1t is proper enough that people who
connect their homes with the sewers
should pay for the privilege That is
the custom in many cities and it is one
that has common fairness to back It,
That the cost is more of a burden upon
the householder than n general sewer
tax would be is probably true. but the
circumstance does not count in favor
OF municipal government as against
the present system of local rule If a
municipality had sewer like that of
Honolulu to build. it would probably
make the thing cost twice as much and
involve the matter of house service in
the Vaccinations of an official plumb
ing ring. The cost of avoiding that
state of things is cheap when COM
pared with the cost OF carrying on the
government we might have.

California and Oregon have got ovel

california and Oregon have got ovet
their Belgian hare craze. Fortunately
Hawaii, warned In time by the Adver.
User. did not succumb to II. Touching
the results in California the San Diego
sun SAYS: Already many breeders are
preparing to turn their rabbits loose
on the country. as they cannot sell
them at any price, and the fear nas
become general that IL this Is done the
country Will be literally overrun within
i've years. Supervisor Griffin reported
mat one woman near Encinitas has
1000 which she intends to liberate and
several other examples were given 1t
appears that the favorite food of the
Belgian hare is the tender bark Of
young fruit trees. and IL the hares are
not exterminated the young fruit trees
VIII be. The supervisors, therefore.
passed an ordinance compelling all
owners of Belgian hares to keep the
animals strictly confined. fixing the
penalty for turning them loose at no.
not less than $40 nor more than 500 -
Some effort Is being made to get the
hare an entree in the East but the VEN
ture does not promise to succeed.

Territorial taxes would not go by the
board in case a municipality were or
ganized-far from it. The Legisla ture
would continue to appropriate and the
people would be compelled to foot the
bills with county and city expenses as
an extra charge. If Honolulu were
subjected to such burden it's advan-
tages as a place to settle in for resi-
dence or business could not fail to be
Iessened. Nothing does more to turn
home-seekers away than high taxes
and their natural sequence of high
rents.

In tho Widows hands.

The DAILY fortune is to go to the wild
ow, to be held by her in trust for the
four children, Margaret Mary, Harriet
and Marcus, Jr. Just what the fortune
amounts to has not been figured, but
those familiar with his affairs estimate
1t to be not less than SAC, 200, 600 The es-
tate has increased enormously during
the past two years. In addition, the
copper king made large sums in specu-
lation. He was unusually successful
in the street" On one recent deal
alone he is said to have netted 1000.

The mouldy chestnut about Hilo pay
ing for Honolulu improvements has
again been shaken down. AS a matter
OF fact Hilo has always had as much
from the taxpayers of Honolulu as she
has given in return. Left to her own
devices she would be the most unhappy
burg i'm the group. for it would take all
the taxes she now pays to foot the bills
of city and county administration. Ieav-
ing nothing for public buildings and

Brahmin Pray ers for Muller.

During the illness of Professor Man
Muller at the end of last year public
prayers were offered in a Hindu tenn
pie at Madras for his recovery, a as
tinction never before given to a Euro
pean. Similar services were also per-
formed in other towns in India, includ-
ing Benares, the center of BrahmaniC
learning and Brahmanic orthodoxy
When the news of his recent serious
illness arrived all the priests and pun
dts of Benares assembled together and
agreed to offer prayers in their sacred
temple for his recovery

The fears of the Swedes are being ex-
cited by the presence of presumed Rus
sian spies who travel about their coun-
try in the guise Of saw-filers. The
Swedes look upon Russia as their nat
Gral enemy. as indeed it is. Nothing
would suit the Gar better than to own
the ice-free port of Hammerfest in Nor
way and to divide control with none
but Denmark the narrow passage
which conects the Baltic with the North
Sea. II is believed that the Cars
8 hand Is in the trouble between Norway
and Sweden and that. under certain
contingencies. he would support the
Norwegians in an effort to withdraw
from the union. Hence the excitement
which the presence of even Russian
tinkers creates.

The late BOs'n Ben. aged 81. claimed
to be full brother of James Gordon
Bennett. father of the present owner
of the New York Herald. and local
paper assures its readers that he may
have told the truth. The biographical
evidence. however, goes against the
claim. as James Gordon Bennett, Sr.,
was born In 1895. The date of Bos'n n
Ben's birth was 1899. a difference be-
tween the two dates of "A years. 1t is

One Of the jokes at the Lotus Cub

by Senator Depew, who told story
about rural friend of his who once

Coal Mined With Electricity.

Electric coal cutting machinery is
rapidly displacing hand work and other
varieties of mechanical mining apph-
ances in the collieries of Great Britain
and the United States. The coal thus
mined is cleaner, the waste less and the
effect of the machine on the ventilation
and temperature of the mine is less
than with any other mechanism.

IL Is astonishing how we'll the late
army scout, Bennett. carried on a
, double life in the small precinct of Wal
kiki. To his commanding officer and
his soldier comrades at Camp McKin-
ley the scout was a model of the tenn
perate virtues; but at roa1 house,
talf mile away. he was a very roy
sterer OF the gay old times in France
when the bubbles of life danced along
on a stream of champagne. The testi-
mony at the coroner's inquest about the

be read with astonishment at Camp
Mckinley. especially by those who
thought they had known the man best.

They Ate the Ruttons.

Grandma could not believe her oyes,
She had herself sewed buttons on Mar

now here they were, come to have their
little waists and petticoats buttoned.

In the best way. In all records OF the
habits of this fish we are told that 1t
can, and does. bite out large chunks
OF flesh from the dead bodies Of
whales. and even from living victims
OF Its attack: and 1t Is easily seen that
II Its mouth was like those Of other
fishes the necessary leverage would be
lacking. A further reason seems to
be that the shark by this peculiar po-
sition OF Its mouth Is compelled to
turn upon its back to strike, and Is
thus able to deliver Its onset from be-
low with more deadly effect. This for
midable strength OF jaw Is backed up
by most terrible array of teeth. OF
which In some species there are as
many as six rooms all round. Each
tooth Is sawedged and pointed, and
some OF the largest are as much as
two inches In breadth at their base.
These lie fiat against the Jaws. and
can be raised by separate muscles at

Its prey, they spring on end. as q
cats claws are stuck out from Its paws
This arrangement will not allow any
thing once bolted to return, SO that q
sharks mouth Is q veritable DEATH
trap.
