en- APPRECIATIvE TOURIST.

The attention of our readers is
called to a letter in this issue
from the pen of Charles G. Not
tage, Captain of Artillery in the
British Army, who is now in this
city on a brief visit. Captain Not
tage expresses an appreciation of
the climate which is highly graft
flying, and which the downpour of
the last three days does not seem
to have at all dampened. The
statistics as to temperature sought
by our correspondent are regularly
compiled by G. ]. Lyons of the
Government Survey, and are pub
lished in the ADVERTISER and GA
ZETTE. A convenient summary OF
temperature averages for year is
contained in the "Vistas of Ha.
wall.
We want more tourists like Cap
tain Nottage, who seek informa
ton which they will spread in a
useful way, and it is to be hoped
that medical men and others will
take the pains to bring to his at
tention all that he is looking for.

LATTER DAY SAINTS.
The Nicaragua Canal.

The Nicaragua Canal Bill has
been favorably reported by the
Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
lations. 1t follows in the main
the lines of the measure re-
ported at the last Congress. There
are, however, some emendations.
There is a change in the date of
the maturity of the bonds so as to
make them mature in 1858, and
make them redeemable at the
pleasure of the United States after
1903. The provision requiring the
company to execute a mortgage to
the United States as security for
its guarantee of the bonds is
amended so as to require the mort
gage to contain a provision for a
sinking fund for the payment of
the bonds at maturity; and it is
further provided that if the COM
pany default in the payment Of in
terest, or in other respects before
the canal is put in operation, the
right of foreclosure shall at once
attach in favor of the United
States.

MR.. GLADSTONE AND THE CITY OF
LIVERPOOL.

A late issue of the Liverpool
Mercury contains an account of
the presentation of the freedom of
the city to the Right Honorable
VIM. E. Gladstone, who is a native
of that place. A full report of Mr..
Gladstone's speech on the occasion
is given, and it furnishes, in the
clear and sonorous English of
which Mr.. Gladstone is still mas
ter, an interesting sketch of the
city of Liverpool's growth from the
time when, under Queen Eliza
beth, its 1873 householders petit
toned Parliament to restore its
prosperity, to the present day when
it counts nearly as many inhabi-
tants as Chicago.
The freedom of a city like Liver
pool is not an honor lightly con-
ferred, but it is one which should
have come to Mr.. Gladstone long
ago. Liverpool has certainly
no citizen of whom she has SC
much reason to be proud as of this
son, the foremost statesman of the
English-speaking world.

In ANOTHER column will be
found an account of a plagiarism
from the ADVERTISER which ap-
peared in the columns of a la te
issue of the San Francisco Exam
liner. Nearly year ago a very
clever story appeared in our col
umns from the pen of E. Ellsworth
Carey. The whole idea of the
story is stolen bodily by the writer
in the Examiner, and entire pas
sages are appropriated without
even an alteration. Mr.. Carey will
doubtless appreciate the compli-
ment implied in this wholesale
theft, but he would probably prefer
that it should be accompanied by
at least the formality of an &C
acknowledgement.

The band episode, however. has
serious side. The boys would
not persist in their foolish course
if they were not encouraged to do
so by men, white or otherwise, who
are holding out to them specious
prospects of support. 1t is very
certain that the band will not be
maintained by private subscription,
and the men who are deluding
them with any such hope are their
enemies in the guise of their friends.
Which particular impecunius sup
porter or supporters of the late re-
gime is engaged in this nefarious
business we do net know; but who
ever they are, they are simply rob-
bling the band-boys of the means of
earning comfortable and honest
living. As to Mr.. Berger's part in
the matter, he has simply followed
his instructions. Everybody knows,
and the band-boys know well
enough, that he is their best friend

THE STORM.
Eight Inches of Rain in Thirty
Six Hours-F1oods at Palama
and Waikiki.

