Timely Topics.
Honolulu, Sept. II, 1895.

Honolulu overbid each other in
extolling the sanitary conditions
of Hawaii's capital and advertis-
ing it as the healthiest and most
beautiful place in the world; we
have done this so often and for
such length of time that we
finally came to believe what we
said and wrote.
The beauty is here but the
recent Epidemic has clearly de-
monstrated that the beauty was
not even "soil' deep. We have
been roughly awakened to find
that the drinking water is i'm
pure and unfit for domestic pur-
poses; that the atmosphere is
polluted; and that the town gen.
orally is in as filthy condition as
any Oriental overcrowded city.
Officials and private citizens
have been aroused and the cpl
demic will cause a thorough
cleansing of Honolulu, the con-
struction of proper sewerage,
and also general sense of the
necessity to adopt for each house
and each individual proper sani-
tary precautions.
We have placed in the market
filter for water taps. 1t is not
everybody who can afford to
purchase water filters but no
house should be without the Tap
Filter The filter will fit all
fin. taps, and the water running
through it will be thoroughly
filtered. All water should be
boiled before using but it is ne
cessary to filter it before boiling,
and for that purpose the Tap
Filter is the most practical and
simplest apparatus. We sell
them for $1.00 each.
Roberts Ozonator which has
recently won great reputation
in the United States is the
surest and cheapest disinfector
known. From the Ozonator is
diflused "Sanitas Vaporizer Mix
ture' which is unequalled as a
germ destroyer, and the smell
of which is pleasant and not
nauseating like other disinfec-
tants. The Ozonator ought to
be placed in all water closets,
bathrooms and other places ex-
posed to an unhealthy air. The
effects Of the Ozonator are anti
septic, disinfecting and deodo-
rizing. In sick rooms, where
the patients suffer from diseases
breeding foul odors, the disin-
fecting apparatus has proven a
boon and promptly destroyed
the foulness of the air. The
Ozonator costs only $500, and
nobody purchasing one will ever
regret the investment.
Besides discussing the above
sanitary goods we will call at
tention to the new Electric Vib-
rating Bell which we sell for the
low price of $3.50. For that
amount the purchaser gets fifty
feet of wire, dry battery, the
vibrating bell and the necessary
staples, etc. The bell is easily
put up and it will prove a great
convenience to people whose
servants live in detached cot
tages, or who wish facilities to
call up their stables, etc. Mer-

The Bulletin says the residents of
the other islands have no more right
than the residents Of King. Queen
and Punchbowl streets, to Oppose
the laws laid down by the Board OF
Health. That is quite true. But
the Government OF the r. public
must enforce its laws and regula-
tions; otherwise pr yate individuals,
whether on Queen street, elsewhere,
or on the other islands, must do as
they please.

An administration which allows
the people of the other islands to
run amuck at their sweet will and to
set at defiance the central govern
ment is hardly apt to inspire conf
dence. A government which has
succeeded in bringing the country
into everlasting trouble with the
great powers who at all hazards
protect their citizens residing abroad
is not wise. But the government
which while boasting of it's strength
and its stability allows lynch law or
at least doesn't prevent it is beneath
contempt

the offensc charged or not is i'm

 The most characteristic feature of this kind of gunning is the string of dories lying out to sea, anchored about a gun shot apart, and usually having two men In each boat. These lines are establish ed at certain points along the coast known to be good stands. The choice ''berths' on such a string would gener- ally be the first six from the shore, which coveted places are the prizes which each dory's crew strains to win in the early morning races for positions; as the best are taken, the boats which arrive later must be taken further out, or can form a second line to the south. etiquette forbidding any boat from an- choring north of the line. The boats take their places and put out wooden decoys before daybreak, and stay out till about ten o'clock when the birds stop flying, beginning again in the after noon, and continuing till sundown. There are thus two trips daily to the shooting line.
 When there are but few coot flying, and these are shy. a cry of "Nor'ardr. runs along the line when a flock Is com ing, to make the men crouch down in the boats till the birds are over their heads; but when shooting is good there is no time or necessity for concealment Nothing seems to check the continual flight of the birds from the north over the boats. They take little notice of the fire of the first line, and give the second nearly equal chance, only ris- ing little higher in the air Then the men occupying the choice berths keep their guns hot pouring lead into the 1ocks as fast as they can fire and load Sometimes the whole line will fire nearly together, followed quickly by the sec- ond, the smoke from frequent volleys hanging in the still air so as nearly to hide the boats.

