Congress.

The care which President Roosevelt is exercising
in the selection of horses for in Washington has
attracted the attention of newspaper in that city,
and the result is getting good deal of inter
esting information concerning the subject Thus a
correspondent of the Philadelphia Public Ledger re-
Gently sad 1T is really hard matter to buy a
horse for driving in Washington. If large and
stylish animal is wanted great must be given to
his way of going he will be likely to pound his
feet pieces the asphalt Here there is asphalt
everywhere and it is tough stuff to work horse
The hoof is always badly strained in the never
ending impact and also dries to brittle state that
develops quarter cracks" 1t would appear from all
that information that the streets of which Washington
has been Dragging so much hardly fit for any
thing except bicycles automobiles.

Should Liverpool and Glasgow establish a quar-
antine to prevent the import of some plague from
Italy it would occasion no surprise, but is rather
odd to learn from European dispatches that Naples
and Genoa have established a quarantine against
Glasgow and Liverpool 1t is the belief of
the Italians that the two British ports are injected
with bubonc plague and they are taking no chances

In recent address to young Secretary Gage

country the Presidents chair has never yet been

that of lieutenant general. The grade OF

speedy construction of the Ncaraguan canal is that
when completed it will make wonderful difference

Kaiser Wilhelm has issued manifesto to his troops
who served in China warmly thanking them for their
services and declaring they have added "fresh aures

sounds little bit large for the size of the war; but

It WAS VERY TOUCHING
THE DEPARTURE OF DELEGATE
wILIKoKI.
He Smiles Bandly at Would-be Bill
Collectors and Their only Comfort is
"Mahope."

Amid the smiles and tears of yester-
days departure of the Mariposa for
San Francisco there were some spe-
cially touching" smiles from Delegate
Wilikoki responded to by dark frowns
from two bill collectors on the wharf.
The delegate to Congress did not get his
ticket until the last minute and soon II
began to be whispered by people who
had forgotten that the old passport law
was dead, that he was to be stopped"
Under the impression that the dele
gate was slowed away somewhere on
board, officers made a diligent search
for him an hour before the sailing time.
He had not arrived at the wharf, how
ever. When he did come he was ac-
costed as soon as he stepped on board,
with a summons on account of a pro-
misory note, said to be due on assign
ment to Q. H. Berry and to be the bal
ance of debt incurred when the Home
Rule Republican bought a piano for
Mrs. Theresa Wilikoki, about eleven
years ago. Another officer served a
judgment on the delegate.
1t was 'mahope" in both cases. Will
cox stayed on board receiving leis and
clasping glad hands until the last
minute The officers went ashore and
stood with the creditors and other spec
tators till the vessel left.
AS the vessel moved away Wilikoki
and Representative Beckley stood side
by side, covered with leis. The never
absent Wilikoki smile was no broader
than usual but it was not a whit less
pleasant. The delegate seemed salts
fled with the world
II expect to take my wife and family
to some Atlantic seaport to spend the
hot weather." said Wilcox, when asked
about his plans. Meanwhile the bill col
lectors will be staying in far-off Hawaii
meditating upon their next move.

The Board of Health yesterday con-
sidered the matter of fumigating the

be made possible. Reports showed that
there had been 1000 new cases of small
pox in the United States between the
9th and 18th of April. Dr. Cooper and
DR.. Sloggett were both of the opinion
that no chances hould be taken and this
view was approved.
Figures supplied by DR.. Cofer U. S.

plague in Hongkong and one case at
Nagasaki.
A definite proposal for a pai-ai con-
tract for the leper settlement came
from Lee Chew, the King street taro
planter. He does not care to touch the
contract unless it be for at least four
years. On a four years contract he
agrees to furnish twenty-one pound
bundles at $1.10 and twenty-five pound
bundles at $1.30; six years contract, for
same sizes, So cents and 81; eight years
contract, so cents and 50 cent? I'm
der these terms he will supply 400 bun
dies per week. William Aud, E. A.
Mott-Smith and DR.. ]. S. B. Pratt were
appointed a committee to Investigate
the matter and report back.
A letter from Lahaina, praying that
the water system be put into proper
shape in the interest of the 500 school
children there, was referred to the sup
erintendent of public works with the
recommendation that the water be sup
piled.
Prof Shorey submitted long report
on adulterated food stuffs.
A request of George w. Smith to send

