Wild Fowl.

The Potomac has been paradise for
sportsmen the past few days being
covered with flocks of wild swan, geese
and ducks. The weather on Saturday
and Sunday was very heavy making
shooting difficult and as result very
little game was bagged. A flock of
over hundred swan seen was flying
down the river. The presence of wild
geese and swans in such number is
unusual on the Potomac in recent
years.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the

tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds. headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and

The amount of the levy upon the
railroads, which was reduced to almost
half what 1t was last year, was receiv-
ed from the Auditor. Clerk Lambert
said that upon receiving the paper he
had wired to the Auditor and asked if
a mistake had not been made. He
was informed that that was the levy
as sent in by the County Court and
that although the assessment of the
Corporation had been reduced the
assessment for the whole county re-
manned the same. It appears that
some representative of the railroads
had gotten the County Court to take
some of the levy from tae Corporation
and place it with the other districts of
the county This would save money
for the railroads, as. for every dollar
that is levied on their property, they
have to pay the Corporation tax. This
they do not have to pay in the other
districts of the county. They refused
to accept the report of the Auditor
until further investigation. The meet.
ing then adjourned.

POLITICS IN THE CHURCH.

ooh, / could play the woman with
my eyes, and braggart with my
tongue"
Yesterday the Rev. Mr.. Morehouse
fed with stones the worshippers
who gathered at the Central Union
Church for bread. The so.called
sermon was a Fourth-of- July ora
tion, with the usual brsg and bun
combe. The descendants OF the
Angles and Saxons who conquered
England in the sixth century were
eulogized, particularly those who
are Americans. The Latin races were
belittled and the Roman Church
slurred. Just what the preach
or has up his sleeve for our COM
munity may develop later. In the
meantime the pastor who has charge
OF the flock at the church named
might better examine the pabulum
to be fed to the sheep and lambs of
his fold. Soberly, Mr.. Kincaid, is it
fair to open your church doors in
one OF the most cosmopolitan com.
munities and then allow it to be be-
labored by those who are not Ameri-
cans for the shortcomings Of their
ancestors.

pEArH OF ROBERT aR1EvE.
A Pioneer Printer Passes Away in
San francisco.

By the Australia the sad news Of
the death of Robert Grieve was re-
ceived, The deceased, who was one
of Hawaii's most honored kama
ainas, went to San Francisco few
weeks ago to undergo an operation
which it was hoped would restore to
him his failing eyesight. The oper-
alton was performed but the old
man never regained consciousness
and died on the Let of July.
Robert Grieve was born in Scot
land SO years ago, and while child
went to Canada where he eventually
learned the printing trade, at which
he became very efficient. For a
while he entered the life of seafar-
ing man, and as sailor he travelled
all over the world
Eventually he again adopted his
old trade and worked on several
prominent newspapers in the East
and later on in the West. In 1879
he came to Honolulu from Sacra-
mento at the invitation of Captain
Black, then the proprietor Of the
Hawaiian Gazette. After serving a
year on that paper he joined the
staff OF the p. @. Advertiser, and
shortly after he purchased the Ga
zette and under his management
that paper became popular.
In 1887 he sold his interests in the
Gazette to the Advertiser Co. and
retired to private life. A few years
later he started the printing office
which is still in existence, and cap
ably managed by his son Louis.
The deceased leaves a widow and
two children already settled in life.
Jennie, the daughter, is married to
James Mclean, the secretary of the
IL. s. N. Co., and Louis, the son,
is showing great ability in manag.
ing the concerns Of his father.
The remains will be brought to
Honolulu for interment at the earli-
eat opportunity, probably on the
10Th inst.
In Robert Grieve Hawaii loses a

OF those in need, and always an up
right and honorable citizen

mile according to the program.
Oahu claimed the race which was
not granted as notice was given by
the judges before the race OF the
mistake. The judges taking all the
surrounding circumstances the race
was declared to be run over again
and bets declared off. The fual was
an easy thing for Kichapoo, making
the half mile in 1:06 5.
The Lei lima Stables, Willie Vida
owner, won all its races. Willie was
tickled over it and "glded bottles"
by the half dozens were emptied on
the occasion. He now hangs a new
broom over his stables at Kahului,
siguifying a clean sweep.
