CHARITY AT HOME.
0lowalu Party Donates $50 and
Stops Payment of Draft.

Speaking of people changing
their minds" said a person inter.
ested in the work of the Hawaiian
Relief Society yesterday, "a case
came to my notice few days ago,
when number of subscriptions
amounting to $3.50 came down
from Maui for the work of reliev-
ing needy Hawaiians. Enclosed
in the same letter was a check for
$50 from a party at Olowalu.
Every one at the central depot of
the society was jubilant over the
receipt of the money. Suddenly
there came a letter saying that
charity begins at home,' and as
cholera might break out in Maui,
it had been deemed best to write
the bankers here requesting them
not to honor the check" 1t is
thought the sender feared the five
days quarantine of the Honolulu
Board of Health would he en-
forced, and as citizens of Maui are
of the opinion that longer length
of time is necessary, the cholera
epidemic might spread to that
place. In that event Hawaiian
Relief Society would be formed
there and the $50 used for charity
at home"

Among the mail sent by the
Claudine last night were the fol-
lowing letters to Sheriffs Hitchcock
and Andrews by w. o. Smith,
President of the Board of Health
The protests from Kona, Hamakua
and Hama have been so urgent, and
the conditions here have so changed for
the better, that the Board of Health
has decided to order that the cargoes
on vessels which we allow to sail from
here with clean bills of health may be
landed at any port without hindrance.
This community has worked inces-
santly-done tremendous work, hun.
dreds of men have been at it night
and day-the doctors have done splen-
did work, and the epidemic is at an
end.
OF course, we know that q case
or cases may again appear, but
We do not fear it now as
we did. We preserve all our machin-
cry and are ready at any hour, night
or day, to go for any case or any point
of danger.
Systematic inspection and disinfec-
tion is maintained.

ceased to be the exceptional man. when II
will be considered AS important that

educated men in the professions, before

first essential for the attainment OF this

called the dirty hand employments and
correspondingly decreasing number to

LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.

1t has remained for Senator Grady, of
Philadelphia, to afford corporation influ-
enCes the greatest shock of the present
session. He has introduced a bill which
provides for the inspection and supervS-
ion of heat, light and power companies.
1t provides for an inspector at IA salary
of $1,000 per year and six assistants at
$1,000 annually, one being a chemist and
one an electrician. The electric standard
shall be known as the Pennsylvania unit
and shall be fixed at 1000 Watts hours.
The maximum price for electricity shall
not exceed II cents per Pennsylvania
unit. In connection with the insurance
commissioner and the director of public
safety in Pittsburg and Philadelphia, the
chief inspector shall form rules for the
government of these corporations This
bureau will also fix the price. Each gas,
heat or light company must furnish a
map of the district in which it operates
The final paragraph of the bill reads:
"Only one of each of the companies de-
scrbed shall occupy and supply light,
heat or power to the public in the district
described in their charter and shown on
their map, except when two or more
operate in the same territory at the pas
sage of this bill. All applications for

THE HIDDEN SONG.

Der blooming miles of hills and dales
The wind comes from the south,
The fragrance of a myriad wales
Is borne upon its mouth;
Yet there's one flower best loved of all
Its lips have kissed while straying,
And: Sweetheart,
Sweetheart,
Sweetheart!'
hear the zephyr saying.
With many a leap and tuneful turn
The brook runs through the void,
BY shadowed moss and quivering fern
Oer the sands that CLEAN like gold.
In one fair dell it fingered long
TIL hid its carol ringing:
ooh Sweetheart,
Sweetheart,
Sweetheart"'
hear the brook still singing,
Let breeze and brook, melodious twain,
Loves loyal heralds be,
And may their murmuring refrain
Incline thy heart TO me.
BY day and night-through joy and pain
| see thy sweet eyes beaming;
Oh, sweetheart,
Sweetheart,
Sweetheart!
OF thee my heart is dreaming!

Take the Kirmess a Grand Success.

That is the most gracious form of
philanthrOphy which ministers to
human beings in distress. 1t is well
enough to prevent or to alleviate cruel
ty to dumb beasts. Those charitable
agencies which have this as their mis-
sion sre worthy of cordial praise. But
we think it will be conceded that the
cruelty to man are Of superior import
ance, and that they should receive
priority in the list of ones material
Eenefactions.
The general announcement of q
kirmess soon to be held in our city has
already informed readers of The Trb-
une that the proceeds of this interest
ing and instructive purposed entertain
ment are to go into the badly depleted
treasury of the Lackawanna hospital
Iut has the casual reader of this an
nounccment ever paused to reflect upon
what significance there is in it? Has
be given due thought to the almost
inestimable value of a well-emipped
IbolJlAttl ueilth Ilttil " Allt DuSN streets
of this large city, and in speedy COM
munication with the scene of any run
away, street carcOllision or other serious
accident? Does he appreciate the ey-
tent to which such a hospital, at all
times open to the unfortunate. relieves
human suffering Of the most critical
and poignant kind; enables men with
out other resources to receive. at such
periods of urgent and intense need,
sklful attention by expert physicians,
surgeons and nurses, and in a thousand
ways stands between misfortune and
physical agony if not outright death?
1t is customary with most of us to
pass lightly over these cases of ply
sical afliiction so long as they are con-
fined to other people. Almost anybody
can suffer vicariously and feel quite
comfortable while doing so. But If
those who read these lines would re-
member the tremendous energy of some
personal pain of their own--a severe
case of toothache, for instance, or a
scald or burn or sprain-and apply the
lesson of it to those daily cases of ply
steal suffering which free public hos
pital treats, relieves and cures, we
should not doubt the entire and hearty
success of the forthcoming charitable
entertainment in the rockingham
theater, the proceeds of which will go
toward enlarging and further equipping
the now inadequate single free hospital
in this immense community.

The patriotic Americans who propose
to erect monument to the memory OF
General Richard Montgomery, who was
killed in the assault ON Quebec during
the revolutionary war, have set before
themselves and the country a worthy OBJ
tect. The Canadian government con-
sents to the erection of such monu-
ment on the spot where General Mont
gomery fell, and it is expected that suf-
ficient funds will be collected to build a
handsome memorial shaft with appro-
pirate surroundings.
