position.

George II. De la Nergne, the present
incumbent, desires to step down from
the bench the latter part of this week.
HIS resignation, submitted to the Gov
ernment some two months ago, was to
take effect on May /. But he notified
the President this week that he would
not leave the Government in a lurch
and will continue to preside over the
Police Court until his successor shall
have been chosen and duly qualified.
This will give President Dole an op-
.portunity to select a good man for the
place in case Mr.. Wilcox should decline
the appointment. Mr.. Wilcox is at
present Hawaiian court interpreter
and proprietor of the Kalihi poi fac
tory. His position as court interpreter
paws him about as well as the police
judgeship would.
Some of Mr.. Wilcox's friends say
that he will not accept the honor fol
financial reasons.
Mr.. Wilcox's refusal would open the
field for other attorneys now practic
| ing before the Police Court. Among
those most prominently mentioned fol
the place are w. A. Henshall, in Gen
eral A. S. Hartwell's office, and Geo
A. Davis. 1t is known that other
young lawyers would be very happy e
get the plum.
1t is the intention of Judge De I:
Vergne to open law office in the Ole
post Office building upon his retire
ment from the bench. He has won tht
respect and confidence of the members
of the bar by his fair and impartia
rulings during his service in the Pc
! lice Court

THE PRESENT POLICY MAY BE
INTERRUPTED
limitations that There May BE De-
velopments Before Long in the Ha-
waiian Matter-General Legislation.

Intimations are had that there are
likely to be developments before long
in the Hawaiian matter. 1t is reported
that the present policy of inaction on
rupted by the sudden importance of
this question, says the Washington
Star of the 18th. Suggestions with re-
lation to the matter are more or less
vague, but the idea conveyed is that
the question is assuming an important
aspect. 1t is believed that a situation
is developing which is giving the adj
ministration some uneasiness, and
which will inevitably lead to speedy
action on the part of this country 1t
is regarded as not improbable that an
annexation treaty may be negotiated
and sent to the Senate, but it may be
that before this Congress will be
called upon to sustain the administra-
tion in preventing any foreign power
from interfering in Hawaiian affairs.
a number of Republican Senators
are discussing the advisability of talk
ing up general legislation during the
present session of Congress in opposi-
ton to the plan that has been adopted
looking to confining largely to the in
crease of the tariff, for which it was
called.
The advocates of general legislation
are basing their arguments upon the
claim that such a course will be help
rather than hindrance to tariff leg
islation. They claim that with the
tariff bill in the Senate there are a
couple hundred Representative forced
nothing to do except to hold them
selves in readiness to vote on the tar
if bill when it goes back to the House
. of Representatives. The only occupa'
ton they are able to find is in endeav
oring to effect tariff changes in which
they are interested while the bill is in
the Senate, and the finance committee
has already experienced the pressure
which this brings upon them. 1t is
claimed that if the House were en-
gagged in considering other Legislative
matters, the members would be able
to do something for their constituents
and would be kept busy. In Other
words. the Senators who are being i'm
portuned by Representatives to Sc
cure changes of the bill think theil
troubles are another verifcation of tn,
old adage "The devil always finds some
work for idle ..ands to do" and they
want to occupy the idle hands at the
other end of the Capitol.

THERE MAY BE FUN.

Among the items set down for the
consideration of the Board of Health
at it's regular meeting this afternoon
is the Waikiki quarantine controversy
which was fully aired last week. Min
lister of Foreign Affairs Cooper, Col
lector General Castle and the other
officials in quarantine, it is believed
will be present to refute the charges
of violation of the quarantine made by
C. A. Brown. Mr.. Brown states that
he will be at his place wnen the Board
is called to order, fully prepared tc
substantiate his charges.

BOILER NOW IN POSITION
IMPROVEMENTS ARE COMPLETED
At PUMPING STATION.
Wonderful Piece of Mechanism and Is
Said to BE Absolutely Safe from Ex-
plosion-Highest Possible Standard.

