SCHOOL BOARD.

The appointment of George w.
Smith to the vacant place upon the
Board of Education will give salts
faction to all who take an interest
in the educational advancement of
the country. Mr.. Smith is man
of erudition and of broad and prac-
teal views. He Is keen business
man and a careful and accurate
thinker, moreover he has great
aptitude for organization. 1t is
with no view of casting any slight
upon the other members of the
Board when it is said that Mr.,
Smiths presence will be felt to the
advantage of the work which the
Board has to do.
The Star called attention to the
vacancy upon the Board in its issue
of August 9th, and the matter was
brought up in the following meeting
of the Board. The law provides
and is mandatory that there should
be six commissioners and the
Executive have acted with prompt
tude in filling the vacancy.
The Office of Commissioner of
Education is an extremely onorous
one, and in a great measure a
thankless one. There are so many
appointments to make and so large
a field to cover, there are so many
matters to be considered in making
appointments, that all who under
take the duty have to devote con-
siderable time to their duties. When
it is considered that the commits
sioners serve without pay, and work
at considerable sacrifice of their
own time, the community must
realize that debt is owed them for
their disinterested and valuable
labors.

waiians will agree that those state
ments are not extreme, that they
are absolute and incontrovertible
facts. They are all these things
and more. Even the statement
that they are quite equal to the
citizens of many places in the
United States is not too strong, is
not an extreme statement. The
average Hawaiian is superior to the
average negro, and the United
States has some 5000, 900 Of them
as voters. The morning journal
cannot controvert the above state
ments and it cannot prove them to
be extreme. There is no coloring
in the facts, they are plain straight
forward truths, which the journal
in question is SO very DESTROYS Of
getting before the public, and they
are once more reiterated here as
truths which challenge contradic-
ton.

Week..

The smokeless stove, on
which water is boiled in our
show window, has been a great
attraction for several days to
students in philosophy. The
Jewel is a good stove, any
way.
The special subject for the
people this week is not stoves.
That subject is a daily one.
This week you will have nov
elites of all sorts.
This is the season when the
hens 90 on strike and the
price of eggs goes skyward.
Hens want a little encourage.
ment now and then, and the
best thing known to science is
green bones. But they must
be cut up fine. We have the
best green bone cutter in the
world.
Another novelty is the soap
saver, made of re-tinned wire,
basket shaped, with long hand
les. This is the best soap
known, and we have three
sizes. They are cheaper than
dirt and much more beautify-
ing.
Dripless tea and coffee
strainers are new and very
serviceable. There's cutoff
attachment which prevents
coffee or tea from dripping on
the table cloth after the cup is
filed. Very cheap, these, and
pretty, too.
A six-knife Victor meat
chopper for a quarter seems
like a dream, but it isn't. We
sell them at that price, and
we sell the holdfast dust pan
the best you ever saw.
The latest in coasters is the
revolving star. Enables the

bread at once. Try one.

WHAT Is 1T?
The Russell Staple Fuller
and Wire Splicer.

The Russell Staple Fuller
and Wire Splicer is a drop
forge tool, made Of black dia-
mond tool steel, and embraces
six tools in one; weight, about
a pound, and can be carried in
the hip pocket with ease.
The six tools are as follows:
l. Double staple puller,
nails, etc.
2. Double wire cutter.
8. Double hammer, non
breakable.
4, Good wire splicer, for any
kind Of wire, barbed wire in
cluded.
5. Good pair pincers, with
long leverage.
Good monkey wrench, for
plows, machines, etc.
The leading fence companies
throughout the middle and
western States have adopted
this tool for use in putting up
their fences, and recommend
it as the best tool of it's kind
in use.
1t is one of those tools that
while used in wire fence work,
yet might be called a ''house-
hold article" as everyone that
has used it claim they cannot
afford to be without it around
the house, barn and farm.
If other dealers tell you that
they have something that vii
! do as we'll and is cheaper
don't have it. Why? Because
no one or two tools are as
cheap as six.

A FIREMAN'S FALL.
1nteresting Incident Of a Large Fire
in New York.

1nteresting Incident Of a Large Fire
in New York.
An incident that happened in a large
cotton fire in the lower part of New
York, some years ago, had it's comic
side, and was the means of the fremen
discovering the main body of the fire,
which for some time they had been en-
deavoring in vain to locate.
The smoke was pouring out of nearly
every part of the building; and al
though several entrances had been
made, it had been impossible to find the
seat of the fire. The chief in charge
ordered some windows on the third
floor to be "opened up," and ladder
was accordingly raised, and fireman
ascended. With the aid of hook he
pried open the iron shutters, and, lamp
in hand, stepped in-and disappeared!
His companion upon the ladder, won
dering why he had so suddenly vanished
from sight, peered in, and found that he
had stepped into the elevator shaft that
was directly under. this window, and
had fallen through to the basemant.
Hastily descending, he alarmed the
others, and forcing an entrance, they
made their way to the cellar. Here
they found their comrade in sitting
position upon bale of cotton, partly
stunned and dazed from the shock of
the fall, but otherwise uninjured. In
his hand he still held the wire handle of
his lamp-all that remained of it-while
in front of him, further in the basement,
blazing merrily, was the fire they had
been endeavoring to find. His fall had
led him directly to it. On afterward
examining the hatchway, or shaft,
through which he had fallen, they found
that it had bars running diagonally
across at each floor, and in some mar
velous way he had escaped each one in
his downward fiight.-Charles T. Hill,

NO POSTAGE STAMPS,
A Place Where Letters Are Sent Free
nj


r ~ of Cost. H. 1-~. A.
The letters that the Sikh police in
Singapore send their kindred in India
and those that they receive in return
are almost invariably minus any post
age stamps. One of their European Of
6cers, noticing this, asked one of the
men the reason for this universal omis-
sion, and it was explained that the ma
tive postman's idea of honor concerning
the delivery of native letters are re-
stricted to towns.
Should the epistle be addressed to a
nan in a village some miles from the
offce, the postman duly takes the let
ter and starts off, but after going lit
tie way slips into the nearest patch of
Jungle and throws it away, thus saving
himself any further trouble about the
matter. It is curious to note that let
ters are seldom rifled. The trouble of
walking SO far for mere letter seems
10 worry the native mind, and no GU
'iosity is aroused as to its contents.
If the letter, however, is unstamped,
the unhappy postman must deliver it at
It's destination, as he is bound to pro-
dnce on his return a receipt for the fine
imposed for the omitted stamps.
They bear no i'll will to the postman

was headed with photo of the judge
who presided over the trial; the

served round, the band played a solemn
