VOTERS OUT
FOR OFFICE
ALSO
THEY CLAIM MANY VOTES AND
WANT Observation-Disclosures
HOLD MEETING TO DECIDE HOW
MANY OFFICES ARE WANTED.

The latest candidature for legislative
representation emanates from Oriental
ranks. The Chinese colony, claiming
twice as many votes as the denizens of
Punchbowl have been spurred up by
the example of the Portuguese and will
shortly hold a meeting at which they
will choose their candidate and then lay
plans for afiliation with the Republican
party.
The Chinese, who have been on the
islands in considerable force for many
years have many born in the territory
who can become duly qualified voters if
they are able to write and read the
English language. There are also sew
eral who have already qualified them
selves as voting citizens. While there
is no doubt that many of the Chinese
can read, write and speak the English
language with fluency, it is stated by
those who have close business relations
with them, that many who speak the
language readily enough and can per-
haps make shift to write their sigma
ture, would fail dismally if asked to
read or write.
On the other hand there have been a
number of small evening school main
tained by private teachers, off and on,
for many years, held in sitting rooms OF
private houses which have been attend
ed by from five to six Chinese boys Of
ten employed as house servants, who
applied themselves laboriously to text
books at the rate of twenty-five cents
a lesson.
Almost every kamaaina knows of
someone who conducted these classes.
Sellers of the primers and text books in
the Chinese-E English language can test
fy to the search for enlightenment by
the number sold annually. 1t remains a
truth however that few of these private
teachers taught their pupils to write.
The Mills Institute has turned out
many duly qualified native born boys.
The Chinese who are at the head of
the moven Cnt claim to have fou; hun
dTed votes that will be available il
November They claim fur;he1 that
the Portuguese have not more than two
hundred. That the Chinese vOters are
a weather. and more intelligent class
and, if the Portuguese are to he con-
sidered worthy of two representatives
they are at least entitled to one. The
leaders appear perfectly to realize the
value of their votes in the present
situation. At present their tall, seems
TO be entirely for Republicanisn or De-
mocracy, Home Rule not beinr meG
toned by them.
In Republican circles the news of the
Chinese departure is taken favorahly.
1.-The more votes of this description, the
worse for the opposition seems to De
the general verdict. The meeting will,
it is thought take place tomorrow night
and conference be held with party lead
ers before the convention.

RUMORED FUSION

1t is announced that the Democrats
have fused with the Home Rule party
and viii support Wilcox, receiving lib
eral terms in exchange for their sup
port.
The rate of exchange is stated to be
fifty-five per cent of the nominations in
exchange for Wilcox as delegate. The
statement is made authoritatively by
several as having been concluded at a
private caucus of the leaders within the
last few hours. Other prominent de-
mOcrats emphatically deny that any
such meeting or arrangement has taken
place at all. Colonel Mccarthy IS
known to be greatly opposed to Wilcox.

SEWER PIPE
ROOTS OF TREES PIERCE THE
STONE.
A Sewer System That Will Cause
Much Trouble In the Future-What
a Mechanic Has To Say.

