may or may not be in Alaska,
but the ALASKA REFRI-
GERATOR is in Honolulu,
and we have them. This re-

excellence, is the best con-

LESS ICE than any other
refrigerator.
1t is handsome, clean, sweet
and attractive in appearance
and absolute ODORLESS.
It's atmosphere is dry and of
a uniform temperature thus
preventing the expansion and
contraction of tissues which
hasten decay of all perishable
articles. These results are
obtained in the ALASKA
REFRIGERATOR by aper-
feet circulation of air and it's

Der. No other refrigerator
produces the same DRY,
COLD air as the Alaska
which is constructed on the
purest scientifi, principles, and
has preserved fresh meats
perfectly for three weeks in
the hottest weather. With
all these recommendations it
has the only provision cham
Der absolutely free from odor.
In the use of ice it is the most
economical refrigerator in the
world. But to satisfy yourself
come and thoroughly scru-
tinize and examine it. We
can give you every guarantee.

In an interview with Mr.. Austin's
attorney, Mr. S. j. Macdonald Of
this city, the following facts were
obtained. Some weeks ago Mr..
Austin was summoned to appear be-
fore Minister Cooper. He obeyed
the summons, and was received by
Measrs. Cooper, Alexander ana
Townsend, Of the Board Of Educa-
cation. Minister Cooper presented
the following charges against Mr..
Austin, msltreatment of pupils;
using the name OF the Board Of
Education without authority, and
making improper proposals to Ha
waiian lady assistant in the Kapaa
school. After reading the charges
Mr.. Cooper upbraided Mr. Austin,
evidently believing the accusations
to be true. Mr. Austin asked to be
confronted with his accusers and to
be heard in his own defense No
notice, however, was taken OF his
just demands, and Mr.. Austin imme-
diately consulted Mr.. Macdonald in
regard to what steps he could take
in the matter At the advice of his
counsel Mr.. Austin prepared a petit
tiop which he forwarded to the
Board of Education praying for an
investigation iuto the charges made
against him and for an opportunity
to hear the evidence and to be
brought face to face with his accu-
sers Minister Cooper read the pc.
tition at meeting of the Board and
made the surprising statement which
is on record, that the petition was
premature, as no charges had been
preferred against Mr.. Austin. Short
ly after Mr.. Austin was suspended
Mr.. Austin has, of course, no re-
dress in our courts, under existing
laws, but since the matter has been
made public, he certainly should be
given an opportunity to publicly
refute the serious charges damnable
to his character and his future pro-
spects, and the results of Minister
Cooper's investigation should be
published in justice to the accused
man. Star chamber proceedings are
not wanted here.

Major Iaukea has been blinded
by the brilliant appearance and
glittering uniforms of the represent
alton of Emperors, Sultans and
savage Princes at the Diamond
Jubilee, and his simple uniform of
American pattern was unnoticed in
the throng and failed to show off to
advantage the manly star-bedecked
bosom and well shaped hind-legs OF
Kalakaua's former aide. De camp and
chamberlain.

Alas and alack, the innate love Of
truth for which The INDEPENDENT is
famous reluctantly compels us to
challenge the veraclty OF our annex
ationist contemporaries in regard to
this boiled lobster like uniform of
their Imagination. A gallant Major
of the staff informs us that there is
no such scheme on foot. The uni
form to be adopted has been worn
by the gallant Col. Iaukea for at
least the past twelve months and
differs but in a minor degree in re-
gard to certain embellishments on
the sleeves of the forearm from the
regulation uniform with which all
are presumed to be familiar, But
then it might have been, and even
now affords hook upon which to
hang a joke.

However, the scarlet uniforms are
perhaps simply a shadow of coming
events. Mr.. Damon is far sighted.

The scarlet, gold embroidered
uniform of the English staff officers
was exactly to the taste OF the Major
and after a brief consultation with
the Minister OF Finance, it was de-
cided to clothe Dole's staff on the
English plan. Gold braid and the
scarlet material were ordered, and
now we will shortly see Adjutant-
General Soper, Majors Potter, Iau-
kea and Pratt and Captain Heinrich
Berger enlivening the scenery with
their glittering apparel. 1t is to be
hoped that Mr. Dole will allow his
staff to don civilian dress, when they
escort him on visit to the Duke of
Puuwaawaa. II they get on to
Eben's ranch in scarlet, there will
be a stampede among the four-leg
ged bulls, which might end disas-
trously.

