KohoIa Road Matters.


Board is able to defend itself |
against any attacks that are
worthy of notice, but after reading |
the letter signed "Kenelm," in your
issue of the 18th, an outsider may
perhaps be allowed to observe that
as the eastern end of this district,
wherein lies the WaIaohia gulch, is
represented in the Road Board as
we'll as the middle and western
sections, it may be inferred that
there must have been some good
treason for having work done on
other sections of the road rather
than on the gulch complained OF,
and this inference is sustained by
the fact that the said member OF
the Board, with members of his
household and a number of en-
ployees, cross that gulch regularly
on their way to a church other
than the one attended by the
other members of the Board
and referred to by "Kenelm." Also
that the Government physician,
who constitutes another member OF
the Board, and besides been pro-
gressive man, is probably COM
PEELED more than any other man in
the district, to travel over that
gulch night and day On his profess
sional duties, would be only too
glad to have it improved.
It may further be observed that
some of the heaviest work on the
roads has been done on the gulches
IN that eastern portion of the dis
trict, and certainly Board that
has affected such marked and un-
precedented improvements as has
the present during it's term of office
: is entitled at least to freedom from
such absurd charges as "selfish ex.
= travagance," resorting to +" blinds,
and seeing "that plantation in
. which they are interested have
first-class roads," etc., or of being
guided by "sy stem of helping out
. plantations to find labor for their
: men in slack times" when every
one who has the slightest desire tt
state the truth, knows full wei
: that the boot is quite on the Other
leg, and we ought all to be thank
full that there are seasons wher
large gangs of men on some of the
plantations are available to the RoaC
: Board to put through rapidly heavy
jobs of work that would otherwise
extend over an interminable length
of time, interfering with the traffic
Walaohia gulch is a peculiarly
difficult one to cross on a gooc
, grade, and inquiry would doubtless
a elicit the fact that work there haC
: been deferred in part because NJ
= satisfactory grade had been deter
mined, aside from want of funds.
l. There can be no injustice in CIV
8 ing first attention to unfinished
t Jobs and roads that bear heavy
8 traffic, and it is right that peopl'
who render assistance or exhibi
some degree of public spirit in THU
matter should receive attention be
g fore those who want everything
but are unwilling to assist or Civ
n an inch of land without the highes
compensation. But give our RoaC
: Board the funds, and we may res
? assured that as rapidly as POSSIBLE
: the necessary improvements will b.
O pushed forward.

VACCINATION AND LEPROSY.

Mr.. William Tebb, of London,
mas favored US with a copy of a
pamphlet on the above subject, de-
signed to show that in his opinion
leprosy is spread by vaccination.
So far as we can learn, Mr.. Tebb is
not physician, but belongs to that
numerous class of lay practitioners
who think they know more than
the medical fraternity, and put
forth their theories as undeniable
conclusions.
There is really no argument in
his brochure worthy of an answer.
Ii the British vaccinators are silly
enough to practice arm to arm vac
cination they ought to be taken to
task for doing so. In Hawaii nei,
the use of any but bovine virus was
strictly prohibited long ago.
There has undoubtedly been
careless vaccination in Hawaii, but
there is no proof obtainable that it
has had any influence on the
spread of leprosy in these Islands.
The incoming of antiseptic surgery
has wakened Us to many dangers
we once had no fear of; but there
are scores of real dangers which
need pointing out before one takes
mp vaccination. Has any one ever
seen in HAWAII nei case of
leprosy clearly traceable to vaccin-
ation2 One of our physicians
states that he has never seen any
such case, though he has searched
for one, and has theoretical belief
in its possibility. The argument
of the responsibility of vaccination
for the spread of leprosy is no
stronger than the strongest in
stance that can be given of such
relation.
Mr.. Tebb speaks of the removal
of the convict leper Keanu to the
leper settlement at Molokai as ga
punishment ten times more severe
than the death penalty, and in my
(his) opinion entirely unjustifable."
Well, let Mr.. Tebb take the con-
census of opinion of the lepers
themselves at Kalawao on this
point and learn what they would
say. For any man or woman
afflicted with leprosy, there is no
asylum in existence where the
patient receives more humane
Christian care and treatment than
n our now world renowned asy-
lum on Molokai. It is not a penal
settlement, but a home for incur
able invalids, be they old or young.
Hawaiian or foreign born.
Let Mr.. Tebb talk about that of
which he knows something, and
leave the question of vaccination to
men qualified by education, expert
ence, and common sense.

