THE LATE MRS. THOMAS FITCH.

From am old Wood Cut.

News of the death of Mrs. Fitch yes
terday caused surprise, although since
her departure from Honolulu last year
for the benefit OF ner health, it had been
known that she was feeble. Col. and
Mrs. Fitch had planned TO return to
Honolulu early this spring, TO again
take up their residence al the Aloana
Hotel but an attack OF typhoid fever and
later of Rright's disease made il impos-
siblc Tor Mrs Fitch to be moved
The death OF Mrs, Fitch removes a
woman who had achieved fame in the
West as an author and one who figured
no less prominently IN the early days Of
Nevada and California than did Col

poem was later published by Putnam &

is difficult to maintain the dignity and
poetical spirit OF a metrical narrative,
yet Mrs Fitch succeeded in introducing
the most beautiful bits of description
and philosophy throughout the story
which showed a thoughtful mind and
a cunning fancy Such is the following :

EMMELUTH
HAS A PLAN
Commission Should Now
Devise Revenue
Measure.

ut seems to me that the work of the
present Legislature would be incom-
plete unless some effort is made to de-
wise ways and means for the raising of
necessary revenue to maintain the gov
ernment and to formulate some plan
to be adopted for the future in the mat
ter of public improvements, largely If
not altogether benefiting some certain
portion of the community" said Ex-
Representative John Emmeluth yester-
day.
Take the matter of sewage system
which caused considerable discussion
in the Senate, owing to the inconsist-
ency of charging rates to those max
ing connections while others having.
equal facilities but not using the same,
do not pay. The right course to be
pursued, and one obtaining in nearly
all communities on the mainland, would
be to make the expense of the sewer
system, both as to first cost and main
tenance, charge against the property
benefited by the same. A sewer of
the kind now being put down in Homo
lulu would if placed in any city On
the mainland, be charge, in the ma
ture of special tax against property
abutting on the streets through which
the same runs, such tax being of suffi-
cient amount to meet principal and in
terest during the time the bonds rum.
Thus, the burden is equally borne by
all to whom the sewer is made accessi-
BILE, regardless of whether the property
is improved or not or whether if i'm
proved, the same be connected with
the sewer or not.
What is said of sewers Is equally
true of road making, sidewalks, and
conduits of all kinds, placed in streets
for the benefit of abutting property. It
seems to me that the government has,
reached the stage where new methods
of procedure must be adopted in order
to make the revenues available to cover
running expenses. To this end it
would seem desirable that the Legis-
lature before adjournment, provide for
a commission similar to that for the
county bill to inquire into revenue and
loan matters with a view to submit
ting some definite plan for equitable
distribution of expenditures of public
character to the next Legislature"

session, which committee reported a
resolution requiring the bills to be paid
from the present sessions expenses.
The report follows:
"Your committee has checked the ac-
counts and finds the same correct and
recommends the payment of same out
of the balance of the monies provided
for the expense of this special session
in Act 2 of the Session Laws of 1904,
for the following amounts: Enoch
johnson, s24O.s0; John Wise. s240.S0;
Chas. Wilcox, $3.50; w. j. Coelho,
s45S.6O; d. II. Kahaulelio s105.A; Solo
mon. Meheula, s5S5.O2; Paradise of the
Pacific, s63420; Hawaiian News Co.,
s21.25."
Oil wanted to add an item of s22.5o
for j. NJ. Kaai to the unpaid bills but
the amendment was rejected as the
voucher was not properly approved and
it was learned, had once been paid.
The resolution was adopted.
The garbage and sewer bill was re-
ported back to the House and passed
finally, with a. few changes.
INVESTIGATING COMMISSION.
Keiinoi introduced the following
concurrent resolution which was adopt
ed:
BE it Resolved, by the House of
Representatives of the Territory of Ha-
wall, the Senate concurring, That the
Governor be authorized to appoint a
commission of three men, to serve with
out pay, to investigate and report at
the next regular session of the Legis-
lature a plan for the reorganization of
our system of accounts, by establish
ing funds for each Island or District,
so that the residents in each may be
able to see what each district con-
tributes to the support of the whole,
and how much has been expended for
improvements and the maintenance of
public institutions in EACH"
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The clerk read the Senate amend
ments to the House county commission
resolution in the afternoon, and they
We're concurred in, 20 to 6. There We're
six negative votes on the final passage,
Greenweil, Kaniho, Kupihea, Oil, Pa
ele and Purdy.
Secretary Atkinson reported to the
House the signing by the Governor of
Acts 4 and 5, being the amendments to
limit the effect of the old eighteen
months appropriation bills.
Harris moved to reconsider the reso-
luton providing for the payment of the
House bills incurred during the extra
session. The resolution was adopted
with an amendment striking out the
last section which required the sur
charge on each voucher, that the bill
was unpaid. Harris explained that the
Treasurer wouldn't pay the bills with
that portion remaining on the bills.
Clerk Savidge reported from the Sen
ate that the Senate had concurred in
the changes made by the House in the
current appropriation bill.
A recess was taken, after which Har-
ris moved to reconsider the land reg
istration bill, adding to the bill the
words appropriation for expenses of
land court Previously the act was
unintelligible and was returned by the
Governor for the necessary correction.

THE SEWERAGE BILL.

A majority report of the Judiciary
committee, by Messrs Achi and Dickey,
was presented on the Sewerage bill.
They thought the present schedule of
annual rates was too high and pro-
posed a series of amendments. Dwell
ing houses and office buildings up to
140O square feet of floor space were
charged for sewer use from $l.50 lowest
to 81 highest, with So cents additional
for each 300 square feet of floor area.
Stables had rates reduced from 75 cents
per head of live stock to % cents. The
majority said:
I'VE think that the present rates
charged for garbage are not excessive
and as it is very difficult to prescribe
maximum rates we recommend that the
bill be not changed in that regard
With the amendments proposed they
recommended that the bill pass.
II do not concur" John 7. Brown
signed as a minority report.
Mr.. Dlckey moved, seconded by Mr..
Paris, that the report be adopted.
Mr.. Brown moved seconded by Mr..
Woods that the bill pass as originally
presented. This would leave out the
schedule of charges by the Public
Works card which Mr.. Isenberg had
moved as an amendment.
The original bill passed third reading
on the following vote:
Ayes-Achi. j. T. Brown, Crabbe,
Dickey, Kaiue, Kaohi, Nakapaahu,
Wilcox, Woods.-9.

BURNS AND CUTS.-Slight injuries
of this character are of frequent occur
renee in almost every household. While
they are not dangerous, except when
blood poisoning results from the injury,
they are often quite painful and ana
noying. They can be quickly healed
by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
1t allays the pain almost instantly and
heals the injured parts without matter
being formed, which insures a cure in
third the time that the usual treat
ment would require. 1t is the most
perfect preparation in use for burns,
scalds, cuts, bruises and like injuries.
1t should be applied with a feather,
and before the parts become swollen if
possible. For sale by All Dealers. Ben

 There have been various ways sug- gested tO calculate the speed of fish. 1t Is said that the swimming power of a brook trout minnow. which can leap eight or ten feet over a waterfall. can be computed by estimating the resist ance Of the water.
 "othefs argue, however. that the highest Jumper is not always the fast est runner. It would be difficult to compute the speed of fish as ornithoio- Rists do the flight of birds