Caspar W. Whitney Exploring The North
TFrom Harper's WeekIy.l

[From Harpers Weeliy.l
 It is recorded with regret that the partnership of Casper w, Whitney and A. H. H. Fleming, lately formed for northwestern exploration and adventure in the interest of Harper's Weekly, was dissolved on the 7th of January, be- cause of an accident to MT. fleming. MT. fleming writes than on January D., while he and MT. Whitney were travel ing in the bush country, about 300 miles north of Fort Edmonton, he slipped and got a heavy back fall against a pointed log, which resulted in so grave an internal hurt that two days later MT. Whitney, finding that he did not improve, insisted that he should turn back and come home. So MT. fleming is now in bed in Hamilton, Ontario, and writes from there expressing his grievous disappointment at his misfor- tune, and his entire confidence that MT. Whitney would accomplish everything he set out to do.
 After parting from MT. fleming MT Whitney continued north with "a dog team and guide, travelling about thirty two miles a day. He reached Fort Res olution on the south side of Great Slave lake, went on to Fort Rae, on the north side of the same lake, and continued on to Fort McMurray, which the enterpris- ing reader may find on the map of the British possessions if he has a good enough atlas. The Mackenzie river packet, which travels south by dog train 1,S00 miles from the Arctic ocean to the Canadian Pacific railway, came into Fort La Biche while Mr. fleming was laid up there, and reported meeting MT. Whitney half days journey from Fort McMurray. He had turned his ankle, but was pressing on. Later adyices from Fort La Biche tell of his leaving Fort McMurray in good order on his way to Chipawyan. He hoped to reach Atha- basca by January 21, and to proceed from there back to Fort Rae, where he hoped to arrive about February 6. He expected to hunt the musk-ox in the ex- treme north, and to find the wood-bison on the river Hay, about one hundred miles west of Fort Resolution, on his way back. So far as appears MT. Whit neys trip has been highly successful, the only disappointment being the mis- hap to MT. fleming.

Death of Mrs. Goodale-East Haven School
 District-Death of E. J. Daley.
 Mary R., widow of the late Henry B. Goodale, died at her home, No. GA Houston street, Saturday evening, at the age of sixty-f1ve years. She had been i'll for nearly year and a half and for the past eight months had been confined to her bed During the last of her illness she suffered intensely, but bore her pain with patience calmly awaiting the end. Those who cared for her so tenderly wondered at the resolu- tion and the uncomplaining manner with which she bore her sufferings. The deceased was a daughter of the late Willis Talmadge of Fair Haven. Death has four times visited the family In little less than two months. On January 10 the husband of the de- ceased, Henry B. Goodale, died. About two weeks ago Mrs. Goodale lost a sister, Mrs. Orrin Mallory of this place, and a few days later MT. Mallory died both deaths from pneumonia-and now Mrs. Goodale has gone. Brothers of the deceased are Orzo and George Talmadge of Fair Haven and Mrs. Ava Barnes is a sister. Another sis ter, Mrs. Homer Street, died eight years ago. The children of the de- ceased are Elizur Goodale of Hart ford, Mrs. Henry c. Darrow of this place and Willis Goodale of Niantio. Several months ago MT. and Mrs. Oar row moved here from Wallingford to attend their mother and have been unremitting in their tender care. All that skilled physicians and the best nursing could do for a patient was bestowed, but the disease could not be bafffed and day by day the patient grew weaker until death came as a blessed relief from suffering. Mrs Goodale was born in Fair Haven and always resided here. She had been for many years a consistent member of the Grand avenue Congregational church, where her death will be felt as a great loss. Mrs. Goodale was possessed of cheerful and winning disposition and had the faculty of mak- ing many friends, all of whom will mourn her decease. The funeral will be conducted from the late home of the deceased Tuesday at p. m.
