AUsT1N's HAWAIIAN WEEKLY.

1t is moot question whether the gaye-
ty of the vaudeville or the preaching of the
clergy or both should be inhibited during the
plague spell. Both elements tend to the
comfort Of the mind and turn thoughts away
from the fear of the plague.
Nearly $4,000, 900 worth of merchandise,
household effects and buildings have gone up
in smoke since the plague appeared. The
adjustment of losses will be a great UNDER
taking and will tax the labor and patience of
many clerks for two or three years to come.
Honolulu presents precedent for courts OF
equity.
The eating places and hotels are crowded
to their utmost capacity. If there is any Or
ganization of charitably disposed ladies or
gentlemen who want to help the poor, they
can do no better than provide commodious
dining room with eatables for the poor fellows
who now have to wait for chance to grab
vacant chair at the restaurant table.
A great deal has been said about an in
spector who procured divers articles of ap-
parel in an irregular manner in one of the
infected districts. If the young man was
without pants, it was commendable in him
in desiring them; and it hardly seems proper
in these troublous times for so many leading
citizens to engage in an acrimonious discus
sion over such small affair.
Kohala gentleman reports sea serpent
having been seen near the shore Of his place
about week ago. He gets his information
from Japanese laborer, who, unused to the
style of telling sensational stories, fails to say
that the eyes of the creature we're as big as
saucers, and its mouth appeared like the OPEN
ing of a band box Neither does the Japa-
nese observer of this marine wonder say that
he himself was just getting over saki bran.
nigan. The fact that the serpent was "go-
ing Hilowards" when last seen will allay the
fears of Waikiki bathers.
One of the most devoted students of phio-
logy in the Hawaiian Islands, respecting
dialects of the natives Of the Pacific, is Rev.
Hiram Bingham, who has collaborated with
his missionary labor the translation of the
Gilbert Island tongue into English. He
alone enabled the inhabitants of those islands
to talk and read English. He gave them
their bible. Shortly after going among them
he selected the most intelligent appearing
man in the tribe and engaged him in a con.
versation after the fashion of the deaf and
dumb. Sitting beside the native on log,
he pointed to objects and expressed an in
quiry by his countenance. The native would
utter word, and this, Mr.. Bingham under
stood to be the name of the subject. He
wrote phonetic note of the mans utterance
and thus secured an English photography of
} tree, bird, or whatever object to which
he natives attention was directed. From

An advertisement in a live local
paper always pays good interest on
the money invested. Most merchants
expect to get q return Of several
hundred dollars from a twenty-fv,,
dollar ad and feel disappointed when
this extravagant expectation is not
fulfilled. Money judiciously spent for
advertising will bring in larger re-
turns than when invested in other
ways, but the newspapers Of the
country cannot perform impossible
ties. They can. however, and do give
good results to all those who make a
liberal use Of printers ink in recon-
mending their wares to the public. In
every community the most success
full merchants are those who make
use Of the columns Of the local papers.

two weeks ago, work was resumed
on the shops, roundbouse and Office
buildings at this place for the Canon
City & Cripple Creek railroad, that is.
the excavating and grading is under

full charge OF the work and for q

man fully qualified to serve as fore
man over the carpenter work depart
ment. For this position he wisely
selected Mr.. Adam Dryden of this
city, and it is fair TO state this selec-
ton comes through former business
dealings and acquaintance. Mr.. Dry
den is eminently fitted for the i'm
portant position to which he has bsen
appointed and will discharge every
obligation with fidelity. He is a
master workman himself and has the
bnppy faculty of getting along with
workmen under his charge without

Gaze City Camp No. 18, W. of w.,
celebrated the piano victory on Fri
day night of last week. The gather
ing was held in the A. o. U. W. hall
and it was expected that it would
be sufficiently large to accommodate
those who should accept the invita-
tions. Florence had been invited to
come in body and help slong the
jollifcation. They, the Florence
Woodcraft, did not all come but a
large delegation did and they helped
the fun along just as Florentines al
ways do.
The committee having the matter
in charge. spared no efforts in the
preparation of program for the
physical as well as the mental we'll
fare of the guests and the unbounded
success of the affair is testimony of
the excellence of the committees
work. OF course the prime feature
was that Of interesting outsiders in
the order. not alone its pleasant So
cial features. but the fraternal side
and to do the latter more effectually
Head Consul F. A. Falkenburg was
invited to be present. He was here
and made short but powerful talk
on the fraternal side of Woodcraft,
which carried conviction with it and
as result the Camp will be compel
led to log rolf several new candi-
dates within a short time. The hall
was packed to its utmost limit and
many were compelled to 60 away un-
able to gain admission. Following
the literary exercises "a lap supper
was served. Taken as a whole the
affair was one of the pleasantest
given in Canon City for many years.
The program was as follows:

STAMP TAXES MUST 90.
Plans Adopted for Reduction Of War
Revenue.

All proprietary stamp taxes and
many fthe documentary stamp taxes
will be repealed by the bill which the
Republican members of the house
committee on ways and means are
engaged in framing.
1t has been learned that it is not
the present intention to make any
reductions in the taxes on spirits.
fermented liquors or tobacco. The
entire reduction will amount to about
$50. 100000. Taxes that it has been
fully determined to repeal are tn ose
in schedule B of the war revenue act.
embracing the proprietary taxes.
amounting to about Sc, 900, 600; taxes
on kilograms and express receipts,
amounting to about 81, ,000, 600; leg

cational and charitable institutions,
roughly estimated at $500, 600 and
taxes on mortgages. promissory notes.
checks and drafts. insurance policies
and premiums. warehouse receipts.
certificates Of various kinds. deeds
and practically all Of the other docu-
mentary stamp taxes except those or
stock exchange transactions.
The cut in the documentary tax
schedule will foot up about S. SOC. .00O
more. leaving about $4,5O0. 900 to be
cut of TO bring the total up TO $780,.

will be accomplished by the repeal OF

stripped them and hacked them tc
pieces. Their severed limbs were
tossed to the crowd and carried of
with howls of triumph. Some were
already dead, having been shot by
foreign civilians.
''Ae says he saw Chinese soldier;
carrying the bodies Of white children
aloft on their spears while their com
panions shot at their bodies. He give
other details too horrible to be partic
