DUFFY'S LATEST WCTORK.

Without exception the attitude of the
city toward Mr.. Joseph Duffy, the we'll
known contractor, is one of the most
peculiar features of the extraordinary
Harrison administration. While all
who know Mr.. Duffy and are in any de-
gree acquainted with the facts Of his
case are glad of his recent victory over
the city and the large judgment he has
secured, people ut the same time cannot
help wondering why 1t Is that the city,
through Its law department, should be

Of some rough but kindly and we'll
meaning men to treat their friends
with cruelty In exchanging salutations.
A heavy slap on the shoulder. u punch

of expressing their friendly sentiments.
These unfriendly friends think that 1t

SANITARY PLUMBING.

Sanitary plumbing is a topic that
should attract the attention and inter-
est of every resident of this beautiful
island who wishes to see it become, in
truth, worthy of it's name, THE Para
disc of the Pacific" We notice with
pleasure the action of the Board of
Health in framing amendments to their
rules and regulations at their meetings
held June Is. 1902. and July 2, 1902
Too much praise and assistance can
not be given the gentlemen who COM
prise that honorable body and their
whose labors might be rendered much
easier and less disagreeable, by the in
dividual as well as the public, who
can but poorly appreciate the unpleas-
ant tasks these officers have to per-
form in the discharge of their duties.
We have noticed in Honolulu an ap-
parent desire to hide or secrete as
much as possible of the plumbing in all
buildings being erected, practice that
we contend should be discontinued. for
castings are often Imperfect anu with
the low pressure of water in certain
districts, too little attention is apt to
be given in testing a job of plumbing.
and where pipes are hidden, consider
able expense is incurred when repairs
are necessitated. We believe that the
average person judges a job of plumb

or exposed features of the work, when
in reality the most attention should be
given 10 properly trapping, vents and
wastes. the parts of work that are at
present being hidden and walled in, and

Tourist Travel.
LTD.

Honolulu is at length waking up to
the Importance of attracting tourist
travel TO the Islands. With the com
pletion of the cable, the objection TO
being cut of from the rest of the world
will be removed, and if the movement
be properly followed up, thousands Of
tourists from the wintry regions of the
United States will come to consider it
the proper thing to spend two or three
of the winter months on the Islands.
and when the conditions are properly
understood here, as many will come
down here TO escape the oppressive
summer heat on the mainland. AS for
the methods OF attracting tourist travel,
they are too numerous and obvious for
discussion. The principal thing is to
appoint committee of live men in Ho-
nolulu and furnish them with the sin
ews OF war and a free hand, and the
tide Of tourist travel will soon begin to
roll this way.-Maui News

POISONED CABBAGE AS A
CUT-WORM DESTROYER
Jared Smith Receives Remedy From Washing
ton for Waimea Pest---Mongoose Kills
Ground-Nesting Birds.

How to get rid of cutworms and 9th
er destroyers of vegetation in Hawaii
is question which is perplexing both
the United States and Territorial Agri-
cultural Departments at present. Pro-
fessor Koebele. who is in Mexico
searching for a lantana blight, will also
probably bring back some destroyer of
insect pests, and Special Agent Jared
Smith of the Experimental Station has
been trying to secure information for
the same purpose in Washington.
In the mail brought by the Hong
Kong Maru he received a letter of in
formation from c. Hart Merriam, chief
of the Biological Survey. in response
to a request in which little hope was
given. Mr.. Smith made specific re-
quest for the name of some bird which
would be death to cut worms, and
thought the hawk or quail might serve
the purpose. The mongoose, which is
so plentiful in the Islands, is a bar to
the introduction of any ground nest
birds The cut worm is doing consid-
cradle damage 10 vegetation in the
w aimea district and farmers in that
vicinity are in much need of some
thing which will kill it off-the worms
One remedy suggested by the depart
ment is the poisoning of cabbagel
leaves. which will probably be attempt
ed in Waimea.

POCKETS CONTAINED
STOLEN MATCHES
Portuguese Youths Pursued by
Officer Apana and Put
in Jail.

With their pockets filed with stolen
boxes of matches and giving Police Of
ficer Apana a merry chase for nearly
two blocks, Joe Patrice, Jacinto Pa
trice and Joe Depunt, three Portuguese
boys from the slopes of Punchbowi,
sought to deprive Japanese merchant
at the corner of Maunakea and Pauani
streets of part of his stock in trade
yesterday afternoon. The result Is that
matches and boys are now at the sta
ton house, held for nvestigation. The
Japanese merchant appeared at the
station soon after Apana had brought
his prisoners into the clerks ONCE and
said he had the matches out in his yard
TO get the dampness out of them, as
the lucifers were weak" During this
drying-out process the Portuguese
youths espied them and in the twink
ling of an eye several packages con-
tanning half dozen boxes each, were
in their capacious pockets and stuffed
under their shirts. Hardly had the
boys started away with their loot when
the Japanese merchant discovered his
loss. Officer Apana was in the vicin-
ity and he at once gave chase The
boys ran and threw boxes away, which
We're picked up by the owner. At last
Apana caught all three youngsters. Joe
Patrice admitted at the station that he
had stolen the goods but thought they
had been thrown away by the store
keeper They were not inside the store
and therefore he considered they were
not wanted by the owners. The store
keeper complained to the police that
the oldest boy, Joe Patrice, had often
been seen sneaking around his place.

Upon the death OF Lewis the widow

also in 1897. The remaining heirs con-
1ead that the lease became void upon
tate. excepting a e-eighth interest
which she owned as a beneficiary of her
sen. who died before her.
After failing to effect an amicable

refused to excuse from jury service f.
w. Macfarlane, chairman, and J. NJ.
Riggs, clerk of the Fire Claims Court,
Teconsidered his action yesterday and
let both men go. The action was taken
at the request of Governor Dole.
Shortly after court was opened yes
terday morning communication was
received by the court, which he imme-
diately answered. The case of Aud VS.
Oahu Lumber Co. was on trial at the
time, and both Macfarlane and Riggs
were called as jurors. They were ex-
amined and the excuses presented by
both were held to be insufficient, and
the entire jury was then sworn to try
the case After the two Fire Court
men had become resigned to their fate,
Judge Humphreys calmly announced
that both would be excused from fur
Their service at the term.
The following was the correspondence
passing between the Governor and the
judge in connection with the matter:

Moros inhabited the interior portions OF
Mindanoa. Stone said his Investigation

point, and Stone noted them only at scat
