Why the Star man should have q
grudge against the Rev. IL W. Peck
of the sharpshooters' company is
none OF our affair. But, it would be
cruel, we think, to send him out
with his lone rifle and his record
into the middle of "a mob OF barb
arisns armed with spears, swords
and clubs" He mightn't kill them
all before his ammunition ran out
This case is respectfully laid before
Agent Green of the Society for the
prevention OF cruelty to animals.

The most sensible observations on
the origin, spread, and nature of the
virulence OF our epidemic that have
yet appeared are to be found in this
mornings Advertiser from the pen
of Honolulu's veteran journalist, H.
M. Whitney. He gives hope, from
fifty years experience, here that our
benoficent air and trade winds have
and will further reduce its danger
until, by the present vigorous efforts
OF the Board of Health, it is stamp
cd out altogether. And he is, and
always has been, both sensible and
an observant man.

Timely Topics.
Honolulu, Aug. S6, 1895.

The boys are getting ready for
the regatta which will take place
next month at Pearl Harbor. 1t
will be one of the finest races
ever seen in Honolulu. Every
body in fact is racing now. The
boat clubs are racing. Horses
for the Waianae meeting are in
training to race. The disin-
fectors are racing the comma
bacillus. People all over the
country are raising h allelujah
on account of cholera, fumiga-
ton, quarantine and no quaran-
tine. The "Claudine" is to race
the "Monowai" and advance re-
ports of our cholera. And the
bikers in town are getting their
wheels ready to race away from
the whole business.
And it is to the same bikers
that we want to talk to-day.
We have got the best racing
wheel manufactured in the
United States. THE TRIBUNE
CYCLE has gained a reputation
not enjoyed by any other racing
cycle. The numerous good qua
lities of this light, elegant,
though solid wheel, have re-
ceived the highest praise from
everybody competent of judging
of the good points of the fin de
siecte racer.
The Tribune Wheel is built
by the Black Manufacturing Co.,
at Erie, Penn, and it has given
universal satisfaction to the
riders who have tried it during
the last years. Some very valu-
able improvements have been
added to the original Tribune
Cycle.
The Cycloidal Sprocket has
met an enthusiastic approval
from all 'connoisseurs. There is
no additional friction with the
'Cycloidal Sprocket, no matter
how great the power applied, the
chain simply pulls direct and
squarely on the face Of the teeth
and the power is freely impaired
to the wheel. This is the rea-
son that the Tribune Bicycles
have earned a reputation for
their smooth and easy running.
We have sold a number of the
Tribunes in town, mostly racers;
and we advise the boys who
want to enter the races, now con-
templated, to secure one of these
superior wheels. The Tribune
Racer weighs only eighteen (18)
pounds, and the depth of frame
is "a or 264 inches. 1t is the
fastest and easiest running ma
chine in the market and its ad-
vantages in sprinting are be-
yond all question. Racing men
who have tried it once cannot
be induced to ride without it.
We invite the cyclers of the
town to call in and inspect the
machine which we offer with a
complete outfit at very reason
able figure. If you want to be a
winner ride the Tribune.

one. In order to meet all cases, and
give everyone an equal chance, all
Government notices should appear
in every newspaper in Honolulu, in.
whatever language published. And
II any paper appears on the other
islands it should also get its notice.
Heretofore, the greatest sinner in
this respect has been the Supreme
Court. II publishes its notices
which are supposed to be to the
publc-in a newspaper which the
progress OF events has put 80 out OF
date that no one reads it ON these
islands-except when they think
there is legal notice pertaining to
themselves. The result is, in all cases,
that what is legally termed "public
notice" has really become farce.
More people in many cases, both
pertaining to the legal and execu-
tive branches o. the Government,
would hear more about the matter
by a written poster stuck on the
front wall of the Post Office.

this ought to give everyone working

we object. Fumigate your wagon

not leave it on the public street.

didn't die. For that reason sulphur
is no good against cholera. Now, it

would kill mosqultos-or even ii the

"It is especially in a TINA Of visi-
tation that the offices OF religion
have more than anything else
calming, tranquillizing influence on

SOLDERING influence on those inclined

That is quite correct. But our

want to be calmed or tranqu llzed-
or even sobered. At least, they
have prevented others from being
so. Religious congregating seems
to be dangerous Not so any Other
