Water for the King.

"Ator 1OT tho hlnXs
King Louis XIV, although given to
excuses of various sorts, and a great
consumer of poisons in various forms,
was exceedingly particular respecting
the water which he drank, probably
through the advice of his wise physi-
clans, who, although they knew moth
ing of microbes, had learned from ex-
perience the importance of pure wa
ter as means of maintaining health
To make sure of having water of I'M
doubted purity. all the water for the
table service of the king was brought
from a spring in the wood Vile d. Array,
and special service was required to
provide the fresh supplies of water
from this pure source, the cost of
which amounted, according to Taine,
to more than fourteen thousand dol
lars per annum-a pretty expensive
price, one would say, to pay for years
supply of water for the table; but,
doubtless, heavier bill has often been
paid as the result of using impure wa
ter.-Good Health.

not seen the child since sent her
the treatment. He requested me
to visit her again, which l did
on Monday morning, the 10Th
inst, and after a careful
examination found her much i'm
proved especially about the face.
l wrote a certificate stating the
facts above mentioned. The treat
ment in this case is neither a
secret or hobby, but it is based on
the scientific researches of eminent
European and continental special
lists, whose treatment | am fami-
liar with. I do not claim to be a
specialist on leprosy my experience
being very limited, consisting of a
visit during 1872 to the lazarretto
at New Brunswick in company
with Profs. Lindsey and Lyle of
the Univerity of "Dalhousie." An
other case later on came under my
observation that had gained. admit
tance to the Massachusetts general
hospital, and the other cases in
Bellevue Hospital, n. Y, until /
arrived on these Islands they were
the only cases l had examined.
AS to me wishing bill passed
allowing me to treat lepers
at Kalihi | believe my IL
cense obtained in regular form
from the Board of Health al
lows me to practice at any place
in this kingdom. My convictions
in regard to leprosy is, that it CAN
be cured during the first year OF
its appearance. This is the belief
and statement of DIR. Milton, OF
India, and other specialists who
have made a careful study of the
disease. During the first year of the
disease, cure can be effected in g
comparatively short time by ener
getic internal and external EN-
ployment of the proper remedies
The people must look for cures
from the legitimate channels O
science, and not from irresponsible
parties who have hobbies to sell a
so much per bottle.

AbOuf LeprOsy.

Mr.. EDITOR: | was surprised,
when reading your report of the
Legislature this morning, to find
my name brought before the public
in a false light. One would sup
pose, when reading the article re-
ferred to, that I had made an
application to be allowed to
treat leprosy at the receiving
station, and furthermore, that
I had some special or secret
remedy / wished to use. I am
surprised that my name should be
used in connection with the mat
ter, and can only account for it
from the following circumstance to
wit:
On April 4th 1 was consulted by
the wife of a well-known business
man in regard to her daughter,
whom, she claimed, was confined
at Kalihi without reason. She re-
quested me to go and see her
child, which [ did, and found upon
examination Gas | expected) we'll

ease. Out of consideration for the
mother, who was in delicate
state of health, l withheld my
opinion, remarking that the gentle
men comprising the Board of
Health who had examined her pre-
viously must know their business.
The lady requested me to prepare
some medicine, and that she would
see it was faithfully administered
to the child. This I prepared and
delivered few days later. On
Sunday evening, the 18th inst, 1
was visited by the father of the
child, who requested me to write
statement as to my treatment of
the case, which he desired to pre-
sent to the Legislature. l told him

movement of that kind and could

MTDGETS TO MARRY.
Admiral Dot and Mabel G1adis
to TOiu Fortunes.

-
A romantic meeting and firta-
ton between Admiral Dot and
Mabel Gladis during their engage
ment with the Royal Midget Com
bination has ripened into a MARI
age engagement.
Admiral Dots right name is Leo
pold Kohn. His parents live in
New York. He was brought out by
Barnum when 6 years old, and
has been on exhibition twenty-five
years. He is forty-eight inches
high. Major Atom is his nephew.
Mabel Gladis' name is Lolita
Swartwood, and her home is at
Binghamton, N. Y. She is one inch
taller than Admiral Dot, and %
years old. She is recognized as the
prettiest and best-formed midget
on exhibition. She and Admiral
Dot will fill one other engagement
after leaving Cincinnati, and will
then go on to New York to get the
consent of their papas and NAM
mas. If they refuse, the midgets
are both of age, and will get mar
ried just the same.-[Cincinnati

Pearl Harbor Scheme Endorsed.
June %, 1892.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t was a pleasure
this morning in looking over your
lively paper, after reading the say
ings and doings the previous day
in the Legislature, to read the able
letter of General A. S. Hartwell on
a new scheme about Pearl River,
and advancing the interests of Ha-
wall.
This letter is very opportune,
when the supposed wisdom of the
country is in session and positively
without leader, with the ship of
state drifting. on the reef with
which the kingdom is surrounded.
The tide of emigration is setting
outwards, in consequence of want
of employment, whilst there are
some men here seeking for work
and willing to take $3.50 per week,
and cannot find it. The iron
foundry on Tuesday last discharg-
ed another batch Of their best
hands; several Of them will have
to leave the country. 1t is nov
city in this country before this for
men, women and children to be
suffering from the pangs of hunger.
What are we coming to?
Mr.. Hartwell's proposed negotia-
tions with some of the Great Powers
for Pearl River Harbor is strictly
sound, and in the interest of the
kingdom.
What does he give as the result?
{" It would be to make here a
central naval station, and the port
of call for merchantmen through
out the Pacific Ocean, to give sta
bility to value and to Hawaiian
affairs, and cause capital to stay
and come here for enterprises
which otherwise would not be
thought of"
1t is well said the first offer is
due to the United States, then
England and Germany conformity,
and lastly to France and Russia.
Could [ see Mr.. Hartwell placed
by the Legislature in the office of
Acknowledgement, although he
does not want it," l would sub
scribe for one towards supplement-
ing his salary, the sum of one
thousand dollars per annum, and
should like to see the Queens
friend Sam Parker and two other
men, if they can be found, to con-
stitute the Cabinet, which / be-
lieve they can.
Under such circumstances, |
should have grounds for faith for
the deliverance of dangers now in
prospect for these lovely islands
and the garden of the Pacific.
Yours truly,
JOHN THos. WATERHoUsE.

