RoCKEFELLERf WEDDING GIET.
Father Viii Give Son Magnificent
Estate

TARRYTOWN, N. Y, Aug. &.-Follow-
of John D. Rockefeller, pr.. to Miss Abb
by Aldrich, daughter of Senator and Mrs.
Nelson W. Aldrich, of Rhode, Island.
there is much speculation as to what
John D. Rockefeller will give the young
couple as a wedding gift. Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter owns nearly 1000 acres of the best
land In the town of Mount Pleasant, and
he is STILL adding to his estate. 1t has
always been said that Mr. Rockefeller
was not buying the land for himself but
for his son. Often the report has gone
forth that he intended to build one of
the finest mansions in the country and
present 1t to his son when He was mar
ried. Mr.. Rockefeller has just completed
magnificent stable of granite, and this
1t is believed is to be only the begin
ming of large plan of building opera
lions.
Among Mr.. Rockefeller's recent pur-
chases is the land in the Buttermilk Hill
region. This is the highest point in Win
chester country. To connect this with
his property he has built an iron bridge
across the Putnam railroad tracks. The
site would be admirable for great coun-
try mansion. When Mr. Rockefeller first
came to Tarrytown he intended building
a mansion for himself, but he had SO
much trouble with the assessors that he
abandoned the idea.

!. THE HOUR FOR MURPHY.

The value of Francis Murphy'S SER
vices to humanity cannot be calculated
by any man, least Of all by himself.
There was time and a long time too
when his name had first place in every
American newspaper and when the eff
fects Of his personal labor and of that
of his lieutenants were seen and felt
in every American State and in Austria
lila and the United Kingdom as well.
In the United States the Murphy move
ment of 1S77-7S-79 secured over eleven
million edge-signers, at least one
fifth of whom represented men who
had been in the slavery of drink. OF
these enough stood fast to their pledges
in every community the work had
reached, to become centers of helpful
influence. Even such leaders of pro-
hibition as Mr.. Woolley were induced
by Francis Murphy to abandon drink
and get others to do SO; and today,
of the active agencies at work against
the saloon, not few owe their start
to the Murphy movement. Although
nearly q quarter of a century has pass
ed since the movement was at its
height, the spirit of the Murphy pledge
lis to be found everywhere in the An
glo-Saxon world and Francis Murphy,
venerable as he is, still talks to acclaim
| ing thousands.
To any one who saw, as did the
writer. the Murphy movement in 1877
| IS and was in the thick OF 1t, there
can be no doubt of the privilege these
Islands have in getting Francis Muir
ply to work for gospel temperance
| here. That is enough of itself to war
rant the churches and all good citizens
| In coming forward and bearing the cost
| of an Hawaiian crusade. But another
reason exists. BY no fault OF his own
Mr. Murphy finds himself in the thick
of a deplorable scandal brought on by
the bad management, while he was far
away from these islands, OF an Assoc
| citation which took his name. No man
feels more deeply on this subject than
does the great apostle of Gospel temper
ance. Convinced as he is of the jus
tice of the criticisms Gshich a portion
of the press, in the performance OF
public duty, has directed against Frank
lin Austin, he sees the need of an i'm
mediate readjustment of the Murphy
work in Honolulu. To this work he
proposes to lend his aid but he needs
the aid of others. He realizes the dis
gust which the Austin scandal has in
spired among active and reputable tenn
perance workers; he notes the dampen-
ing effect of it all upon the public; but
he also feels it to be his duty to save
the situation if he can. If there are
other men as there surely must be who
think the situation is worth saving, now
is the time for them to hold UP Francis
Murphys hands. To do that 1t is not
necessary or wise to be uncharitable to
Franklin Austin or to attempt to drive
him away from his pledge. But it is
patent to every one whose opinion is
worth anything that he cannot lead any
longer in the Murphy movement with
out bringing it to deeper quicksands
and a blacker mire. The man for the
hour is Francis Murphy himself.
Where he goes any good man may fol-
low without loss of his reputation and
with new chances to do good opening
all the way.

BASIS OF INDICATION.

