DEATH OF FATHER CHARLES
Hilo's Revered Pastor Has Gone to
His Last Home.
Communicated


On Tuesday, the 3Oth OF April
last, at twenty minutes to FIVE o'clo *
in the evening, the noble and gifted
soul OF Rev. Father Charles, the
venerable Catholic priest OF Hilo,
passed peacefully from earth, thus
closing life full OF merits before
God and man. Forty-nine years
have passed since Father Charles,
imbued with the spirit of an apos-
tolic missionary, began his great life
work in the wilds OF Hawaii. Dur
ing that long period he devoted
himself most assiduously to the
labors OF the holy ministry, never
faltering or wavering, although the
most trying difficulties and obstacles
at times beset his path, and we'll did
he prove himself a truly faithful
laborer in the Lords vineysrd, for,
during that long sojourn OF his in
this, for missionary, very enervating
field OF labor, he not once left off
the good work he had begun to seek
what might have been considered a
much needed rest or change abroad.
Almost Immediately after his arrival
in Honolulu on March rs, 1916, he
proceeded to the island OF Hawaii.
After having made the round OF that
island several times on foot, a mode
OF travelling which in those days
must have been attended with great
difficulties, Father Charles began,
by order OF his superiors, to estab-
lish permanent mission in the little
town Of Hilo 1t was his exceptional
privilege to be blessed with health,
strength, and length OF years to
begin, to direct the progress, and to
witness the completion Of this grand
undertaking which is a monument

Serious charges, affecting the
character OF certain officers OF the
Hawaiian army, are said to have
been made and that the parties
affected will be court. martialed.
The BULLETIN has been aware OF
this for three days past but, in the
hope that the financial embarrass-
ments from which the charges have
arisen may be- amicably settled, has
refrsined and still does from even
mentioning names Of the parties
concerned.

The chartering OF the steamer
Lehua as q revenue cutter is amusing
people. To hire vessel that can.
not cut through the water faster
than seven knots an hour seems ridi-
culous to a man up tree, esp scially
wien the object is 10 chase schooners
which can sail all around it with
half wind, to use a nautical OK
preston. There is a certain little
schooner in port, or at least it was
an hour or so since, for which, SO it
is reported, the Lei ua is lying in
wait outside. That little schooner
with a fair wind can sail all around
the Lehua. II We are to have a
revenue cutter give us a twenty
knot beat or none at all. 1t will not
cost much more in the long run.

Yesterday witnessed one of
the quietest elections ever held
in Honolulu or elsewhere. 1t
was a good deal like some of
the elections in the South
American republics where you
always vote the government
ticket or stay away from the
polls. Although only M
votes were cast, that number
was even larger than was ex-
pected.
Talking about the election,
however, reminds us that we
have just received a novelty in
the shape of a newly invented
can opener, which is simplicity
itself. 1t is called the A. &C.,
and we are the only firm hand
ling them. This can opener is
different to any other in use.
1t takes the entire top of the
can off with a single turn Of
the wrist. All you have to do
is to lay the machine on the
top of the can, strike a little
wooden knob similar to those
used in opening soda-water
bottles and the can opener does
the rest. There is no poSSibil-
ity of injurins the hands or
losing your temper.
Did we hear anyone call out
"rats?" We thought we did,
and that brings to our mind
another novelty in the shape of
French rat trap. This is a
family concern and will accom-
modate whole. families of these
pestiferous rodents. Mr.. Rat
walks into the trap until he
reaches a little platform which
gives way under his weight
and he is caught before he
knows where he is, being
landed in an entirely different
compartment to that which he
first entered. Mrs. Rat follows
to see what the old man was
doing out so late at night and
soon joins him. We have
caught ten rats in one night in
one of these traps. They must
be seen to be appreciated.
This warm weather makes
one think of ice-cream and
an ice-cream freezer that
will suit a small family is
a deSideratum. We have just
imported a new style of freezer
which cannot fail to commend
itself by its usefulness. 1t is
provided with a heavy cap
which fits tightly over the re-
ceptacle holding the cream,
and is so constructed as to re-
quire less ice, less salt and less
time in freezing. If you want

PUBLIC WORKS.
Frank Harrigan Objects to the Me-
thods of the Notwithstanding
Contracts.

The meeting of the board of public
works yesterday afternoon gave Con-
tractor Frank Harrigan a chance tC
make a kick 1t appears that last week
he and Contractor Sullivan made bids
ON some work, consisting of a sewer
in the northern portion of the city,
and the flushing of the gravity sewer
outlet. Sullivan was announced as the
winner in the latter case. while Har-
rigan got there in the former.
But yesterday the board, after look
ing over the bids, decided that Sulh-
van was the best bidder. To this Har-
rigan makes a complaint, and will
have the matter brought up before the
board at its next session. 1t appears
that while Sullivan was the lowest bid
der i'm one case that Harrigan had
thirty-fve days the best of the time.
1t costs more to do a job in a short
time than in a long one. and here is
where Harrigan complains. irasmuCh
as Sullivan is only so lower than he.
Harrigan, when he heard of the mat
ter, at once looked up a member of the
board and received from him the as
surance that the case would be re-
opened.
At the meeting of the board one bid
which was received for the taking care
of the sewage from the sewer, was
opened. AS there was no more than
one, the board decided to hold the mat
ter open for a short time longer. AS a
result the name Of the bidder and the
amount of the bid were withheld from
the public until the board shall have
taken some action.

Interference of their father.
Now. concerning that meeting re-

my recollection, one word said about
Democrats, Republicans or politics.
Joseph Z. Smiths remarks were upon
The same subject that the apostles had

hood in its various orders and quo
runs. And when a man was appoint
ed to the apostleship or presidency. or
in any office, as a teacher of the peo-
pie, it placed on him a very grave re-
sponsibility; and no man was counted
at liberty, from the organization of the
church, to engage in any branch of
business, politics or anything else to
take him entirely away from his call
ing, business, duty or responsibility
for q length of time without first
cOunseling with the presidency Of the

so. This order has rested upon US all
alike This has been my position for
sixty years of my life, al, that, too.
without interfering with my manhood.
And this course does not require a
man to give up his position in the
Democratic party or in the Republi-
can.
Every man has his own free agency
He has the right to withdraw from his
quorum, or the church, if he wishes.
But while he remains in his quorum,
or in the church. we think he should
be subject TO the same rules that we
are ourselves. But that duty does not
require any man to withdraw from
the Democratic or Republican party,
or give up his political principles.

An excellent trio was rendered by
Miss Hanna HalvorSon. Mrs. Christy
and Mrs. Andersen, which ELECTED
hearty applause.
The next speaker was the old war;
horse c. G. Johnson who. in mas
terly manner, discussed the many Re-
publican arguments published in pa
pers and pamphlets by the Scandina-

Mr.. Morris offered Wibaux 5000

This the ranchman refused, and
when the fall came on began shipping
the cattle by the thousands. When
the account ran up to $4,000 the
