A CURE FOR DROUTH.

DIR. Harris, National Commits
sioner of Education, in Washing
ton, ID. c., recently showed to us,
the translation of a decree issued
bv an Alcalde in San Salvador,
which was secured by correspond
ent of the Smithsonian. 1t may
interest the people of Hawaii,
whose crops are suffering from the
drouth. The proclamation shows
that the ignorant Spanish authori-
ties in some parts of South Ameri-
ca. and the Chinese take the same
curious views regarding the rela-
lions of man to the supernatural
world, and the power Of man to
control events.
We abbreviate some portions of
the decree:
Whereas, There has been no rain
in this province of Caciquas for over
two years, and "the Supreme Crea-
tor has been behaving badly to-
wards our people" we now decree:
1st. That if no rain falls within
eight days, no one will be permit
ted to 90 to mass.
I'd. If no rain falls within eight
days after that time, the furniture
of the churches shall be broken up.
3rd. If no rain falls within eight
days after that, some of the priests
and nuns will be beheaded.
4th. Until rain falls, no one
shall be punished for any crime.

On Captain IiOokanO.

A somewhat interesting story is told
about Captain Hookano of the police
force. He was sent in the police wagon
to get drunken Fiji Islander, near
Kawaiahao Church. After getting the
fellow into the vehicle, he held him
with one hand and drove with the 9th
er When near the Telephone Ex-
change, the prisoner, seeing his excel
lent chance, hit Hookano in the back.
The police officer shook him and kept
on driving. He was evidently afraid
that the horse might run him up on
the sidewalk. The prisoner hit Hooka-
no again. 1t was then that the latter
said: Horse and wagon can go to
pieces for all I care" With that he
started in to subdue his priosner. In
this he succeeded admirably.

Libraries, and the judges and law
yers usually make a hard fight for
appropriations. If X. l.. Steven

therefore should generously sustain
it, through the Legislature.

on the unwritten Polynesian law,

CONSTANTINOPLE, August 10
The peace negotiations between the
ambassadors OF the Powers and Tewfik
Pasha, the Turkish, Foreign Minister,
are at a complete standstill. This is
due to the refusal of Lord Salisbury to
allow a Turkish occupation of Thessa-
ly pending a partial payment of the
indemnity agreed upon. Lord Sails
bury's objections is based upon fear
that an occupation thus begun might
become permanent.

A PARAGON OF EXCELLENCE.

ALASKA Is attracting an
enormous amount of atten-
ton just now, and every line
of matter containing refer
ence to it, is eagerly scanned
by thousands.
In view of this, perhaps it
is not out of place to mention
a few facts worth consider
ing.
1. The Alaska is con-
structed upon strictly scien-
tiflc principles, by which low
Temperature and dryness of
air are naturally and newt
able obtained.
2. The Alaska has pre-
served fresh meats perfectly
for three weeks in the hot
test weather.
;. The Alaska produces
better results with less ice
than any other.
4. The Alaska possesses
the only provision chamber
free from odOr.
:. Between the outer and
inner walls there is an inch
and a half space filled with
pure charcoal, and experience
extending over three and a
half years, has convinced
us that the Alaska is without
doubt, the best refrigerator
on the market, in construC-
ton, in power to preserve
perishable goods, in economy
of ice, and in fact, in all
points necessary to make
them flrst-class in every re-
speCt.
We have them in several
sizes, at from SIS to SIS and
also keep the Alaska ice
chests.

EVA KINDERGARTEN.

active in Honolulu kindergarten wOrE
was the key TO the situation, for new
school was to be opened at Eva, and
the little Japs were being taken down
by their teacher, Miss kellogg, to add
10 the occasion. Manager Dillingham;
&C ne railway company provided his
private car Pearl for the party OF
ladies' and gentlemen who went down
to take part IN the exercises connected
with the opening of the school. Among
these there were DR.. and Mrs. C. NJ
Hyde, Prof. and Mrs. w. D. Alexander
DR.. and Mrs. Loose, J. B. Atherton and
wife, Mrs. Helen Stock bridge, Mrs. T.
H. Hebron, Mrs. c. w. Day, Mrs. b.
L. Dillingham;, Mrs. II. n. Castle, Mrs.
Scott, Mrs. Selfridge, Miss Margaret
Hopper, Miss Laurence, Miss Buckle,
Miss Kellogg, w. A. Bowen, A. T. At
kinson, Daniel Logan and an Adver-
tiser reporter.
Arriving at Eva the party was met
by Manager Lowrie and conducted to
the school building, located about a
block from the station.
The building is a neat structure, con-
tanning one room, 24X30, furnished
with all the necessary paraphernalia of
the kindergarten, including a hand
some upright piano. To the right of
this room is a lanai 12x24. After the
building was inspected by the visitors
and others from Eva they were given
chairs, and Manager Lowrie, acting for
the Eva Plantation Company, who had
erected the building, said:
Ladies and Gentlemen:-It is GER
tainly a great pleasure TO me 10 see
so many of our citizens present at the
opening exercises of the Plantation
kindergarten, and | hope that the re-
suit of this school may be so satisfac-
tory that it viii encourage other plan
tation companies to follow suit. Before
turning over the building TO the man
ayers of the Free Kindergarten AssO-
citation | wish TO say that it will be
necessary for the manager of this plan
tation company to be consulted in all
matters pertaining to the financial eX-
pendiUures. Another thing: He should
be consulted regarding the appoint
ment of teachers. The matter OF board
ing outsiders on the plantation has al
ways been a difficult one, and for that
reason. l think, that wherever ii IS
possible, teachers should be appointed
from among the people here. l have
no more TO say. except that l think
the directors OF the plantation com
pany are entitled TO the thanks of
your organization for providing such
substantial quarters for the school"
At the close of the managers re-
marks his daughter, Miss Lowrie,
played a piano solo with excellent ef-
feet. After this J. b. Atherton arose
and said:
Il wish that the duty had devolved
upon our worthy treasurer instead OF
upon myself. However, I esteem it q
pleasant duty 10 transfer this building

conditions which the manager has
mentioned. That those conditions are

SCHOOL MATTERS.
Public Schools Open Monday With ,
Iarger Attendance Than Ever.

The fall term of the city schools be-
gins Monday next, September 6. It is
Labor day, Monday, but the schools
will be organized, the regular work of
the term being taken up the following
day. At the Central school building
all the grades of the high school will

ten. The Franklin school will have
grades TO L: SO will the Mesa school
building.
There will be an addition to the
school facilities by the establishing of
grade in the renovated quarters OF
the Mexican school on San Francisco
street. This place has two excellent
old and new, and the accommodations
are as good as any in the city. The
quarters have been disinfected, ,furnigat-
ed, wash ed and put in good shape. Ad-
ditional new furniture has been placed
n the Central building, and everything
there is in suitable condition. The
most notable change has been in the
Mexican school which will be domicil-
ed in the old custom house on South
Oregon street, and will continue to be
known as the Aoy school in honor of
the memory of the old professor who
for years WAS SO devoted to the chill
dren. There are three commOdious
rooms here with accommodations for
1sO pupils. The proprietors of the
building have renovated it we'll, re-
painted aud cleaned it, SO that one
would hardly recognize it. The fur
piture is new and of the most approved
pattern, and the yards and appurten-
snces have been overhauled and put in
order.
There will be an assignment of teach
ers tomorrow morning at the Central
school, also a teachers meeting at 10
m. to which trustees and patrons are
invited. The school age is from 5 to
10, the kindergarten age being frem

rollment will be over 1900, with an
average attendance of 1000 to HOO.