We quite sympathize with the desire
of Mr.. Austin TO get 'vindicatlon
and should be glad, for the sake OF the
temperance cause, to see MIN attain
the Nirvana that he seeks. But we
warn the gentlemen that the goal can
not be reached. by devious paths. A
"yindication' means that the money
raised for temperance work in these
islands in the name and under the
auspices of the Francis Murphy move
ment, and entrusted to Mr.. Austin, IS
to be accounted for dollar by dollar
SO much for this and so much Tor that.
Published statements have dealt IN
lump sums and have involved forced
balances. But now, If vindication Is
to be had. there must be itemiZed &C
counts.
Other methods are quite beside the
mark. To fill Murphy Hall with old
cronies and get them, through the
methods of primary, to pass a vote
OF. confidence is merely to earn the sneer
of discerning men. The only vote OF
confidence worth while is one from ex-
perts who have looked into the accounts
and found them complete and correct
Nor would the assurance of a donor
that the money supplied to Mr.. Austin
was for his own use and not for the
clubs, be convincing; for when Mr..
Austin rendered a financial account to
the Association of this money, imper-
feet as that account may have been,
he acknowledged himself as trustee
and admitted the right of the Asso-
citation to ask for an accounting.
So we come back to the original basis
of a dollar for dollar exhibit. If that
exhibit can be made the Advertiser.
for one, will. print it cheerfully and
prominently. But so far it has been
,eyaded. Statements that did not state
and exhibits that did not exhibit have,
unfortunately, been the rule.

EDUCATION IN POLITICS.

Activity among the, political leaders
may mean that there will be some
thing done in the way Of organization
for the political campaign of next year.
and if this is the result 1t will be well
coined by all good members of the Re-
publican party, who think there should
be men, in touch politically with the
dominant party, at the Nations capital.
There have been in the last decade
many plans for the use of the original
Republican idea Of campaign of edu-
cation Since the various state and
territorial committees have been work
ing In harmony with the national BODY
in the matter of the distribution of the
party reading matter it would not be
safe to guess the number of tons OF
speeches and special articles which
have been sent broadcast under the
frank of member of Congress. There
have been many abuses of the courtesy
of the two Houses of Congress, but none
has been so great as the free distribu-
ton of addresses which were meant to
serve as political thunder. Once a
prominent single tax leader had printed,
as part of his remarks, Henry Georges
land theories. At another time sena-
tor incorporated in his speech the pro-
lection planks of the various platforms
| of his party for a generation Another
one inserted the constitution of the
!. United States. :
| There would be no lack of mat
ter of this character which could be put
into the hands of the voters of. the party
| here and without doubt the perusal
| of the addresses of leaders in the Con-
gress would be edifying in the extreme.
Whether or not there would be CONVEX
sions in any direct ratio is another mat
! ter but 1t is just as true that there
would be a higher estimate of the great
ness of the nation and it's debaters.
| AS to the plans which have been set
forth by one of the members of the ex-
ecutive committee, they cannot fail of
approval, in that anything which will
lead to the arousing of the mass of the
voters, so that there will be no chance
for the demagogue to lead them astray,
/ is to be welcomed. Once let the men
| of the Territory see what the truly
great men of the nation hold as their
/ tenets of political faith, and they will
be able upon the hearing, to distinguish
/ the true from the false, the man whose
aim Is the welfare of the whole people,
| from him whose only intention is to
secure something for himself without
any regard for the people from whom
he hopes to receive his trust. There is
much to be said in favor of campaign
of education and nothing against it.

TO ROB
LETTER BOXES
Curious Tweezers Discovered in
a King Street Box
Yesterday.

The construction of the new letter
of the local crooks.
Yesterday q curious instrument Of
abstraction was found in the pillar box
at the corner of Kawaiahao Lane and
King street. 1t was simply a section
of the rib of an umbrella to which a
piece of another rib was attached by
means of sort of hinge, so that by
grasping the two ribs at the hinge and
pressing them into a parallel position
an instrument was formed akin to a
pair of long tweezers.
The idea of the inventor undoubtedly
was to pilfer the mail boxes. With this
tool he had evidently probed among
the letters with unknown success until
he got scare and decamped, leaving
his engine of depreciation sticking in
the box.
The tweeZers were taken to Postmas-
ter Dat yesterday, who was much in
terested In their discovery. He at
tributes their invention to some enter
prising Portuguese.
He said that owing to the peculiar
construction Of the boxes he did not
think that it was possible to abstract
letter. The intention, however, was
very clearly manifested.
The instrument is now in the posses
sion of the postmaster, who is deter
mined to investigate the matter thor
oughly.

ciatiou at the time of their death.

pleased to call Christian. when, without
a moments 5 warning or the slightest prov
ocation, our beloved Christian President,
William Mckinley. was stricken down
and our nation plunged in mourning, 1t is
evident we have a work to do. Sisters, let
us enter into it with renewed energy, that
our influence shall be felt by the heather
at our own doors as well as by those in
foreign lands; and be II
