 1t is carried out with a
splendor and solemnity that cannot but
impress greatly even lay people who ara
admitted on such occasions. These bap-
tisms are quite frequent occurrences, and
furnish better evidence than anything else
of the decrease of power of priests, monks
and Jesuits. They were solemnized for the
first time about fourteen years ago.

Hereditary Tuft of White Hair.

Apropos of the tuft of white hair which
the famous Londoner, Mr.. Whistler, bears,
The British Medical Journal draws atten-
ton to a remarkable example of similar
popularity, published in French journal.
In an old Limousin family nearly all the
members, both male and female, have from
their earliest youth a tuft of perfectly
white hair, such as adorns the head of the
well known London artist. This tuft is
generally situated over the brow, but some
times it is on the temple, and more rarely
at the back of the head. The family has
been famous for this distinctive mark in its
own part of the country for three hundred
years, and 1t is said to be as proud of it as
Redgauntlet was of the hereditary horse
shoe vein on his forehead. The white lock,
which can be seen in the family portraits
