CALLED AWAY.
Russell d. walbridge Is Gathered
Into the Fold.

Into the Fold.
The sudden death of Russell d.
Walbridge, which occurred this
morning made many a man whom
he in days gone by had befriended
wipe away tear and give SYM
pathetic thought to him who, with
all his faults was well-beloved, and
whose heart always was in sympathy
with those who we're poor and suf-
fering.
Poor Walbridge, an intelligent,
bright and clever American, who
the writer remembers as the politi-
cal leader of the missionary" circles
on Maui, and then cast aside like the
peel Of an orange after the Baldwin
clique had used him.
He was noble opponent in the
days of political fighting. He was
man to the back bone then, and if
he had met the gratitude due to
him, instead of the rank ingratitude
offered him by the men he served,
the writer might yet have had the
pleasure of sharpening our political
sword and hear our steel clashing
against each other or side by side
against the opponents as the case
might be.
Russell Walbridge was born in
1S49 in Buffalo. He was an engineer
of marked skill and received a
thorough education at the Poly
technic Institute of Troy. In Idaho,
he learned the practice Of mining
engineering and event ntually he
graduated in 1871 as civil engineer.
In 1873 he arrived in Honolulu,
and accepted position at the Wal
luku Plantation on Maui. Upon
the death of his father in 1880, he
went home and returned to Hawaii
in 1884, when he again accepted an
appointment at the Wailuku Planta-
tion, of which he eventually became
the manager.
Walbridge married Miss Bernice
Parke in 1890. This amiable lady
survives him with one child. the
issue of their happy union.
Mr.. Walbridge, whose untimely
death it is our sad duty to record
was always gentleman, an accom-
plished scholar, clever politician
and man who only had friends in
this, his adopted country.
The time of his funeral will be
announced to- morrow.

TOPICS OR The DAY.

Our politicians may possibly take
as a gubernational straw, showing
which way the Washington winds
blow, the fact that Mr.. S. M. Ballou,
in the Supreme Court yesterday
morning, addressed General A. S.
Hartwell as "Governor" with
meaning smile wreathing his mouth.
What say you editors of the Adver-
tiser and Bulletin to this freak of
worthy fortune7 No one can doubt
this generals Americanism and he is
also also resident of Hawaii. Con-
stitutionally and Territorially he is
eligible.
Last evenings shower showed the
wretched condition in which the
drainage of the streets is maintain
ed. At upper Fort street between
Beretania and Hotel, for instance,
the water rose to the level of the car
tracks in the centre of the road, and
to cross dry-footed at the corner of
Fort and Hotel was for some
minutes impossible. This comes from
not keeping the gutter ways clear of
rubbish when the sweepers are
around. Perhaps, when we obtain
our new government with new men
as captain and crew, things may be
changed for the better. If not we
must follow San Francisco's example
and get the merchants to take hold
of matters and instil new life into
the governmental moribunds.
The INDEPENDENT has taken no
active stand in the differences be-
tween the so-called first and second
congregations of st. Andrews
Cathedral. We believe that discip-
line must be upheld in church, as
much as in an army. All who claim
allegiance to the Anglican Church
must bow to the Bishop, placed at
the head of the local branch OF the
church. The parsons who have tried
to fight the Bishop of Honolulu,
and have caused discordance in Ha-
waii will not be encouraged by the
congregation, which as whole is
loyal and true to their church. The
following paragraph from the last
number of the Honolulu Diocesan
Magazine should be carefully read
by the "parsons" as we'll as by the
congregation. 1t says: "The legal
advisers of the Rev. Alex. Mackin-
tosh would have done we'll to point
out to him that the Canon Law
(Chalcedon IX) expressly forbids a
clergyman having matter against
a Bishop to run to the secular courts
OF justice" 1t seems pity, that
Christians should injure the great
religion of the civilized world by
squbbling over trifes. We still be-
lieve that the quarrel between the
two congregations can be described
as fight between "Cocoanut OiP
and "Lubin's Extract" But it should
be remembered that the church
which Bishop Willis represents
came here, not in the interest OF the
"Lubin Extract" faction, but for the
benefit of the "Cocoanut Oil" crowd
comprising the natives OF Hawaii,

