The Land of the People.

There is time in the affairs of men
which if taken at the food, leads on to
fortune.
Every human being who does not, by
this time own piece OF land which be can
call his own, either realize that golden
opportunity is never offered twice to the
same individual or that he is now too
old and care-wOrn to take any interest
in this worlds possesslons-in other
words he is making preparations to
abide in the mysterious realms not
mapped out on this hemisphere.
Ii the ambitious youth would only
abide by what he reads in newspapers
and magazines and the knowledge he
gains from local standpoint, he would
become weather. and wiser as he grows
older.
The farmer not only buys land in
order to own it, but he buys it to culti-
vate the ground; to till the soil; to raise
his family in health where they will not
be obliged to inhale the stlflng stencil
of manufacturing Industries. He buys
it in order to consume the healthy, in
vigorating atmosphere which Will ex-
pand his lungs and circulate the blood OF
his body; he buys it because be is fond OF
raising vegetables and fruits or because
he is 1ond OF raising poultry and last but
known to himself.
There is another class Of people who
are anxious to buy farIn but who have
never heard OF an opportunity. To this
class of people we will say it is only
necessary to write to headquarters.
The largest real estate dealer in the
the United States and headquarters for
farms ID every state in the Union is Mr..
Daniel l.. Kisley OF 211 South Tenth St.,
Philadelphia, Pa, with branch offices at
No. 23 Chambers st. New York City and
No. 2 Washington Ave-, Pleasantville,
N. j.
Fourteen clerks are kept busy at the
Philadelphia Office waiting on purchas-
ers and alloting large blocks OF land to
numerous customers. The reason OF
that is, this firm has large tract OF
land in Southern New Jersey at a place
called Estelle containing an area OF
about LIZ square miles which having
been blocked and surveyed into 5 acre
farms at the popular price OF 500 each
for the entire tive acres has been bought
by hundreds OF different people from all
over the United States.
The land being high, dry and level is
free from rocks and stones and is being
used principally for farming purposes
although a town site having been map
ped out around the railroad station and
a number OF houses having been built, a
great many people intend making a
Summer resort OF the district on account
OF it being only about one hours ride
from Philadelphia. Several architects
are now at work drawing plans for
would-be residents and large number
OF carpenters have already been engaged
by different lot holders. These farms
may be secured by paying one dollar
q week.

Our social.

The hop held at the Red Mems Hall,
last Thursday was thoroughly enjoyed
by the large crowd that attended it.
The dancing was very good. One Of the
principal features OF the evening was the
choice selection entitled 1.-The Race by
Edith Halbert, dressed in the Jocky
costume. She is a fine elecutionist and
won her audiences by her excellent
power OF delivery. Among those present
were the following Misses Edith and
Lulu Halbert, Of Baltimore Miss Belle
Oliver, Denver, Col. Mrs. Jennie Nc

Katie and Master Richard Tongue, Of

Suicide.

For some days past Thos. Ander-
son, coachman to Mrs. Cornwell,
has been threatening to commit
suicide. On Monday night, he
was locked up in the Station House
to sober up. Yesterday morning
he was let out, apparently thinking
better of it, and went to his room.
However at O'Clock in the after
noon he took a gun, and placing
it between his knees, tied string
to the trigger, made loop, and
put it over his foot. He pulled
the string. The gun went off, the
muzzle being in his mouth, and
blew the top and back of his
head completely off. An inquest
was held last evening and the
body buried by undertaken Will
liams. Anderson came here in
1881 on the Quintah (Which brought
the small pox.) He worked as
night watchman at the Pantheon
stables and during the day as a
horse clipper. He saved consider
able money but took i'll and left
for Europe. He returned penni-
less and had been respondent ever
since.
Tom Anderson, Dane, was
born in January 18th, 1858.
The after affect of spree produced
suicidal mania. About a year ago
DR.. McLennan was called in by Mrs.
Cornwell and found him in strict
ure commissions, he was so violent
that he chewed the glass containing
water and attempted to swallow it.
After hard struggle and the use of
the stomach pump he was saved
only to repeat it.now.

The New Seal

: A correspondent offers the follow
ing suggestions to designers on the
Great Seal. He is probably sarcas-
tic in his views. What he writes is
as follows:
The Hawaiian State might be re-
presented by a tall commanding
figure, the face decorated with a
handsome grey beard, but the feat
ures Zen pro6le) having somewhat
Semitic cast, an eagle nose and sal
low complexion.
On the head of the figure is a
regal crown, partly covered, but not
hidden, by transparent veil labell-
ed Republic"
The figure is draped in large
"patent reversible" cloak, throwing
on one side the American flag and
on the other the Hawaiian, so that
either may be displayed and the
other concealed according to emerg-
ency.
To the right of the figure large
open sack marked Hawaiian Treas
ury." A group Of petitioners mark
ed "Alien" each swallowing morsel
marked "Oath" are receiving at the
hand OF the principal figure, coins,
parchments, places, etc. To the
left of the figure group of Hawai-
ians crying for employment. The
central figure offers to them stone
marked "Oath," a closed sack is
marked "No oath, no employment"
or "Swear or starve."

The Hawaiian Band.