Would it not be proper now to
devise some kind Of uniforms Tor
Mr.. Dole and his Cabinet? Sur
rounded by the scarlet and gold,
Dole will look like an undetaker,
and foreign visitors will pay their
respects to the men in scarlet, TAX
ing our venerable President for a
chaplain or butler. Remembering
the civic virtues Of this model re-
public, we suggest, that the toga Of
the old Romans and the laurel
wreath will be an appropriate min
isterial costume. What prettier
sight can be imagined, than Minis

She Misunderstood,

Many singers fail to realize the i'm
portance of distinct enunciation, and
the charm of beautiful voice is often
lost by the listener who is vainly strug-
Cling to catch the meaning of the song.
A young woman who considers her
self an admirable ballad singer one day
received a severe shock from the crit.
icism of an old lady who had formed
one of her audience. Among other bal
lads the singer had rendered Rory
0'More" in her best style and had re-
ceived much applause.
The old lady. who sat in the front
seat in the little hall where the enter
tainment was given, looked at first puz-
zled and then distressed as the familiar
song proceeded, and at the close of the
concert she waited to speak to the
young woman.
MY DEAR" she said in quivering
voice, Il remember when Rory
OMore' first came out. | have never
been singer myself, but have always
been interested in music, and l am sure
l never heard the words as you sang
them tonight. l am not deaf. My hear
ing is unusually good, but will you tell
RE where you get your authority for
singing:
lie poulticed the hook,
And she salted it DOWN.
For, though 1 cannot remember the
original words, am sure they were not
like that.
The young woman's face was Grim
son as she showed the old lady her copy
of the song and pointed to the words:
He bold as the hawk
And she soft as the dawn.

LIFE IN MEXICO.

Housekeeping Under Difficulties - How
Clothes Are washed-The Cooks Domain.
An American woman would grow
gray headed in month if she attempt
ed to keep house in Mexico ON the same
plan pursued by the native housewives.
There are nc water mains in the aver
age town, and water for domestic pur-
poses is drawn from the public fountains
and sold from door to door by leather
aproned vendors, who carry it in pic
turesaue vessels of hide or pottery.
Puluue and milk are brought to market
in skins of sheep, pigs and goats, which
are stripped off the animal carcass by
cutting only the neck and legs and
turned inside out, all the openings but
one being tied up securely. The natives
do not object to the flavor Of goat hide
and swineskin in the milk, but visitors
do.
The washerwomen have no faith IN
modern methods. They get 20 cents a
day and are satisfied. This sounds i'm
probable to the Chicagoan, who is be-
ing "done up" by his laundress and
has to endure it. The washerwomen all
! do their work beside an open stream of
water in a trough of stone or wood,
beating the articles with round stone,
/ piece of homemade soap and their
strong hands. No hot water is used.
The scene at the public washhouses is
an interesting one. The method breaks
buttons, bends buckles and tears goods
with the same ease as does steam
laundry in the States.
The average Mexican cook is as print
tive as the washerwoman No matter
how many times the use of a modern
cook stove were explained to her, it is
probable that she would build the fire
in the oven and put the bread to bake
in the fire box. What she would use is
called the brasero. Among the poor this
is an urn shaped affair of pottery with
hollow base, where tiny charcoal
fire may be kept alive by constant fan
ming, the whole being not much larger
than common flowerpot. In the
homes of the upper classes the brasero
is built in of brick, mortar and piles,
its surface as high as an American
cook stove, with holes a foot square, I'M
der each of which a charcoal fire is kept
burning Some of these stoves have 20
or 80 ovens, and the operation Of cook
ing is SO laborious that the cook has a
relay of assistants to prepare the vege-
tables, wash the dishes and attend the
fires. Chicago journal.

He was no worse than we.
But he was tempted, and we were not,
And we all were as bad as he.)

With stretch of rope between.

He was tempted more than we,
And not man in the sullen crew
Was better or worse than he.)

An Unfortunate Illustration.
One of St. Joseph's able orators once
accepted an invitation to speak at a
Fourth of July celebration in neigh
boring town. Unfortunately the enter
prising weekly in the said village saw
the point and that is what FASTENED the
orators vacation. The celebration was
all that was desired, and the orator saw
his opportunity and made the best of it,
He was i'll the midst of his Grafton when
a point was reached where the growth
of these great United States was de.
scribed. To make the effect more forci.
BILE the speaker pointed to woman in
the crowd who held babe in her arms.
In flight of imprisoned Oratory he
exclaimed:
Look at that innocent babe as il
nestles in its mothers arms. Just as ID
draws nourishment from its mothers
breast to sustain life, so has the coun-
try drawn aid and support from the peo-
pie who are upholding its integrity and
honor.
