HEAVY RAINSTORM.
Streets Flooded and
Traffic Suspended.
Imperfect Drainage Causes Pedes-
TRANS Inconvenience.

The heaviest rainstorm that has Wis
tied Honolulu in several months began
yesterday morning at o'clock and
continued throughout the day, except
for short time before o'clock. Up
to that hour the rainfall in the city
was OF, and at w. w Halls residence,
Nuuanu, UP to the same hour it was
IA. For the day, up to 6 p. M, the to-
tai rainfall in the city was 3.S7, and at
Mr.. Halls, 400. This latter is more
rain than fell during the entire months
of October or November.
The heaviest fall of the day was be-
tween 2 and 3 p. M, and during that
time the streets were almost impassa-
BILE. Fort, King, Merchant, Alakea and
some parts of Nuuanu were flooded. On
Beretania, near Punchbowl, where dur
ing the past few years it was almost
Unnecessary to launch a boat whenever
it rained hard, was not in such bad
condition, owing, perhaps, to better
system of drainage. The water filled
the street for a time, but soon ran
off. At Alakea and King, it was i'm
passable for several hours, except by
wading through water ankle deep.
In many places the car tracks were
flooded and covered with mass of dirt
resulting in the trans going off the
track. Merchant and Fort was in bad
condition and pedestrians found 1t nee
| essary to walk block in order to cross
| the street 1t is probable that these
water bIockades were due to imperfect
drainage or clogging up of the cutters
| along the streets. Alakea street has
been an eye sore in this respect ever
| since the street was widened, but no
determined effort has ever been mace
to remedy the evil. The same may be
said of Fort street. The corner occu-
pied by Hollister & Co. was, in years
gone by, a regular sink hole for the wa
ter in time of a heavy rain. AS pre-
caution the owner had a four inch sill
of cement put in as break water and
now there is no trouble. On the cor
ner of Queen and Merchant, occupied
by M. Phillips & Co., the sidewalk is
so nearly on a level with the gutter
that the water runs over it and some
times into the building.
This storm, while unusual, will give
Mr.. Herring an idea of the needs Of a
sewerage system for carrying off this
vast quantity of water.
During the storm the wind was from
the south ard and extremely light
The day was sultry, as is usual with
the wind from that direction. During
the afternoon, outside building opera
tions were suspended.
From until 1915 p. m. the rain
abated, then heavy shower lasting
about ten minutes, passed over the city
at the same time the wind stiffened a
little from the south.

setter Than . slsepinx Dr.s,,

Tho soul sof Brooklyn electrician
has been sorely tried by the nocturnal
song Of cats. Night after night his we'll
earned rest would be broken by the solos,
duets and choruses which were given by
the feline congregation in his back yard.
One night, while he was lying awake
vowing deep and summary vengeance on
his tormentors, an inspiration came to
him. He had heard that the cat, like the
skylark, does not sing on the ground. It
must climb fence to find inspiration
for the outpourings Of its musical soul
The electrioian's back yard is surround
ed by high fence, which would invari-
ably be studded with dim silhouettes far
into the night. but they are there no
longer. The overweight sufferer con-
oeived the idea Of running wire through
which he could send a powerful current
around the top Of the fence, the switch
bar being close to his hand. He says the
sweetest moment Of his life was when
the first cat bumped its back against the
wire. He joyously pressed the button.
There was a ragged, alternating current
kind Of howl and an instantaneous
whisking Of furry mass, and all was
still. Within week not cat would
come within ten rods Of that fence, and
the ingenious Brooklynite now sleeps

to bear on them by the Republicans.
They have been driven from one po-
sition to another until they have be-
come desperate. A recent letter
from Bismarck purporting to favor
their views has been widely quoted
by them, and now it turns out that
the Denis had mistranslated and dis
torted this letter to suit themselves.
4 correct translation gives it an al
together different meaning. The
London Financial News article SO
eagerly published by the silver press
has been proven base forgery. The
garbling OF Blaine's speech by which
he was made to voice views he never
entertained was shown up early in
the campaign. What reliance can be
placed on party that constantly
misuuotes and falsifes in this manner?
In their desperation they grasp at
any straw to support losing
cause.

frances Ono Guillotine.


