The Peninsula of
Pearl CITY!

This truly enchanting location for sub
| urban homes must be seen to be appre-
GATED; lovely grove of algeroba trees
covers the entire grounds, streets 80 feet
III width are laid out, and 6inch pipes
are being laid to conduct water from
lO-inch artesian we'll which is pro-
nounced by McCandless Bros. to flow
The sweetest water of all the wells thew
have bored on this island. The Railway
20. have constructed two reservoirs with
storage capacity of over two million
gallons, and built fume extending 81
miles into Waiawa Valley, which in
years of ordinary rainfall will supply an
abundance of pure water for a large
population; to guard against such
droughts as we have experienced during
the present year, the Company have or
dered Blake Pump with capacity of
40O,OOO gallons per day, which will be
replaced by one or more of larger capa-
city when needed. This pump now due
from the manufacturers will he placed at
once at the artesian we'll from which
water will be forced into the reservoirs,
when not supplied from the mountains.
A block containing an area o. five
acres has been reserved for Hotel. and
another beautiful lot of the same area is
also reserved for a Public Park, which
the Company propose to make one of the
most delightful and attractive resorts TO
be found anywhere.
This place has all the charms of Wal
XXI, with the addition of an inland sea
seven miles long and four miles wide.
aftording boating and yachting facilities
second to none in the world.
Pearl City is situated about halfway
between the extreme eastern and west
ern points of Pearl Harbor. The makai
end OF Pearl City Peninsula points to
the entrance OF the harbor, and is destined
some day (not SO remote as some people
may think to be the great commercial
emporium of the Pacific. The Pearl
City Branch OF the Company's line ex-
tends down the centre of the Peninsula
within say 1000 feet of the shore on |
either side.

Fire Politics.

Mr.. EDITOR Next to national politics
nothing so much claims the interest and
attention of the public as the approach
ing election of officers to serve the Homo
lulu Fire Department for the next two
years. An institution unrivaled in the
peoples estimation, it has earned the
gratitude, good will and substantial sup
port of everyone, except croakers, !"
and those are never satisfed-unless they
are miserable; and, generally, they are
folks with nothing to lose by fire, water
or anything else.
The ticket of Company No is before
us, and we believe wise, judicious
choice has been made of capable, good
men, with excellent records, acquired
not only in the department but in the
various walks of life they have chosen.
Mr.. Robert More, Foreman of Engine
Company No. l, has held that position
tor no less than eight years, seven of
which years he was elected by acclama-
ton, and when sometimes his position is
glibly styled honorary, let us think of
the foresight, energy, self-denial, and
rlpened experience which goes SO far to
make up the qualities and nerve neces-
sary to such a responsible post. l think
there are none but those specified to
deny that Robert More has "won his
spurs," and is in the line of fair, legiti-
mate, honorable promotion. AS Super
lntendent of the Union Iron Works, and
by reason of his mechanical industry
and special knowledge, he is qualified in
every sense for the office he has been
nominated for, namely, that of Chief
Engineer of the Department.
Mr.. j. w. Mcdonald, the nominated
candidate for first Observation-Disclosures,
was an active member of the late Pacific
Hose Co. for years, being foreman for
about two years, building it up-as he |
hard earnest work, from zero to |
a membership of about one hundred |
and ten, when it was disbanded for |
reasons not necessary to enter into. Mr..
joined Engine Co. No. 2 about
4 year ago, and it was splendid recog-
lition of his merits and abilities as a fire.
man when, on the evening of his cleo
ion, he was also duly elected as assist
INT foreman of the same COM
oany. Like Mr.. More, Mr.. Mcdonald is,
by reason of his occupation, specially
adapted for the work he aspires to.
Next we have Mr.. VIM. Keawe, the
candidate for the position of second as
'istant-engineer, who has been all active
member of Engine Co. No. for years
md now occupies the position of assist
mt foreman of his company. A certain
nodesty, natural to himself, has always
to be sin his way" when
lected to the higher Office of foreman;
till can say without hesitancy that
his plain unassuming man has made
ecord for himself which the Department
nay well be proud of and emphasize by
is election to the position he has been
uly nominated to.
There are other Richmonds in the
cid and no doubt more to hear from,
them more anon; still we believe the :
bove ticket is one which we'll deserves
he title of cosmopolitan and the gener-
Us support of firemen. A FIREMAN.

