THURSDAY, MARCH 9, i89:

THE attention of our readers is
particularly directed to an account
which we publish this morning of
the collection Of Hawaiian antiqui-
ties, curiOsities, etc, in the Ethno-
graphical Department of the British
Museum. The writer describes with
care what he has seen with his own
eyes, and it is evident that he has
used his eyes to some purpose.

Mr.. EDITOR Very wisely the /
authors of the pamphlets booming /
these islands omit to mention that
besides having the finest climate in
the world, that they can also boast
of the greatest number Of mosqui-
tos.
Doubtless to residents it sounds
absurd to say that these pests ma
terially mar the pleasure of the
tourist. 1t is difficult for person
who has lived here for years to real
ize what an abominable nuisance
they are.
After a prolonged stay in China
and the East Indies, am surprised
to find how little trouble is taken to
prevent the mosquitoes entering the
! house. To attempt to read or write
in your most charming reading
room after dark, or elsewhere for
that matter, is for a stranger (be-
loved of mosquito8), an lmpossl-
| bility.
In the countries | speak of wire
gauze is universal, and where they
are very bad a sort of inner room,
with sides and ceiling of muslin,
enables business men to conduct
their affairs in peace and comfort
The absence of punkahs makes
their presence at meal times intol-
. cradle. Recently at the Hawaiian
Hotel, some Englishmen made up g

APPOlNTM ENTS AND REMOVALS.

In our local columns this morn
ing will be found some facts in
regard to appointments made
under the Provisional Government
which will afford its friends much
food for reflection. The statements
there contained are not street
rumors, but matters which are
understood to be facts. It is not
to be disputed that the Govern
ment has made some grave mis-
takes in the matter of appoint
ments to Office.
The ADVERTISER is no friend of
the spoils system. On the contrary,
we believe that system in all its
forms to be the chief as it is the
most insidious danger to free insti-
tutions the world over. The prin-
ciples of civil service reform, how
ever, have little application to
cases when a government is over.

eases it is almost treason to give

CHURCH SALOONS

The New York Times publishes
an interesting article on DR.. Rains
ford's now famous proposition to
establish church saloons. Some OF
the ideas at the basis of DR.. Rains
ford's proposition are unquestion-
ably sound. There is no doubt that
the saloon does, for the lower elias
seq, discharge a social function. 1t
supplies, to certain extent, a per-
fectly natural and in no way cen
surable want. 1t is the poor man 5
club, and is visited and Datronized
by many with whom the thirst for
alcohol is by no means the sole or
even the chief motive. Men desire
amusement, society, diversion, ex-
element, and when they cannot gra-
tify these impulses in a Legitimate
way they will do it in one which
is not legitimate. 1t is DR.. Rains
ford's recognition of these facts
which led him to propose the esta'
blishment of the philanthropit
saloon.
That the remedy thus proposed
would serve the end for which i
is designed is something which
very few would admit. No doub
the substitution of saloons of tn
Rainsford type for those now ex
listing would be thing as excel
lent, as it is, unhappily, impossible
The church saloon would simpl
add one more to the already length
ening list, and it would make fe'
= more drinkers. 1t might take
, few customers away from wors
places, but it would attract MOI
who do not now frequent saloon
at all. 1t would be a fresh powt
for evil, and the chief limitatio
upon its power to harm would sin
ply be its general ineffectualness.

The phonograph is now located
in the Thomas block, on King
street. Mr.. Stoeckle has big col
lection of new records which can
not fail to please the general public.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1893-03-09

If the "philanthropic saloon ="
may be pronounced in advance a
failure, it is at least true that the
end it aims at is a good one, which
must be attained, if possible, in
some other way. That end is the
transformation of the saloons into
something of a better type, or the
substitution of something else In
their place. The German beer gar
den offers a comparatively desir'
able place of resort, but it cannot
be extensively patronized in the
United States until there is con
siderable modification in the tastes
and habits of the people. 1t is not
however, the beer garden which
makes the character of the German
people, but it is their characte
which makes the beer garden. Tn
contrary assumption is one of tn
| most current of popular fallacies
If there were gardens on ever
street corner in the United State:
they would not drive out tn
saloons.

A NEW MISCREANT.
a HILL-sTRERTJ JACK, THE SERVANT
GIRL TERROR.
He Wears Veil Over His Face and
Has Penchant for Pretty
Maid Servants Out
After Dark.

Complaints were made at the police
station yesterday of a somewhat peculiar
nature. There have been "Peeping
Toms" in the city who have outraged
the feelings OF respectable women, and
there have been men who had acquired
bestial propensity to seize unprotected
females and force unwelcome kisses upon
them. The police at various times have
had to keep their official optics peeled to
suppress these bizarre attempts of
mentally deformed individuals.
The case reported yesterday furnishes
new variation of the old idea which a
certain class of men have of forcing their
attention upon women.
In the southwestern part OF the CITY
there are several elegant residences
aligned upon Hill street, where the
property owners have homes, in which
they employ numerous servants. Among
them are quite @ number of young
women, some of them decidedly pretty,
For some time past there has been an
evident and pronounced disinclination
on the part OF some of these domestica
to leave their homes at night, and little
by little it leaked out that they have
been subjected to the unwelcome perse-
cutions of mysterious fellow, who has
adopted terrifying sort OF method to
prosecute his evening diversions. More
than one girl has been accosted when
going out by the back door after duck
by man who wore veil over his lace,
He would attempt to engage in conver-
setion, and when repulsed would as
sume a threatening attitude, which would
result in precipitate retreat on the
part of the girl to the safety OF the
house. The fellow seems to have con-
fined himself to the back doors of the
residences in question, and he has mae
himself 60 felt that the maid servants
on South Hill street have become fright
ened beyond expression. The fellow ia
always the same, wearing an ordinary
suit of clothes and appearing undis-
guised in all respects, save that be wears
q heavy veil, which covers his entire
head and prevents recognition.
The police authorities have been no.
tilted, aud If the mysterious prosecutor
CT servant girls shows up in his old
haunts he will be yanked in, veil and all.
