Don't Hire Drunkards.

Every wise young man ought to
have some thought on the future. No
one knows what may be the tempta-
ton to fall q victim to strong drink ;
and once fallen he has slim chance for
doing much in the world. It is COM
ing to pass that great concerns in the
business world will not employ men
who drink. No railroad company
viii keep in its employ a man who
habitually drinks.
Marshall Field & Co., of Chicago, ls
one of the largest dry goods firms in
the world. The following letter to DR..
Berry, editor of the Epworth Herald,
indicates the position of that firm with
reference to the employment of those
who drink intoxicants:
Dear Dr. Berry Answering your
letter OF January 3, we will say that We
will not, to our knowledge, place a
young man who drinks in our business
and, even though a man should apply
tor position whose ability and other
allround qualifications would seem to
fit him for the position, it we knew OF
discovered that he was drinking man
we should decline to consider his ap.
pIication. Any man In our employ
who acquires the habit OF drink, even
though moderately, Is to certain ex'
tent marked down in our estimation
| and unless we can remove from him
this serious fault, and show him hii
error, we feel compelled to do without
his service.
Yours respectfully,
| MARSHALL FIELD 4 Go.

Trees Along Roads.

1uu1du0 040&S SGuSAuSAsh
The state forestry department OF
New York is making q special effort to
induce the planting OF trees along
country roads and in villages. 1t
urges that these are desirable both for
their products and for shade to the
road. There is no good ground for the
objection made in certain localities to
placing trees along = public road, be-
cause their shade would tend to make
it wet and muddy. II such conditions
exist, the fault is In the road and not
in the trees there arc some very mud
dy highways along which nothing has
been planted. Although row of trees
may retard somewhat ~ evsporaticn
of moisture at the surface of the road
bed, At the same time they drain
its foundation by the rapid absorption
of water through their roots. When
the roadbed is properly constructed,
drained and ditched the trees will dc
no harm on the contrary, they will
furnish grateful shade to the traveller
and prevent dust without creating
mud.
As to the trees most desirable, Mr..
Fox, the State forester, declares that
nothing has been found that will equal
the American elm and hard maple fer
wide roads and double rows. The elms
should be at least seventy feet apart. al
they often attain spread of 100 feet,
and the trees should not be allowed to
crowd or interfere with each-other un-
til they assume their full size and nat
ural shape. Transplanted or second
growth hard NAPLES along a country
road attain a large size and beautiful
appearance, which require fifty foot
space. Other species-oaks, basswood
white ash, locust, WILLOW, horse chest
nut, black cherry, button-ball, beach
and the two soft naples can be used
with good results to obt3in variety. Il
is also suggested that BY planting the
scarlet oak, red maple and pepperidg &c
the brilliancy Of the autumn coloring
may be enhanced by the bright redi
displayed by the leaves OF these species
The birches, and especially the yellow
birch, are not desirable for streets OF
roadside use as they ssasme different
form when grown IN the open insteae
of the forest, the branches growing
lower down and the trunk failing tt
reach its usual height, although it may
never attain large diameter. Nut
bearing trees-the chestnut, butter
nut and the hickories-are also avail
able for highway planting. They ar
large, handsome trees, and although
they may suffer from the depredation'
of boys in quest of nuts, they have pc
culiarlties of limbs which are pleasing
In addition to the reasons for plant
ing trees along roads there are addi
tional ones tor planting them in town
and villages, where there are 80 man.
more people to get the benefit of th'
shade. The temperature is much low
or, and as the pavements are not ex
posed to the glare OF the sun, there i
less reflected heat.

PRECAUTIONS WITH OIL.

SANTA BARBARA, December 20.-
The large full-rgged ship Marion Chill
colt is delayed at the Alcatraz landing
oilloading wharf and will probably re-
main till after Christmas.
The vessel made port a week or more
ago to take a cargo of $1,000 barrels of
Los Alamos Valley oil to Honolulu, and
had loaded a part of the cargo when,
following the recent oil explosion at
San Francisco, a new ordinance went
into effect prohibiting ships from car
rying oil of as high grade as COM
poses this cargo. The oil was there
fore unloaded and win be reshipped
after it has been mixed with lower
grade oil.
The Chilcott belongs to the Matson
company. This company, through the
Pacific Oil and Development Company,
will gain control of the Western Union
Oil Company's wells in Los Alamos and
shipments to Honolulu win continue.

