PASSING OF THE SALOON.

FAOOilNG VT lFlE OALOOlNs
The bill to abolish the charter
of Camden passed the general as
sembly last Friday, and the bill to
incorporate under the Adams law
was recommended for passage day
before yesterday.
A glance backward shows that
when the Peeler bill became law
81 towns took advantage of it and
surrendered their charters and were
incorporated under its provisions.
Under the Adams law, which is the
Peeler law extended to towns Of
5000 inhabitants, 80 towns have
surrendered their charters and in
corporated under its provisions, so
that now the saloons can exist in
only two counties in West Tennes-
see-Madison and Shelby. Six
teen counties in West Tennessee
have taken advantage of the Adams
law, IL in East Tennessee and II
In Middle Tennessee. The saloon
has been driven out Of 81 counties
Of the State.
This is the direct work of the
anti-saloon league Of Tennessee,
aided by public sentiment and
other strong influences which were
brought to bear during the cam
paign preceding the last election
1t seems that a great moral wave
is sweeping the country, and from
every State comes word of the fight
made against the saloon.
Great reforms come slowly, it il
said. The tide is running high il
many other States besides Tennes
see. and while the means may be
different, the object is the same.

/, EASTER :
by W. n. HOOSER .

Easter from it's earliest day has
been styled Queen of Festivals"
Experimentation fromtheir
close connection with the Jewish
Church, naturally continue to OBJ
serve Jewish festivals Of which the
principal one was the feast Of the
passover. Egyptians Easter is the
perpetuation of this Jewish feast
of the passover, which ennobled 10y
the thought of Christ the true pas
chal sacrifcial lamb, the first fruits
of them that were dead became the
Christian Easter. Even at this
present time Easter is known to
the French as paques, to the Ital-
ians as pasqua, all of which words
mean passover.
For a long time a bitter contro-
versy ragged between christians of
Jewish and Gentle descent as to
when Easter should be observed.
Those Of Jewish descent insisted
that Lent should terminate at the
same time as the paschal feast of
the Jews to which it was analo-
gous; on the 14th day of the moon
and that Easter should Immediate
ly follow without regard to the day
Of the week. Upon the other side
they insisted that the first day of
our week should be kept as our
Lords day and that the preceding
Friday should be kept as the day
of His crucifxion.
1t was Emperor Constantine who
first made q motion to settle this
dispute, and the council agreed and
proclaimed this rule by which we
tell when Easter comes: Easter is
the Sunday which follows the 14th
day of the calendar moon which
falls upon or next after March %
Many customs still prevail as light
ing torches, coloring eggs, ETC., but

NOTABLE VISITOR
FROM AUSTRALIA

Honolulu has at present a visitor or
venerable years and interesting life
history. This is Squire NJ. C. Mott, of
Ararat Victoria, Australia, the title
here given him being his proper due
from the office of Justice of the Peace
which he holds at home. He has like
wise held the office of mayor Of his
town of which he has been resident
for forty-six years.
Squire Mott is the guest of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Mott, being the uncle of Mr.
Mott. who is one of Honolulus most
respected old residents. The Soul @
left New York in 1857 for Australia by
way of England, his mother country
When he came out to New York he
was a clockmaker and must have been
a good one, for he found employment
in the American metropolis as maker
of mathematical instruments. He was
also in the employ of the Novelty Iron
Works of New York. once a famous
establishment but now for some time
extinct.
Two wears ago Squire Mott lost his
wife by death after they had lived in
happy wedlock for more than 81 years.
1t was this bereavement that caused
him to think of travel. From here he
will go to New York thence perhaps on
to England. He is 80 years of age but
still hale and hearty. His brother, the
father of John Mott, died two years ago
in New York in the 93rd year of his
age and Squire Mott is the last sur
vivor of his generation of the Mott
family.

JUDGE
HOME AGAIN

Judge w. ]. Robinson returned from
his vacation in California by the Ala
media. He tells of a lady belonging to
the islands returning home in
the same steamer, who danced
a roundelay on deck when Diamond
Head came into view, and comments:
II would have danced for joy my
self, only that some people might think
it made me ridiculous. Even the sight
of the Molokai headlands made me feel
glad.
After all is said, California is no
place for one who has experienced the
climate of Hawaii. Why, in San Fran
cisco the fog did not lift until II o'clock
and it came back at $3.50. We had fog
with us on board the Alameda from
the time we left, IL o'clock Saturday
until 4:3O the next day."
Judge Robinson was oppressed by a
severe cold nearly all the time he was
away and comes home with a frog in
the throat. Still he looks well and fit
for the arduous work of clearing up
the -congested calendar of the
First Circuit Court, with which his
two colleagues and himself are cor.
fronted but under the favorable con-
dtons made by the amended Judiciary
Act.

DROWNING OF
A NATIVE BOY

A native boy about ten years old was
drowned in the Waikahalulu Falls in
the Nuuanu stream yesterday. His
name was Joe Lelehua and he is the
son of former member of the Police
force.
1t seems the boy, who lives at Iwi-
lei, had gone to the stream with a
number of other boys to battle. He
either fell in the water or got beyond
his depth and although he made a
struggle to get ashore the other boys,
to whom the little fellow was strang-
er, thought he was fooling and before
they realized what had happened he
was drowned. The police We're notified
Immediately and officers visited the
scene OF the accident and recovered
the body, which was removed to the
H. H. Williams undertaking parlors.
The jury which was the same as was
on the Walter Lee case brought in the
following verdict after viewing the
body and hearing evidence:
The said Joe Lelehua Jr., boy, cam
to his death in Honolulu, Island Of
Oahu, Territory of Hawaii, on the 21st
day Of August. A. d. 1908, by being
accidentally drowned in the "Waikaha.
lulu Falls" in said Honolulu.

