NEW POLISHING WHEEL.

Z. j. Deavitt has been notified that
the patent office in Washington, ID. O.,
has granted patent lasting seventeen
years, to Roswell Q. George of Barre
on an improved stone polishing
wheel. The patent was applied for
November 8, 1902, and was granted
August z, 1903. Mr.. George was en-
ployed at the machine shop of Smith,
Whitcomb 81 Cook, and he has made
them the assignees So that the patent
will appear in their name.
The wheel is great improvement
on those now in use in most of the
stone sheds in this city and Barre as
it is possible to polish to the edge
joint of stone with it, whereas most
of the wheels polish only within
few inches of the edge joint or corner
of q stone. Another advantage derived
from the wheel is that the polishing
supplies, or iron can be thrown on the
top of the wheel while in motion as it
is formed of two open spirals running
in opposite directions and meeting in
the center, fastened only by bar over
the spirals at the diameter The
wheels now in use are made solid with
the spiral shaped affair, inaccessible
from the top of the wheel. the iron
being placed on the stone before the
wheel is placed on the work. Still
another important improvement is the
fact that the wheel in motion does not
have tendency to throw the polish.
ing mixture away from the wheel as
the old ones do, this being due to the
arrangement of the spirals The latest
mentioned function is very important
in that it is a matter of economy to
the polisher as the ingredints of pol
ishing mixtures are very expensive.
Mr.. George is to be congratulated on
his invention which, simple though it
is, has three distinct improvements in
manipulation over the old wheels.

ARTHUR',S BIRTHPLACE.

In communication to the Messen-
ger, Joseph Northrop of ST. Adams
writes of Chester A. Arthur, and as
the dedication of the monument to
his memory in Fairfield, which occurs
on Thursday OF this week, is reviving
interest in the former President por-
ton of the article is reproduced here.
Says the writer:
GO find that Elder William Arthur,
his father, was born in the county of
Antrim, Ireland. He emigrated to
this country at the age of eighteen.
He was pastor of the Calvary Baptist
church. New York city, from 1855 to
1868. He died at Newtonville, near
Albany, N. Y, October 81, 1875.
1.-The house where President Arthur
was born has long since disappeared
1t was built by bees SO called of the
Pensioners. Mrs. Sturtevant, mother
OF Alderman Sturtevant, who was a
neighbor of the Arthurs and remem-
bered them we'll, related this incident
many times to her friends: When the
house or the body of it was nearly
completed, Luther Abel, the genial,
comical, bachelor brother OF DR..
Chester, Joshua, and Calvin Abel.
perched himself upon some part of the
house, and gave this toast. 1t is said
he had bottle of genuine New Eng
land in his hand:
1t is only shell
1t looks like He'll
It's made Of crooked wood,
If it looked ten times as bad
The Baptists would call it good. -

The with which the act signed by the executive kept
by Secretary Hawes will presented Of the
Senate In approving the the Governor special message points
ed He asks immediate" legislation and this is taken that
through bill introduced this date within the limit sixty days
The Governors message is as follows:
Message the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii a
proved the County Bill providing for the organization and
counties and districts and the management and control of
lie works and public institutions therein"
There are however some features of the law which are in my opinion
Objectionable should
ing of such law by the public and its successful application the OBJ
intended and for removing far possible all legal conpica
ons from the administration of public affairs under its provisions be
removed by amendments
These objections are as follows:

Territorial Government to the Counties their organization will be

GOT
COLD FEET
WOULD HAVL CHEERED SIGNING
OF COUNTY BILL BUT ALLOWED
COURAGE TO OOzE AWAY.

