THE DAILY

THERE is class growing up in
this city, known abroad as "scav-
engers," but which has not been
known here till within the past few
years. They are mostly boys of from
six to fifteen years of age, who scour
the streets of the town, and the
wharves along the harbor front, in
search Of whatever plumber they
can lay their hands on. They may
be recognized by carrying bags,
when empty under the arm, when
full on the back or head. They do
not hesitate to take a loose picket
or board from the fence or any
loose lumber from the wharf. Only
the other day, two boys were seen
tearing off a broken plank from
one of the wharves, in broad day
light. Two others were driven
from private premises on King
street, where they had picked their
bags full from the loose stuff lying
about a house IN course of cree
ton. Such tramps are common
nuisances, and should be arrested
by the police and taken in custody.

4 New Fire Engine.

The ". 6. Irwin brought down
large fire extinguisher for the Fire
Department. It was unpacked and
set up yesterday at the Bell Tower.
The engine is the work of the Fire
Extinguisher Manufacturing Co. of
Chicago, and cost, landed here, about
S3000 It has two tanks each with
capacity of eighty gallons. 1t takes
twenty minutes to empty each tank.
There is "a cylindrical container con
nected with each tank which is filed
with bi carbonate Of soda and sui
phuric acid This goes into the
water, and when the latter is thrown
on to the fire, carbonlc acid gas is
developed which extinguishes the
flames. The chemicals have not yet
arrived, but are expected by the
Australia on Tuesday. AS soon as
they are received an experiment with
the engine will be made.

AN INDEPENDENT OFFICE-HOLDER.

1t is rarely that such consplcu-
Gus instance is afforded Of an office
hol'ier having the independence to
resign d position of high honor and
great trust, because he is not per-
mitted to appoint his subOrdinates,
as has recently been shown in the
case of the collector of the port of

ton, he says:

CHINESE PROSPECTS.

The recent disturbances through
out large districts in China are
known to have their origin far
below the superficial causes of dis
satisfaction to which they are
sometimes accredited.
The outbursts of popular fury
directed against European and
American missionary stations, is
merely q local symptom, not the
disease. The truth is that even in
the districts where the mission
aries have been assaulted and the
mission stations destroyed, the ma
tives know little and care less
about the missionaries, as such, the
head and front of their offending
is that they are foreigners, outer

Supreme Court.
FRIDAY, Sept. II

FRIDAY, Sept. II.
chief Justice Judd has sustained the
defendants plea in abatement in the
action OF eiectment, and for damages,
the Hau allan Commercial and Sugar
Co. Both plaintiff and defendant are cor
porations, the stock of the plaintiff cor
porat;on being owned half by G. w. Mac
farane and half by Claus SpreckeIs. The
action was authorized and brought in the
name of the Waikapu Sugar Co. by w. Ii.
c., its president. T:ie defendant pleaded
that the action was not properly author
lied land claimed that the president ought
to have been authorized by a vote of the
stockholders to bring the action.
The plaintiffs counsel showed that no
vote could have bee had, that, in other
words, there was deadlock, and claimed
that the president, by virtue of his i'm
piled power and OF general usage, could
authorize and bring the action. The
court held otherwise, and ruled that, I'M
less by vote of stockholders, the action
could not be brought, and sustained the
plea in abatement.
Upon inquiry of counsel for plaintiff as
to the course they would nov follow, our
reporter was informed that under such
circumstances Mr.. George Macfarlane,
the stakeholder who claimed to be
aggrieved, could apply to the court by
bill in equity for leav to bring the action
in the corporate name of the Wakapu
Sugar Co., ii he wished his rights to be
considered by jury.
But, as counsel said, the interest OF Mr..
Macfaflane may perhaps ae well BIZ set
tied in the suit in equity which is just
brought by the Hawaiian Commercial
and Sugar Go. vs.. The Waik4pu Sugar
Go. The question then is whethef any
authority can be got from the Waikapu
Sugar Co. to defend that suit.

Carrier Dove Experiment.

Mr.. G. P. Wilder, of Kahului,
Maui, left two carrier doves during
the week at Lahaina, with instruc

Ga Friday morning, Mr.. Simmer
son wrote two notes, and after at
tachiDg them to the birds liberated
them. The carrier doves then i'm
mediately few away, directing their
course for Kahului. An immense
number of people witnessed this
novel way of sending messages.
NAws of the safe receipt of the notes
will be learned by the Likelike to-

A FINISHED PRAYER.
As 1t Closed ON Earth It's Echo

The doctor said this was the turnln!
point OF the disease, and there wa
nothing to do but to wait-wait, writes
Mrs. M. L. Rayne in the Detroit Free
Press.
The boy slept and his father kept hi:
eyes fixed upon the thin, wasted fea
lures, and watched for what he hopeC
would prove a new lease of life. The
mother had gone to lie down and rest
| The nurse sat near and dozed. At last
the sick child suddenly opened his large
bright eyes and said in a clear voice:
Papa"
What, dear boy?" answered the
father, softly.
LIS it near morning."
Yes, dear boy"
" And will be we'll in the morning?'
II hope So" sobbed the poor
father family.
There was long silence, then the sick
child moved restlessly on his pillows.

INJURED.
The father beckoned to the nurse and
she brought the mother, who stole softly
IN and knelt on the other side of the bed.
8 Lift me up" said the diving child in
a full, clear voice; hold me, papa,
while l say my prayers"
He clasped his hands together and re-
peated like one who was dreaming:
"Our-Father-wh art in heaven
hallowed y be - thy name--thy king
dom-come-thy kingdom-come-"
Papa, / can't remember [ can't re-
member!
" No matter, my dear boy, you can
finish it in the morning."
Again he lay among the pillows like a
pale lily and his eyes were open wide.
l can't see you, papa" he MUIR
INJURED. Will it soon be morning?"
q" Yes, dear boy"
= And will be well them"
The poor father could not answer. No
one spoke, and faint light stole into
the room that drowned the Pickering
rays OF the night-lamp and shone rosy on
the wall. Then suddenly little voice
hlled the room. 1t was so sweet and
clear that it sounded like a strain of
music from celestial spheres. 1t was
the dying boy finishing his prayer!
When he came to the last clause he
seemed cropping in doubt.
Forever and ever-forever and
ever" and with the words on his lips
ne drifted off to sleep again.
The rising sun shone into the room
ana lighted up its dim obscurity 1t lay
IN golden bars on the white pillows, and
touched the little face with a hooking
glow OF health and strength. Perhaps
it wakened him, but in the valley OF the
shadow of death he could not discern,
and with wide-open eyes that saw not,
ne murmured plaintively:
is 1t nearly morning, papa?"
ut is morning now, dear boy"
A smile trembled on the closed Inns.
