Miss Burbank Resigns to Go Back East That
She May See Her Old
Friends.

Miss Mary A. Burbank, who for the
past twelve years has been the libra
rian at the Honolulu Public library,
will retire from that position in the
coming summer, and soon after leave
for her former home in the East. Miss
bank has been in Hawaii for nearly
her entire life and her withdrawal is
due entirely to her wish to once more
see her old friends and members of her
family in the way-down East.
The board of trustees of the library
have chosen as the successor of Miss
Burbank. Miss Helen Hillebrand, now
of New York, who is one of the assist
ant librarians of the New York public
library. There may be some delay in
Miss Hillebrand getting here, but it
is now thought that she will assume
her duties on the first of June There
were no other applications of moment
before the board, and the choice of the
succeeding librarian was due to the
recommendations which have been re-
ceived from the metropolis.

Kepoikai Makes a
Report to
Dole.
Recommends License
and Revenue
Laws.
Treasurer Tells How Much Money
Was Spent and How Much
Was Collected.

Treasurer A. N Kepoikai has pre-
scented his annual report to Governor
Dole together with the recommends
tons he desires to be made to the
Legislature.
The treasurer's report deals almost
exclusively with statistics and shows
the amount of money collected and ex-
pended during the past two years, and
up to the first day of January, 1903.
Treasurer Kepoikai asks that the
legislature make an appropriation to
reimburse the Chinese fund for the
money taken by Treasure Wright.
In his report he says: 81 further
recommend the reimbursement of the
amount of $17,949.91 due the Chinese
fund, being the amount of my prede-
| cessor's 1. o. US" This is the only
reference in the report to Wright's en-
beZZlement.
Mr.. Kepoikai reports the receipts
from July LIST, 1901 to June 80, 1902 as
$2,473,172; from which must be de-
Quoted special road tax and land sales,
S102,389 leaving the total receipts,
81, $40, 1888; from this is deducted the
warrants paid, $2,159,6 $40; still out
standing June 80, 1927, 427; showing an
increase of expenditure OF $S6,290 over
the actual receipts of the government
for one year.
Because of this increase the treasurer
was compelled to borrow funds When
he took Office there were 1892, 1906
on hand which is the only available
cash and is not enough to meet the
demand. A recommendation is made
that the Legislature be appealed to to
enact revenue laws and to reenact the
existing license law
further recommendation is made
for an appropriation to meet the run
ming expenses of the tax bureau to
June Both of this year and also of the
tax appeal courts.
Treasurer Kepoikai recommends a |
total appropriation of $456,399 for his |
department, to be divided as follows:
Expenses treasury, including
Salaries ..............$ $4,000 |
Tax bureau go. ......... 100000
Bureau of Conveyance 49,. 27,840 /
Incidentals .244 700 |
This last amount includes the ST.
$40 taken by Treasurer Wright, and
also the sum of 100000 which is asked
for the payment of an installment on
the Territory's debt.
The report shows also the total
amount collected in taxes for the six
months ending December Both This
amounted to 1880, III So and was di-
vided as follows: Oahu, 1871, 907.S0;
Maui, Molokai and Lanai, $3.50, S51.82;
Hawaii, 1921 ,406.21; Kauai and Niihau,
$135, 94550.
The total income tax collected was
s1S5, 1858, of which Oahu paid almost
all of it. Oahu paid s166,006.27; Ha-
wall, $9.492; Maui, Molokai and Lanai,
3,72S.1S; and Kauai and Niihau,
s., 9O789. /.

HOW TO STOP A COUGH.

A simple but effective remedy is the
following:
Breathing through the nostrils, inha'e
a full breath as slowly as is possible
without causing fatigue. Expel the
breath in the same manner, and repeat
the operation ten times. This will stop
the coughing for about a quarter of
an hour. Take a dose of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy during this lull
and the medicine will have a better
opportunity to act and will speedily
effect a complete cure. 1t always cures
and cures quickly. Benson, Smith& Co.,
Ltd, wholesale agents, sell 1t.

