Mrs. Kaneiki Kanakanui, mother
OF S. M. Kanakanui, the well-known
Hawaiian surveyor, died on Satur-
day, the 18th instant, at 6 p. m, at
the Waikiki residence OF her son.
The deceased who was about 65
years OF age was highly respected,
and her friends feel great grief that
her devoted son was absent from
her in the last hours, having been
ordered to Hawaii on business con
nected with the Survey Department
aud unaware OF the seriousness OF
his mothers illness. The funeral
took place yesterday afternoon, the

Drought at Waikiki.


The Marshal evidently intended
to hold pleasant reception at the
Police Station yesterday afternoon,
and, knowing that his bureau is not
conducted on strictly temperance
principles, he decided to treat the
"boys" to refreshments that would
hit the proper spot.
AS liquor caunot be bought 10
Honolulu on Sundays, not even by
the police, and no special appropri
alton has been made for the pur-
chase of liquid refreshments, it was
decided to do little foragng
business.
Officers were dispatched to Wal.
kki aud the delivery wagon OF
Castle a. Cooke was borrowed to
carry the preci Gus load to town.

At Sans Souci a big haul was
made, and the stew ard Incidentally
arrested for selling liquor AT Long
Branch another load was secured,
and Colonel Sherwood wondered
whether he was living in America or
Siberia. A visit WAS paid to George
Patterson's little ranch and more OF
the stuff, which worries the al.
phahetical societies, was carried into
Castle ~ Cookies wagon. Later on
Tom Wright received visit and
was deprived OF barrel OF excellent
beer.
The authorities naturally felt
happy over the prowess OF their off
Gals, and pointed proudly to the law
OF 1888, which iorbids person from
having more than certain amount
Of liquor on his premises, aud allows
the police to confscate all surplus
stock in hand. This morning the
authorities had evidently studied law
and realized the fact that The law Of
1883 known as Ashford's EMISSION
ary" bil-had been declared uncon-
sttutional in December, 1888, by
the Supreme Court, as recorded in
the 7th volume OF Hawaiian Re-
ports.
The authorities twisted their
han dsome moust aches, looked at
each other and then wondered how
to defend their high handed action
Of taking possession OF other peo-
ple's property. A bright idea
dawned on their clouded minds, and
warrants were issued for the arrest
of Lycurgus, Sherwood, Wright and
Patterson, on charge Of selling
liquor without license.
Patterson plead guilty aud was
fined 500 by the District Judge,
while the other cases we're set for
Thursday next, when the authori-
ties will have chance to prove the
charge made.

James Bryce in au article pub
lished in the September number Of
Harper's Magazine, on "Some
thoughts on the policy of the United
States" says of Hawaiian matters:
sat the time of writing these lines
it seems probable that Hawaii will
be annexed. Epglishmen will not
regret this, SO far as England is
concerned, but many English friends
Of America will regret it for Am
-rica's sake, seeing that the balance
Of advantage to America seems to
them TO incline against the acquisi-
tion Of any trapsmarine possessions.
The case against the acquisition Of
Cuba appears, however, stronger
than against that Of Hawaii, and
the case against the Philippines the
strongest Of ALL"

JACK FROST'S
HARDY SAILORS.
Much Pleasure in Ice Boating as
in Languid Cruising.
Races for Pennant-Canadan Yachts De-
termined to Wipe Out "spook's" VIC
toy-Eastern and Western Cracks.

While the majority of yachstmen seek
the rudy hearth-fire during the winter
months and sigh for summers return,
there is a race of hardy sailors who ex-
ult in Jack F'rost's piping gales and find
as much pleasure in ice boating as do
their brethren in languid summer cruis-
ing. The winter sport is constantly
growing in popularity, and bids fair to
soon number as many devotees as its
marine rival.
Already the ice sailors season is well
under way, and SO promises to be
memorable year in the history of the
sport. The western states, Canada and
the Atlantic seaboard are each testing
their speediest racing craft, and ere the
Ice breaks up the question of superiority
will be settled
In the east the season practically
opened with the new year, and 1888
found hundreds of fleet racers spinning
over the famous New York courses. The
Hudson river, Orange Lake and the
Shrewsbury have afforded excellent sail
ing since that time, and the merits of
new boats are now well determined.
Canadian and western clubs have been
even more fortunate, as their lakes con-
gealed two weeks before the eastern
waters. Still, matters are equaliZed by
the fact that the eastern yachtsmen
have been less hindered by snow.
The trophy which will reward the sea-
sons fastest flyer is an old, tattered
pennant that for II years has served
as the goal Of every ice sailors ambl
ton. Canada and the west look with
longing eyes upon this emblem of su-
premacy and are planning to capture it
with their fleet craft. Several Canadian
racers are sure to be seen on the ice
bound waters of the Hudson ere long,
and the intended invaders feel confident
of bearing home the coveted prize. Out
on Lake Pepin, widening of the Mis-
sissippi river on it's way through Wis
consin, fleet of speedy boats is racing,
and the fastest product Of western de-
signing skill Is likely to be pitted against
both fasteners and Canadians, making
a triangular race Of exceptional inter
est.
The meeting of American and Cana
dian racers on the Hudson will not be
the first time the two nations have come
together in this branch of sport. Two
years ago the Kingston Yacht Club of
fered handsome silver challenge cup.
The Canadian critics carefully compared
the merits of the different native yachts
and settled upon a winner, but the
American Ruth upset all their caQcula-
lions by showing a clean pair of heels
to the swiftest of their fleet.
Last year the Spook, Of Cape Vincent,
N Y, repeated the trick, and proved
conclusively the superiority Of the
American model over that used across
the border. The Kingston sportsnen

A FRIENDS ADVICE.
And what it led to.

It Is not a common occurrence that
friendly word should be the means of Civ
ing nearly forty years of happiness and
health TO the person needing the advice it
carried. This was the case with Mary
Lingard. At twenty-five she was dragging
out her days in misery. At sixty-one She
finds herself SO active and strong she can
do work that would shame many younger
woman, and looks back on thirty-six
happy, healthful years of industry, But
let her tell her story:
"Thirty-six years ago had great trouble
with my liver, The doctors allowed that
there were tumors growing on it, aud they
blistered my side in an effort to give me
relief l was at that time earning my
living as a tailoress, but for lye years,
between the pain in my side and the
blisters l was in constant misery, and
work was drag to me, with no prospect
of relief; fortunately for me, however,

sapari1la, and finally persuaded me totake
a regular course of ii. When first COM
meuced taking the Sarsaparilla my side
was so painful that could not fasten my
dress, and for a time did not get any
relief, but my friend advised me to per-

come it did, This happened, as 1 say,
thirty-six years ago. NY liver has never
troubled me since, and during these years
have passed through the most critical
period Of woman's life without any par
ticuiar trouble, and to-day, at sixty-one
years of age, am active aud strong, and