We haven't a Roundabout Town

pers-if we did, our friend, j. d.
Cook would figure in good write
up. In the absence of such mar

happened to our friend Cook the
best we can Mr. Cook was enter
tanning a crowd by telling some of
his experiences as a teacher in Mis-
sissippi, back in the 7O's, and among
his interesting narratives, he told
about thrashing boy within an
inch of his life. When he had fin
ished and the laugh was over, he
was approached by big man, who
had been an interested listener on
the outside of the group, though a
stranger to all and with extended
hand said, How do you do, Pro-
fessor Cook. The two shook
hands and the stranger said, 81
see you don't recognize me, and |
will say am the boy to whom you
referred to just now as whipping
me within an inch of my life, and |
wish to say that promised myself
then to give you whipping the
first time ] met up with YOU The
crowd yelled at this, and many of
them told him to wade into Cook
and they would pay the fine, but
time bad softened the animosity of
the man, and he enjoyed meeting
Mr.. Cook as though he had never
been hit a lick, They parted good
friends and the crowd enjoyed the
denouement of the meeting.

From signs we see pasted up on
Broad street, we would infer that
the West Side of the city is going
to chop down some sidewalks to
street grade, as is being done on
this side of the line, We learn
that State street will be overhauled
and the high sidewalks cut down to
grade, We would like to see some
work done to Clinton street after
this work is completed for it stands
in need of an overhauling from
Pine street to the canal. When
these two streets are cut down to
grade, the West Side will practical

THE ARMY SANDWICH,
One Variety That the Old Veteran
Doesn't Find Served Now.

One Variety That the Old Veteran
Doesn't Find Served Now.
From the New York Sun.
Il read the other day." said a civil war
veteran, that there are made nowadays
including some that are peculiar to sea-
sons and some that are made to order
seventy-five different varieties of sand
witches, and that you can always find
ready in the big establishments where such
things are sold twenty or thirty varieties.
L don't doubt that for a minute, but I'd
like to bet that there's kind OF sand
wich that you could not find at any of
them at any season, and that is one that,
If not exactly popular was at least widely
known and in some parts of the country
extensively some thirty-odd years ago,
namely the pork sandwich.
This sandwich was peculiar to the army.
When the dinner call sounded you got
your tin cup and walked up the company
where the camp kettles hung from a pole
supported at the ends by crotched sticks
driven in the ground Pork, hard bread
and coffee for dinner, and if there was
plenty of hard bread you helped yourself
from an open box; If there wasn't plenty,
then the cook or somebody helping him
dealt it out as the men came up so many
crackers to man. Then the cook gave
you your slice of pork, you held out your
crackers and he laid it on the top one.
Then you got your coffee. and started for
your tent, walking down the company
street, juggling the pork top of the
crackers in one hand and the old pint cup
filed with coffee in the other. You did it
without dropping the one or splitting drop
of the other There was skill born of long
practice.
"Scrumptious dinner? Well. like good
many other things. that depended heap
on circumstances. If we hadn't had anything
to eat for a week, then a pork sandwich
with a cup of coffee was a great delcacy
If we hadn't had anything to eat for a
week but pork sandwiches, then they got
to be Just a shade monotonous."

BABY IN A VALISE.
Odd Experience Related by an Old
Time Conductor.

Odd Experience Related by an Old
Time Conductor.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Carrying a baby in a grip is a new
wrinkle on me-" remarked an old-time pal
ace car conductor at a downtown hotel
the other night 1T was away out in
western Iowa. he continued, that the in
cident I am about to relate happened. I
had two porters in my car. One was the
regular porter. who is familiar with the
travelling public. and the other darby was
IL st being broken in He was on the first
run and wanted to catch on to the bus
mess. Well, somewhere west of Marshall
town an elderly man climbed on the Sleep
er. He had two grips, one fat one, the
other a mere hand grip. He remarked to
the porter to handle the bags very careful
~ and to keep them upright.
THE man went into the smoking apart
nent and ordered his grips placed in his
berth 1t 30 happened that the new porter
stand how 1t happened that there wasn't a
tragedy on that car, for he took the fat
grip and gave 1t a big toss landing it up on
the top berth There wasn't a sound.
Pretty soon the man came out of the
smoker and proceeded to retire. He made
considerable fuss about the rough way in
which his grips had been handled and the
finding of the large one upstairs. In the
night some time a babys voice heard.
The little one cried several times but al
ways quieted down. The sound was traced
to the berth of the man who had been
fussy about his grips Next morning he
did not get up, and remained in the berth
until the train reached Chicago.
when he left the car the big grip was as
heavy as ever, and the porter received the
same precautions about careful handling
l managed to get around in front of him
and asked him If the baby was all right
He looked a little puzzled and then answer
ed in the most Indifferent way that 1t was
all right, but had spent a rather restless
night. He said he always carried it In the
grip to avoid appearance, taking along
several bottles of milk when on long
