This is an age of skeptics. The trad
ing public do not accept as truth a mer-
chants statement that he carries the
most complete and latest stock, besides
selling at the lowest prices. 1t neces-
states a visit to the store to establish
this confidence between the trader and
the merchant. Here is where much of
the success of ]. l.. Murray the hard
ware merchant of Caldwell, has been
gained Whatever he sells he guar
antees, and past experience has proven
to his patrons that his goods are the
latest and his prices away down.
The business is located on the east
side Of Main street in premises measur-
ing % by 14O feet. These are stocked
with complete line of Shelf and heavy
hardware, stoves. tinware, farmers

stock Of stoves We find such reliable
makes as the Garland" and Great

WATERS AS FACTORS
OF DISEASE.

At the instance of the Lucknow
Cantonment medical authorities, two
aerated water factories have been
closed, the water having been pro-
nounced unfit for use. 1t is to be
hoped that the decision will induce
the medical authorities in India to
overhaul the aerated water factories
under their jurisdiction at other sta
tions, particularly where enteric
fever is prevalent. The popularity of
Apollinaris Natural Mineral Water
seems to have no limits. 1t is obtain

THAT FEE SYSTEM AGAIN
SCHOOL COMMITTEE SECURES
FURTHER OPINION.
Prof. Scott and Rev. Alex. Macintosh
Express Niews-Townsend Reports
Educational Qualification.

At the meeting yesterday afternoon
of the committee on select schools the
following were present. Minister
Mott-Smith, Prof. Alexander. j. Q.
Wood, II. 5. Townsend, Prof NJ. M.
Scott. j. Lghtfoot and DR.. c. r. Rodg-
ers. The meeting. which was held in
the foreign office, lasted nearly two
hours.
Mr.. Townsend read report on
school attendance, prepared by him
self and DR. Rodgers. 1t was taken
from statistics and presented no opin-
ions nor suggestions. The report
stated that fully a half of pupils drop
ped out before passing the fourth
grade. This was partly by inclina-
ton and partly for the reason that
they were required to work. The fee
charged in the select schools doubtless
caused the falling away of others.
Prof Scott renewed his talk on the
high school. lie was i'm favor of abol-
ishing the fee and having an educa-
tional qualification. The proposition
that the knowledge of English should
form the basis of test was emphasized.
In no other way could the standard of
the school be insured There were now
twenty-three scholarships in the high
ScnOOl. II mad been said that the
high school was not filling its pro-
vince of being the goal of pupils of
other schools of the city This is true
and not true. 1t is not true because
the reason more pupils do not rise to
the high school is not that schools
fault. There are either reasons in
the lower schools why pupils are not
fitted for the examinations. or else the
pupil himself drops out. The remain
der of Mr.. Scott's remarks dealt with
details.
Rev, Alex. Macintosh spoke of the
mixing of races in the schools. His
observations were that the plan had
it's drawbacks as well as its disadvan-
tages. The remainder of his talk was
devoted to personal observations as
principal of the Royal .scnool.
There will be other meetings of the
committee Considerable data is yet
to come. 1t is now certain that the
report cannot be ready before week
from today. AS yet no opinion in full
sympathy with the fee system has
been presented.

dredging of the Hawaiian government
on the west side of the harbor is in
dependent and will not be interfered
with by me under any instructions
that / have now have.
sit was intended by the navy depart
ment to send captain here to super
intend operations. Why this was
changed and | appointed L am not in
position to say, unless it be the search
ty of naval captains on account of the
increased number of vessels now in
service. 1t is almost certain that a
high officer of the navy will eventually
be appointed to look after the business
of the department at this port"
Contractors Cowley and Campbell,
who will superintend the work of
dredging the harbor and the berths at
the foot of Richards street, are all
ready for business and are simply
awaiting the arrival of their machin-
cry from the east. 1t is expected that
the big dredger and pontoons will
reach here by the last of next week

Lumber and other material has al
ready been piled at the United States
reserve. The contractors have been
busted for several days making de-
tailed soundings and are now familiar
with what they will have to do. Their
hardest work, they think, will come
in the channel at the bar and near the
shore where the berths are to be sunk.
Most of this dredging will have to be
done through hard coral rock. There
will be great lot of blasting and the
services of the clam shell dredger will
have to be constantly employed.
In conversation, Mr.. Haywood re-
quested that all charitably disposed
people, who look after the interests of
laborers, will not send anyone to him
for work on harbor improvements, as
he has not the employment of any
men whatever. That whole business
is in the hands of the contractors.