MONDAY, July II.

in your yard
1t needs cutting, and you
haven't made up your MIND
what sort of a lawn mower
you want! We're gong to
tell you.
If the grass is very long, get
a Pennsylvania high grass cut
ter. 1t will work just as well
in short grass as any other,
but the ordinary mower will
NOT do for high grass.
If you manage with that
antiquated affair you've been
using to keep the grass short
but ragged, we advise you to
get one of our Pennsylvania
or "New Easy Lawn Now
ers. Either of them will do
the work and you may not re-
cognize your lawn after its
improved appearance.
When you have cut the
grass nicely you will want
new piece of hose-rubber
hose, mind you, not merely
called rubber. but made of
rubber. We have it. After
that you want a sprinkler that
will throw the water broad
cast and give the best substi-
tute for natural rainfall. The
California" Sprinkler is the
one to do this. We sell them.
Procure the articles we have
mentioned, water your lawn
night and morning and it will
look like a bed of emeralds.
Now is the time to improve
your garden, and we have all
: the tools necessary to help you.
What do you do about spoons
for your after-dinner coffee ?
We have some that will tickle
your fancy, and they're cheaper
; than the cheapest.
You may not know it, but
we have the only genuine
lockwood Pottery for sale on
these islands. For decoration
it is superior to anything of the
kind made. The color gener-
ally is a dark brown, and the
vines and flowers modelled on
the pieces are as delicate as
nature. Some pieces are use
full. Chocolate jugs, smokers
sets, and small pitchers for in
stance. No two pieces alike
when one is made the mould
is destroyed. No danger oil
you neighbor copying your
good taste.
Sllverware is an odd thing
/ tor hardware people to deal in,
but it is customary here and
, we have the best-same as
everything else. Choice bits,
odd designs in smokers sets
and champagne holders and
the best shakers for-lemon-
AIDES we have ever seen. They
answer for something stronger
just as we'll.
Silver ice tongs for the table
are useful and pretty. Some
we received by the last steam
er are rather better than the
last lot, and you're bound to
like them. If you use cracked
ice at table you will find them
more convenient than a spoon
and they look better.
Engraved glass tumblers
are prettier than plain ones
and just as cheap. We have
them in many styles and sizes
and you're hard to please if
We can't suit you. We study

THE ALLEGHENY SCANDAL.

Politics are attaining an exceedingly
lively stage in Allegheny. 1t seems to be
one Of The unpleasant features of the poll
tics of the NOrthside that the development
OF a real active fight must comprise some
exceedingly unpleasant features.
In this case the charge is that an at
tempt was made by friends of candidate
to buy from one of his opponents an over
due note made by the candidate, at 90 per
cent on its face value, the consideration to
purchase in addition the support of the
holder of the note. There seems to he on
both sides an unhattering agreement that
fifty cents on the dollar is full value for
the commercial paper of the candidate: but
III other respects very different story is
tod on the other side 1t is there alleged
thai the offer WAS made simply to retire
the EEpaid note of the candidate without
any attempt TO influence the political
action of the candidates on either side,
but to prevent the use Of the note to i'll
lure the candidacy.
With this dispute as tJ vital details, the
matter will remain undecided, except for
the conclusion that it does not sound par
ticulaTly nice on eitherside. 1t is also per-
tinent to remark that in future candidates
for responsible public positions viii do well
tC effect a compromise on their overdue
debts before the canvass commences.

