visions that, upon consideration, would
not be deemed proper to adopt, but
that was no reason why the consider
alton of the whole bill should be post
poned.
Rep. Robertson said he did not wish
TO be understood as favoring the Lii
cense Bill, but he failed to see why
the livery stables should not be taxed
as well as any other industry. 1t was
a very good thing in his mind that
carriages were required TO pay Ii
cense. since those vehicles were direct
iy concerned in the wear and tear OF the
roads and should by rights pay for the
repair and maintenance of the same.
In regard 10 the objections OF the
member from Hilo, he had simply sat
and voted complacently upon other
sections OF the bill and then when the
matter of livery stables came up Tor
consideration, he was on the floor IN
a minute, faring up like MokuaweoWeo
and crying for help. Rep. Robertson
was of the opinion that the member
from Hilo was not just exactly clear
with respect to what he wanted. He
said that for his part he had voted
against the new sections because he be-
Iieved that they led to pernicious sys-
tenn. while he VOL6u lOE IuS OIu SSCtlOhS

Rep. Halualani moved that Lihue be
inserted in the list of places on the
islands where licenses on the livery
business would be required.
Rep. Kaeo objected very strenuously
to this saying that it seemed to him
Kauai was the island that was being
neglected most in Legislative con-
siderations and of which the most was
expected in the way of taxes. VIM.
Rice was the only man who made any
pretenses at doing a livery business
on Kauai. His place was at Lihue. |
He had always been very kind to peo-
pie who wanted carriages and had
often conferred favors in many ways.
1t was very probable that if tax were
to be placed upon his business, he
would not be as kind as before.
The House thought it no more than
proper that Lihue should be included
in the list, and voted accordingly.
At 1870 House adjourned until p. M.

The Value
OF Good
Eye Sight.

Some things areright in my
line, and the optical business
is one of them.
This department is one to
which | devote most of my
time, giving the greatest
amount of care and attention
to each individual case. Eyes
are tested in a scientific
manner.
The latest appliances are
used, which make the test
less trying to the patient,
and we guarantee absolutely
perfect results in every case.
The value of a correct and
comfortably fitting glass can
not be over estimated in such
cases where the trouble is
directly due to imperfect
vision. Many see distant
OBJECTS we'll, yet are con-
stantly troubled with per-
haps headaches, "a burning
sensation in the eyes, or oc-
casional blurring of the print
when reading, yet are reluc-
tant to attribute it to an
actual defect of vision.
Being able to discern dis
tant objects, is by no means
a sure indication that your
eyes are normal.
Extreme far sight is as
great a defect as near sight,
and requires the same treat

Glasses are the only relief,
and these should be of the

NO CHANGE OF SYSTEM.
The Efforts to Secure a Representative
Form OF Government for Chris.
tiaH EldeayOr Societies Fail.

Washington, July 13.-Tha board of
trustees of the United Societies Christ
ian Endeavor held it's final meeting for
the year today in it's room at the Eb-
bitt House and formally wound up the
business of this convention. The trls-
tees were gratiiied during the meeting
by the reception Of a signed statement
bearing the names Of nearly every state
union of Christian Endeavor societies
approving their administration of the
affairs of the society and endorsing their
system of government.
This statement was called forth by an
agitation started in some parts of the
west and continued for several years,
seeking to effect "a change in the man
agement of the societies. No criticisms
has been directed against officers or
trustees by the agtators The aim was
to secure representative form of gov
ernment in the society. At present all
powr over the affairs of the society is
vested in the board of trustees and their
officers and the board is self perpetua-
ting. Some of the western endeavorers
want to change this system so that va
cancies in the board should be filed by
electing either in the conventions or
by the local unions. Opposition to this
proposed change found expression today
in this formal statement which bears
the signatures of twenty EIGHT state
union presidents and the expression is
SO emphatic that the agitation for a
change of system is not likely to be
heard from again for some time. The
statement further says that the Chris
tian Endeavor is not an institution, but
movement. The vast simplicity of
its organization. its freedom from ma
chinery. combined with high character
sober Judgment and Willingness ia gain
light from every rightful source on the
part of the officers and trustees. have
done much to lift it to its present high
position Of influence.
1t endorses the recent council of the
trustees Of the united society and presi-
dents of state and provincial unions, as
a wise step in the progress of the move
ment. recommends that such a council
be made a permanent feature in con-
nection with succeeding international
conventions.
The statement bears the signatures of
the following state presidents: c. A..
Barbour, New York: J. T. McCreery,
Pennsylvania; c. N. Hunt. Minnesota;
W. H. Strong, Michigan; w. p. Taylos.

Pittston, Pa, July 13.-There is moth

Is getting slower as they get deeper into

There Is some talk of the company
making a proposition to the families Of
the victims, to give up the work of re-
covering the bodies and divide among
the families the money that it will cost
to recover the bodies, the amount to be
determined by a committee Of expert,

1t will take weeks and possibly months
to get to the point where the search for
the victims is to be commenced and IL
the bodies are recovered they will by
that time be unrecognizable.
