The attempts of some Of the rail-
roads to induce large colonies OF Beers
to settle in America should be encour-
aged by State and Territorial govern
ments. Any new country is enriched
when 1t gets immigrants Of the hardy,
brave. industrious and God-fearing
character, Of which the Beers are a
conspicuous type. Some of the best
citizens of the United States, Theodore
Roosevelt among them, are descended
from the Beers of New Amsterdam.
The Anglo-Saxon and Dutch strains
are among the strongest and purest
that can be united in a single race
30 the more Beers who trek" to Am
erica the better.

As material for the next patriotic
Thanksgiving sermon, here are some
interesting data from English sources:
In an address before the Manchester
board of trade Sir Robert Gifen, the
noted London statistician, recently set
forth his reasons for believing that the
United States was now the most pow
erful of all the nations of the globe.
ut Is true" said Sir Robert, that
Russia has much larger population,
but the inferiority of the units Is so
great that the pre-eminence of the
United States Is not questioned. Rus
STA, Germany and England have all
grown, while France and Austria by
comparison have remained stationary
SO now the great world powers are
four only-the United States. Great
Britain, Russia and Germany, with
France a doubtful fifth" Also this

Bad smeEs are beginning to abound
again in the Asiatic quarter, and in out
of-the-way hooks and corners. A place
which gets the waste from a Kalihi
poi factory already smells to heaven,
and the Japanese hog ranches along
the Kalihi shore are easily perceptible

All the reasons given in favor Of a
municipality here have TO do with the
outlay Of public money. A more rapid
acquisition of Improvements" is asked
for, meaning by that, asphalt streets
and cement sidewalks. Even il it were
likely that we could get honest con-
tract work done ON the highways Of
Honolulu from a local government
headed by such men as kaulia and
Plumber Emmeluth, the fact remains
that, in tropical city, asphalt streets
and cement sidewalks are highly OBJ
jectionable from the point of view of
comfort. Last August an egg was
fried in seven minutes ON the asphalt
pavements of Washington, D. c.,
where, it is estimated, such pavements
raise the surrounding temperature
from five to eight degrees. Cement
sidewalks are also powerful radiators.
Honolulu gets summer heat enough in
the ordinary way without taking arti-
fetal means to increase it. That, of
course, makes no difference to the
people who intend, il municipality
Is set up, to form a paving ring, but
1T makes a great deal of difference in
deed to the people who have chosen
Honolulu for their permanent home.

Once a Cattle King-Now I'm

Kansas City, Mo-, May r.
Grant Gillette, once the cattle king

poverty in Chihuahua, Mexico,
supported in large measure by
the labor of his wife. 1t was COM
monty believed when Gillette fled
that he took large sum of money
with him, but if he did he has let
it get away from him.

CITY that Gillette would soon be a
millionaire again. Last winter
Mrs. Gillette had smallpox, and it
was with difficulty that she was
nursed thru the disease. An in
FAINT child died, and then Gillette
himself was accidentally poisoned.
Ii took him some weeks to recover
his strength. Under these dis
couraging circumstances the dairy
business slipped away from them,
and they found them selves with
out capital.
Only recently they adopted the
plan of making shirtwaists and
running little millinery stand ,
and by this means they are now
eking out n living. Gillette him
self is tending the little store
and selling to Mexican senoritas
the hats and waists made by his
wife. 1t is hardly eighteen
months since Gillette sent train
load of cattle from one of his
ranches to anothrr in Kansas, and
night passenger train had to wait
for Gillette'S cattle train to get out
of the way. Cattlcmen and banks
are still fighting in the courts over

did not accord to his guest the
usual courtesy of furnishing water
for foot washing, nor give him the
usual kiss of welcome, nor anoin'
his head with oil in accordance

ANNOYED BY A LAUNDRY.
The Complaint of Fourteenth Street
Property Owner.

Oliver McIlhenny, of 2122 Connecticut
Avenue, has entered complaint with the
Commissioners relative to the noise of
laundry at 1917 Fourteenth Street north
west, next door to property owned by him.
In his letter Mr.. McIlhenny says that he
owns the property at 1915 Fourteenth
Street northwest, consisting OF two flats
and store. Continuing, he says:
Next door is a laundry operated by
steam. After long vacancy | succeeded
In renting the flats at a reduced rate.
Now my tenants are complaining of the
noise of the machinery, describing it as
a rumbling noise like an earthquake-a
trembling shake which rattles the dishes
and furniture, and has shaken down some
OF the plastering. 1t seems TO me that
washing machines could be run with less
noise than this laundry makes. The water
from the laundry seeps through my Gel
lar and keeps the floor wet all the time,
and fear this may cause sickness.
The smoke and black dust blows in at
the windows and soils everything so much
that the tenants cannot raise the windows
neither can they hang clothes outside 10
dry. If there is any remedy for the abate-
ment of the noise and the SCOT / shall
be obliged"
The complaint having been referred to
the Building Inspector, W. c. Brady, that
official reports to the Commissioners that
examination Of the premises has been made
under his direction, and he states that
there is Just cause for the complaint as
to the noise caused by the machinery in
the laundry. 1t is located, he thinks, in
accordance with the building regulations,
and, in consequence. his Office can take
no action to relieve the cause of the COM
plant
Unless there is some regulation OF the
Health Department" Mr.. Brady adds, "by
which this noise could be classified as a
nuisance, l know of no way in which IL
can be abated. The proprietor of the laun-
dry stated that he had ordered changes
to be made IN tbs sS....SSI, WHICH yill enable
him to use hard coal. tsTss eliminating. to
great extent the smoke and black dust"
The Engineer Commissioner has ap-
proved the report of the Inspector of
Buildings and forwarded the case to his
associates for their action.