CORRESPONDENCE.
We do not hold ourselves responsible for the
tsteme nts made, opinions expressed by
correspondents

Mr.. EDITOR Your cheerful
evening contemporary makes wry
faces and jumps about as if it is
actually in danger of losing its
temper by reason of my quiet out
line of the. national depression in
cident to the Mckinley Act, and
of my suggestion that Pearl Har-
Dor be utilized. The personal
filings / can afford to pass by, but
your contemporary is evidently
ignorant that this is no original
suggestion of mine, and that the
cession or lease of Pearl Harbor
has had the approval of many of
the prominent men here for some
twenty years others than myself,
and, if [ mistake not, Hawaiians
as loyal, perhaps, as any foreign
editor, will take up this subject in
due time.

doubtedly grows directly out of the
address which was made before the State
Bar Association some time ago by the
Hon. Charles F, Libby, and which at the
time attracted not only the attention of
the bar, but of people in generai as well,
on accountof the wisdom and practical
bility Of Its suggestions. The most con-
sentative people in the world are proba-
bly, lawyers. Their allegiance to prece-
dents and to old established customs is
of the most devoted kind. SO that when
lawyers begin to talk of change no 9TH
er evidence is needed that change is
necessary. So far there seems to be gen
eral concurrence on three,points: one is
that judge should not sit in review of
case tried before him; another that
there shall be simplication of the
process of transferring actions of law
third that stenographers shall take
to equity and vice versa: and take
down all the rulings and comments
of the presiding justice and the state
ment and arguments Of counsel addressed
to the court. To the layman it looks as
if all these changes might be made with
positive advantage. 1t looks absurd for
a justice to sit in Judgment on his own
rulings, when the correctness of those
rulings is the question at issue; and the
comments of judge in the course of the
trial of case are quite as likely to have
bearing on the determination of the
case by the jury as his formal charge, SO
that to judge of his fairness and
soundness it is quite as necessary to have
one as the other.

The New York Bar Association has
not abated one jot or little it's opposition
to Judge Maynard as a member of the
Court of Appeals. AT a recent meet
ing to protest against his continuance on
the bench Mr.. Wheeler Fl. Peckham, a
Democrat, voice the general opinion of
the Association in a letter in which he
said:
"The simple question is whether law-break-
ing for party purpose constitutes good rea-
son for appointing the law breaker to I'LL va
cancy in the Court of Appeals Is that court to
be made into refuginn1 peccdf Drum? Judge
Maynard violated clear, plain law. He did it
consciously. His only excuse is t at if e
obeyed, it wo Id have given the cert fcate to a
man who Jur ge Maynard thought was not
elected If In such case q man may break the
law. chaos would reign. reward with high
judicial office man who so breaks the law is
TO degrade the moral sentiment of the comm
nifty"
If this simple question was the only
one that Gov. Flower would have to con-
slider Maynard ould fail undoubtedly
to secure reappointment. But another
one is presented to him, and that is,
whether he is ready to refuse the Hill
crowd who want Maynard reappointed.
Flowe~ will not find that a simple ques-
ton at all.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2s.

A watch dog of the treasury that makes
no distinctions but snaps at everything
which comes in his way is a nuisance.
That is the kind of watch dog that the
Hon. William Steele Holman is. The
last thing he snapped at is the omnibus
bill that makes appropriations for light
houses. The bill had been carefully pre-
pared and pruned of everything that IS
not needed. 1t is measure in the in
terest of the men who go down to the
sea in ships, and considerations of human
ity call for its early passage. But that
makes no difference to Holman. His
conception of his duty as watch dog de-
mands that he should object and he OBJ
jects accordingly. Probably if light
houses were wanted in Indiana Mr.. Hol-
man could have been prevailed upon to
hold his tongue.

When the popular vote thrown at the
recent Presidential election is examined
the great popular uprising for Cleveland
and tariff reform that we have heard so
much about disappears. Cleveland's
total vote is 5,567,99O, Harrison's 5,175,
Gil, Weaver's 1,o25,O60 and Bidwell's
258,347. Mr.. Cleveland's plurality over
Harrison is abont 100000, but he falls
nearly million short of a majority. If
we leave out of the account the Solid
South and consider only those States
where there is free ballot and fair count
Mr.. Cleveland falls far into the minor
ity. The Solid South gave him the great
part of his vote in the electoral college
and it is the huge majorities that are re-
ceived in that region that accounts for
his plurality in the popular vote. Not
tariff reform, but the suppression of
very large per cent. of the votes of the
South, accounts for his plurality.

Senator PETER has introduced bill
prohibiting internal revenue officers from
collecting special liquor taxes from
liquor sellers in prohibition States
Probably Peffer's idea is that such Gel
lection is connivanoe on the part of the
government with an unlawful business,
and is therefore wrong. There is another
side to it, however. By relieving the
liquor seller in prohibition States from
the tax the government helps him break
the laws of the State by making it easier
for him to pay his fines. Really then it
more effectively connives at his business
by the PETER plan than by the existing
PAW. In the latter case the connivance
is purely theoretical. in the former it ia
practical.
