lion TO the Lcgish""O'
At half-past ten o'clock this
morning procession OF Portu-
guese men marched up King
street and to the front of the
Executive building by the front
gate. They we're headed by the
twenty-one members of the CEN
trail committee of the United Por-
tuguese Society of Hawaii. The
procession having halted, the COM
mittee assembled the steps and
were received in the hallway 10y
H. e. Cooper, Minister of Foreign
Affairs. A large number OF spec
tators had gathered on the veran-
ola and in the hallway to witness
the novel scene, while many wives
and little ones of the procession
lists were assembled about the
gate. There was also a crowd OF
all nationalities ON Union square.
j. M. Vivas was spokesman OF
the committee and in few words
presented the Minister with pc
tition, the prayer Of which is
given in our report Of the House
of Representatives. When Min
lister Cooper had i'll polite man
ner acknowledged the receipt of
the document, the members of the
committee bowed and retired.
They again took their place at the
head of the procession, which i'm
mediately marched out OF the
grounds.
The preamble of the petition
recites how the Portuguese came
to this country to assist III the
development of its industries, that
they had either brought or raised
families here, that they were far
from home, as well as from other
lands where they might find en-
ployment, and that the large
number of Asiatics introduced had
made employment so scarce and
wages so low that white men could
no longer provide adequate sus-
tenance for their families. There
fore they prayed to have Asiatic
immigration stopped, the tax laws
equalized, and means devised for
protection to white laborers and
mechanics.

THE REGISTRATION ACT.

Our correspondent who writes
about the Registration Act can
not convict this paper of neglect
to give publicity to the matter.
Before the bill was printed the
BULLETIN gave a complete synop-
sis of the corresponding bill of
1892. There was not the slightest
response of dissent to the measure
from the public, and the bill slid
through its second reading-the
test stage-in the House of Rep
resentatives without ripple of
opposition. When it came up for
third reading and was opposed
by two members Of the Cabinet
and only defended by one, this
paper gave full report Of the
debate that took place in the
House. There was adelay of sew
eral days before the final vote was
taken, yet neither our present
correspondent nor anyone else
said n word in the meantime.
What inference could be drawn
from such UNMARRIED silence than
that the public gave an Indifferent
consent to the measure? Prob
ably most people consider that
compulsory registration, with
the obligation on every
freeman to carry a GER
tifcate of his identity about
with him, is needed to complete
that brilliant constellation of laws
that illuminate Hawaiian freedom,
namely: the passport law, the
contract labor law, the press CEN
sorship laws, and the dangerous
persons law. IL there are any
considerable number of persons
who are as apprehensive of the
pending measure as our present
correspondent, they ought TO
speak quickly before the Senate
takes action or else hold their
peace forever.

INHERITANCE TAX.
Large Realization from Youmans Is
tate--Appeal I'm Dimond Estate.

Large Realization from Youmans Es-
tate-.AppeaI I'm Dimond Estate.
The inheritance tax on Lihue
plantation stock and realty of the
estate of the late Kate l.. You
mans, who died at Rldgefield, Con
necticut, amounts to $7697 .85, and
was paid into the Judiciary Clerks
office yesterday.
Judge Carter the other day de-
cided that the devisees of the late
Mrs. Ann Maria Dimond, being
her grandchildren, were liable to
the inheritance tax on the proper
ty devised. The property consists
of the Dimond block in King
street, in which John Motifs store
is situated, and it has been valued
by the judicial appraisers at Sl4,-
600, on which the tax is 500.
Henry Warehouse and Julia
IL. Waterhouse, the executors
of the estate, have appealed
against the decision. The statute
prescribing taxation of uncertain
ces passed in 1892 exempts the
father, mother, husband, wife,
child, brother, sister, wife or wild
ow of son, the husband of a
daughter, or any child adopted in
conformity with law, or corpora
tons exempted by law from taxa
ton. In the case at bar the in
heritors are the children of Mrs.
Henry Warehouse and of Mrs.
Sarah Kinney, both daughters of
the testator. Judge Carter adopt
ed the principle that grandchildren
are not exempted from paying the
tax under the statute.

Lately a new store was taken
by a fruit dealer. He asserts that,
when he went to pay his half
yearly water rate from January l,
he was informed that he would
have to pay the delinquent rate ON
the premises for the previous year,
and if he did not come up with
the money the water would be cut
off. Naturally he thinks the reg
ulations of the water bureau are
curious, and, according to his
showing, everybody but their
authors will think the same thing.

Speaking ofthe above watch;
1t was an old one. The wearer
had used it steadily for forty
years. IL had run enough;had
revolved It's wheels 50 long and
steadily. that at last it was
tired out. The pivots were so
worn, the wheels just wobbled

together. What was to be
done? Throw it away? Get a
new one. Yes, but the wearer
valued it for It's associations, it
was as dear to him as HIS best

build it all over as it were, re-
new the PARTS, put some go

March ii, 1890.

