THE TRUTH ALWAYS.

"When you are in doubt tell
the truth" 1t was an expert
enced old diplomat who said this
to beginner n the work. 1t
may pass in some things, but
not in business. Fraud and de-
ception are often profitable so
long as concealed; yet detection
is certain sooner or later; then
comes the smash-up and the
punishment. The best and safest
way is to tell the truth all the
time. Thus you make friends
that stick by you, and a reputa-
ton that is always worth twen-
ty shillings to the pound every
where your goods are offered for
sale. We are able modestly to
affirm, that it is on this basis
that the worldwide popularity of
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
rests. The people have discov-
cred that this medicine is exact
ly what it is said to be, and
that it does what we have al
ways declared it will do. Its ma
ture also has been frankly made
known. 1t is palatable as honey
and contains all the nutritive and
curative properties of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, extracted by us from
fresh cod livers, combined with
the Compound Syrup of Hypo-
phosphites and the Extracts of
Malt and Wild Cherry. A COM
,bination of supreme excellence
and medicinal merit. Nothing
has been 80 successful in Ane-
mia, Scrofula, Bronchitis, Inhu-
enza, Loss Of Flesh and VAST
ing Diseases, Weakness and Low
Nervous Tone, and all COM
plants caused by Impure Blood.

WHO WAS THIS MANp
He Made a Remark That Ought TO
60 Into History.

WASHINGTON. March 5.--Senator
Foster of Washington has received the
following letter from DR.. Everett Hale,
chaplain of the Senate
My Dear Sir: When Commodore
Perry opened the ports of Japan, the
Japanese Government had in prison a
young fellow from Washington Terri
tory, who had been shipwrecked on
their coast, He was in prison only be-
cause he was a foreigner.
They cross-examined him and asked
him what officer in our Government
held higher rank than the men they
knew. He said the officers of the navy
had to obey the Secretary of the Navy
and that he was under the President
They asked him who was greater than
the President. This boy said that ''the
people is greater than the Presidency"
and in giving the account of this after
ward he said, ''of this they could make
nothing"
That remark of his is so fine that it
ought to go into history and literature
Can you tell me who the young fellow
probably wasl Or who in the Territory
will know who he was? Is il worth
while for me to address the Oregon
Historical Society, where / have some
friends? With great respect, truly yours,
EDWARD l.. HALE.

PREPARES
FOR BANDS FINISH

Captain Berger, leader of the Ha-
waiian Government band for about
thirty-five years, through the days of
the Monarchy, Provisional Government,
Republic and Territory, announced to
the bandsmen at rehearsal yesterday
morning, that at the end of the present
month the organization would probably
be shelved and the bandstands would
become the nesting haunts of the spar
rows. He told the bandsmen to pre-
pare for the blow which may fall upon
the organization, and said they would
probably receive their last pay on
April l.
II had talk with the Governor yes
terday," he said, and at the end of the
month we will probably get the axe
here" pointing to his neck. The lead
er said he had plan either to go to
st. Louis or to the coast for series
of concerts, but there was nothing
definite.

PRISON
LUNAS OUT
Sixty.Th-ee Policemen
on All Islands
Dropped.

Eight thousand, one hundred and
which High Sheriff Brown has figured
on saving to the territorial govern
ment in the wholesale reduction of cx-
penses ordered by Governor Carter.
The High Sheriff arrived at this figure
yesterday and will turn his schedule
over to the Governor today.
This will amount to s97,236 per an
mum, but the police force throughout
the islands will be greatly reduced in
size. To accomplish this reduction the
High Sheriff has recommended the fol-
lowing reduction of the mounted and
foot police throughout the islands:
oahu, II; Hawaii, 10; Maui, (and
Leper SettlemenD 10; Kauai, 8. Total
63.
The High Sheriff has also recon-
mended some material changes in the
method of using prison labor for pup
lie works. In the past it has been the
habit of the police department to in
clude in its estimates, payrolls for
lunas for prisoners who are sent out
to work in the quarries, parks, streets,
etc. Whenever the Public Works De-
partment desired prisoners to perform
work, they were supplied from the
prison, and luna was sent with each
gang. These lunas We're paid out of
the police appropriations.
The High Sheriff has cut off ten
lunas, each receiving $75 per month,
making a saving of $3.50 per month, or
$4,000 per annum. In future If the
Public Works department desires pris-
oners to work, it must supply the
lunas. The High Sheriff is of the
opinion that the police appropriat ton
has been used to further work of the
Public Works Department without be-
ing compensated.
The fund for coroner's inquest fees,
and witness fees in criminal cases,
may also be done away with If the
High Sheriff's recommendations are
followed throughout. Fees of the lat
ter kind have only been in force in the
past rev years, ana were never IN
cluded in appropriations under the
monarchy.
For Honolulu the High Sheriff has
cut out three mounted police, nine foot
police. one humane officer and four
other attaches.
The cuts made in all branches of the
police system have been required to
bring the actual cost of running the
department to s295,7OO, the lump figure
suggested by Governor Carter.
The maintenance of prisoners is a
big item and cannot be cut down
much. One expense to the police de-
partment Is unique. About fifty Fed
eral prisoners on an average are de-
tanned at the Oahu Prison every
month. For these the United States
pays to the territory fifty cents each
per day for food, etc, supplied. The
police department is compelled to
maintain the prisoners out of it's APP
but the money paid by
the Federal government is turned over
to Treasurer Kepoikai as a territorial
realization, and is not applied to the
police appropriation. The department
IS therefore out about $500 per month

MAY LOSE
GOOD MEN
Experts Won't Accept a
Reduction in
Salary.

