CONSUL WILDER.
He Confronts IA Somewhat Puzzling
situation.
lean Eranc{aco cali

Situation.
lsan Francisco Call.
A peculiar state of affairs exists
in regard to prisoner in irons on
the Pacific Mail Company's steamer
Zealandia. He made a murderous
assault on the chief officer, but as
the offense was committed under
the Hawaiian flag and practically on
Hawaiian soil the authorities did
not know what to do with the pri-
soner.
Consul General Wilder has been
appealed to, 'but if he sends the man
TO Honolulu he will have to send
the injured mate and all the wit
nesses. If he does not do this the
criminal will be turned loose in San
Francisco to cut and slash some one
else.
If he is sent to Honolulu he will
probably get term on 1.-THE reef "
that will do him good.
AS the matter stands at present
United States Marshal Brown is
powerless TO act. Were it an Amer
lean vessel he could arrest the
sailor, but he must represent the
Hawaiian flag. United States Dis
trict Attorney Foote has been in
consultation with Consul-Genera
Wilder, but they can see no way
out of the difficulty. The offense
was committed under the Hawaiian
flag, and Consult General Wilder
must handle it.

Important Points About "PurifnG," The
Great DiSinfNCtant,


In these enlightened days of the nine
tenth century il is an acknowledged
fact that IAN ounce of prevention is
worth pound of cure" and that ounce
of prevention was never better exempli-
fed than in the use of the great disin-
fectant known as "Purifne." The public
has had many disinfectants brought to
their attention. Some were good, some
were bad, and some were simply indif-
ferent, but none ever yet placed on the
market combined all the many good
qualities of "Purifine.' In the first place
it was left to the manufacturers of
"Purifiue' to compound a disinfectant
and antiseptic that would be odorless, a
most important matter,as users CT disin"
fectants well know that the odor of the
disinfectant, especially when in constant
use, becomes sicknning and disagreeable,
oftentimes as much 80 as the odor or
smell to be killed.
In a word, "Purifine" is odorless, and
its work, removal, not creating one odor
to cover another. 1t comes in highly
concentrated form, and when diluted
with two parts water there is not the
slightest odor, rendering it suitable for
places where food is kept. III the bath

generally it is Indispensable.
Then again it is non-poisonnus, an all
important feature. for II used carelessly

harmful results, and it is absolutely safe

As a sample of it's harmlessness it can
even be used in in refrigerators, and, II
accidently spilled no harm is done, and
it is particularly adapted for this use
The uses for which "Purifine" is used ART
almost limitless, and 10 enumerate then
would fill pages Of The Post. For flush
ing sewers. and for cleansing sinks
drains, barns, urinals, water closets
floor cloths and the bed clothes from
sickness or infection it is invaluable.
Then again the price is 80 low that /
can be used lavishly, and for hospitals

rants, school rooms, laundries, diaries

considered. One gallon is used To bar

THERE is honest and well
grounded opposition to the License
Act as whole and in detail. 1t is
called an emergency step, make

nation is made by some Of the most
thoughtful and practical men who
comment. The Act has its faults
and inconsistencies, but these are
overbalanced by the manifest neces-
sity for the measure and by the
large amount of equalizing leaven
in it. The Act invites the closest
scrutiny, but it should by all means
go to the President for his sign

be depended upon to accomplish
its one essential object-increase Of

merits.

SOME odd, but many admirable
suggestions on devotion are made
by Countess Wachtmeister. THE
STAR, alone of city papers, has
given extensive reports Of the
lectures of this cultivated woman.
They have been worthy space-dis-
semination. The community has
been fortunate in having visits
from scholars and takers of the
caliber of Mrs. Thirds, Countess
Wachtmeister and the Rev. DR..
Ollie. They assist in education,
in thought, and the newspapers that
ignore them are failing in duty.

