NIT Point occurred last Tuesday, at II
O'Clock, high noon, at which time Miss Luz
tie RELY, daughter OF Col. J. j. Rely, was
welded to Mr.. George Nichols, Of Balti-
more, Md. The church, filed to overflow
ing with friends of the bride, was beauti-
fully decorated with cut and ported flowers,
and a number Of wax tapers lighted the
chancel. About midway Of the aisle floral
gates were arranged, through the portals of
which the bridal party swept to the stirring
strains Of the wedding march which was
rendered as only that prince of musicians,
Leo Wheat, can render it. The ushers,
Messrs Baden, of Baltimore, Charles and

Dr. Fred Taylor, Of Loudouu county, pre-
coded the party, followed by the maid of

The Barred Head ct Funerals.

The barred head at funerals is, for l.y-
gienic reasons, becoming q custom of
the past in some localities. An agita-
ton against it was started by Captain
George a. Raabe, a member of many
benevolent societies in San Francisco,
and as result of his labors nearly
every society Of the kind on the Pacific
coast has adopted resolutions to the eff
feet that the members shall keep their
hats on at the graves of their departed
comrades. Grand Army posts in Cali
fornia have followed suit. Societies in
Milwaukee are discussing the same
question. Health Commissioner Win
gate, Of that city, recently made these
sensible remarks on the subject of the
exactions of the modern funeral
Death comes at time very often in a
family when an overworked and nearly
broken down mother or sister or wife,
or perhaps q husband, is nearly if not
completely Frustrated, and whose health
is in a most precariOus condition. Ply
sicians can testify, as no other class in
the community can, to the often serious
results Of funeral as it is conducted
nowadays. a delicate member of the
family, who perhaps has not been out
Of the house for weeks, worn down and
Frustrated by the care and grief Incl
dent to the loss of a dear relative, is sub
jected to long. slow ride in a carriage
on a cold, inclement day. Custom has
had its way; the victim, following the
custom, thinking it duty, returns to
her home, not to go out again till she is
followed over the same road to the last
resting place by perhaps Others who fall
victims after her.
I am comparatively a youns man, and
yet have not fingers enough on which
to count cases of this kind that have
come under my own observation and in
my own experience as a physician, and
have resolved to raise my voice against
this custom whenever and wherever I
may have the opportunity.-Chicago

q Clever Defense.

Sea captains have many adventures,
and the stories of their wonderful es-
capes seldom lose by repetition. Many
years ago pirates cruised up and down
the English channel to the great peril OF
the merchantmen. The story is told of
a Captain Davis, who was noted for his
quick wit as well as for his skill in navi-
cation, that he was returning from Ire
land with cargo consisting mainly Of
butter.
pirate was seen coming down upon him.
In vain all sails were spread; every mo-
ment brought the pirate nearer.
The men were at their wits end, but
the captain knew q trick or two He
ordered his men to take off their boots
and stockings, and directed that a score
of butter barrels be brought on deck.
In few minutes the barrels had been
knocked to pieces, and the butter was
thickly spread all over the deck and out
side the ship. Not a rope nor a spar
that was not slippery. Even without
their boots and stockings the sailors
could scarcely keep on their legs.
On came the pirate, not dreaming how
smoothly he was to be received. Cap
tain Davis assumed an air of submission
and allowed the enemy to come along
side quietly.
But 10! when they jumped over, fully
armed, with pistol in one hand and
sword in the other, they slipped about
and tumbled over each other on the but
tered deck like so many rats.
One fellow shot head foremost down
into the cabin, where he was imme-
diately set upon by the boy; another
slid across the deck and shot out into
the sea by an opposite portfolio.
Not one of them could stand on his
feet, and as pirates are generally super
stitious, an idea seized them that the
ship was possessed of the devil. They
hurried back into their own vessel, cast
loose, and Captain Davis got safely into
port at the expense of a few pounds of
butter.-Youth's Companion.

Let us now see whether the vino
and beer bill would help the country
financially.
The sugar, rice, coffee, banana,
etc, industries develop the natural
resources of the country, and thus
enrich it by exchanging our raw
materials for gold. They also de-
velop thrifty habits and inculcate
honest principles in our population.
Whatever you can say in favor of
these industries, the very opposite
applies to the liquor traffic. Instead
of developing the country, it feeds
off those industries which are doing
so, and weakens their resources; at
the same time, it destroys the morals
and thrifty habits of our people.
In 1891, Hawaii consumed over
100000 gallons, or 100000 pints of
spirits, wines and beers. When that
amount of liquor is retailed, after
the usual authorizations to increase
it's volume and to make it kick"
and at the very high prices charged
for liquors here, it is a modest esti
mate to say that our drink bill last
year QS9I was over S1,OO0,000.
That is not all. The following
table taken from Chief Justice
Judd's report to the Legislature,
shows that nearly 60 per cent. of all
the criminal convictions in the king
dom are due to drink and are crimes
usually committed when men are
drunk

