The prospect of THE Phillips Hawaii
an Plumbing and Supply Company
Limited" has been issued, and the stock
is being taken up. Nearly three fourths
has already been spoken for. A charter
will be secured in a few days The
capital will be $50 900, divided into $500
shares of $40 each.
The company will occupy two of the
stores and the basement of the new
Magoon building at the corner of Mer-
chant and Alakea streets. In this place
there will be a great deal of room for
supplies and ample basement for the
workshop.

quite entertaining. 1t points out that
there will be 1920 houses to be con-
nected with the sewerage system at
a cost of 1920, 000 which is a profit of
thirty per cent, and dividends of sixty
per cent on investment. The practical
plumbers estimate, however, IL that the
big job will cost $780, which Will
mean a profit of $4,000, or $50 per cent.
Beside this revenue, attention Is
drawn to the amount of repair work
and sales in the supply department that
will bring up the profits. The promo
ters count on not less than 20 to 100 per
cent.
1t is announced that the Phillips bust
ness and good will was bought for S1O,-
900, and that there is no promoters
stock, giving $4,000 working capital

the subscription. Other assessments of
not less than ten per cent month will
be called at the discretion of the di-
rectOrs.

SANITARY KAHULUI.
Several Rats Found and Killed Inside
the Plague Fence.

PAIA, April 2S.-The work of maxi
ing Kahului clean and free from plague
goes merrily on. Floors are being torn
out of the stores, warehouses and other
buildings, and the whole premises
treated to a strong solution of disinfect-
ants. Several rats killed this week in
side the plague fence, were examined
by DR.. McConkey at Paia, but no evil
dences of plague were found. While
this, of course does not establish the
fact that there is no more plague there,
it is at least a very hopeful sign. Vigil
lance, however, is not yet relaxed, and
the place is still treated as though
there was plague there. 1t is hoped
however, that the pestilence has entire
ly died out, and that matters may be-
fore long resume their normal state
in all respects.

"The Smart Set."

Ii 1.-The Smart Set," for July does
not interest summer readers they may
as we'll give over the task of finding
anything that will. Its pages are full
of the atmosphere of mountains and
sea, and are written with all the art
and fascination known to the cleverest
of living writers. The novelette, of the
number, "When Reginald Was Caro-
line," by Edward 8. Van Zile, is one of
the few really humorous long stories
ever written in this country. Mr. Van
Zile's story is full of startling situa-
tiOns, which are withal so comic that
it must prove vastly entertaining to
the reading public. The other writer's
who contribute to this book are of the
very best.

The Fertilizer Law.

The law passed by the last General
Assembly, imposing tax of 15 cents
per ton OIL all fertilizers sold in Vir.
ginia, has proven highly successful as
u revenue measure.
The law went into operation on the
first day of last January. Up to the
last of June the taxes paid on fertili-
zers amounted to $1S. S.959.1O. The total
amount sold was l26. 494 tons.
There has been little fertilizer sold
in the State since May. The selling
will be resumed in August for the fall
crops. 7. j. StrattOn, the chief of fer
tilizer inspectors, said he thought The
total revenue to the State from fertili-
zers would amount to $50 600.
Under the law the fertilizer tax is
to be expended in defraying the cost
OF maintaining the Department of Ag-
riculture, the expense of in-p. citing
fertilizers sold. aid in c.,udur. ing ex-
perimental farming. The Gust of in-
spection alone will probably mount up
to SIC, O,OO9. The ten inspectors receive
a salary of $50 per month for four or
five months in the year. Their expenses
are probably ice as Hr-at IA their
salary.

Commenting on President McKin.

OF his nomination the Chicago News
says:
while Americans generally admit
that it is the duty of this country to
re establish law and order in the Philip
pines and give to them a stable gov
crnment, it will occur to many of them
that the statement the Philippines are
ours does not breathe the broad Amer
lean sentiment and views as to pOliti.

The current issue of Leslie's Weekly
prints an excellent likeness of Mr.
George w. Stevens. president OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Compa-
ny, together with brief sketch of bis
life. it says that Mr.. Stevens has kept
pace with the march of Improvement
and Invention and that the superiority
OF the passenger and freight service of
his company and it's general equipment
ana management. stand as monuments
TO his thorouganess and executive
ability. And this is added:
"Strict integrity, with strong per
sonal magnetism. give him power of
control possessed by few men. He is
admired and esteemed by the thousands
OF employees of his road, their
strong sense of loyalty making them on
the alert to anticipate every wish and
order Of their chief. Mr.. Stevens sue
Cess should be an incentive to every
young American. Work will win the

MI. Stevens, and he felt that there
Was always room at the top"
That is a distinguished compliment |

lone much to build up this great rail

Chicago Chronicle for Bryau.

In 1896 the Chicago Chronicle gold
democratic newspaper, refused to sup.
port MI. Bryan. This year it will ad-
vOcate his election. In an editorial on
Mr.. Bryan's nomination the Chronicle
says;
1.-The campaign which is about to
open promise to be one of the most
momentOus in the history OF the Re.
public. 1t is a good omen that the
Democracy is able to enter upon the
conest with harmony and enthusiasm
and with leader whose ability. cour-
age and candor are admitted by all.
There is not much doubt that Dem
ocrats constitute majority of the
electorate to-day. To harmonize, to
inspire and to urge that majority to
the polls and make it effective in the
election of Mr.. Bryan is now the duty
of all Democrats who have contributed
to bis splendid Endorsement by the
Kansas City Convention.
with this end in view, with tolera-
tion for honest differences of opinion on |
nonessentiais, with kindly oblivion for
past quarrels and with steadfast loyal
Gy to the leader thus chosen, the re-
united Democracy should go forth to a
certain and merited triumph"

The Oldest Confe derate.

Perhaps the Oldest Confederate sol

was born in Georgia in 1871, and came
to Camden in 1872, when it was the
wild woods of the territory in which
Indians roamed in almost undisputed
possession. That " as before the name
of Alabama was ever applied to any
region of country. He says be has
buried three wives and nine children.
The only child he has now living is a
son about so. This son was born when
the father was already an old man with
gray hair.
Mr.. Garner is still alert and full of
the enthusiasm of a COnferate veteran.
He Is a slaall man, rather below medi-
um size, with perfectly white hair and
beard and complexion as fair as the
usual man OF 70. His eyes are some
what dim and be is slightly hard of
hearing. His eyebrows still have some
streaks of the original color among the
gray, although they droOp over the

Mr.. Garner is evidently the Oldest