A church congregation down
in Sanders, KY, was dismissed
most summarily under un-
pleasant circumstances two
Sundays since. Right in the
middle Of the preachers dis
course there bolted into the
church through the haIf-open
door what appeared to be a
black and white cat, closely
followed by a yellow"dog. Cat
and dog ran swiftly down the
middle aisle to the platform.
The preacher taken unawares,
did the natural thing, kicked
at the cat, hit it, and landed it
squarely in the middle of the
congregation. Then it turned
out that the cat was a skunk.
The rest of the story is left to
the imagination of the reader.
This week we want to call
your attention especially to the
ALASKA REFRIGERATOR and
give you few items concern
ing its construction.
To give strength and dura-
biIity, an inside body, or frame
is made of we'll dried, matched
wood, to which hardwood
cleats are solidly nailed. Upon
these cleats the outer body, or
frame, is built.
The inner frame is made
from perfectly odorlesS wood,
and is lined with zinc. Po-
Hshed as bright as a mirror,
presenting a very clean and at
tractive appearance.
All exposed wood, as under
the lids and about the doors,
is odorless tulip poplar,
thoroughly Shellaced. This
makes the Refrigerator clean
and sweet.
Between the outer and inner
walls there is an inch and a
half space filled with PURE
CHARCOAL. There is nothing
so good in every way for fill
ling the space between the
two walls of a Refrigerator as
Pure Charcoal.
The locks are entirely new
in principle, and are, without
exception, the best ever used
on a Refrigerator. They will
keep the door closed perfectly
tight, even if they were left
one-eighth inch loose.
The hinges are very strong,
beautiful in design, and made
expressly for The ALASKA
REFRIGERATOR.
All the trimmings are solid
brass, dipped finish, this being
the latest style in fine brass
goods.
From the results of tests
made during the past three
years, we are convinced that
the ALASKA is the best Re-
frigerator in the market, in
construction. in power to pre-
serve periShableS, in economy
of ice, and, in fact, in all the
points necessary to make them
first class in every respect.

ON MERCY'S
The Movement for the New
Ambulance.
WORTHY OF ALL ASSISTANCE.

Something that Rock Island Should Rave
In Connection With Its Other Advan-
taEes for the Caro- of the Sick and the In
jared-Mseting With Success.
The w. C.. L. U. ladies are
meeting with encouragement in
their undertaking to provide Rock
Island with an ambulance. While
they have encountered some re-
verses and disappointments, the
ladies who have consecrated their
efforts to this noble cause feel conf
dent OF the success OF their under
taking. Their mission is one OF
mercy and one that appeals to the
hearts OF all to whose aid and influ-
ence appeal is made. With a hospi-
tai such as Rock Island now has for
the care of the afflicted, whether
through physical Ill or accident.
there should be provided a convey
ance for carrying patients to it, or
for that matter wherever it be de-
sirable to take them. in advance of
the methods now employed.
The patrol wagon with the at
tachments which are used is a vast
improvement over the customs of
the past, but when you come to con-
slider it, the same conveyance which
is supposed to be always ready to re-
spond to calls to carry the drunk.
disorderly and those charged with
graver breaches of the code OF civil
order to the lookup. is hardly the
one to serve as the carriage of the
unfortunate sufferer-not in the
Rock Island Of today.
Ambulance Ought to BE Covered.
Indeed The ambulance should be
encouraged. The patrol wagon as
agency of police supervision is in
dispen sable and should be kept al.
WAYS on call, and there are times
when emergencies demand its utility
for ambulance purposes, but there
should be provided in Rock Island an
ambulance in the strict sense of the
word. Some cities have covered
their patrol wagons, which serve
the double duty Of patrol wagon and
ambulance. This is a humane move,
but it does not meet the end desired,
as whenever the patrol wagon is
called morbid curiosity directs q
crowd and the sufferer for whose
accommodation tine ambulance is
called should be spared this ordeal
where it is possible. The covered
patrol to be sure serves one advaut.
age greatly to be desired in this re.
spect-but it does not meet all the
requirements.
The ARGUS hopes the w. c. T. U.
will be accorded every possible en-
enlargement in its efforts to pro-
vide Rock Island with proper am
bulance.
Mayer Knox and the majority of
the aldermen have given to the ladies
assurance of their sympathy in their
endeavors and of their purpose to
give the ambulance the municipal
aid that it deserves. From this it
may be assumed that it will be a
city ambulance always on call for the
public benefit.

REV. MORSE GOES AWAY.
,-Pastor OF the Milan Methodist Church
Leaves for the West.

Ex-Pastor OF the Milan Methodist Church
Leaves for the West.
Rev. c. S. Morse. late pastor OF the
Milan Methodist Episcopal church,
has been missed by the people of tn 1t
little town for the past few weeks.
and now they are just coming to the
conclusion that he has gone for good.
It is not because any wrongdoing
characterized his spiritual or social
affairs that Milan folk are inter-
ested in the departure OF Rev.
Morse, but because of the unceremo-
NOUS manner in which he took his
leave.
just before the opening of the dis
trict camp meeting Rev. Morse re-
signed the pastorate OF the Method
list church. 1t seems the relations
between minister and congregation
we're not the most congenial fcom
the first. He would not carry
out the wishes of the coagrega-
ton in all respects. Then the
breach widened. The congregation
began diminishing in numbers aud
it appeared as though the only saliva.
ton for the church was the resigna-
ton of the pastor. And so he re-
signed.
Rev. Nor Sc arrived in Milan with
his young wife and son last fall after
his appointment as pastor. He is a
gentleman of about SO. He has been
married twice. His soon succeeded
Fred Kuschmann as hired Land at
the Bastian farm. 1t is thought Rev.
and Mrs. Morse have gone to Cali
fornia.
