Honolulu and Oahu and all the
Islands of the group will renew
thanks for deliverance from a
threatened scourge upon reading
the following from the Yokohama
Mail: 1T seems to be pretty clearly
established that the number of vic
tins carried off by cholera i'll the
city of Pekin during the summer OF
this year was fifty thousand. As
suming the population to be seven
hundred thousand, il follows that
one person out of every fourteen
died, and as the epidemic lasted for
two months only, the deaths must
have been over 500 daily, or about
eleven hundred and fifty seizures
per diem, supposing the rate of NOR
tally to have been seventy per
cent. II, further, we note that the
ravages of the disease were compar-
atively little felt in the Tartar city,
the state of affairs that prevailed i'll
the Chinese section presents itselI
in terrible proportions.

THE futile and hopeless war on
opium has taken a new turn and
we find the government tug-the
only towboat of the rort-trans-
formed into a comical cruiser and
boldly steaming through the chan
nels after a mysterious schooner
supposed to carry cargo Of the
coutraband drug. How useless
and ineffective and absurd is the
whole farcical vendetta against this
merchandise. Opium u on put and
call in Honolulu and at all other
places Of demand always the same
from years end to years end, no
matter what the efforts or ruses or
expenditures of the authorities.
Even if this shipment had been
captured, where's the good2 The
traffic would not be even interrupt
ed. The seizure of a dozen
shipments in as many weeks
would not exile the drug.
1t has come in as it was wanted,
and with our extensive coast line
and the clear advantages of the il
licit traders, there is noe the slight
est encouragement for suppression
of the traffic. AS the use Of opium
cannot be stopped, Judgment, bust
ness sagacity, yes, even the tenets
of morality, suggest and dictate that
the effort should be to regulate Tho
importation and sale of the drug by
statute. There would end the costly
absurdity of phantom pursuits and
the treasury would be handsomely
benefited. Under the present sys-
tenor woeful lack of system
there is thieving, lying, tricking
double dealing, corruption, tina
stink when from any view poin
legalized handling of the drug
would be as sweet perfume.

contributed in the neighborhood OF
500, 600 for various proper purposes
and appear cheerfully willing to
give more when it appears to be re.
ally needed. The leader and others
spoke Of methods Of contribution.

The evolution of the water
filter is an interesting study
in ancient times the Romans,
SO Bill Nye declares, used an
ordinary rake in much the
same manner as one rakcs a
lawn nowadays, only they rak-
| ed the water. Then step 10y
step, improvements We're made
until it was possible for a man
to secure glass of water that
was absolutely free from old
boots and other refuse. People
in those days were satisfied
with the primitive filters; they
did not fear the deadly microbe
as much as we do in our day
and perhaps they were happier.
Finally, some inventive genius
i discovered that if water was
allowed to 'percolate through
charcoal all foreign matter
would be extracted. So char
coal filters were made and
found a ready sale. Bye and
bye, it was discovered that it
was more than a task to keep
this filter clean so bright minds
/, looked about for something to
take the place of charcoal and
the Gate City Stone Filter
was the result. This filter is
not a new one by any means
we have sold it since we have
been established in business.
: 1t can be found in nearly every
large business house in town,
+ so no pressing invitation is eX-
tended to call at our store to
inspect it. 1t has been on this
t market for six years or more
and has a reputation. DIR. Ly-
man, the noted physician OF
Chicago, wrote: ut is the best
, filter | have ever seen" And
= to come nearer home, our own
r DIR. Stangenwald gave his APP
proval in the very same words
No chemicals are used in the
Gate City Filter; the fluid
f passes through a piece OF
natural stone. This filter can be
cleaned every day without any
bother; all one has to do is to
brush the stone and then rinse
I. the interior. If by any acct
dent the stone should be bro,

There are Two Principles Involved in the
Use of this Filter:

FRsT. Filtration e., the removal of all nsol-
ube matter from the water rendering it clean and
bright In this the filter is practically perfect
SECOND. Aeration-i e. allowing the air to be
brought into direct contact with the filtered water
it will be observed there ar-escapes such as all
other filters have. The compressed air in the water
pipes is filtered through the stone with the water.
This operation tends to oXdize and aerate the filtered
water, giving new life and vgor to it. In all other
filters, scientists agree that filtered water has fiat
taste to it, Not in this For these reasons to-
gether with the perfect lock joint aud easy method of
cleaning and taking apart and simplicity OF construc-
ton, these Filters recommended for use in every
household; they have proved great SUCCESS in
Europe and the United States where they being
sold III great numbers.
This lot which in the "Aloha" is the first
ever introduced here and ask all our friends to

A special dispatch from Liberty,
N. Y, dated August 9th, to the New
York Press, says: Abner Hornbeck
when seventeen years old, left his
home at Neversink after.a quarrel
with his parents. He started West
to make his fortune, and for twelve
years they knew nothing of him.
Tuesday afternoon he came back
soaked with rain, bedraggled in ap-
pearance and in financial straits.
His parents hardly knew him,
but they welcomed him with open
arms and were happy in his return.
A terrible thunder storm was rag

lightning had killed calf just out

found at the fifteenth chapter Of
Luke. There was black mark
opposite the verse which reads:

and kill it, and let us eat and be

"There is no such thing as law"
was the surprising and comforting
piece of information given by Gov
ernor Clarke, of Arkansas, to the
graduates of the law department of
the Arkansas university last week.
The Governor had just presented
diplomas to the young men, which
the recipients might. suppose were
evidence they knew some law as a
result of several years of study.
Gov. Clarke explained that there
were rules accepted as law, but
these we're so complex in principle
as to render the law myth. Nine
ty per cent. of appealed cases could
be decided either way, he averred,
and lawyers on the bench very fre-
quently divide on the question Of
what is the law.-LegaL Advertiser.