In apoligizing TO the other
manufacturers for picking out
the Tribune and speaking in
such glowing terms it does so
for the sole and solitary reason
that the publishers believe the
manufacturers to use only
the best material in its
construction. The paper
reviews the history of bicycles
o the extent of comparing the
American wheels with the Eng
sh m Ike and the increased
demand that has existed within
the past fsw years for the
American make in preference
to its European cousin, and
finishes with this paragraph:

tative Of such a factory the

A FUNNY freak of Hawaiian pol
ity is that in some quarters there
yet continues grave discussion on
whether or no it is better for a
country to pay 6 per cent or less
on its debt. What lodging, what
evasion, what quibbling, what
hypocracy there has been in re-
funding consideration from the be-
ginning. Of all the men and ele-
ments interested only a very few
individuals have been willing to

IT IS a peculiar anomaly that
forces the fact that destruction of a
city is the making of it. The
agency is ordinarily fire. Chi
cago's great fire, twenty-four years
ago, was the genesis of that mar
velous place. A fire made Seattle.
Locally, it very much improved
Honolulu. The burning of the
town of Cripple Creek, Colo, is a
misfortune cordially cheered by
those who wish the mining camp
to become a city.

HINTS For wHeeLwoMEN.
Their Education Should Not End with
Learning to Mount and Ride.

Learning to Mount and hide'
When the average young woman
LEARNS to dismount without bruising
herself, and to mount without the as
sistance of large body guard, she fond
ly imagines that her woes are at an end.
She does not foresee the repair shop;
her prophetic soul gives her no warning
of the punctured tire; the mantle of the
seer does not fall upon her, and she
has no hint of mornings spent in the
basement area cleaning her machine.
She does not guess that a course, in
practical mechanics should be taught
at the cycling academy.
Every woman who intends to ride
should learn to adjust her saddle and
the handle bars. Before she goes for q
ride she should test the saddle to see if
it is perfectly firm. If it is not she
should be able TO tighten it. If she rides
at night she should see that her lamp is
filed and trimmed, that its glass is
clear, and that it is firmly fastened in
it's place, so that no jolts or jars will dis
turb it. Of course, if she rides at night,
she must be provided either withmatch-
es or an escort.
She must also learn the use of the va
rious tools found in the tool box. She
may spend many a pleasant hour in
cleaning and oiling her wheel. All the
parts which are the centers of revolu-
ton should be kept scrupulously clean.
The dust of the road enters the crevices
and combines with the oil in way
that is fatal to speed and ease in pro-
polling the machine. Cheesecloth rags
which are free from lint should be
used to clean these parts. They should
be oiled once for about every 100 miles
if the cyclist be a fairly frequent patron
of the road, and about once fortnight
if she does not ride often or far at a
time.
When the chain begins to look clogged
it should be removed and soaked in ker-
osene to clean it. Then it should be
thoroughly dried, rubbed with some
good lubricant, and restored to its posi-
tion.-Chicago Tribune.

SHELTER 1ENI USED AS SAFE'
sleeves and are equipped with draw
strings at neck and belt. They are
serviceable garments when worn as
rubber coat, giving protection from the
rain and allowing the soldier free use
of his arms in handling his weapon.
This Austrian idea is favored by the
war department officials, and 1t may be
that this combination article, or some
thing akin to it, will be adopted for our
service. 1t seems to be even better than
the idea of Capt. Rice, although that
officers suggestion is more economical,
in that it contemplates no change in the
present shape or style of our shelter
tents.
The matter of military equipment in
the last year has engaged the atten-
ton of the officers of the war depart
ment, especially those interested in
the furnishing of supplies to the armed
forces. Our military attaches abroad
have been very industrious in observ-
ing the novelties of the European serv-
ices and have been prompt to send to
the military information division in the
war department samples of the new
devices in use abroad. Many of these
have been practically tested in our serv-
ice. Among other devices has been an
aluminium horseshoe This, of course.
is much lighter than the iron horse
shoe in use and is found to be quite as
serviceable. A cavalry officer sta
toned at San Carlos, Ariz., kept an
aluminium shoe on his horse for As days.
Shoes of this material are, of course, ex-
pensive, and the present cost is beyond
3 the means of the department for theil
adoption for the service, but it is rec
commended that an aluminium horse
shoe be furnished the cavalryman az
the extra shoe which he carries in hi
saddlebag. At present this aluminium
horseshoe costs about so cents.
The officers have been interested als'
y in a new German canteen of aluminium
of hatter shape than our canteer
t which allows it to rest the better at tn
side. 1t has been found that water vii
keep for six months in these aluminium
l. canteens, while the ordinary tin one
are quickly rusted. The meat-ratio
can, referred to already as combine
10 cooking utensil and plate, weighs les
than half the tinned-iron can at preser
he in use. Another article in use abroa
is very light weight nosebag fC
horses. Still another is an asbest'
= shield to fix in the hole in the tent as
protection against fire from conta
with the stove pipe.