The Senate nearly forgot its dignity
this morning. 1t was in the last few
minutes of the morning session and had
Senator Kalauokalani not gotten cold
feet there would have been an official
cheer by the members of the Upper
House. The occasion was the receipt
of the news that the Governor had sign
ed the County Bill.
1t was exactly six minutes to u when
the communication from Secretary Car
ter announcing that the County Bill
had been signed today, was received
and read. Every body expected his
neighbor to spring up and make some
demonstration of satisfaction over the
receipt of the news. No body moved a
general round of dry smiles being the
extent of the demonstration.
Finally Senator Kalauokalani thought
that the Senate was too dignified alto
gether, so he arose and moved that
the Senate give three cheers over the
signing of the County bill
We'll Senator" promptly replied Pre-
sident Crabbe "the rules are suspended
and you can give three cheers, if you
wish"
Every body turned and watched the
Home Rule leader, expecting to hear
him burst forth into a wierd combina-
tloh OF all the cOlege yellS or autumn
time but for once, the senator was nom
plussed. What. humph 49," he stam-
mered and then sat down amid the
laughter of the Senate which immedia-
tely took recess on motion of Senator
G. Brown.
After the close of the session, Senator
Dickey led a chorus of fine lady
like cheers, but no rafters rung, no
walls echoed with the happy plaudits of
the lawmakers. Senator Kalauoka-
lani's attack of CONCEALED extremities
had become epidemic and frozen the
pipes of the rest of the crowd and only
some catarrhal yels at best, could be

OPIUM BILL
KILLED
SENATE PUTS QUIETUs ON MEA-
SURE TODAY BY INDEFINITELY
POSTPONING IT.

Nida's opium bill was laid on the Sem
ate shelf this morning The measure
was up on third reading. There was
little attempt made to amend the va
rious sections but. after the bill had
been read. Senator Dickey arose and
spoke in opposition to it,
This bill should not become a law"
he said, Every man who secures one
of these licenses will find it to his in
terest to increase the consumption of
opium. 1t would be to his interest to
give opium away. This is a very bad
law. 1t will have the effect of working
great harm to the Hawaiians and other
classes as we'll l move for indefinite
postponement."
Senator Kalauokalani seconded the
motion. THE passage Of this bill" de-
clared the speaker will be an incentive
to the Hawaiians to use opium In
1896, l think it was, a bill similar in
character to this one, was introduced
in the legislature but through the work
OF number of members, it was defeat
ed. Now another attempt is made to
have such a law passed. If this law
passes, the day will come when all Ha-
waiians will be users of opium"
Senator Achi spoke in favor of the
bill. He urged that as people were
using opium now, it was better to eff
feet some control over the use and sale
of the drug as was attempted by the
House bill
Senator Dickey's motion prevailed
however, only two votes being cast
against it.

FIGHT OVER
CHINESE FUND
SENATE REJECTED HOUSE BILL
TO MAKE CHINESE FUND A GOV
ERNMENT REALIZATION.

Every time the Chinese Fund is mem
toned in the Senate, 1t seems as If there
must be some "scrapping." This MORN
ing the 'Hoodoo" fund was up again on
the consideration of the House bill
which provides for the payment of the
Chinese fund to the various owners who
may appear but to declare the fund a
government realization.
Senator c. Brown opposed this bill.
He said that the Chinese Fund did not
belong to the Territory at all but to
either the Chinese owners or else the
United States. The House bill was
not in accordance with the Organic act.
The proper disposition of the fund was
to place 1t in the hands Of some bank
as trustee as the Senate bill had done.
He wanted the bill rejected
Senator McCandless spoke in opposi-
tion to this motion He wanted to know
what would be the result If there were
such a trustee and the United States
made a demand on the Territory for
the funds.
Senator Brown replied that the de-
mand could be made on the trustee and
If necessary, a suit to force the pay
ment would be brought pretty quick in
the United States court. The speaker
said that he was surprised the United
States had not before demanded this
money. On the motion to reject, the
vote stood to the following voting to
reject Senators c. Brown, j. T. Brown,
Kaiue, Kalamokalani, Woods, Naka-
paahu, Kaohi and Isenberg.
1t is more than probable however that
the matter will be reconsidred SEN
ator Isenberg stated that he had voted
for the motion in order to move for
reconsideration.
