THE ROAD TO WEALTH.

In my opinion, the secret of money
making depends chiefly upon five
things--push, "squareness," clear
medicines, economy and rigid ad-
herence to the rule of not overwork-
ing. Too much work is worse than
no work at all 1t undermipes the
! constitution and units a man mental
" and physically for the battle of
| life Ten hours day of steady work
| is as much as any man-no matter
how robust-ought to attempt. In
addition to these things, avoid being
too grasping; better make small
profit by sure means than attempt to
make larger one by uncertain and
| risky measures

AT SUNDAY SCHOOL.

The Sunday school teacher had
reached a point in the lesson where she
was dwelling upon the future reward
of those who behaved properly here,
when the audacious small boy, who
frequents most Sunday schools, spoke
up and asked if all good people went
to heaven. "Certainly," replied the
teacher. "Well, has my grandmother
gone to heaven?" persisted the young,
ster. Surely she has, my boy, il
she was a good woman" No. she
hasn't" declared the youngster,
''there she is over there" The
teacher turned to other phases of the
lesson

1T was a horrible situation to be

to see II he had the list of eatables
that his wife wanted. "If am ever
married again | shall rise up and as
sert my self, and not allow myself TO
be the nonentity that was at my
late wedding. My wife wanted Il
unique wedding, and she got it.
Among the many silly propositions
put forward by interested friends was
that the best man should take charge
of our Honeymoon, and that We were
not to know where we were going
until he handed us the tickets at the
station. Office ed TO the idea at the
start, but my wife thought it would
be SO romantic, and-well, what said
against it had no effect. When we
left the house there was such a shower
Of congratulations, old shoes and rice,
that the best man forgot to give us
our tickets, and | didn't notice the
oversight until the conductor came to
punch the tickets several miles from

while my wife shook the rice from her
clothes, and the passengers smiled.
1t was simply impossible to remain
there, so we got out at the first stop

SEPARATE TAISTS GOING OUT
OF FASHION.
In spite of the fact that all the smart
dressmakers are sending OUT costumes
this season made with skirt and waist,
and also that the best fashion advance
notes cell us that separate waists are
no longer fashionable. there have
never been so many different styles of
waists and skirts worn that have alb
SOlultlJ JO ciC W GllC oOLiCi.
Perhaps the very number worn is the
reason that the fashion is said to be
on the wane In the mean time, par
ticularly while hot weather lasts, wo-
men are certain to make the best of
this most convenient style of dressing,
ard consequently the manufacturers
of the fancy shirts have taken ad.
vantage of the present demand, and
are turning out quantities of most be-
witchipg and attractive shirt waists,
while the more elaborate waists of
lawn, cambria, etc, made not only by
machine, but by hand, are, to use a
trade expression, flooding the market.
The plainest kinds of shirts, made in
the cheapest materials, but Of sur
prisingly good cut, are sold ready
made for less than dollar. There
are other shirt-waists- the pattern of
which is much the same, but OF course
better cut and titted-which are sold
for several dollars. 1t is easily seen,
therefore, that there are enough to
choose from. -Hdrper' s BdzGr.

COMING PACIFIC CABLE TAKE THE NAVERLY BLOCK
CORLISS OF MICHIGAN TO BE THE
INTRODUCER.
House Bill No. Will Prove to be of
Immense Interest to the Hawaiian
Islands.

WASHINGTON, December 3.-House
bill l will be a measure providing for
the construction of the much h-needed
Pacific cable, IL Representative Corliss
of Michigan is successful in carrying
out his present plans. He has a bill
prepared and will introduce it at the
first opportunity tomorrow. The bill is
Identical with that introduced by Cor
l1sS last session, which failed of pass
age. 1t provides for the construction Of
cable by the Government, the line to
run from San Francisco to Honolulu
and by way of Guam to Manila The
measure was antagonized last session
by the Scrymser Company and others
who wanted the cable built by private
enterprise and with the aid of a Gov
ernment subsidy. The same influences
doubtless will renew the fight this year
against the Corliss plan.
The following remarks upon the Paci-
fic cable appear in the Presidents
message:
The Japanese Government has shown
lively interest in the proposition of
the Pacific cable to add to it's projected
cable lines to Hawaii, Guam and the
philippines branch connection with
the coast of Japan. 1t would be a gra-
trying contamination were the utility
of the contemplated scheme enhanced
by bringing Japan and the United
States into direct telegraphic relation.
Without repeating the observations
of my special message of February 10.
1899, concerning the necessity of a cable
to Manila, l respectfully invite atten-
tion to it.
L recommend that in case Congress
should not take measures to bring
about this result by direct action of the
Government the Postmaster General
be authorized to invite competitive bids
for the establishment of a cable the
company making the best responsible
bid to the awarded the contract, the
successful company to give ample bonds
to insure the completion of the work
within a reasonable time.

CoMMENDABLE ENTERPRISE.

