Registering Under a False Name.

1t is usually mistake to write a
false name on hotel register. A
country merchant was obliged to de-
cline an invitation to a trade conven-
ton in New York last spring. While
the convention was in session he was
suddenly called to the city on pressing
business. He arrived at hotel, and
seeing the register covered with the
names of his friends at the trade con.
vention, he signed false name. The
next day he went out to lunch with his
lawyer. leaving his overcoat at the
latter's office. In the middle Of the
afternoon he telephoned to have his
coat sent to his hotel. The coat was
sent but it took the owner two days to
get it, because the lawyer had put the
mans own name on the box contain
ing the coat There was no such name
on the register, and the box was put
aside to be called for Meanwhile the
falsifer missed telegram from his
wife, received cards from people he
didn't know, and found himself an OBJ
ject of suspicion on the part of the
hotel people. N. Y. Sum-. .g

Unattended and Unknown -
Deaths.

MIR. EDITOR: In your editorial,
Vital Statistics" in Thursday
mornings issue, reference is made,
and not without cause, to the num-
Der of deaths under the heading
"Unknown," and Unattended"
and hoping that these classifcations
may become things of the past be-
fore long. You suggest that I" If
death occur from unknown causes it
is time to call in the Coroner, and his
inquest ought to be able to certify
the cause, i. e., the direct occasion
of death. even though it fail to dis
cover the attendant circumstances"
These two classifcations might
have been things of the past
a long time ago if the Board of
Health had only acted promptly
on the suggestions made from time
to time by it's Agent. More par
ticularly do I refer to the report of
Capt. j. 81. Brown, Agent of the
Board of Health, to that body in
1880, and which was before the
Legislature. In that report it will
show that your suggestions are
only repetition of those made by
Capt. Brown.
1t is not too late for the Board
OF Health to adopt them, the sooner
the better. Let the Unknown
and Unattended" classifications
never appear again in the regular
monthly mortuary report. 1t can
be done, and the Board of Health
is the body to do it. The following
extract is taken from Capt. Browns
report mentioned above:
Fifty eight per cent. of all
deaths of Hawaiians reported are
entirely unattended during sickness
by any qualified physician. This
matter should be Investigated, and
some means adopted whereby
minors at least should not be al
lowed to die, by parents or guard
lans, without proper medical attend
ance. l referred to this matter in
my report to the President of the
Legislature in 1873, but no action
was taken; surely some law might
be passed to prevent this destruc-
ton of life. l have great difficulty
in ascertaining the deaths of Ha-
waiians, and hope the authorities,
by cooperation with our LegisIa-
tive representatives, will obtain the
passage of such laws as are neces.
sary to compel parents and guard
ians to obtain medical attendance
for children, and also make it nee
essary to produce certificate of
the cause of death from the attend
ing physician before a certificate of
burial can be granted, and in case
no physician has attended the de-
ceased person, the certificate of
cause of death issue from the cor
oner." x.

TEMPERATE MILLICNAIRES,

Commenting upon recent Eng
lish review of prominent American
millionaIres, a London journal OBJ
serves that it is more to the point
when the personal habits of these
great and good men are reverently
touched by the writer. "The mass
ing of Millions" he says, teaches
a powerful temperance lesson. Not
one of the self-made millionaires is
a drinking man." John d. Rookie
TELLER never permits strong drink
to pass his lips. A mere sip of
wine for the sake of courtesy is
the extent of the indulgence of
William Waldorf Aston. Jay Gould
has tasted wine not over two or
three times IN his life, and then not
because of a desire for it. The
Vanderbilts are equally abstemious.

drink coffee. His strongest bever-
age, as related, is tea. Russell

THE year 1890 was remarkable
in Japan, says an English paper,
for the first general election to a
Parliament under the new Consti-
tuition. Three hundred represen-
tatives were elected, and it was a
notable fact that among them were
eleven Christians. But a still more
striking thing has now occurred.
In accordance with the Constitu-
ton, the three hundred delegates
met on November 25th to nominate
three of their number, whose
names were to be submitted to the
Emperor, that from among the
three he might appoint the Presi-
dent or Speaker of the House of
Representatives. One of the three
thus chosen was Christian, Mr..
Nakashima. member of the Pres
byterian Church, and he is the one
selected by the Emperor. So the
first President of the first Japanese
Parliament is a Christian.

A HURRICANE

Will not interfere with the regularity of
action of the Aermotor because it is so
constructed that it swings with the wind
no matter how hard it blows. This style
windmill is an innovation on these ISL
ands and plantation men are beginning
TO realize the necessity of them some
day, not far distant We imagine, plan
tation will not be considered complete
without one.
There are many styles of windmills
on the market, some cheap, others high
priced, others again dear at any price
The old-fashioned wooden ones may be
properly classed among the latter. Our
opinion is based on the fact that they are
going out of use on the line OF the Union
Pacific Railway. and, in fact, nearly
every place where wipdmills are used.
In California. where winGmills are as
plentiful as dwelling houses, the ranch
men are taking out their wooden ones,
even though they be in good condition,
that is, not rotten, and replacing them
with AermotOrs We secured the sole
agency for the latter style because We
were convinced of its superiority over
any other manufactured, and because
we were satisfied that it would bring
better results to the purchaser. The
first one set up worked successfully, and
the man who bought it told his neighbor
about it, so we sold another one. That's
the way 1t has been ever since we intro
duced them now the demand for the
Aermotor is so great that we have decid-
ed to keep a few of them in stock. Late
purchasers have been obliged to wait
until we could have their orders filled in
San Francisco, new ones will not. We
could publish other testimonials as to
the practicability of them on these
Islands, but we thing the following will
answer:

1T Is stated that the Bell Tele-
phone monopoly in England will
expire soon, by the lapslng of the
patent. after having had term OF
fourteen years. Cheap telephones
will then exist there as it does now
in Germany, where no patent was
ever given. In the United States,
Bells patent will expire in March,
1892, after term of seventeen
years. A very large reduction in
price will probably follow the ex-
piration of this patent.
