KNEW BLOUNT BEFORE.

Just before Spreckels left Homo
lulu, the queen Gas he calls herr !,
J. Blount, Samuel Parker and
nineteen others gave him a cane
with their names engraved on it
and this trilingual inscription ::
cave Claus TIE morituri saluta-
mus. In memory from your fellow
citizens doomed also to die at the
hands of the murder society-the
Annexation club. Leben Sic Hun
dert Jahre and Niemals Sterben."
Commenting upon this gift, wise
San Francisco correspondent writes
to the New York Herald:
"The fact that United States
Minister Blount allowed his name
to follow that of the queen on an
inscription which refers to the
Annexation club as murder So
ciety,' and that the present was
made by stanch friends of the de-
posed queen, is taken by the Ha-
waiians as proof positive that
Minister Blount is strongly in favor
of the queen, even if he does not
advise her restoration when he re-
turns to Washington"
Is that so? When the present
United States minister at Honolulu
used to represent the sixth district
of Georgia his name was James II.
Blount, and he didn't impress his
fellow congressman as either a
Ounce or boor. If he allowed his
name to be engraved on Spreckels
new cane, it is pretty safe to as
sumo that he wasn't consulted
about the Observation-Disclosures

The prevailing scarcity of water
is becoming a serious matter to
the people at large. Unless provi-
dence intervenes and sends copious
showers both early aud often, some
decisive measures will have to be
inaugurated in order to meet the
required demands of the populace
for water. Just at the present
time, however, the government is
constructing new pumping plant
at Makiki, which, when completed,
will materially increase the gen.
eral supply. Should this addition
fail to furnish sufficient quantity
of water other sources will have to
be developed.
There is large spring on the
premises of the Mrs. Bishop estate,
near the city, at present under
lease to the Hon. John Ena
for long period. This
spring-known as the Mauoke
spring--is some fifteen feet wide,
being encased under a rocky shelv-
ing giving it the appearance of an
entrance to a cave. The water is
as clear as q crystal and is pure
and sweet. The spring has re-
markable early history, being re-
served for the sole use of the old
Hawaiian chiefs as far back as
1856. In order that none but
chiefs might enjoy its refreshing
water, the spring was tabooed.
1t is thought a never-failing
supply of water can be had from
this spring, and Mr.. Ena. has
brought its qualities before the
government as a possible water
supply. Should the new Makiki
plant fail to provide a suf-
ficient quantity Of water for
all purposes, it is possible
some arrangements may be made
toward using the spring mentioned.
The cost of placing a triple action
pump and laying pipes to connect
with the present mains would be
but small in comparison to the
results to be obtained.
Mr.. Ena is very enthusiastic
over this spring as a means of
water supply, and should it become
necessary to ascertain to what ex-
tent it could be drawn on a test
could be made by putting one of
the fire engines to work and pump
for a number of hours. The pro-
position will no doubt be enter
tanned and the matter given a
thorough investigation by the gov
eminent.

The Bulletin has again raised
the anti-missionary cry. OF course
the Bulletin wishes it distinctly
understood that its course is caused
by the stress of political circum-
stances. If privately interviewed
the editor of that journal would
doubtless intimate that he is an
annexationist at heart but-etc.,

PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
A Fort Street Shoemaker Acct
denfalIy Shot in the Leg.

At exactly 10 o'clock yesterday
afternoon a loud report was heard
on Fort street, in the vicinity ofthe
Club stables. An ADVERTISER re-
porter, being in the immediate Vi
cinity, investigated the matter.
The report proved to be shot fired
from large Colts revolver in a
shoe shop directly opposite the
Club stables, which is conducted
by a German named julius H.
Trueshler. 1t seems that the shoe
maker was in the act of separating
the cylinder of the pistol, in order
to clean it, when the weapon
fell to the floor and was
discharged, the ball entering Mr..
Trueshler's left leg below the knee,
glancing upwards and through the
leg on the outside, producing a
painful flesh wound. DR.. McLen-
nan dressed the injured member,
and the man was sent to the hos
pital. No serious results are to be
expected from the accident, as no
bones were injured or broken.

WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 6. 1893.
THE WAIKIKI ROAD.

For long time there has been
complaint of the condition of the
Waikiki road. This thoroughfare
is used probably to greater ex-
tent than any other in Honolulu,
and is one of the main routes of
tourist travel after the arrivals of
steamers. Besides this, the road
leads to one of the largest suburban
districts surrounding Honolulu,
and is especially patronized upon
holidays by all classes of people.
In times long since past the Wal
kiki road was sufficient for the
traffic, but Of late years the inn
provements at the park and the
seaside have become SO great that
the road has dropped far behind
public requirements. In fact it has
become absolutely dangerous, and
it is the duty of those in authority
to take steps as soon as possible to
remedy the matter.
Until the time when the tramcar
tracks were laid down the road was
not so objectional as at present, be-
cause it had at least one-third
more carriage room than now.
Since the tracks were laid upon the
proper grade and the road left at
its former level that portion of the
road bed occupied by the tracks
has become practically useless to
the driving public.
The conditions which make the
road dangerous with the present
increased traffic can be succinctly
summed as follows: The road is
too narrow in places to allow safe
passage when the tramcars are
met and two vehicles attempt to
pass between the cars and the
fence or ditch, as the case may
be; at intervals telephone poles
are set so far towards the
center of the road that carriages
are endangered, especially at night
at the curve near Hopkins house
the switch takes up so much of the
road that but one vehicle can pass
a tramcar in safety.
It is due to the tramway COM
pany to state that quite lately they
have raised the road bed along
their tracks, beyond Hopkins
house, SO that the danger for some
distance is reduced, but otherwise
the road remains in the same I'M
desirable condition it has been In
for several years.
The proper remedy is for the
government to widen and other
wise improve the road from Hop
kins' house to the vicinity of the
park, and as a start the tele'
phone poles should be at
once removed wherever they en-.
croach upon the road bed. Other
improvements are needed which
should be added as time and
money will allow. These sug'
gestions are made in the hope the
government will soon find itself
able to move in the matter and we
are confident the improvement:
suggested will meet with hearty
public Improvement, if carried out

Hendry's Ready Mixed
Paints have captured the
heart of every man, woman
and child who want to paint
anything from a mansion to a
dog house. Our color list
which we will furnish on ap-
plication contains an assert
ment of colors admirably
adapted for inside or outside
work. These paints are better
than unmixed, for the reason
that they are prepared by
people who have been brought
up on pigments and who could
not make a mistake in COM
pounding the ingredients if
they sat up nights trying.
They are uniform in shades,
suited to people who want to
do odd jobs about the house
and are an advantage over un-
mixed paints from the fact
that when a lattice work
around a veranda is painted
with it, the color is all one
shade, whereas, by the old
way you are apt to have it
look like a harlequin's cos
tune.
The Aermotor trade is look
ing up. The promise of the
Water Works Department to
give Honolulu people enough
water to battle in has no effect
upon the plantation manager
who wants to irrigate cane
land at the least possible eX-
pense. The Aermotor has
been brought IN competition
with steam engines and al
sorts of windmills, but in every
instance, it has come out on
top. In these times when
economy is the order of the
day, the original cost and the
cost of keeping up a piece Of
machinery after it is bought
are necessary points for con
sideration. In this respect the
Aermotor can give any othel
pumping outfit cards anC
spades and win.

Judge Root Compliments the Officials For
Enforcing the Sidewalk Ordinance.
In the police court to-day Nelson Nor
man, a youth of 10, was charged with
the theft of a silver watch from his
brother, Louis Norman. The young
man has been wayward and incorrigible
and last Thursday his father turned him
out of the house. He returned in the
afternoon and when his brother came
home his watch was missing. Last
night the boy was found at his sisters
house and when threatened with a
whipping he admitted his guilt and an
officer was called in. The watch was
found hidden in the water closet. This
morning the boys brother and father
said they could do nothing with him.
Judge Root thought it was case for
good advice and reprimanding the boy
for his behavior he continued the case
for thirty days.
Bennett Merchant, whose case for not
cleaning off his sidewalk was continued
until this morning, had judgment sus-
pended. Judge Root took occasion at
| this point to compliment Prosecuting
Attorney O'Neill and Officers Mccarthy
and Allen for the good work they have
done in trying to enforce a law which
has long been dormant.
Ellen Shanahan, charged with drunk
enness this morning, was fined 81 and
costs.

