Free Ice For the Sick.
Commissioner Macfarland has an
nounced that the philanthropic Wash
ington gentleman who last year fur
nished free ice for the sick and the
babies of the needy has renewed his
offer to furnish ice for the poor again
this summer. This generous Washing
ton citizen has authorized Mr.. Macfar-
land to make all the arrangements for
furnishing the ice and to draw upon
him for the money needed, only stipu-
lating that his name shall be withheld
from the public
statue OF Frederick the Great.
Major John S. Sewell, corps Of engi-
neers, who is in charge of the con
struction work at Washington bar
racks, has been instructed to erect a
suitable pedestal on the terrace in front
of the new Army War college for the
statue of Frederick the Great present
ed TO the United States by the emperor
of Germany. Congress has appropriat-
ed $4,000 for the pedestal and the ex-
penses connected with the erection Of
the statue. II has been arranged that
the statue shall be dedicated with APP
propriate ceremonies Nov. 10 next.
Potomac shnd.
The present season has not been a
profitable one with the fishermen down
the Potomac, they say, because Of the
scarcity of the fish. The catch of shad
has not been as large as usual. The to-
reports of Gwynne Harris, inspector
Of marine products, will aggregate
about 1877 800, while last year the catch
amounted to 1874 .444.
Hot weather and Uniforms.
At the beginning of the first hot
weather there was an agitation In the
war department for a modification Of
the order relative to uniforms Officers
desired to appear In the gauzy seer
sucker or the tapping alpaca or the
polka dot cotton jacket or anything
else that was cool and that did not re-
quire the warm military clothes. The
general stan set to work upon the mat
ter with view Of obtaining some sort
of uniform which might meet all re-
quirements OF hot weather and still be
military. The outcome Will probably
be that every officer win wear what
he pleases during the hot weather.

Help the Runt Pig.

If the pigs have trough to them
selves, away from the SOW, the runt
stands fairly good show If he is lib
orally fed, says American Agriculture
list. Otherwise he is no better off than
he would be were the extra food not
provided, Keep the trough full, and
he will eat after the rest have finished.
The runt should be kept with the SOW
for couple of weeks after the others
of the litter are weaned. This gives
him chance to gain some before he is
compelled to subsist on what he eats
alone.

nights after the interment Mr.. Par

Ing that Of a person enduring some
paroxysm Of acute pain.

The apparition was SO vivid that the
dreamer awoke, trembling from excite

was the result of the grief he felt on
account Of his sons death and after

seemed to him that he scarcely lost
consciousness when the vision reap
peared, beseeching more piteously than
before, that his father would come to
his aid, as they were "mangling his
body at that instant" The tortured
man slept no more that night and at
the break Of day repaired to the
clerks house, where the keys Of the
vault were kept Here he was in
formed that the key to the main door
had been broken and the clerks son
had gone to the smiths t. have new
one made rmpelled by the worst mis-
givings, the vicar procured crowbar,
by means Of wlkch the hinges Of the
door were wrenched off.
The sight that greeted him caused
the father to fall fainting to the floor.
His sons coffin had been lifted from
the recess and placed on the brick
pavement. The Lid lay loose on the
top. The body, enveloped in Its shroud,
on which were several spots Of blood
below the chin, was exposed to view.
The broad ribbon had been removed
from below the jaw, which hung down
with a most CHASTITY horror Of express
sion, and every tooth in the head had
been drawn. The youth while living
had possessed beautiful set Of teeth.
The clerks son, who was both a bar
Der and dentist, had obtained pos
session Of the vault keys for the pur-
pose Of extracting the teeth for use in
his business London Mall.

THE STATE OF COMMERCE.

The official figures of United States
commerce for the month of November
and for the eleven months ending with
November. show a growth in exports
of manufactures. but they do not show
the expected increase in exports of iron
and steel products. Imports of iron
and steel manufactures. however, show
a decrease in November, 1903, as com
pared with November, 1902, though for
the entire eleven months the figures of
iron and steel imports are slightly in
excess of those of last year. Importa-
tons of ether manufacturers materials
also show a slight decrease in Novem-
Der as compared with November of last
year, but a marked increase when the
eleven months ending with November
are considered in comparison with the
corresponding months of last year.
These figures of the commerce of the
eleven months would seem to indicate
that the total commerce of the United
States during the year about to end
will be greater than in any preceding
year, but that the total exports will
fail a few millions below those of 1900
and be about equal to those of 1901,
but materially in excess of those of
1902, while the total imports will ex-
coed those of any preceding year, and
combined with the exports make the
grand total of commerce more than in
any earlier year; also that the exports
OF manufactures will exceed those of
1902 by several millions, but be some
what below those of the record year
1900, and perhaps 1901

A HALL or RECORDS.