Out in the new pumping station on
Beretania street has just been COM
pleted an improvement which has cost
this Government in the neighborhood
of $4,000. The new Stirling water tube
safety boilers, $50 horse power, which
arrived on the Warrimoo, have just
been set into position by Robert A.
Craig, a mechanic sent out by the
company from Ohio. They are now
in full operation and are being daily
inspected by many citizens.
The new boilers cost $2,250 and are
wonderful pieces of mechanism. They
are said to be absolutely safe from ex-
plosion, by Allen Stirling, the founder.
Mr.. Stirling announced privately at
meeting of the American Society of
Engineers, at Atlanta, Ga, in May,
1885, that he had designed boiler
which would make its mark in the
world Two years later the boilers
were introduced and consisted merely
mud drum. They were crudely con-
structed, and in their erection Etule
attention was paid to the minor de-
tails, which are of such great inn
portance in the aggregate, in deter
mining the character of the boiler
plant. Crude, however, as the first
boilers were. they demonstrated that
the theory of the inventor was a good
one.
The Stirling company was formed
and shops erected at Barberton, Ohio.
The grade of boilers which the 1Ia-
waiian Government has purchased
from this company are of the highest
possible standard
The feed water enters the rear up
per drum thence it passes down the
rear bank of tubes to the mud drum;
during the passage from the rear
upper drum to the mud drum, the
water is heated within a few deeI ees
of that in the front banks of tubes,
and it moves in direction opposite
to that of the furnace gases, which
pass into the stack at the point where
the coolest water enters the boiler.
This method of feeding the waters,
eliminates all elements of danger from
explosions.
The Honolulu pumping 2lant is an
interesting place to one Interested in
machinery. On the Alapai street side
are two 1O-inch wells. one 500 feet and
another $50 feet deep. The water is
drawn up through q 50-inch suction
pipe, distributed into the main pump,
containing 143 suction valves and lis
discharge valves. The water is tn IN
carried into~two large columns which
contain 1000 gallons of water. From
these columns the water is forced
through discharge pipe 2S inches in
diameter. This plant supplies the en-
tire city with water as far as Dia-
mond head, MaRiki and Punchbowl
reservoirs, Makiki plains, Fertilizing
,, works and up to Nuuanu to Judd
street. The plant is kept in operation
twelve hours day and during that
time supplies about 3,500,000 gallons of
water to, the city. 1t is run very eco
nomically. w. w. Boyd, who has been
in the Government employ for over
four years is in charge.

SOCIAL.

The interest manifested in the cooking
school is waxing warm at every meet
ing. The ladies are constantly express
ing themselves of being DESTROYS OF be-
coming better housewives, and these les
sons from Mrs. Rorer will have a marked
influence upon the culinary artists of our
city, for it is in this line of duty that
some of them have decided talents, and
they are constantly reaching out for
higher authority.
The magnitude of Mrs Rorer's subject
cannot be estimated, as she broadens
upon them as she teaches, making her
practical demonstrations so clear that
the most ignorant can comprehend. In
her lessons she impresses upon us the inn
portance of food that supplies the entire
body with nourshment; hence mothers
can learn how to build children into
strong men and women. Mothers are
the architects of nations.
At D. IN. today Mrs. Rorer will lecture
on the subject, what to Eat and How
to Eat IT. Gentlemen are especially in
vited to hear this lecture. Mrs. Rorer
had an audience of 900 men last week
in New York to hear this important SUBJ
ject discussed.

decided that no furniture, express or
drayage wagons would be allowed to
stand on either side of Twentieth street
between First and Morris avenue at the
time of formation or during the time of
parade of Monday. This was done to
obviate the possibility of an accident
such as occurred last year by people
falling off the wagons or getting in the

wearing masks during the night was re-
ferred to the mayor.
An informal discussion of the advisa-

cording to efficiency and time of service
was INDUCED in, but no definite action
taken.
