COMMON COUNCIL.

Common council held a regular ses-
sion last evening, at which consider
able routine business was transacted,
a number of ordinances being passed
on third and final reading. A resolu-
ton was introduced by Mr.. Gurrell, of
the Fourteenth ward, directing the di-
rector of public works to repair Fair
view avenue, and put it in passable
shape.
Mr.. Paine wanted to know If the
director of public works had refused
to repair the street, and if not that
he be "asked" politely, instead of be-
ing directed" to do the job. His con-
tention was that council had no au-
thorty to direct the director to do
thus and so. The resolution was
adopted
Mr.. Evans, of the First ward, intro
duced resolution directing that the
committee on streets and bridges, in
conjunction with the director of pub
lie works and the chief engineer, be in
structed to visit the location Of the
proposed new bridge over the Lacka-
wanan river in the First ward, and re-
port back to councils at the earliest
possible moment the most desirable
site for the bridge to be located. This
was adopted.

AFTER CARNEGIE
FOR LIBRARY
David Starr Jordan Proposes to
Aid Honolulu in the
Matter.

If Honolulu does not get a share of the
good gole of Andrew Carnegie at least
it wants to know the reason why. So it
was that the last mail carried to the
library-gfver second letter from the
trustees of the Honolulu library. through
its president, Professor NJ. NJ. Scott.
a hopeful feature of the matter lies
in the fact that President David Starr
Jordan, of Stanford University, has given
his support to the project, and is urging
upon Mr. Carnegie the settlement of
sum of money upon the library for the
purpose of taking care of its work. The
Californian took Up this matter while
here and it is the belief that ne will lat
err see Mr. Carnegie, who is a close per-
sonaI friend, and urge the benefaction
upon his attention.
The renewal of the presentation Of the
local case was undertaken upon the be-
lief that the first letter to the steel
magnate miscarried, through its having
been nisdirected This time the letter
was forwarded to the New York address
of the millionaire, and without doubt
will reach his eye, or at least that of his
secretary.

of the estate of the late William A. AID
rich, upon the ground of fraud, has filed
an appeal in the case. Mrs. Aldrich al
leges that the executors falsifed their
account so that the sum of 1884, receiv
ed as dividends from forty-three shares
of stock OF the Germania Lead Works
was made to appear as receipts for the
sale of the stock. Mrs Aldrich claims
that part of the money is due her as the
widow of the late William H. Aidrich,
to whom William II. Aldrich left one
quarter of the residue of his estate for
himself and the education of his chill
dren. Mrs. Aldrich says she was in Ho-
nolulu when the account of the execu-
tors was approved and did not learn of
the alleged fraud until she returned to
California a few months ago. She was
nonsuited by Judge Ellsworth upon the
ground that the account had once been
passed upon by the Probate Judge and
could not be reviewed by another Judge

can answer the same purpose as the
proposed cable.
If Marconi has flashed signals from
st. Johns to Cornwall, a distance of
1900 miles, why can he not do the same
thing between Honolulu and San Fran
cisco. only 800 miles further?

cussed in Honolulu, and already the
people are specializing on the means
that may be necessary to have the sys-
tenn inaugurated.
In the published accounts of Mar
coni's latest achievement it appears
that stations were erected 200 feet
above sea level at one end of the de-
sired line of communication, and at
the other end 500 feet above sea level.
From these stations balloons were sent
up and the signals were flashed on
straight line to the destination, 1900
miles away. The facilities are much
better in Hawaii and near San Fran
cisco than at either of the terminal
points chosen by the Italian inventor
for his last experiment. For the Hon
olulu end TantaIus offers an inviting
location, while Mt. Tamalpais would
give almost any desired elevation for
the San Francisco station.
Whatever difficulties may be in the
way of a commercial adaptation of the
Italian wizards invention, there is no
question about the way the matter is
regarded in Hawaii. The people there
believe that their long-desired cable
can find a satisfactory substitute in the

and it is considered a fine likeness as

Dorothy Freethe's portrait and that of
Eva Focke are also most successful. Mr..

charmingly. But it is not so much the
clever portraits goes on my correspond

WHY JOE DIDN'T SHINE.