WROUGHT IN A NIGHT

Returns Suddenly.
GREAT PAIN usHERs IN THE CHANGE

The Strange Case of Aged DIR. Livingstons. =
The Trouble Brought on by Scarlet Fever
When He Was Three Years Old-He
Frightens His Wife by Calling to Her
He Has Difhculty in Expressing Himself
to Others and Often FOrgets and Uses His
Slate.
RoNDouT, N. Y, March 11.--Dr. Liv-
ingston, a venerable resident of the little
village of Bennettsville, this State, has
suddenly regained the power of speech and
hearing after having been a deaf mute for
65 years. He is nearly II years old.
His case, so fur as is known, is without
parallel.
When, three years old, a severe attack
of scarlet fever left him entirely deaf, he
soon forgot the little speech he had after
his recovery, and since he was or years
old he has been mute.
One night about two weeks ago he awoke
feeling Il terrible pain in his head. Rising
in bed he called his wife. She was greatly
frightened.
She had been married to him over 40
years. and all that time had never heard
his voice.
When at last she recovered the presence
of mind to ask him what was the matter,
he, in turn, was greatly astonished to hear
her voice fpr the first time.
He finally told her of the great pains in
his head. but had great difficulty in finding
word to express himself.
When the news of the wonderful change
spread through the town many persons
came to l.ivingston's house to congratulate
the old man, whom they have known for
many years.
The pain soon left Livingston's head and
gradually seemed to pass down his spine
into his legs. 1t has left him entirely
now. and he appears to be in excellent
| health.
Since the night when he recovered his
faculties he has gradually regained flu
| cncy in conversation, though he is often at
u loss to find the proper word to express
| himself, Al times after he has been
| alone he furgrts himself and starts to
write on II slate he has always had with
him At first, he says, the conversation
"f people was very annoying to him, as al
sound grated upon his nerves.
He is anxious to have his case invcsti
| gated 10y the medical fraternity. He is now
| the happicst man in the State. AS he tolt
his story tears of joy coursed down hi

Divorce Case.
LONDON, March 1.-THE trial OF the

These witnesses testified that Capt. Winter

accompanied her afterwards to her parlor
Lady Blanche then took the stand in her
own defense. She looked quite unem-
barrasScd, and retained her self-possession
remarkably well, answering questions
promptly and smiling pleasantly, indiffer-
emily or sarcasticaly as the queries seemed
to suggest.
Her ladyship said that she had known
capt Winter for fourteen years, She &C
knuwledg,d that he had dined with her
and visited her parlor at the Seabrooke
Hotel hut she sworc emphatically that she
had never been guilty of the slightest i'm
proprrty with him or with anyone else

lively that Count Jean de Madre had never
been in her rooms at night The count
had, it was true, frequently visited her anG

LULL IN THE STRIKE.
The Ann Arbor Oflcials Claim that tho
Trouble Is About Over.


TOLEDO, March 1.-THE published re-
ports Of the importance Of the strike of
the engineers on the Toledo, Ann Arbor
s. North Michigan railway company's lines
are greatly exaggerated.
Both freight and passenger trains are
being run with fair degree of regularity,
and General Manager Ashley is having no
trouble in securing the services of all the
competent engineers and firemen he needs
for the road.
A despatch from Hamburg, Mich, says
that the Grand Trunk engineers have de
cided to help the strikers on the Ann
Arbor road, and have refused to take any
Of their freight from there.
Hamburg is one of their principal deliv-
cry points, as all the Eastern freight goes
that way, amounting to about l 800 cars
per month.
Grand Trunk officials deny that there is
any probability of trouble from their en-
ploy eS.
