A Plain Statement.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your yesterdays issue
an article appears signed Zone of the
Congregation, In which that gentleman
says he was present at my meeting, the
report of which appeared in your Satur-
days issue, and that "made no allusion
to Mr.. Peck's UNCONVENTIONAL connec-
ton, his intended calling in life, or his
being virtually pledged to work for sec
tartan ends"
/ am sorry that gentleman did not
sign his name. There was one intoxi-
Gated person present who had to be
awakened at the close of that meeting,
perhaps that is the individual who wrote
the letter. certainly used the words
quoted in the ADVERTISER, and at the
close of the meeting more than dozen
gentlemen surrounded me, and said that
I must be mistaken in reference to Mr..
Peck serving his "frst year" as travel
ing Methodist preacher; to which l re-
piled that knew the truth of the
mstter-that the Methodist Church has
furnished the man Peck, who is serving
his First year" in connection with that
body, and that it appears there are no
funds in the pockets of the Methodists,
hence the dodge of compelling the people
Of Honolulu to support him by placing

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
l0-lnch artesian well which is pro-
nounced by McCandless Bros. to flow
the sweetest water Of all the wells they
have bored on this island. The Railway
Co. have constructed two reservoirs with
storage capacity of over two million
gallons, and built fume extending 80
miles into Waiawa Valley, which in
years OF ordinary rainfall will supply an
abundance OF pure water for q 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-

from the manufacturers will be placed at

DUTIES PAYABLE ON BOOKS.

One of the latest of our San
Francisco exchanges, the Call, con-
tains the following item relative to
the sending of "books and printed
matter" by mail:
LIABLE To SEIZURE.
DUTIABLE ARTICLES EXCLUDED HENCE
FORTH FROM THE MAILS.
Collector of the Port Phelps received a
ruling yesterday on the Act of 1890 and
Article II of the Universal Postal Con-
vention that will exclude hereafter the
sending Of books and printed matter
through the mails, and bring about the
seizure OF all such now en- route and ar
irving after to-day in the United States
foreign mails.
Since 1884, by the Act approved the
year previous, printed matter and books
could be sent through the mails on the
payment OF the duties required by law.
This ruling reverses that usage COM
pletely. and Deputy Collector Jerome
will seize all dutIable articles hereafter
appearing in the mails.
From this it would appear that
books are hereafter contraband in
the mails sent to the United States
except IN the parcel post mail,
whore dutiable articles go. What
is classed as "printed matter " is
not stated, but probably refers to
maps, charts and such like, which
are not very frequently sent from
this kingdom. On inquiry, we find
that no notice has been received
by the Postmaster General or by
the United States Consul General
regarding this new regulation,
which must tend to greatly restrict
intercourse between foreign coun-
tries and the United States.
By the reciprocity treaty of 1876
all books and printed matter may
be sent from the United States to
Hawaii free of duty; but by some
oversight the same privilege was
not accorded to Hawaiian publica-
tions sent to the United States,
probably because it was thought
by the trainers of the treaty as
privilege not worth asking for.
The next mail may bring further
advices relative to this new regu-
lation.

AGENTS for the
UNITED STATES WATER FILTER

UNITED STATES WATER FILTER.
1t is hardly necessary to direct the
attention of the public to the fact that
pure water is one of the principal agents
in preserving health and insuring per-
feet comfort in household. The germ
of our most malignant diseases can be
traced back to impure water.
The filter works easily, and, like
magic, turns the impurest water into a
perfectly colorless and absolutely pure
liquid.
This apparatus is attached to the or
binary water-pipe and filters rapidly. 1t
is displacing the old slow-working filters
in the United States.

A CORRESPONDENT in Kona, Ha-
wall, publishes tale of grievances
to which the residents of that dis
trict are compelled to submit or
appeal to the Courts for redress.
Although quite lengthy, the article
ID inserted in full, that those who
complain may obtain a hearing.
Sifted down to it's merits and de-
merits, the complaint seems to rest
on the ineffciency of the agents
selected to represent the Govern
ment in that district. The notice
accompanying Mr.. Clark's letter,
and to which he refers, simply
warns the owners of all animals
that if they were found on the
Government land they would be
seized as estrays. But nothing is
said as to whore the public domain
referred to begins or ends, except
that 1t adjoins certain lands of the
late Mr.. Greenwich.

