w. 3. Oopa, a younger brother Of i.
P. Paehaole, died at his home in Ha-
lava, Molokai, at midnight on Thurs
day, April p, in his 10th year. He had
been afflicted with some internal trQu-
bic for the past year or 50 and a few
months ago, was given up 10y his
physician. He was a man we'll thought
Of by everyone on Molokai on account
of his most kindly qualities. Many
Honolulu people who have visited Mo
lokai, have partaken of the hospitality
Of the Paehaole home, where deceased
was one of the most anxious to make
his guests feel comfortable. Deceased
was a very active and hard working
man, and it is believed that his untime-
Iy death was caused by the strain to
which he continually subjected himself.
Some idea Of his work can be gained
when it is stated that he had a record
of pounding and putting up for the
Leper Settlement, 80 bundles of pai-ai.

GOVERNMENT ADVERTISING.
A New System Planned TO Save
Money.

A special committee composed OF a repro
sentative from each executive department
of the government, of which Chief Clerk
Theodore F. Swayze of the Treasury De-
partIsent was chairman, has perfected a
system providing for uniformity of method
in public advertising. The investigations
of the committee disclosed great diversity
in existing practices in the departments,
which not only tended TO confuse publish
ers, it is said, but also worked to the dis
advantage Of the government. Under the
new method, by which identically the same
terms are to be used by all the depart
merits, matters are simplified, 1t is claimed,
and there will be a considerable saving Of
money to the government.
rms matter has features of special in
terest to Washington publishers. The act
OF Congress Of January q, 1881, provided
that ''all advertising required by existing
law to be done in the District of Columbia
by any Of the departments of the govern
weekly newspaper of each of the two prin-
cipal political parties, and TO one daily and
one weekly neutral newspaper"
1t was found that the departments put
using six papers, while others used one
only. The former Attorney General, Mr..
McKenna, was consequently called on for
an opinion In the premises, and that OFF,
Ger TespoIoeu py HoiulnS III SuDstance tnat
there is no existing law requiring adver-
tisements to be inserted in six newspapers
published in the District of Columbia.
This decision practically leaves the mat
ter entirely In the discretion Of the heads
of the departments.
1t was also found that the requirements
of the act of Congress of July 81 1896,
providing that ''in no case of advertise
ncnts for contracts for the public serv-
ice shall the same be published and printed
In the District of Columbia unless the sup
plies or labor covered by such advertise
ments are to be furnished or performed In
said District of Columbia" often worked
to the disadvantage Of the government, Mr..
Swayze says, and its repeal is recommend
ed TO heads of departments.
