he was injuring the anti-annexa-
ton cause instituted BY the sugar
trust The report started by Mr..
Nordhof. i few days before he
withdrew from the royalist gaze,
that he went because he had
killed annexation, and his presence
was needed no longer, shows that
he was evidently bent on carrying
out the farce 10 the end. The men
who sent Mr.. Nordhof here are
much shrewder politicians than
the royalists Of Honolulu. The
former recalled the bIundering old
man after seeing the effect pro-
duced by his political fabrieations
the royalists are still swearing by
Papa Nordhof, and believing the
government at Washington Is as

There is an old saying that
nothing escapes a lawyer when he
is paid well for remembering it.
The truth is forcibly brought to
mind by one of the arguments of
Sir Charles Russell during his plea
before the Behring sea arbitrators.
No one but a hired lawyer would
have thought of killing of the
seals to protect the fish they eat
annually Yet this is in substance
what Sir Charles has proposed.
He has figured it down fine, and is
able to state that the seals eat
100000 tons Of fish Z year, which
at $50 ton would make the food
OF the seals cost nobody S120,000,-
600 6 year. As the worlds fish
supply is already greater than the
demand, and the seal-skin supply
falls far short, it is difficult to see
any other basis than an imaginary
one for Sir Charles argument.

EARLY sUPERsTITION.
A Legend Regarding the Desfruc-
tion of a Heather Temple.

Halawa valley on Molokai has
many attractions for visitors. One
interesting sight is grove of ka-
mani trees, some of which rise
over one hundred feet from the
ground.
Several hundred yards mauka
of these trees stands the ruins of
the once celebrated heiau or
heather temple Of Mana. This
heiau IS built at the base of a very
high hill. The natives relate the
following narrative concerning its
destruction: The early native
Christian converts of Halawa val
ley once desired to build a church
for them to worship in, and the
stones for the building were fur
nished from the stone walls of the
heiau. A noted kahuna Of the
place strongly objected to the desc
Grafton of the temple built by their
ancestors. Finding his words un-
needed, he prophesied that the
church would crumble to pieces
and an epidemic would destroy
many people. The natives assert
that the walls Of the church did
crumble down, and nearly one
thousand OF the inhabitants of the
valley died Of an unknown ma
lady within that year
A small heap of stones still re-
mains today to mark the spot
where the heiau Of Mana once
hourished. The ruins Of the heiau
Of Kanalos at Haena, Kauai, Is
very similar to that Of Mana.

THE PENINSULA.
Pearl Rarbor as a Seaside
Resort.

Resort.
For a summer resort, accessibl,
at all seasons, no place near this
city offers better inducements than
"the peuinsula" at Pearl Harbor
The Oahu railway trains run there
twice each day, occupying only
thirty minutes time in going OF re
turning. 4 recent visit TO this
locality shows considerable pro-
gress during the past few months.
A commodious station building
has been erected for passengers,
opposite the enclosure reserved for
q park. And near it are several
dwellings in course of construction
or finished by Mr.. J. T. Water
house and ready for occupancy.
One building is designed for Il
public hall, and has bell hung in
its cupola, which daily rings the
work hours of the laborers. This
building may be used for school
purposes, lectures, etc.
On the south shore of the penin-
sula, near the hotel reservation, are
also several new cottages recently
erected by J. T. Waterhouse, ready
for occupancy. Water is laid on to
each cottage, while fruit trees and
vegetables are planted in the sur
rounding yards.
Such easily accessible summer
resorts as this on the peninsula add
greatly to the attraction of life in
this city, and they will each be
more and more sought for.
One cottage in particular, select
ed by Mr.. W. for his own use, is
surrounded by beautiful lawn of
manienie grass, the path being
lined with gaudy flowers. In this
yari is found a variety OF fruit
trees, including mangoes, pears,
cocoanuts. showing how vigorously |
they viii thrive in this locality.
Near by Mr.. J. A. Hassinger has
8 cottage where his family often re-
sort for an outing. The fresh trades
blow along the shore at all hours
Of the day or night, rendering it
pleasant indoors or out at all times.
There is not on this island of Oahu
4 better place for sea bathing,
boating or fishing than around this
peninsula. Most of the building
ots along the shore were sold at
auction a year or more ago, and
rom time TO time new cottages are
erected. In all there are some
twenty-five new buildings on the
and if all were occupied
t would make quite little village.