The Territory is likely to lose the
services of a number of valuable men,
chiefly experts, because of the neces-
sity of economy. which has been forced
upon the government. There are a
number of professional men, scientific
and otherwise, who are working for
the government under salaries fixed by
the legislature, whose services the
Territory is likely to lose in case of
promised reduction of salaries. For
ester Hosmer and Assistant Superin-
tendent Rowland are among the names
mentioned of valuable men who are
likely to quit in case of reduction in
salaries, although in both cases as
surances have been given that no
recommendations for cut will be
made. What the legislature will do is
another question, as it may not recog-
nize the necessity of leaving the SAL
aries of the professional men in the
employ of the government up to the
HSureS WHICH are Current on tne Hlaln-
land. Both in the Department of Pub
lie Works and the Board of Agricul-
ture which is under that department,
there are number of skilled men en-
gineers, entomologists, etc, who are
likely to refuse a reduction in salary
and the same may be said of some
other bureaus of the cover lment.
Among the teachers, also, there is
considerable complaint and some resig
nations may follow, if the proposed
reduction of salaries is carried out.
Some of the teachers were brought to
the islands by the Board of Education
with promises of a specific salary, and
these men and women will object
strenuously to any violation of the in
ducements held out to them. There
has been considerable talk already of
designations in some of the schools,
and every teacher is Directing to the
suggestion that their vacation pay be
cut out. They claim that they were
employed at an annual rate which is
paid in twelve monthly installments
months. This has been done by the
Board of Education under an old rule,
by which it was intended to keep the
teachers from want during the sum-
mer months, it having been contem-
plated as a guard against the IMPROVE
dence of Hawaiian teachers, years ago.
These teachers claim that it is a vio-
lation of contract to contemplate the
cutting out of the vacation salaries,
to which they are entitled in any event.
in proportion to the number of months
they have been employed.
The reduction of the running ex-
penses of the government to fit the
income of the Territory, without Sc
riously impairing the efficiency of GER
tain branches of government is the
one vital problem which Governor Car
ter and the Legislature will have to
encounter at the special session.

THE SUGAR
SITUATION
IN HAWAII
Mr.. Tenney's Opinion
About Permanence
Of Prices.

1.-THE sugar situation at this time Is
something pretty hard to size up" said
E. d. Tenney, president of the Hawai-
ian Sugar Planters Association yes
terday. THE present rise may be ex-
planned by an advance in the European
market. The price of sugar in New
York is below the parity in Europe.
For instance the price of beet sugar
in Europe today is eight shillings, six
pence, which is equivalent to 1882 for
&c per cent centrifugals. The sugar
quotation in New York today Is S67,
fifteen cents difference, or three dol
lars per ton below the parity. Under
the reciprocity treaty the Cuban plant
ers get the benefit of a rebate of 1914
per ton and the Cuban planter can
sacrifice all of that before being on a
parity with the European market, and
so he sells his sugar in the United
States as his necessity for money re-
quires.
And the buyers. as long as the sup
ply is in excess of their requirements
continue to force the prices down, in
creasing the disparity. The Cubans
are forced to sell their product as they
need money, and in consequence the
price in New York Is held down below
the parity of Europe, amounting at one
time to S6.67 per ton. So the refinery
has been getting the benefit of reci-
procity.
Now the Cuban planters have re-
lieved their immediate needs and are
not offering sugar freely, as a result
of which the refiners have been COM
fn iot0 ha lot nd
sugars. as the sugar Is not coming to
them. This I believe is what is fore
ing the New York price up, although
the disparity between New York and
Europe today still amounts to three
dollars per ton On February 5th the
disparity was s6.67, so that in fifty
days it has decreased by 1857 per ton.
Now also the reports from Europe
show that the beet sowings this spring
indicate a slight decrease in Austria
and Germany, and n considerable de-
crease in France and Belgium. Thus
there will be decrease in the beet
sugar production of Europe and a
marked increase in consumption. This
has stimulated the beet sugar market
with the result that beets have adj
vanced since February 5th, seven and
a half pence per hundred weight. Con-
sequently in my opinion, the outlook is
favorable for better sugar prices later
in the year, depending on the advance
in the price of beets. 1 think the dis
parity between the London and New
York markets will disappear entirely;
the price reached will depend altogeth-
er upon how much beet sugar advances.
Beets at nine shillings, three and three
fourths pence will be equivalent to SO
centrifugals landed in New York at
four cents. If there is a considerable
decrease in the European production.
with an increased consumption it will
result in prices being maintained for
at least two years"
P. c. JONES' VIEWS.
II haven't seen any statistics for
weeks" said P. c. Jones, but I be-
lieve the fact that sugar is going up
at this season of the year is Indicative
of permanency in prices. I don't know
much about the European outlook, but
the advance at this time has many
encouraging features and it looks as If
the price will go still higher

