UP TO THE
TELEPHONE
COMPANY

Honolulu, T. H, Dec. 6, 1902
Editor Advertiser In conjunction
with many other citizens, 1 am glad to
sec you take UP the question of the Tel
ephone company not so much from the
fact that my own telephone has been
out of use, but from the worry I am
under in other cases where people are
absolutely dependent upon them.
The idea seems to prevail that if the
community can only get out of the
clutches of this company and into the
hands of another, the result is bound
to be satisfactory. But why not con-
slider a cooperative telephone system,
such as | understand the people of
In that community they were finally
aroused to united action, and the Tele-
phone company, in order to prevent the
movement gaining headway, finally Of
fered to put new instruments, rent free,
for three years. in order to crush their
infant rival. Local patriotism, how
ever, looked beyond the present, and
the free telephones Were declined. The
cooperative company soon gained
control of the situation. No one in
Grand Rapids is allowed to buy more
than one share of stock for each iDstru-
ment actually used, and thus the con-.
troll can never be taken away from the
patrons; and it is claimed that the
charge per month for the telephones,
after offset by dividends, now amounts
to twenty-five cents for residences and
$3.50 for business places.
Before public opinion condemnss the
present company, they should be given
an opportunity to explain, if possible,
Why the present system is so poor.
There are always two sides to every
question, but l firmly believe the pa.
irons of the telephone system are en-
titled to know why it is so crippled.
Very sincerely yours,

THE PLUMBER OF ESTATES
BY JUDICIAL PROCESS

the community, as well as to the
widows, these and all similar cases
should be thoroughly looked into and
the disgrace removed from the inno-
cent and the wrong doing punished if
such it is proved to be. While these
outrages We're confined and fostered
only in the minds of the widows and
the perpetrators of the deeds, the COM
munity was not responsible, but now
the complaint is public property and
all are responsible in the sight of
heaven.
The regrettable facts that justified
the Governor in calling the Senate to-
gether to look after the shortcomings
of some of our Territorial officials will
undoubtedly have a good effect on fu-
ture officials, but the past losses aris-
ing from official defaults is only a few
cents per capita of our taxpayers, while
this other more serious matter, if true,
amounts to toythousands of dollars loss to
each widow with their fatherless chill
dren.
The first being required TO protect the
rights of the people, what attention
should this later receive, so as to de-
fend the innocent, and force a just set
tlemen of past offences and check such
dishonest acts in future?
BY the last steamer from Honolulu
a story reached US, that widow NJ. re-
siding in the suburbs of Honolulu,
handed to a lawyer, in whom she had
much confidence, $4,000 to buy and pay
for her a certain piece Of land. He
bought the land but had the deed made
in his own name. The widow says she
has not yet had her money returned.
nor the deed 10 the land. If these
outrageous proceedings are not check
ed. heaven only knows where we will
bring up in a few years.

Editor Advertiser: The past few days
your esteemed paper mas brought us
the sorrowful news that two widows
and others who had better be widows
are clamoring for justice, as they claim
they are being robbed through the as
sistance or connivance O, a judge and
no notice is taken of their complaints
and their being plundered is continued.
one claims of being robbed of s225O and
the other of $4,000 and this outrage is
claimed to have been going on for
years.
What you say respecting it in your
issue of the 18th of last month, is so
true it should awaken feeling OF in
dignation and a determination in the
breasts of the community TO look into
the matter. If one is robbed on the
highway and the robber named,
policeman goes for the robber before
breakfast and the judge fines or nm
prisons him, perhaps both.
Yes, know the law was trampled on
in this case and in the other the rob-
bing was done according to the law as
interpreted by the judge and those com
hitting the deed. These widows being
ignorant of the law may think they
have been wronged when they have
been only kindly dealt with, but such
is no excuse for not examining as to
where the fault hay.
In justice to the judge named and to
the one charged with the crime and TO

