EDITOR BULLETIN:-I was glad

with the ,pnion expressed by

harbor in the neighborhood of the
1utfall of the Nuuanu stream and
from the site of the old hshmarket
cannot be other than most inj 'ri-
,,us to the health of the district
il carried out as suggested
If the impurities in the Nuuauu
stream are, while in a state of
suspension, sufficient to induce
cholera and to uecessitate the
destruction of a quantity of valu-
able foodstuffs, what may not be
-the effect of lifting quantities of
the sediment from the same
stream and, worse, spreading

20 be built over by habitntions
aor even laid open to the action of
sun and wind in the immediate
vicinity of habitations.
1t is well known that epidemics
OF diphtheria, typhoid and other
fevers have been occasioned in
houses and whole districts
quilt and laid out upon
ID. made" ground, made, that is,
largely of household refuse, the
accumulations perhaps of years,
but no such made ground as that
can compare with the sludge to
be dredged from the Nuuanu end
of this harbor. l notice among
4he Local and General notices
IN the sane issue Of your paper
that there is larga amount Of
fever on the EVA planta-
tion;" that "malarial fever always
breaks out to greater or less
extent when the pIowing season
is on hand" and that it Is pre-
sumably caused by exhalations
from the freshly turned soil" If
there be a fever specially con-
nected with the plowlng season
the presumption as to its origin
is probably correct. How much
more then must the accumulated
sediment of years from the waters
of sewage-polIuted stream, and
the refuse of an old fish market,
BE likely to induce disease than
Ehe mere turning over of the
almost virgin soil of the Eva
plantation
That the head of the harbor
should be thoroughly dredged is
to my mind perfectly clear, that
the matter raised should be de-
posted outside the reef is equally
so, but t. dispose Of it by spreading
it on large surface anywhere
near human habitations appears
10 me to be just the worst use
that could be devised for it.
SALUs POPULI.

m1UR aim since the or
~ ganization of the firm
has been to supply the
people of Honolulu with
first class furniture at a
m e d ium price. Th @
growth of the business is
the best evidence we can
offer as a verification
that we have never di-
verged from our motto.
In this advertisement
we call your attention in
a general way to the var
ious articles of furniture
we carry by submitting
a few designs of pieces
that should be in every
home.
CHINA CLOSETS are as
much in demand as bed
steads, they are no long
er in the list of luxuries;
the craze for collecting
odd bits of China or brio
a brac, and the desire to
keep them IN a conven-
lent place for showing
to ones friends, has made
the China closet indis-
pensable. We have them
in various styles, single
or double, for wall or
} corner. Those in an
>tique oak are fashionable
{ because they are service
able, the durability of
sthe finish on oak has the
seffect of making them al
ways appear new.

iii NE bureau is scarcely ade-
~ quate to hold all the shirts,
underwear, etc, of gentleman
and wife; two bureaus in Il room
make it lop-sided particularly
when they are. not the same pat
tern. A CHIFFoNIER, no matter
what the design OF color, adds
finish to the room just as a piano
does to a parlor.
1t may sound egotistical, but we
believe we have the largest stock
of these articles to select from
outside San Francisco.
Oak is the style oftenest selected
for the same reason as given re-
garding China closets, but with
our stock there is no limit as to
style OF wood. Oak, Birch or Ash,
it is all the same, we can supply
them in twenty odd styles. We
have them with or without toilets;
plain top and with either German
or French bevel mirrors, and
polished or vanished surface.
The half dozen drawers in a
Chiffonier make it possible to
separate the clothes and keep them
always in place. If youhave ever
had one you know the value; if
you have not get one while the
price is below bedrock.

The opposition of prospective

Mr.. Fran Mos ha persi't-

A Campfire of Fossil Wood.

Our fire was made of fossil wood gath
cred en- the beach. This wood is found
scattered or i'll wave washed windows
all about the bay where the shores are
low enough for it to rest. 1t also occurs
in abundance in many Of horavines and
gorge, and in roughly stratified beds of
moraine material, some of which are
more than / 900 feet III thickness The
bed rocks on which these deposits rest
are scored ard polished by glacial action,
liko all the rocks hereabouts up TO at
least 5000 feet assve the sea Tie tim
Der is mostly in the form of broken
trunks Of tho Merton, Patou aud Mem
zies spruce, the largest sections being 20
to 80 feet long, and from to 3 feet in
diameter, some of them with the bark
on, sound and tough,
1t appears therefore that these shores
were, century or so ago, as generously
forested as those of the adjacent bays
and inlets are today; though, strange TO
say, not one tree is left standing, with
the exception of few on mountain tops
near the mouth of the bay and ON the
east side of the Muir glacier How this
deforestment was effected / have not
space to tell here. will only say that
all have seen goes to show that the
moraine soil On which the forests wge
growing was held in place on the steep
mountain slopes by the grand trunk
glacier that recently filed the entire
bay as its channel, and that WHOM it
melted the soil and forests were sloughed
off together.-'tThe Discovery Of ala.