The Honolulu Steam Laundry with
commendable enterprise has doubled
their force and will run night and day
to accommodate the increased demand
upon them for washing. In addition
they have arranged to thoroughly dis
infectand sterilize all washing that goes
through their hands, and return it
done up in special prepared paper. This
in addition to the great accommoda-
tion 1t will be to the community is a
sanitary measure that will add to the
speedy determination of the disease.
They will call for and deliver the wash
ing, and all that is necessary, is to ring
up their telephone No. 5S3 and give
them your order and place of residence.

NO COMMUNICATION WITH SHORE
ALLOWED.
More Island Vessels Being Sent to
Join the Fleet-Dispatch Boat Sent to
Kauai.

The fleet of vessels outside the har-
Dor in quarantine was Joined last by
the Mokolii, to wait for seven days in
sight of her destination, which is Mo-
lokai. The Warren is still at anchor.
1t is supposed that Colonel Beck woulu
land his men on quarantine island
should there be any outbreak on the
ship. The presence of plague on a YES
sci crowded with negroes would create
a terrible situation if she were in mid
ocean.
The island vessels had a lively time
last night. There was a heavy awell
on and before dark they could be seen
rolung severely. Later the swell in
creased and the waiting Passengers
must have had Unsteady first night,
No communication is allowed between
the shore and the anchored vessels.
Many people were anxious to send mes
sages and letters to friends and re-
latives among the fleet, as was done
during the cholera quarantine, but the
Board of Health decided that nothing
must pass from the city to the steamers
Today the Lehua will join the walt
ing steamers. Tomorrow morning the
Mauna Loa goes out and in the after
noon the Niihau will drop her anchor
beyond the channel. The Maui arrived
this morning and will also be sent out
and the Noeau, which went as a dis
patch boat to Kauai, will return at
once and anchor with the rest. This
will make the number of island steam
ers outside nine. ]. p. Cooke went as a
passenger in the Noeau, to carry news
to Kauai and give the people there the
Board of Health's instructions.

The work done by George Carter IN
the block bounded by Pauahi Hotel,
Maunakea and River streets, is typical
of what is being done and what has
been done in all the other blocks. With
six assistants he visited every house
and every room in every house, and
every yard. All sinks were cleaned
all cesspools were disinfected. Every
bit of rubbish and filth was gathered
up and burned in the street. A thor
ough cleaning was insisted on and COM
PEELED. The amount of rubbish of every
kind, decaying vegetable and animal
matter thus destroyed was astounding.
Two barrels of lime were used and two
barrels of disinfectant.
What George Carter did in his dis
trict others did in theirs. Garret p.
Wilder assisted by Albert Hoogs had
charge of the block in which the Chi
nese died at 113 King street and gave
it a similar treatment. d. L. Conklin,
@. H. Berry and the others in charge
of other districts did similar work.
Quite a number of people have been
passed through the lines to the quaran-
tined district and back, and the inspec-
tors and their assistants go back and
forth without interruption. This morn
ing President Cooper of the Board OF
Health stated that no more passes
would be given. except for people in
whose cases they were necessary and
that an ispector would be sent to ac-
company every visitor.

CLEANSING AUGEAN STABLES.
Work of Cleansing Out the Quarantined
Plague District.

The cleaning of Chinatown continued
again today. Since the outbreak of the
disease that has been diagnosed as
black plague, hundreds of pounds or
rubbish of all sorts has gone up in
smoke.
The condition in which Chinatown
has been found by the inspectors is in
describable. In some tenements the
atmosphere was so bad that it was no
easy task to enter at all, much less to
stay there and do the work of an in
spector. These places were crowded
with people, bunking together in no
more room than soldiers have on a
transport, and in the midst of the filth,
The inspectors in the various districts
with their assistants, entered every
home and place of business and COM
PEELED a thorough cleaning. In some
cases they had to force an entrance,
the occupants attempting to lock them
selves In. Once inside the inspectors
made the residents do the cleaning.
Each place was swept out, and disIn-
fectant spread about and in some cases
there was fumigation. The refuse was
taken into the streets and burned.
Judging by the piles heaped up on some
of the streets the rooms must have had
thick carpeting of refuse. Bonfires
were still being piled up and burned
this morning.
The quarantined district has the ap-
pearance of a thoroughly deserted
place. Often not a person but the SOL
diers is to be seen along the whole

Of cess pools and all sorts of dirt were
connected directly with the few horri-
bly, filthy rooms. Beneath the house
was stagnant pond all af fifteen feet
in diameter. A stick thrust into II
showed this to be one immense cess
pool of years standing. So terrible was
the stencil that the inspectors had to
pour diSinfectants over it before they
could enter the house.
The nuisance is so great that COM
plete alterations in the premises may
have to be made. Mr.. Cooper gave
orders this morning that will bring a
quick and complete remedy or the ar
rest OF the occupants of the place.
FOR THE PUBLIC.
The Board of Health has had prepar-

and the progress of the disease, the
method of contagion and what precau-
tions to take against the disease.

morning they saw a number of cats
