LESSON THOUGHTS.
Our very thought. word. and decd Is
entered in the book of Gods record.
Think OF IT, All the good and the bad:
the kind and the cruel. the thoughtful
and the carelessl All To be revealed
In the last day; and the blood OF Christ
Is the only thing that can ever blot out
a single record Of evil.
IL you should be called this moment
to judgment, would your name he
found in the book of life? would II BE-
confessed before the Father and his
angels? Not unless you are now con-
Tossing Christ before men.
SELECTIONS.
When the leaves Of the book shall be
unrolled
Every soul shall know what IL hath
produced,
And whosocver shall have wrou~ht an
atoms weight of good shall be-
hold IT,
And whosoever shall have wrought
an atoms weight OF evil shall
behold IL.
From the Koran.

has two angels. one on the right
shoulder and another on his left.
When he does anything good, the an
gel on the right soulder writes II down
and seals It. because what Is done Us
done forever. When he does evil. tho
angel on the left shoulder writes II
down. He waits till midnight If be-
fore that time the man bows down his
head, and eXclaims Gracious Allah;
I have sinned: forgive mel" the angel
rubs II out: and II not. at midnight he
seals II. and the angel upon the right
shoulder weeps.
The great stone book of Nature re-
veals many strange records of the
past. In the red sandstone there are
found marks which are clearly the i'm
pressions OF showers OF rain, and
these so perfect that II can even be
detected In which direction the show
er inclined and this. ages ago Even
so sin leaves its track behind Il. and
God keeps faithful record of all our
lives.

A WISE SELECTION.

In view of the fact that Judge
Springer, as congressman, was au-
thor of most of our Indian legisla-
ton, the Curtis bill excepted, has,
as u. S. district judge, resided
here and been one of us for nearly
five years and knows most of our
people, and is fully cognizant of
our affairs, his selection as resident
attorney at Washington is regarded
as most fortunate one. Many OF
the efforts of our Washington at
torneys of the past have been rem
dered Intellectual by reason OF the
fact that the eover-zealous delegates
have exceeded the bounds of truth
in their representations to them.
Any memorial or any statement
which is subject to question as to
facts set forth, generally works in
jury and not good. Judge Spring
er's forts will not be liable to
failure from this cause, for he
Knows fully the conditions which
exist and has likewise full knowl-
edge of the law.

Two mothers of large families were
discussing domestic matters one day,
and the younger of the two spoke with
a sigh of the way in which her table

AN UNEXPECTED SUMMONS.
Alexander rlarrs Expires Without a
Moments Warning.

Alexander Mars, father Of the
editor Of this paper. died very
suddenly this morning, at his
home in the northeast part Of this
city. For some days previous he
had been ailing but last night was
so much better that he told his
little grand son it was unnecessary
for him to stay with them, as be
had been doing for some nights.
About II O'Clock he had a rather
bad spell, but no one was sent for,
and at O'Clock, while sitting on
the edge of the bed, he expired
without moments admonition.
For some five years past, during
his resi- dence here, Mr.. Mars had
had q spell Of fever during each
winter, and complained of trouble
in his chest, and 1T is inferred that
the cause of his death was heart
failure. Mr.. Marrs was II years
of age and his wife is one year
younger. He was born in st.
Francis county, Arkansas, and
came with the Cherokees to
Dwight mission, where he attend
ed school when the Rev. Mr..
Washbourne was a teacher and |
preacher, Mrs. Gunter, I.B. Hitch
cock and others also being pupils.
From this nation he went to
Washington county, Arkansas,
which was his home until he came
to Vinita five years ago. During
the war the deceased was con-
federate soldier, serving in Gen.
Price's army. The funeral servi-
ces will be conducted at the late
residence tomorrow afternoon at 2
o'clock.

PLAGUE DIAGNOSES.

Everything that goes under the name
of the bubonic plague may not be the
real thing. DIR. McGrew, Honolulu's
veteran practitioner. attended one Of
the so-called bubonic cases and was
with the patient until half an hour be-
fore he died. He saw no signs of the
plague. In his opinion the man died
of something very much less sensa-
tional.
The point we make Is emphasized by
the experience of San Francisco with
the Board of Health bacteriologist n
few weeks ago when the Nippon Maru
arrived in that port under medical sus-
picion. Two Japanese sailors, anxious
to escape the quarantine in which the
ship was placed, jumped overheard. in
tending to swim ashore. They were
drowned and their bodies cast upon the
beach. The Board of Health took the
remains for examination and its bacte-
biologist. DR.. Barbat, staked his pro-
fessional reputation on a plague dag
nosis. His cultures We're surely bu-
bonic. Then the Federal Health officer
took a hand and, after examining the
work OF DR.. Barbat and the bodies OF
the dead was able to prove that the
sailors. mp to the time they entered the
bay, had nothing the matter with them
bnt pneumonia. r'.N - ... ..'
BY common consent the bacilli of
the plague are difficult to distinguish
from certain other germs and many
good PSYCHOLOGISTS have been fooled
by the wrong indications We do not,
however, contend that there nav be
no plague here at all. The point Is
that some Of the five cases officially
reported by the Board of Health dc
not come quite up to the bubonic mark
and that there may be many others
before this scare Is over which will fall
far short of It.

has been accommodating In Chinatown
and the wonder Ia that the place has
kept such fair record OF health.
Agent Reynolds could not be every

there ought to have been several pco-

cholera and bubonic germs might not

Under the coming new dispensation
Of government we shall hope FOR a
change in Health Board conditions
which will bring the sanitary service
of Honolulu well abreast that of the
best regulated Mainland cities. Then
we shall keep the town clean-not
make 1t clean when we get scared;
then garbage will be burned. not
dumped near the highway to breed a
pestilence; then every householder
will be required either to burn kitchen
offal or deliver 1t to scavengers. In
that good time there will be no place
within the inhabited radius where the
"odorless excavators' can discharge
their odoriferous cargoes, nor will ORR
entails be permitted to import and sell
the decaying stun they call food. A
tenement law will provide that only
so many people may occupy so many
cubic feet of space. thus aholishing the
swarming human hives of Chinatown
where. IL disease gets foothold, IL Is
s., hard 10 dislodge II. The city will
be cut up into districts for the clean
illness Of which some paid inspector
will be held responsible. Such reforms
may cost much money but they are
vastly cheaper than epidemics, even
when the epidemic is only just severe
enough to stop trade for while and
scare away tourists.
Properly regulated Honolulu ought
to be one of the healthiest cities in the
world. especially after the sewers are
all In. Its climate is. salubrious: its
water is good TO drink; the ocean into
which the island slopes, provides the
best of drainage facilities and the med
icinal touch Of salt air; bathing is easy
and cheap; food of the best quality is
never lacking. Nature has done its
part but man has not arisen to all his
opportunities. When he does there
will he no epidemics Of filth and none
of any kind that need give concern.

the Board was made a bureau of the
Attorney Generals once with that
busy official in full charge. Surely
there Is enough. to do in the local De

over problems OF sanitation; there is
enough to care for on the part of the
guardians of the public health without
fretting over the general work Of