'THE Bride MISS
MILDRED
DURPHY
She Came on the City Of Peking
And the Wedding Took
Place Last Evening at Resi-
Of George A, Davis,

Circuit Judge Gear was married last
night, the bride being Miss Mildred H.
Durphy, of San Francisco, who came
here on the steamship City of Peking
Saturday. The judge kept his engage
ment a secret except from a few of his
friends, and the news of the coming
wedding did not leak out.
The wedding took place at the resi-
dence of ex-Judge George A. Davis, on
Kewalo street. and was a private af-
fair attended by only a few friends,
among them being Prince David and
A. V. Gear, brother Of the judge. The
ceremony was performed by TIE Rev.
w. d. Westervelt. The bride and groom
have gone to Waialua to spend a brief
honeymoon.
Judge Gears engagement took place
when he was in San Francisco some
time ago, and it was his intention to
go to that city for the wedding. but
court business kept him here, and it
was decided that Miss Durphy should
come to Honolulu. She is a member of
a we'll known San Francisco family,
her father being a large contractor.
After the wedding Judge and Mrs.
Gear received a few friends at the Mo-
ana Hotel, and this morning they took
the train for Waialua. They are now
at Haleiwa. The fact that the wedding
had taken place was known to very
few, and 1t will he quite a surprise to
many friends of the second Judge,

PARTMENTS
WIPED OUT
SWEEPING CHANGES CoNTENI-
PLATED IN THE COUNTY GOV
ERNMENT ACT.

The first bill that will be introduced
and rushed to passage in the legisla-
ture next month will be the city and
county act AS it stands now it prac-
tically wipes out the Public Works De-
partment and the Attorney Generals
Department. City and county boards
and officers of various kinds are pro-
vided for who will look after improve
ments in their own districts, as well as
attending to police matters. These are
among the most sweeping changes that
the act will bring about
AccOI~A..5 10 the programme, Senator
Clarence Craeoe will introduce the bill
in. the Senate, leaving the pl esident's
chair temporarily lor that purpose.
Crabbe introduced the act in the last
Senate. In the House Of Representa-
tives SC. CEiIihsw VII introduce
the act. This will probably DC done on
the second day of the session, and the
act will have the right of way at once.
The prospect is that it will meet with
little or no opposition and need little
discussion, as it is to be printed dis
tributed and discussed before the legis-
lature meets.
A letter is now being sent to every
member of the legislature, asking all
to come to Honolulu by February l, in
order that there may be time for dis
cussion of the act. The Republican
central committee on Saturday decid-
ed to issue an invitation to United
States Attorney BreckOns, who framed
the law, to address a meeting of men,
bers of the committee, Legislators and
others, to be held some time this week.
A committee was appointed to have
copies of the act printed, and Breckons'
address will be printed with it, for dis
tribution all over the islands. This will
enable everyone to become familiar
with the provisions of the new law,
which is to make even more sweeping
changes in public affairs than the chan
ges brought about by the organic act.
The passage of the city and county
act will mean special elections in each
of the five counties created, early in
the year. The act as it stands is drawn
to go into effect on July 1 next, and
this will mean elections of officers in,
the counties at once. A special session
of the legislature is a possibility ait the
same time.
The Territorial offices of Superin-
tendent of Public Works, Attorney
General, Treasurer, Auditor, etc, are
created by the organic act, and cannot
be legislated away by the legislature
here, but the city and county govern
ment act will take nearly all the work
out of the hands of the Territorial
Public Works and the result will be
heavy cuts in the Territorial salaries,
which are fixed by the legislature.
There will be city and county treasur-
ers, attorneys. and police organizations.
and each of the Territorial bureaus
which now handle the work coming un-
der these heads will be correspondngly
reduced.

Tokyo, Japan. This is the longest ac-
cessfble cable point from here, and the
tolls are the highest on the cable COM
panys schedule of rates, being $2.77

The cost of this message was just
about twenty-five dollars. 1t goes from
one cable company to another all

SUCCESSOR TO
THE late
BISHOP
Changes That Will be Made
In Catholic Church Affairs
By the Death of Bishop
GuIStan,

The death of Bishop Gulstan, it is
expected, will hasten The appointment
of q successor if one has not already
been named in accordance with the pc
tition sent from here some time ago,
asking for an assistant, with the right
of succession. The three names men
toned for the position are those Of
Father Libert, Procincial Vicar Father
Matthias and Father Valentine.
The end OF the Bishops career will
mean many changes in the church
management besides the appointment
of a successor. The church property
in the islands was all held in the name
of Gulstan F. Ropert instead of being
held, as in most of the states, in
the name of the bishop as a perpetual
corporation sole. Bishop Gulstan left
a will by which the property interests,
which are very large, will be taken
care of for the church.
An act may be presented to the legis-
lature, as was done in many of the
eastern states, allowing the eXistance
of perpetual corporation, in the name
of the succeeding bishops, who will hold
me church property. This has been
recognized in the United States as the
most convenient way of handling the
affairs of the church.
The late bishop was also interested
Indirectly in a good deal of other peo-
pies property and affairs, having been
appointed trustee or guardian as in the
case of John K. Sumner. His death
will not affect the Sumner case, as the
stipulation of all counsel interested pro-
vides that the case shall continue with
p. D. Kellett as guardian. In other
cases where the bishop was trustee sub
stitutions will he made i'll due time.
The remains of the laLe prelate are