The result would be less taxes,
more business, more public improve
ments, less crime, and better social
aud moral condition of the country,
and the whole cost paid out Of the
money saved from what our popula-
ton spend in drink.
Under this system the company
controlling the liquor business would
have no temptation TO press the sale
of liquors, as they would only get
expenses and 10 per cent. on the
capital; nor would the manager in
charge OF the public house press
drink upon his customer, as he would
receive no profit except on his sale of
food. Being conducted openly, there
would be little temptation to young
people to learn to drink, while those
of our population who 50 desire.
could get a glass of pure wine, beer
or spirits. The result would be here
as in Norway and Sweden, the grad
ual disappearance of drunkenness.
Our Government needs money. All
sorts of doubtful schemes have been
proposed as a solution. The above
plan has the merit of 20 or 80 years
trial in Norway and Sweden and
has proved itself to be in every way
a success. If our Legislators will put
our liquor traffic under the Gothen-
berg System of control the country
will speedily find relief from financial
stress and at the same time the social
and moral condition Of the country
be improved. The company to which
the exclusive right of selling liquor
may be given, can buy the liquors of
the present dealers at a fair price,
the best Of the saloons as places for
carrying on their business, and en-
gage the most respectable of the men
now in the business as managers and
thus, after a short delay, save the
country any expense in the line of
compensation and not embarrass the
present dealers. IL it cannot be
done before another legislature meets

men of the Legislature be appointed

system and report to the next legis

For HaWaii-Revenue and Improve
ment.

A bill to grant licenses to wine and
beer shops is pending in the Legisla
|ture. The promoters Of this bill give
/ as arguments in its favor:
THAT if wine aud beer shops
were introduced less spirits would be
consumed.
2-The revenue of the country
would be increased.
Men honestly differ in their opin-
ions about the liquor traffic. Elk
tremists on either side rarely do
much good. If the moderate men
on both sides of this great question
can meet on common ground, then a
plan may be worked out which will
satisfy the great majority of our
population. With this object in view,
| would like to point out the objec-
tionable features Of this wine and
beer bill, and at the same time sug-
gest, In a general way, a method by
which the country will largely be
saved the great evils of intemperance
and the finances Of the country
greatly aided.
Our present liquor laws are not en-
forced nor are they likely to be;
hence, If wine and beer shops are
opened, however strict the law may
be against the sale of spirits by them
the fact remains that the law will be
practically a dead letter, and spirits
will be sold at every one of the wine
and beer shops Another objection
to this bill Is that it forces these
wine and beer shops upon communi-
ties which do not want them.
Fit is just and right that all pro-
hibition amendments should first be
submitted to the peoples will as ex-
pressed at the polls, it is equally true
that any bill (such as Noble Mars
den's) which has for its object the in
crease of the liquor interests should
first be voted upon by the people.
Our present liquor laws, permitting
the sale of liquor to the native Ha,
waiians, were passed against the
wishes of that nationality. 1t was
pdSSeO lOE pOiltlCdi ehcCo, duO az VIC
instigation of white men. The result
of the passage of that law is the
present degrading appetite for liquor
shown by so many of the native Ha
waiians in Honolulu. Noble Mars
denis bill is the first step along the
same road. Men begin to drink with
wine and beer, and then proceed to
abuse themselves with spirits. They
are first tipplers, then moderate
drinkers, then drunkards. The differ
ence is only in degree. Many do not
stop in either the first or second
class very long.
It is asserted that with the greater
use of wines and beers the use OF
spirits would decrease. That this
statement is not correct is shown by
the following table, taken from the
general OF Customs. 1t shows that
with the greater consumption OF
wines and beers, the consumption o.
spirits has not only not decreased
but has nearly doubled in the las
twelve years.

Thus, after paying into the Hawai-
ian Treasury every cent now received
from the liquor business, and after
allowing a liberal sum for running
expenses and 10 per cent. on the
capital invested, we still have $500,
600 of our annual drink bill for
which to account. One thing is GER
tain, neither the Government nor the
people at large are getting the bene-
fit of that sum. They should get it,
however, as it comes out Of their
pockets. Without paying out one
cent more than we now pay under
our present method Of controlling
the liquor traffic, if put under the
Gothenburg system, we would save
to the country each year 100000.
