Trying the New Fire Hose.

The Fire Department turned out
Wednesday night and tested the water
pressure up on the corner of Good
Hope and Sprigg streets. A stream
of water was thrown over seventy feet
high. The force of the water is such
that the nozzle holder can stand a
distance of one hundred feet away and
completely cover a building with
water. The Fire Department is now
fixed for fighting fire and from now
on we will not be at the mercy of the
flames as We were before the COM
pletion of the water works.

CLEVELAND HOLDING OUT,
Has Not Yet Made a Return on His
Income Tax.

Income Tax.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-President
Cleveland and every member of his
Cabinet have thus far failed, it is
stated, on reliable authority, to make
returns under heincome tax law. Mr..
Cleveland is waiting for the decision
of the Supreme Court, which may de-
clare that both he and the judiciary
are exempt from the operation of the
act.
An interesting question is said to
have arisen in the Presidents mind.
He still claims New York City as his
residence, but is understood to be in
doubt as to the district in which he
should pay his income tax.
1t is rumored that the court will de-
clare the law unconstitutional, and
that the Administration has had I'M
official notification of this fact.

Utica's Unique Tollgate.

Utica enjoys the doubtful distinction
of being probably the only city in the
United States which has a tollgate
within its boundaries or anywhere near
it, for that matter. The old days oftoll
roads and tollgates have passed away,
and it is wellthatthey have. The COM
pany which maintains the Deerield
gate has legal status that cannot be
done away with without the consent of
those who own the property. The last
legislature passed an enabling act
which makes it posi- blefor the parties
interested to do away with the toll
gate, and it is something to which the
attention ofthe authorities may proper
ly be directed. Press.

Charged with Raising Treasury
Notes.

POPLAR BLUFF, Mo-, April g.
Deputy United States Marshals Quayle
and Fitzpatrick this afternoon brought
James Mabery, Mort Maybery and
Wat Coleman to this city and lodged
them in Jail. The men were arrested
in Carter County, and are charged
with raising 81, 81 and S. Treasury
notes to tens, twenties and fifties. A
number of the altered billswere passed
upon the people of Carter County,
and the work done by the prisoners,
as shown by raised bill found in
their possession, is, though clumsily
done, quite likely to deceive but the
most careful handler of money. The
prisoners waived preliminary examin-
alton and were bound over to the Fed
eral Grand Jury in the sum of 5000.

EDITOR STAR, Honolulu--Dedr
Sir: The New York SIN of Nov.
90 published an article headed
MRS. Youmans' Will lost" and
seeing some mistake which l
am able to correct | take this OPP
portunity of doing SO.
Mrs. Youmans, nee Catherine
Newton was my first cousin and
her first husband was the Hon.
Judge William Lee, a second cousin
OF ours, to whom she was married
aboard the ship on which she had
sailed to meet him at the Sandwich
Islands, whether he had gone for
his health in company with Charles
r. Bishop a friend from Glenn's
Falls n. Y.
The article says: Relatives of
whom she never spoke and to
whom it is believed, she devised
nothing, claim the estate, and that
she had expressed her intention of
endowing various institutions &c.
Now, l know that my cousin Mrs.
Youmans did know our uncle
James Newton (now living in
Cleveland, Ohio), whom you have
mistakenly called John" Newton
which was my fathers name.
He was at her fathers house
many and many time when she
lived at home with her father Daniel
Newton a grain Spectator in AL
bany, N. Y, who owned splendid
mansion Oil Albany Hill in which he
resided with his family. Seeing he
was going to fail in business, he
made over to his daughter Catherine
Newton, the only child Of his first
wife, all estate which afterward he
told me was worth $50, 900.
| often saw my cousin Catherine
when she came on visits to our
family when we lived in Washing
ton County near Sandy Hill on one
of my grandfather's Major Brad
shaw farms, known as the Old
Bradshaw place.
Knowing her as l did, l cannot
understand her saying she had no
kinfollls. l cannot believe it. l
remember she once said that she
detested the making of wills. My
uncle James, who lives i'll Cleve-
land, o., and his sister my aunt
Lucy Ladd who lives in Otsego
County, N. v, are the only living
children of her grandfather New
ton. Three of the other children
died leaving heirs who will claim a
share in Mrs. Youmans' estate.
These facts are we'll known to many
people in the vicinity Of Albany,
her former home.
Respectfully Yours,
WILLIAM PERKINS NEWTON.

HIS STURDY SOLDIERS.
ADDRESS OF EMPEROR WILLIAM IL.
TO his ARMY.
Earnest Words of Praise-Oak Leaf Dec
oration-The Honor of
Germany.

Following is the address COM
plete of the German Emperor to his
soldiers:
For the twenty-fifth time the
Memorial Day comes around of the
great war which was forced upon
the Fatherland, and which, after a
path of victory without parallel,
brought a glorious ending, fulfilled
Germanys lodgings and as the
noblest recompense for her sacri-
fees created an unspeakable foun-
dation for her greatness and wei
fare in the federation Of her princes
and people. With touched heart,
| glorify the mercy of the Almighty
that he blessed our arms in such
measure of full sympathy.
think of those who, in the sac
rihcial strife for Germany's honor
and independence joyfully yielded
their lives, and | express renewed
thanks to all those who co-operated
to attain this end, but | especially
tender my thanks to my army,
which, together with the troops of
my illustrous allies, strove to ex-
Gel in heroic deeds. If its bravery
is inextinguishable, the CLEAN Of
its deeds on the pages OF history is
everlasting, and round its colors is
twined wealth OF glory. Upon
it, before all, the duty falls Of pre-
serving the memory of that time
among the generations enjoying
the fruits of its victories.
To this end | ordain, in
order to grant my troops a
visible symbol Of their proud
memories, that from May 10
to July IS, 1895, whenever the
colors and standards to which my
grandfather, the great Emperor and
King, granted distinction for par
ticipation in this war are displayed,
they shall be decorated with oak
leaves and that the first guns of
those batteries which fought in the
contest snail be wre6thed with
similar leaves.
May my army remain ever mind
full that only the fear Of God, iidel-
lity and obedience, can render it
capable Of deeds such as those that
made its own and the Fatherland' S
greatness.

Captain Larsen visited the bar

leaving the army. Captain Good
consented to surrender the deserter.
