CURES BY THE SPRING.
II Has Benefited a Sore Arm and
Removed FfeckleS.

New YORK, March 2-All day yesterday
the hot spring on East Houston street,
New York, spouted. Crowds from all
parts of the city came and stood in the
rain, watching with fascinated eyes a
stream of water pulsing from the mouth
OF a hose which disappeared through a
high board fence, very new, rs was at
t,sted by its brightness. This fence was
built by the firm of Zimmerman * Gluckp
enheimer, the owners of the property at
324 East Houston street, who. as soon as
II was borne IN upon them that the
spring might prove medicinal, and thus
prohtabl' in character, took STEPS toward
making IT marketable product. Eventu
ally, II things turn out right, they may
build combination bath house and bot
tling water works there.
Access to the source of the myster ous
flow being denied them, the visitors were
fain to content themselves with viewing
the lose which carried 1t to the gutter.
Around this they would stand for an hour
at time, returning from successive
flights when "shooed" by the policeman
on guard ID perch on some advantageous
SPOT whence they could resume their rapt
contemplation. Later there were two
policemen, and finally three, ss the crowd
increased and became more stubbornly
immovable.

LIQUID. For those who really furnished a
demand for the supply, the police made
allowances, not chasing them away, but
keeping them in line, SO that each might
fill his or her vessel. Many OF these pitt

An emergency or incidents uneX-

form a committe for observance of the
Hawaiian Republic Fourth of July.
Action was required and men of ac-
tion moved. These men will do the
very best they can to perform the
duty they have before them. They
will be grateful for any assistance
rendered and cordially invite advice
and cooperation. There is nothing of
the exclusive or star chamber about
the Hawaiian committee and they APP
preciate the courtesies of the Ameri-

received about town. The conditions
were peculiar this time, but the gen.
eral desire seems to be to make the
very best of the situation and to make
both the affairs of the Fourth the
finest kind of successes.

Yes; the truth hurts sometimes, but
The Star does not intend to insult
people with it. 1t rests entirely with
those interested or concerned to con-
strue statement of fact. The plain
truth about the two American flag
incidents of 1898 will stand forever, no
matter how individuals accept it. Per-
haps it is correct that "the contem-
plated landing of the American troops
Ton Oahu during the Black Week) was
nothing more nor less than a contem-
plated act of piracy" 1t is correct,
as set forth, that the Americans
ashore who prepared to resist this
landing showed loyalty of the very
highest standard to the cause they
had espoused in Hawaii. Finally, it
is correct, as it is extraordinary, that
the AnneXationist Americans of Ho-
noluiu, no matter how firmly they
were of the belief that piracy was to
be resisted, would have been simply
and in fact carrying into execution
their decision to fire upon the stars
and stripes. Whether or no they
would have been justified later, and it
is presumed such would have been the
final verdict, the version of the posi-
ton that they took cannot be changed
any more than the stubborn facts can
be evaded or colored.