Supt. Cooper Asks
for More
Money.
1t Is Due on HaCkfeld
Wharf Built on
Credit.
Appropriations Asked Also for
hamakua Fire Fight and for
Shortage in Office.

The legislature will be asked to ap-
! propriate the sum of $162, 00S.S2 which
is the aggregate amount of unpaid bills
and necessary appropriations made by
the Public Works Department during
the past two years. Nearly all OF
this amount was expended by Supt.
Boyd for public works which were ur-
gently required but for which no APP
preparation had been made by the leg
islature. Only few thousand dollars
are actually unpaid bills for the ex-
penses of the Department.
Supt. Cooper yesterday sent to Gov
ernor Dole a supplementary report of
his recommendations asking for an adj
ditional appropriation from the leg
islature of $162,00S.S2.
OF this amount $2337.S5 becomes nee
essary to make up the shortage which
occurred during the previous admins
tration of the Office and by reason of
which various amounts due could not
be paid.
The largest item is for the sum of
sos, 79497 due to Hackfeld & Co., for
the building of the Hackfeld wharf. To
this must be added the further sum of
POsASo-AO QuC d. Cols lhS NAOAO Va
which the legislature will be asked to
appropriate. This is the amount spent
in the construction of the Hackfeld
wharf for which the firm of Hackfeld
& Co., agreed to advance the neces-
sary money, and to trust to the legisla-
ture to reimburse them.
There is also another item of $S752
expended in the attempt to extinguish
the Hamakua forest fires. This mon
ey was spent by the government to aid
the residents of the district in control
ling the forest fires of over year ago,
which threatened to sweep away the
whole of the Hamakua district.
There is also an expenditure of
$4,000 for the construction of a road
in Piihonua, Hawaii. This sum is ow-
ing to the Hawaii Mill Co.
Supt. Cooper also sent an additional
report of estimates for public works
during the coming biennial period, for
the districts whose road boards had
not reported in time for the regular re-
port.
For the current expense fund an APP
is asked for roads and
bridges in the following amounts:

THE WORLD MUCH BETTER.
A. Cheerful Estimate Of the Year Tha,
Is About to Close.
From the Worlds Work.

From the W ofl0' . WOfk
Az the end of the year draws nigh we
may congratulate ourselves that 1t win
leave the world in much better plight than
1t found 1t. When 1t began there was war
in South Africa and there were troublesome
hostilities in the Philippines. Now peace
Is broken. If broken at all, only by the I'M
rest in Venezuela and Colombia and In
Hayti that follows their revolutions. and
In Africa. where the Mad Mullah' has at
tackled the British And not only Is the
world lat peace, but the great nations are
more securely linked together. perhaps.
than they ever were before. New forces
for peace are at work, especially two Of
the strongest possible world influences: an
organized and closely knit commerce. which
none can afford to disturb for fear OF
lasting loss OF trade. and in particular
the overwhelming commercial power Of the
United States. which would gain still
surer lead by the suspension Of industrial
activity in any important country. The
little periodical adjustments Of power and
of privilege that the nations used to make
by special treaties were crude and weak
guarantees of peace in comparison with
the compelling power of modern commerce
and all that 1t implies. The most recent
wars were really only frontier wars.
Men without historical knowledge easily
believe that their own is new era
knowledge now see International conditions
that are radically different and radically
better for peace than any Of the battered
centuries behind US knew. The interfering
of the dominant race Of men by free in
situations to free opportunity on the most
fruitful continent. and the Industrial rise
Of the republic, fortifying its political
power. have put all nations In a new rela-
ton to one another and In a new relation
to civilization. This revolutionary fact has
become palmer this year than 1t ever was
before. It's far reaching significance we do
not yet see: but 1t looks like a great force
that will work for the steadying of gov
ernments and for the same direction Of en-
deavor for centuries to come For 1t Is the
natural result Of a great law OF human de-
velopment and not advantage won by
the strength of armies or by the skill of
diplomatists or by any other power that may
change with a change of rulers and of gen.
erations. The Industrial man becomes
stronger, the political man weaker; and
economic force Is beginning to rule the
world as military force once ruled it.