Right Rev. Gulstan F. Ropert, Bish-
op of Panopolis and ecclesiastical head
of the Roman Catholic Mission in the
Hawaiian Islands, lies critically i'll at
Olaa, Hawaii. DR.. Nicholas Russell is
in attendance. The venerable divine,
according to news which reached the
on Saturday, was sinking
rapidly, his recuperatiye powers being
slight, but as no message by wireless
was received here yesterday, the clergy
are hoping that something will inter
vene to save his life.
Bishop Ropert left for Hilo about
three weeks ago, accompanied by a
priest recently arrived from Germany

his purpose to return to Honolulu last
week, but, owing to illness, he was
prevented from doing so, and since then
the Bishop has been under constant
medical care.
Since the Bishops return from his
trip to California nearly a year ago, he
has not been in the best of health
and his devoted clergy have been re-
gardful of him in every way, lessening
his labors whenever possible. 1t is
said that he has cancer of the stomach
and this has brought on complication
which has greatly weakened his sys-

Bishop Ropert has been in office

who held the office for long term Of
years, Bishop Ropert then being on

ISAAC NOAR
BEATEN YET
SMILES

Bright and smiling as ever, the vet
eran Isaac Noar turned up in the Ad-
vertiser Office yesterday to thank this
paper and all his other friends for their
enthusiastic support of his candidacy
for Treasurer. Noar was not nominat-
ed but that made no difference; there
are plenty of chances not touched yet
and the name of Noar will yet appear in
the archives of fame. 'I want you to
print what said TO the Governor" he
remarked, ,whereupon he handed in a
manuscript of which the following is a
free translation:
After my application and recon-
mended myself to the Governor on my
merits 1 revealed before him the origin
of my making up my mind to settle in
Honolulu. 1t begins from the time
when President Harrison concluded a
treaty with the Provisional Govern
ment of Hawaii and Minister Thurston
was very much interested to see the
treaty pass. But alas, Harrison was
The first step he withdrawed the treaty
and send his special agent, Paramunt
Bloont, a Confedered Brigadier with
instruction to hoist down the American
flag and put up the Queen on her
throne, but it was not so easy as he
thought of; then he send Minister Willis
and also a letter addressed to President
Dole, my great and good friend, advis-
ing him to step down and out and quiet
ly and pisebly except the suvveraity of
the queen, and to be beheaded together
with all who took part in his adminis-
tration. But Minister Thurston was
not found dreaming and spread the ter
rible news like f1ashlight all over the
L. S. and his secret, diabolical scheme
was condemned all over the U. S.
Then he took extreme measures to
send the revenue cutter Corbin to ac-
complish his satanic enterprises by force
of the U. S. arms, then the S0,000000
population was in a volcano against
Cleveland and his administration and
lwe. in New York called mass meetings
which I took great pains to conduct and
the speakers was Choat, today Ameri-
can Ambassador, and Root, Secretary
many other prominent citizens. We
passed resolutions condemning CleVe-
land and Secretary Gresham for their
action and we also demanded his i'm
peachment by violating the constitution
to declare war in a friendly nation in
peace with us without the knowledge
supported and Encouraged Minister
Thurston in public and in letter tel
ling him to stand up against the devils
and we are for you assured him that
Cleveland's administration is a coun-
terfeit and disgrace; it must die away
in the end of this term and by all the
combination of all our efforts we forced
him to abandon his policy. But he
favored to promote a revolution in this
country to gain his end after all but
thanks to the Lord he don't sleep and
slumber but has watched over you dur
ing period Of forty-eight months until
we elected Mckinley president.
And during all this dramatic period
which 1 took so much interest in the
success of the islands and their people
the impression went on me to settle
here for the balance of my life.

Saved OhiId'S Life

MARYSVILLE, Cal, Oct. l4.-The
hero of the FIRE brigade along the border
between Yuba and Butte counties is a
Great Dane, that fought his way through
the flames bearing in his jaws the liv-
ing body Of three-year-o Florence
Rogers.
The parents of the child, when the
alarm of fire was given, hastened to as
sist the neighbors, leaving little Flor.
ence playing on the kitchen floor with
Bruno. When the wind shifted Rogers
and his wife rushed for their home, but
when they reached the clearing it was
to see the honse in blaze. Rogers tried
to get to the house. but was restraint d
by his companions. Just then there
was crash above the crackle of the
flames. Bruno burst through the kitch
en- window with the child, her garments
knotted in his teeth. The baby clothes
gave way as the dog landed. but in an
instant he had her aga n in grip and
re ached safety.
The child's face and hands were pain
fully cut and burned, but she will soon
recover.