Town Talk says: Joe Tobin played
polo when he was in Honolulu, but he
did not distinguish himself before the
native players. The reason of this was
not that the tropical climate rendered
him inert, but because of his poor
mount. There are no polo ponies worth
the name in the Islands, and not one
that compares with the poorest in the
Blingum stables. If Mr.. Tobin had been
mounted on Charlie Dunphy's pony he
would have shown the Hawaiians that
his reputation as a crack polo player
was not one of wind. For Joe certainly
knows how to ride.

Eight Witbout Sight.

We can perceive" light without the
smallest aid from the retina. If the
optic nerve is sufficiently excited to
reach the sensorium and create a dis
turbance at that center of the brain
where the optic nerve terminates, we
shall then see light and sparks. If,
moreover, the optic nerve is cut or mu-
tilated in any way, we should see
brilliant flash of light, tho without
any sensation of pain. And so it is
with the other nerves. The auditory
nerve has only to be excited, not nee
essarily by sound, so as to reach it's
center, the brain, and we shall hear
sound. How many ghosts might not
be destroyed in this way P Chambers

Success.

|NOME one has remarked that
nothing succeeds like success.
~ On the surface the assertion
seems beyond contradiction.
The favorable termination of anything
attempted, in popular phrase, is termed
success. But the standpoint alters the
view. What may seem from one point
a quite lofty wave may from another
appear but little more than strong
ripple. There are some who would
call that success which to others ap-
pears failure, in so far as the higher
purposes Of life are involved. The man
who draws at first venture a so-called
prize-in some deal, is looked upon by
some persons as very lucky, whereas
it is often an unfortunate thing for
him. Touch not, handle not, is the
best advice in such matters. Getting
something for nothing is often a very
expensive way in the long run. The
taste for gambling is said to be more
enticing than that for strong drink,
and perhaps more difficult to overcome.
The confirmed gambler is as apt as the
confirmed drunkard to lose all proper
regard for his family.
There are those to whom opportu-
mites to obtain wealth or worldly hon.
ors are denied, because they take upon
themselves the care of parents:or help
less relatives. But one who, from a
sense of right, relinquishes bright
hopes and stands faithfully and cheer
fully by work that duty imposes, his
life is so far from being a failure that
it might be called success. It will
stand above comparison with that of
brilliant genius, or with that of one
who, through skill, shrewdness or en-
ergy, has acquired great fortune in
money or lands. But the worldly
minded will not so regard it.
Life is great failure to those who
cannot bear up under disappointments
and reverses. The person who cannot
be happy unless those about him are
well, and all work is moving very rap
idly, stands chance of calling life a
failure.
! 1t is said that Lowell's wife once re-.
marked Of one who deserved the ap-
pellation: "She is snob." "Rather,"
said the poet, "say she has great SYM
pathy with success" Reference was,
OF course, to undue regard for wealth,
name or station. Tho at times appar-
emily slow, the progress of busy, useful
people is what insures all comfort and
good name. If the thousands were not
so faithful there would be no grand
achievements. And only in honorable
conduct through the whole drama of
life lies true success. A. r. S.

Hneient Records in China.

In the temple of Confucius at Pekinp
are number of stone tablets covered
with inscriptions which were ldiscoy-
cred by the Chinese in the eighth CEN
tury before Christ, and which, un-
doubtedly, belonged to a much earlier
period, which have been carefully pre-
served since the time they were found.
It is believed that the destruction of
the magnificent library of the Han
Lin college. or national academy, which
stood just north of the British lega-
tion in Peking, and which was de-
strOyed by fire by the Boxers" dur
ing the recent siege, has been loss
to the world comparable only to the
burning of the Alexandrian library