1t may be that fireproof halls of
archives cost a great deal of money IN
large cities, but that is no reason why
there should be a similar extravaga nce
here. Hawaii, in contemplating a
structure in the back yard of the Jul
dietary. building at Honolulu, for the
safe preservation of Government rec
ords, does not conjure up a massive
pile of granite and chilled steel, but
would be satisfied with a. very ordinary
ffreproof storeroom indeed. For ex-
ample a small building of double brick
walls, with a thick iron roof and con-
crete floor, ventilation arranged with
out windows, a single door of iron, and
the interior OF the structure to contain
such safes as are now used to hold
archives or, if not, iron-sheathed clos
ets-woodwork being everywhere elm
inated-would answer the needs of the
Territory very well. Light could DE
supplied by electrical appliances in
stalled in such a way that wires could
not possibly be crossed. Such a, build
ing would look Well enough for a. back
yard and if put well away from the
Judiciary building would not suffer
from the burning of the latter edifice.
The Legislature was prodigai enough
to appropriate $4,000 from the loan
fund for Hall of Records-enough
money to build a hotel. In the Ad-
vertiser's opinion $4,000 of that money
would build all the Hall Of Records
Hawaii needs. leaving $4,000 for other
purposes. OF course the figure does
not contemplate county offices in con-
nection with the archive department
but simply fireproof storehouse.
This is an era of economy and here
is chance to prove it.

THE lAuKEA BOND.

Mr.. Iaukea's bond is not acceptable
to the Supervisors because, although
! the signers, collectively, are good fol
! many times s15O.G0O. they have not
legally qualified each in double that
| amount. In an official opinion render
| ed by the District Attorney. Mr.. VIM
| T. Rawiins, it is pointed out that the
law requires that each bondsman re
{, spectiveIy" shall be responsible for
| "aIl'' funds which may come into the
bonded officials hands by virtue of his
! Office. AS the largest amount likely TO
be in the Assessors keeping at any
given time is put at $4,000, a bond in
double that amount is required and,
under the law. each surety must pledge
himself to make the entire sum good
in case of loss.
Hard as this bears on the particular
case of Mr.. Iaukea it is. but fair play
TO the taxpayers. The Iaukea bond
lists a large number of people in sums
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000. At any
time misfortune might visit some of
the signers without the Supervisors
being aware of the fact. In that event
the value of the bond would decrease
proportionately; but if each one be-
came responsible for the full amount,
meeting the property tests. two or
three of them might become insolvent
without affecting the value of the sure
ty as a whole Public interests require.
in bonding matters, that the very |
strongest guarantees be provided and |
the wisdom of experience suggests
that the responsibility of bondsmen for
principals be equally shared. Hence
the law which Mr.. Rawlins so faith
fully interprets- If this law did not
exist or if it stood as Mr.. Iaukea
chooses to think, an official bonded for
$4,000 might offer thousand signers
at so apiece. Such a bond would be
and unsafe. Nothing like it
is contemplated by the County Act;
and the County Act is an instrument
of whose. sacred and invfolate character
Mr.. Iaukea has borne frequent and elo-
quent witness.

WHAT IS A COUGH?

A spasmodic effort to expel the mucus
from the bronchial tubes. A cold causes
more abundant secretion of mucous,
and when the lungs and bronchial tubes
are inf1amed, they are extremely sensi-
tive to the irritation. Unless care is
taken, the cold may result in pneu-
monta, which is swift and deadly. If
the cold is lingering one. the more
leisurely but equally fatal consumption
may set in. Do not neglect a cold or

A FRUITLEss QUEST.

What is the use of asking the United
states to alter national policy to suit
local conditions? Such an undertaking
is not only a waste of time but it gives
the authorities at Washington a very
inadequate idea of the Intelligence and
the Arnericanism of the petitioners.
The Advertiser felt this when the
community was urging Congress,
through some of its commercial bodies
to return, for Territorial use, the re
ceipts of the Federal custom house in
Hawaii. Ethically speaking, we had 4
good plea but legally, economically
and politically speaking, We had no
ground to stand on. The whole United
States looks to the customs for the
bulk of it's revenue and any port OF
entry, subject to the American tarifT
laws, is not port Of given locallty
but a port of the United States ana
must be treated as such. If the preee-
dent were established of giving Ha-
wall the revenue of the custom houses
within its borders, then California
could rightfully demand the similar
revenues of San Francisco, Humboldt
Bay. Los Angeles and San Diego, and
so on around the Gulf and Atlantic |
coasts There can be no special privi- |
leges in the American tariff system.
unless coupled with some form OF
alien reciprocity; the national laws /
must deal with all alike, and this with
out reference to any local hardships |
which may have been counted in the
price of their benefits.
One fruitless experience in trying to
make the Federal tariff statutes par
fial in their application ought to have
been enough; but now we find the
Chamber of Commerce memorializing
Congress to exempt this Territory from
the scope and operation of the naviga-
ton laws Surely the Chamber has not
stopped to think. Naturally those in
terested in foreign ocean steam traffic
between here and San Francisco and
British Columbia do not like to have
their lines deprived of local or coast
wise" traffic which American compel
ing lines are free to enjoy. For this
feeling the Advertiser cannot blame
them: and it is even ready to admit
that this community would be better
off If they could have their way. But
they can't and the Chamber weakens
its influence in asking, in their behalf.

and for the advancement of our own interests, we
should not take snap Judgment ON either of the

of us believe it to be- 1t has been demonstrated that

The extension carries the work into deep water the
depth having been 30 feet when operations were
suspended last fall. A few hundred yards beyond
the end of the breakwater the depth is 10 fathoms,
and mile or SO farther out is 100 to $50 feet Con-
struction of the etty in such depths as these is no
small matter. The undertaking calls for the best
work of our scientific engineers Should they fail
in the future as they have in the past the Columbia
will be left with only 25 30 feet depth the mill
ions already expended will be lost and our harbor
deprived of suitable entrance.

It's all very well for the engineer department to-
make periodical soundngs, but it is not fair for the
