Spanish Discoveries in Going Over the
Books.
The Spanish Government has just
made some queer discoveries in the
course of an investigation of its ac-
counts TO determine where new econo-
mics might be introduced 1t seems
that in 1887 annuities were granted
to number of nuns, the youngest of
whom was at that time seventeen years
of age and the oldest sixty-six. Not
withstanding the fact that the ages of
the annuitants would now range be-
tween seventy-eight and 120 years,
none of them has apparently died, for
the pensions, amounting in all to co.
900 pesetas a year, have been drawn
regularly ever since they were grant
ed. The Church authorities have been
asked for an explanation and for proofs
that the nuns are still alive, failing
which the latter will be scheduled as
dead.

in the book:
AS lies the Sphinx upon old Egypts
sand
In silence deep while slow the years
unfold;
E ZEN so thou watchest where the waters
hold
Their sway-the waves slow marching
on the land
Till lines of foam are stretched along
the strand.
Thou seest with a glance assured and
bold,
The secret sea beneath thy feet un-
unrolled;
While spirits of the deep thou dost
command,
Or croucheth like the lion of the seas
Though years have changed thy fiery
heart to stone.
Below the plain is filled with tropic
trees,
While from the Towering shrubs and
plants is blown
A heavy fragrance on the languid
breeze;
Yet mid the beauty, thou art stern,
alone.

GOOD WATER.
Report to the Quartermaster
General Of the Army.

(Army and Navy JournaD.
Quartermaster General Ludington
gives a few details of the new depots
in the islands, to which we have fallen
heir so strangely.
Lieutenant Colonel Ruhlen, in charge
at Honolulu, reports that he has secur-
ed the necessary office rooms and store
houses for use of department head
quarters and depot, and also about fiji
teen acres of ground for corral. He
has organized and placed in service
the Government mules and wagon
transportation.
The only resources of the country for
building material are stone and sand.
The stone is a very hard and brittle
volcanic rock or lava, resembling in
color blue limestone and in texture a
very hard gritty limestone. Every
thing else requisite for construction
work, except stone and sand, will have
to be imported from the Pacific coast.
The lime used is brought from Califor-
mia, but the cement is imported Port
land, brought usually as ballast in sail
ing vessels direct from Europe. No
bricks are made, those in use having
been brought in ships as ballast from
the Pacific coast. A limited quantity
of lumber is kept on hand in local
yards, but the whole supply in Homo
lulu today does not probably exceed
100000 feet of all kinds. The price
for which it is sold is not unreason-
ably high.
All the water heretofore used by the
troops in camp and at the Quartermas-
tiers corral is that furnished by the
city water supply plant The source
of supply is artesian wells, found every
where on this island; the water bear
ing sand or gravel stratum being en-
countered at depth of from 200 to 800
below sea level, and the water usually
flows to the height of 80 feet above sea
level when confined in tubes. Almost
the entire irrigation system of the ISL
and of Oahu is supplied with water
from these artesian wells. The water
obtained from these wells appears to
be pure and free from any objection

Claims Against the County.

After the decision of Judge Piper in
Idaho county in December to the effeci
that the saloon license law was defective
it became apparent that all the saloons in
the state had been paying too much
money into the county treasury for near
ly four years:
Mcfarland & Mcfarland and John
Greene, attorneys for w. L. Boise, ]. NJ
Brown and Cash Cole have brought bill
against the county for an excess Of nearly
$4,000 and they ask rebate. The law
which fixed the high license under which
they have been paying the excess has
virtually been declared unconstitutional
There seems to be no doubt about the
equity Of the claim ifthe old statute have
been the only law Of the state all these
years.

S. l.. Thompson, after taking the oath
of Office as the newly elected coroner, re-

pointed ID. ID. Rurnham to fill the
vacancy. Mr.. Burnham gave bond in

and J. r. Noilmer as sureties and he was
sworn i'll Friday. Ira Parker who was
elected justice of peace in the East Lew
iston precinct, having declined to qualify,
Judge Thompson decided he would rather
take chances on being appointed to fill
the vacancy upon petition than to hold

sion OF the official encouragement, noted
above.

lieved that end of the city will experience

A strange man was arrested on Thursday
and confined on a charge of insanity.
He was held in the city Jail overnight
and then transferred to the county au-
thorities. He was incoherent but talked
and sang great deal. The only clue to
his identity was gathered from his rant
ings. 1t seems that he has personal
knowledge of the Medical Lake asylum
and it is believed he had either escaped
from that institution or had been dis
charged. He evidently came into the
city from the railroad camps up the val
ley. Nothing could be learned from in
terrogatories about his past or his name.
He is a foreigner, perhaps Russian.
He has been committed and will be sent
to the asylum at Blackfoot as soon as an
attendant, which has been summoned,
arrives.
