widening; but when will the Gov
eminent ever be rich enough to do
it if damages are to be paid for
every inch of land on the route !?
AS a matter of fact, the value of
property is, in most cases, so much
improved by the street-widening
that the gain more than counter
balances the loss. There are some
citizens who have acted on this
fact, and have been far-sighted or
public-spirited enough to donate
the land necessary. If there were
more men of this quality, Hawaii
would go spinning along the path
of progress instead of creeping Oh
broken wing.

DISFRANCHIsED VOTERS IN KONA.

If it is true, as stated in another
column by correspondent from
Kona, that over one hundred duly
qualified voters of that district
were excluded from voting for
Road Board, some one must have
made Il very serious blunder. The
Road Board Law is not q marvel of
Legislative wisdom, but it is not
likely that its provisions really dis
franchise voters.
The error probably consisted in
failing to provide ballots for all the
qualified voters at the different
polling places.
Whether the fault is with those
who made the law or those who
attempted to carry it out, one thing
is certain, and that is that persons
who have a right to vote under the
Constitution cannot be deprived OF
that right by law. There is another
case here for contested election.

A LITTLE ABOUT STREET WIDENING

The Waikiki road stands in
urgent need of widening. The
work in and of itself would not be
very costly, and the result would
be the transformation Of this mar
row and inconvenient road into a
splendid driveway. There is one
thing which stands in the way of
this much-needed Improvement,
threatening its indefinite postpone
ment, and that is the greed of the
land owners along the line of the
road. We do not say all the land
owners, heaven forbid that they
should all be wanting in public
spirit. Two Government officials,
however, who happen, unfortu-
nately for the public, to own prop
erty adjoining the road, have put
in claim against the Government,
one for 80 cents and the other fol-
the modest sum of 81 per square
foot. This is only valuation OF
about $21, 800 and $4,000 an acre
respectively. 1t would be interest.
ing to know whether the two pieces
in question are paying taxes at the
rate indicated. The doubt seems
injurious, and yet we cannot refrain
from doubling.
Nothing stands so much in the
way of every needed Improvement
and indeed of all progress, as this
spirit of coId-b looded selfishness
and indifference to the public wei
fare. Yet it is but too common
The patriotism of the average mar
seems to be bounded by his skin
rarely making excursions beyond
that often tightly drawn limit. PEG
pie seem to think that the Govern
ment, being corporation without
q soul, has no rights which pri
vate citizen is bound to respect
Men who are perfectly honorabl,
in all their other dealings think i
no sin to "stick" the Government
Us the phrase is, and regard the pos
session of any kind of claim agains
it as the opportunity of a lifetime
In this very matter of stree
widening, for instance, how mucl
easier it would be to improve anC
beautify the city if land holders
generally would give the narrow
strip required, instead of put
ting a fancy price upon it
This is course not merely die
tated by public spirit, but even by
self-interest in cases where a pro
posed widening would not on am
other terms be possible. Nuuanl

We want to introduce to
your notice a strong, we'll made
japanese corn broom with a
very light Misunderstanding
new in this market and the
next best thing to a new carpet
sweeper. They sell for one-half
what other brooms do and will
last as long as you want a
broom to.
The invoice of carpet sweep
ers that we sent for a month
ago arrived per Alden Bessie
and are better than the last.
The action is perfect and easy
and their use will prevent many
a back ache. Where you do
not wish to give your carpet or
rugs a regular beating or
sweeping there is nothing so
we'll adopted for the purpose
as the Grand Rapids floor
sweeper. The wheels have
rubber tires and can in no
way injure either a polished
floor or a velvet rug. By using
one of them you will save the
wear of your carpets-enough
in a month to pay for the
sweeper.
Perhaps you noticed, some
time ago, Knives in plush cases
in our window. You may not
have examined them and don't
know that they are a tritle
different from the ordinary
pocket knife. These have a
a little spring to them and
when you press it the blade
flies open. This is where they
differ from the every day
pocket knife. Ladies will
appreciate their value because
they know what a trouble it is
to open a pen knife; after try
ing to force the blade with the
finger nails the teeth are re
sorted to with disastrous
results. All this is avoided If

In two smaller wire cages. On his return he
found only one OF his pets alive, ana
learned from his landlady that the other
had literally screamed himself to death.
The survivor, too, was hoarse with des-
perate yelling, and rocking himself TO

whoop that made the windows raIue.
In stress Of circumstances the proprie-
tor of the distressed ringtail purchased a
young capuchin monkey and squeezed
him into the howier's cage In hopes OF

A REMINISCESCE OF PATTI.
Max Maretxek Tells How She Made Her
Debut.
Especial Correspondence


OMAHA, Nov. 21.-The manager under
whom Nine Patti made her first public
appearance says that interesting event took
place but few months short of forty years
ago. The man in question is Max Maret-
eek, whose name is not a familiar one now,
but for nearly third Of century he was
one of the best known impresarios in
America, and managed the tours of many
of the famous singers Of other days.
Twelve years ago he abandoned hazardous
operate ventures and settled down as a
private musical instructor. He continues
to enjoy the friendship Of the diva, and is
not averse TO relating the circumstances
under which she made her debut.
at occurred in the spring Of 1853" he
said to me in a recent interview in this
city, 1.-THE year following the advent Of
Jenny Lind in America. At the time
was conducting the Italian Opera company
In New York, among whose members were
the father, mother. brother and sister OF
Patti. One day they brought the little
girl to me TO try her voice. They said she
was eight years old, but remember think
ing at the time that She was ten. From
that" smiliDgly, you can figure the
madame's age pretty accurately, but as she
doesn't deny her age don't think she will
mind my telling this
1.-THE little girl sang by ear, but she had
a voice which was notable even at that
early age. Her songs were mostly popular
airs of the day, and several of the Swedish
melodies made familiar by Jenny Lind.
Our company was giving three operas and
one concert each week, and | asked the fu-
ture diva if she wanted to sing in the con-
cert the following week,
eyes, sir What will you give meP was
her answer, showing, as l have often
thought since, that the business instinct
was developed in her earliest youth.
"T will give yon that much candy l
answered, drawing a finger around the
edge of the swaziland in my inverted hat
"She expressed herself as satisfied, and
she being a child / OF course straightway
forgot the pledge, though l intended TO
make her little present Of some kind.
The concerts were given at the old Trip
pier hall, on Broadway, opposite Bond
street, and next door to the Central hotel.
When it came PATHS turn to 90 upon the
stage she asked for the candy l told her
/ had none and urged her to sing, but she
insisted on having her confectionery. /
next promised to go out and get some
while she sang, but she declined that ar
rangement. It was late in the evening,
and knew not where to find candy at that
hour within convenient distance of the
hall, and 50, in desperation, l ran into the
hotel and asked the cook for some. The
cook had none, but suggested offering
some little cakes. lady fingers and others
with frosting These satisfied the child,
and she went on with her part. She sang
several Swedish songs and made a very
favorable impression. Every time Nine.
Patti visits America we talk over that ex-
perience, and she always laughs heartily
over it," FRED BENZNGER.
