like the English 'e.' The rule is
to pronounce every vowel, and as
the exception to the rule does
not affect the double II in Hawaii,
you see that the word is "Hah.

These are the twelve letters in
the Hawaiian language, with their
pronunciation: A (ah), e (a), (e). o
(oh), o (oo), b (hay), k kay, | Qah),
m (moo), n (noo), p(pay), V way.
There is no sound of "i" as in the
English language, except where
"ai" follows "w," or, as the
Hawaiian lady would insist, "v."
There is great difference in the
language as spoken by the high
and low caste Hawaiians. The
low caste speak with a succession
of explosive, staccato gutturals;
the high caste with a liquid flow
that makes it beautiful language.

HOW TO PRONOUNCE "HAWAII."

the one authorized by Lippin-

and the Century's dictionaries, is,
for the name of the principal

A Plan Proposed for Street Work

A gentleman who has considerable eX-
perience in work of that kind makes the
following suggestions as to the DISPOSE
tion of the forces OF the street commits
Sioner and the Scavenger carts as well as
the work to be done in both departments;
"let an equal number of labOrers be Sc
lected with the sanction Of the alderman
of each ward. these laborerS to live in the
ward and to be under a foreman for that
ward. Let the wards each receive equal
consideration and have the same amount
of work done in all of them so that each
ward can receive its share of the i'm
prOvements. When necessary to join all
of the forces this can easily be done.
The first work that should be done
should be to connect the good
county roads recently constructed by the
county with equally as good streets lead
ing to them from the heart of the city.
One that is badly needed is fine macad-
amzed street to the cotton compress.
Each ward should have an equal and Suf-
ficient number of garbage carts and the
owners of the city carts should be their
drivers. | think that in this way more
and better work will be done. 1t don't be-
lieve in hiring a lot of men just before
election time to smoke cigarettes and play
that they are working on the streets as
has been the custom just on the eve of an
election every time heretofore"

A DISSIPATED At,

Couldn't Stand the Pace.
From the Chicago Herald

Couldn't Stand the Pace.
From the Chicago Herald
"Poor old Uncle Dick is dead,
the victim of ignorance and cruel
ty."
The smooth.faced man in the
Auditorium cafe pushed spoon
into a goblet of ice, stirring the
bitters and syrup, as he meditated
aloud on the death of Uncle Dick.
His face took on a thoughtful ex-
preston as he continued: "This
place was overrun with rats about
a year ago and we did our best TO
catch the whole gang of them.
We bought a lot of spring traps
and in a week or so caught as
many as a dozen. While here at
work during rat catching time we
heard the trap snap one day, and
it was followed by pitiful squeal.

a rats tail. l was about to put
an end to the owners life, when

appeal for mercy that l could not

tied it around his neck with a
pink ribbon, stuffed up every rat.
hole we could find, talked cOnsol.
ingly to Mr.. Rat, told him we were
sorry for his tail, named him
Uncle Dick and let him 90. He
lived around here on what he
could find, and we all noticed
that he was particularly fond of
any kind of liquor. We spill
great deal OF beer on this rack
floor behind the counter here
and Uncle Dick was always hap.
Ply when tapping it up. Then we
began giving him his beer in a
saucer, and also gave him plate
of turkey back here in a little cor
ner. 1t was bad precedent to es.
tablish, because after that he
would not hunt for eatables for
himself. He would squeal around
here until we prepared his meal.
Of course we petted him a great
deal when we had time. He
would curl up in our arms and
had no fear of any one.
"One day one of the boys gave
him a little whisky instead of beer.
Twas a bad change, for its the
same way with rat as with a
man. Uncle Dick liked it and he
got as drunk as a lord. He stag
gered around here, rolled over
two or three times, and then, as if
ashamed of himself, he went into
his corner to sleep off the drunk.
We all agre ed that whisky was
bad for Uncle Dick and that
he should have no more. We
gave him beer the next day, but
he would not drink it. He want
ed whisky. We compromised on
wine and he agreed to it.
$50 it went on, and Uncle Dick
would be living now and enjoying
his wine every day if they hadn't
sent a fellow who didn't know
Uncle Dick in here to scrub up.
He saw Uncle Dick and supposed
him to be an ordinary rat. He hit
him with a scrub-brush and Dick
turned up his toes. Well, he
was jolly good fellow, but the
best fellows always have untime-

A Valuable Discovery for Smelling
ores--Electricity Does It-Wants

A Valuable Discovery for Smelling
ores--Electricity Does It-Wants
Street Cars-Personals,
San ESTEBAN HOTEL, SATILLO,
Feb. -, 1893.
To the LIGHT,
One of the greatest discoveries of
the age for the reduction Of ores is
one that has been recently dis
counted by a gentleman in Salt
Lake City, Utah. The ores are
rOaStedgand treated by electricity;
and it is stated on reliable author
ity that the ores that cost now
from $l4 to $500 a ton can be
treated in less time for one dollar
and fifty cents and upwards a ton.
Prof. H. ScOugall, civil and min
ing engineer, who recently located
in this city, represents the patentee
in Mexico. Last week he went to
Monterey, and while there, he pur-
chased fifty acres of land from
Major Jules A. Randle, on the line
OF his street railroad, where they
propose, in the near future, to erect
smelter, for the purpose of treat
ing ores under the new process. If
one tenth of what is claimed for
this new process is true, there is
millions in it, to the miners of this
country.
WANTS.
SaltillO, like many of the border
cities want many things that they
have not got, and they make no
efforts to get them. They are
standing still and let them come
of their own accord. AS cities and
factories do not grow-they have
to be built, those citizens will have
to get a move on them if they
want to keep up with the
times. They must do as San
Antonio and Houston have
done invite outside capitalists
to come and assist them in build
ing up the city and develop the
country.
In this connection | interviewed
a number of prominant citizens
and put this question to than:
What do you need most? Doctor j.
ID. Caruthers replied, good hotel,
j. :. Martin, of Cole and Martin,
an honest governor, Jose Mario
Muyguis, more capital and immi-
grafton; Prof. Miguel Pereyra, G..
f. immigration; Prof. POrfcrio
Waldo, more capitalists and immi-
grants; Hon. Woessmcr, Tn
tied States consul, capital
lists, farmers and miners;
NJ. {. Barrow, capitalists and min
erS; Prof. Antonio Farga, immi-
grants and capitalists; DR.. b. &.
Atlee, immigrants and farmers;
j. W. Story, more immigrants,
manufacturers and farmers; DR..
\. y. SCrtuchC, more capitalists
and American immigrants. They
do more to develop the country
than any other class Of people that
come here. DR.. II. ii. Bibb wants
more hotels, immigrants and capt.
taliStS.
All of those men are aware that
without good hotel accommodate
tons, more capitalists, factories,
and farmers, that SaltillO will re-
main at a stand still, and that the
resources of the state will not be
developed during the present gem
Grafton.