Sewer pipes dug up near the JUdi-
ciary building this morning show re-
markable effects of the roots of trees
in the vicinity. The system became
clogged recently, and it was decided TO
eXcaVate and find out what was the
matter. On digging up the pipes the
workmen found that the tree roots had
gradually worked their way into the
pipes and stopped them up. The roots
worked in at the joints and spread in
side so that the sewers were useless.
Iron pipes are now being laid. The
condition of the cemented pipes is re-
garded as a startling indication of
pilikia to come, for the new sewer sys-
tenn of Honolulu consists almost entire
ly of this kind of pipe, and there are
many places where the spreading roots
of trees may attack them.
The pipes were in the ground at
least 20 feet from the nearest tree,
which is a palm The roots had almost
entirely filled some of tine lrngths Of
pipe. They had spread from the joints
and clogged up several hundred feet of
pipe, so that little could pass through.
A picture of some of the clngged up
lengths of pipe was taken by Williams
at the request of the plumber, j.. r.
Bath, who is putting in the new
lengths.
nave NdIIltl I1OllOlGlu ptOplS
many times against this sort of thing"
said Bath. "Only recently 1 have ha 1
to take out two hundred feet Of pipe
at Waikiki residence. Tie pipe had
been in the ground only about two
years, but it was all clogged up with
the roots of trees. They find their way
through the pipes, and soon fill them.
/ knew as soon as l was called to this
job and saw the palm trees about, that
it was the same old trouble There win
be a lot of it, in localities in Honolulu
where stone pipe is used. The iron
pipe which we are putting down here
will keep out the trees, but it is inn
possible to cement the stone pipes to-
gether so that they will last"
The pipe which the trees penetrated
with their roots is of vitrifiad stone,
fastened together with eemen; At al
most every joint along the makai side
of the judiciary building the joints are
clogged with roots. They are all taken
up, and iron pipes are being laid in
their places.

THE DRINKING HABIT.

According to the Baltimore Sun, it is
said that in serious cases Of the drink
ing habit the average duration of life IS
about fifteen years; the duration of life
among moderate periodical fnebriates
is about nineteen years. The capacity to
get drunk more than a thousand times
is rare. The maximum capacity for
any man during ten or fifteen years is
about 1000 gallons of whiskey.

Church Poor
Box'Is Found
Under House

There is one thief in town who
the police declare, deserves
hanging. Evidence of his mean
ness was secured this morning
by George Paris. Mr.. Paris
happened to look under his
house and to his surprise found
an odd looking object. On ex-
animation it proved to be a
church contribution box. He
took the thing to the police sta
ton where it was identified as
the contribution box that was
stolen from the Catholic Church
some months ago.
The box had evidently been
knocked against a stone in an
attempt to break it open.

STORE-BOX FARMERS.
They Are the Fellows who object
Against the Introduction of
Rural Mail Delivery.

The chairman of the committee on
post offices in congress declares, in an
interview, that free delivery of rural
mail is not favored everywhere and
cites as proof that some country peo-
pie somewhere are obiecting because
they are denied the privilege of their
store visits to get the mail and also
that some are not on the route and are
objecting. He concludes by saying he
will go to the bottom of the affair and
intimates that further appropriation
is not desirable. If the above is not
"cheap store" talk l never heard of it.
II the chairman had read the several
letters of the assistant postmaster
general he would have found all of
these objections stated and at the
same time have seen them completely
removed. Free delivery does not
throw any barrier in the way of the
''store meeting" it only disarms the
boys and men of the mail excuse"
From the above interview we would be
led to believe that the social and ed
ucational training of the rural peo-
pie depended upon these "store meet
society and the most successful? Nay,
verify. Here we invariably find the
Jack-knife farmer and those of his
class. The knowledge to be gained by
such association is n minus quantity
and the language used is not accord
ing to our best grammarians, while
the stories told are not worth the
time, and destroy the mind for better
things. If the "store meeting" is so
classical why not take our daughters
and wives along? But, alas, we cannot.
From this we rebel, for it is free deliv-
cry of another kind that makes it OBJ
noXious to our ladies. You all know
what l mean by this latter delivery
it usually consists of box two feet
square, filed with ashes or sawdust.
These "store meetings" instead of do
ing good actually result in a great
many wrongs. The wife is left at home
to carry the wood and water, the stock
oftentimes goes without feed, the girls
are obliged to go without the paper or
Magazine till the store meeting is over
and so it continues.
There is nothing that makes me lose
patience with my fellow farmers so
much as to see them idling their time
away on the store box-and complain
ing that farming does not pay. How
much better if this time were spent in
reading good books and good papers
and then instead of meeting in the
store to attend the grange where the
best thought and associates are found
and where refinement and culture
abound. Let us hear no more of turn
ing the wheels backward to accommo-
dose few back manifestations

CURE BY ELECTRICITY,
Eminent London Physician who Oh
tains Satisfactory Results by TesIa,s
Careful Experiments.

