Better Without Them.

No women nurses will be allowed
to accompany the troops to Manila
THIS has bseu definitely decided up
on by the army authorities, who Will
sac that their will is enforced The
Secretary of War alone will have the
power in future to grant an order
which will permit any of the gentltr
Sax from accompanying troops on
transports. The rule thus made
does not effect nurses only, as the
wives of commanding officers, should
they desire to accompany their
husbands, must do so on the regular
passenger steamers, unless they are
favored by the Secretary OF War.
Conduct which created much gossip
on the part of the nurses on the
Arizona is what has caused the order
to be made. 1he officials do not
make this, however, "a particular
ground for dlvorciug women from
the hospital department, but say
that the service is better without
them.-S + CON

A DIFFERENT pEMEANoR.

The morning oracle, which is con-
stsntly hammering at the Bishop OF
Honolulu, with the same regularity
as the appearance of the advertise
ment of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, in
yesterday mornings issue prayed
and hoped that the "mean" bishop
would get sat upon by the Court,
intimating at the same time that the
Bishop had no case, when it knows
very we'll it is not his case but that
of his opponents. Now this morn
ing it anticipates that the Bishops
opponents are going to be beaten,
and that they will appeal the case.
The morning granny" certainly
knows more about its partisan gym
psthy than it ever cares to know
about the facts and merits of the
controversy.

Kl0ndykian Cold.

In a warm climate, such as
ours, ice is an abso utely ne
ces~ity as food preserver
and d means towal DIS preserv-
ing an equal temperature of
body and mind. Ice chests
and refrigerators are no long
tr a luxury but a necessity
and the wise woman always
selects the best for her house
hold. This undoubtedly is
the Alaska as experience has
proved.
The ALASKA is constructed
upon strictly scientific prin-
ciPals, by which low tempera-
ture and dryness of air are
naturally and inevitably OBJ
tained
The ALASKA has preserved
fresh meats perfectly for three
weeks in the hottest weather
and produces b tier results
with less ice than any other.
The ALASKA has the only
provision chamber free from
odor, for between the outer
and inner walls there is an
inch and a half space filled
with pure charcoal, and ex-
prrience has convinced all that
the ALASKA is without doubt,
the best refrigerator on the
market, in construction, in
pret erving perishobl- goods,
in economy of ice, and in all
points necessary to make
them first- cla-s.
We have them in several
sizes, at from $l5 to $25 and
also ket p the ALASKA Ice
CHESTS.

Commissioner North yesterday
refused Michele Curto permission to
land at this port and ordered him
sent back to the port in British
Columbia from whence he came.
Curto. who is an Italian, stated in
his affidavit made to the inspect ors,
that he was 27 years old and had
been working as a miner at Comox,
B. @. He left that place to go to
Angels Camp, in Calaveras county,
under contract to work in the
Utica mine for $40 per mouth, and
that he would never have thought
OF coming to the United States had
it not been for this contract and
the $40 per month promised him.
His deportation was ordered on the
ground OF being contract laborer.-

should be. adopted to be used, when

gests few signals, which could be
used to notify the tug.boat, pilots,

ping. As an example he suggests B.

New YoaK, Nov. 8.-The United

Santiago and Havana, has arrived in
quarantine. There are on board
about 400 persons, including a
number OF sick men. Captain
Hanlon was much surprised to learn
that any unessiness had been felt
for the ships safety. He said that
shortly after leaving Santiago he
ordered the vessel cleaned up be
tween decks. Numerous boxes aud
material thrown overboa I'd drifted
toward shore, aud this, no doubt,
gave rise to the report that the
transport had been wrecked.

Barbed Wire Fences.

Ed. The INDEPENDENT:-
Kindly inform mo whether there
is law against the use of barbed
wire for fences along the highroadsa 7
On Punchbowl street near Miller
street property holder is using
barbed wires on his fence, and at a
funeral from house opposite a few
days ago several people got their
clothes torn, and there was immi-
nent danger for the hack horses.
The property, | believe, belongs to
the Superintendent of Public Works,
Mr.. Rowell. Is he above the lawi
DRIVER.
The following is the law relating
to barbed wire fences:
AN "AoT" TO PROHIBIT THE ERECTION
OF BARBED WIRE FENCES, AND THE
PLACING OF BARBED WIRE UPON
FENCES IN CERTAIN PLACES.
Be it enacted by the Legislature Of
the Republic OF Hawaii:
Section l. From and after the
passage Of this Act it shall be un-
lawful for any person to build or
erect any fence made or constituted
wholly or partly OF barbed wire
along or adjoining any public high
way, or to place upon or attach to
any such fence any barbed wire.
SECTION 2 Any person violating
Section | OF this Act shall be deem
ed guilty Of a misdemeanor, and,
upon conviction thereof shall be
liable to pay a fine not exceeding
one hundred dollars or be imprison-
ed at hard labor not more than one
month.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take
effect from the date of its publica-
tion.

We are pleased to think that the
present barbarian methods Of the
police officers in dragging people
who drive without light or com.
NIT similar trivial offenses to the
Police Station regardless OF the
reason of cause OF such alleged
offsnses, will soon be abandoned
If person 10 London, Paris or
other civilized city offends against
some petty law he is politely invited
by the police officer to give his
name and address and appear be
fore a magistrate next morning. A
few days ago the steward OF the St.
Paul was driving some of the hos
pital nurses to their quarters shortly
after dark-the moon was shining
brightly. While taking the rig to
the Hotel Stables he was arrested by
a police officer for violation of law
IN driving without llght; taken To
the Police Station aud the following
morning charged with the hideous
offerse Of taking buggy back to
the livery stable between z and 8 in
the evening without having light.
The man did not know our rigid
laws and was at loss to understand
why be should be treated as a crimi-
nal and locked up. 1t is to be hoped
that some latitude will be given
police officers to use some discretion
in carrying out their responsible
work. And it wouldn't be a bad
idea to get officers who have intelli
gence enough to use discretion.

The irrepressible Gorham D. Gill
man has rushed into print again
and added some more columns of
mis-statements, falsehoods and deli
berate lies to his former stock in
trade in regard to the "history" of
Hawaii since 1898. 1t makes of
course very little difference now
what the "Star OF Betelhem" writes
or says about the revolution in Ha-
waii; even his own clique is aware,
that even If he could tell the truth
he wouldn't do it.
May we suggest to the Road
Supervisor that his staff of road
sweepers do their cleaning up Of the
streets during the night instead Of
in the morning. AS soon as stores
and Offices open in the morning, the
broom brigade appear and raise the
dust. After the stores have been
covered with dust and bacteria aud
the white suits of the business men
dirtied, appears the sprinkler letting
loose perfect deluge OF water which
in moment turns the street into a
gigantic swamp preventing people
from crossing without having their
"shines" spoiled. OF course the
people are not entitled to any con-
sideration and they must go on
dragging out their existence be-
tween the Road Supervisors dust
and mud.
Charles Petersen, the faithful
"lookout" at Diamond Head sug.
gests, that something should be
done to enable him to communicate
with the city without depending on
the telephone service altogether
We fully agree with Mr.. Petersen,
and claim that the seafaring people
near the entrance to our hsrbor
should be given all possible chances
for obtaining assistance in case OF
maritime disaster. A lofty flagpole
should be planted at the lookout
