MOSQUITO NURSERIES.

In his search for mountaineering
places Inspector Larnach was attract
ed to cesspools by the presence OF
dragon flies about the vents. These
winged marauders were waiting for
mosquitoes. Some of the cesspools
were opened and We're found to be in
tested by the wigglers from which
mosquitoes grow. 1t may be deemed
probable that thirty per cent OF the
mosquitoes found in the city come
from such places.
The remedy is simple. A bottle Of
oil poured into the cesspool will kill
the larvae already there and a strip
of wire gauze will prevent the entrance
of adult mosquitoes. If everybody
would treat their cesspools in this way
there would be another visible de-
crease in the sum of insect annoyance.
Where tanks are used, the utmost
care should be taken to close them in.
Mosquitoes infest tanks and breed
there in swarrus.
Householders should not forget that
the little basins of water in which the
legs OF tables and food-safes repose,
as a protection from ants, also harbor
mosquitoes. A little oil in these will
serve an excellent purpose.
All in all a remedy for the mosquito
pest is at hand but it's success rests
upon the vigilance and zeal of house
holders.

Former residents of San Francisco
will be interested to hear of the death
of VIM. Pitt Morehouse, up to about
four years ago the best known police
officer of that city. For twenty-five
years Mr.. Morehouse did duty at the
corner of Kearney and Suffer streets
where he saw that women and children
crossed that busy thoroughfare un-
harmed. White-haired and bearded
everyone the old policeman was one of
the landmarks of the coast metropolis.
He died suddenly at his home on Sac
ramento street of heart failure.

It is a matter of doubt whether the
Elkins referred to in a cablegram from
Philadelphia as having died is the
Senator or the local railroad man OF
that name. The cable message read
Elkins dead" 1t was assumed that
the only Elkins in the country whose
eminence was such as to justify his
mention in a cablegram without mi
tials. was the one meant. But recent
coast files stated that a Philadelphia
Elkins who is heavily interested ir
street railways was critically i'll. Very
likely he is the man who died.

The Sunday Advertiser prints more
copies than any other paper in Hawaii.
Including the Daily Advertiser, and the
demand has increased so much of late
that the generous limit of production
established couple of months ago,
has been met and passed, On Sun
day last the issue was exhausted save
for dozen copies brought back at the
close of sales by unenterprising news
boys. Very many people who depend
on street or Office sales were diSap-
pointed about getting a paper. Next
Sunday three hundred extras will be
printed and these unless a TRANSPORT
should happen in during the early fore
noon, should be ample to meet the
popular demand.

Old as the pyramids

And as little changed by the ages,
is Scrofula, than which no disease,
save Consumption, is responsible
for a larger mortality, and Con-
sumption is its outgrowth.
1t affects the glands, the mucous
membranes, tissues and bones;
causes punches in the neck, ca
tarrhal troubles, ricketts,, infamed
eyelids, sore ears, cutaneous erup-
tons, etc.
"I suffered from scrofula, the disease af-
fecting the glands Of my neck. did every
thing was told to do to eradicate it, but
without success. I then began taking
Hoods Sarsaparilia, and the swelling in my
neck entirely disappeared and my skin re-
sumed smooth, healthy appearance. The
cure was complete.n Miss ANITA MITCHELL.

Woman suffrage does not exist in
Hawaii but the power of women at the
polls and in political campaigns is re-
markable. The manifestation is con-
fined, however, to women of native
blood. They are eager politicians,
some of them even going on the stump,
and all of them exercise a peculiar in
f1uence upon their husbands, brothers
and male friends. So it is not a trivial
circumstance that Mrs. Wilcox--a more
potent politician in many ways than
was her late husband-proposes to or
ganize the Hawaiian women into a
Home Rule reinforcement, which shall
move en- masse. If she succeeds in
doing this Mrs. Wilcox will be a power
to reckon with.

propose an amendment to the consti-
tuition limiting their power to per
cent. of their valuation. That amend
ment was submitted to the people and
adopted. At that time the rate of in
terest which municipalities were oblig-
ed to pay We're on an average over 6
per cent. in this State. so that the peo-
pie at that time thought that the debt
should not exceed 5 per cent. We have
progressed in this State in many ways.
The people are demanding better
school houses in which their scholars
ing better roads. they are demanding
better and more expensive bridges and
public buildings.
Now, Mr.. Speaker. the rates Of inter-
est at which towns can borrow money
on is from 81 to 3l2 per cent, and If
we pass this amendment and it is sub
mitted to the people and they adopt it.
and the towns should vote to hire mon
ey for these municipal purposes, Their
the burden of maintaining that debt
would not exceed the burden that was
imposed npon towns 25 years ago when
they had to pay 6 per cent. 1t seems to
me that it comes with i'll grace from
the gentleman from Auburn (Mr.
Oakes) to tell us what the public pol
icy should be in regard to municipal
Indebtedness. If he will look to his own
city of Auburn he will find there that
they have a municipal indebtedness,
directly and indirectly. of nearly 10 per
cent. of thei. valuation. They We're up
to their limit, and some II years ago
they came over here With a bill which
| think was drawn in the office of the
gentleman from Auburn with his in
genuty and the ingenuity of his ASSOC
ciate- to get around the provisions of
the constitution and allow that city to
go in debt. They have a valuation
there of about seven millions, and their
Indebtedness is about $6oo,0G0 Now.
do not think that the city of Auburn
| is bankrupt. | think il is wise for the
Legislature to give them that legisla-
ton to get around the provisions of the
| constitution: but after he has well tax
en- care of his constituents l think it is
with i'll grace in him to come UP here
and oppose this measure. Take the
city of Lewiston. They had some ex-
traordnaiy expenditures in extending
| their water works and they were up to
| the limit. What did they do to get
around the provisions of the constitu-
| ton They made an assessment Of
taxes A ands y, sand the statute says
and the colisu sutfon says that they can
| borrow money beyond the tax shat is
| levied. hut they made it with the dis
| tinct understanding that that tax
should he abated. In my own city of
Portland we are up to- the limit. but We
want To progress we want to build
more and better bridges. We lPse one

| will cost in the neighborhood of $780,
600. We do not feel that we should
build that and pay for it all in one
year. Now, is ii a fair proposition that

legislation that we should pass this bill
and submit it to the people. The peo-
pie can be trusted. and it this is a poor
amendment they will vote 1t down and
all we ask is that the people of the
State Of Maine shall have. the right to
say whether they can amend this or
not. '-'

# it is a proper thing that the con

the question is to be considered on its

simply to consider whether on the
whole this is wise general policy for
the State to pursue. If it is, I want to