THE TAX OFFICE.
Work Going on and To BE Done
by Assessor Shaw.

br Assessor SHAW.
An ApygRTIsER reporter called
at the tax office in the old finance
department Thursday and found
everybody up to their ears in work,
The floor was strewn with assess.
ment books and upon the tables
were piles and piles of documents
awaiting Encouragement and class
i6cation.
Deputy Weldon took the reporter
in charge and explained the work
in progress and in contemplation.
First we are asserting all the old
books" said the deputy, "and this
means not only classifying, but in
dexing them. Here, for instance,
are the old stub books of last year
they have all been checked over.
This green check mark is ours"
"Well, what's the point?" asked
the reporter.
Its just this. A man comes in
and says he has paid his taxes.
These stubs are alphabetically ar
ranged and We can tell in minute
if tax receipt was issued TO him
or not. Many men who delay pay
ing their taxes until the end of the
year often honestly think, when
they do pay, it is for the current,
when in fact it was for the past
year These stubs always set the
matter right.
THAT big lot of books over there
is the assessment books they are
now being classified and the delin-
quent lists for 1890 are being made |
out. As soon as finished, notices to
pay up viii be sent out"

in Honolulu, are there?" asked the
Not many w gasped the deputy,

rIsER man.

has not paid for '92 yet; and
here's all of $160,OOO worth of
PERSONAL property not paid on yet,
There, gently" said the re-
,orter, putting his finger eonfden-
tally on Mr.. Weedon's arm, please
xplain, WHY these taxes haven't
ieen collected, will you?7
Well, I can't tell you that, said
he deputy, "all l can say is that
re are preparing to collect every
ent due the government = and
ell do it too"
Now there's poll taxes" con-
nued Mr.. Weldon, heretofore
axes of this kind have only been
on men p years old. We
ltend to follow the law, and here
fter viii collect poll tax of every
lale OF II years or older"
"Will that make much differ
nee in the revenue?" asked the re-
Orter.
''Yes. it will make difference of
bout 20 per cent. in the amount of
oil and road tax, and that will be
good round sum. We expect to
lcrease the tax collections by en-
rcing the law in other quarters as

How Is II Used.

A country lawn In one of our Mid

college, was startled by the suicide of
one of the college students He had
become confirmed drunkard; and
enieebled in mind and body; conscious
that his career In college was over
afraid TO 20 home, in despair he
sought death.
His brother was sent for TO take
the dead boy home. He found the
President OF the college, and said to
him:
my mother three years or more
ago sent you her youngest son, her
benjamin. lie was healthy, honor
able Toy, who, when he left home,
had never touched a drop Of liquor.
There Is nothing to carry back TO her
but this poor diseased body Who
has done this? Who is gui ty?"

moved. mot l." he said. "The
facu ty were interested in him. When
he began to 90 astray they remun-
strated with him. Ipleaded with him.
Every influence that we could exert
was brought TO bear But he went
down as IL d avn by some invisible
hand"
Whose was this hand?
AS the dead boy was carried down
th, street, a pretty young girl looked
out Of window OF her home. and saw
the hearse. She remembered how,
nearly three years ago, vexed at his
blindness to he. charms and his eager.
ness for study she had used "a her
little wiles to attract him; how she
had succcedcd: how mad he was In
his admiration OF her.
There was Il club I'm the college
composed OF students of free social
habits. At their late suppers wines
were used, and stakes were PLAYED for
at their card tables She had urged
him to join the club. aud had praised
their "manly" ways; their freedom
from hoyish re traints. They were
men Of the world: she never could
care for any man who had not seen
life"
lie had Joined the club, and this
was the result.
The silly, frivolous girl gave n sigh,
and then laughed ncrvously 1t was
pity! She had lost an admirer.
But who was to blame? Not she.
She knew other men of the world
who would not h. driven to suicide

She went on her foolish cruel way.
This is true story stripped of its
worst details. In every college town
there are young girls whose influence,

students than that Of their wiscst
and dearest friends. How do they