The rain storm which has been
wetting Honolulu down very stead
lily for thirty-six hours is one of the
biggest for several years. There
has been very little wind, and that
which has blown has come chiefly
from the west and the south. The
rain fell steadily almost all Thurs
day night, letting up during the
day time yesterday, except for an
occasional shower. The downpour
has been very heavy everywhere,
but heaviest near the sea. A good
many yards have been flooded in
different parts of the town. At
Palama, around Robello's lane,
everything was under water, while
the Waikiki residents are in fear
of being drowned out entirely.
The tides in that neighborhood
have not done as much damage as
during the regular konas, but the
taro patches and fish ponds are
under water, and the fish have
broken the taboos and are swim
ming around at their own sweet
will. Kapiolani Park is flooded,
and Mr.. Hollinger's house, mauka
of the park, has been lifted off it's
moorings and is floating around.
The rainfall has reached nearly
nine inches in some favored (?)
localities, while it has averaged
about seven all over the plains.
The Road Supervisor had to be
out in the early dawn to make re-
pairs. The sweep of water had
cleaned out Victoria street and de-
posted about a foot of macadam
on Beretania street, obstructing
the car track. Coming in from
Waikiki, passenger says that the
car had to clear its way as it went
along. A good share of the way
the rails were entirely under water
The following gives the rainfall
at a number of localities for the
twenty-four hours ending at A. NJ.

THOSE OBSTREPER0US BAND BOYS.

The only evil consequence of the
late revolution thus far noted is the
dissolution it has worked in the
Hawaiian Band. In a fever of
misguided patriotism, stimulated
by disgust at the late reduction in
pay the boys have refused to take
the oath of allegiance to the Pro-
visional Government and the band
as a consequence is no more.
The trouble with the band bows
is that they are suffering from a
very common ailment, metaphori-
cally known as 'big head" This
affection is the real source of their
patriotism. They have been pat
ted on the back so often that they
have come to believe themselves
the most indispensable wheel in
the state coach. A little expert

White House Ladies.

There are now living but four ladies
who have presided over the White
House during former administrations.
These are: Mrs. Grant, who is living
quietly in New York; Mrs. Garfield,
who is enjoying in Ohio the income
subscribed by the admirers of her hus-
band after his death, eleven years
ago; Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston,
who is quietly closing life full of
happiness and honor at her residence
in Baltimore, and Mrs. Grover Cleve-
land, who enjoys the distinction of
being the youngest mistress of the
White House and being the only
bride of President welded there. -

A QUESTION
OF HEALTH

By last steamer our
stock of DR.. Jaeger's I'm
derwear for men has been
replenished.
We are now prepared to
fit any one be he a dude
or heavyweight.
You've been suffering
long enough from that
horrid cold; you've spent
a small fortune for
patent medicines and
doctors advice for that
chronic rheumatism. Let
us prescribe for you,
we know what ails
you. You're wearing I'M
derwear of dead vegetable
fiber, no wonder you're
sick.
Let us advise you to
make a change. You
should wear under gar
ments of pure animal wool.
Nature so intended it, but
you've been run ling con-
trary to nature until at
last, she has broken down.
Do you wonder at it? Let
us tell you something:
Animal wool is the mate
rial devised by nature for
animal covering and pos
sesses, as the simplest
experiments will prove the
valuable quality of not
attracting or retaining the
noxious mal-odOrous mat
ters, which the animal
body exhales. Moreover
being a slow conductor of
heat animal wool does not
chill even when damp.
Some friend will perhaps
tell you that wooden under
clothing is too hot for this
climate. Don't be misled.
That all-wool clothing
protects the body from
chill is Ineligible to every
one, but it is a common
error to suppose that such
clothing is hot in summer.
Heat is felt to be oppressive
when the natural action
of the pores is hampered
and the exhalation cannot
escape.
If the covering is imper-
vious there is a strong
desire to throw everything
off from the stifled skin:
but the wearer of porous
wooden covering through
which the skin can breathe
is no more oppressed by it
than is a cricketer by his
fiannels, which every
athlete knows to be the
coolest, safest, most com
Portable wear for violent
exercise in hot weather.
Ifyou value your health
don't delay, but encase
your body in garments Of
pure animal wool as made
by DR.. Jaeger, and fo1