BARRIERS FOR MIGHTY WATERS

Three dams which for generations will be looked upon as among the most remarkable constructions of the sort in the entire history of engineer ing are now we'll under way. Two of these are in the United States and one is in Egypt. Not far above the mouth Of the Croton river, where it flows into the Hudson, is an enormous bar rier to the waters of the Croton water shed is steadily widening and rising at cost of many millions of dollars. When this is completed several years from now, and when the huge, Jerome park reservoir is finished the water supply of New York will be far better prepared for the longest and severest of droughts than 1t is now. In every spring since this city first drew upon the Croton valley for water enormous quantities have been wasted by flowing over the present Croton dam. Therefore 1t was decided years ago that an immensely thicker, loftier and stronger dam should be erected nearer the Hudson to prevent this lamenta- ble waste and to hold back a quantity of water of dimensions suitable for the needs of so great city.
 In Clinton, Mass, a dam is now in progress, which in height and breadth
 
 in the size of the huge reservoirs of which it will be the buttress and bull wark, will rank with the most ambi- tions and impressive of water supply citadels that any country ever saw or thought of. An artificial lake many miles in length and of great depth, is to be created by holding in branches of the Nashua river. A marvellous transformation of that entire region in Massachusetts will result from this colossal enterprise. All the cities and towns of eastern Massachusetts will benefit from the undertaking. The state carries on the work, issues the bonds, supervises the contracts and protects the public interests, but the communities which are to derive an abundant provision of pure water from the new lake will pay reasonable amounts for the supply they use. Boston, of course, will be the whale among the minnows in comparison with the other places, in taking the Nashua water Farms, mill sites, important industries, railroad lines, broad stretches of woodlands, many roadways and more than one village must be swept away for the new lake and the places which they once occu- pied will be covered by this great res ervoir.
 The dam across the Nile at Assouan has been much written about in the newspapers and magazines of late. It cannot be doubted that this splendid project will be of inestimable benefit to the entire valley of the Nile. These three dams, in New York, Massachu- setts and Africa, are enterprises so titanic and at the same time so ad- mirabIe that their completion will be memorable in the early years of the twentieth century.

NEW CHIEF ELECTED.
Installed in Accordance with Ritual
 Old as the Hills.
Snc and Fox Tribes, Who Are suH Worshipera, Cling with Tenacity to the suDerstitious Beliefs
 of Their Ancestors.

With all the ancient and mysterious rites of the sun worshipers, the Sac and Fox tribe of Indians who live on stalled new medicine chief into office. The new chief is Ka-wan-so, and he takes the place of Wa-pa-ke-sek, who sickened and died in the growing sea- son. The dead chief had only been in office few months, and it is thought he was poisoned by jealous opponents.
 Looking Glass, the chicf medicine man of the tribe, says that evil-spirit- ed redskins gave Wa-pa-ka-se arsenic, which was mixed in with his whisky, and that several young men of the tribe are strongly suspected of being the guilty parties. A few weeks ago, when the sun beat down upon the plains of Oklahoma and the whole re- servation of these Indians took on an appearance of summer. Ka-wan-so was made medicine chief fhis tribe of sun worshiping Indians.
 One morning, when the sun had scarcely peeped over the treetops, Red Eagle, a minor medicine chief, came bounding from his tepee blowing fercely upon his medicine whistle.
 As Wa-pa-ke-sek had died drunk ard he had naturally left his curse upon the tribe, according to the In- dians' way of thinking. Two days had elapsed since his death and he had not appeared in ghost-like spirit to in- form Red Eagle as to who should be his successor. Finally, Red Eagle gave up that the dead chief was going to appear owing to the fact that he had been assassinated. So he announced that he would choose Ka-wan-so to act as new medicine chief of the tribe.
 As master of ceremonies, Red Eagle ordered all of the braves to put on their black paint and assemble at the burial grounds of the tribe at sunrise for tho purpose of laying away ths body of the dead chief and inaugurata ing the new chief into office.
 A berry tree was cut for the purpose of allowing each Indian to eat berry therefrom and drive away forever the

CARE OF THE KITCHEN FLOOR

Sweep the kitchen floor thoroughly once day, and if anything is spilled upon it during the day wipe or brush it up immediately. If grease, pour cold water upon it and it will quickly harden the greater part can then be scraped off. With proper care once a week will be often enough for gen. eral scrubbing. Before sweeping see --that no food is = left uncovered
 sweep from the edges of the room to- wards the center this holds good in sweeping any sroom. When the dust has been gathered in one spot take it up with q dustpan With the assistance of a whisk broom. Never sweep dust from one room to another.
 Before scrubbing the floor give it a thorough sweeping. If the floor is bare look for the grease spots and take them out first; then notice how the grain of the wood runs and scrub with the grain. Scrub only a small place at time and when this is elean take a cloth, dip it in clean water (you should have two pails, one for your scrubbing brush and soapy water and the containing only clear water), and with it wash the part that has been scrubbed; use no more water than you need; then rinse the cloth out in your clean water, wiring 1t as dry as you can and wipe the floor Proceed in this way until the whole floor has been cleaned. If the floor is covered with oilcloth it should not be scrubbed but wiped off with warm water and milk-one cnpful of milk to one gallon of warmwa ter-and dried at once with a clean cloth.-American Queen.
