The business man who runs an adver-
tisement in the newspapers during De
cember will harvest share of the holt
day trade. If he is satisfied with this,
and considers the trade for the ensuing
eleven months of no value, he would per-
haps save money and considerable fault
finding by closing his store during that
period. But he can get share OF that
also by constant, judicious use OF the
newspapers, which is just as necessary
for his own protection as fire insurance.
Yet some people who deceive themselves
by saying that they cannot afford it, are
the easiest persons from whom to secure
an advertisement at the approach of
Christmas, a season when merchants who
have attained success by yearly and not
spasmodic advertising, are anxious to
largely increase their space.
A communication has been received by
the District Clerk of Northampton town
ship with reference to certain acts of the
Board of Education. Criticism is proper.
1t is the right of the taxpayer, and it is
freely invited by the members of the
Board of Education. But they want it &c
be open and with a chance to explain
The fault finder in this case, either afraid
or ashamed to give his identity, sinks
behind the signature "a Voter" His eff,
fusion shows lamentable Ignorance on
the question he discusses. as well as q
contemplate cowsrdice in making insult
ing remarks without signing his name &c
the letter. The meanest method of air
ing grievance is by the anonymous let
ter plan. We sincerely hope "a Voter
will come out over his signature and get
enlightened on some points that he Ger,
taiply is in the dark about. The Board
of Education is not in fear of any results
from investigation on the subject he men
lions. or in fact. on any other matters
connected with their official life.

Of the little girl was Lisco Takaviro,

five or six minutes the mother sought

government and plantation physician
of the district until Or. McConkey has
recovered his health.
Mrs. Lufkin, accompanied by her
daughter. Miss Lufkin, is visiting her

The temperature ut the bottom OF
the 300-foot shaft on Kihei plantation,
in which the two large pumps are con
stantly working, Is said to be 1870 de-
grees. This terrible heat is somewhat
alleviated by the blowing in of cool
air Judging from this great increase
in temperature over that at the sur
face, it is very easy to believe that
the carth's crater is an immense fiery
mass.
Two crater parties were obliged to
give up their trips on account of FRI
days storm.
There was no arrival or departure of
shipping at Kahului during the week.

WORKING ON THE
TRANSPORT WARREN

Work in the repairing of the broken
propeller blade of the transport Warren
now lying disabled at the naval wharf,
commenced early yesterday morning. On
Saturday Divers went down and reported
a blade broken OFF, leaving an eighteen
inch stump 1t was decided that the only
practical way to fix the damage was to
tip the ship, and by SO doing bring her
propeller shaft sufficiently out of the
water to allow of the new blade being
bolted on.
With this end in view part of the cargo
in the aft part of the ship was transfer
red forward, and all day long a number
of stevedores and soldiers were at work
dumping pig iron brought from the Ho-
nolulu Iron Works into the forward part
of the transport. At night the stern OF
the Warren stood two feet higher out of
the water than in the morning.
The work of loading down the trans
ports bow will be continued this
morning, and will go on until 900 tons
of iron have been taken aboard. The
depth of water where she is lying is 80
feet at high tide, and when the Warren
arrived she drew % feet. This, OF course.
allows a drop of eight feet in the trans
ports bow, and a corresponding rise Of
her stern of about three feet for every
foot of the bow sunk.
II is as yet matter of doubt whether
this ratio which prevailed yesterday will
continue as the bow goes further down.
Opinion on this matter seems TO be pref
~ evenly divided. Man old waterfront
ers shake their heads ominously when
they discuss the scheme of tipping the
transport, for they claim that the vessel
is liable TO sustain such a strain amid
ships as to render her practically use
less.
The air was full of suggestions for
the ending of the Warren's pilikia yes
terday, Some persons held that the only
way out of the difficulty was to build a
cofferdam around her. Others wanted
her stern hauled out OF the water by the
marine railway, a course of action which
was successfully followed with regard to
the disabled Nipsic which fell a victim
to the great Samoan hurricane twelve
years ago, and was afterwards brought
here.
One man insisted that the best and
quickest way to tilt the transport would
be 10 fill her forward bulkheads with wa
ter. On one point. however, all the the
orsts agreed; II being that had there
been dry dock here the transport would
have been on her way to Manila by this
time.
A new blade for the propeller is lying
on the wharf. 1t Is an emergency one,
carried by the vessel. and is not nearly
so costly an AFFAIR as was the bronze
blade which broke off short. and which
weighed a ton and cost 1880
The Warren's troops are still under
canvas on the parade ground In front OF
the drillshed, while the officers are oc-
cupying the shed itself. The men march
ed to the transport 90 mess three times
yesterday.

The declaration of opposition to
any change. which came from Mr..
Hun, of the House Committee on Mill
tary Affairs, is taken as meaning the
falling out Of the plans Of the steam
ship compares The fact is that the
army officers on not want the change
made. as it is apparent that the men
now have better care than they would
have If they were in the hands of the
contractors. Here in Honolulu the peo-
pie have q chance which Is given to
few Of the people Of the United States.
You have seen the carrying Of soldiers
under contract and again seen the reg
ular transports in the service.
Speaking of the enlisted man alone,
his condition would be very much
worse IL the carrying was by contract
OF course there would be little change
for the officers. a. they now travel in
the cabin. The Government has no
profit to make, and therefore gives to
its men a better service than could be
rendered by any private concern. The
service is now organized and the result
is that there is little chance for dis
comfort and the work is done economi-
cally.

Whether the Warren lost her propeller
blade before or after arriving here seems
to be a moot question. The chief offiCsr
of the transport said yesterday that the
accident occurred between here and San
Francisco, but other officers of the ship
declared that the blade broke Off about
10 o'clock on Saturday morning, or two
hours after the Warren sailed from here.
