In THE days of the Provisio nal
Government, when some most as
sertive and at times startling legis-
lation was undertaken by the Coun-
ellis, the stock answer to protest in
the way Of comparison to methods
in model republics was that the
conditions here were different.
1t was the same when it came to
framing the constitution for the
present Government. OF course
there were some men who would
take pains to explain that certain
status called for specific considera-
ton, but again and again was heard
the words that conditions were
different. AT last it came to the
pass that this incidental theory of
Government was quite generally
accepted. In one Of his observa-
tons on his trip to New Zealand,
w. o. Smith clinches this argument.
1t is when he tells of the use of the
English language straight from one
end of that country to the other.
This means the Anglo-Saxon habit
of general cooperation in public
affairs.

LONDON and Colonial advices
that are repeated by each mail take
the tangible form of positive evil
dence that Britain's intent is to
have a cable in the Pacific. Her
statesmen and traders have long
since become we'll satisfied of the
advantages to attend control and
use of a line from Australia and
New Zealand to Canada. Lately
both the Imperial Government and
the Colonial administrations have
shown much earnest and determined
interest in the matter. They as
sumo that nothing can defeat the
project and are confident of the
wisdom of the enterprise. There
is one point upon which all inter
ested are united. This is that the
line shall touch only upon British
territory. Accepting the utterance
of Mr.. Chamberlain, Secretary OF
State for the Colonies, it is clear
that only extraordinary effort could
secure to Hawaii service of the pro-
posed British cable. 1t appears then,
that the Island Administration has
acted with judgment and fore
sight in opening up negotiations in
another direction.

The evolution of the water
filter is an interesting study;
in ancient times the Romans,
so Bill Nye declares, used an
ordinary rake in much the
same manner as one rakes a
lawn nowadays, only they rak-
ed the water. Then step by
step, improvements We're made
until it was possible for man
to secure a glass of water that
was absolutely free from old
boots and other refuse. People
in those days were satisfied
with the primitive filters; they
did not fear the deadly microbe
as much as we do in our day
and perhaps they were happier,
Finally, some inventive genius
discovered that if water was
allowed to .percolate through
charcoal all foreign matter
would be extracted. So char
coal filters were made and
found a ready sale. Bye and
bye, it was discovered that it
was more than a task to keep
this filter clean so bright minds
looked about for something to
take the place of charcoal and
the Gate City Stone Filter
was the result. This filter is
not a new one by any means;
we have sold it since we have
been established in business.
1t can be found in nearly every
large business house in town,
so no pressing invitation is ex-
tended to call at our store to
inspect it. 1t has been on this
market for six years or more
and has a reputation. DIR. Ly-
man, the noted physician of
Chicago, wrote: ut is the best
filter | have ever seen" And
to come nearer home, our own
DIR. Stangenwald gave his ap-
proval in the very same words.
No chemicals are used in the
Gate City Filter; the fluid
passes through a piece of
natural stone. This filter can be
cleaned every day without any
bother; all one has to do is to
brush the stone and then rinse
the interior. If by any acct
dent the stone should be bro
ken, it can be replaced; we
carry duplicate parts in stock.
The cholera visitation caused
every filter we had it stock to
be sold. Several weeks ago
we received a fresh supply and
have sold about thirty in that
time. People in Honolulu
know the merits of the Gate
City Stone Filter and will have
no other. 1t is the best made
and no opposition can stop its
Esale for a moment.
The holidays are rapidly APP
preaching and if you intend to
secure presents for your friends
and relations do not put of
buying until the last moment.
Men are good things in their
way, but they do not exercise
as much judgment during
holiday time" as a woman
does. Some men like to sur
prise their wives and buy some
useless article for the purpose.
To such we would say: Get
something that is both useful
and ornamental-an onyx table
for instance. We have a num-
Der of them and no prettier
present can be made. Every
woman takes an interest in her
home and if you buy something
that will beautify it, your fore
thought will be appreciated.

lier are both suitable for gifts,

There are Two Principles Involved in the
Use Of this Filter.

