Neal Dow and His Work.

A despatch from London says: Miss
Frances Willard has received from Hon.
Neal Dow of Portland, Me-, letter
which she characterizes as remarkable
from man who has half. finished his
9sd year. He accepts Miss Wizards in
vitation to attend the Baltimore conyen-
tion of the VIC. 7. u, October IS to 20.
He says:
"Two or three days ago came the book

Having committed themselves to the
appointment Of Mr.. Timberlake as bank
examiner some weeks ago, the mem bers
of the Council concluded to stick to
him, and yesterday formally confirmed
his nomination. At the same time the
Governor issued an open letter to Mr..
Tim berlake virtually directing him to
proceed against the Granite State Provi-
dent Association, i'll which it seems to
be suggested that the reason Mr.. Whit
ten WAS not reappointed was because he
had not been active enough in the pursuit
of this corporation. On the heels of
this comes statement from the local
agent OF the association saying that Mr..
Written has been pursuing it for a long
time and that he undertook to get an
act through the legislature compelling
it to largely increase its deposits in this
state, but failed to get favorable report
from the legal. affairs committee. Next
the president is heard from, claiming
that his company is all right and asking
another Investigation. The affair is in
such Il muddle now that intelligent COM
Inent is out OF the question. If Mr.. Whit
tea has been remiss in his duty that con-
situtes d good reason for not reappoint-
ing him though it constitutes no reason
at al for appointing Mr. Timberlake.
But Mr.. Written has yet to be heard
from. Apparently the officers of the
company do not think he has beenEvery
Gcniss in its pursuit.

While Commissioner Roosevelt is en-
forcing the Sunday law in New York
CITY. it is a fact undisputed that in every
other city Of the state of considerable
size the sale of liquor goes on as freely
on Sunday as on, week days. The shades
are drawn and there is less outward ap-
pearance of doing business on that day,
but just as much business is done. In
Brooklyn the back doors of the shops are
open and the Mayor of Buffalo makes
no secret of the fact that the same is
the case in his city. And he furthermore
says that the people appear to approve
Of it. 1t is pretty certain that if the
shops are to remain open in all the
cities of the state except New York it
will not long be possible to keep them
closed there.

Senator PETER of Kansas, who is in
Chattanooga, says that if anymore bonds
are issued he intend to offer resolu-
ton in the Senate to repudiate them.
He says that all other bonds issued by
Mr.. Cleveland were illegal. /" II they
were Illegal, why did you offer your reso-

the senator replied, "the opposition

He thought that Mr.. Cleveland would
urge the retirement of greenback and
treasury notes, and said that this would

Rumors are flying about to-the effect
that the President is thinking OF calling
an extra session of Congress to help out
the treasury. A year ago the Republl-
cans of the House offered the treasury
;lssistan ee, but the administration which
was playing politics, refused, preferring
apparently to rely upon the syndicate.
The syndicate is still standing by the
treasury and the president had betterscon-
tinue to rely upon it until Congress
maats in regular session.

1.-The organization of the school.
Whether it should be entrusted to
one, FIVE, or fifteen directors, or a

2-The course OF study-Whether
it is to be confined to the element

Honolulu, Aug. s6, 1895.

The boys are getting ready for
the regatta which will take place
next month at Pearl Harbor. II
will become 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
si. Gle 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 OH 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 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 26t inches. 1t is the
fastest and easiest running ma-
chine i'll the market and it's 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 a very reason
able figure. Ifyou want to be a
winner ride the Tribune. ;.

When, in the Fifties or Sixties, the
cholera broke out in Paris the dis
ease was ridiculed. It was stated in
all the leading journals that cholera
was "vulgar disease concocted in a
back tenement and nursed by rot
ten fruits and cucumbers." Cholera
however, broke out and at grand
ball in the opera nearly two hundred
cases occurred. Then gay Paris
stopped smiling and had the cholera.
We believe that President w. o.
Smith is doing all in his power to
stop the disease. This is not the
time to discuss what could have
been done before to secure the con-
ditions of the country. Criticism in
regard to the work of the Board of
Health can safely be postponed un-
