HOW the Inspection of the New Sta.
ton Strikes MAN Up a Tree.
To the Editor of the Register
Sir:-Those who read the Register
yesterday morning, will note that our
sweet-scented Water Board has gra-
ciously invited the people, on the day
before election, to visit and inspect
the grand new pumping station. Now
some who are ignorant of the true sit
uation of affairs up there. will no
doubt view the thing with bullying
eye-balls, and hearts throbbing with
wonder at thought, even of the great
and mighty men who have brought all
this about through their stupendous
wisdom and forethought, and will
congratulate themselves that they
still have such a delightful gang in
control
The said gang. however. should not
fail to inform their guests that all
this splendid machinery does not be-
long to the people, but to the COM
pany who built it, and for which the
people are now paying, as per state
ment of the Water Board, SIS. GEO per
year rent. A better plan would have
been to hold this mutual administra-
ton party on election day. when the
bullying eye-ball and throbbing heart
crowd could have been marched at
once to the polls, and while the iron
was hot have them all to vote against
retiring from the Board such val
liable set of magnanimeus self-sacri-
ftcing and far-seeing public servants.

CAN C. z R

Sufferers from this horrible rnalady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the pareuts, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
Poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes it's ap-
pearance or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
of it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows |:
A small pimple came on my jaw about an inch
below the on the left side of my face. 1t gave

RecIpe. For Happiness.

Happiness is not to be procured like
hard bake in a solid lump. 1t is COM
posed OF innumerable small items. The
recipes for its acquisition are simple,
and therefore we ignore them. Love
In marriage, fidelity in friendship, af-
lection between parent and children,
courtesy in intercourse, devotion to
duty and perfect sincerity in every re-
Iation of life-those are the ingredients
of a happy life. In the quest for hap
piness one could not do better than put
into practice the precepts of the great
Persian. Taking the first step with
the good thought. the second step with
the good word and the third step with
the good deed, entered paradise. ~

it is the little things of life which we can
do for each other that show the true
nobility of character.
Major: We know that you have nc
relish for words of hattery or praise
lawyers do not, as a rule, care for either
but we wanted to say these words to
you, and we wanted to look in your liv-
ing face, when we said them; in addition
to our words, we desired to do some un.
ostentatious thing, which would be in
keeping with your unassuming nature
and for this purpose we have brought
with us a simple cane, unadorned and un-
mounted with gold, which we present to
you for use, not now, for you do not now
require such support, but many years
hence when old age comes creeping on
and you are passing down the hillside OF
life, we hope that you will find it useful
to lean upon for strength and support
In conclusion Major, we wish you many
happy returns of the 2lst day of Decem-
Der 1.-THE Pilgrims day. which you shall
enjoy surrounded with the comforts OF
life. and your excellent family, in the
exalted esteem of your friends and the
brethren of the bar"
Warm Words From Moline.
W. j. Entrikin next delivered a happy
speech, in behalf of the Moline bar, in
which he traced Mai. Connolly from his
birth through his career as printer, edi-
tor, lawyer mad soldier, having, on ac-
count of his noble work in the latter
service, been advanced to the office of
major. In conclusion Mr.. Entrikin said ::
mo difference how many other titles
of right may be coupled with your name,
those who know you best will never g;T-
you any appellation other than that of
Maj. Connolly. 1t il, however, the home
life rather than public that must ever be
the true test of good citizenship. You
have established a model American home
and here today, in such a home. with
loving wife and esteemed and dutiful
children, you have been awakened from
a peaceful nap by your brothers, who
come TO tell you that they have noted
with pleasure, your work of seventy
eventful years.
I'VE bring you this common, but strong
stick, without silver or gold or
nament, "a emblamatic of your sturdy,
eventful and useful life, and that YOU
may live to enjoy for many more years
the fruits gathered along the way, is the
heartfelt wish of your long time asso-
ciates.

NOT UP TO
EXPECTATIONS

The income tax returns do not come
up to the expectations of the collector
The total number of returns turned in
was 2,T75 up to Wednesday night. and all
day yesterday .stragglers came in to file
their schedules. These were not refused
by the collector, but he would not per-
nit the taxpayer to make affidavit to the
truth of his statement, under a holding
that he could not refuse to accept the
return when rendered. Representative
Dickey, who originated the income tax
bill. estimated that it would bring in half
million dollars, which would make it
necessary for the taxpayers of Honolulu
to pay on an average income Of 5000.
If the average is $4,000 this would bring
in only about $4,000 for Honolulu. and it
is anticipated that the, remainder of the
Islands will furnish like amount.

WHITE LEAD A DEADLY POISON.

A vigorous campaign is being carried
on against the use of blanc de ceruse
carbonate of lead) In painting. This Is
in accordance with resolution passed
by the superior council of hygiene of
France. which ranked white lead among
the deadly poisons. 1t is well known that
tbis pigment is the common cause of the
lead poisoning so widespread among
nainters. The director of posts and tele-
graphs has forbidden its use In all the
offices under his control, and in addition
the painters of .Grenoble have gone on
strike to demand that all employers
should use zinc white instead of lead
white. zinc white is far less poisonous,
but more expensive. as owing to its want
of .sbody' more coats have to be laid on.
The painters have sent out a circular to
Ill radical men in France asking for
their support. They also ask for the sub
scriptions of medical men to be paid into
the strike fund in the name Of those prin-
etr,as of hygiene and sanitation upon
which The Lancet medical men are al
ways insisting.

Asserting an Ancient Right.

NEW YORK, July 25.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
Hastings was the scene yesterday of
a most picturesque old time ceremo-
NAL. The Brotherhood and Guestling
Court, which is the curious title given
to the Council of the Cirque ports,
met there for the first time since 1860.
ITO take steps to assert the ancient
right of the barons or freemen of the
port to take part in the coronation. The
privilege was recognized in the ancient
days when the Cirque ports-Hastings,
Romney, Hythe. Dover and Sandwich
constituted an important factor in the
national defense, but the claim which
is now made was allowed to lapse at
the coronation of Victoria and Will
liam w. The usual number of barons
at a coronation is thirty-two and they
are empowered to carry the eaudpy
over the heads of the King and Queen,
and possess the right of putting on
their caps as soon as the King is crown
ed