Careful Experiments.
Experiments are being made on n
most elaborate scale in London, with
a modification of Tcsla's high-fre-
quency electrical currents, in the
treatment of consumption. 1t is stat
ed that some remarkable results
have been achieved, says the London
correspondent of the New York Her.
aid.
These experiments, for the most
part, have been conducted by DR.. T.
j. Bohemian, an eminent West End
surgeon, in the course of his private
practice, but with the knowledge and
approval of leading consumption spe-
cialists. For various reasons, but
principally because of evil results
which might ensue if the system were
used by any but the most expert
enced medical men, with perfect
knowledge of the forces they were
dealing with, the experiments have
been quietly conducted. Applications
for details of methods used have not
been encouraged. DR.. Bohemian has
had fitted up most elaborate appar-
atus for the production of electricity
in the particular form in which it is
used, the net result of which is that
a current of $4,000 volts is produced,
of such high frequency and admins
tered in such small quantities that
the consumptive patient may receive
1t without the slightest injury. The
awe-inspiring force of this voltage
may be best appreciated when it is
remembered that only 500 volts are
employed by driving trains on rail-
way. Yet the patient is not conscious
of the enormous electrical pressure.
DR.. Bokenham's experience is that
in very bad cases of consumption the
cough has been greatly reduced,
night sweats have disappeared, the
appetite has improved and there has
been great gain in weight and gen.
eral health. SO that even if the con-
sumption bacilli have not been de-
stroyed, 1t is certain that their viru-
lence has been much decreased; that
they have been brought under con-
troll and that the patient has felt
cured. A doubt entertained by
phthisis specialists who do not ques-
ton this temporary improvement is
whether it is anything but mere ex-
hilaration. DR.. Bohemian, however,
has great faith in the future of the
system.

THE KANSAS PEOPLE ARE IN
LOVE WITH WESTERN
CANADA.
They Say the Land There Is the Fin
est on Earth.

A great number of delegates have
been influenced through the agency
of Mr.. J. S. Crawford, the Canadian
Government representative at Kan
sas City, to visit Western Canada, and
whether from Missouri or Kansas the
story is always the same-they are
pleased with the new country being
opened up. Isaac II. Levagood writes
from Didsbury, Alberta, as follows:
II met three delegates from Kan
sas yesterday at Didsbury, and took
them home with me and took
them out in the afternoon and
showed them some of the fin
est land that lays on top of
Gods green earth. They are more
than pleased with this country. They
stayed with me last night, this morn
ing 1 took them to Didsbury, and
they went on North. When they
come back they are coming to my
place and 1 am going to help them to
run some lines and they are going to
locate in sight of my house. There
have been over 1900 acres of land
changed hands here in our neighbor-
hood this spring. When / located here
last Fall was the furthest back of
any of the settlers, to-day 1 am in
the centre of the settlement. We
have 36 children. that are of school
age in our district, and we will have
our school district organized next
, month, when we will proceed to build
our school house. The longer we stay
here the better we like the country,
that is the way with everybody here,
they all seem to be satisfied and do
ing well. 1 have talked with a great
many men here and they told me that
they had less than $50 when they got
here, and to-day they have got 16o
acres of good land and five or six
hundred dollars worth of stock.
Crops are looking fine here, I think
this will be a good winter wheat
country. One of my neighbors has a
small piece and it looks fine"

Cottonseed OIL Industry.

According to the latest census re-
ports, there are 357 establishments in
the United States for the manufac-
ture of cottonseed oil, using 2,49o, 1886
tons of cottonseed, costing SOS, ,632,-
GIG, an average cost of $11.55 per ton.
The total value of the products from
this amount of seed used was $42 2,411,-
s35. The quantity crushed was SO per
cent. of that produced. The figures
given are for 1900. 1t is likely that
owing to the high price of cottonseed
and meal, the figures for this seasons
work will amount to an increase of
about IS per cent.