FIRST Filtration e., the removal of all insol-
uble matter from the water, rendering it clean and
bright In this the filter is practically perfect.
SECOND. Aeraton-i. G., allowing the air to be
brought into direct contact with the filtered water as
it will be observed there airescapes such all
other filters have. The compressed air in the water
pipes is filtered through the stone with the water
This operation tends to oxidze and aerate the filtered
water, giving life and vigor to it, In all other
filters scientists agree that filtered water has flat
taste to it. Not so in this For these reasons to-
gether with the perfect lock- joint and easy method of
cleaning and taking apart and simplicity of construc
ton these Filters recommended for use in every
household; they have proved great SUCCESS in
Europe and the United States where they are being
sold in great numbers
This lot which came in the "Aloha" is the first
introduced here and ask all friends to
and see the most perfect Filter in

DIR. BUCHANAN REsENTENCED.
10 BE Executed During the Week BE-
ginning July I.

ALBANY, N. Y, May 27-Dr. R. Buch-
anan was arraigned in the court of ap-
peals today and resentenced to death, the
time being set for the week beginning July
1. This is the first time in the history of
the court in which a capital sentence has
been pronounced. District Attorney Fell
lows represented the state. Counsel for the
prisoner represented that the accused was
entitled to new trial on the ground that
Eew evidence had been discovered which
would warrant a verdict of acquittal.
When Judge Andrews asked the prisoner
what he had to say why this court should
not resentence him DR.. Buchanan replied:
Il will say that 1 am entirely innocent
OF the murder of my deceased wife. and
/ firmly protest against this court re-
sentencing me-
"You may sit down. was Judge An
drews' rejoinder, and buchanan took his
seat again. grasping spasmodicaliy the
arms of the chair.
Judge Andrews then addressed the court
while Buchanan leaned forward to catch
every word. The judge briefly reviewed
the history of Dr. Buchanan's case and the
law Which made it the duty of the court of
appeals to reimpose sentence when the
date of execution had been passed without
the mandate of the lower court having been
carried out, and added:
THE conclusion is that n warrant shall
issue commanding the warden to do exc
cution of the sentence heretofore pro-
nounce1 against the prisoner during the
week beginning July L.

Gets Her Divorce.

Judge Cox today granted Mary Ellen
Sackett a divorce fromm Harry A. Sackett
and the custody of their two children
In her application for the divorce, filed
by Mrs. Sackett the 9th of last October,
she stated that they were married at Mt
Clair, N. j.. October 6, 1881. For four
years, she said, they lived happily together,
when he deserted and abandoned her In
four years time he returned. promising to
be all he should, and they removed to this

eighteen months previous to the institu-

STEREOTYPED AND PRINTED.
The Answer Prof. Langley Makes t,
Inquiries About His Flying Machine.

AS every one knows, or ought to know,
Secretary S. P. Langley of the Smith
sonian Institution has long been engaged
in a scientific investigation Of 'aeroplanes,
or mechanical flight Some people would
say that he was emulating Darius Green
in an effort to discover a practicable fly
ing machine.
Naturally a great deal of public interest
attaches to such experiments, and about
once in every so often some newspaper
prints a story to the effect that the sec
retary has at last solved the problem, and
that his machine is a perfect success. Sec
1etary Langley is famous for the amount
Of informa ton that he does not give to
newspaper men, and he Invariably char
acterizes such stories as the figment of
some journalistic ina agination, and as bear
ing internal evidence of their lack of au-
thenticity. He always says that when he
has anything worth writing about in the
matter he will be very glad to give it out
for publication. Then, too, he occasionally
writes technical paper for some scientific
society on the more involved phases of his
work These do not make interesting read
ing for the common herd.
The latest story about Secretary Langley
end his machine comes from New York,
and is to the effect that he tried his in
vention at Quantico last week, and that 1t
made a most successful flying trip of about
LOCO feet, landing without mshap. But
that was not the most surprising feature of
the story, for one imagine a flying
machine flying. The story went into more
detail than that. 1t said that Secretary
Langley and Mr.. Alexander Melville Bell
witnessed it together, and when it sailed
through the air these gentlemen, well past
middle age danced with joy and hugged
each other in their eXuberance like q pair
of schoolgirls.
That is the part of the story that is hard
to believe, so a Star reporter visited the
Smithsonian this morning in search of the
facts in the case" This is what he got:
Sir: The secretary of the Smithsonian
Institution directs me to say that so many
inquiries received about newspaper
statements describing experiments with
aeroplaneS, which the institution is repre-
sented as making, that he takes this
method of explaining that he has never
made any communication of the kind in
question to any newspaper, either officially
or privately. and that all such descriptions
are entirely unauthorized by him. Very re-
spectfully yours
1t was a copy of printed circular which
Secretary Langley had dra wn up some .irle
ago 1t seems that New York paper pub
lished a full description Of the machine and
all its details. 1t read so prettily that one
would have been tempted to think it in
Spired, did he not know the inventor 1t
attracted so much attention that the in
sttution was flooded with letters asking
for fuller information, and the circular,
which resulted forthwith, contains ..all that

