An Unlueky Inspector.

One of the sanitary Inspectors, who
goes his rounds faultlessly dressed,
visited the outbuildings of natives
house the other day and while stand
ing above cesspool the floor broke
and he fell in, sinking to his waist.
When he got out he was a sight. By
the aid of a small boy with a hose he
got partially clean, and, wanting to go
home without attracting much notice,
he boarded one of the mule cars. To
his astonishment Mr.. Pains man or
dered him off. A friend on the car in
yited the inspector home, but stipula-
ted that he should climb tree or stay
just outside the gate. The unfortunate
citizen finally got to his own home,
and his suspicious movements in try
ing to get into the house unobseryed
aroused the neighbors and the dog. 1t
is not known what became of him fl
nally.

Compared With Toxic.
DR.. Wood states that even the ere
matory at Toxic is not as successful as
the one in this city, although it is con-
siderably larger, and capable of burn
ing eight bodies at once. Considering
that the order for the construction of
the Honolulu cTematory was given the
builders within three hours after the
Board of Health met at noon, Decem-
Der 18th, Minister Cooper had reason
TO feel gratified that the work was so
quickly and thoroughly performed that
1t was ready in a week after the order
was given to begin it's scientific work.
At 8 o'clock December 18th, under
Minister Youngs direction, the Homo
lulu Iron Works began the work of
casting the iron portions of the fur
mace; by 2 o'clock the next morning
these were finished; the second day the
brick work was completed and the iron
work fitted: the smokestack was elevat-
ed, and had ii not been that the struc-
ture needed a natural drying, it could
have been used on December 18th

The Unswept Trans.

a gentleman who made complete
round trips on the tramcars yesterday
to see if they were swept or busted at
the terminals reports that nothing of
the sort was done. The driver sat
while waiting and left his car to shift
for itself. Astonished to find that Mr..
Pains orders were being violated in
this way the gentleman asked the Ad-
vertiser to bring the fact to the man
ayers attention. He says further that
he does not believe that the trans have
been well swept since they resumed
their service.

OAKLAND, Cal, Jan. 25.-Rev. Jas.
c. Macinnis, pastor of the Oak Leaf
Congregational Church, today an
nounced his retirement from the min
istry. Said he:
Il believe in dancing and long list
Of other things that are tabooed by
church-goers when INDUCED in by min
listers. If a man needs a drink he has
the right to take it. When / meet a
man on the street I like to slap him
on the back and say, Hello, there,
Bill in a good hearty voice. / believe
in God and Christianity, but the
church is burdened with false ideas
and full Of sinful hypocrites, and some
OF my friends who might be called
'lushers' are Indefinitely better than
these frauds of piety.

young man who wants his personal lib
erty. He must use too much hypocrisy
and overlook too much hypocrisy in

GENERAL MERCER DEFEATED
Famous Enemy of Captain Dreyfus is
Turned Down.

PARIS, Jan. 2S.-General MERCER
received an unexpected rebuff yester-
day when the old students of the Ecole
Polytechnique, which furnish a major
ity of the artillery and engineer Off
GERS of the army, met in the school
theater to elect a president.
Amid great excitement the ballot
was taken, the result showing only 200
votes for General Mercier against 1000
for his adversary. Uproar and free
fight followed, General Mercier's parti-
sans declaring that the ballot had been
falsified. Tables and chairs were over
turned and General Boisonnet, who
presided, was hustled.
Eventually order was restored and a
recount confirmed the defeat of Mer-
cier.

AN APPEAL FOR FUNDS.
The Eye and Ear Infirmary in Need
Of Help.

The local Eye and Ear Infirmary, of
which DIR. Sloggett has charge, is run
ming low in funds. Collections have
not been good since the plague enlisted
all the energies of the town, and as the
directors are either absent from the
islands, or busy in the plague districts,
DIR. Sloggett has been forced to ask for
public donations.
The work of the hospital is burden
some, some 1900 free operations having
been performed since the infirmary
opened. An average of seven patients
now apply daily, and there will be more
of item as soon as all the Chinese and
Japanese are released from the deten-
ton camps. If enough money can be
got in hand to keep the institution GO
ing until affairs in Honolulu return to
their normal state, one of the most
worthy of our local charities will not
be suffered to decline.

Said Cox, the SMALLPOX Patient, as he Left
for GaIIipOIlS.

When DR.. Smith made his daily visit
to the Cox residence Monday morning
to see how his SMALLPOX patients were
doing, he found that one of his birds
had flown.
Bert Cox, the original patient, the
man who knowingly carried the di-
sease from Gallipolis to his relatives
in this city, not being satisfied to wait
until the doctors considered him so far
recovered from the disease that he
could not spread it, sneaked away from
his Guarantined home last evening,
crossed the river below Williamstown
and boarded the train for Gallipolis.
The guards are stationed in front of
the uuarantined house and Cox escap-
ed through the back way. No one was
expecting any one of the patients to
try to escape, and Cox's escape was a
surprise to all. AS he is he may
readily communicate the disease to all
with whom he may come in contact.
The disease does not show plainly on
his face and few would suspect him OF
having the disease He stated to- his
relatives when he left that he was 60
ing to Gallipolis to look after his
horse. The health officers here have
notified the GalliDolis authorities by
wire of CoX's escape.

Fairbanks is himself a candidate for

POLISHED ORATORS.

The most finished orator in The house
of representatives Is Cousins. of Iowa.
He has been in congress now for four
terms, and in the eight years of his
congressional career he has made two
speeches. Yet so fine were they that
his reputation on account of them is
national. One was half an hour in
length. 1t was a witty and eloquent
criticism of Ambassador Bayard. at the
time Bayard was making himself un-
popular by his pro-English remarks
at London dinners The other was less
than five minutes long, and was spoken
after the destruction of the Maine.
Cousins sat silent in his place for one
full term before he ever opened his
mouth. 1t is more than two years now
since he last spoke. When he takes
the floor again he will have an atten-
tive audience.
THE most effective orator in the
house up to the time he was trans
ferred to the senate little while ago
was Dolliver, of Iowa. Littlefeld, of
Maine, Lands of Indiana. and Bailey,
Of Texas. are three who have the ora
torical gift.
In order to gain a conspicuous posi-
tion either in the house or in the sem
ate, man must generally be a good
talker But it does not always follow
that the silent men are without infu-
ence.

Common sense is corroborated by
science when the declaration is made
that short skirts are more healthful
than long ones. Experience has
taught a great many women that they
are more comfortable and cleaner. and
are also more becoming, However,
the authorities of Connecticut and
Texas are so foolish as to waste time
in trying to induce women to cling to
the long skirt-or rather to have the
skirt cling to the woman. No woman
will do that unless its fashion. and
then nothing could prevent every
woman in the land from doing it.
