MODERN JoURNALIsM.

Self advertising seems to be the
main object of the daily newspapers
of today. Our leading dailies here
are not behind their contemporaries
on the Mainland, and instead of
writing on the merits of matters of
public interest they devote Their
space to accusing each Others of
taking uninteresting cablegrams and
discussing whose Washington cor
respondent is the best informed in
regard to official matters.

A short while ago we urged the
authorities to 60 something with
the bridge on Kuikui street leading
over the Pauoa stream. The bridge
is perfectly open and there is no
railing on either side. We know
the motto of the government not to
close the stable until the horse is
stolen, and for that reason we now
call the attention OF the Road SD

Many visitors to this city aud not

that it is more of an up-to-date city

population even on the Mainland.

enter first class restaurant here,
study the price list, make their
orders, relish their meal and then
dispute The price charged although
having seen it in print prior to

Alderman Rand Won Out.

They are telling down at the city
lall Of one means to an end which
Alderman Rand made use Of during
the windnp of the protracted troubles
incident to getting the paving on
Washington avenue S. completed, says
last weeks News Letter.
AS will be remembered City Engi-
neer Sublette took all summer to the
Job and during most of that time the
merchants between Twelfth avenue s.
and Cedar suffered much damage from
the blockade of the street. When it
seemed as if the time was really to
arrive when the work would actually
be finished, Alderman Rand with a
'hasten-the-day" idea in his head en-
countered Street Engineer Fox on the
street and said:
''Mr. Fox, you know that because of
the torn-up condition of the street sew
eral of our undertakers have been I'M
able to hold funerals from their places
of business. Now Mike Gill wants to
hold a funeral next Tuesday and he
asked me to get you to finish the paw.
ing by that time. Now will you?"
Sure said Mr. Fox and went his
way.

One week after the paving was still
unfinished and the street still impass-
able. Again Messrs. Rand and Fox
met.
"Good morning, Mr. Fox" said the
alderman. "Nly friend Mike Gill wants
to hold a funeral from his place next
Tuesday, and he can't do it unless you
finished the paving by that time. He
asked me to get you to do it. Now
will you?"
"Sure," said Mr.. Fox, and again
went his way.
Another week passed, the street was
still impossible, and the street fore
man and Alderman Rand again met.
The same conversation was again held
until it came Mr.. Fox's time to answer.
What he said this time was:
"Sure I'll finish it, just to see that
Tuesday funeral 60 through"
And this is the true secret of why
and how the paving on Washington
avenue S. was completed.

AN IMPORTANT TELEGRAM.
1t Brought a Carriage TO the Depot
in Minneapolis to Meet a Man.

A gentleman from one of the larger
towns of Minnesota wired to the Muir
ray Cure institute in Minneapolis, say
ing:
"J- b will arrive Minneapolis
for treatment; meet him ut Milwau-
kee depot about 6 p. m. with carriage"
A carriage from the institute was in
waiting when the train came in and
the patient was taken to the institute
for treatment. He hardly realized
what was happening to him, because
Of the liquor he had taken, but he was
the happiest man in town in few
days when he understood where he
was and how the Murray cure was
benefiting him.
| j b is known on the books of
the hurry Cure institute as mo.
23O7." No one need know who he is
OF where he came from. The treat
ment is administered only in the insti-
tute, and all facts are strictly in conf
dence. He was completely cured and
restored to heart-broEen young wife
and mother cured and sober man.
Some people do not know what the
Murray cure is. 1t is the only cure
which cures the drink habit without
danger of injury to the system by the
use of so-called "gold cure" drugs.
The Murray treatment is sure cure
for any man or woman that really
wants to be cured 1t will take the
craving for liquor away from any per-
son, regardless of his wish, and it
cures in so many cases that it is gener-
ally recognized as the surest and best
treatment for the drink habit extant.
Persons Interested are invited to
send for a booklet descriptive of the
treatment and containing other i'm
portant facts. Write or call Murray
