FOR MATERNITY HOME
ATTORNEY GENERAL DOLE ON
THE APPROPRIATION.
Thinks Warrants Should Issue, Though
Race Question May Make Appropria-
ton an Invalid one.

Attorney General DOle's opinion as
to the Kapiolani Maternity Home APP
preparation, the legality Of which was
questioned is as follows:
ITO His EXcelency Sanford b. Dole,
Governor of the Territory of Hawaii.
Sir:
Il have the honor to acknowledge
your request for my opinion whether
the existing appropriation in aid of the
Kapiolani Maternity Home is open to
such constitutional objections as make
it the duty of the Auditor to withhold
warrants in payment thereof, without
judiciary order.
The deed of the property occupied
by this noble charity contains the fol-
lowing condition.: This conveyance is
made upon the expressed condition that
the said KapiOlani Home shall use the
property so granted exclusively for the
use of native Hawaiian women, of ma
tive Hawaiian descent and that all
persons of foreign nationality shall be
received by the said grantee only for a
reasonable compensation; and if such
condition be at any time broken the
said grantOrs or either of them or their
respective heirs or assigns may at their
option become void and of no effect
anything in this instrument contained
to the contrary Notwithstanding. 1t
| Is hereby expressly unuSISlOOu liliI
| this conveyance shall not be deemed
to give the Kapiolani Home, or it's sue
cessors or assigns, the right and auth
GRITTY to lease or dispose of said prem
| ises, or lease or dispose of a portion
or strip of the said premises.
THE charter of the Maternity Home
was drawn for the especial benefit of
Hawaiian women, pursuant to the
above quoted condition in the deed.
| Il express no opinion as to whether
the fact that citizens of all races are
| taxed, largely, at least, for the benefit
of a single race, is a vital objection to
the appropriation. Amy Taxpayer who
! feels aggreved can test ii in the courts.
| Meanwhile, / think warrants should is
sue, unless the Auditor is restrained
| by injunction or wishes 10 raise the
question by mandamus
u have the honor to be, Sir with
| great respect,
Your obedient servant,
r.. r. DOLE,
Attorney General"

A GIFT HORSE.

The sultan of Morocco did not show
much judgment in the choice Of a gift
for Emperor Williams, says the New

horses Of a delicate breed. 1t was soon
found that they could not stand the
Berlin climate. One had to be shot,
while the others were given by the en-
peror to friends, with the proviso that
they must not be sold or given away

The Kennebec Me- Journal says that
when autograph hunters ask Speaker
Reed for his signature he writes it
rather hastily, and it is simply L. b.
Reed. If the pen does not mark plainly,
the speaker does not always take pains
to dip it anew, provided there IS
scrawl and all the letters are visible.
Net so when the oblong forms OF
parchment are handed to him from the
committee on enrolled bills, of which
Representative Hager Of Iowa is chair,
man. Mr.. Kinds, the clerk to the speak
er's desk. hands up the pile Of parch'
ment, and the speaker carefully looks
over each. Taking them down one by
one. he writes his name slowly and care
fully. 1t does not appear as L. b. Reed
but as Thomas 3. Reed.

A Spanish street Scene.

In nothing is the illiterate condition
of Spain shown as in the numerous
writing booths which line the streets
of Barcelona. Spain has preserved much
of the picturesque life Of past ages. and
even at the present day in many of its
towns may be seen the Waterman. with
pike and lantern, going his nightly
rounds not far from a fine street bril-
hantly illuminated by the electric light
In the Rambla. the principal street Of
Barcelona, may be seen several Of these
writing booths OF the public scribes
There for small consideration the il
literate or any one else may have any
thing indited from the poetry of a love
epistle to the prosaic application for a
situation. The front of each booth is
placarded with the name Of the scribe
and the services he is prepared to rem
der to his customers. Some, scribes com
bine the art of painting with that Of
writing. and all add TO their activities
the business of registry offices for serv-
ants.

An Uncomfortable supersiition

A very uncomfortable superstition
prevails in the Minieh province in
Egypt. Whenever a pigeon house is to
be made, the fellahin consider that
the pottery used in its construction
should be baked by the help of human
body A pigeon house was to tie erected
recently at the village of Benz s'omrook,
in this province, and this necessary pre-
liminary of its construction was not
forgotten. A young child was first
caught and liz spite of its struggles
was put in ans oven and buried alive
while the pottery was baked with the
MD of this human holocaust. Two men,
one of them a potter by trade. have
been arrested on suspicion Of having
taken part in this old custom Cairo

The Cost of War,

The result of the Crimean war gave
to the British nation not one single foos
of foreign soil nor any pecuniary COM
pensation whatsoever The only benefit
derived from the war, which lasted two
years, was to keep Russia out of Con-
stantinople and give the English way
to India and the east that was undls-
puted. For this end the British lost 20, :
74i men killed in action or died from
wounds, cholera or other diseases. Inc
loss to the French allies in the same
campaign has been estimated at Is, 5oo
and the Russians as high as 900, ooo.
The war also cost the British $2Oo, 200, :
600 War is costly as well as dan
gerous business. 1t is the count OF last
resort with nations nowadays as 1t was

ETYMOLOGY OF "HURRAH.'
Mr.. SpratIey Says That We Get 1t From
Ancient Egypt.

W. J. Spratley, TO use his plain Eng
lish name, has favored US with copy
of letter he has addressed To The III
stitute and Lecturers Gazette on the
etymology Of the word 'Hurrah :"
which Mr.. Spratley spells "Hoorah"
We have been vaguely chcrishing the
idea that it had Russian origin, but
Mr. Spratley takes US to ancient Egypt
in his chronological search. He thinks
there can be no doubt that the Egyptian
soldiers Went into battle to the inspirit-
ing cheer Of HooRa HooRa HooRa = )"
and if the average questioning man asks
why, he staggers him with this: BE
cause HOoRa Tin the tongue OF the
Thothmes and Rameses) means The
king, the king, the king Yea, more. As
'Ra' means not only king. bur also God
and man. the concentrated meaning OF
the cry would be, For God, king and
country What more loyal, what more
patriotic, what more deyout:' What,
indeed
But lest we should haply still doubt,
Mr. Spratley clinches the matter by cit
ing, i'll confederation, the fact that his
name, III Egyptian roots, is Sa-pa-Ra-
ta-y, or Sa- pal Hoo Ra-tay, which
means Son of heaven, king Of the
two hemispheres, f" and if the authority
Of gentleman Of this descent is not
good enough for the mere doubter, even
Mr.. Sa-pa, etc, may well despair Ct
convincing him. More than this. if Mr..
Spratley's Egyptian name means any
thing-and this is an open question-lt
also signifies king of lower Egypt and
king of upper Egypt" or Emperor
of the World. But what we chiefly
like it for is that it seems TO settle an
other point that may well have batflcd
the philologist-namely, the genesis OF
the once familiar refrain Ia IA