ferred to above:

your sorrow. We're selling
Stoves, and we tell you OF
their good qualities. There
would be no use wasting time
talking of their bad qualities
even if they had any. You
can't find EN- in a Fischer
Range, no matter where you
look for them great bakers,
fuel savers and everything
else that's good. We don t
tell you this because we are
trying to sell ranges its what
people who are using them
tell us. Don't imagine be-
cause they are ranges that
they're as big as all out doors.
They run in sizes from No. 7
to good deal higher.
There's been a run on Bird
Cages since the arrival of the
Belgic. If you happen to get
a good bird, get a good cage.
Those with the wire safety
net in the bottom will prevent
your bird getting away when
you clean the cage. We have
breeding cages as well.
By late advices we learn of
a shipment of Ice Cream
Freezers that will probable
astonish this part Of the world.
One of a new sort that
freezes while you wait, and
you don't have to wait any
longer either. It'll freeze any
thing from a glass of water to
a bottle of hard cider. They
may arrive on the first sailing
vessel, possibly not until the
Australia, but you'll hear of it
when they come.
Another word on refriger-
ators. The one we mentioned
some time ago as having a
compartment for water, is
really a very good style. The
temperature in the box below
the ice is always very low and
the meats and vegetables are
as cold as you want to have
them. Butter kept in one of
these refrigerators keeps hard
as long as you have ice in the
box. We have other style
refrigerators and ice boxes
galore you can get anything
you want in that line if you
come to us.
Honolulu is enjoying a
building boon notwithstand-
ing Mr.. McKinley's efforts to
put down the interests of the
islands. You can't build
houses without lumber. We
don't sell it. You can't put
the lumber together without
nails. We sell 'em. You
can't hang your doors or your
shutters without hinges. We
can accommodate you, and
when you've hung them you'll
want bolts and locks and all |
that sort of thing. We have
an elegant assortment in iron,
brass or bronze, and a few i
In nickel. May be you'll want
a chain bolt for your front
door-an elegant thing to keep
out intruders. When you've
provided yourself with all
these articles come in again
and get your paints, oils and
varnishes.

KOCH'S LYMPH.
The Professor Describes the Com
position of His Remedy.
It Consists of n Glycerine Extract Derived
From the Pure Cultivation OF the
Tubercle BaCilli.

Prof. Koch's report published Thurs
day describing the composition OF his
lymph is comparatively brief. 1t says
the lymph consists OF a glycerine ex-
tract derived from the pure cultivation
of the tuberele bacilli. Prof. Koch says:
Since publishing, two months ago, the
results of my experiments with the new
remedy for tuberculosis, many physi-
clans who received the preparation have
been enabled to become acquainted with
its properties through their own ex-
periments. So far as l have been able
to review the statements published and
communications received by letter, my
indications have been fully and COM
pletely confirmed The general con-
census of opinion is that the remedy
has a specific effect upon the tubercular
tissues, and is, therefore, applicable as
a delicate and sure reagent for dis
covering latent and diagnosing doubt
full tuberculosis processes. Regard
ing the curative effect of the rem
edy, most reports agree that, despite the
comparatively short duration of it's APP
plication, many patients have shown
more or less pronounced improvement.
1t has been affirmed that in not few
cases even cure has been established.
Standing quite by itself is the assertion
that the remedy may not only be dam
gerous in cases which have advanced too
far-a fact which may forthwith be con-
eeded--but also that it actually promotes
the tuberculous process, being there
fore injurious. During the six weeks I
myself had opportunity to bring
together further experiences touch.

ly seen accords with my previous OBJ
servations. There has been nothing to
modify in what before reported. AS
long as it was only question of prov.
ing the accuracy of my indications, it
was needless for any one to know
what the remedy contained or whence
it was derived. On the contrary, sub
sequent testing would necessarily be
more unbiased the less people know of
the remedy itself Now, after sufficient
confrmatory testing, the Importance of
the remedy is proved, my next task is
to extend my study of the remedy be-
yond the field where it has hitherto been
applied, and, if possible, to apply the
principle underlying the discovery to
other diseases.

which position he resigned short
time ago to take one with

rate clerk in their general offices in st.
Paul. The last person who saw young
Lethers alive was DIR. Gurney, at whose
Office he appeared Thursday and asked
for dose of bromide. DR.. Gurney said
that he had administered doses of bro
mide to the deceased on many occasions
before, and thought nothing serious
would result.

A Lad Escapes After Remaining Prls-
oner With the Wanderers For Six Years.
Three months ago boy giving his
age as 10 years made his appearance at
the home of Henry Wiekel, farmer
near Elkhart, Ind, and stated that he
had just escaped from gypsies who
had stolen him from his home six
years before and had kept him pris-
oner ever since. Mr.. Wiekel went to
town and reported the matter to Marshal
Coleman, who questioned the boy and
learned from him that he thought
he had been stolen from Marion,
Ind, and that his fathers name was
Hale. A letter was sent to the post
master at Marion, with instructions to
hand it to some person named Hale, and
in response letter came to Elkhart,
Wednesday from the father of the boy
expressing intense satisfaction over the
recovery of the lost boy and enclosing
money for ticket for him, so the lad
was sent to his home on the first train.
The letter contained no particulars of
the kidnapping of the boy.
