utation Tor honesty. sobriety and
truthfulness, was universally beloved
by his comrades and all who knew
him. The gricf-stricken family have

We are awakening to the fact that
we need better facilities for educat-
ing the youth as at the present time
We have no central school building
which fact necessitates the school

town. II IL conceded by all that the
time has arrived when d suitable school
building will have to be erected. but
how to raise the necessary funds to
build such n structure is at present
agitating the minds OF the taxpayers.
Some are In favor OF levying a tax.
while others arc In favor OF bonding
In order to settle tho question OF

Herald from Panama stays:
Reports from Bogota are TO the eff

has closed the boundary about the

II is supposed that Nenezuelas ac-
ton is due to fears of revolutionary
attempts against the government on
account of the recent reported fraudu-

MARRIAGE AND PENSIONS.

The United States Commissioner
of Pensions does not take elevated
views on the marriage question.
He emphatically denies that they
are made in Heaven, and impru-
IDENTIFY intimates that there is a
Doodle god in the States, just as
we have a Sugar god here.
He gives as one Of the reasons for
the increase Of the pension list, the
marriage of young women to old
soldiers and pensioners, and he asks
that a law be passed cutting off
these women from drawing pen
sions, when they become widows.
The widows pension are not large,
hardly exceeding $40 per month,
but in the rural districts. that sum
is considered quite a competence,
and places the widow beyond want.
In the Southern States there are
many thousands Of Confederate
widows of Union soldiers who draw
pensions, for many thousands of
young Union soldiers settled in the
South after the war, and since the
wholesale granting of pensions by
Congress, with pensions to widows,
have found no difficulty whatever
i'm finding wives.
About ten years ago, a careful
estimate was made of the number
of widows, surviving husbands who
had fought in the War of 1912.
Few as the battles were and with
little loss of life, it appeared that
Is years after that war, there were
10000 surviving widows. This was
accounted for by the fact that the
old soldiers, as they became widow
ers, married very young women,
who counted on becoming widows
at an early date, with small, com
Portable pensions. Seventy-fve
years after that war and at the pre-
sent time. the women pensioners
greatly exceed in numbers the male
pensioners.
| The same causes are operating
now. The death bed marriages of
old soldiers and young women will
continue.
The charge is made against the
Society girls, that they marry for
money. The facts indicate that the
poor girls do the same thing. If
matches are made in Heaven there

The Civil Laws of the Hawaiian
Islands (printed by the Hawaiian
Gazette Company, are now pub
lished. The compilation was made
by Mr.. S. NJ. Ballou, and is very
creditable work. The separation of
civil and penal provisions, mixed
as they were in the different stat
utes, called for unusual care ON the
part of the compiler, but the separ
alton seems to have been SO care
fully made, both the Bench and
the Bar will find the volume very
valuable. If annexation should
take place, this compilation will be
of the very greatest value TO the

tants of these Islands.

TIMELY TOPICS

NOVEMBER II, 1897.
BURGLARS quite n a goog
time in Honolulu just now.
So accustomed are we to
take up a daily paper and find
an account of another OAR
ing Robbery" that it is quite
a disappointment after care
fully going through the news
of the day to find no mention
of the usual crime.
Just who is responsible
for this state of things is an
open question. 1t is all very
we'll to throw reason to the
winds and accuse our police
force of incapacity, etc., but
the true cause is to be found
nearer home. There are
many persons who would
not think of a criminal act,
were temptation not placed
in their way by the incau-
tious acts of many of our
citizens. Valuables are al
lowed to lie about in all
places and at all times, and
no care whatever is taken to
secure them from curious
eyes.
The true remedy is in a
nutshell--or rather in a Safe.
The old excuse of ''too ex-
pensive" does not hold now
a-days. We carry a selection
of safes made by the first
manufacturers in the United
States in no less than 6 sizes,
from the SIS "Baby" to pre-
serve the family jewels,
books, etc, to the largest office
safe. All sizes are equally
we'll made, strong and beau
tiful.
No one can afford to be
without one--a safeguard
alike from fire and the enter
prising burglar.

very important fact must not be overlooked
that the parade like every other depart

unlike any ever before seen. Many shows
have and do at the present time advertise
dishonesty that they have two shows In
one, but there has never been combining
OF two really great shows in this land
before, and people who are In doubt - to
the genuineness Of the putting together
