TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The food Inspector should be
granted plenary powers to inspect
the food fed to so many of us in
the popular restaurants where, ap-
parently, adulteration of food is
scandalously barefaced. With pure
food politics would be run in more
harmonious grooves for our diges-
tion and would be sweetened with
good temper instead of being marred
with dyspepsia and appendicitis.

For the information of those resi-
dents of Honolulu who prefer to
receive their home news from abroad
we clip the following item from the
S. f. Call:
False Report Of Liliuokalani's Death.
HAwAIIANS MOURNING THE SUPPOSED DE-
MISE OF THEIR FORMER QUEEN.
VICTORIA, B. c., June 17.-Hawaii's
natives are chanting their wierd
death songs and generally proclaim
ing their sorrow, according to an
cient customs, under the impression
that ex-Queen Liliuokalani is dead.
The rumor left here on the Miowera
on her last sailing, it is said, some of
passengers announcing at Honolulu
that she had succumbed in New
York to an operation performed for
cancer. AS it was to undergo such
an operation that Liliuokalani visit
ed the States, her people at once ac-
cepted the story as true and assum-
ed mourning. Euen the white popula-
tion and The press Endorsed the story as
highly probable and this fully confirm
ed itin the eyes of The natives.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-06-30

In course of time when we live
under the American constitution
and become civilized the people will
be permitted, if they so desire, to
drank healthy wine and beer with
their meals instead of the "rotgut"
stuff they are now compelled to
swallow under variously, disguised
names at the restaurants. In course
of time also the mephitic odors
which arise after nightfall over the
city as funeral pail will have van
ished and health and contentment
will clad US as with a joyous gar
ment.

The resignation of Mr.. F. A. Hos
mer from his position as principal
of the Oahu College will be deeply
regretted. Mr.. Hosmer has proven
himself very efficient as tutor and
manager OF the big college and all

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness Is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever, nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an lnfamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of deafness (caused by
Catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for our
circulars; free.
