Mr.. A S. Cleghorn has been in err
viewed in New York. Mr. Wode-
house didn't go to Washington. On
these topics the ADVERTISER has
printed the ususl rumors. Qt I'd
to object the to other papers print
ing rumors, itself now is the chief Of
fender in that respect.) The Star
can only find in regard ito Mr.. Cleg-
horns statements that, the govern
ment here is a military despotism;
that business is bad; that the peo-
pie of the country would vote four
to one to restore the Queen, e. c., the
argument that it would be as easy
to say the reverse. We'll, talk is

decide that it will be wiser to post

The Kauai people anow that there
is cholera in Honolulu. They know
that in proportion to our population
the disease has taken rather serious
dimensions and that the death rate
is a much higher percentage OF the
cases than experienced elsewhere.
They also know that the cholera was
brought here by the steamer Belgic.
That in spite Of quarantine, the
Board of Health, the Honolulu doc
tors, our alleged excellent sanitary
system, our police and Colonel
Mclean, the cholera filibustered
ashore and has taken hold of Homo
lulu.

NECESSITY VS.. LAW.

Mr.. Rufus Spalding may be cor
rect when he says that the residents
Of Kauai have no legal right to pre-
vent passengers from Honolulu to
land on Kauai when they come with
the, approval and permission of the
Hawaiian Government. Mr.. Spald-
ing is undoubtedly correct in his
view as far as the law is concerned,
but it seems to us that he should be
the last to blame his friends ON
Kauai from. adopting all possible
measures Of preventing the spread of
the disease to that island.

New Sort of Poker.

A new variation of poker has sprung
up. 1t deals out the entire pack in equal
numbers to ali players. If five are play
ing, for example, each will get ten cards
at the start. If seven are playing, each
gets seven, the three cards left over be-
ing put aside. Then, instead of draw
ing, each player discards as he likes
from his hand, so that he shall have five
cards to play with, making the best
hand possible out of those dealt him.
Hands are apt to run high IN this sort
of game. It is called peculiar.
A poker game in which six cards were
dealt, disc1p1s and draws being so reg
alatsd thaf only FIVE cards constituted
the final hand, has been known for some
time, but this is'a further development
of that idea. It's said to have originat-
ed along the shores of Long Island. -

A SWEET YOUNG FACE.

Along the noisy city ways
And in this rafting city car,
On this the dreariest Of days,
Perplexed with business fret and Jar.
When suddenly young, sweet face
Looked on my petulance and pain
And lent It something of its grace
And charmed it into peace again.
The day was Just as bleak without,
My neighbors just as cold within,
And truth was just as full Of doubt,
The world was just as full Of sin.
But In the light Of that young smile
The world grew. pure, the heart grew
warm,
And sunshine cleaned little while
Across the darkness Of the storm.
I did not care to seek her name,
only said, "God bless thy life,
Thy sweet young grace be still the same,
Or happy maid or happy wife,

 Why do tens of thousands of women write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass, telling their most secret thoughts :?
 Because they know that their letters go straight to the hands of woman, are opened, read, and answered by woman, who as woman has made woman's ills life study, and because she never fails them, and cures cases which the doctor cannot.