An Exclamation.

Mr.. EDToR-Dear Sir: Your article
on the census report in this mornings
ADVERTISERS expresses a doubt as to the
meaning of the heading Number Of
Children Surviving" in the table of
maternity statistics. The words in ques-
ton refer to the number surviving at the
time the census was taken. The second
paragraph on page % of the report
makes this matter plain. It reads as
follows:
"Table 8 contains the statistics of
maternity, showing in parallel columns
the number of females of each race and
nationality, the number over Is years of
age, the number married (including
widows and divorced), the number who
have had children, the number of child
rem born, the number NOW surviving and
the percentages"
BY publishing the above you will
much Oblige, Yours truly,
G. T. RODGERS,
Gen1. Supt. of the Census.

OAHU EVANGELICAL ASSO-
CATION,

The pastors and delegates from the
various Hawaiian churches on Oahu as
sembled at Waialua on Wednesday for
their semi-annual meeting. There was
full representation from every church.
Rev. j. Kekahuna, of Waianae, was
chosen moderator, and Rev. J. M. Ezera,
OF EVA, clerk. Reports from the various
churches were read, showing no great
progress in religious life and work, but a
steady and earnest maintenance of
Christian institutions. Rev. s. Kapu.
OF Hauula, has declined a call to Wal
luku. The church at Waikane has called
D. M. Kualii, who graduated in June
from the North Pacific Missionary Insti-
tute. He is to be ordained and installed
on November 8. Another student, who
has not yet completed his studies, is en-
gagged to take charge of the church at
Kaneohe for the current year.
The Sunday schools of Waikane and
Kaneohe united with the Waialua Sun
day school in Sunday school exhibition
Thursday morning. There were over
one hundred children, who sang and re-
cited in fine style, much of the music
being specially adapted and arranged for
this occasion. All who were present
were invited to well spread feast at
noon. The new and commodious church
at Waialua shows to good advantage,
with well-built stone wall surrounding
the lot. Stones had been blasted out
and the surface levelled in striking con-
trast with the adjoining enclosure, IN
which stood for so many years the old
church now demolished. In the graves
in front rest the mortal remains of the
former missionaries at Waialua. Rev. J.
S. Emerson and wife, among the people
to whom they faithfully ministered for
more than half century the gospel
of salvation.
Oahu Sunday schools voted to con-
tribute their share to the purchase of a
whaleboat for Rev. q. S. K. Paaluhi, of
the Gilbert Islands Mission and to the
maintenance of boarding schools in the
Marquesas Islands. The project of esta-
blishing religious periodical was heart
lily endorsed, and the preliminary steps
taken to carry out the plans proposed.
Contributions were asked from the
Churches for the work of the Hawaiian
Board among the Chinese, Portuguese
and Japanese that have come to these
Islands to make their homes here. The |
association adjourned, to meet at Kalihi |
to investigate charges of dereliction of
duty that had been formally made |
against the pastor of that church.
Various instances were mentioned Of |
confusion arising from the number of |
unauthorized persons coming to the |
different churches to solicit contribu-
lions, and the pastors were advised to
ask of such persons some proper approval
from the several island associations. |
One young man was approved as a
student for the n. P. M. Institute.

The Oceanic steamer Australia will
probably arrive this morning with mails
and dates from San Francisco to the 9th
instant. The latest papers received by
sailing vessel bear date September q.
The last mail from San Francisco was
received by the Mariposa, which left
that port on Friday, the 18th of Septem-
Der. Our mail advices will, conse-
quently, be eighteen days later. The
Australia will, therefore. bring a large
mail, and probably a large passenger
list, with heavy freight.

STOLE A SUIT OF CLOTHES.