which nevertheless formed a part of a | terrible scheme, conceded by him for the purpose of puniShing his guilty wife. During the previous three-quarters of an
 hour had been giving him oxygen. for Trousseau considered 1t of the frsc tm- l portance in all such cases.
 "On many previous occasions had
 noted its wonderful efficacy. and now
 was surprised to see how quickly 1t sup 1 piled the necessary vigor to the strong | will which had impressed me so much when I saw the Count for the first time. In a moment saw before me. not dye l ing man, whom I hoped to soothe during his last hours. but such man as Count | do Rocqueville had been formerly. strong and autocratic, somewhat rough and ab- ! rupt. but at the same time suave and | polished, as are all officers of good fam | fly. He began to talk to me about Trousseau, and after thanking me for coming so promptly to his assistance. he said he hoped I would be comfortable at the castle, and that he was sorry he | conld not entertain me himself. " You ought to walk as far as the vil- lage tomorrow he added. T feel better than I've felt for several days, and I'll sleep while you're away. Don't forget to look ut our church. It was built in the eleventh century. and Is curious piece of architecture. Oh by the way, want yolI to do something for me. I must send few despatches, and I de- pend on you to take them to the tele- graph office for me. Will you do me this favor? ~
 "The manner in which he asked this ordinary question was so strange and the expression on hts face was so earnest that the truth dawned on me at once and knew that the reason why he had asked Trolsseau to send one of his as- sistants to Rocqueville was because he wanted to have some reliable person who would perform this service for him. What answer could make except that would willingly take his despatches, though at the sane time sincerely wish ed that he had chosen some other mes senger? At his request took a seat at the table beside his bed and wrote. the telegrams as ho dictated them. When he gave me the first address I could. not help trembling. for this despatch was to go to M, Jean de Rocqueville, who was a eaptaiA of dragons and was stationed at. Nancy. Of the three other despatches one was intended for M Louis de Rocuue- ViIie, lieutenant in the army, who was then at Poltiers; another was addressed to, M. Robert de Rocqueville. an attache or the French embassy in London, and the third bore the name of M Aymery de Rocqueville, student at the Poly technic Schools in Paris. These were the four sons whose absence from home at this critical period had seemed so strange to the family physician. The four despatches were worded alike; the sons were notified of their fathers dan gerous illness and were told to come home at once.
 "I have looked over the time tables.' said the Count, and they can all get hero by tomorrow afternoon. I've no doubt you'll manage to keep me alive until then
 T aesured him that there. was no im- mediate danger, whereupon he asked esrnestly:--
 "'Will you promise me to send these dssI atches off at once?'

 CTS he worser she asked. sRemem- Der, you promised to tell me the truth "He was very low whesi saw him first replied. but the oxygen has done him so much good that am more hope full. I cannot. however, as yet expEes1 any decided opinion. Complete rest and solitudeS are indispensable. and by con- stantly giving him oxygen we may be able to get him safely through this crisis
 Then you don't think it necessary for me to send word to my sons7' shs asked anxiously. fa

 But one of them is so delicatss che said mean, my third son. who is an attache in London. He recently had bad attack of rheumatism, and, his heart has been weak ever since. Dr.. Trous- seau. who has been. attending him, says that he must. live, as quietly as possible as any kind of excitement is likely to tus Jure him.
 .eI made no reply and the subject vas dropped. Then, remembering my promise to the Count. told her that l would have to go to the village drug store in order to procure the twenty-five or thir- ty Mtres of oxygen which intended Co use daily. Though I used this as pre- text for going to the village, 1t was quits true, for the scanty supply of oxygen which had brought from Paris vas ale most exhausted. Within the next hour had sent ofH the four telegrams. and inc mediately on my return to the castle informed the Count, who was anxiousiy awaiting me, that had fully carried out his instructions.
 'T was only twenty-five then and knew nothing of life except what had seen in the hospital wards and lecture rooms. You will readily understand therefore that as I pondered over this family ttaG- edy I was strongly tempted to paT no attention to the old medical maxim which pr. Trousseau had impressed on me. Still, though my curiosity @aa aroused to the highest degree during the remaining hours of the day. can truthfully say that did nothing to sat- isfy 1t. attended to my patient just aa I would have attended to any stranger in a Paris hospital Unfortunately my resolution to take no part in the ap- preaching tragedy was set at naught by mere chance and through an incident which could not have occurred in a more modern building. Rocquexille Castle. as I have told you, was intended to ba O fortress and consequently its wallH were unusually thick From time to tirne modern Improvements were made in it and among them closets were constructed here and there in the great circular han which ran from one end of the building to the other. One of these closets was close to the Counts bedroom and ! had placed the oxygen and other medicines in it. small place 1t was. with two doors, one opening, into the Counts haa1e room and the other on the staIrcase