Do you want the wheels of
your buggy, brake or dray to
run smoothly this year? Of
course you do, you amt in love
with hot box and a wheel
that won't go round. Just try
a bottle of Climax Axle Oil and
see how it works. 1t is far
better than castor oil, which is
generally used, and is sold for
just halfth price. This oil has
been well tried here and no
one once using it will go back
to castor or axle grease. We
can sell it to you by the bottle,
gallon or 5-gallon tin. If you
still prefer castor oil or axle
grease we have them both in
any quantity.

doors than the ordinary .japd.
iron locks Our new lot has
just been opened.
Gentlemen who shave them
selves know how important it
is to have a good strop, and we
are selling new style Strop,
which several of our customers
say beats anything ever brought
here. This strop is purchased
by the Commissary- General,
U. S. A. for use throughout the
entire army of the United
States, and is supplied to the
entire corps of Cadets at the
Military Academy, West Point.
Try one ofthese strops and you
will never use any other.
The patent Clothes Rack we
sell is Just the thing to use this
wet weather. You can set it
up before the stove in q mo-
ment, dry out the clothes you
got wet in that last shower,
and in another moment you
can fold up your rack and stand
it up behind the door.

been out of some weeks, but

BUTTER AND BUTTERINE.

The National Butter and Cheese Conven-
ton, in session at Dubuque, Iowa, has
passed resolutions which appeal for the
protection Of the dairy interests Of the
country against alleged impositions ana
frauds of the oleomargarine manufacturers.
These resolutions declare that dairy inter-
es:s are threatened with destruction; that
the sale Of oleomaIgarine is not restricted
under the present law, and that this fatty
compound should, under fresh legislation,
only be allowed to be sold pale As talIow
without eOloriDg matter. he convention
calls for further legislation in Congress and
Legislatures to give States power TO regu-
late the oleomargariBe trade, and mean
while the members are pledged to withhold
business dealings with traders who are
guilty OF handling any form Of butter sub
stitute.
No doubt as a commodity IF trade il is
distinctly a wrong on the community to
allow margarine to be palmed eff as genuine
butter. or to permit it to be sold as an
adulterant OF genuine butter unless so de-
scribed In defiance of the law this is what
is done. a manufacturer does not interfere
or make Inquiries too closely when his
margarines are selling as butter, and 3
dealer who can get rid of margarine as
butter is not too explanatory Of the differ
ence TO customers. 1t is to be feared that
butter of fine quality is sometimes kneaded
ND WITH certain proportion of butterine
not easy Of detection. 1t is difficult to sup
press these practices. Only a firm and
yigilant administration Of the law can
reach the offenders. 1t is easy to require
butter to be sold as butter. and margarine
as margarine, but administration OF the law
is not the same thing as declaration Of

HAVE HAD THEIR HEARING.

Commissioner Rea pleads as an excuse Tor
not having done anything that under exist
ing conditions nothing could be done. This
leaves the commission without reason for
its existence. Whether IL could not or would
not does not materially affect the PROPOSE
ton to dispense with the services Of the
commission. Mr.. Rea says that it was i'm
possible to FIX rates without knowing what
the railroad cost and what are its operating
expenses. This view Of the case demon
strates his unfitness for the office. The
necessary cost of the road and the necessary
cost of running 1t are the facts which the
commission needed and which are easily
attainabe. The Southern Pacific roads are
not the only ones that have been built.
There are thousands of men who can COM
pute the cost of railroad over a given
route. The cost could be ascertained in
this way with a much closer approach TO
accuracy than by the books OF the company.
The books of the Contract and Finance
Company would not show the cost of the
road, but the amount of money upon which
the owners of the road thought they might
be able to draw interest. Commissioner
Beckman admits that the cost Of the road
does not cut any figure in the case The
testimony of the three Commissioners leads
to the conclusion that they considered their
Offices a kind Of honorary post to which
salary was attached. There is nothing TO
show that either one of them made con-
siderable effort 10 serve the public. They
have had the hearing they demanded, but
have failed 10 make out a case.
