CoMMIrTEE AT WORK.

Tue Joint Committee Of the two
Hou..s composed of seveu MEM
&c. from each House is doing good
work with S7nxtor Baldwin ss
chairman. The best members OF
the Houses have been chosen to sit
on the committee and the work is
progressing rapidly without much
wran Cling or discussion. The COM
mittee needs not necessarily adopt
estimates of either, and we believe
that there are bureaus and depart
ments which have been crippled
through insufficient appropriations
in both Houses. All our big ship
ping firms have sent petition to
the House for subsidy for a FIRE
boat, aud yet we do not see the item
on any of the bills although it was
introduced by representative Moss
man and supported by the whole
community. Had it not been fer
the Fearless acting as fire boat
when the Bryant was burning that
vessel would have been destroyed
aud undoubtedly those lying near
her as we'll as the wharf and the
goods on it gone up in flames. Ii
by an oversight important items
have been overlooked the int COM
mittee should insert them in it's re-
port. The police department will
be crippled if the appropriation
passed in any of the Houses is al.
lowed to stand. Look at the Maui
Grand jury report in which the
police is scored on account OF the
illicit selling of liquor on that ISL
land The High Sheriff is helpless
because he cannot engage detectives
to gather in proofs to convict the
guilty parties because he has nc
funds from which to recompense
the men whom he would be obliged
to hire to catch the evil-doers There
are other instances where the Joint
Committee should take hand and
make necessary appropriations fol
carrying on the work OF the gov
ernment. We have always fought
for retrenchment but not for false
economy. If the comrittee woulo
do as it did today the session shoule
be closei before the end OF thi
week.

Blaze on BarkBryant.

Early yesterday morning an alarm
was sent in that the cargo OF the
G. D. Bryant was on ire and prompt
responses were made by ths Depart
ment and the tug Fearless.
The Bryant is moored at the Irm-
gard wharf and had discharged her
deck load of machinery. Iu the
hold were hay, building material
and general merchandise consigned
to Hackfeld & Co. The fire was
noticed by the carpenter who saw
volume of smoke coming out of the
forward hatch, which in some mys-
terious manner had been opened
during the~nighs. The sm Ike was 60
heavy that it was impossible to
locate where the FIRE was, and it was
considered necessary to submerge
the hold and sacrifice the cargo to
save the bark and other shipping in
her vicinity. For Eve long hours
the Fearless and the Department
poured water into the hold, and the
ship gradually filed sank down
until the hold was under the water
aud the FIRE extinct. Nine streams
OF water we're poured into the bark
the men on the F@arless as we'll as
the Department boys working with
a will while most of the crew of the
bark, who should have helped
packed up their things and deserted
the ship. Most of them insbriated,
and it is surmissd that the resson
the hatch was open, although closed
\ the, night before is due 10 the fact
that the crew attempted to broach
the cargo in which there was COO.
siderable liquor which was slowed
near the forward hatch. There i,
also a theory that the FIRE was caus
ed by incendisrism and the police
has taken the matter in hand.
After the fire was put out the
water was pumped and this morn.
ing there was only four feet ol
water in the hold. Thisis the third
fire in the harbor within very
short period.
Captain Brockaw OF the Fearless
deserves great credit for the man

IN PUBLIC FAVOR.
A Remedy For the Cure Of Piles
Which Has Met With Re-
markabIe Success.

There are many popular medicines
that are known in every household in
America
There are blood purifiers, nerve tonics
headache powders, dyspepsia cures and
cough cures which are sold in every
drug store.
But all OF these must divide popular
ity with many rivals. no one remedy
has the field to itself, with the single ex-
ception of pile cures for it is a singular
fact that among the host OF remedies,
there is but one pile cure that can be
considered as having a national reputa-
ton, without a rival and the remedy re-
ferred to is the Pyramid Pile Cure,
which for seven years has steadily
worked into public favor, by reason of
its extraordinary merit and a method
and q record of remarkable cures, until
and from Manitoba to the Gulf Of Mex
ico-
It is true there are many pile remedies
having small local reputation for a
year or two but the Pyramid Pile Cure
has rapidly supplanted them all and
really has the field to itself when any
thing like national popularity is consfd-
cred.
The explanation is simple It is be-
cause piles is in no sense an imaginary
trouble, that simple sa1ve or ointment

often dangerous trouble and a remedy
to give satisfaction must possess posi-
tive and very apparent merit A person
suffering from piles viii not experiment
for months with a remedy: it must give
relief ard a cure IN short order or it is
condemned.
The worst cases Of piles are relieved
on the first application, and being in

that Murray Hall. the eccentric pawn
broker, who died last week, for thirty
five years masqueraded successfully a.

The widest imaginings OF fiction writ
ers are as mere commonplace beside
the real life story of Murray Hall. the
wizened little old woman. who for more
tnan q generation maSQueraded as
man, undetected by the sharp eyes OF
the thousands of New Workers with
whom she came in contact. Only when
she lay on her deathbed, protesting
against the intrusion of the physician
who had been summoned by her adopted
daughter. Minnie. was her life secret
divulged-torn from her cancered
breast.
So complete a subjugation Of woraanly
personality were impossible of belief
were it not known that for years she
played her assumed role in every par

participated actively in politics, she
fraquented bars. drank heavily and
swore roundly. Yes, and she had taken
unto herself wives.

would tell but little, even when most
laxative. but she did say that she had
suffered while searching for gold. and
that finally she had returned to New
