HONOLULU, April 18th, 1898.
To the Hon. S. B. DOLE, President of
the Provisional Government.
SIR: Whereas the undersigned Off
GERS of Company G of the Volunteer
Forces have given notice of intention
to resign their respective positions to
their commander, Hon. J. III. SOper,
in consequence of the supposed neg
lect on the part of the party in power
towards the Portuguese colony, who
are unanimously in favor of anneXa-
ton, whereupon they were requested
by said Commander SOper to put in
writing certain matters relating to the
Portuguese colony in Hawaii. The
said officers desire to say that since
the overthrow of Liliuokalani the
Portuguese colony appears to have
been overlooked; they have had no
voice In public matters, although they
have from the first been active sup
porters of the Provisional Govern
ment. This state of affairs has created
a great deal of discomfort among them
aud needs redress On behalf Of the
colony we must ask that Il representa-
tive Portuguese lie appointed 10 tht
: first vacancy in the Advisory Council
| of the Provisional Government.
While we recognize that the Pro
visional Government is not estab
lished for the benefit of any particular
class, we wish to call your attention
to the fact that the Portuguese cOnsti
tute large proportion OF the laborins
classes of this community, and tha
they are dependent upon obtaining
work for their subsistence. The las
wear has heen a very hard one TO
them on account of dull times, ant
many of them are in actual destitu
tion.
It is respectfully submitted that i
would be wise to have q committee O
the Advisory Council appointed to in
vestigate the condition of affair
amongst the Portuguese and to recon-
mend such measures as shall b
deemed expedient to ameliorate th'
same.
We have the honor to remain

porter, says the Boston Globe, of an old
lady in Roxbury the other day.
Eyes, she replied, of could be sure
of living the last days of my life in the
Home on Burton avenue"
Tho Roxbury Home for children and
aged women occupies the building pic
ture of which is given above.
1t is one of the best institutions of its
kind in the country. It's board of mana
gers is composed of some of the best
known men and women in Boston, of
whom Solon w. Bush is president.
1t affords temporary home for many
worthy persons, but preference is given
to those who are residents of that part
of Boston formerly known as Roxbury.
When one considers that only one
person in a thousand dies of o d age, the
only disease that should rightfully claim
any of us, it occurs that there is need of
something to correct the fatal tendencies
of modern living
Good nerves are the wellspring of
life, and to impoverished blood and
diseased nervous system, are due
primarily more untimely deaths than all
other causes put together.
1t was in view of this that Pane's
celery compound was first prescribed by
the most eminent practitioner of these
latter days. After years of study and
investigation, practical food for the
nerves and blood was found which has

This Paine's celery compound makes
people well, as thousands of persons
throughout the country have testified
every year, but no better testimonial

Eoxbury Home for aged women, the ma
tron of which says 1--WE realize that
Paine's celery compound has been very
beneficial"
One of the inmates. Mrs. Hannah Pat
terson, 80 years old, has been greatly
benefited by Paine's celery compound.
She can sew as well as she could at fifty,
which she has not been able to do for
ten or twelve years, because she was un.
able to hold the work in her hands.
Miss Lucy Mann, another resident of
the home, has been cured of general
prostration, and these and others could
say enough in praise of the remedy that
has made them we'll.
Paine's celery compound is not a
patent medicine, a sarsaparilla, or any
ordinary tonic, but is as superior to
them all as the diamond is to ordinary
glass. 1t is to be had at any drug store,
and in these months of March, April,

nerve tonic and blood purifier is essential.

town last evening and returned" the
Joint debate following the contest which

night of last week. This debate was the
outcome Of challenge from Delaware

leading debaters Of Port Penn Literary
Society. The question was that OF
opening the gates of the Worlds Fair
at Chicago on Sunday. The trial of in
tellectual ability took place at Port Penn.
The speakers in favor of opening from
this town were j. b. Handy and w. Il.
Coale, while Port Penn, on the side
of closing. was represented by John
Aspril and Frank Brockson. The argu
ments were short, but very much to the
point The decision Of the judges was
in favor Of the Delaware City boys.
BY agreement and desire Of parties
wishing to hear It, the same question
presented by the same parties on the same
side was argued in Assembly Hall last
evening The hall was filed by highly
appreclative audience.
Hon. J. O. Higgins acted as chairman
aud Captain w. E Reybold. r. f. Clark
and w. A. Jester were chosen as judges
The debate was opened at s o'clock and
lasted for nearly two hoGrs. During the
greater part Of the time the speeches
were decidedly strong, instructive, and
In some parts very amusing. But, in
spite Of their best efforts and having the
popular side, the chosen representatives
Of Port Penn were unable TO carry their
point and again met defeat.
