the late epidemic of what vital
Importance pure water is to all
human beings. While our me-
dical men have differed in OPT
Mon in regard to the nature
and treatment of the epidemic
which now fortunately is ended,
there has only been one opinion
in regard to the imperative
necessity Of having an am
pie supply Of pure water
for all purposes. In Homo
lulu the water supply is now
plentiful both for drinking pur-
poses and for irrigation. The
same cannot be said for the
country districts. In many
places it is necessary for the in
habitants to carefully save rain
water in tanks especially where
artesian wells are impossible.
1t has been a great help to
people living in the country
that we have introduced the
celebrated Aermotor in these
islands. Many people have
availed themselves of the golden
opportunity to purchase one of
our galvanized Aermotors, and
they have in all instances ex-
pressed themselves as highly
satisfied with the bargain.
The Aermotor is especially
appreciated because it runs in
the lightest wind. Being geared
back three to one, it starts with
only third of the load that the
ordinary mill has to contend
with. This enables it to start
and run in a zephyr so light
that all competitors stand idly
by. Again, its lightweight and
perfect bearing enable it to face
up to and get the full benefit of
the breeze. The wheel is so
light and its efficiency so great
that it is an absolute calm in
deed which induces it to stand
still.
The lightweight of the Aer-
motor is a strong point in its
favor. The weight affects the
cost of transportation; the ease
of handling and erection; the
facility of turning on the tower
to face the wind for work; the
regulation for safety in a high
wind; the recovery of working
position when danger is past;
the sagging of the tower out of
shape; the vibration and break
ing of the tower in storm
and consequently the weight.
strength and cost of tower and
foundations. The Aermotor
only weighs about two-fifths as
much as the other mills which
do the same work. The great
disparity in weight is in part
made possible by the use Of
steel, malleable iron, and the
very best materials throughout,
and explains why so excellent a
piece of work can be turned out
at so low price.
We invite farmers and others
who have use for an Aermotor

The one significant item in to-
days foreign news is the telegram
from Chicago published on the
morning of the Mariposa's departure
stating that President Cleveland had
agreed on plan of annexation,
which was to he submitted to the
electorate Of the Republic. What
this later expression really means if
the item be true--is the cruz of the
situation. Who are to be the cleo
tors? Those who know Cleveland's
past feelings ou the Hawaiian ques-
ton claim that it means the whole
people here, irrespective of oaths,
formerly entitled to vote. But what
ever it means or doesn't mean, If it
is correct, Cleveland has played a
card that will cut the ground from
under the feet Of the Repu ,lican
party.

Albert Lucas, until recently clerk
in the Waterworks, was arrested to-
day on charge of embezzlement of
public moneys. Mr.. Lucas who has
been on visit to San Francisco, re-
turned by the Mariposa this morn

For mixing OF metaphors and cou-
fusion of ideas the names Of Sir
Boyle Roche and Mrs. Malapr"p
have long been celebrated. To
these two a worthy third has bee n
found to make a triad, 1t is the
Pacific Commercial Advertiser of
Honolulu. Listen to this, taken ger
batin, ct kteratim, from its editorial
fount of wisdom: "The millennium
has not dawusd on this or any other
country. The members of domi-
nant class are always inclined TO get
between each others legs and not
look out for the rivers which are be-
yond." Let any ordinary sane man
study this for few minutes, aud if
he doesn't get more hopelessly en-
tangled over it than on the fifteen
puzzle, we will present him with a
bicycle and not even ask him for a
coupon in return.

We have waited for the Stars
"small farmer" long while. But
we are now happy. The Star as
sures us "he is coming" Then
again we are sad when we are told
"His appearance may be delayed by
the circumstances of distance and
facilities of travel" If that was all
that will delay him we wouldn't
mind. What about no cheap land, no
roads, and no market after he starts
to raise anything2 Those will delay
him much more than the other CUFF.
The foreign outlook is reassuring.
Turkey on the Armenians is once
more to the front and there seems
to be no Russian on China any
more. As for Venezuela, we are
gravely informed that apparently it
will be unnecessary to ask for the
Monroe doctrine or any other aid
from the States as all the Vene-
zuelan Government needs to do is to
send clerk to the telegraph Office
and send telegram and the message
will promptly expel the British as
soon as the wire can take it.

with her duke, with the pretty bridesmaids
scattering blossoms In their path, came

away in their coaches to the wedding break
fast with pomp and pageantry-that same
day another procession was watched by a
World reporter.
1t was also bridal procession. The bride
was dressed in white robes and upon her
brow there was the band OF a holy order.
She rode with the bridegroom Death in
plain, cheap coffin. in q sable hearse. There
were no flowers, no cmblems. The single
carriage that followed the hearse contained
four placid-faced nuns. A few passers
stopped to watch the little corsagc as 1t
crossed Broadway: cable car waited for
the hearse to pass and dashed on in front
OF the carriage, and then the cortege had
passed out OF sight, the peaceful bride
toward the far country.