Wednesday night a young man
named VIM. H. Roby, entered the
room OF another young man named
H. w. Newcomb in East Sedalia and
is alleged to have stolen a suit of
clothes from Newcomb and left town.
He was located in Kansas CITY and
yesterday afternoon Sheriff Ellis r.
Smith and Mr.. Newcomb left for that
place to get Roby and bring him back
to Se,lalia.
Yesterdays Kansas City Morning
Times had the following article about
Roby: "Wm. III. Roby, a young
English b4rytone, who has been with
a number of theatrical troupes in this
country, was arrested by officer Web
Der last night.
The police received telegram from
the chef of police at Sedalis telling
them t, arrest and hold Roby, bu.
giving no reason for it.
To Times reporter Roby said he
didn't know why he was arrested, and
that whatever it was it was a result of
hard drinking in the last few months.
He expressed himself as confident that
his trouble was slight. He arrived
in the city yesterday and was arrested
while leaving the Ninth street theater
where he was spectator"

REV. HARRIS STATEMENT.


The Rev. NJ. c. Harris, well
known Baptist preacher at Clinton,
about whom a good deal has recently
been said and written in reference to his
church trouble in Cooper county, pub
fishes the following personal state
ment in a Windsor paper
"The statement in the Gazette of
February Is, is greatly over drawn.
1t is true, Big Lick church through
her deacons did ask for nv resigna-
ton, but after full and thorough in
vestigation of the matter their request
was withdrawn, AMI [ have MT, as
vet resigned. For truthfulness of
this, refer to the churcn, or to the
officers of the church. Mr.. Gabe
Hale is deacon ofProvidence church
and he always has been, and still re
mains my true and steaAfast fri:nd.
As to giving his daughter whisky, |
am willing for him ant his daughter
to tell the whole truth about it. She
was sick and | permitted her TO drink
it or in other words | told her to take
a drink of it. | have not been asked
by Providence church to resign. Miss
Hale did not ride with me in buggy
nor did any other lady there. 1t was
in Mr.. Halls parlor where the WHISKY
was drank. 1t was not my whisky,
but belonged to another party.

Keep all days as You do Sunday.
joy is wealth. Love is the loyal
tendsr OF the soul.
Keep good company AMI good
company will keep you.
-Tnink no more of swindling your
ueighbor on Monday than you do on
Sunday.
He who bears an insult grace
fully crowns all past efforts of lie
with success.
Riches acquired by dishonest
means should be to all honest men buI
floating clouds.
Economy will make your wealth
and cleanliness will keep your health
Therefore be economical aud clean and
sickness and poverty will be unknown.
Happiness consists in self sacri.
fees and in making some one else
happy. This being so, here is the
place to be happy, and now the
time.
Treat a person who comes to go
licit from you with the same courtesy
that you would if he came to trade
with yon. Responsibility and polite
ness are at premium ia this world.

THE GRUNTERS.

A curious GRO I'd registered at Sich-
er's the other night.
IL Is quite possible that they did not
nest together, but from their names
they should not have been adverse to
such result.
First was Ed Hogg, who is a mean
dering lumber merchant and peddles
lath and such. Ed is very agile
young man and has many friends in
Se@alia.
James Hogg, the architect, of Kan
sas City was Ia town to build styes for
those who are not known to possess
bristles. Nothing bad about him only
hi1 name.
Billy HOgg is the we'll known clerk
in Superintendent Clerks office and
is quite favorite with Sed ala ladies
although there is nothing effeminate
abOuf HIM.
Bill Pigg, the former re ident of Sc
dalia, now Of Kansas City. He's all
right and "stscks up" with the bal.
ance of mankind except his name.
1t is rumored that the hog that oc-
cupies two seats in railway car was
also in the hotel and that Phil Armour
was expected on the next train.
Souse, pigs feet, sausage. heal
cheese, pork chops, jowl, tenderloin,
ham. etc, should have been on the
bill of fare of mine hosts, Sicher &
Conrad, to have carried out the full
program of the grunters-;n name
only.

GONE TO KANSAS CITY.

Lille McHenry and her bevy of
beauties left for Kansas City this
morning, where they play one week
at the Midland. The bald heads OF
Kansas City have been in training
ever since that city's bill-boards were
adorned with the girls pictures IN
scanty apparel. The average bald.
heads of Kansas City want to get
very near the foot lights and with an
opera glass that focuses early and
quickly, he delights in counting the
warts on the limbs encased in flesh
cOlored tights. They can have their
full curiosity satisfied at the Midland
this week.