SUGAR TRUST WINS.
Demurrers to Suit for Duties Over.
ruled

NEW YORK, Aug. s.-Judge Ray in
the United States Circuit Court handed
down two decisions yesterday over
ruling the demurrers taken by Collec-
tor George R. Bidwell in the suit of
the American Sugar Refining Company
to recover duties upon certain sugars
brought from Panay in the Philippines
and from Porto Rico. The refining
company sued for s5S,O27, with interest
from Oct. II, 1899. in the matter of the
Philippine sugar and for $21,716 in the
Porto Rico sugar, with interest from
April IS, 1899. The plaintiff says that
the amounts were illegally exacted. and
collected by duress of the goods. Col
lector Bidwell demurred on the ground,
in the Panay matter, that when the
sugar was shipped on March l, 1899.
the Philippine Islands were foreign
territory, as the treaty of Paris was
not ratified by the Spanish authorities
until March 10, and by the Washington
authorities until April IL.
Judge Ray held that: 1T would seem
that merchandise is to be deemed i'm
ported on the day when it arrives at
the port of entry and not before. The
demurrer of the defendant must be
overruled with costs" The same argu-
ments were advanced by the collector
and the plaintiff in the Porto Rican
sugar matter, and the collector was
again overruled, Judge Ray stating
that: This court is of the opinion
that the transportation of the goods
on the high seas was an act preliminary
to importation and not any part of the
importation. Had the vessel with its
cargo been lost at sea 1t is clear that
the sugars would not have been i'm
ported into the United States nor would
they have been imported had they
been thrown overheard during the
stress of weather"

Jue Gun with perjury and contended
that whether he was legally married
to Jung Hing or not he had proved an
unfit person to have charge of the chill
dren.
Mr.. Cathcart argued that the pre-
sumptions of law supported the prop
osition that Jue Gun and Jung Hing
were married. He requested the court,
If it found Jue Gun was unfit to take
custody of the children, to appoint
suitable guardian for them.
Judge Gear in deciding the case did
not consider it necessary to declare
whether the petitioner and respondent
were married. He expressed himself as
very 10th to recognize a marriage where
there had not been prior consent, and
in this case the evidence showed that
the woman did not give her consent.
1t was enough that there was con-
elusive evidence of the character OF
Jue Gun and his disreputable business
which made 1t impossible to consign
the babies to his care.
An order was made to bind over
the witnesses, including the mother.
to appear in the case against Jue Gun
before the grand jury.

NATIVE HAWAIIANS
AS LEGISLATORS

The Argonaut says: 1t is evident
that the native Hawaians have yet
much to learn before they can under
stand the ideas of government that
prevail in this country. Two legisia
lures have now convened there since
the islands became Territory of the
United States. The first legislature
did not understand the separation of
executive and legislative functions and
their exercise by different sets of Off
GERS They regarded the legislature
as the whole government, the executive
as subordinate employee. They
thought that because the native party
controlled the Legislature it had the
right to dictate who should hold the Of
fees, and the entire native population
was very much surprised when Presi-
dent Mckinley did not remove Gov
ernor Dole in response to the petition
of the legislature. In the first legisla-
ture, he tendency of the natives was
OF scured by the fact that intriguing
whites were trying to use them. In the
second this disturbing element was
practically eliminated. In the senate,
the majority was composed of white
men. and the senate made a credtable
record. In the house there were only
six or eight white men, in n member
ship of thirty. Almost without excep-
ton, the house tried to cut down the
salaries of Offices held by white men.
and to increase the salaries of offices
held by natives. The feeling Of dis
content at not having their own way
has gone even further. and members of
the native party are already discussing
the ACCESSIBILITY of memorializing Con-
gress to restore the former govern
ment The action of the native party
bids fair to divide parties more dis
tinctly on race lines.

THE WORD OF HONOUR.

The men who do as they say;
the things that prove to be what
at they were said to be,-how
cheering it is to come upon them.
We all hate to be deceived; es-
pecially when the deception is in
territorial. But all men are not
liars, even if David did say so in
his haste. If they were society
would be impossible. Everybody
knows that business is based
on credit, on faith. Millions are
bought and sold daily on nothing
more solid than the pledged pro-
misses of men,-not written, mere
ly verbal. The Stock Exchanges
are often called nests of gamblers,
yet nowhere is a promise held
in greater honour. Therefore
when we say that the tried and
effective modern remedy called
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
never deceives any who resort to
it in hope Of benefit and cure, we
may expect to be believed. For
this assurance is given on what it
has done in the past in countless
cases,-on it's record. 1t is only
recommended to accomplish what
it was made to accomplish. Its
action in Chlorosis, Anemia, La
Grippe, General Debility, Throat
and Lung Troubles, Blood I'm
purities, etc. is convincing. 1t is
palatable as honey and contains
the nutritive and curative pro-
perties of Pure Cod Liver Oil,
extracted by us from fresh cod
livers, combined with the Com
pound Syrup of Hypophosphites
and the Extracts of Malt and
Wild Cherry. DR.. Austin d. Ir-
vine, of Canada, says: 81 have
used it in cases where cod liver
oil was indicated but could not
be taken by the patient, and the
results following were very graft
flying" 1t is effective from the
first dose and agrees with the
most sensitive and nervous stom-
achs. 1t cannot deceive or disap-
point you, and comes to the res
cue of those who have received
no benefit from any other treat
ment. 1t stands for the medical
triumphs of the age. At chemists.