There is only one guillotine in France,
all others having long since been de-
stroyed. Theone of Paris alone remains,
but it travels all over the country. In
the course Of its peregrinations the in
strument is governed by local customs,
and according to their nature are exc
cutions painful or painless.
In some departments the condemned
is slowly taken to the place Of execution
through the streets, and toilet details
depend on local precedents
Not long ago prisoner was taken to
early mass, and meanwhile the instru-
ment Of death awaited him by the church
door.
In Paris only Is minutes intervene
from the waking Of the prisoner to the
fall Of his head in the basket, but in the
country the hungry knife is sometimes
allowed to wait for it's victim for hourR
The condemned is entirely in the keep
ing Of the jailer, who is responsible for
the mans ife-that is to say, it is his
duty to deliver to the guillotine living
being.
But as things are the prisoner is often
need!essly tor1nented by the timidity Of
the keeper, who, knowing to what pen
alties he would be subject, is often over
anxious toguard against suicide. Pear

WITHIN the past three weeks the
price of wheat has advanced more
than ten cents bushel, while the
price OF silver has continually gone
down, being nearly6 cents an ounce
a few weeks ago, but now only 65B
cents an ounce. This fact, wheat go
ing up and silver going down at the
same time; disproves completely the
favorite assertion OF the silverites,
that the decline in the price of silver
is the cause OF the low price Of wheat.
1t demolishes their whole fimsy ar
gument at one blow, and proves that
there is no connection whatever be-
tween the prices OF silver and wheat.
The rise in wheat is due to short
crops in the chief sources OF supply.
With the election of William Mckin-
ley the wheels OF industry will again
revolve, and then will come increased
demand for consumption at home,
and still better prices may be
expected.

Battle of the Buckles.

In a petty war carried on between &se
rival cites Of Athens and EgeB small
body Of soldiers entered the latter town.
They were met by an angry mob Of
women who unclasped their a7rdles,
which were fastened with metal buckles,
and attacked the foe furiously. The SOL
diers hesitated, not wishing to injure
the women, but the affray became so
serious that they fed down the streets.
The women pursued them, using their
long sashes as lassos and striking the
enemy without mercy.
The case was afterward brought into
the courts, and, sorrowful to relate, was
decided against the Egeans, for the
judges decreed that henceforth no Egean
woman should wear buckle. The
Athenians thereupon took special pride
in this ornament, which they TAINTED
before the eyes Of their rivals. Current

Lincoln as . Dancer.

Lincoln made his first appearance in
society when he was first sent to Spring
field, Ills, as a member of the state leg
islature. It was not an imposing figure
which he cut in q ballroom, but still he
was occasionally to be found there.
Miss Mary Todd, who afterward became
his wife, was the magnet which drew
the tall, awkward young man from his
den. One evening Lincoln approached
Miss Todd and said, in his peculiar
idiom:
'.Miss Todd, I should like to dance
with you the worst way

liable and hobbled around the room

The word tip originated, it is said, in
that way. The story goes that in an old

IT is surprising to what extent the
silver politicians in this campaign
have resorted to false and misleading
statements, distortion and garb-
ling OF public records and the utter
ances Of public men with a view OF
influencing voters. They must have
a poor opinion OF the intelligence of
the people when they think they can
deceive them by such methods. They
seem to base their whole campaign

quit appealing to the intelligence and

AN impression has gone abroad
among the. farmers, fostered by the
silverites, that it is the Republican
party that contemplates change in
our money system. That is entirely
wrong. The republican party wants
to use gold, silver and paper us mon
ely, just as we have it at present, and
wants to maintain these different
dollars at an equal purchasing pow
er, exactly as at present. The repub-
leans favor retaining the gold stan
dard, which We have had practically
since 1884. 1t is the Bryan demo
Gratis that desire a change in our
monetary system. They advocate
free coinage Of silver on private ac-
count at the ratio Of Is to 1, which
will place us at once upon a silver
basis, drive gold out of circulat ton,
reduce the purchasing power OF all
our currency, cause arrangement
OF all prices and precipitate a panic.
They want us to try new and
strange system OF finance, which is
really an old. obsolete and inpracti-
cal system that has been tried again
and again and now entirely discard
ed by all the leading commercial ma
tions. The Bryanites advocate a
policy that means silver monometal-
lism, the republicans the only practi-
cal system of bimetallism.