AN EXCITING FIGHT.
The County Seat of Charles to Go to
the Winner.

the Winner.
There is an Interesting political fight going
on in Charles county, Nd, and most Of the
political leaders are at Port Tobacco. where
the county court is in session. The election
is to come off on the 4th of June, one week
from tomorrow, and the question to be de-
termined is the location of the county seat.
This has been the source of considerable
trouble in the county during recent years
at election times. and finally the court
house at Port Tobacco was destroyed by
fire. 1t appears that Port Tobacco has now
no special desire to have the court house
located there, but the people of La Plata
and Chapel Point are anxious to get the
county seat, and the county is experience
ing campaign such as it has not seen for
many years.
The democrats Of the county are hope
lessly divided on the county seat question,
while the republicans, led by ex-Congress-
man Sidney E. Mudd, have announced that
they favor Chapel Point. Until few days
ago the republicans did not announce them
Selves and the announcement was made, so
it is said, only after the Chapel Point dem
ocratS had assisted them in getting evil
dence of alleged fraud in the last election
Charles c. Lancaster and F. NJ. Cox, the
latter editor of the Port Tobacco Times,
are booming Chapel Point.
Those who are interested in La Plata
claim that that place is best suited for the
county seat. because of its central loca-
ton, and also for the reason that it is on
the line of the railroad, while Chapel Point
Is several miles from the railroad. and fs
on the river front.
Those interested in the campaign are
hard at work, and will not give up the
fight until all the votes have been cast
At present the leaders on both sides are
claiming that they will win, but the Chapel
Point men say that with the republican
vote they are certain of victory

TWO ELECTION CONTESTS
Gases to Be Brought Before Judge Chi
chester.
The Protests Filed by Messrs. Doug
lass and Hame-COmparisOn With
the Last Election.

The result of the elections in Alexandria
county is still the cause of great deal
of discussion and the end is not in sight
As stated in The Star, Mr.. Will w. Doug
lass, the defeated candidate for common
wealth's attorney, has entered a protest
against the canvassing of the vote in JEFF
ferson district,in which are located both the
race tracks and Jackson City. Mr.. Frank
Hume of this city, the defeated candidate
for board of supervisors in Jefferson dis
canvassing the vote in that district, charg-
ing the grossest kind of fraud.
Both of these contests will come before
Judge Chichester at the June term of the
Alexandra county court and if the counts
are thrown out 1t will result in Mr.. Doug
lass being elected commonwealth's attor-
ney and create vacancy in the board of
supervisors which will have to be filled by
appointment of the judge until the next
election. The contestants have both en-
ployed competent attorneys and are con-
fident that they will be able to bring forth
sufhcient testimony to convince both judge
and jury that fraud was perpetrated.
In speaking of the contests to Star man
To-Day MIR. Douglass said there were no
new developments since Saturday, and Mr.
Hume did not care to talk further on the
subject except to say that he did not want
the office in the first place and only ran
at the instance of and to accommodate
his many friends in the county.