While the Hawaii an National Band
was at Kansas City's annual festival
it visited Independence, Mo-, seven
miles from the former place. Zion's
Ensign, the paper issued by the
Reorganized Church of Latter Day
Saints OF Jesus Christ at that place
publishes the following on Oct. 18th:
Independence branch comes in
for goodly share Of the really ex-
cellent once in awhile. Last Sunday
gave evidence of this fact. Seven
members of the Hawaiian National
Band, some OF whom are members
of the church, attended the services
and entranced the audience with
the matchless melody and volume of
their vocal strains. They occupied
place with the choir and made an
impression on the audience that will
never be forgotten. Seldom does a
treat 80 rich fall to our lot. Their
singing was beyond the reach of our
feeble praise, and we only wished
we could always dwell within the
realm of such soul-inspiring and
mellowing cadences. Elder Kane
addressed the Saints for a short
time, and his testimony fell on their
ears like a familiar and pleasant
sound. All were delighted. 1t is
expected that they will favor us
again next Sunday, bringing others
OF the band and few instruments
with them. We wish everybody
could hear them. The band is making
tour of the nation and is now ex-
hibiting in Kansas City,"
And on Oct. 10Th it says:
"One of the leading members OF
the Hawaiian National Band IS. K.
Kamakaia) was baptized on last
Sunday morning by Elder John
Brackenbury, and was confirmed at
the morning service at the stone
chapel.
"Seven members of the Hawaiian
National Band we're present and
sang for public entertainment at the
church on Sunday morning and
evening last At the evening service
there were about twenty OF them
present, only seven of whom sang,
however. They expressed themselves
as delighted with the services.
"Elder Joseph Duff preached
morning and evening last Sunday.
At the evening service an immense
crowd was present, having been at
tracted chiefly by the Hawaiian
singers. They we're we'll rewarded,
too, for the singing, to use an ex-
preston we heard from one present,
was just heavenly"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-10-30

"The claim that the right bank OF
the Cuyuni river belongs to them
does not justify the Venezuelans in
an attack upon the British police.
Until their violent act is atoned for
and ample apology is made they are
in a position of having suddenly re-
moved the dispute from the sphere
diplomacy and challenged its settle
ment by force"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-10-30

We agree with that cordially, but
it seems to us the sentiment doesn't
fit the present case at all. And
we would further remind the Ad-
vertiser that we shall in future
hold up these remarks as it's own
standard of conduct, and trust
that it will not violate it so per-
sistently, as it has done in the
past.

Honolulu, Oct. S5, 1895.

q mOSJ serious ndulleT uullnS
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 a third of the load that the
ordinary mill has to contend
with. This enables it to start
and run in zephyr so light
that all competitors stand idly
by. Again, it's 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 a 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 a price.
We invite farmers and others
who have use for an Aermotor
to call in at our stores, or write

THE MORNING LYRE.

The Psalmist, if we remember
right, sighed for harp of thou
sand strings. The Advertiser doesn't
need it. 1t can play enough tunes
on one string, and that is dyspepsia.
Don't you like Dole's land law'

nauseam. We are told of old that
Narcissus fell in love with his own
reflection in the stream, and truly it
appears as if the Advertiser had be-
come q modern narcissus. Not how
ever, by looking in a stream, but by
self-introspection Of its own stomach
troubles. We have no doubt though,
that on reference to Hollister g. Co.,
Benson, Smith g. Co., the trouble
could be overcome, and that dys-
peptic stirred" feeling it has could
then be removed.
On Monday we published a COM
ment on the Advertisers statement
that "only eleven boarding scholars"
were at Punahou College now. To-
day it publishes the following in a
emi-oficial statement OF the atten-
dance at that college:
"The number in the boarding de-
partment is thirty-fve, twenty being
students."
Yet in its editorial department it
occupies nearly a column headed
circulation of false rumors" in try
ing to assert that we circulate false
rumors. If the "rumor" (7) was
false that there were only eleven
boarders at Punahou (there are only
twenty to-day inclu ding new ones),

The above communication re-
ceived at this Office yesterday is
worthy OF more than passing no.
tice by virtue of the addenda, in
which our correspondent infers,
on what we consider good author
ity, that there are those in the
community who have taken it upon
themselves to circulate false stories
concerning the condition at Puma
hou."
After careful search we cannot
find the "good authority" men,
toned any where else so we sup
pose it must be the Advertiser
itself And that is the paper res
ponsible for the original state
ment 30 it presumably ought to
know.
The sting of our former COM
ments lay in the fact that Professor
Hosmer has been investigated, and
that apparently had led to the
elimination in the number of board
ing pupils. So the Advertiser
says: "Tf any person or persons,
clique or cliques, become parti-
cularly obnoxious by their mis-
demeanors then let their sins, so
far as they inaict injury on
others, be dealt with, but, so long
as the person or persons, clique
or cliques, are quietly going their
way, true to themselves and en-
deavoring to assist their fellow men,
let the mouth of the vendor of
rumors and "casual remarks" be
closed"

Kissing Mother.

A father talking to his careless
daughter said: 81 want TO speak to
you Of your mother. 1t may he that
you noticed a care-worn look upon
her face. OF course it has not been
brought there by any act of yours,
still it is your duty to chase it away.

mother comes and begins to express
her surprise, go right up to her and
kiss her on the mouth. You can't i'm
agine how it will brighten her dear
face.
Besides, you owe her a kiss or two.
Away back, when You were little girl,
she kissed you when no one else was
tempted by your fever tainted breath
and swollen face. You were not as at
tractive then as you are now. Through
years of childish sunshine aud shadows
she was always ready to cure, by the
magic of a mothers kiss, the little,
dirty, chubby hadds whenever they
were injured in those first sklrmishes