WHICH, STATEMENT WAS I-NrRIEs

The latest report from Madrid, in the
shape CT cable telegram TO the New York
Herald, states that the reciprocity treaty
which John W. Foster was sent there to
Negotiate failed of approval In its place
a convention was adopted to last until
July Of EeXt year, when Spain will be al
liberty to make terms with the United
States, from which she is now restrained
by the "most favored nation" clause
with others
The convention, according TO this state
ment, admits to the United States free of
duty sugar, honey, cocoa, coffee and skins
from the Spanish West Indies, while coal.
ice, wood, boots and shoes, fresh and salt
meats and butter from the United States
are to be admitted free to the islands.
The duty on -four is reduced from 50 50 to
81 30 per barrel and corn in the same pro-
portion. DrygoOds and machinery get no
advantage from the convention until
Spain is able to free herself from treaties
with Great Britain, France, Germany and
Belgium, which give them as favorable
duties on those staples as any other coun-
try.
This looks like rather one-sided recipro-
city as far as it goes. But it must be re-
membered that everything which we give
in this matter is already on our free list,
while We gain in some important respects,
such as the admission of flour and meats.
But it is somewhat pertinent TO ask whether
the former report that the reciprocity
treaty was agreed upon was bogus, or
whether this statement of its failure is un-
true. There seems to have been some en-
tirely unnecessary Justification on one
side or the other.

PLAYS TO COME.

THE great spectacle "The Last Days of
Pompeii'' will certainly be seen at Recrea-
tion Park beginning some day in July. The
guarantee subscription now amounts to
$l2 500.
"1HE PATROL" is the name of new melo-
drama of u somewhat familiar order to which
we are to be introduced at the Duquesne
Theater next week. 1t is said to be n strong
picture of modern life's seamy side, with q
real patrol wagon, horses, etc., as the central
figure.
ANOTHER new comedy drama of sensa-
tional character, "The Midnight Alarm . is
coming to the Bijou Theater next week.
james w. Harkins, Jr, is the principal actor
rs well as author of the piece. The title of
the play hints at the fire engine, trucks and
real horses that with some realistic scenery
are the plays chief strength presumably.
IT must be honestly confessed that good
many Pittsburgers are curious to know what
sort of a Cleopatra Fanny Davenport will
make, and her engagement at the Grand
that name-which the Bernhardt has also
essayed-is looked forward to with good
deal of interest. Mr.. Mayer, her manager,
promises that the production shall have all
the scenic features that have been so much
talked OF, and the company, in which Mel
bourne McDowellis included, is unquestion-
ably II strong one.

for the organizers of this festival to have
been little more conciliatory to the popu-
lar taste for musical sweetness without
lowering the artistic character of the con-
certs as whole. But when we see the re-
suits on the popular taste of an education
in classical programmes we can hardly
blame the enthusiasts in that line for in
sisting on somewhat rigorous pursuit of
the same policy.
The temporary auditorium furnished by
Mechanical Hall is all that could be ex-
pected under the circumstances But
there are constant reminders that it is
only make-shift, and its use will tend to

THE CHARITIES CONFERENCES.

The Eighteenth Conference of Chari-
ties and Corrections, now in session at In
dianapolis, has large amount of work
mapped out for it The proper care of de-
pendent pauperS and juvenile criminals is
one of thu foremost subjects before the
Sociologist to-day, aud presents to him a
question of great magnitude: Interested
discussion of this subject, such as is now
going on in Indianapolis, will do much
toward awakening public interest in the
matter, drawing, as it must, attention to
the number of persons whose welfare is
under consideration Statistics have in
the past been given in this connection, but
statistics without explanation are, in many
cases, figures wasted. This meeting will,
however, give both facts and reasons, and
will thereby make its objects known.
The fiattering reference to Pennsylvania
made by the President in his speech will
be pleasing to all citizens of the Keystone
State, and particularly to those of this
section, in which one of the finest insti-
tutions in the country for the care of the
insane is situated. That our State should
be particularly mentioned in this con-
nection is a matter Of pride. -
