Good Advice TO Working People.


A practical method Of teaching the
poor to help themselves has been hit
upon by the committee on charities of
the Washington board Of trade. 1t Is
In the way OF suggestion. The com.
mittee has had five thousand cards
printed with a plain statement Of the
need Of saving something each week
from the unusually good wages Of the
summer to meet the heavier expenses Of
the winter season. Advice is cheap, but
the suggestion that something should
be saved ahead, and Instructions as to
the best manner of saving, may come,
1t Is thought, into the hands Of some
who will profit by the counsel, and who
will be better prepared 10 care for
themselves without help through the
cold weather on account Of the fore
sight Of o wise committee. The cards,
which are to be distributed among the
poorer classes, read as follows: 1.-THE
committee Of charities Of this board
call the attention Of oil persons ot
small means to the fact that there are
in Washington several saving institu.
lions, managed by some Of our most
reliable business men, which are ready
to receive as small amounts on deposit
as ten cents, and will allow interest on
all sums Of five dollars or more. There
are still many weeks left In this year;
a little self-denial now will enable most
everyone to deposit fifty cents per
week, amounting to over thirteen dol
lars with accrued INTEREST," by January
1 next, which will in most cases pay
for the fuel for next winter" This ex-
cellent advice cannot be too widely cir.
culated, In faet, the plan herein pro-
posed possesses sufficient merit to rec
ommend It to the entire nation.

His Claim for Damages Not Rec
ognized by American Govt.
NO MENTION OF CITIZENSHIP.
Secretary Olney Says 1t Is a Matter for
the Hawaiian Courts to SettIe-Judge
Whiting Decides an Appeal Assump-
sit Case in Favor Gazette Company.

Yesterday was an off day for
Frank Godfrey. Minister Willis
called at the Foreign Office in the
morning and informed Minister
Cooper that the United States had
refused to take action on a claim of
$4,000 damages made by Godfrey
to the American Secretary of State,
the same being an outcome of the
recent tar and feathers occurrence.
Godfrey's communication for
damages contained two complaints,
one being that he was detained at
the cholera hospital twenty-four
hours longer than the period gen
orally observed. The second stated
that in September last he was
assaulted by masked men and
tarred and feathered by them.
Afildavits substantiated the second
charge.
The Hawaiian Government was
informed by Minister Willis that
the first charge made by Godfrey
was not sent to Washington, having
been dropped here. So far as the
second charge is concerned, the
American government made reply
that it was a matter solely for the
local courts to act upon, and that
the complaint would not be given
recognition at Washington. No
mention was made of citizenship,
but it is believed the American
government is cognizant of the fact
that Godfrey has subscribed to the
oath of allegiance to the Republic
and is qualified voter under its
laws.
Judge Whiting heard a case in
the afternoon in which Godfrey
was interested. 1t was an appeal
assumpsit case of the Hawaiian
Gazette Company for balance due
on account, J. F. Clay of the Sen
ate being a garnishee. Godfrey
claimed that he was a beneficiary
of the Government as described in
the law of 1890, and consequently
his wages could not be garnisheed.
Judge Whiting believed differently
and sustained the judgment of the
District Court.

Chinese Taro Raisers Want To Plant
Again-No Change in Regulations
Regarding Nuuanu Stream-Molokai

There was Just quorum present
at the regular weekly meeting of
the Board of Health yesterday.
President Waterhouse occupied the
chair, other members of the Board
being Doctors Wood and Emerson,
members Lansing, Keliipio and
Health Agent Reynolds.
Minutes of the previous meeting
were read and approved.
DR.. Monsarrat's report of slaugh-
tered cattle during the past week
was read and passed.
Routine matters at the settlement
were reported in letters from Agent
Meyers. Mr.. Meyers suggested that
two additional dormitories be added
to the Baldwin Home. This was
ordered.
A communication from Attorney
A. G.. NJ. Robertson, acting for
several taro planters, was read. The
Cinnamon wanted permission to go
ahead and plant patches near the
Insane Asylum. The damage paid
by the Government for the taro
destroyed did not remunerate the
planters unless permission was
granted to again plant the patches,
further claim against the Govern
ment would be made in their be-
half. Action deferred.
Definite action regarding remov-
ing of restrictions on fish and fish
ing will be taken next week.
1t was voted to withdraw the
military guards from Nuuanu
stream. No change was made in
the regulations governing the
stream.
No further danger being appar-
ent, the tabu on bathing in the
harbor was removed.
Agent Reynolds spoke of some
persons bathing in Nuuanu stream.
He had reported the matter to
Marshal Brown, who had agreed to
have the police and guards prevent
the practice in the future.
President Waterhouse spoke of
the recent trip to Molokai, full
report of which had appeared in
the newspapers. He expressed
thanks for the kind solicitation
shown for their welfare. Various
matters in connection with the set
tlement were discussed at some
length. This finished regular busi-
ness, and the Board went into exec
utive session.

DOG POISONING CASE.
Seaborn Luce Tried for Malicious
Iniury-AppeaI Taken.

Judge Perry's decision in the
case of w. s. Luce, the auctioneer,
charged with malicious injury, was
a surprise to both prosecution and
defense yesterday morning. Mr..
Luce and J. Kalaukoa are both
residents of Nuuanu valley, and
for some time past the dogs OF the
latter have created sad havoc on
Luce's premises.
The CANNES have pulled down
setting hens from their boxes and
made many a tempting repast off
valuable fowl, which they killed
on Luce's grounds. The latter
notified Kalaukoa repeatedly to
keep his dogs off the premises, but
he failed to heed the notice.
Mr.. Luce complained to Marshal
Brown of the devastation the dogs
had caused, and the Marshal told
him to kill the animals if they con-
tinued to destroy his property.
Plates filled with poisoned meat
were placed in the yard every
night, and two of Kalaukoa's s
dogs helped themselves to a feed of
it. The result was that both can
ines are now occupying graves in
Nuuanu valley. A dog belonging
to J. T. Waterhouse also met his
death by eating away from home.
Mr.. Waterhouse made no complaint.
Kalaukoa, however, had Mr.. Luce
arrested for malicious injury. Judge
Perry yesterday found him guilty
and ordered a fine of $40 and costs.
An appeal was taken to the higher
.cOurt.

THE DECEMBER PARADISE ,

ber. The literary features are:
A story on West Maui, by Charles
Ewart; a sketch of the life of Will
lam G. Wilder, with an excellent
portrait of that gentleman; a
descriptive article on the volcano,
by sLeigh Irvine, the well known

Kilauea accompany Mr.. Irvine's
article on the volcano. The other
pictures illustrate Japanese quar-
ters on a plantation, and the asy-
lum for insane in Honolulu. Copies
can be had at the newsdealers.