On Fifth Avenue, New York.

Fifth avenue is the fashionable thor
oughfare 1t is mixture Of the Edge
ware Road, New street, Birmingham
and the Champs Elysees The pavement
is primitive and abominable, with, along
the edge, the lingering stumps Of trees
that have recently been cut down, When
1t rains, the water collects ON the side
walks in pools that rise over your ankles,
The stone blocks in the road are of the old
rafting Oxford street oblong pattern,
1t is the boast of Fifth avenue TO be free
OF tram, cable car and elevated railway.
1t is the only one of the l2 or 3 avenues
that is so free, The fashionables keep
them out, as the gas was kept out of
Grosvenor square.
The only public conveyance that runs
in the avenue, from Washington square
to Central park, about two miles, is a
broken down stage, drawn by four spav-
ined, tired, hairy old horses, Yuu see it
crawling along, full of well dressed peo-
pie, among the cabs and coupes and
smart carriages, and it looks like nothing
so much as Buffalo Bills Deadwood
coach, from the Earl's Court exhibition.

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 81, 1895.

AIRY rs bill as souvenir, placing on
the same private mark. About three
weeks ago it came into his possession
again. He is confident that he is not
mistaken III the mark, and does not feel
oomplimented over the idea that his
Japanese acquaintance did not think
enough Of him to keep the bill.
A business man Of this city relates
this He went from Chicago to Pitts
burg on a sleeper. He paid the conductor
for his berth, giving him a marked IS
bill, He went from Pittsburg to Cleve-
land the second day, and ON the third
day he bought a sleeping car ticket for
his return trip. The conductor handed
him the same bill he had given to the
other conductor.
This story was told to q funny man,
who told thiss ri went down to Wash
ington few years ago, and just before
quitting the train I handed the porter Of
the car in which had travelled d So bill
and have never seen it since.
There is bill floating about the coun-
try somewhere on the back of which is
prescription written by reputable
physician several years ago II is a
"sure cure" for the grip, and was put
'here by the doctor out of fancy that
it might save somebody's life
Another one is in circulation, pre-
sumably, on which is written! ''If this
should fall into the hands of Reuhe,
Mddleman, he will please communicate
his address to his brother James, Gen
eral Delivery, Boston, Mass, on or be-
fore january, 1886. After that in Eng
land. He knows whore.
Then the funny mani got hold of one
on which he pasted a slip and then
wrote, "You are all the world to me be-
cause I am stuck ON you.
A dollar note in the possession of a La
Sale street lawyer has this written
across the face of it, This bill has saved
my life three times, but give it up"
His life or the bill? Who knows what
story that dollar bill could tell?
There is SIS bill somewhere, if it
isn't destroyed, on the back of which is
Endorsed the statement that the man
who had it passed it a number of times
at the Worlds fair--frst in purchasing
a ticket, then at various times at the
cafes, and finally, as he supposed, in Old
Vienna And then he paid his hotel in
part with the bill indorsing that on it
the last time he saw it, as he supposes.
A banker on Washington street told the
writer that he has collection of bills
on which are written or painted or
drawn many strange things and pictures
His collection represents face value Of

Old Samoan Ways.

The Samoans are physically splen-
didly made race Of deep bronze color.
Their hair is naturally black, but is
converted by frequent dressings Of lime,
which have u bleaching effect, to dull
reddish tint. This custom obtains both
with the men and the women. Their
arms and chests are specially we'll devel-
oped from their habit Of padding long
distances in their canoes from island to
island--in fact, at SO great distances
from the mainland were these natives
seen by early travellers, that this group
was christened the NaySator islands.
At this time, too, travellers reported that
the Samoans Wore fine black sl1eins
reaching from the waist to a short dis
lance above the knee. This report
though without foundation in fact, was
due to the custom possessed by these
people Of tattooing themselves after that
fashion, covering about the same part
of the body as would pair of our bath
ing drawers.
All the men are thus tattooed on ar
irving at maturity, and are not allowed

The last viii of Michael Crone. filed
some time ago for probate. is being con-

tator was not mentally able to make a

Counsel for Mrs. Sweeney stated their
ability to prove that at the time of ma king
the viii Michael Crane, then seventy five
years-old. was mentally incapacitated. and
that while in his youth he was Roman
Catholic, he had eventually withdrawn
his relations with the church. They would
also show that from his youth up he had
been peculiar and was the pet of his mother
because oi his supposed mental deficiency.
Mr.. Perry, in his presentation of his
side of the case, responded by stating that
the Will unter which Michael Crane OBJ
tanned his property from his brother, James
Crane. had been attacked by the same
party on he same grounds. He would
be able in show. he said, That while the de-
