The Peninsula of
Pearl City!

This truly enchanting location for SUBJ
urban homes must be seen to be appre-
ciated; lovely grove of algeroba trees
covers the entire grounds, streets 80 feet
IN width are laid out, and 6-inch pipes
are being laid to conduct water from a
lO-inch artesian well which is pro-
nounced by McCandless Bros. to flow
the sweetest water of all the wells thew
have bored on this island. The Railway
90. have constructed two reservoirs with
a storage capacity of over two million
gallons, and built flume 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
100000 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.

A block containing an area OF five
acres has been reserved for a 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

Pearl City is situated about halfway
between the extreme eastern and west

end OF Pearl City Peninsula points to
the entrance OF the harbor, land is destined
some day (not so remote as some people
may think to be the great commercial
emporium of the Pacific. The Pearl

We ARE compelled to chronicle a
second serious accident happening
in connection with the watering
car of the Tramway Company.
Yesterday the Japanese driver fell
from his seat, and the accident has
cost him his leg, and may yet cost
him his life. Something over year
ago, this deadly cart killed native
boy. The accident yesterday hap
pened simply because this car is
unsafe. It is so constructed that the
driver cannot brace himself prop
erly, and his seat is necessarily in
secure. The man who succeeds the
unfortunate subject of yesterdays
accident, may follow him to the
hospital before the week is out.
The Tramways Company should
be made to respond heavily in dam
ages for what occurred yesterday.
The public and the Press have
grown weary of complaining of the
intolerable condition of the COM
pany's tracks all over the city, and
they have ceased to expect that
there will ever be any change for
the better. But it is only reason
able to suppose that bare self-inter-
est will lead company to make
reasonable provision for the Sc
curity of It's own employees, no mat
ter what it's contempt for the gen.
eral safety.

THE EUROPEAN FAMINE.

A few facts regarding the har
vests of almost all Europe may b.
quoted to show that the worst
hitherto reported does not err or
the side of exaggeration. The fol-
lowing extract shows how the
north of Europe, other than Russia,
has suffered:
FAILURE OF CEREAL CROPS IN THE NORTH
OF EUROPE.
LONDON, September 14.-It is authori-
tatlvely stated in the north of Europe
that the harvest prospects are deplor-
able; that bread has already gone up 80
per cent, and that famine prices are
feared Tor the winter. In Central Sweden
the result OF the constant rain has been
to lay some of the lower valleys for some
weeks under water. In Denmark the
condition OF things is no better, and in
both countries the wheat crop is reported
to be entirely destroyed. The agricul-
tural losses in Denmark are estimated at
$15, 900 900, and as one-half the cult
waited area in Sweden is under water, the
loss there can hardly be less.
Of Russia itself, the condition Of
the crops, as stated in the follow
ing, is only too frequently reported.
Scenes such as these are becoming
too familiar throughout large dis
tricts

vince OF Orel bands of peasants are row.
ing over the highways attacking conveys
OF grain and food, even where the con-
Voys are escorted by soldiers Fights are
OF frequent occurrence and many persons
have been killed. Crime is rampant
owing to the desire to escape starvation
by imprisonment. The jails are crowded
with prisoners.
VIENNA, Sept. 16.-Alarming accounts
OF brigandage, growing out of famine,
come from South Russia Murders and
outrages are of daily occurrence. Bands
OF starving peasants haunt the roads and
forests IN the Caucasus, lying in wait for
travellers and resorting to pillage and
murder. In many villages of the State
complete anarchy prevails. At Elizabeth
pol fifty brigands recently surprised two
houses at midnight and murdered the
twenty-five occupants.
The harvest in England has been
retarded and reduced both in GUAM
tity and quality by the storm of
August 25 and 26. The Times,
August 9th, says of Cheshire and
North Wales, "the rain, storm and
gale were the heaviest known for
some years past. The destruction of
the harvest was most deplorable,
and thousands of acres of grain
have been blown fat; great guam
titles of hay have been washed
away. All parts of East Kent
showed that the effects of the gale
were most disastrous. Harvest
prospects are now less favorable
than ever. In Cumberland large
tracts of country are under water"
The agricultural article says :
/" Taking things at their best, the
wheat crop in Great Britain will
hardly reach her average seventy
two million bushels, and even with |
that quantity she must import |
one hundred and forty million
bushels more to feed her own
population"
In Spain, the loss at Consuegra
BY floods is estimated at $4,000, 900,
the whole commune of Aubedu is
submerged and the whole crops of
he flooded districts are destroyed.
It is said to be reasonably sure that
1900 and 1000 persons
nave persisted. Corn, grapes and
;attle are all swept away.

different causes, and frequent
" disease follows its use. The
water here is no exception
not even that taken from arte-
sian wells. If you take a drop
of water and place it under a
powerful microscope you will
see more snakes than an anti
prohibitionist would see after
a prolonged spree. If you
drink ordinary water, fresh
from the taps, you take these
snakes, or whatever they are,
into the stomach, and then
trouble follows: Snakes won't
assimilate with plain every
day food, and the physicians
fee is so much per visit-good
fellows these physicians; it's
their medicines that are I'M
pleasant, and none of us like
to taste of bitter things when
we can get a chance at the
sweets. Now then, to remedy
the trouble bad water has
caused, and prevent disaster
in the future-get a Filter. |
You want the best and wei
have it. Nothing equals a
Gate City Stone Filter to puri-
fy bad water. It's all natural |
stone and nothing to get out
of order. Don't think because
you are drinking artesian
water that there's no bugs in
it. There are and you've got
to filter it to make it pure.
How often do you sweep
your carpets; one, two or three
times a day? The oftener you
sweep the sooner you have to
get new ones. The best of
